I'm sure you've seen a theme around here for a bit. And that theme is change and transition, whether I like it or not lol.
And with all this Pisces Energy (Sun, Moon, Mercury Retrograde until 03/20, Mars, & North Node) we're experiencing, I'd be surprised if you weren't experiencing surprises and upsets that trigger necessary change.
Now that we're in the Fire Horse Lunar Year and being fueled by historic placements in Aries (Saturn & Neptune joined by Venus and Chiron), there's no more sitting on the sidelines of our lives. If you refuse to participate, the universe will find ways to move you. We can no longer hide our truths or force ourselves into spaces we don't fit.
This is a time when you will experience some changes seemingly overnight, while you will be asked to commit to those that require your day-to-day consistency to get to where you are meant to be and where you're asking to be.
On Wednesday, March 18th, 2026, at 7:23pm MST, the Moon will renew herself in the dreamy and intuitive sign of Pisces.
The affirmation is: "I believe in the power of my heart, my mind, and my dreams."
Pisces is the culmination of the Zodiac, a beautiful, multi-faceted, swirling chaos of all we are as humans and spiritual beings.
The energy is here to teach us to integrate it all, live in the physical while embodying our true power and ability.
At our truest core, we are limitless beings living in a boundless universe abundant with possibility. And living on Earth can feel anything but.
Enter Pisces energy, full of wonder, whimsy, excitement, with an edge of sometimes scary uncertainty.
Enhanced by the New Moon, just as it's exemplified by The Moon card in the Major Arcana of Tarot, representing secrets, all aspects of our emotions, our depth, and the reflection of it in our personal worlds.
This New Moon and all the surrounding Pisces energy are encouraging you to dive right in without even testing the water's temperature.
Can you put your arms out, trust that you're protected, and fly off that cliff?
If life feels "all over the place" right now, that's totally normal for this energy.
It can feel like you're calmly floating along, and then a surprise wave comes in, and right before it gets to you, all of a sudden, you spot a shark in the wave. You can swim it for a bit, but there's an undertow, coral, and you're pretty sure you just got hit in the head with a turtle shell.
It can feel disorienting and confusing, but you finally come up for air, and it feels so good to be alive. Then the waves calm down, and there's a beautiful sunset in front of you, and life feels precious and worth it again.
You turn around, and the shore is right there; you can easily make it to solid ground. So much so, it now feels like the water is now gently guiding you back to dry land.
Usually, I try to make everything feel cohesive: the affirmation, the spread, the messaging. And this time, I don't know if it does. Not because it's my "last one" (more on that soon), but because the energy required me to fully channel, to allow what needs to materialize to come through, and to trust that all is as it should be.
The kaleidoscope of eclectic-ness of it all is very Piscean!
I know it can all feel overwhelming at times. Remember, you can bend this energy to work for you, and anything that feels outside of your control is for your highest good!
You're right where you're supposed to be, and you will get where you want to go!

When I write these, I return to the same file, so I was reminded that last year, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse opened our first Portal of 2025 on March 14th.
This year, the Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse closes our first Portal of 2026, reaching its zenith on Tuesday, March 3rd, at 4:38 am MST/ 6: 38 am EST.
This Moon is known as the Worm Moon, referring to the entire lunar month. This time marks the thawing of the ground and the first signs of the earthworms waking up and drawing the birds, marking the change of the season. I always read about the traditional names of the moon cycles in The Farmer's Almanac.
Eclipse portals can brew chaos for your highest good. They're here to teach us to expect the unexpected and to trust that it's clearing our path and guiding us to more aligned situations, people, and places, if you can weather the storm.
With such a mix of potential chaos and alignment in the air, the most important thing to do is what feels best for you.
If you're feeling drawn to see the blood moon, you'll make it happen. If you need to sleep, you get that sleep!
The affirmation is, "Perfection is NOT my purpose."
Virgo and Pisces both love self-care; they just have different versions of what that looks like. What matters is what fills your cup.
The combination of the Pisces Sun and the Virgo Moon wants you to focus on authenticity over perfection.
Virgo loves purpose & order, while Pisces is a whimsical free spirit.
Both signs are creative and nurturing, and the balance of their energies can propel you forward in a beautiful, if sometimes messy, way.
And if you're too focused on it being perfect, you could delay or miss your chance to take that step, that chance, that action that has been pulling at your soul!
Allow your head and heart to work together to access the flow that works best for you inside the structure that is most comfortable and aligned for YOU.
Mistakes happen, some things are meant to fail, they can't all be winners, but that's not a reason to quit or give up.
Soothing your perfectionist is about releasing your grip on control, allowing your path to unfold naturally, and giving yourself the grace to continue forward.
And the Total Lunar Eclipse brings what's hiding in the shadows into the light. Or it will bring you into your shadow so you remember how to connect to your light.
However you experience this energy, you will learn something which will support your evolution if you allow it to.
Stay present in your body & allow the flow!

