Pisces Season 2027: Dates & Meaning

Pisces season 2027 begins on February 18, 2027 at 4:33 PM EST and lasts 30 days. A penumbral lunar eclipse supermoon, a Pisces new moon and three retrograde planets give this year's season its own character.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, a mutable water sign pictured as two fish swimming in opposite directions. That image fits its dual, hard-to-pin-down nature. For about a month the Sun, which stands for identity, vitality and the conscious will, moves through a sign that is receptive, emotional and imaginative. Moods tend to soften, and the boundaries between your feelings and the feelings around you can blur.

At its best, Pisces is patient, kind, generous and sympathetic, with a taste for romance and a private inner life. Its shadow is just as clear: indecision, inconsistency, a habit of absorbing the conditions around you and then blaming them, and an escape into fanciful romance instead of facing yourself. Jupiter is the traditional ruler and Neptune the modern one, so growth and dreaming both color the season.

This year's season opens with a full moon at 2°05′ Virgo on February 20, 2027. It is a supermoon and a penumbral lunar eclipse, the faintest kind, a subtle shading of the Moon. A supermoon makes a lunation's themes read as louder, and an eclipse adds weight to endings and turning points. Set against the Sun in Pisces, it puts Virgo's methods and attention to detail up against Pisces' sensitivity. It is a good time to notice where self-criticism or fault-finding has hardened, and to loosen it.

Mars moves into Leo on February 21, 2027 while retrograde, so drive and courage turn toward review rather than launch. Mars stays retrograde through the whole season, and so does Jupiter, the sign's traditional ruler. That suggests revisiting what you believe in and how generous or excessive you have been, instead of expanding further.

Mercury turns direct at 20°55′ Aquarius on March 3, 2027, ending a retrograde that began before the season. Thinking, speech and messages that needed a second look may start to move forward again. The new moon at 17°34′ Pisces on March 8, 2027 is a quiet place to begin. It favors creative work such as writing or painting, efforts to care for others, and plans involving travel or the sea.

Mercury enters Pisces on March 18, 2027, so words and ideas pick up the sign's imaginative, receptive quality just before the season closes. Venus, the planet of love and harmony, sits in Aquarius and then Capricorn earlier in the sky, which leaves the romance side of Pisces to the Sun and the new moon this year.
