Makeover magic or identity crisis? On Tuesday, February 5, expressive Mercury sails into Pisces, forming a bizarre trifecta with aggro Mars and your ruling planet, dreamy Neptune. This is going to be one surreal week for you, Fish, so brace yourself for some tidal waves. One moment Mars pumps you up with spicy confidence as you boldly assert your ideas and fearlessly challenge people on theirs. The next moment, Neptune serves you a guilt trip and youre hugging thy enemy, apologizing for making him feel bad. If people find you, er, confusing, you really cant blame them a bit. Its important to do the checks and balances before you put yourself out there. Youre a sensitive soul, after all, and peoples criticism can cut you to the core. Before you go into battle, make sure its really worth the fight. Unless you really feel like carrying the issue through to the end, dont even bother opening the can of worms. At the end of the day, most Pisces would prefer to make love, not war. You need an outlet to fly your freak flag, no doubt about thatbut get comfortable doing so with supportive people first. And remember that theres a time and a place for everything. As a mutable sign, you have the planets permission to be a shape shifter (some of you even live a double life). You dont have to rock the same look 24/7 in order to be true to yourselfor should we say, selves, Pisces. Embrace the multidimensionality of the human experience instead of trying on a one-size-fits-all MO this week. Break out the canvas, set up the sewing machine or recording equipment, write poetry in a French cafe. The Mercury-Mars-Neptune trio gets your passions into action. Stop procrastinating when it comes to your creativity. If you need a boost, tuck into Julia Camerons classic, The Artists Way. On Sunday the 10th, the new moon in Aquarius and your twelfth house of completions helps you release an outmoded part of your life. This new moon is a detoxifier: from the food you eat to the conversations you ingest, what is causing you more harm than good? It can be tough to let go of our vices, especially for Pisces who likes to live on the edge. So pick one this weekend and take it on. Maybe you eliminate sugar from your diet for thirty days to see how your health improves or declare seven days of no complaining. Your subconscious mind is highly activated under this lunar spell. Organize a vision-boarding party for the weekend and let those pictures say a thousand words about the year you want to create. Where you struggle in life, this new moon says, Get a mentor! If money burns a hold in your pocket, work with a financial coach; if that gym equipment confounds you, get a trainer. Everything becomes easy when you enlist a pro to teach you the steps and show you the light.

General Characteristics of Pisces

Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. A part of you is always trying to "swim away" or escape reality. The other part is so intuitive that you get swept up in everything going on. Your imagination is the perfect hideout when you want to escape, since Pisces is so creative. You love dancing (Pisces rules the feet), movies, poetry, and music. Your moods are mysterious and your dreams are intense. Every Pisces should have a journal by your bed, since some your best ideas will come in your sleep. Although you can feel helpless, you're much stronger than you think. The best way for Pisces to experience your own strength is to help people in need. You have great compassion and incredible healing powers. Because it's easy for people to make you feel guilty, Pisces should watch out for friends who use you, or make you doubt yourself. Surround yourself with good-hearted friends who have their acts together. Many people born under your sign have a "tortured soul" quality. Finding a tranquil spiritual outlet, or spending time alone, can help you get re-centered in your own power.