We are already halfway through Pisces season, which started February 18th, heading quickly towards the Pisces New Moon on March 18th, in the last official days of Winter.
And this year, I'm really feeling ALL the water metaphors!
Life can feel like a rollercoaster, since the Eclipse Portal opened on February 17th with the Aquarius New Moon & Fire Horse Lunar New Year, has felt like one of those "white water rapids" type rides, where they feel more unpredictable, and everyone gets a different variation of wet.
Most people get a normal splash experience; somehow, there's always someone who barely gets splashed at all, and there's usually one person who gets the seat that seems to get hit with every wave.
According to Western Astrology, the Sun is in the Sign of Pisces from around February 18 - March 20, give or take a day, depending on the year.
Pisces is the 12th and last sign of the Zodiac calendar and our mutable water sign, as it aligns with the last month of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. And the last month of Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
It is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams and creativity, and symbolized by two fish tied together by their tails.
Individuals with Piscean placements tend to possess inherent creativity, compassion, and a willingness to participate in life.
Their shadow can be just as strong, manifesting as unpredictable, a bit of a downer, and sometimes manipulative.
They are the only dual water sign, so balancing their light & shadow is essential.
Because they are the last and oldest sign on the wheel, they tend to have traits of all the signs and can get along with just about anyone when they're living in their light.
Pisces is the one sign I've seen be romantically compatible with almost any other sun sign; the details in the natal chart are vital.
Pisces is aligned with the Moon card because of the strong connection to intuition and the unseen realms.
Even if Pisces isn't deliberately connecting to the spirit world, they will connect to it through their relationships with others and animals, or through an artistic passion that allows them to access their flow.
Pisces Season supports us to connect to our heart and soul's wildest dreams and deepest desires.
I know this can feel frivolous during such difficult times, but Pisces energy is literally giving you permission to take a dip into the dreamy waters, relax, release, and allow. You will emerge refreshed and ready to take on anything!
I hope you're able to keep your head above water and, despite all the challenges, you don't feel like you're drowning.
During times like this, it's essential to stay open to being flexible, adaptable, and to 'just keep swimming!'
LAND HO!
Until then, I made you a new Pisces Season Spread to help you dive into the healing waters.

I warned you I was going to use ALL THE WATER METAPHORS 😉

This Eclipse Portal sure brought some surprises!

02/18/2026

The New Moon took place in Aquarius just after 5 a.m. MST this morning, Tuesday, February 17th, 2026.
And it's a Solar Eclipse this year, which amps up all the energy.
The New Moon in Aquarius always ushers in the Lunar New Year, and moving from a Wood Snake year to a Fire Horse year will be anything but quiet or demure.
The energy is here to show us that it's not always the challenges themselves that define us, but how we approach and overcome them.
The Snake year helped us shed and clear the path for the Fire Horse to carry us forward to where we need to go.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius Affirmation: "I know that being my authentic self supports others in being their authentic selves."
I gotta be honest, it was more challenging than usual to tap into the collective energy and what is needed, especially to boil it down to one sentence and three questions.
Aquarius energy is so interesting because it supports us in being our individual selves while showing us that we're all connected and how important community is.
This mixed bag of current energy, which will continue through the year, is teaching us how to use our intuitive discernment to know when we have the power to take action and when we need to step back to wait for the most aligned answer to present itself.
Modern grind culture teaches us to "power through," meaning to force forward even at our own detriment.

