Fishing for a Healthier You

Your New Lustorascope Is Here!

As we swim into Pisces season, there are some exciting changes just around the river bend. First off, we’ve got a major event coming up in the grand cosmic ballet: A blood moon lunar eclipse on March 13. Eclipses are times when the separation between the past and the future is at its flimsiest and more or less see-through, kinda like an old pair of underwear. And also like an old pair of underwear, eclipses invite a startling amount of self reflection. They ask us to look at who we were in the past to determine who we want to be in the future. This particular blood moon lunar eclipse is happening on Virgo’s watch, so it’s most def going to be giving purity vibes. Which is all a long way of saying it’s detox time! Whatever the healthiest version of you looks like, that’s your current destination, so go ahead and type it into your personal GPS!

Let’s talk retrogrades: Mars is almost done with its retrograde which means you’re about to snap out of your winter slump. However, Venus and Mercury are currently winding up their backswing for some March reversals, which means that love and communication are about to get funky at the same time. So, um, good luck with that?

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Hurry Up and Wait, Aries

Y’know that secret project you’ve been working on, Aries? Yeah, it’s not going to be ready any time soon. As a matter of fact, you’ll probably want to tack on an extra review session due to Mercury going all retrograde on you. With messaging going haywire, it’s better to sit on your ideas for now to avoid putting them out into the world and being met with an avalanche of “Um, actually” replies infiltrating your inbox. Measure twice and cut once. Wait, no. Measure three or four times and then don’t cut at all yet. Like, hide the scissors. The metaphor scissors. The time to cut will come, just not anytime soon. Be patient!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Work It, Taurus

As you’re trying to figure out your next career move, the blood moon lunar eclipse is coming to make things crystal clear. You’ve been stuck in a rut for a little while now, but get ready for the path to success to finally become illuminated. Helping you along the way will be the retrograde journey of your #1 planet Venus—as is so frequently the case with retrogrades, you’ll find it suddenly so much easier to look within yourself for all the answers and inspiration you seek. A little bit of rest couldn’t hurt either, whether it’s a long winter’s nap or just a smidge of extra beauty sleep wherever you can cram it in. After all, when your new professional life kicks into gear, you’ll want to be bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and have the smooth, glowy skin of Jennifer Garner in those credit card commercials!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Big Changes for Gemini

Got a big project at work? Make sure you hit go on it before Venus and Mercury turn retrograde—the new moon on Feb. 27 is as good a time as any, so mark your calendar! Once those aforementioned retrogrades are underway (within the first weeks of March), get ready to shuffle the deck of your dreams, desires, and social circle. New guest stars are about to take the stage of your life and it’s up to you whether they get added to the regular cast. The decision is a tricky one, and communicating your choices will be harder than usual (thanks a bundle for that one, Mercury), but luckily, the clarity gifted to you by the blood moon lunar eclipse will make it easy-peasy.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Take What’s Yours, Cancer

You’re usually the passive type but when Mars goes direct in your sign on Feb. 23, you can expect it to kindle a fire inside of you and for it to grow into a raging inferno! You’ll be ready to demand your fair share at work as well as in the bedroom. Everyone within your inner circle will have one word on their lips and that word will be “yowza.” Before you invest in a witchy new wardrobe, do know that the flame inside of you is far from eternal as evidenced by the upcoming effects of the Venus and Mercury retrogrades. While your new desires won’t be completely snuffed out, the slowdown will encourage your introspection and lead you to ponder big questions. Does your current career and relationship truly serve you? Time to find out!

