Editor’s note: this is the full PW members’ edition, featuring your extended February monthly horoscope by Eric, Create; and Eric’s Planet Waves FM program.

Dear Friend and Reader:

As has been mentioned elsewhere — and as you’ve probably been feeling — we’re in a rather ‘edgy’ phase of astrology. This could be coming through several ways — such as needing to express something but never getting the right opportunity; or waiting for key information that feels like it will never arrive; or wanting to get moving with a plan or project but seeing no clear path forward. You can probably describe your own version of it — then again, perhaps struggling to identify and articulate what’s going on for you is a primary factor in the sensation (or maybe it’s just not that strong for you).

We can look to Chiron in the last degree of Pisces and Uranus in the last degree of Aries as the prime suspects for the edginess. To a lesser extent, the asteroid Pallas, in the last degree of Libra, is surely contributing to this overall atmosphere.

Really, though, slow-moving Chiron and Uranus are calling the tune. Chiron will be the first to make its move, entering Aries in just a week and a half, on Feb. 18. Uranus will enter Taurus on March 6. Yet I suspect it may be Uranus that’s generating the stronger buzz right now.

Mainly that’s because Mars is sidling up to it. The Mars-Uranus conjunction won’t be exact until Feb. 13 — almost a week from now. But these are two high-voltage planets in a fiery sign where Mars is strong — and Mars aspects often have a way of making themselves known well in advance of when they’re exact.

Eric mentioned recently that he’s noticed a pattern of Mars acting as the ‘cue ball’ when outer planets are about to change sign, seeming to bump the planet to its next destination by way of making the final major aspect prior to the move. Mars is doing that with Uranus — and it indicates a burst of energy that could manifest as a surprise, especially if you try to avoid expressing any of it in the next week.

Mars and Uranus opposite Pallas in Libra increases the need to be prepared for plans changing on a moment’s notice. This could be especially true in relationship situations — bearing in mind that relationships come in many different forms beyond the ‘significant other’ situation many people think of automatically. There are workplace and business associations, family relationships, creative partnerships, friendships of all stripes.

Sometimes one person asserting their individuality or need for freedom comes as a shock, or feels particularly disruptive, to another person, and this aspect pattern describes that potential. That is not a warning to avoid doing anything differently; it’s just a reminder that flexibility and an open mind could come in handy the next week or two.

Paul Newman as “Fast Eddie” Felson lines up his cue ball in the 1961 film The Hustler; Jackie Gleason as “Minnesota Fats” looks on.

It’s also a reminder that other people are responsible for their own responses in the face of your being who you are; and that the more you practice asserting your individuality in creative, constructive forms along the way, the less likely it may be that you suddenly explode in a rash or destructive “I just gotta be me” bomb.

Speaking of dangers like explosions: Mars-Uranus is also classic “fall, crash, shock” accident astrology. Starting now, it’s crucial to be careful with sharp, hot or electrical tools; drive with full focus; have someone to spot you if you need to climb on a high object, even a chair, to get something. Uranus puts particular emphasis on the electrical and electronic theme, and on any kind of technology. This means drive when you drive — no calling, texting, etc.; pull over if you need to re-program your GPS.

Between now and Feb. 13, we have some other aspects that could be quite useful in the approach to the Mars-Uranus conjunction. For example, some sextiles are offering potential traction (but you still need to provide the mental focus and awareness).

Namely, we have the Aquarius Sun in contact with Jupiter in Sagittarius, and Mercury in Aquarius contacting Mars and Uranus in Aries. Both are air-to-fire relationships, bringing mental energy and spirit into harmony. Mars introduces a specifically physical form of energy that’s so important to getting things done in 3-D space.

Some of what’s described here includes the ability to work and play well within groups, good relationships with authority figures, and an idealistic boost for your goals and ideas. You may also feel fired up mentally and ready to work hard, especially on individual projects; or you may possess the extra confidence you’ve needed to take advantage of opportunities.

Chart for Wednesday’s Mars-Uranus conjunction, which is at the lower-right in Aries, flanked by Eris. View glyph key here.

There’s also the potential to see new, fresh solutions if you tackle old, previously unsolvable problems — especially if you intentionally vary your routine. The thing about these sextiles, however, is that you have to choose to use them to get the most out of what they have to offer.

