There’s been a lot shifting around over the past month as you prepare to initiate something totally new. As the sun enters your sign, things that once felt outside of your reach are closer.

You’ll also be attracting more positive attention.

Pisces season has been a very social time for you. You’re making powerful connections and collaborating with heavy hitters as your planetary ruler Venus connects with intense Pluto. You have no time for anything superficial or shady, and if something seems to be suspicious, you can always ask for another opinion. There are people who act totally different when they know they’re being recorded or watched. After all of this socializing, it’s time to lay low and let go of the reigns for a bit. The beginning of spring is a time to rest and recalibrate as you consider how you want the rest of 2021 to look. With Venus in a very secretive part of your chart, you’re exploring hidden desires. Mystery is attractive.

You’ve been hitting your mark with precision, and you have a lot of steam to blow. Now that your planetary ruler, Mercury, enters Pisces, you’re going to have maybe too many different directions.

It’s been fun, but now it’s time to get back to business. As spring begins, your winter hibernation is over, and you’re getting things in gear to take better care of your health and chores as the sun and Venus enter your house of routine. It’s a lot easier to start something than it is to quit, so be mindful of how you use your time and direct your attention to things that are more valuable. You’re still thinking a lot about sex and parties, with Mercury in your chart’s house of pleasure, and it’s creating a lot of mental restlessness and feelings of instability in relationships as Mercury connects with Uranus.
