Pisces Weekly Horoscope - 12-June-2017 to 18-June-2017

While home will be your favorite sanctuary this week, don’t ignore the calling of your career. This Thursday, June 15 the Gemini Sun in your cozy fourth house gets beamed by industrious Saturn in Sagittarius and your ambitious tenth house. These two heavenly bodies will sit exactly opposite each other in the sky, making it imperative to find the right balance between nesting and hustling. You may have to pull yourself out of the hammock and hunker down at your desk. (Or maybe bring your laptop for some productive work-from-hammock time—the best of both worlds!) Don’t blow off the boss’ orders or “forget” promises you made to your clients and colleagues. Doing so could be detrimental to your good standing. Staying in clear communication is best, even if you need to ask for a longer deadline or bigger budget than anticipated.

If you love working from Casa Mermaid, get serious about setting up an office in your abode. A home-based business you begin as a side hustle could turn into a full-time gig before you know it. Or maybe you need to add a few more personal touches to your corporate workspace, which can make your daily routine feel less like a grind. You’ve hosted Saturn in your professional sector for two and a half years now, which has forced you to get serious about your aspirations. Alas, that climb has not come without its twists and turns. Saturn is like a strict, high-powered coach who won’t let you cut corners, take uncalculated gambles or underperform. You have six more months to weather Saturn here. On December 19, he’ll move on to your eleventh house of teamwork. Think of this final six-month stretch as your executive grooming phase. What polish do you still need to add to your performance? How do YOU want to lead? Thursday’s Sun-Saturn opposition can illuminate answers. Perhaps all you need is the confidence to rule the roost with your compassionate side at the wheel. As a heart-centric Pisces, you’d rather govern with a soft touch than an iron fist. But your emotional approach can also lead people to take advantage of your kindness—and that’s when the “cold fish” crashes to the surface. Sidestep that issue by leaning into Saturn’s structure obsession. Set up clear policies, limits and boundaries. Get every handshake deal you’ve made outlined in a contract. Working with an actual coach or signing up for executive training can bring major growth for you before the year draws to a close.

Another call to revamp comes on Friday, when your ruling planet Neptune slips into its annual retrograde. But this shift is more of an internal, even spiritual, one. From 2012 to 2025, dreamy Neptune is flowing through Pisces, a kismet occurrence that only happens every 165 years. While Saturn is keeping you on point with your goals, flowy Neptune reminds you to simultaneously remain creative and open to esoteric guidance. If a new idea stirs your soul, go explore it! One caveat: While you may be swept up in the rush of a new experience, Neptune doesn’t want you to be contained. Just when you feel like you’ve found something that utterly captivates you, it vanishes, or you lose interest. Allow yourself to drink it all in and feel your way into the right situation (instead of using solely logic to decide). Pretend your life is a movie, and don’t try to micro-manage every scene. You’ll have answers and clarity when this cycle is over in five months, and plenty of time in between to integrate the new aspects of you that will have emerged. Use your intuition and check in with everything that bubbles up to make sure it’s what you want and not what someone else is pressuring you into. You could be susceptible to guru attachment now, whether an actual teacher or a persuasive friend. It could even spark a mini identity crisis or a dance with your shadow side. Don’t worry: Embracing your full self is part of the self-acceptance process. Ultimately, gaining awareness of your own hidden tendencies gives you the ability to act from choice instead of compulsion. Neptune’s backspin is also grooming you as a leader—but more in a trailblazing way. Strengthen the connection you have with your own inner voice over the next five months. Journal, meditate, go on a vision quest. Learn to love your solo time, Pisces, and enjoy the silence. It’s in that “void” where your strongest ideas can emerge.
