Our jaunt through Pisces emphasizes the symbolist aspects of life. Poets, musicians, fashion hounds, actors and seers are featured. Pisces also emphasizes the fringes of life. Cloisters of nuns and penitentiaries chock full of prisoners are also quintessentially Piscean domains because they are in this world but not necessarily of this world. Pisces tends to unveil what is normally behind-the-scenes; consequently, what has been stashed, intentionally or not, tends to roil to the surface - - what a fine time for deep psychoanalysis.

Mars and Pluto, our two warrior archetypes, join forces over the weekend of the 17th; road rage abounds as Mars infuses his impatience into Pluto's usually tactical, watch-and-wait-and-sting nature; the ambiance is teeming with trigger-happy inclinations; themes of this conjunction include purges and running-aggressively-amok; what a fine time for primal scream therapy.
Our movement into sassy Aries on the 20th is like lighting a match; ardent Aries, the first sign of the western zodiac, breaks out of the gate with gusto. Endurance becomes necessary in whatever you initiate while Venus is retrograde.
The Moon is New in Aries on the 24th; New Moons represents beginnings and Aries is the first sign of the zodiac; this is a double-whammy emphasis of stirring a new chapter of your life ? wield a bold swizzle stick.