And yes, there are times when we need to exert our free will into action, but we have seen that burning up that energy is not sustainable.
In my experience, forcing things and events to take place and ignoring the signs to stop, does not work out for the best 9 out of 10 times.
I've seen so many souls, myself included, over the last couple of years being taught patience all the time, especially not to keep forcing things when there are clear signs to stop, slow down, and wait.
Can you think of a time in your life when you forced something forward and just ended up disappointed in the end?
You may be wondering, "What does this have to do with being my authentic self?"
So much: it's all about being connected to your intuitive self and making choices that are best for you, NOT what the world and society at large say is best for you.
I know life is chaotic right now, and we're experiencing so much upheaval. At the same time, we are learning so much about ourselves, each other, and how we've been moving in the world as a society.
Yes, there's great oppression and unrest, AND there's more people in therapy than ever before.
Yes, we are seeing how truly dark parts of our world are, but the light is shining brightly on them, so they can't hide anymore.
It can feel like people are more consciously ignorant than ever, but I've seen more and more people waking up to their gifts, powers, and purposes.
The upheaval is necessary for true change for the better to happen.
And we need people like you, who are awake to what's happening and awakening to who they truly are, to be courageous and openly embody your authenticity for your benefit and the benefit of all.
Simply shining your light in the world has a positive ripple effect beyond your knowing. Sharing a smile or a kind word with a stranger or service worker can make a huge impact.
You are so needed!
Take the best care of yourself so you can be your best out in the world!
And here's a spread to support you in this present moment.
Slide 1: "New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius Affirmation:" On a purple crystal ball with 2026 on the base in white text, "I know that being my authentic self supports others in being their authentic selves." The background is a picture of purple and blue electric outer space. watermark

Lately, it can feel like the world gets scarier and more dangerous every day. When we think things can't get any worse, another tragedy rocks us.
I understand how it can feel so defeating and hopeless right now. And it's totally okay to feel like you're struggling right now.
I am sending you so much love and healing!
History moves slowly when you're living it.
And we are on the precipice of once-in-a-lifetime astrological transitions that we haven't seen since the American Civil War, among other historic revolutions, with Saturn and Neptune moving into Aries.
On Sunday, February 1st, 2026, the Moon will be full in the confident sign of Leo at 3:09 pm MST/ 5:09 pm EST.
The affirmation is momentous but straightforward: "I am capable."
Not only is the Sun in change-making Aquarius, but also Mars, Venus, Mercury, and Pluto.
This energy allows you to be your most authentic self, no matter how weird society at large thinks you are. And if something isn't working for you, it's time to try something new, change things up, and stretch your comfort zone.
We are living not only during an evolution of human society but also during a revolution; a sudden, radical, or complete change.
And with so many causes that need defending, it can be confusing and overwhelming to know where and how you can direct your energy.
Even though I believe that this is all leading us to a better future, it doesn't mean that we should sit back and ignore what is happening.
There's a certain level of pressure from social media that tells us if our activism isn't loud, then it's not making a difference, and that's just not true.
Our activism has to be sustainable, which means learning and honoring that we all have different skills and energies to offer, and that we all have our place.
Every movement needs organizers and volunteers to do paperwork, outreach, and general office organization and cleaning if they have a physical office or HQ..
And the resistance to fascism happens quietly and in the community just as much as it does loudly and in the streets. It's two sides to the same coin.
Much like the quiet authority of the Aquarius Sun and the boisterous leadership of Leo. Aquarius is our humanitarian, and Leo is our fierce defender; both are needed for a sustainable and progressive society.
Both have their place and are of equal value.
Resistance to the fear-mongering can be as simple as living loud and proud. And depending on where you are, that is not nearly as simple as it sounds.
It can mean connecting with your community. Where are your people? Do you know who your community is? Who are your friends? Do you have a hobby you do with others? Are you in a band, or do you see a particular band live a lot?
It may be time to find a community. That's one of the bonuses of social media and the internet: there are so many easy-to-find communities with a bit of research. What are your interests? Maybe you're the one who's meant to start a group!
Remember, the evils at play want you exhausted, confused, and numb, so you can't fight their oppressive tactics. They also want us separated from our communities so we can't rise up.
Don't play into the fear. Return to your supportive practices that ground and re-center you, and then you can continue on.
Aquarius energy allows us to consider the collective and our communities, while Leo energy knows how to prioritize advocating for the self and our nearest and dearest.
The saying is true: Change starts with you. And that can mean taking a step back, recharging, nurturing, and then returning to the path.
REMEMBER! You are so needed on this epic quest!
So, I made you a spread to empower you to continue moving forward!

