As of March 7 the asteroid Pallas will enter Pisces, bringing to light all matters pertaining to skills, strategies, activism, and the intuition that guides or derails you in your pursuits. Pallas (short for Pallas Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom) demands that we walk the talk–or change the talk once and for all. But what does Pallas’s March placement mean for your sun sign specifically, and how can you make the most of this powerful transit?
The entry of Pallas into Pisces on the the 7th will compel you to rethink your strategies for success. As the youngest of the zodiac signs, you may find yourself struggling with the older, more elusive Piscean influences of this transit. Push through your impatience and frustration, Aries, and use this period to pause, reflect, and proceed with a more temperate mindset.
2. Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
The past year may have pumped the brakes on your progress, Taurus, but that hardly spells defeat in the stars. We have all had to reassess the practicality of our dreams, as well as the strategies we’ve put in place for achieving our goals. You may have been laid low but Pallas is, above all, an agent of change. Take a page from the celestial fish and have faith in the course you have set for yourself.
3. Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
One hardly needs to encourage Gemini to put themselves out there, as the astrological twins thrive on networking and communication. You’re famous for your ability to keep multiple balls in the air at a time, but Pallas’s Piscean arrival may gently ask that you drop a few that are only distracting you from your true purpose, and the people who matter more than the noise.
4. Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Pallas represents quiet, controlled strength, which is already a notable Cancerian trait. You have been quietly strategizing and getting your affairs in order, quietly dissolving relationships that no longer fortify you and devoting your energy to pursuits that promise something more substantial. Keep going Cancer, and use the shimmery Piscean placement of Pallas to delve deeper than ever before without saying a word.
5. Leo (July 23 – August 22)
The cosmic lion is no stranger to trials and tribulations, and you’ve borne your lot with the dignity and resolve that is the Leonine trademark. Happiest when you’re the center of attention, you’ve had to take a backseat socially in the past year to tend to your issues behind the scenes. As Pallas approaches Pisces expect a very unexpected gift that may feel as though it came out of nowhere, but is actually the result of hard work and diligence.
6. Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
While Pallas typically represents our skills, strategies, and powers of adaptation, its placement in Pisces draws a hard line between fact and fiction, truth and illusion, and asks some pretty tough questions in the interim. What are your true talents and what, conversely, have you been deluding yourself about? What part have you played in the course your life has taken, and what can you do to turn it around once and for all. By finally breaking up with the ideas you’ve held about yourself, Virgo, you can at last step into your true identity.
7. Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The arrival of Pallas in Pisces will only enhance the outcome of those deep, life-turning changes you’ve made over the past year. No matter how tough the going gets, Libra, you always try to maintain a diplomatic graciousness–you know only too well what burning bridges gets you: a lot of smoke and fewer allies. This month, however, Pallas is urging you to reevaluate your loyalties. Who among your peers is *really* on your side, and are some of the relationships you’ve been devoting yourself to worth the amiability on your part?
8. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
The celestial scorpion is a fighter through and through, and it’s safe to say the first half of 2021 may feel like nothing but battle after battle. Personally and professionally you’ve been feeling unusually vulnerable, if not under attack, but remember that none of this is happening for no reason. As Pallas sails into your fellow water sign Pisces you are being called to answer for actions from the recent past and absolve yourself through intuition, rather than strategy. This isn’t something you can bully or manipulate your way out of, Scorpio.
9. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You have been feeling restless and anxious in recent months–more than usual, that is. The ancient archer thrives on action and adventure, and current domestic obligations have left you feeling sidelined. Depending on the sign of entry, Pallas can be a herald of swift change or necessary reflection. The latter may be agonizing for you, Sag, but do use the time to do some deep inner work and affect change from within before pursuing it in the outside world.
10. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
One of the hardest-working signs in the zodiac, you’ve stretched yourself as thin as possible over the past year, Capricorn. You can’t rest easy unless you feel in control of all aspects of your life, from finances to career goals and even personal relationships, but Pallas’s arrival in Pisces may throw an unexpected wild card into your stratagem. This isn’t intended as a punishment, but a lesson in fluidity. After all, learning to adapt to change, rather than resisting it, is a powerful skill.
11. Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Much like Cancer, you’ve gone quiet lately and all but retreated from your former social presence. Events of the past year have taken you on a journey, Aquarius, and what better sign to process the cosmic knowledge you’ve gained? The highly philosophical water bearer is often earmarked as the astrological eccentric, but trust that Pallas is pointing you in the right direction as both student and teacher.
12. Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
While Pallas has heightened the awareness of all twelve signs of the zodiac, its entry into your sign on March 7 may feel especially intense. “Transformative” could very well be the best word to describe the past six months for you, Pisces, as you’ve undergone awakenings that take multiple lives for many to achieve. Now is the time to put all that you’ve learned into action, without fear or hesitation.
