This is a week that highlights a shift in approach. The Sun prepares to leave cerebral Aquarius to move into surrender-driven Pisces. Accompanying this focus shift that informs the next 30 days, is the Virgo Full Moon on Tuesday at 7:54 am (PT) // 10:54 am (ET).

By mid-afternoon on Monday, the Sun enters Pisces, where it will journey for the next 30 days.

The focus now shifts from systems of ideas, of mental logistics to a more intuitive/imaginative part of the year.

The Sun’s journey through Pisces is accompanied by Mercury and Neptune, two archetypes that have already been dancing since last week. With Mercury already in Pisces, our minds are turned towards synthesizing what ideas have been swirling in our minds throughout January.

Pisces isn’t just about imagination, intuition and the mysterious world of what is unseen. It’s also about SYNTHESIS. As the last sign of the zodiac, there’s a sense of wrapping up a year’s journey before we are beckoned to kickstart something new when the Sun moves into Aries, and we also have the arrival of Spring.

Certain astrological aspects that will be backdrops for this year will be guiding us through this journey, and this Pisces month will serve as our springboard.

Much has been said about Saturn’s journey through Capricorn: a favorable time to work on the foundations and structures of our businesses’ riverbanks of offers, methodology, framework, etc. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, will be in a timely conversation with Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. This is akin to having two rulers in propitious diplomatic engagement. Usually, these two are an odd couple, but this year, we have an opportunity to engage with both.

But how? I’m calling this opportunity: Surrender to groundedness.

Saturn in Capricorn beckons us to work on the foundations of our businesses, streamlining our business flow (think riverbanks) and trimming what no longer will nurture its growth. Neptune in Pisces gifts us the waters of inspiration and intuitive imagination.

The caution here is not to let ourselves go into escapist meanderings, but more into active solitude where we can engage with nourishing creative activities. In other words, reduce the Netflix binge-watching to a minimum, but instead engage in meditative activities.

This is a theme for the year, but this week, with the Virgo Full Moon on Tuesday, we can have a glimpse of how we can do this in our daily lives. Virgo is about the daily rituals we perform to keep our lives running, and this sacred vessel in order. Full Moons illuminate, both what needs to be celebrated and embodied, but also that which will need to be let go when the time comes.

As the Full Moon will also engage with both Uranus (in Aries) and Mars (now in Taurus), we can use this spotlight to see what is still dormant in us and our businesses, and how we will work on the foundational resources of our lives. Uranus awakens us to see what is latent in our lives and needs to get going, while Mars teaches us the ebb and flow of our drive towards what we want.

In terms of business, Mars in Taurus, where it will be until the very end of March, invites us to use our energies to examine our resources (i.e., financial, material and bodily) and how we have been applying this in our businesses? It’s time to have the money conversations, especially as we are already in tax season (get it done early if possible.)

While Mars has just entered the realm of Taurus, all of this week, it will be triggering points that will reflect May, August, and September of last year. In other words, a certain Deja Vu will be in the air. What was happening in your business during those months last year?

On Monday, Moon will be finishing off her visit to Leo territory – focus on creative aspects of your business.

Tuesday and Wednesday, the Moon will be in Virgo. Time for ritual honoring of what has manifested or completed thus far. Time for emotional discernment about business issues that are up for you.

Thursday and Friday, the Moon will be in Libra, and also in her Waxing Crescent phase. Time to lay down foundations concerning the relationships that support your business. Initiate meet-ups, reach out to others, spend time in nourishing the relationship with your business partners.

Saturday, the Moon will arrive in Scorpio, calling for the courage to look underneath the rug of things that may be blocking the flow of around your business.

However this week transpires for you, may you find ways to steer your business towards prosperity and flow.

In Sum

A week to honor what has manifested and work on the foundational container of the business.

To do

Surrender to the earthy, grounded aspects of your business. Bring the intuition and imagination down to the body.

Enjoy & Thrive!
