With four planets—Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus along with the Sun—in aqueous Pisces for the last week-plus, it’s as if we’ve been swimming in the ineffable. As we’ve been floating in an ocean of emotion, it’s likely that it’s been difficult to pinpoint, name, and understand just what we have been feeling and connecting to since—at times—it may feel so vast and boundless. It’s as if we know something, we sense something—yet accessing it to be able to share (whether with others, or even just with our conscious mind) may be a whole other story.

Yet, that may change a bit today as the planet of communication, Mercury, joins these other planets in Pisces. This can create an experience-understanding resonance; we are able to tune into what we are perceiving in a way that allows us greater access to understanding and expressing our experiences.

That being said, with all this Piscean energy it’s important that while we feel connected to a heartfelt still of compassion that we stay grounded in our bodies and minds, lest we feel pulled in by an undertow of emotions that upends a semblance of sure footing. A gentle walk, going barefoot on the Earth, or massaging our feet for a few minutes are helpful Rx’s for our soles that can help us more consciously stay in body and soul.

Keeping the peace may seem as if it has moved itself to the top of the “to-do” list today. We’re pulled towards trying to avoid the generation or continuation of discord, as conflict today—of all days—seems quite unseemly. Yet, while our ideals may be stellar, it’s worthwhile to double-check our (or others’) motivations to ensure that there’s no hidden agenda present. Even if the deeper reasons seem well-intentioned, it’s really important to be clear and know the place from which we, or others, are acting. If we’re motivated to weave the day with “make/play nice” energy because we believe it will help others avoid discomfort, it’s worth remembering that a lack of conflict doesn’t always equal the alleviation of suffering.

What Twitter tag would I elect as one that well captures the energy of today? If I could only choose one, #Shedidwhat? would get my vote.

That’s because this run-on three-word questioning quip nicely expresses the influence of the day’s Venus/Uranus conjunction. When this planetary pair gets together, we get an influx of expect-the-unexpected when it comes to relationships, romance, and women (and the anima residing within men). Consequently, if you’ve been desiring to try something new on for size—whether it be a different lipstick, tie style, or seduction technique—today (as well as tomorrow) may be the day/s you’ve been waiting for.

Add to this that the Libra Moon trines idealistic Neptune and squares masculine Mars, and it further bolsters the elevation of relationships, beauty, and sexuality to the forefront of our minds (and/or our Twitter tweets and tags).

If we’ve been holding onto something—words to share with another, pent-up tears, possessions that truly no longer hold any real value—today is a good day for their release. Making space in our minds and/or hearts will yield a greater opportunity to recognize others’ seemingly simple words as the true pearls of wisdom that they are.

Diving deep within our hearts today will allow us to see a situation a little bit differently than we had previously perceived.  An intense desire to bask in a feeling of love may leave us disillusioned; yet, if we adopt a perspective that marries a realistic approach with a “you never know how this may work out” open-mindedness, we may set the course for a journey that will yield more self-insight and understanding.

Today, we should consider saying “Yes” a few more times than usual. That’s not to say that a blanket affirmative should be on tap; after all, discernment still needs to be maintained lest we find ourselves committed to things that pull us too far off course. Yet, a few more “Yes”s judiciously scattered throughout the day may award us with valuable opportunities and enriching experiences.

With all the Piscean energy we’ve been floating in, things may seem a bit dreamy, with a sense of sprite, let alone gumption, potentially challenging to access. But today with Venus moving into the fiery, self-assertive sign of Aries, that may change a bit.

As we find a sense of initiative easier to access, we can use this Venusian energy to express our pinings and proclivities, spicing things up a bit. In addition to spicy, things may also get a little steamy as Venus—the planet of love—is aligning harmoniously with Mars—the planet of desires. And, with expands-all-it-touches Jupiter conjunct communicative Mercury, understanding and expressing our thoughts on what may satisfy our wistful longings may be more readily accessible.

Today’s Pisces/Virgo Full Moon illuminates:

• The bridging of the physical and soulful
• The compassion that can flow from our hearts as we engage in our day-to-day activities
• The ideal of selfless service

For more Virgoan details on this Piscean-inspired Full Moon, see this post.

The light is bright as we approach tomorrow’s Full Moon. Not only is it luminescent in the night sky but our hearts may also feel kindled by a flowing sense of compassion to which we are connecting.

Additionally, with Mercury conjunct Neptune, the barriers between our conscious and unconscious mind may seem thinner with the walls between waking and dreaming life replaced by gossamer porosity that allows for a greater sense of osmosis between the two. This diffusion can either make us feel a bit spacey, or we can use it to tap into a greater sense of knowingness, one that allows us to pierce the veils that separate the seen from the usually unseen.

Today is a day to shine.

And as we do, it’s important to remember that it’s not only our inherent right to radiate our essence, but, on some level, our obligation. It’s a responsibility that we not only have to ourselves—to keep our vital essence (prana) flowing—but to others. After all, we each have distinctive gifts—facets of our selves—that by being shared with others can illuminate and grace their lives. And if we hold that back, not only are we doing injustice to ourselves but to those around us as well.

When we want to nurture ourselves, we oftentimes turn to the same things—whether they be foods, activities, or people—to help us gain a deep “feel good” sense. Today, if it feels right, consider changing things up. Instead of going to your favorite go-to to give yourself a sense of internal security and calm, try something new. Doing so will likely give you a broader sense of understanding as to what you truly need to honor your heart.

When the Moon’s in Cancer, like it is today, it’s especially productive to tune into your gut feelings so as to further clarify your needs and desires.

When writing this post, a gut feeling overcame me. And that was to share a special quote by Richard Bach as a way to reflect some of today’s energies with the Cancer Moon trine the Pisces Sun, Jupiter, and Venus. Enjoy!

 “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.” – Richard Bach

If the first part of the day seems a bit chaotic, remember the adage: “This too shall pass.” The latter hours may inspire a nostalgic sense and experiences that trigger a sense of “coming-home” within.

If you’re feeling a little anxious today, or sensing that an extra dose of grounding may be helpful, try some pranayama exercises.

Pranayama refers to yogic breathing practices. Prana is the Sanskrit word for breath (as well as life force) while ayama means restraint. During pranayama you channel the breath in a way that allows you to control, direct, and oftentimes momentarily suspend it.

If you don’t have a favorite breathing exercise, two simple ones to try include Bee Breath and Alternate Nostril Breath (also known as Channel Cleaning Breath).
