Sun in Pisces: February 19 – March 20, 2027 Pisces Season

The Sun moves from Aquarius into Pisces on February 19, 2027 at 00:33 (TST) and stays in Pisces until 23:24 on March 20. After the community-, idea-, and future-oriented atmosphere of Aquarius season, Pisces season brings intuition, imagination, compassion, and the inner world to the fore. Since Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, this season counts as the closing of the astrological year: when the Sun enters Aries on March 20, the new year begins. This year's Pisces season opens with a lunar eclipse and also includes the end of Mercury retrograde and a New Moon in Pisces. In this article we cover the season's calendar, the character of Pisces, and its effect based on your rising sign. You can find the season that is ending in the Sun in Aquarius article.

The Character of Pisces

Pisces is the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac; a mutable water sign. Its classical ruler is Jupiter, its modern ruler Neptune. From Jupiter come faith, generosity, and the search for meaning; from Neptune come imagination, intuition, and the urge to dissolve boundaries. Pisces is described as the sign that carries the experience of the eleven signs before it; that is why its empathy is strong and it easily feels what others feel.

During Pisces season, art, music, spirituality, dreams, and mutual aid come to the fore. It is a period when logic falls silent and intuition speaks. On the shadow side there is a desire to escape, difficulty setting boundaries, indecision, and a tendency to see reality as other than it is. We covered the style of Pisces in relationships in detail in the Pisces compatibility article.

The Event That Opens the Season: Lunar Eclipse in Virgo

The Full Moon on February 21 is a penumbral lunar eclipse taking place at 2°06' of Virgo. Because the Moon passes only through Earth's penumbra, it dims slightly and is hard to notice with the naked eye. In astrology, however, eclipses are read as turning points that intensify the awareness a Full Moon brings.

This eclipse activates the Pisces–Virgo axis. Pisces represents dream, surrender, and seeing the whole; Virgo represents order, detail, and service. The eclipse is a reminder to balance these two ends: to turn your dreams into concrete steps, and to arrange your daily routine in a way that also nourishes your spirit. Mars returning to Leo the same day also brings unfinished creative projects and your way of expressing yourself onto the agenda. Mars's journey is in the Mars in Virgo article. To understand where the eclipse falls in your chart, you can look at the which house are the eclipses in article.

Mercury Stations Direct and the Pisces New Moon

Mercury retrograde, which began on February 9, ends in Aquarius on March 3. Correspondence, contracts, and decisions postponed during the retrograde move more easily after the first week of March. Since it takes a few more weeks for Mercury to pass its pre-retrograde position and leave the shadow period, it is still wise to leave important signatures until the middle of the month.

The New Moon on March 8 is at 17°35' of Pisces. The Pisces New Moon is one of the most intuitive moments of the year for setting intentions: it is suited to making a new start with spiritual practices, art, rest, and healing. Since this New Moon is the last New Moon of the astrological year, it is also a good time to clarify what you want to leave behind.