In the midst of it, Pallas in Libra is exactly opposite Uranus in Aries today. You might try asking yourself: where’s the meeting point between the plan and the new innovation? What constructive means do you have to negotiate and navigate whatever you’re facing — whether you take solo initiative or engage the help of friends?

Finally, I want to point out that Mercury enters Pisces on Sunday at 5:50 am EST (10:50 UTC). This may help to ease any mental pressure you’ve been feeling (such as busy thoughts or getting stuck in an idea that’s not going anywhere). At the same time, this is a very sensitive position for Mercury. While we need more of its empathy and poetic sensibility in this world, it also can be prone to wanting to escape, and wanting to avoid getting hurt or hurting others.

Hopefully you can already deduce how this could complicate a person’s ability to express the Mars-Uranus conjunction. Little white lies — told to someone else or to yourself — are not going to fly if pressure starts to build due to trying to repress what you know you need to do.

What are your instincts telling you? Remember, if you’re feeling edgy, it’s just energy waiting for — or looking for — a way out and a purpose. Even if you’re not sure about walking through a particular door, opening a window could let in some fresh air. Just be focused and intentional as you do it.

Yours & truly,

Amanda Painter

The Wisdom of Your Future Self: Looking Back from 2020

Dear Friend and Reader:

Have you ever wondered what guidance your future self would offer your present self, if you could hear what he or she had to say?

I’m now in the thick of writing VISION 2020, the second part of INTELLIGENCE. For this annual, I’ve designed a two-year reading. Part one, RESET 2019, looks forward from where we are now, out to early 2020, at the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn.

Readings designed for your Sun and rising sign are available for instant access.

Hard at work in my busy little astrology/music/art studio.

If you feel a sense of pressure building, that would be Saturn-Pluto, which has not happened since 1982. RESET 2019 — available now — discusses how to work with that energy. Ideally, everyone would get a personal astrology reading to guide them, and I’ve done my best to come as close as anyone can.

One of my fields of mastery is working without the natal chart, using a combination of ancient techniques, modern planets and skills gained in more than 20 years of helping my clients.

VISION 2020, part two of INTELLIGENCE, begins with the astrology of late 2020, looking back from the future at the present moment. A conjunction on the winter solstice of 2020 describes a bold vision for ourselves and the world, focused in the sign Aquarius. It’s a whole new realm of astrology, unlike anything we’ve seen in generations.

We’re going have to get there, and it will be a journey. Much of that quest will be guided by Chiron in Aries, which takes hold in February, lasting eight years. One question that will come into focus is what’s happened as a result of immersing ourselves in digital consciousness for the past 20 years, and what we can do to rectify that.

We will need to claim ourselves back, from the false identities created by social media, and reconstruct our social reality on the basis of trust and common ground. There will be massive political shifts; we will hear callings come into focus that have been whispering from the background.

This is not astrology for the faint-hearted — it requires courage by both the seeker and the astrologer reading the charts.

Reviews of INTELLIGENCE have been coming in over the past two weeks:

“Thank you Eric for this incredibly perceptive and inspiring reading for Virgo. On New Year’s Eve I was experiencing laryngitis, so rather than go out and party I decided to spend the evening in review of my past turbulent and stressful year, and to set some directions for 2019. Everything that I pondered and reviewed and set goals for has come up and been verified for me by your reading. Not only that, but your deep perception of Virgo in relationship and the quest to find ourselves, has left me in deep appreciation of your abilities as an astrologer and consciously soulful human being.”

My readings are affordable, they are easy to understand, and they stand up to many playings. I’ve included four pieces of music by Vision Quest with each, to open up a meditative space where you can think about your life: something that is rare to find these days.

Treat yourself. Take care of yourself. Tap into the wisdom of your future self.

Here are your purchase options:

All 12 Audio Readings Only — $99

All 12 Written and Audio Readings — $133

Individual signs, written and audio — $44 for the first sign, $22 for each additional sign.

Thank you for trusting me as your astrologer.

With love,

PS — Your reading comes with many excellent resources, including access to 19 years of past annual editions for you to research and explore. If you are trying to make some sense of your life and get some direction, this is the place.

Be Your Most Forward-Thinking Self, Aquarius

“Listening to the first part of this reading offered wonderful pieces of information, which fell easily into the lines of code I download on a regular basis…My intention was to express my gratitude for your work, both parts of this reading are accurate and true for me. A serious opportunity and call to action for all Aquarians to notice the resources they have direct and indirect access to for making change. Keep doing what you do.”

