On Saturday, February 1, a mess of cosmic energy is teaming up in the dream weaver sign of Pisces — giving us all a dopamine rush and a loin flush.
Venus, our planet of attraction, relationships, and worth, is getting kissing close to Neptune, our planet of whimsy, romantic delusions, soft lighting, and mainlining love like the hard drug that it is.
Astrologer Babs Cheung, aka The Astro Translator, tells The Post, “Whether you are happily cuffed or hopelessly single, you won’t be able to resist feeling a little pitter-patter in your heart as this swoon-worthy effect takes place.”
Neptune is the planetary ruler of Pisces — adding even more of a pillow talk in a pillow fort in the sky, MDMA on the tongue vibe.
Neptune and Venus conjunction in Pisces
Cheung expounds, “Songs will sound better, our senses will be heightened, and if we’re with the right people, we have a chance to connect more deeply than ever before. You might even feel brave enough to explore some sexual fantasies together or talk more freely about your preferences. No matter what your freak is, your partner should be able to match it, and this is a great day to do just that.”
We love to see it, folks.
However, Cheung cautions that with all the good good flowing and the freak flags flying some among us are poised to plummet.
“For those not with the right people, there are also higher stakes on this day for heartbreak, making the emotional highs higher and lows lower.”
North Node in Pisces
She explains that the North Node of Destiny and the Moon, our emotional barometer, will also be swimming in Pisces on Saturday, amplifying relevations, deep feelings and radical vulnerability.
“The Moon, in charge of our emotional state and feelings of safety, wants to connect through vulnerability. While this is great if you have a trusting partner to do that with, it can spell out tragedy for those who aren’t so lucky.”
Translation? Make sure it’s safe to share before you open a vein/expose your soft underbelly lest you come to/sober up feeling like you’ve said too much and worn too little.
Cheung notes that the North Node in Pisces encourages spiritual connection while the South Node in Virgo pulls us to intellectualize and organize rather than embody our emotions.
Clarity is compassion, empathy with boundaries
“This hot-cold energy can lead to mixed signals and hurt feelings. If you’re interested, you’re ready to dive in deeply, but if you aren’t, you need to make that absolutely clear and be honest about what you want.”
Whether taking a deep dive or keeping it casual, clarity is compassion.
To add to the star soup, Saturn — our planet of karmic retribution, tough love, and hard lessons — has been in Pisces for the last two years, encouraging all of us to get wise up about self-sabotage, boundaries, and romantic delusions.
“February 1, 2025 will feel like a wake-up call when it comes to love and romance. While this could mean some choppy waters for couples who have yet to be honest with one another or situationships that need to graduate or call it quits, February 1st is a charged time to figure out if your relationships are worth celebrating on the 14th,” explained Cheung.
Here’s to getting clear and keeping the faith.
