I’ve never planned my life around a horoscope, but I enjoy astrology as a meditative practice. I find astrological charts mesmerizing, and reading someone’s birth chart is a fun party trick. The idea that the planets could influence our day to day fits my semi-secular lifestyle perfectly fine, mainly because I’m not going to do that much about it anyway. Likewise, this zodiac playlist mirrors distant planetary movements, but the main goal is bringing you a monthly roundup of great music you haven’t heard yet.
Pisces season kicks off February 18 and will be filled with major transits. What’s a transit? Thanks for asking: it’s the path a planet takes through the sky as seen from Earth. As celestial bodies move at different speeds across the sky, they shift from one sign of the zodiac to the next.
In astrology, different planets rule different categories (transportation, relationships, luck, etc), and whatever sign they’re in at the moment can influence our lives in different ways. And if the combination of 12 zodiac signs and nine planets (yes, Pluto still counts) wasn’t enough, these different transits can intersect and interact with each other as well. But that’s getting too deep in the weeds; what you really need to know is that this Pisces season — with a Saturn-Neptune conjunction, an upcoming mercury retrograde, a lunar eclipse, Mars and Venus transits, and Jupiter turning direct — will ask us to go-with-the-flow amidst chaotic circumstances, saving our energy (and luck) for when we need it the most.
