Your Focus for Pisces Season
February 18th - March 20th
We’re baaaaaaaaack. These “your focus for the season” posts were foundational when this publication started, and after quite a long pause, they’re back and better than ever. Let’s get into it, starting with the basics.
Every 30 days, the Sun moves into a new zodiac sign, shifting our collective focus and giving us a new flavor of energy to work with. These seasonal shifts highlight different areas of life, and understanding these shifts can help you align your plans with the larger cosmic rhythm. This is a foundational piece of “flowing in harmony with the energy of the universe.”
The Sun is in Pisces from February 18th - March 20th
Pisces season brings us deep into the realm of imagination, intuition and emotional healing. The final sign of the zodiac, Pisces carries the wisdom of every sign that came before it, making this a time for endings, transitions and the deep introspection that often accompanies them. Especially now that the North Node has also recently moved into Pisces, we’ll be further awakened to the illusion of control and invited to embrace the unknown. This season teaches us to trust—trust in ourselves, trust in our intuition, and trust in the natural unfolding of divine circumstances. Prepare to feel a little extra sensitive and inspired for next four weeks.
In the spirit of endings, this month is your last chance to book a Private Session with Marissa before they’re gone. There are currently 2 1 openings left.
More than anything, Pisces season is about softening. It’s a sign that asks that we let our logic temporarily take a backseat as the unseen world becomes more accessible. Dreams, symbolism and emotions will be heightened, offering insights that cannot be explained but feel undeniably true. Creativity flows more freely this season and our spiritual awareness deepens. However, with this openness comes a blurring of boundaries—it will be easy to get swept away by confusion, escapism, or other people’s emotions you mistake as your own. Hold an awareness that these things could be happening and stay grounded while still allowing yourself to flow.
In other words, find your anchor. Whether that’s a person, a ritual, or a space in your home. Something will need to hold the string to your balloon so that you can find your way back home when you get too lost in the dream.
What Makes This Pisces Season Special
This Pisces Season carries extra weight because it’s the last time the Sun and Saturn will meet in Pisces for nearly three decades. Since March 2023, Saturn has been steadily helping your reshape an area of your life, forcing you to mature and be disciplined where yo tend to operate on instinct or illusion. “Creativity flourishes in a container” has been Saturn’s rallying cry during this part of his cycle as he’s delivered lessons to help us master our emotional boundaries and turn our dreams into real-world outcomes. As Saturn prepares to leave Pisces in May, this season offers a final push, shining a light on the progress you’ve made and what still needs to be integrated. This is the all-nighter before your final exam—the Sun will help you illuminate the last details you must master in order to graduate, fully prepared for what’s next. Pay attention to the themes surfacing in your life now—they are the final lessons of a cycle you’ve been working through for the past 2.5 years.
Where to Focus Your Energy This Season
Before we get into the specifics, I’d like to make a blanket recommendation to always lead with your intuition first. Astrology is a powerful tool for insight and often confirms what we’re already sensing, but it does not take over your free will, nor should it ever override your own inner knowing. If you already have a strong sense of where your focus should be this season, trust it. Then use the information in the remainder of this post to refine, validate and hep you if you feel stuck or overwhelmed by being pulled in too many different directions. This is a guide, not a rulebook.
If you find yourself trying to force progress in every direction, try focusing on the area of life that Pisces season naturally activates for you. Find your rising sign* to learn where to direct your attention for this season to make the most out of this cycle.
*FAQ: Why should I look at my rising sign instead of my sun sign?
When using astrology for business and practical planning, your rising sign is the key to understanding how the seasonal transits influence your external world. Your rising sign will show you the areas of life the sun is activating, showing where your conscious focus, decisions and tangible efforts are best directed. Your sun sign represents your soul’s deeper evolution, but your rising sign reflects your immediate focus—what your conscious awareness is drawn toward and how you interact with the world. Because business operates on the material plane, using your rising sign for planning gives you the most actionable insights for what’s unfolding in real-time and will help you make strategic decisions about your career and business that match the energy of the moment.
This season is about pulling back and making space for reflection to help you prepare for the beginning of a new cycle next season. If you can, hold off on launching into something new and take this time to process the previous 11 months and recharge your batteries (especially since your chart ruler has been in retrograde for 10+ weeks!!!) Clarity will come when you allow yourself to pause and surrender right now—what needs to be released before you move forward?
Your attention turns to your network and the people who support your vision and want to be a part of what you’re building. Whether it’s through group collaborations, mentoring your community or simply sharing your insights with your audience, this is the season that you can grow your following by engaging with others in a meaningful way. How can you use your skills and experience to contribute to a larger purpose?
You’re a boss, this season—it’s your time to step up professionally and allow the world to witness you making your mark on it. Visibility and leadership will be in focus for you right now, making it an ideal time to refine your public image or take bolder action in your career. What’s the next level of success you’re ready to claim and how do you need to position your work to the world to get there?
Restless might be setting in right now, signaling a need for new experiences that will help you grow. Learning, travel or expanding your perspective in some way will bring you some new inspiration—or maybe it’s simply a matter of finding an outlet to teach others what you’ve learned instead of keeping it all to yourself. What’s calling you to explore beyond your current reality? It’s time to start your next adventure.
Matters of business and finance take center stage for you this season, and perhaps you’ll find yourself discovering a new, untapped power but letting emotions that have been lurking beneath the surface see the light of day. Whether you’re restructuring your material resources or facing a deeper, more psychological transformation, you will emerge from this season with a new sense of personal empowerment. What do you need to do (or let go of) to harness your hidden power?
This is the season of partnerships for you, both personal and professional. You’ll find yourself drawn to new connections or balancing existing ones to make sure both sides are benefiting equally from collaborations. You may be inclined to do (or fix) everything yourself, which is why it’s important to “meet your match” so that your partner can help you carry the load, or bring something to the table that you don’t have yourself. What do you need to create stronger, more reciprocal relationships?
Daily routines, workflows and physical well-being are in focus for you this season, shining a light on anything that may need some fine-tuning. If life feels scattered and your to-do list feels so overwhelming that you don’t even want to look at it, now’s the time to make adjustment to bring your daily life into better balance. What small shifts can you make that will cut the fat and make the biggest impact?

