Pisces is the place where energy is yet unformed and not solid, therefore can feel illusive, confusing and deceptive but really still holds the promise of the un-manifest and can shape shift and continually surprise us with ever unfolding possibilities, just like a waking dream.<br>\nMonday also marks the beginning of Saturn, the planet of lessons, responsibility, commitment and things that are very solid and very manifested in our lives, going retrograde in Scorpio, the sign of transformation, until the middle of July.<br>\nWednesday February 20 \u2013 spend at least part of the day in a Vision Quest of some sort \u2013 be it formal or informal \u2013 the Sun in Pisces kisses Neptune the ruler of Pisces and this is a day to download the dream from the divine.  Give time to align yourself with the best feeling thoughts that honor that which sparks you and gets you high \u2013 watch the alcohol, bad food, flu vibration \u2013 don\u2019t let any opportunistic mooching, freeloading stowaways from the cosmos come to you in the form of pain or drain \u2013 but really put definite awareness and intention toward your next dream, hope, vision and magic spell \u2013 this is a cosmic seed planting day if ever there was one. Leap into the center of your highest essential self and bring back a goblet full of dream elixir and spill it all over your life.<br>\nFriday February 22 Mercury, the planet of communication, travel, thinking, planning, knowing, talking, writing and generally organizing consciousness into a vocabulary we can use to interact with each other, is going retrograde in Pisces the sign of mystery until March 17.<br>\nThis whole week is very, very interesting and opens the door into a very, very interesting next few months.<br>\nLook for a definite shift to the next level of your work or structure or understanding.  Quite literally a promotion from one \u201cstage\u201d to the next \u201cstage\u201d.  All of a sudden you could be in a whole new play, with a new script, new costumes, new fellow players and a new director.<br>\nDon\u2019t be too concerned that you\u2019re unfamiliar with the script  \u2013 Mercury retrograde in Pisces leads to feelings of fear and insecurity because we\u2019re in new territory and don\u2019t have it all mentally figured out yet.  But for our artistic selves, this is heaven.  It\u2019s new inspiration, new ways of thinking and feeling and having opportunity to work on new projects with new people, even if it\u2019s not permanent, it might not make money and it might not be practical. Spend time indulging the soul, being a little silly and pursuing a bit of fantasy.<br>\n If we can approach this next six week period of time with an open mind and open heart, some very unique and surprising ideas may land that feel so nourishing and welcome and our structure is disrupted with Saturn Retrograde just enough to let this new amorphous shape shifting cosmic surfing energy have some room to breathe.<br>\nIt might be hard to focus and get into any regular routine this week, being specific and making clear linear choices might also be a challenge \u2013 stay spontaneous, expect the unexpected, look for deep unconscious material to surface not only inspiration but possible old wounds, grief and loss.  Let the weak, victim, loser, flu energy come into the light of day to be blasted with re-awakened higher concept energy in the realm of infinite possibilities.  This is a time when nothing is as it seems and all things are possible and the rules of the game can change for the better in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n<p>Explore, consider, experiment, adapt, travel, let go, burst with love and light.  If it\u2019s tired and old and doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019s gonna go \u2013 if it\u2019s just been waiting to dawn on you and have you finally \u201csee\u201d it \u2013 it\u2019s gonna come in the next 6 weeks.   This is re-visioning (Mercury retro in Pisces, Sun in Pisces) the work (Saturn Retro in Scorpio) and then integrating it into the current version of your best self in the now.
