Notice
Welcome to Pisces season!
Eclipse Season Overview
We are well into eclipse season following the New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius just yesterday. This first Aquarius eclipse, at 29º, in the axis of expression invites us to innovate the ways we do and be in this world.
A solar eclipse at the anaretic degree reveals to us the collective fatigue and overall doneness with broken systems and ways of being that were constructed for survival rather than for thriving.
Eclipse season dates:
Eclipse season begins 2/10/2026
New Moon Aquarius solar eclipse 2/17/26 (Chinese New Year)
Full Moon Virgo lunar eclipse 3/3/2026
Eclipse season ends 3/18/2026
New Moon Aquarius Solar Eclipse — Collective Change | 2/17/26
The Chinese new year, brought in on the Aquarius New Moon and hinging on an eclipse, bears powerful meaning of significant change. The fated opening of doors and doors being closed without negotiation is the quality of energy this Pisces season.
You may feel exhausted from the antics of your inner rebel with its thirst to push forward, or ready to soften those plans that once felt urgent.
Seasonal Shift from Aquarius to Pisces
The shift from future-focused and aloof Aquarius into the dreamy and coalescing Pisces will help temper any impulsivity you might have been feeling.
Pisces Sun will provoke integration and healing with this shift.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
While Mercury, stationing retrograde in Pisces, will add another layer of healing and revision to this season.
Mercury Retrograde Pisces 2026 Dates
With Mercury moving retrograde in Pisces, this is a time of reflection and listening rather than seeking out the answers.
Pre- Shadow begins 2/11 3:12p — 8° Pis
Mercury Retrograde 2/25 11:48p — 22° Pis
Mercury Direct 3/20 1:33p — 8° Pis
Post-Shadow ends 4/9 5:42a — 22° Pis
Rethinking or revising while leveraging your intuition and emotional intelligence is the best way to work with this Mercury retrograde instead of against it.
Something to Muse: How is this shift from future-focused drive to compassionate integration playing out in my life right now?
ALIGN: The Energetics Behind This Season
Integration and Healing During Pisces Season
Eclipse season changes can be beneficial and a welcome experience while others can feel like a jolt of disbelief and sometimes pain or suffering.
Sometimes you will get a blend of both at the same time.
This season’s eclipse portal is an invitation rooted in compassion. Your personal healing and integration of the changes the Pisces/Virgo eclipses have been asking of you is the key.
Having strong Pisces/Virgo in my chart shows me that during Pisces season I need less work/responsibility and more time/space for integration and healing. Alignment for me will look like more time dreaming and creating.
Reflection and Alignment Practices
If you’ve felt overworked, alignment may look like self care at the expense of ‘shoulds’ and obligations.
Alignment for you may look like forgiveness. It may look like integration. It may look like healing. You get to choose the medicine you need right now.
Something to Muse: Which type of alignment resonates most with me this season—integration, healing, forgiveness, self care, something else?
Craft
Creating Space for Creativity, Intuition, and Compassion
Pisces season layered with eclipses and Mercury retrograde is inviting you to make more space for creativity, intuition and compassion.
My favorite thing to create space for is making and leveraging my creativity where I can. A simple creative practice for me is knitting for 1 hour everyday after dinner. I have found this works two-fold for offering a creative outlet and a self care practice all in one.
Ideas for Crafting Your Season
Ideas for making space for creativity, intuition and compassion this season:
- Begin a forgiveness practice, starting with yourself
- Begin a creative practice, choosing daily, weekly or once a month
- Make something you’ve been wanting make for awhile now
- Sign up for a creative workshop or class
- Add a more elaborate meal to your meal each week to let you be creative
- Develop your intuition by starting a daily oracle pull
- Invite your intuition to speak, then listen and follow it
- Amplify compassion by choosing it over judgement
Something to Muse: Where can I amplify compassion, creativity and intuition this season?
However you choose to work with the energy of this season, let what you notice inform your next steps, and allow the changes you experience to strengthen your resilience.

Pisces Season Lunations

The full moon occurs before the new moon again this season. This means that we get to see the manifestations and meaning before we’ve even planted the seeds. (All times mountain)
🌓 First Quarter Moon in Gemini

🌕 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Virgo
Choose Compassion Over Perfection | 3/3/26 4:37a 13° Virgo
This eclipse is inviting you to choose compassion over perfection.
The tendencies to dip into martyrdom, escapism and obsessive self-criticism are high. But the magic of this eclipse lies in leaning into the energy of allowing healing instead of trying to fix it all.
The ruling energy of Mercury and Jupiter retrogrades will facilitate a review and revision of the ways you’ve been approaching efficientizing your systems and processes. Expect internal revelations at this lunation.
