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.

If you need space in your ~love life~ this month, take it. Just don’t let communication suffer as a result, especially as messenger Mercury transits ever-candid Libra and lights up your intimacy sector. You can make connections in high places while Venus is in Sagittarius around the 18th, if you can keep confident. Though, that might prove difficult with the full moon in Aries, which prompts insecurity and sensitivity, as well as the ending of a second job or side gig. But don’t worry! The mood of the month shifts as the Sun, Mercury and a new moon shifts into Scorpio, who offers opportunities for expansion and new experiences. Utilize these good vibes by learning, sharing, writing, or speaking up. And as the 30th rolls around, consider making travel plans, or take on a new class– anything that expands your horizons will benefit you right now.

Your Trax: You might be feeling extra sensitive about what others think about you, and you could use some confidence boosters this month! Obviously, a Spice World recommendation seems to be in order. Then, there’s always this classic by Sleigh Bells. If you need something that feels just as good, but sounds a little more low-key, Chastity Belt’s 2015 album Time to Go Home should work.
