Act on your ambitions; the months ahead are an excellent time to make progress. You may well feel sufficiently driven to power your efforts without any further motivation, such that you might need to check in with yourself occasionally and make sure you’re not pushing ahead at the expense of your wellbeing. Your plans are likely to work best if you’re at your most happy and healthy. If you can muster your powers, you’ll be close to unstoppable.

Work that is a combination of physical and intellectual appears favored today, thanks to Mars and Saturn in a nice earth-sign trine across Taurus and Capricorn. You may even find you’re able to be more diligent than usual with physical tasks, though mind the details; and if you’re currently dealing with a difficult situation, you may feel a greater ability to cope with it. Yet today’s star aspect is a conjunction of the Sun and Mercury in Pisces — marking the astrological midpoint of the current retrograde. If you absolutely must conduct important business during a retrograde of Mercury, and cannot wait, today is traditionally said to be the best day for it.

Between Mercury’s retrograde status and the fact that it’s moving into contact with Jupiter, there’s a real possibility for sloppiness with the particulars of any given situation to creep in. Measure twice and cut once, however you apply that metaphor. Sun-Mercury conjunctions tend to indicate heightened self-involvement — and can make it a little harder to see yourself as others do. Can you use that direction of focus to review or untangle some facet of your past spiritual growth? With today’s first quarter Moon also square Jupiter, you have some leverage to work with.

Take decisive steps this year to claim your place in the world. Act on every opportunity to stand up and stand out, though also ensure what you have to share is substantive and can help make a difference. Some effort may be needed initially to refine or expand your ideas; yet you have the seeds in place and you know where you want to be heading. Getting people to pay attention probably won’t take long.

Wield your creative powers for good today, particularly the good of all concerned in any particular endeavor. The Pisces Sun is making a couple of aspects indicating that you can get a lot done right now. With the Sun’s sextile to Pluto in Capricorn, consider first focusing on clearing up anything that has become disordered or confused (including your home, work area, or an interpersonal situation). That should open up some space in which to really get into a project, plan or goal that excites you — the territory of the Sun’s square to Jupiter in Sagittarius.

If you’re naturally a go-getter, you may need to guard against overextension; on the other hand, if you typically tend to be cautious, you may be able to succeed at more than you normally might. The one thing to watch for with all this good juju is the potential to get a little self-righteous, or to believe a little too fervently in anything that’s not solidly factual — including your own personal mythos about who you are in the world. There’s always more than one side of the story of how we affect others, and of our origins. You may encounter fertile, multifaceted imaginative territory today, but it will be up to you to meet it constructively so that chaos does not reign.

Ceres in Sagittarius brings the potential for mentorship and maybe even a touch of ‘soul food’ to encounters with friends, acquaintances and organized group activities today. Do you find yourself in the role of mentor or mentee? Talking with a partner or peers about travel or potential adventures could lead to similar effects. Retrograde Mercury in Pisces is currently square the Galactic Core in Sagittarius. Consider taking notes about any big ideas, insightful intuitions, or humanitarian visions that you feel tension around or an urge to act on. Any such items with roots in the past are especially worth careful review. Once Mercury is direct and makes this aspect again in mid-April, you may see a clearer way to bring your thoughts to life here on Earth.

Today should be an easy day for friendships. Venus in Aquarius making a trine to Juno in Gemini bodes well for dynamic conversations, especially in groups of like-minded people or with acquaintances — or if speaking about eccentric or multi-level topics. (There could also be an affinity here for polyamory or group sexual encounters — or at least the idea of it.) Vesta in Pisces sextile Saturn in Capricorn suggests that creating a tangible space for someone or something you’re devoted to may yield results. But the opportunity needs you to activate it. The Moon in Taurus brings in emotional resonance with the Pisces planets — though its first aspect is a conjunction to Uranus in the first degree of Taurus. What you find beautiful today could surprise you. Are you open to that?

With Mars in steady, laid-back Taurus making a sextile to Neptune in altruistic Pisces (exact tomorrow), you may find the greatest fulfillment today in assisting others. Who in your life could use a helping hand, whether physically or through other resources (financial, emotional or spiritual)? Note also that this is not a very high-energy Mars aspect; it might equally suit some quiet meditation or reflection on life. The insights you reap from such activities could alter certain goals, instilling them with greater purpose.

