Written in late February 2026, in the first week after the Saturn–Neptune conjunction.
Yuck! I didn't even realise it was Pisces season, the sign ruled by Neptune, and arriving right after Saturn and Neptune met in "The Reset." How I hate this watery, doubled-fish sign: two fish swimming in opposite directions, yet bound together. It's a picture of a meeting point between two worlds, the visible and the invisible.
And yes, the numerologist in me can't help herself. Squint at the Pisces glyph and it looks like a pi sign meeting its own reflection. Pi is 3.14, and 3 + 1 + 4 = 8, the number of infinite potential and abundance. H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, and doesn't the glyph look a little like an H, too? Two worlds joined by a bridge. Make of that what you will!
What Pisces asks of us is mutable energy: adapting and dissolving as it shifts. Its emotional waves may be gentle, but they're always moving. Don't resist those emotions and feelings. Notice them and work with them, because the more you resist, the stronger they grow.
But isn't that what brings clarity? Think of seawater washing through the seabed, separating the sand, the soil and every particle in the water (including, yes, a fair bit of fish poop!).
If we sit in it with patience and honesty, and work through both what we're conscious of and what we're not, we may get to see through the disillusionment, the haziness, the darkness. At the end of this process sit discernment, sharper intuition, renewed inspiration, and the ability to protect our spaces and boundaries so our energy goes where it actually works.
As someone once put it, emotional dissolution seems to be a necessary step towards renewal: things have to come apart before they can come together in a new way.
The add-on: my Gate 47
And finally, having arrived at C-L-A-R-I-T-Y, I had a realisation about my unconscious (Design) Sun in Gate 47. How the f*** had I been missing this! It hit me right after I'd finished writing this piece, so this part is an add-on. But it fits, because these energies layer on top of each other and compound. I only learned that energies can compound from my Human Design teacher, Katie Irvine.
Gate 47 sits in the Ajna and is the Gate of Realization. It's the ability to pull abstract pieces together into one cohesive idea, in an "AHA" moment, when the timing is right. It's an epiphany that doesn't come from logic. The story always starts in confusion: taking in all the bits and pieces of information and slowly painting a clear picture, until the realisation arrives all at once.
Which is exactly what this Pisces season did for me. Oh, what a gift of transmutation.
The picture at the top of this post is one I made with Nano Banana, Google's AI image tool. Doesn't it show transfiguration beautifully?
Is there a Pisces-season realisation still settling in you? I'd love to hear it. Reply, or write to me at info@thekinsurfers.com.