Creative energy is really flowing for you this season, but it needs an outlet. Find a project, hobby, or simply a way to channel more joy into your daily life—this is a season for expressing yourself and creating what you wish existed in the world. What’s something you’ve been wanting to experience and how can you use your power to bring it to life?
I know you want to explore, but this season is turning your attention towards your home and emotional foundations. If you’re feeling restless, infuse some culture or inspiration into your living space by decorating with pieces that remind you of your favorite travel spot, reconnect with family or dream up your next adventure. This is the time for you to find security in what truly matters. What will bring you a sense of belonging within your immediate environment?
This season is about connection and sharing ideas within your social networks or local community. Write, speak, and reach out to new contacts—your words hold weight right now and will serve as the building blocks to achieve your goals. Guest on that podcast, share that article, or strike up that conversation with the person behind you in the Starbucks line. You never know what synchronicities await you. What story are you ready to tell?

Get clear on your goals and how you can build towards them.

A new chapter awaits you as you step into the light embodying a new version of yourself. This is your season to reinvent yourself after the last month of introspection. The world is your oyster this season, primed for fresh starts and waiting for you to make your own path. How can you fully embody who you’re becoming?
Final Thoughts
Pisces season is a reminder that growth doesn’t always by always pushing ahead—like a wave in the ocean, we must take time to also retreat. This season will reward us the more we leave space for the universe to play its part in our story. Whether your focus is on career, relationships or personal healing this season, trust that the right next steps will appear when you turn your focus inward and follow what feels true to your soul.
What’s resonating with you most this season?
'Creativity thrives in a container' :-)
Thank you for this overview, Marissa. My feeling as of late has been this push-and-pull vibe. It feels like we're shifting, in all ways, and while we move into this new season, it can feel a little wobbly at times. :)
