Pisces

Pisces (Ruling Planet: Neptune; Element: Water) Your head is in the clouds, Pisces, and you have a grand imagination. But this way of thinking can often delve into escapist territory, and you have no problem deluding yourself to avoid harsh realities. You can be a pessimist who blames things on bad luck. And like any other water sign, you’re sensitive. But The Fishes in particular are intuitive to others’ feelings, and, although you often feel misunderstood by most, you have the ability to understand many people from all different walks of life.

Mercury and Venus enter Aquarius mid-month; communication is so important for you during this time. These planets in the air sign will cause your creative energy to surge, but you might just want to *fade to black* in February. It’s fine to take some time to yourself, but you need to keep the lines of communication open, especially as a full moon in Aquarius on the 8th will only keep you behind the scenes. But when by the time the Sun enters Pisces on the 20th, you’ll feel more up to quietly but confidently taking what you want and pioneering new projects. The full moon in Virgo, your opposite in the Zodiac, may have you feeling particularly romantic by way of wanting commitment and connection with a ~special someone~.

Your February Trax:

Noisey, angsty music seems to be in your cards, this month. Naturally, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me feels like a natural choice. If you just can’t do Brand New this month, Dreamers Asleep at the Wheel, an album by The Ambulars, has a similar pop punk sound, without the stigma. Pop punk ain’t your thing? Sore by Toronto natives Dilly Dally is all punk, and all the angsty noise you could ask for.