Aquarius Season in Western Astrology is January 19th - February 18th this year.
Aquarius is the water bearer, often mistaken as a water sign; it is our Fixed Air sign, as it occurs mid-winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
On top of being the humanitarian and philosopher, Aquarius is considered the Alien of the Zodiac. More than any other sign, Aquarians march to the beat of their own drum.
As the "most evolved" Air sign, they are carriers of emotion. They have the ability to hold space for emotion and communicate it palpably. The shadow of Aquarius can be distant and jaded.
They are the epitome of "tough but fair. " And they have things to teach the world if we listen.
Aquarius is aligned with The Star card in the Tarot. The energy of our cosmic and soul purposes in this life.
It comes up when you need to refresh your sense of purpose and remember why life is worth living. It also reminds us that connecting with other souls is as important as connecting with our individual paths.
Everything has a ripple effect.
Traditionally ruled by Saturn, the planet of long-term goals, discipline, responsibility, structure, and karma.
It's modern ruler, Uranus, the planet of innovation, surprises, rebellion, and freedom.
Aquarius rules the 11th house, which governs friendships, groups, communities, long-term goals, hopes, and dreams, representing our connection to the collective and the future.
Aquarius energy supports us in thinking outside the box, looking at the world from different perspectives, and being open to nontraditional and creative solutions.
Remember, we are still at the beginning of our 19-year journey with Pluto in Aquarius. Our hearts, minds, and world will be exposed and expanded in ways we've never imagined.
During this time, it's favorable to honor your quirks, be your weirdest, unique self, and let your freak flag fly, safely, of course.
Keeping an open mind benefits you. When something isn't working for you, try something totally different. It doesn't matter if "That's not how that's done" or "No one else does it like that"; if it works for you, work it!
Last but not least, I made a spread to help you embody the best parts of Aquarius.
ID: Slide 1: The background picture is a cosmic deep space sky mixed with purples, magentas, and periwinkle. Across the top in white Cursive with a purple outline and shadow is "Aquarius Season."

The Capricorn Moon was New yesterday, January 18th, 2026, at 12:51 pm MST/ 2:52 pm EST.
The Affirmation is: "I use my time, money, and energy in ways that support my sustained health, aligned goals, and highest good."
I realized we never had a Capricorn New Moon in 2025; the last one was right at the end of 2024.
Even though the energy still carried into 2025, the Capricorn energy feels more grounded into 2026. And we'll need all the grounding we can get this year!
The thing about universal and spiritual energy is that it's not easily contained; you can't really box it in. Life is a series of Venn diagrams; one thing affects another, and so on. For example, I disagree with many modern astrologists; cusps DO exist.
So, much of the different energies we experience roll into the next energy. We needed the fiery focus of Sagittarius Season to support the determination of Capricorn Season.
We needed the Snake year to shed us of extra unnecessary weight so that the energy of the Horse year can take us where we need to go.
We needed the 9-year (2+0+2+5) to help elevate us to the new level of the 10/1-year (2+0+2+6).
We need the grounding and boundaries of this Capricorn New Moon to help us navigate Aquarius Season, which officially starts today. I'll send you more info about that in the very near future.
Modern society will continue to demand every bit of your time, money, and energy.
And you are more than capable of not giving it out to those who don’t deserve it.
It's YOUR energy to use how YOU need to!
Capricorn and Aquarius energy rarely gives in to outside pressure.
Channel and embody that mindset for yourself; only you know what you need to feel healthy, wealthy, and aligned. And no one is going to do those things for you.
It is so imperative that you use the current season to your advantage right now because once this time is gone, it's gone.
And with everything that could be in store for all of us this year, individually and collectively, you will need this time to ensure you are ready for anything that comes your way.
Rest, relax, enjoy, purge, organize, release, and tighten up where and when needed.
Take time to get quiet and look within, that's where your answers are.
You are capable, resilient, and more than worthy!
I made you a simple yet supportive tarot and/or oracle card spread for this energy! If you have both Tarot & Oracle, see what comes up if you pull one of each for each question.