— Michael P., on the current 2019-2020 Aquarius Astrology Studio

Do you have an Aquarius Sun, Rising sign or Moon? You can get instant access to your new Aquarius Astrology Studio (previously the Birthday Reading) when you order. Both audio astrology sections (each 30-minutes or longer) are completed; your tarot reading will be ready a little later.

This has been a wild year or so for anyone with significant Aquarius in their chart — and this year’s big astrological events promise to build on the many changes you’ve been going through. Between major planets changing sign and the seemingly never-ceasing intensification of life itself, the world needs you at your most forward thinking.

Eric pours his decades of astrological and therapeutic experience into these audio readings — ensuring that you get the energized motivation, inspiration, practical tips and quiet reassurance you need to tackle whatever come your way — and to thrive in the process. You may order yours here.

The Edge Between Destruction and Creation

By Amanda Painter

Months after the devastating Camp Fire in Paradise, California, artist and former Paradise resident Shane Grammer began to develop an idea: to use the charred remains of buildings and vehicles as canvases in tribute to the lives and homes that were lost. He calls the project “Out of the Ashes.”

“I always wanted a piece of (his) artwork,” said Grammer’s friend Shane Edwards in a phone interview with CNN. “He saw the photos of what was left of my house and asked to paint the fireplace.”

According to CNN, “A few days after Christmas, the pair met up at the debris-strewn site. Grammer then used spray paint to transform Edwards’ charred chimney into a portrait of a woman, a piece he called ‘Beauty Among the Ashes.'”

Grammer, a former graffiti artist who now designs theme park elements, describes his efforts to balance his excitement at the unorthodox canvases with a strong desire to be sensitive to the community. At times dealing with the loss and grief inherent in this work has been distressing.

“I work on art work that is deeply passionate, and it’s always been my desire to move people emotionally,” he said to CNN. “Suddenly it happened, and I just find myself breaking down and crying.”

In addition to the photos accompanying the CNN article, some especially lovely shots have been posted publicly by Lori Mallory Eckhart on Facebook.

Our Gifts to You: A Little Something Extra

Dear Friend and Reader:

It took me a long time to figure out what kind of gift to offer for new and returning subscribers. Tee shirts seemed too complicated; you need at least six sizes to get started, and not everyone wants a shirt. Tote bags are useful but kind of boring.

So I thought: journals. I love notebooks, and just about everything I write starts scribbled down on paper. I know my readers are a little old-fashioned, so this seemed like the perfect thing.

Black smaller, pink larger, embossed with the Planet Waves logo. There are a few hand painted sketchbooks left, with heavy, acid-free paper.

Then…I researched embossed journals for about six months. That’s how long it took. I requested or purchased samples of the best that suppliers had, and all kinds of stuff came floating in the door. It was more challenging than I imagined to find a nice one, though finally I did.

Everything had to be right: the paper, the lines, and how the book feels in your hands.

However, the one I selected was being discontinued. I ordered as many as we could reasonably afford. We now have two main options: small black ones, and larger pink ones (these are new).

Together, they are the approximate color of Good & Plenty candy. I am one of these people who loves anything pink (sweatshirts, nail polish, headbands, a hot pink Squier guitar that I gave to Zosha a few years ago). We also have a few hand-painted notebooks left, which are acid-free sketchbooks.

You can get an embossed notebook with any monthly, quarterly or yearly membership to Planet Waves. If, by the way, there’s a calling for hand-painted ones, I will make one more-or-less to your preferences (for those who sign up for a full-year Backstage Pass).

Monthly Horoscopes and Publishing Schedule Notes

Your extended monthly horoscopes for February were published on Monday, Feb. 4, and are also published below in this issue. We published your extended monthly horoscopes for January on Thursday, Jan. 1. Please note: we normally publish the extended monthly horoscope after the Sun has entered a new sign.