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You’re a Wizard, Leo

That Mars retrograde really did a number on you these past couple months! While most of the changes you’ve experienced have been internal, expect for them to become more apparent when you look in the mirror from here on out. It is Pisces season, you know, and Pisces is often regarded as “the shapeshifter.” A physical transformation is headed your way, and with it, some transformed desires. The new moon on Feb. 27 will imbue you with a fascination for and a deep belief in the mystical side of things. And you know what? You might be on to something! Your magical energy boost will reel in a special someone in early March, and we’re not talking about a rabbit in a hat…

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Grab Your Partner, Virgo

This Pisces season is going to be one of partnership for you, whether that means pairing up with your main squeeze, a family member, or a co-worker, that’s up to you. That’s not to say you’re falling behind or in crisis mode, it’s just a happy reminder that teamwork truly makes the dream work. Oh my god, did we just invent that saying? We didn’t? Oh well. Keep in mind that your special connection to Mercury will have you taking a swerve down memory lane once it goes retrograde in the back half of March. Specifically, you’ll be remembering your past adventures and emotional journey with your partner of choice. Luckily for the both of you, your nostalgia fest will help you heal old wounds and render your relationship stronger than ever before.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Live It Up, Libra

It’s time to shake off those winter blahs, put on a big pair of sunglasses, and start living your life like it’s summer, even though it’s not even spring yet. Your mimosa glass is going to be half-full from here on out as you embrace healthier routines (don’t worry, mimosas have orange juice), activate your fitness plan, organize your life, and just plain feel alive for the first time since… mid-January, maybe? The blood moon solar eclipse will serve as a great opportunity to let go of your fears and show off your stuff to the world en masse. Lean into your creativity without worrying about the judgmental eyes of others, it’s your time to shine, babe!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Grab Your Suitcase, Scorpio

Bye bye, work! Put that big project on hold, it’ll still be there when you get back. Back from where, you ask? You’re going on a little holiday. The sun and Mars (your co-ruling planet) are activating your sectors for romance and adventure this Pisces season and while you could potentially find those things here at home, let’s just pretend that you can’t. Venus is getting ready for its retrograde, which spells big changes for your love life—and everything will be shaken up even further by the upcoming eclipse. So wherever you end up going on your trip, one thing’s for sure, it’ll be a memorable one. Send us a postcard!

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Keep It Low-key, Sagittarius

Your home is your castle and if it’s decidedly un-castle-like, well, it might just be time for a little home renovation here and there or some updates to your decor to make it feel as stately as you deserve. With the sun filling up your home sector during Pisces season, you’ll find yourself energized to… stay at home on the couch and hang out with your peeps. The time is right for cozy dinners with your friends and fam, nourishing not just your belly but also your emotional wellbeing. Just say no to stress!

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Good Talk, Capricorn

We’ve got good news and bad news for you. The good news is that the sun’s in your communication sector, so you’ll find that you’re ready, willing, and able to reach out and touch someone more than ever before. This is great. You’ll make some new friends and have several enjoyable, witty interactions with casual acquaintances at the grocery store, it’ll be an excess of bubbly fun. The bad news is that half-way through March, there’s this whole Mercury in retrograde thing and Mercury rules communication. So you’ve got from now until then to exploit your gift of gab. Just don’t wait too long, because your wires are about to get crazy crossed for the foreseeable future.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Make Some Dough, Aquarius

Big money, big money, no whammy, no whammy! We interrupt this dated game show ref to bring you a news bulletin: The planets are aligned in a most favorable configuration that’s due to hit you right where it usually hurts—your wallet. But now the only thing your wallet will be hurting is your lower back, on account of the fat wads of cash contained therein. That metaphor may be a bit strained but hey, now you’ve got the scratch to buy a new one! Now’s the time to close that deal, take on new clients or new job offers, and start living large. Yeah, there’s that retrograde business coming your way in March, but you’re far too rich and fancy now to be bothered with that fiddle-faddle. Go buy something shiny!

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Happy Birthday, Pisces

Pisces, it’s your time! As you celebrate another spin around the sun, you might notice that a whole bunch of planets turned up for your birthday party. Close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out those candles, because this particular alignment is due to bring you a hearty helping of good luck. Kick off this new age knowing that your vision for the future is within reach and that the universe is rooting for you. The upcoming retrogrades will encourage you to spend less and save more—while that may not sound very exciting now, your financial caution will help pave the way for the big moves you’ll be making throughout the rest of the year.
