Hi Friends,

If you've been feeling like communication is off, emotions are raging, or you need permission to slow down or create, there are actually several things happening in the sky that help to explain it.

Venus and Mercury just entered Pisces, and whether you follow astrology or not, this symbolizes palpable change in the collective energy. Here's what that means in plain language and how to work with it.

What's actually happening:

Venus (linked to love, relationships, beauty, values) is in Pisces until March 6. This is the most compassionate, creative, dreamy placement for Venus. In Pisces, Venus is like an etherial watery mermaid. Venus themes come with less sharp edges and more softness.

Mercury (linked to communication, thinking, processing and transportation) will be in Pisces until April 14, including a retrograde backward from February 26-March 20. Translation: expect conversations to be less linear, messages to get lost, and your intuition to speak louder than logic.

With the Sun in Aquarius, our conscious focus has been on collectives, communities, and shared interests. Venus and Mercury in Pisces now ask us to balance that outward focus with inner work—to feel deeply, to process and to release.

How to Work with Venus and Mercury ✨

Here are a few ways to work with this transit of Venus and Mercury:

♓️ Practice Venusian daily goodness. Small acts of beauty and kindness aren't just nice—they're strategic right now. Give yourself or bring someone you love flowers. Send that check-in text. Take the bath. Make your favorite meal. Offer forgiveness. These acts anchor you in what's good, particularly when the external world feels chaotic.

♓️ Give Mercurial grace. We're not all speaking the same language right now. Words will be foggy with Mercury in Pisces. Give people space to explain themselves without judgment. Allow room for misunderstandings. Trust that the real message might come through feeling rather than perfect articulation.

♓️ Ground yourself intentionally. You know in sci-fi movies how astronauts decontaminate after exploring an alien planet in space? That's what we need to do with our media consumption.

The proverbial wool is being stripped from many of our eyes, but it's easy to stay distracted by spectacle. Going offline—even for short stretches—is one of the best free tools we have right now.

We need to shower, touch grass, hug trees, knead bread, make love, swim in cozy water, kiss our babies, talk to our dogs. Grounding back to earth preserves our minds and bodies. It sharpens discernment. It helps us smell what's concealed beneath clever packaging.

♓️ Create something. Grieve something. Release something. Imagine you are in a creative and spiritual portal. Draw, write, vision, pray. As we move deeper into eclipse season, this is your invitation to purge what you've been holding, like grief, resentment, exhaustion, or old friends and family. While Saturn wraps up its final days in Pisces and major changes accelerate, use this time to create, grieve, be sensitive and look out for others.

Tenderness is an underrated form of care.

And soon, as Saturn moves into Aries with Neptune, there will be opportunities to channel rage we feel in constructive ways. But right now, let yourself soften and feel. The fight will still be there. I think you'll be clearer and stronger for having released what isn't yours to carry anymore.
