Pisces: Your 2016 Cosmic Outlook [Harper's Bazaar]
Happy birthday Pisces! Rebecca Gordon of My Path Astrology shares insight into your exciting year ahead. Plus find out your style with our Pisces mood board.
All About You
There is that sexy allure about being the final sign of our Zodiac. You possess unique wisdom of the world, having been through all those signs that came before you— and yet you still retain that whimsical charm. A part of you will always be just out of reach, no matter how close others may get. It's an ethereal quality that is so hard to pin down and it is also extremely magnetizing. You may easily have the feeling of being an 'old soul' – like this is all a big dress rehearsal. After the long journey from Aries to Aquarius, at last, we land at the open shores of Pisces where there is heightened awareness and deep sensitivity to all humanity. Being so emotionally connected, you can excel in careers like art, dance, music, photography, film and as well spirituality. You are here to show us all how to transcend this material world and laugh at the ridiculous parts of life. You are a master at perspective and this is what makes you so comedic.
Self-Expression & Career
It seems like you have been on the track of deep self-development since 2011, back when your planetary ruler, Neptune re-entered Pisces (it will remain there until 2025). During this time, the focus will be on developing your creativity and spiritual pursuits. Essentially, you are the trend-setter of the zodiac for this duration of time—which will underscore spirituality and connectivity between all life forms on the planet. However, this newly developing part of yourself will be put through rigorous steps imposed by serious Saturn in your career sector. A challenging angle stands between your personal desires and industry expectations with Neptune and Saturn at odds with each other. Roll up your sleeves Pisces, and get to the necessary steps to make this dream manifest. You may have to burn the midnight oil, however—you will pave the way for the future with new practices in the workplace. Take up the challenge and create a new blueprint–be a trend-setter in your industry. April is a month when you can easily introduce new ideas with futuristic Uranus being so close to the new Moon. You may even develop a new source of income in April based on your keen innovations. A rough set of eclipses seems to have thoroughly shaken up your financial sector this last few years, though thankfully that eclipse family is now moving on and financial stability can now become the norm. Money will be most favorable in the 2nd half of the year and if you are looking for an investor or home sale, best to wait until early October as Jupiter lovingly teams up with a new Moon to help grant you your wish.
Love & Partnership
Will be the glowing headliner of your year ahead with lucky Jupiter spending quality time in your partnership sector. That has not happened in 12 years so think back to what happened then… You are in the zone to attract your ideal mate in marriage or business this year. The first half of 2016 brims with the opportunity to develop this partnership which will likely grow more deeply in the second half of the year. If you are already in a partnership, your relationship and partners' life will flourish: i.e. your partners' start-up will suddenly take off. Spring will awaken your spirit with a dazzling pair of eclipses in Pisces. The first one is a New Moon Solar Eclipse on March 9th—an opportunity to truly re-invent and re-birth yourself after last year. Opt for a form of self-expression in 2016 which is uncompromising and so authentically you. No excuses. As you do this, any layers of pretense will fall away. You are truly the best actor that can play yourself so step into character, fully. The romance needle will be turned way up this summer, especially mid-July as a dreamy New Moon will enter your life like a fire-works finale. The lesson here is that true love is actually possible. If you have been looking to have a baby, July will be ideal as you should be well relaxed and perhaps on holiday on a far-off island. This love plot thickens at the mid-point of 2016 with a Solar Eclipse on September 1st. The eclipse will pierce deep roots for this relationship to develop and simultaneously, will assist in the uprooting of any past relations that are in the way. Patterns and people that are unhealthy for you will get eclipsed out of your life in 2016 making space for only the most authentic relations to develop.