Aries (March 20-April 19) — In all that you do, it’s essential that you act above board. State your intentions, carry them out, and say what you did. Consult with others when necessary. Your astrology is advising nothing less than total honesty and directness, particularly when you are carrying out professional plans, and when you’re using official power and unofficial power, such as any form of organizing, movement-building or persuasion. It’s typical in such realms to cloak one’s purpose, or to act in ways that are intended to go unseen. Often, a few tricks are considered harmless enough. That’s not going to wash, under the current astrology. Such an approach could harm others, and it could backfire. While a straightforward, straight-shooter kind of approach may be less convenient, it’s also less susceptible to any form of corruption or abuse of your authority. Honesty is the only way to ensure that. Speaking to the friendlier side of the equation, you want your actions to be collaborative, and will benefit from their being so. This will bring in more ideas, and will serve to divide the work and some of the responsibility. Your role can include coordination and also a visionary element; someone has to handle that part, and to ultimately hold the bag. All of this is facilitated by your ability as a communicator. Keep everything on the level — that is, mean what you say, and say what you mean. Get your full Aries reading by Eric here.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) — Current aspects may have you feeling on edge, as if something is about to happen, but you don’t know what it is, or even have a clue what to expect. This sensation is related to Uranus about to enter your sign, to stay for the next seven years. Yet the anticipation in many ways carries more tension than the experience itself. The 12th house, where Uranus is currently lurking for a few more weeks, can feel like a blind spot within yourself, and this particular planet is a big presence, with a lot of energy, now squeezed into a tight space. So it’s natural enough that you may feel like a whale is about to break the surface. That may be enough to ease your mind, though I suggest you tap into intuitive methods of sussing out the interior and the subtle realms — the most helpful being your dreams. What are they telling you? Your dreams are your most effective method of divination, not of what will happen, but of how you feel below the level of cerebral awareness. Allow your desires, your anxieties, your anger, your needs, and all that kind of stuff, to bubble out to the surface. Work the boundary between the ‘conscious’ and the ‘unconscious’ until it is permeable, such that information can pass back and forth in both directions. Uranus has been transiting through your 12th house since the spring of 2010. This has come with a certain kind of restlessness, and a drive for self-discovery and self-creation, of which you are approaching the full embodiment. Get your full Taurus reading by Eric here.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) — Keep a close watch on a deeply personal situation — and keep it in a private space, where it belongs. It’s not public business; it’s not a suitable topic of discussion among your friends and associates, or at least not at this point. Even if it started there, do what you can to get out of any public discourse and focus the discussion on the specific people involved: what looks like you, and an intimate partner whose identity may not be known to others. All personal material, whether it involves money, sex, pillow talk, family business or any equivalent matter, needs to be handled with the utmost sensitivity over the next few weeks. That means focusing on one-on-one discussions, and taking things as slowly as possible. There is a wider context involved, which goes back further in time than may be apparent, including the potential for this to be a multigenerational issue. When you encounter one of those, it’s necessary to be aware of the fact that bursts of energy, fear, pain, judgment, confusion and chaos can come pulsing down the genetic line. It is, therefore, essential to recognize that when it’s happening, and to be mindful of the present context: what is relevant now; what today’s customs are; and how lives were different 100 years ago. If a sexual matter is concerned, it’s essential (though not always easy) to stand away from moralism, and to allow personal truth to come forth. Nobody is your judge and jury. Not even you. Get your full Gemini reading by Eric here.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — On Feb. 18, Chiron enters Aries, the 10th house of your solar chart. This is a promotion for you, an elevation of your reach, and a vesting of your authority. Yet because Chiron is involved, the underlying theme is healing, teaching and service. This is not the typical worldly approach to professional affairs. There is no ambition involved. Your life is not a question of power; your life is a matter of what purpose you are able to serve for humanity (as you define it — beginning close to home), and how you can have that work for you as well. You don’t need to make any decisions at this stage. Rather, hang loose for a while, and get a sense of what options are opening up. Conduct an honest assessment of what your responsibilities are, and how you feel about them. Last year, you may have gone through some kind of confidence crisis related to your professional activities, or your standing in the community. Rethink that and find out what it taught you. Evaluate how you handled yourself in a situation where you had to take charge in some way, which most likely translated to taking responsibility. That’s the thing that so few people want to do in our era. You are being called; you are most likely willing to respond; and you will learn a lot about yourself if you do. Focus on solving problems, and gently — very gently — enacting your highest vision for your life and for the world: one step at a time. One day at a time. Get your full Cancer reading by Eric here.