Virgo | Pisces Season 2026
The Universal Overlay
Pisces Season | February 18 - March 20
A dissolution arrives—gentle, inevitable, like ice becoming water becoming mist. After Aquarius's electric revolution, we surrender the fight entirely. Winter approaches its end, and with it comes a strange exhaustion, a beautiful unraveling. Pisces Season dissolves the boundaries between self and other, dreaming and waking, matter and spirit. What if nothing is separate? What if it's all one vast ocean? This is the season of dissolution and compassion, where we release our grip on everything we've been holding—the identity, the story, the year itself—and float in the cosmic waters that connect all things.The energy shifts from revolutionary to receptive. Where Aquarius detached to see patterns, Pisces merges until there are no patterns, no distinctions, only feeling. There's a mystical quality here, porous and permeable, that makes everything more tender. We move from the collective mind to the collective heart, from future visions to timeless presence. Pisces doesn't innovate or analyze—it absorbs, empathizes, becomes. We're no longer conduits for change; we become vessels for whatever wants to move through us, whether that's grief, ecstasy, or divine revelation.This season asks us to release everything the year has made of us. If the previous months built us into someone—more balanced, transformed, wise, disciplined, awakened—winter's final act whispers: Who are you when you let all of that go? What remains when nothing remains? The demand becomes paradoxical: be nobody, feel everything, surrender completely. Pisces sees through the illusion of separateness and recognizes that your pain is my pain, your joy is my joy, your story is our story. This can feel overwhelming, like drowning, yet it's truly grace. The mystic doesn't transcend suffering; they hold space for all of it, the beauty and the unbearable alike.As winter releases its hold and spring whispers at the edges, those who live between worlds feel suddenly at home. The pressure to be coherent, boundaried, productive—all of it melts away like the last snow. Those who need definition may feel lost in Pisces's fog, unmoored by its refusal to distinguish between imagination and reality, between self-care and self-sacrifice. Where do you fall? Perhaps you're learning that strength sometimes looks like softness, that endings are just dissolutions into new beginnings. Pisces doesn't offer clarity—it offers the holy confusion of not knowing where you end and the universe begins.Surrender to the drift. Let yourself be moved by beauty, by sorrow, by the unnamed longing that lives at the edges of everything. Practice radical compassion—for yourself, for strangers, for the wounded world. Create art, music, poetry; let something move through you without needing to understand it. Honor your need to escape, to dream, to dissolve—it's not weakness, it's permeability to the sacred. Forgive what you can, release what you cannot. Most of all, trust the season's holy dissolution. Its wisdom isn't linear—it's oceanic. What you release now becomes the compost for spring's rebirth. The astrological year is ending. Let it. Let yourself end too, so something new can be born from the depths.

How to Read Your Horoscopes
Each season tells a story through layers of unfolding.
The Sun illuminates one area of your life while Earth grounds the opposite—creating an axis of reach and depth, like a theme in a great story. Together, they set the stage for your season's narrative.
The ruling planet acts as the protagonist, showing where the story comes alive. Its position reveals the specific scene playing out within your season's larger theme.
Your yearly seed—planted at your sign's new moon—moves through its own season of maturity, creating an anchor point you can push against for growth.
And finally, the season's light casts you in a particular role, shaping how others perceive and call upon your natural gifts—a side note to your main journey, but worth noticing.
Together, these layers form the living theater of your season.
Virgo: The Partner Dissolves Into Connection
Pisces Season illuminates your 7th house of committed partnership and meaningful cooperation—but this isn't strategic relating. Pisces brings ethereal partnership, the kind of connection that asks you to feel your way forward rather than figure it out, where real commitment means trusting what you can't fully understand about another person. Yet Virgo Earth anchors you through your 1st house of personal identity and embodied selfhood. You're discovering that true partnership requires you to stay completely yourself, that the most transcendent relationships are the ones where you don't lose your clarity in the merger but bring your grounded presence to the mystery. Think of The Shape of Water—Elisa unable to speak, falling in love with a creature no one else sees as worthy. Their partnership works not because she abandons her careful routines but because she brings her precise, devoted self to something utterly inexplicable. Love deepens when you can be both practical and willing to believe in magic.
Jupiter in your Cancer 11th house sets the scene as one of emotional expansion through community. Like Elisa's friends—Giles, Zelda—forming an unlikely chosen family to help her save the creature, each bringing their gifts to something larger than themselves—you're learning that partnership expands when it's witnessed by people who care. Jupiter asks: What if the scene requires you to let your relationship be held by community? What if intimacy grows not through privacy but through letting others see you caring deeply?
Your Seed's Season of Maturity
Your yearly seed has reached its summer solstice—a time when growth deepens and finds emotional stability. Just as the 7th house asks you to trust others and cooperate, your seed has you anchored in sure ground and mature rootedness. The tension creates torque: your inner development craves private foundation and emotional security precisely as you're being asked to open yourself and extend trust into mysterious territory. Push against this anchor—let the grounding you've found in yourself give you confidence to surrender into partnership, to recognize intuitive resonance because you know your own foundation so clearly.
A note on how you're cast: Pisces Season sees your Virgo nature through its own 7th house lens—as the partner, the one who understands how to balance discernment with devotion. You're being cast as a mirror right now; you're being seen for your natural ability to cooperate with precision and care. Let yourself be a reflection. This is both your work and your gift this season.

Your Archetypal Journey | The Trickster
Mercury in Pisces (7th Houses)
The planet that rules your sign gives you an archetype—a leading character flavor. This planet is a central part of how you show up and your personal, ongoing agenda. We go on journeys in the skin of our archetypes, like leading characters in books and films. Your ruler, Mercury, is the Craftsman, the Alchemist, the Problem-Solver, and the Sacred Scribe.
While the planet ruling the season may be on the main stage, it only takes center stage for the duration of the season. In contrast, your ruling planet is always active for you, even if as a subplot or a supporting character during a season. I like to track your planet’s journey, much like a hero/heroine’s journey unfolds, by observing its synodic period in relation to Earth.
