Mars has returned to Pisces, for the first time since February/March 2013.
The warrior planet Mars is softened and soulful in Pisces. The water signs are motivated by meaning and mood, so what grabs your heart can compel you to act now. Mars will be in Pisces from January 12 – February 21, 2015.
There are three distinct themes to the 2015 cycle of Mars through Pisces. Last week Mars squared Saturn, (2 Sagittarius to 2 Pisces), creating a realistic, at times heavy energy that highlighted the value of duty and responsibility.
At the end of January Mars will sextile Pluto, from 14 Pisces to 14 Capricorn. Power and passion will be unleashed then and your drive can help you move mountains then.
But for now, Mars will dance with Neptune. Between Sunday January 18 – Wednesday January 21 Mars and Neptune will flow together around 4 – 5 Pisces. This creates a soulful warrior vibe that can help you give in to a calling, or put energy into (Mars) a compassionate project (Neptune in Pisces).
This water pairing may evoke strong feelings, or bring an event that will touch your heart. The search for connection and the desire for your actions to matter, or make a difference, may motivate you to push forward on a personal passion. Music and meditation can be powerful motivating tools.
Both Neptune and Pisces represent a lack of boundaries. This can be helpful if it means you overcome a barrier that has been preventing progress. You may find it in your heart to let go and let things flow.
You may release the need to know and focus on faith. Trust in a feeling or a higher power may be helpful as the spiritual and intuitive aspects of Neptune and Pisces are highlighted.
Life may feel in flux so where possible give yourself space to go with the flow, or to follow your feelings. Trusting a hunch can lead to a wonderful new experience.
Neptune’s fluid nature may mean this isn’t necessarily the most productive few days, but we will all have the chance to learn to trust that inner voice. If you feel restless and want to move, do so. If you feel a big vague or flat and want to rest, honour that.
