Philip Sedgwick (Deep Space Astrologer) - Sky Scraping: Piscean Perspective 12 Feb 2026
In less than a week, the Sun engages the sign of Pisces.
Some claim when the Sun transits Pisces this conjures a time of introspection and perspective. Maybe. What we know about perspective is that the sooner things can be seen in true light, the better for untangling knots and squaring away the locker of life activities. While soon the combo platter of Ceres, Chiron and Eris in Aries receives added astrological attention, now is the time for prep work and preparation for Pisces. Here’s to cosmic mise-en-transits.
On 20 February Saturn conjoins Neptune in Aries - definitely a Piscean flavor in looking at real world realities. It’s time to imagine the unimaginable and to set sail toward all those fantastical agendas and places.
On 23 February the Sun convenes with the Chinese deity Gonggong in Pisces. Simply put, an unusual point of view applied to any tangled circumstances goes a long way in terms of creating a new angle of attack for all things that must be unknotted and engaged in the campaign of life.
On 26 February the Sun and Lunar North Node hook up, and they promise to wrap around and about purpose things - causes that require engagement, sorting karma things and solving the emotional woes of the world.
Venus and Nessus engage via conjunction coincident with the Sun to nodes. This transit stresses the importance of healing and letting go of bad blood between parties who must engage by relationship, family, contract or cause, particularly in the highly-charged life arenas of money and personal interaction.
At the same virtual time, Mercury stations, in preparation to do the retrograde thing in Pisces, while one sign away in Aries, Ceres catches up with Chiron, and soon thereafter, Eris. A review of the emotional opinions held of how one’s progress in emotional healing and involvement with intended life social markers stand out in bright, bold highlighting.
The time is all about soothing the soul, sorting emotional woes and healing all fractures in ones vessel of sensitivity.
It’s all about what’s good for what ails you. To fluidly engage these transits, it is necessary to transcend the PGA tour of life - you know, the Pain and Gain Academy. It life hurts, you must be growing, and the more one hurts, the further down the road they can kick the emotional can of worms. The PGA’s membership terms of service require that one realize there is no gain in life without pain.
To which ones bruised sensibilities must ask, “Really? Where is this written in the cosmic code?”
It’s not.
The PGA transformation has been grabbed by many gurus of transcendence, stating it is universal law. However, the fine print in paragraph 23 of The Universal Transformation Doctrine, Section 14, Sub Section 33 clearly states that taking a headache remedy to alleviate pain while plowing through one of life’s superbly crafted plot points is totally allowable. In Paragraph 24, it is stated that taking a moment to enjoy the freedom of pain and memorizing that feeling into the cellular memory is a required step. This is colloquially known as the “Ahhhhhhhhhh” moment.
Did I make up the Universal Transformation Doctrine? Of course I did. It’s my job as a creative to conjure up fantastical outcomes as we enjoy the upcoming glow of Saturn to Neptune and all the transits stated above. Where would you consciously choose to align? With the UTD or the PGA?
Truly, constant iteration of how miserable life is under the auspices of the PGA tour, is unbecoming and others quickly grow weary of your unending painful declarations. They probably will shun involvement with you defeating the nature of Ceres to Eris and the upcoming Chiron to Eris conjunction. No self-respecting soul seeker benefits from that.
Imagine the coyote in the roadrunner cartoons. In pursuit of the roadrunner, the coyote assembles all sorts of Acme products to snare his illusive dinner. Acme products can easily be purchased online and feature expedited prime shipping so they can arrive before you even have the idea to pull out a credit card, or so it seems. The Acme products possess an intrinsic bugger boo. They have not been tested in the field of life while promising a short term solution to a long term matter... you know the Saturn to Neptune thing. And they cause the coyote pain... from which he transforms as quickly as his restored image can be created in a new frame.
Can pain be a transcendent force? Perhaps, but so can ecstasy and pleasure. Is this denial? No. Simply this is a matter of shifting attention on what is most likely to induce your personal evolution. Is it fair to apply grease to the grinding gears of life? Certainly, otherwise why would the Creator in her great wisdom have given someone the inspiration to create grease, which can easily be applied to grief as well as gears.
So, how was your 2025? Many people, myself included, experienced an especially challenging series of circumstances during the previous calendric year, lingering into last month. Cosmic consciousness veterans, you know, those folks who really battled life, see no gain in stimulating more pain awareness through the constant recall of previous difficult and tedious circumstances. Extract the wisdom Saturn encourages. Neptune reenforces aiming for the stars realizing that landing on a different planet or even a moon does not earn a merit badge. It’s the stars or selling out the psyche.
As Pisces prevails, do a Pisces thing. Watch an evocative movie. Feel the emotion the film evokes, extract the moral code of the movie, integrate it into your consciousness, and perhaps that reduces the expectation of the PGA tour. A book, poetry or music may accomplish the same thing - all creative forces come under the auspices of Pisces.
Going forward there’s a heap of year yet to be encountered. Saturn in Aries currently promotes self awareness as the absolute life priority and in a couple of months, Jupiter in Leo embellishes the need for confidence as the substrate of self awareness.
More soon.