It's Officially Capricorn Season!
You still have time to tap into the energy of the Sag New Moon; it will put a bit of a fiery lens on this Capricorn Season.
On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, Venus moves into Capricorn, so this energy is gassing you up to pursue what lights you up and drives your passion.
Both Sag and Cap are known for their determination; that's why this year it is vital for you to be extra discerning about where you invest your energy, because once you make a choice, it's on!
According to Western Astrology, Capricorn Season in the Northern Hemisphere always coincides with the Winter Solstice and the official beginning of Winter.
It takes place when the Sun is in Capricorn from December 21, 2025, until January 19, 2026.
Capricorn is our Cardinal Earth sign. Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) align with the onset of natural seasons, so they tend to be go-getters, self-starters, and leaders.
And if you know a Capricorn, they are most likely a boss, very independent, and they get s**t done.
Capricorn is represented by the Sea Goat; they are grounded yet adaptable. Their ruling planet is Saturn, making them practical and have follow-through, but p**s them off, and they can read you to filth.
Their energy aligns with The Devil in the Tarot, meaning they can play just as hard as they work and must be aware of their vices so they aren't ruled by them.
Capricorn is ruled by the 10th house, representing career path, professional goals, rules, authority, achievements, social status, and public image.
You may witness or choose to explore one or more of these themes during Capricorn Season. It makes sense why Capricorn Season would align with the New Year of the Gregorian Calendar.
Instead of focusing just on the turn of the New Year for the time to make any intentions, resolutions, or goals for 2026, expand your view to the whole of Winter as a three-month process of cultivating, revising, and dedicating to yourself and your aspirations.
And if you need extra support through these transitions, Book a Reading with Me!

Today is the Winter Solstice, the beginning of Capricorn Season and Yule!
And with that Sag New Moon on the 19th, there's so much energy for activities! It's up to you to make sure you're consciously choosing what is worth your energy.
This is also a prime time to practice your boundaries! During the holidays, we sometimes can't say no or yes to everything we want to. So, when you're going somewhere or have to be around people who can drain you, it's extra important to protect your energy.
The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year and is celebrated by honoring "The Return of the Light," the beginning of longer daylight hours. And it's official, Winter!
And it aligns with Yule, the Pagan Sabbat honoring the Winter Solstice. Yule ends on January 1st, and many of the traditions are the reasons we celebrate modern Christmas: evergreens, feasts, gift-giving, yule logs, and even Santa is the god Odin.
And honestly, the pagan connections help me enjoy traditional Christmas even more. I'd like to think that Jesus would be cool with it, too.
One of my favorite local Yule traditions is Drumming up the Sun at Red Rocks. It's grown so much over the years!
If you're looking for more pagan ways to celebrate the season, that's a great one. Yes, you have to be there before sunrise, but usually the weather is mild, and the company is vibing!
It's totally worth it, even if you go just once. People who know me well can't believe that I get up so early to go; that's how worth it it is.
Winter is a natural cycle, and we're remembering that it is natural for us, as humans, to live more in tune with these cycles.
So, be sure to allow yourself the rest and relaxation that are inherently part of winter and your wellness!