Also note that retrograde Mercury in Pisces is square the centaur Ixion in Sagittarius. One possible line of questioning involves how you feel about past second chances (especially those you’ve squandered), times you’ve thoughtlessly let your ethics slip, or intentional-but-immoral choices you’ve made. What do you believe about yourself because of these actions? Owning the ways we think we’ve screwed up does not involve defensiveness, which implies a level of shame projected outward, and which in turn can present an obstacle to making amends or choosing a more ethical path. Can you take a little time to gently untangle those threads, if they’re present? Speaking with someone non-judgmental, and who’s not directly involved, could help you to find the space you need to forgive yourself and figure out the next steps.

The Day of Nonconformity | Order Your 2019-20 Pisces Reading | All Other Signs

Appreciate the ways that your life and your relationship are different from the people around you. It’s easy to lament what you don’t have, and productive to recognize your rare gifts and opportunities. One of them is the freedom to become the person you want to be, rather than having social pressure dictate your destiny. We could say this about everyone, though many factors suggest that it’s particularly true for you at the moment. Dance to the beat of your own drummer, at your own party. Don’t wait for an invitation. Create the space in your life to do what you want and what you need. You know you can, and you will.

Written In The Planets
As much as you may currently need or want a partner to be more communicative, it looks like there could be great benefit to all involved if you can offer them a little space and freedom. Should you be able to see that side of things, you may be tapping into the asteroid Juno in opposition to an object called Huya in Sagittarius. Huya, named after a Venezuelan rain god, appears to be associated with the positive effects of getting our egos out of the way as we offer what we have to give to the world. Note also that both objects are square Orcus in Virgo. This suggests that you respect the details of your agreements in this situation, particularly those with partners and friends.

The Sun is still conjunct Neptune and Vesta in Pisces, further highlighting emotional and psychic sensitivity, and a desire to benefit or hold space for others. Stay clear about where the line is drawn between offering your services and empathy versus projecting your fantasies onto others. Mercury, currently retrograde in Pisces for the next three weeks, could make that a slippery slope. When in doubt, review how things turned out in past similar situations, and use only the lessons that are truly transferable.

Take advantage of any sense you might have of feeling renewed, refreshed or inspired. If you have questions about your role or mission, hold space for yourself to look for answers. Seek knowledge and accuracy, but understand the difference between this and getting bogged down in self-doubt. Remember that your purpose for the moment may simply be what you’re trying to accomplish now. That is a perfectly acceptable solution.

Faith versus intellect is a false dichotomy, but one our current culture keeps hammering on relentlessly. Can you rationalize what your intuition tells you? Do you need to — or is it enough simply to verify necessary facts and then trust the small, still voice inside? Several facets of yesterday’s Pisces New Moon are still in contact today, even though the Moon itself has moved on. Namely, the Sun, Vesta and Neptune are square a little-used centaur planet called Asbolus, in Gemini. This adds some specificity to the theme of ‘space holding’ that’s currently being highlighted, and seems to describe a couple of questions. One would be: how do you actively hold space for the ways you’ve survived in this world, and for who you are as a survivor? Another might be to ask how you integrate your intellectual understanding of that survival with your faith in yourself to continue — and to continue healing and thriving. Any action made in answer to these questions will likely help to ease any tension you may feel around the topic.

Reach for what gets to the essence of you, and bypass everything else. Your birthday this year is accompanied by some truly astounding astrology.

Eventually, all routes converge on the one you know you need to follow, and you have every reason to skip the sidetracks and head right for the goal.

About seven-and-a-half hours or so after Uranus changes signs today, there will be a New Moon in Pisces. If you’ve been feeling on edge lately, or like you’re waiting for something to crest or emerge but you’re not sure what, Uranus finally making its move may offer the shift you’ve been needing. That said, it could still come with a surprise that calls for some flexibility; which, in turn, might be easier to exercise if you can give yourself a little space to feel what’s going on, and to see all your response options.

When the Sun and Moon conjoin in Pisces for the New Moon, they’re also conjunct Neptune and the asteroid Vesta. On one level, this is a reminder of the need to hold space for yourself, and for whatever emerges into your awareness through conscious means (such as external things you encounter) or through your dreams and intuition. What does it mean to “hold space for yourself”? It can be as literal as just giving yourself some dedicated time alone, without distractions (such as your phone), and noticing what thoughts and emotions are present. It might mean something more structured like meditation or a ritual. You can also think of it more figuratively: such as practicing not judging yourself for whatever you’re going through right now.

This could prove especially helpful if you’re feeling the building square between Pluto in Capricorn and Eris in Aries. Yes, it’s necessary to respond to deep, foundational changes — especially the internal kind — with some kind of action. However, creating total chaos is not your only option. Staying in communication with those closest to you about what’s going on should help in that regard. Just be aware that with Mercury retrograde in Pisces (as of yesterday), the emotional tone, energy, or general impression of how you say what you say might convey even more than your words do.
