Greetings, Gifted Reader!
With the Sun’s entry in the sign Pisces today (10:18 p.m., PST), we are nearing the end of the Astrological year. The Vernal Equinox on March 19, signaling Sun in Aries, will usher in a new 12-month Astrological cycle.
Now is the time to plan for the upcoming Astro year while finishing off projects in this Pisces period. Whether you’re dumping people who’ve been sucking your energy, or doing something less dramatic like leaving a bad habit behind, you’ll find it easier to come up with fresh ideas after March 19 if you rid yourself of stale ones now.

As for Pisces, it’s probably the most misunderstood of the 12 signs. That’s because its symbol is a pair of fish swimming in opposite directions in a circle. The Pisces you think you know may not be that person at all. Just like fish, slippery Pisces tends to be highly elusive.
Interestingly, the late singer Whitney Houston had Pisces Ascendant. And, it’s notable that people’s perceptions of her differed. Even though her Leo Sun and Aries Moon endowed her with a powerful, fiery, ego-driven personality and character, her outermost layer seemed to convey a deer-in-the-headlights innocence. Pisces often exist in a state of confusion, unable to make the simplest of decisions. While Houston was born into a strong Christian family, she also descended into drugs and alcohol even while being a world-renowned star.
Ruled by the mystical planet Neptune, Pisces can be so ethereal that it experiences difficulty at grasping reality—which also makes it a great actor! But then again, Pisces is imbued with an understanding of the deeper, more spiritual side of life. Often gifted with a sweet voice and gentle nature, Pisces is also vulnerable. Because of its mutable water quality, it tends to get snagged in other people’s nets--sometimes intentionally because Pisces finds it easier to go along with someone else’s agenda than deciding for itself.
The 12th House, which Pisces rules, is often referred to as The House of Self-Undoing or The House of Self-Imprisonment. This House is where we rid ourselves of the goings-on of the previous eleven Houses and come face-to-face with our true souls. It’s not always a pretty picture. The 12th House also rules religion and prisons.

Of course, everything depends on where Pisces and Neptune are located in your Natal chart. Take a look at what House Neptune is currently transiting to see where you need to clean house, if you will. With early Pisces in her Fifth House, Gypsy Stars is experiencing a surge of creativity.
In fact, one way that we’re prepping for the Astro new year is by creating more t-shirt designs. If you haven’t yet, please visit T-zing on Café Press. If you don’t see what you want, check back again on March 19 for a new look.
