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, the planet that influences attraction, relationships, and self-worth, is moving closer to Neptune, the planet associated with daydreams, romantic fantasies, creating a cozy atmosphere, and experiencing love intensely.
Astrologer known as Babs Cheung, or The Astro Translator, shares with The Post that “Whether you’re happily in a relationship or unattached, you’re likely to feel a flutter in your heart as this enchanting influence unfolds.”
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 elaborates, saying, “Music will sound more beautiful, our senses will be more acute, and with the right people, we have an opportunity to form deeper connections than ever before. You may even feel comfortable enough to explore intimate desires together or openly discuss your preferences. No matter what excites you, your partner should be willing to embrace it, making this an ideal time to do so.”
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.
