Sink or Swim?

Action planet Mars has been swimming the backstroke through tender, watery Cancer since December 6, 2024. Have you noticed people acting "crabby" or sluggish—impatient checkout lines, slowpoke drivers in the left lane, or missed deadlines? Maybe you’ve felt unmotivated yourself?

Mars retrograde slows forward momentum, offering a chance to reflect on our actions and reassess our goals. With a cluster of four planets in fellow water sign Pisces, now is the time to ask: Are my efforts aligned with my values and beliefs? The cosmos reminds us—we are human beings, not human doings.

Last night, Neptune met the North Node at 28 degrees Pisces, completing an 891-year cycle. This rare and karmic connection, occurring near the omega degree of the zodiac, urges you to align with your beliefs, consider the collective, and connect your heart with your head in this era of profound change.

Did you have intense dreams last night? Pay attention! Your subconscious may be sending you messages. Prophetic dreams could continue for the next few days—keep a journal by your bedside to capture insights before they slip away.

Tonight, Mars stations direct. Over the next week, the sloshing sensation of so much watery energy will finally begin to settle. Now is the time to center yourself, reaffirm your values, and set your intentions on the Pisces new moon February 27th —because soon, the planetary tide will turn toward action-oriented air and fire.

Are you ready to ride the next wave?
