Pisces Horoscope for February 2012
By Susan Miller
It is not every day that a major planet makes a once-in-165-year entry into a sign, but that is precisely what is about to happen this month. Neptune will enter your sign on February 3 and remain in Pisces for the coming fourteen years. In every respect, Neptune is coming home. Neptune rules Pisces and will exert its best qualities while in its own sign. You will, of course, take to this new trend easily and naturally. Many people never get to experience Neptune in their sign, but because Neptune is your ruling planet, this will make the coming years all the more delicious.
Neptune’s greatest gift to you will be to greatly expand your imagination and your creativity, and as such, you are the prefect sign to accept those gifts. You will be encouraged to express yourself in completely new ways, to be innovative and experimental. If you work in the creative sphere, this shift of Neptune will, of course, seem like a miracle. Suddenly the world is listening to you, dear Pisces, for you will be setting the tone.
This shift of Neptune to Pisces will instantly put you in the spotlight, for when a major outer planet enters a new sign, that planet begins to influence everything - not only your own personal life, but also in society. Fashions will be affected, as well as popular culture, politics, and the prevailing opinions and approaches of the times. This new trend will feel comfortable and “right” for you - this is, after all, about all things Pisces. Your confidence will grow in the coming fourteen years that Neptune spends in your sign, and with each victory, you will feel more comfortable about pursuing the ideas that are closest to your heart, and perhaps are the most daring. While it will take a little time for Neptune to settle in, in time Neptune will bring a host of opportunities to you to investigate, all perfectly suited to your personality.
If you feel you are not at all creative, think again, for all Pisces have that divine spark within. You were born with the ability to see the world in ways that are different from others. Individuals can be creative in many differing ways - it all comes down to the way you think, the way you perceive reality, and in the way you, as a Pisces, are able to make unusual connections between disparate, seemingly unrelated themes that that others fail to see and that you connect, seeming effortlessly. You can work in any field and be creative.
Pisces is considered the most imaginative sign of the zodiac. Your intuition is sharp, and one of your greatest talents is in knowing what the public will want down the road, before any research shows where things are heading. Pisces just knows, but as said earlier, you often have no idea how you know, or where the thoughts come from - you just do. You are known to be a right brain learner, taking in the world through your right, visual brain, rather than the more analytical left-brain. As a Pisces, your subconscious is very strong and dominates your thinking. Your mind picks up tiny signals that others miss, and somehow your mind is able to make sense of those bits and pieces and instinctively organize them into a whole. Your ability to predict what is coming often baffles others and proves you right time after time. Some call you psychic - you say you’re simply being observant.
Until now, Neptune has been in objective, fact-oriented Aquarius since 1998, filling your twelfth house of privacy and introspection. With your ruler in your most private part of the horoscope, you most likely had a role that kept you mainly behind the scenes. No more. Now your ruling planet about to come out and into the brilliant sunlight - and you will too. The twelfth house, where Neptune has been based for fourteen years, is symbolic of the primordial waters of creation, and is also symbolic of the time prior to your birth, as you were being formed within your mother. You are ready to be born now in new form, dear Pisces. Your identity will be refreshed and reinvented. Suddenly many eyes will be on you. Your appearance may change and be upgraded, and your face may start to be recognized by a much wider audience.
Your image may be known on TV, or in important print or Internet media, and you will likely become known by those in your industry or the world at large. Soon everyone will want your take on a variety of issues, including questions of style, beauty, politics, art, and design. You won’t have to wait too long to see Neptune’s power to bring exciting opportunity and change.
On February 21, a new moon in Pisces 3 degrees will appear and Neptune will orbit very close. This is your moment! Take all fortunate breaks that come up at this time seriously. Don’t ask others their opinion about whether you should do this or that - you know yourself well enough. It is your decision.
Two heavyweights, Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, and Pluto, the planet of pure power, will walk with Neptune at this new moon, like two dignitaries accompanying Neptune to his new place of honor. Pluto is about mass influence and financial gain, and Jupiter brings happiness, expansion, and his own brand of financial good fortune - when together, your luck will become bigger and more powerful. This all suggests that you will amass a cadre of staunch supporters. Pluto is in your house of community and friendship, so you seem to have a constituency who will want you to gain in popularity and position.
Jupiter is currently in your communications house, so your talent in these arts, to write, speak, edit, direct, act, sell, translate, perform, or manage any other part of the communication process, will come together to bring success.
