If Your Birthday is March 1
(The Day of Artistic Sensibilities) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may be more psychically and emotionally sensitive to others today. If you’re in a position to help people — whether individually or as part of a group — you can use your deeper understanding of them to beneficial, empathetic effect. On the other hand, you might find that this enhanced awareness is energetically overwhelming. Retreating into meditation, deep study or similar could help; and daydreams may be calling your name. Beware of substances, however; the ‘escape’ they seem to promise could be harder to control.

Written in the Planets
Today the Sun is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. You’ve likely been feeling its effects for at least a week, and will continue to for the next week or so. The ego-dissolving property of this aspect is great for any kind of service work, creativity and getting under the surface of things. However, its downside can be a tendency to “color and shade the truth,” as astrologer Isabel Hickey has put it. It’s one thing to dream; it’s another thing to buy into those dreams; and it’s yet another thing still to disregard demonstrable facts in favor of fantasies and half-truths. Watch your honesty level with yourself. Ceres in Taurus trine Juno in Capricorn offer some earthy grounding. Your body does not lie about what makes it feel good.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 28
(The Day of Zest) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
In one sense, you’re likely feeling either very idealistic and optimistic or else quite mystified and confused. Whichever is true for you, chances are good the sensation is linked to your ability to articulate where you are with regard to healing a particularly long-standing issue. This issue looks like it relates to transgressed boundaries — whether in this life, in past lives, or in the lives of your ancestors. Those boundaries might have been emotional, energetic, psychic, sexual, creative or all of the above. Both confusion and optimism can work equally well as starting points for seeking the help you need for your next phase of self-discovery and karmic release. After all: you can only ever start where you are.

Written in the Planets
Today the Moon enters Aries. This adds to the impulsive energy that may have peaked over the weekend. You certainly can use this to begin moving ahead with projects that demanded your attention while between eclipses, as well as anything new that has popped up since Sunday. At the same time, if you’ve recently experienced anything that made you wonder if Mercury was retrograde (it’s not) — such as incomplete communication, bungled travel or errors in judgment — you’re feeling the downside of Mars-Uranus-Eris. On top of that, the Sun and Neptune have been conspiring to fog matters over, though you might not have realized it. Bottom line: take your time with plans, decisions and the new steps you’re rearin’ to make. You can still move forward — ideally at a pace that allows you to notice what you’d otherwise skip.

— John Steinbeck

Special Comment: From an Eclipse into Venus Retrograde

Today’s eclipse in Pisces was what you might call a watershed moment: a point of transition from one phase of your life to another. This one put us under considerable pressure to wrap up old business and make way for new experiences.

Ruy Queiroz caught the Feb. 26 eclipse in Sao Paulo, one of the world’s major financial centers and the most populous city in Brazil.

Eclipses have lasting effects, and this one is not over. The Sun is still moving toward Neptune in Pisces, which will be inspiring if you can stay above the confusion.

To work with Neptune you must keep your confidence and clarity of mind, while still honoring your creativity and intuition. You can do it; it will help to take one thing at a time.

While this eclipse is pulsing through the water of Pisces in circular waves, another event is happening in Aries: Mars passing through the Uranus-Eris conjunction. This is radical astrology, it’s bold and it’s also asking for careful and reasoned thought.

Remember, the Sun is conjunct Neptune at the moment, which can be idealistic or foggy. Mars is mixing it up with electrical Uranus and rebellious Eris. So you’ll want to think before you act, even if you want to make some kind of sudden move. The problem with Neptune is that it can either conceal information, or make you think something is a great idea when it might not be. Hence, discernment is necessary. Real-time tests are necessary, before you go all-in.

One relevant example is that, often, people will smoke a little pot and think something is a great idea. It may be, it may not be, but you need to think it through in the morning, and maybe test it out in real life. Mars-Uranus-Eris can indeed spark inspired ideas; it’s just not guaranteed.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 27
(The Day of the Reality Masters) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Pay attention to any intuitive flash that sheds light on where you’re headed, developmentally speaking. Be prepared to make conscious changes to old patterns if that’s what is required. You have the mental skill to do this wisely and well.

Written in the Planets
Mars aspecting Jupiter calls on us to take an active part in rectifying any imbalance that’s getting out of hand, as Eric discussed in Planet Waves TV recently. You have the capacity to see all sides of an issue. You also probably understand how and where you can best get involved. Turn to your instincts if anything is unclear — it’s likely a specific feeling or insight will help you see through to the core truth.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 26
(The Day of Arousal) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
How can you know whether you’re clarifying a vision for your life or operating under a delusion? One clue is whether you allow what you learn to change you as you pursue your quest. That is, as you encounter new facts and perspectives, do you let them influence your choices? You have a beautifully Piscean solar eclipse happening today. If your dream vision for your life and your healing process seem to intersect, that is just one sign that you’re on the right track. If you spend part of today doing something you really love, that might very well offer other signs, now or in a few months.