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) — Be bold about adopting a new vision for your life: where you want to go, what you want to do, and ultimately, who you want to be. Though you cannot be someone different from who you are, you can correct your trajectory and veer back in the direction of your true being. Much of what happens in life, from the beginning, blows us off course from who we really are. Various insults and injuries have a way of doing this, and the effects add up. Yet at any time, you can claim your true self, though this is a matter of faith. It’s also a matter of making a commitment to live in reality, not in a fantasy rendition of who you are or, worse, someone else’s fantasy. Chiron entering your fellow fire sign Aries will help you pull focus on your ideas about yourself. Be prepared to give up all that is not true — willingly and generously. You have so much to discover, you would be amazed if you could see it now. It’s also true that you have considerable territory to cross on important work- and health-related matters, yet Chiron’s presence will offer you focusing power like you’ve rarely had in your life, particularly in the past seven years. Focus is the thing that you need the most; scattered and chaotic energy is not your friend right now. Order and organization will serve you well, and save you much time and effort. Get your full Leo reading by Eric here.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — All sex is an experiment, and it often becomes an experiment in love or long-term relating. This is not so much out of idealism but rather because people tend to get attached, and place judgments on encounters that don’t last long (even though these happen all the time). Proceed in the spirit of gaining experience. This is a missing element in our relationships today; the notion of being an expert, somehow spared of the process of trial and error, of learning, of exploring, of that slow work of getting to understand a person. If this happens (and sometimes it does), it’s still not regarded as a virtue in itself. Yet it’s one that will help you immeasurably. Some of the experience you gain will be one-to-one; other facets will involve the dynamics of groups, and the way that they come to consensus and decision. If you’re alert and allow yourself to participate, you will also learn about the way you influence groups and can be influenced by them. Study all of this carefully, and make mental or written notes. You’re in an unusual position to see things that others cannot see, to notice what others miss, and to learn what others may not care so much about. One thing to keep in mind is that you’re more influential than you think, and you can therefore dial back the intensity of your effort. Notice the power that sharing one thought can have. Observe the way one thing leads to another. Get your full Virgo reading by Eric here.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) — Take the chance and express yourself in a way you’re sure nobody will understand and that you think might even be offensive. The idea is not to push others, but rather to push yourself. The fear of “what others might think” is one of the most pervasive and pernicious excuses for not doing what you want. My proposal is that we think of this as challenging a boundary within you, rather than to what is socially acceptable. In every way, you’re being challenged to test what you think makes you feel safe and secure. As the coming weeks and months unfold, this will reach into every area of your life, though the common root they all share involves your family of origin. Children recognize the power of adults in a way that adults almost always fail to recognize, or to remember. And much of that power is waged in the threat of non-acceptance. This keeps kids (and later, adults) bound up in what seems like fear, but which is more accurately described as guilt and shame. The question you now face is not about what you do; in truth, it’s about who you are, and who you allow yourself to be. The greatest challenge you face is to let go of a certain kind of inner rigidity that has a way of ruling your life and obstructing your ability to feel joy, pleasure and love. It will be time for this to end when you say it’s time for it to end, though I promise, this will feel dangerous, at first. Get your full Libra reading by Eric here.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) — Between conforming to the expectations of others and exploding in rebellion, there is plenty of space to explore. It would seem, though, that more than you want to revolt, and more than you want to be accepted, you need a definition of integrity that you can abide. This does not mean perfection, though it does mean a kind of honesty that may be alien to you, as there is so much that you prefer not to say. Yet if your chart is describing nothing else, it’s a pressing need for transparency, particularly of your motives and your desires. It’s easier to get what you want, under many circumstances, if you don’t say what it is, or if you cloak it in another story. Yet that’s the very thing that will work the worst for you, and presents the greatest potential for you to hurt others. To be sure, others are vulnerable to you right now, to both your words and your choices. The only way to facilitate your freedom and to protect others is to be real with them, and to be gentle. If you’ve done something wrong, admit it, without asking for forgiveness. Meanwhile, as the Quakers say, tread lightly on the Earth. That’s a good idea any time, though particularly necessary as your ruling planet Mars makes a conjunction to Uranus a little later in the month. Drive in a calm and methodical way, and avoid any deep personal conversation when anyone involved is under the influence of alcohol. Get your full Scorpio reading by Eric here.