02.10.26 - 03.06.26
If the start of 2026 has felt a little cold or overly logical for you, you can thank your lucky stars because today, the energy is shifting. Venus—the planet of what we love, how we spend, and the way we connect—is leaving the cerebral, high-altitude air of Aquarius and diving into the deep, misty waters of Pisces. And honestly? It’s about time!
In astrology, we say Venus is exalted in Pisces. Basically, she’s checking into a five-star spa where the robes are silk, the music is ambient, and the boundaries don't exist. She loves it here!
From the Head to the Heart
For the last few weeks, Venus in Aquarius had us looking at love through a telescope. It was platonic, intellectual, and a bit detached. It was about the group and the big idea.
But now we’re moving from Yang/Fixed Air (structured/ thinking) to Yin/Mutable Water (fluid/ feeling). We are trading the telescope for a reflection of ourselves in a lake. This energy is emotional, boundaryless, and deeply transcendent.
The Monet Effect
If you want to know what this transit feels like, look at a Monet painting. Everything is dreamy, delicate, and wispy. There are no hard edges. In a Monet, you can’t quite tell where the water lily ends and the reflection of the sky begins. That is exactly what happens to our hearts right now. We stop seeing where we end and others begin.
This shows up in our world as:
The Hippie Aesthetic: Think flowy fabrics, bells, wildflowers, and an overall "undone" beauty. It’s the Summer of Love, even in February.
The Rumi Connection: As the poet Rumi said, "Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." That is the 100% quintessential Venus in Pisces vibe. Love isn't a destination; it's the air we breathe.
The Compassion Economy
Venus also rules our wallet, and in Pisces, the way we handle money gets… misty. We start dealing in the Liminal Space—the things you can't touch but definitely feel.
Spiritual Careers: This is the season for the healers, the Tarot readers, the therapists, and the artists. People aren't paying for stuff right now; they are paying for a feeling or a sense of peace.
The Robin Hood Vibe: You might feel a sudden surge of philanthropy. Money becomes a tool for healing the world rather than just something to hoard.
The Martyr Trap: (Watch out for this!) Because Pisces is so compassionate, we tend to under-charge or feel guilty for taking money for our gifts. We fall into the trap of thinking "if it’s spiritual, it should be free." This is where the Martyr archetype starts to bleed into your bank account. Don't let your boundaries dissolve so much that you can't pay your rent.
The Pros & Cons: What to Expect
The Pros:
A massive surge in creative inspiration (the Muse is loud right now).
Spiritual breakthroughs in relationships.
Radical empathy and forgiveness.
The Cons:
Escapism: The urge to check out via Netflix, wine, or rose-colored delusions is high.
Lack of Discernment: You might fall in love with a project or a version of someone that doesn't actually exist.
The Disappearing Act: When things get real or hard, the urge to ghost or slip away like a fish is very real.
How to Harness the Magic
Create without a Plan: Paint, write, or decorate using your intuition rather than a tutorial. Let the edges be messy.
Practice Radical Compassion: Reach out to someone with an olive branch. The fluidity of this week makes it much easier to wash away old grudges.
Set One Hard Boundary: Since the energy is so boundaryless, pick one thing (like your work hours or your budget) and keep it firm so you don't get swept out to sea.
The Psychonautic Practice: "The Scrying Mirror"
Since Pisces rules the subconscious and the unseen, this practice is designed to help you bypass your logical brain and talk directly to your intuition.
The Ritual: "Water-Gazing"
Set the Atmosphere: Dim the lights. If you have a bowl of water (or even a dark mirror), place it in front of you.
The Soft Focus: Don’t look at the water; look through it. Try to find that "Monet eyes" state where your vision blurs slightly.
The Question: Ask your subconscious: "What is the dream I am afraid to see?"
The Flow: Don’t wait for a literal answer. Notice a feeling, a color, or a memory that floats up.
Journal Prompts for the Deep-Dive
On Boundaries: Where am I bleeding into other people's problems, and is that actually love, or am I just avoiding my own edges?
On Value: If I stopped hustling for my worth and just allowed myself to be a vessel for my art/spirit, what would my work look like?
On the Muse: What is the dream I keep pushing to the background because it feels too impractical for the real world?
🐚 Conclusion: Surrendering to the Flow
We have about three weeks to swim in these waters before the lights come on and the edges get sharp again in March. This transit isn’t asking you to do anything. It’s asking you to be. It’s an invitation to forgive the unforgivable, to see the beauty in the broken, and to let your heart be a little bit bigger than your ego for a while.
So, let the edges of your life blur. Put down the telescope, stop trying to calculate the distance, and just feel the reflection of the stars on the surface of your own soul. It’s messy, it’s misty, and it’s exactly where the magic happens.