Written in the Planets
Today the Sun and Moon form a conjunction in Pisces: a new Moon, and also a partial solar eclipse. It’s been two weeks since we experienced the Leo Full Moon and lunar eclipse. It’s possible that these two weeks have felt strangely compressed: like a surprising number of events have been squeezed in, or like you’re further along a particular road than you would normally expect to be. It’s also possible that you might not really notice this phenomenon until sometime after the eclipse has happened, and you look back. This New Moon also seems to be emphasizing emotional, karmic or sexual healing of some sort. You might be very aware of what you’re ready to jettison, or you could be thinking more about your next steps. Both ways of focusing are part of the process, so work the energy in the way that feels best to you.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 25
(The Day of the Higher Cause) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As your instincts and overall sensitivity get a boost later today or tonight, remind yourself to take a broad view of any situation you meet. It might seem like there’s only one very narrowly defined way to make a particular relationship work. But is that really true? Probably not. The planets are currently emphasizing your visionary potential. Put it to use, and see if you can imagine a more creative way of relating.

Written in the Planets
Today Mercury enters Pisces, followed by the Moon overnight into Sunday. That will temporarily make eight planets and points in Pisces as we approach Sunday’s Pisces New Moon and partial solar eclipse. Have you been taking your swimming lessons these last couple weeks since the lunar eclipse? Clearly there’s a suggestion here to go with the flow. But that does not mean abandoning all authority over your life, or your responsibility for making choices. You have some ability to direct the flow, which is not the same as trying to push the river or forcing your will. Pay careful attention to what your environment is offering you in terms of options, and notice how they mesh with your desires — even if only tangentially. Look where you want to be, and you may find it easier to ride the currents.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 25
(The Day of Sacrifice) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Can you stand uncompromisingly in your own truth? Today’s astrology suggests two ways you can support that endeavor. On one side, there’s an indication that taking the lead in carefully structuring how you express your emotional needs (especially in relationships) would be beneficial. Stand on solid ground, but beware of camping out in the past. Balancing this on the other side is a symbol of nourishing your body in tangible ways. Remember that when you take the initiative to care for your body from the inside out, your emotional wellbeing benefits immeasurably.

Written in the Planets
What do you actually want to devote yourself to? What feels like service, and what feels like sacrifice? You might notice some tension today between your strongest desires for yourself and what might feel like a social imperative to care for others. But do you really have to choose one or the other? Mars in Aries is square retrograde Vesta in Cancer. While that might put you under pressure, remember that the remedy is to take some action. Maybe the solution is simply to choose what order to go in, and you’ll find a way to integrate the two sides of the equation? An additional thought: both Mars and Vesta have strong erotic connotations. Sometimes it’s easier to show others some lovin’ after you’ve taken care of yourself, first.

(The Day of the Viable Candidate) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The time is ripe for some serious psychic housecleaning. This can certainly be an intense process, but — much as when you literally scrub a surface down until it gleams — the end result, if not the task itself, can be wonderfully satisfying.

Written in the Planets
This is a good day for really knuckling down and getting on with things. Mercury’s contact with Saturn, alongside the Moon in Aquarius, suggest that clarity, diligence and a certain earnestness may be both easier than usual and well rewarded. If you’re sometimes inclined to put off tasks for just the right day, well…here it is.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 22
(The Day of Universality) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Modern relationship orthodoxy in the digital age would seem to dictate that ‘fast, glamorous and mediated by online personas’ is the only way. But is it? Of course not. Yet if you feel like that’s all you see when you look out into the world, you might start to wonder. Take a moment to think about the times you’ve felt most loving, and most loved, in your past relationships (and yes, your relationships with your pets totally count). If that’s the feeling you’re looking for, that’s the feeling you’ll want to offer others — and to yourself, first and foremost.

How would you describe yourself: as looking for creative ways to positively transform your life and the world around you; or as determined to get ahead, no matter how ruthless or underhanded you need to be?

That is, both scenarios describe high levels of energy looking for an outlet. Remember, even the most proactive, altruistic motives can meet with opposition and challenges to your ego. You might have to adjust your methods. Yet you can still align with your intentions — and get good work done — if you stay ethical.