Lately you may have had your share of detractors or critics. Perhaps it has not been many, but only one person. Mars, now in the seventh house, is aching for a fight, for Mars is now in the place in the chart where sometimes competitors come out and make their feelings known. You may not have felt this, not unless your birthday falls within the two weeks of March 7 to 21. If your birthday falls within those days, but especially on or near March 12, you know what I am talking about. You may have had a challenger or difficult partner, in love or business. You could not ignore this person, so you were forced to strike back. Pisces is often thought to be too meek for battle, but now, if anyone underestimated your will to stand up for yourself, they will be sorry.
Mars is now retrograde, a situation that started on January 23, and will continue until April 13. Think back to January 23, what happened within three days of that date. Mars is the natural ruler of your second house of income, so money may have formed a big part of the discussion. Funds due you may be delayed, or disputed, but again, more likely if you were born near March 12, plus or minus five days. Watch again on April 13 when the same discussion will come up, but at that time, you’ll get more information.
Saturn has been pressing on you and causing you complex problems with money and credit. Saturn will leave in October, thank goodness, but for now, Saturn is about to retrograde too, from February 7 to June 25. Saturn becomes weaker in retrograde, which in this case may be helpful. He won’t have so much bite, and you can take the time to rethink and reorganize financial affairs. You might renegotiate an ongoing contract too - see how this fits into your life.
Still, there will be immediate upbeat news about money. Venus will move into your income sector from February 8 to March 5, and that alone will help your cash flow.
Watch Thursday, February 9, when you may receive very good news about money. Venus will conjoin Uranus then, in your house of personal income. You are likely to hear such happy financial news, you will be thrilled. It’s alternatively possible you may receive a gift - one that you love.
The full moon of February 7 in Leo 18 degrees, will light your solar sixth house of work assignments. That week is likely to be a busy one. All full moons have an area of influence that extends four days before and after the date the full moon appears, so keep that in mind. Expect one or more work projects to come to fruition. Leo, the sign where the full moon will appear, is a luxury sign, so perhaps the product or service you will be working on is expensive or exclusive in some way. If you are speaking, perhaps you will appear in a private club or other esteemed venue. It sounds like you will find this moment quite gratifying! The special part is that you will have a chance to make a good sum of money as a result of what comes to fruition.
Keep your health strong this week, as you may lower your resistance if you are stretched too thin.
Romantically, Venus will still be in Pisces, lucky you, from February 1 to 7, favoring you above all others. If you are single, your charisma will be strong. Consider going out over February 4-5 - the moon will be in Cancer so these two days should be heavenly. By then, Neptune will be in Pisces, so the stage will be set and the cosmos will roll out the red carpet for you.
If you are attached, Valentine’s Day, February 14, may be very sweet this year. Mercury is the planet that governs your spouse or steady date, because it is the planet that governs your solar seventh house of commitment, marriage and established partnerships, and collaborations. Mercury will be chatting up other planets. Those conversations will benefit you. Keep a very important point in mind when I tell you about these lovely Mercury aspects - all aspects have a plus or minus of one to two days from the day an aspect “hits” so that means that you will still feel their glow on Valentine’s Day.
On February 13, Mercury will dine with Neptune, helping to set the scene for a very glamorous, sparkling message that may come that day or the day after. On the same day, Mercury will meet with Saturn, so promises made will be promises kept. On February 16, you will have Mercury in perfect angle to Jupiter, making this a wonderful day for a romantic trip or for sharing feelings and dreams for the future.
The month will end on a spectacular weekend, February 25-26, when Jupiter and the Sun will be in sync, and together will cook up sensational opportunities for you. That weekend is worth four gold stars! You may travel, near or far, or you may just have a great time when you find that just about everything goes your way. Your good fortune will begin Friday, February 24. If your birthday falls on these days, you will be doubly fortunate.
On February 29, when Pluto and the Sun align, you will get outstanding help from a high level friend. It’s a wow of a time. Pisces, you’ve suffered through certain parts of 2007-2011, but now, you come into your own.
Pisces born within five days of February 21 (the new moon), or near February 25-28, will not only love February, but can look forward to a whole year ahead of fresh starts and wonderful opportunities. Jupiter, Pluto, and Neptune will each contribute gifts - your time is coming, dear Pisces! Rarely have you seen a year like the one that is to start!
