By Defining Your Dreams, You Define Your Self

This week's Pisces Sun/Mercury/Saturn Stellium at 9°

The Pisces Sun, Mercury, and Saturn stellium was exact at 9° on February 28, 2024. I missed a newsletter last week, and debated sending an email explaining why. A friend shared that she had no idea of the Substack schedules of those she subscribed to, which calmed my nerves. (I’ve recently struggled to keep up with the publications I subscribe to; I doubt anyone missed the email I thought of sending). I haven’t been taking long walks as I’m accustomed to for some time now, as it’s too hard on my body. I have held fast to my sleep hygiene routine, which is critical for brain injury recovery. No, I’m not perfect, but five out of seven nights is good enough. (In case you’re wondering and its helpful: no phone after 9:30 PM and no phone until 2 hours after waking, except to check my group text related to early morning dogwalking. I keep a book and a headlamp beside my bed for when insomnia messes with me).

Despite its idealism, Pisces is not a perfectionist, and I’m thankful for that. Anxiety falls under the purview of Neptune, and as an astrologer I’d suggest that our current stellium in Pisces - even with separating energy - is creating anxiety in many of us; Pisces’ planetary ruler is, of course, Neptune.
