Hey everyone!We’re in week two of Pisces season and rolling into March with another big astrological shift—Venus retrograde is kicking off on March 1. After Mars just wrapped up its retrograde, Venus is now inviting us to reflect on love, relationships, values, and desires. This retrograde starts in Aries and will dip back into Pisces, making it a powerful time for reassessing how we connect with others.For me, this hits my 9th house, so I’ll be reflecting on themes of travel, philosophy, and personal expansion—especially fresh off my recent trip to Costa Rica. With the new moon in Pisces happening this week as well, it’s an ideal time to set intentions around harmony in relationships before Venus sends us into a deep review mode.Astrologically, March is a heavy month—Neptune enters Aries for the first time since 1861, eclipse season begins, and Mercury will also retrograde mid-month. So, this new moon is extra significant for manifestation before things start shifting unexpectedly.Human Design is also highlighting the Gate of Harmony, reminding us to nurture our closest relationships and build strong, interdependent communities. True harmony takes effort, self-awareness, and communication—something we often idealize but struggle to embody. Venus retrograde will likely bring up old wounds and patterns around love, self-worth, and desire, urging us to slow down and reflect.So, as we enter this Venus retrograde period, let’s embrace the pause. Instead of rushing into love, validation, or impulsive desires, let’s take this time to sit with our feelings, trust the process, and focus on authentic connection—both with others and ourselves.See you next week as we dive into the themes of Doubt & Grace. Sending love and heartbursts!—Alison-----Stay in touch!Cycles of Time Podcast is written and hosted by Alison Dale of Astrosomatics and produced by Jackson Mathey of ⁠Spirit River Sound⁠.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@cyclesoftimepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@astro.somatics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram, or subscribe for free at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠astrosomatics.substack.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get the pod in your inbox every Monday.

Get deeper into the transits: Get your⁠Cycles of Time Google Calendar⁠ for 2025 on my Etsy store, for easy integration into your existing Google Calendar!---------Welcome to Pisces season! This is one of my favorite times of the year—deep, dreamy, emotional, and full of spiritual surrender. In this episode, I dive into what Pisces season really means, not just in astrology, but also through the lens of Human Design, the I Ching, and the larger cycles of time. Pisces is the final sign of the zodiac, the great dissolver of boundaries, where everything merges into one vast ocean of interconnectedness. It’s where endings meet beginnings, compost turns into fertile soil, and we prepare for a whole new cycle.I talk about how Pisces season starts with the Human Design Gate of Abundance (Gate 55), which is all about emotional freedom, trust, and shifting out of victimhood. This is a powerful moment to let go, embrace the unknown, and recognize that abundance isn’t something we chase—it’s something we align with when we surrender. I also go over the six key Human Design gates that play out over Pisces season, each bringing its own flavor to the journey of emotional and spiritual transformation.We also have a big shift happening—Mars is finally stationing direct in Cancer! This is huge for emotional release and moving forward after a period of reflection and internal processing. With Mars going direct while the Sun is in Gate 55, we’re being called to let go of emotional baggage, stop trying to control everything, and trust the bigger picture. Faith over fear is the theme here.Throughout the episode, I reflect on how Pisces energy asks us to embrace fluidity, interdependence, and the realization that there’s no real separation between “me” and “we.” It’s a season of deep emotions, spiritual downloads, and intuitive insights. If you’ve been feeling extra sensitive or like you’re floating between worlds—yeah, that’s Pisces. Just ride the wave.I also share a few ways to stay connected with these cycles, including myCycles of Time Google Calendar (available on Etsy!) that tracks all the major astrology, Human Design, and Wheel of the Year transits. And, of course, I love hearing from you—let me know how this energy is showing up in your life!Until next week, embrace the fluid magic of Pisces season. ✨💙---------Stay in touch!Follow ⁠⁠⁠@cyclesoftimepodcast⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠@astro.somatics⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram, or subscribe for free at ⁠astrosomatics.substack.com⁠ to get the pod in your inbox every Monday.