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) — Community, communication and commerce are related words, and they describe what we humans need to do together. The realm of the ‘common’ is your home right now, the ordinary, the mundane. The people you’ll want to commune with are your neighbors and friends — the people who are like sisters and brothers to you. Be aware you’re likely to be in a lot better condition than many of the people you know, no matter how challenging your life may be at times. You have resources and wisdom that others often lack; you have a sense of perspective. More than anything, your drive for independence gives you more freedom to be yourself than many other people are willing to allow. With Chiron about to enter your fellow fire sign Aries, your drive for self-expression is likely to be the factor that powers your life for the foreseeable future. You cannot suppress this; you must give yourself room to push into new territory, and to claim yourself as who you are, limitations and all. But you won’t know what those limits are until you push them, and when you discover that they move, you may decide to define them differently. You can only find out who you are when you push past the boundaries of who you are not. You of all people cannot be trapped within a false self-concept, and if getting out of that comes with a crisis, it’s one I suggest you embrace willingly, and boldly. Get your full Sagittarius reading by Eric here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) — You seem to be struggling with the need for containment, and craving some strong authority to assert itself in your life. Yet you must be the container and the authority; the one who regulates yourself; the one who has control, and the one who keeps track of the passage of time. By extension, the one who can relax the control, discipline and containment that you assert — by choice, through some healthy outlet. Events this month will take you through some emotional ups and downs, as Venus passes through your sign making aspects to many other planets. It will help if you check in with others and tell them what you’re feeling from day to day. You may have to overcome your usual policy of not wanting to explain yourself, and not wanting to open yourself up to being vulnerable by sharing your feelings. However, it will help you to do so, and you will avoid the pitfall of blaming others for how you feel and what you want. Take ownership of your desire, and what you perceive as your needs, and be gracious when anyone expresses an interest in helping you meet them. You may observe in yourself a dual tendency to rely on others for structure and stability and at the same time resenting them for limiting you in some way. Saturn is in your sign, and that means being your own master. Pluto is in your sign, and that says keeping a pulse on your unconscious impulses. Venus is in your sign, and that tells you love and respect are the only way forward. Get your full Capricorn reading by Eric here.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Try to notice when you’re being reactive. You tend to see yourself as a cool, calm and focused person, which is true enough, most of the time. It’s not true all the time, however, and you will be well served by tracking your inner barometer. Notice when you’re feeling under pressure. Notice when you have something you need to say. Notice when your libido is going through the roof and you don’t understand why. In general, pay attention to yourself, by doing things like tuning in every morning, drinking a big glass of water and contemplating what you remember of your dreams. They will be offering you plenty of useful information this month, and it will reveal how you truly feel about your existence. It’s vital that you take one day at a time, because this month in particular, every day will be different from the next. This may stretch your need for consistency and self-control. Yet you’re going through a phase of your development when you’re letting go of a false kind of influence in exchange for something more useful. And that more useful thing begins and ends with knowing how you feel, and also staying a few steps ahead of yourself. If you notice yourself going into denial — of anything at all — gently wake yourself up and look into the truth of the situation. If you remain awake and alert, you will be a lot happier, you will get more done, and you will catch a glimpse of a greatly improved future life that awaits you. Get your full Aquarius reading by Eric here.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Among the developments of the next few weeks is your adopting a new approach to money. You have learned a lot the past several years about what works and what does not work. You’ve learned something about your worth, in the spiritual and the monetary sense of the word. Now it’s time to pull focus and use what you know. Cast off any seemingly spiritual notions that there is something inherently ‘bad’ about money. The only thing that can be worthy or not are values, and it’s those you are being called upon to stick to. You know what is right for you; it’s time to use that knowledge. With Chiron entering your 2nd house of personal resources, the time has arrived when you must put all of your assets to work. At the same time, focus on eliminating everything that has outdone its use, everything that no longer serves you, and all that you don’t need. Clear your space of useless things; keep only the tools of your trade that you know you need. Close bank accounts and credit accounts that you’re not using. Get an exact figure of how much cash you have on hand, how much debt, how much credit you have available, and how much is owed to you. The essence of Chiron in the 2nd house is knowing where you stand with yourself, particularly with the sign Aries involved. You are embarking on a courageous new adventure in discovering who you are, and the themes of money and values will be your best friends. Get your full Pisces reading by Eric here.
