On the 18th February at 15.52 pm, the Sun will move from the airy, fixed sign of Aquarius into the mutable, water energy of Pisces; the final season of the astrological year, and with it comes a big shift in the energies available to us.
Each month, the sun changes sign, and the energies available for us to work with. Moving on from the humanitarian, innovative, and community-focused sign of Aquarius, we shift into the highly spiritual, intuitive, and creative sign of Pisces. This can be a welcome relief, especially if you are a Water sign.
The Sun in Pisces energies
The sun represents our life force energy; it's about action, what we put into the world and work to achieve. Each time the sun moves sign, the energies available to work with also change.
Pisces is traditionally ruled by Jupiter, the expander. In modern astrology, it is ruled by Neptune, the mystic. Jupiter is about the force that grows your world through meaning and faith; it's about expansion, growth, purpose, and truth. While Neptune is about the part of life that is felt rather than proven, it's about intuition, spiritual connection, unconditional love, and imagination.
Pisces is the most spiritual of all the signs; it encompasses all other signs within it. It emphasises water energies, which are about emotions, living and speaking your truth, and working with your guidance. Represented by the fishes, it is an example to trust in the universe to get you where you need to go.
Pisces feel deeply, are creative and imaginative, extremely compassionate, and work to release old cycles and anything that is no longer serving them, and often have a deep sense of knowing and trusting in the universe.
Water energy is all about emotions, intuition, and imagination. While Mutable energy is adaptable energy, it's about transition, transformation, and integration. So this is a great time to evaluate, identify anything no longer serving you and release it ahead of the new astrological year. It is also a time to work with your intuition and guides, and integrate any guidance going forward.
We can all benefit from the energies available to us at any time, but if you were born during Pisces season, or it is your moon or rising sign, then this is a time for great opportunities and transformation.
Opportunities for Pisces Season
As I said, anyone can work with these energies if you choose to and are drawn to. Pisces Season provides you with an opportunity to:
Reset: As the last sign of the astrological year, it's a chance to reset and prepare to restart in Aries season. It's an opportunity to release and let go before we head into spring.
Feel: It is a time to feel deeply and open yourself to your emotions. We are here to feel, and often bury emotions, but this isn't feeling them and releasing them. So open yourself up and allow yourself to feel your emotions.
Connect: Take time to check in with yourself, and work with your intuition and guidance to identify anything that needs changing or reviewing. Work with that guidance to integrate it into your life going forward.
Create: Take time to explore your creativity. Even if you're not an artist, experiment with different creative outlets, whether it is dancing, singing, writing, have fun and creatively express yourself.
Crystals for Pisces Season
If you're an earth or water sign, you might find this season a breeze to navigate, but if you are a fire or air sign, you might find the energies a little challenging. Either way, we can always find support in our tools, and crystals are a great tool. As always, work with the crystals you are drawn to during this season, but if you are looking for some additional guidance, then here are some possible crystals for you:
Aquamarine
Our stone of emotion, not only does it help you feel your emotions, but it supports you in releasing and letting go. It is ideal for working with water energies, and can be a huge support during Pisces season.
Rose Quartz
Self-loveand compassion is important during Pisces season. It's a time to care for yourself, and Rose Quartz encourages you to do just that. Whether you need to go back to your basics, and prioritise your needs first, or just need a reminder to do something each day for yourself, Rose Quartz can support you with this.
Amethyst
Calm and connection. During Pisces season, we could feel overwhelmed. Amethyst helps bring calm and peace back to us, whilst also aiding in guidance and spiritual connection. So if you struggle with following your guidance, this would be a great tool for support.
How to work with Pisces energy
Pisces season works best when you flow instead of force.
Do: choose practices that calm the nervous system
slow walks, baths/showers as cleansing rituals
breathwork, yin yoga, stretching
early nights + softer mornings
Do: work with water (Pisces’ element)
intention-setting in the bath or shower
sea-salt foot soaks
sipping water mindfully with an affirmation like:“I release what is not mine to carry.”
Do: make space for spiritual connection
meditation (even 5 minutes)
tarot/oracle pulls for guidance
journaling prompts:
What am I ready to forgive?
What am I ready to release?
What does my intuition keep repeating?
Do: protect your energy gently but firmly
Pisces season can blur boundaries. Try:
less doomscrolling and distractions
saying no sooner
“energetic hygiene” (smoke cleansing, sound, prayer, grounding)
Don’t: demand clarity on a tight timeline
Pisces reveals things in layers. You’ll get more answers through patience, rest, and reflection than through pushing.

This has started well for me, so my instinct tells me today. Not entirely sure if it's to do with my water tiger rather than my airy gemini. Either way, very happy to go with the flow. Interesting and helpful post, many thanks.
