This Week’s Astrology
Tuesday, February 22: Exact U.S. Pluto Return (first of three this year)
Pisces Season began on Friday, and it feels so fitting for the exact U.S. Pluto Return looming on Tuesday. In popular astrology, Pisces is a sign that’s pigeonholed as the dreamy intuitive. Definitely true! But the missing piece of that reductive description is that it's also the last sign of the zodiac.
Pisces energy marks a true and complete dissolution of the self so that we may be reborn. But you can’t reach the end and transcend (Neptune) until you’ve harvested the deepest, darkest, truths (Pluto).

I realized several nights ago that 2-22-22 is significant for me personally.
I had been aware of the date since 2020 when I started researching the U.S. Pluto Return. Of course I liked all the repeating numbers, and because of my numerology background I appreciated that it would mark such a powerful astrological moment for my home country. But up until this month, I didn’t tie anything in my own life to it.
Actually, I decided to not do anything intentional on 2-22-22, because I’m a bit* fatigued by all the angel number hype and knew it would be a crowded day in the spiritual community.
*This is a drastic understatement of my spectrum of unnecessary but regular annoyance-rage
But, of course…angels find us when we least expect it (and maybe especially when we try to avoid them).
I was writing before bed and had this sudden insight that I needed to know exactly how long I had been sober. When I began the journey last June, I was hyper aware of every single day that passed…but within the past couple months, it’s blessedly become second nature (dare I say, like a lifestyle?).
I looked back at all the dates and times of things I obsessively track and figured out that 2-22-22 will be exactly one magical day longer than the longest period I’ve ever been sober.
This Tuesday will mark the longest amount of time I’ve gone without drinking or doing drugs since I was a teenager.
In my teens and early twenties I partied as a way to escape pain and feel accepted by the “cool” crowd, and more recently I believed that altered states could be a passageway to awakening…but I’m learning that the process of awakening itself becomes the altered state (!!!). RESULT.
I’ll fully dive into my experience with sobriety in a later newsletter, but for now I’ll just say I couldn’t be happier to be addressing life head on rather than trying to escape the work that defines it.
I was also planning on sharing a documentary series with y’all this week that I can’t wait to watch. It’s called “Changing of the Gods” and you can sign-up for the episodes to be delivered for free, straight to your inbox, HERE.**
**Definitely not sponsored. Just generally excited about this professional docuseries that’s been many years in the making.
It’s coming out this Tuesday, the same day I’m celebrating a sort of changing of the gods in my own life.
Maybe you’ll find that 2-22-22 can be an opportunity for you, too, to reveal where you’re no longer willing to give your power away, and let it symbolize a decision to do things differently.
There’s enough information circulating about the U.S. Pluto Return already, and you can check out last week’s newsletter if you want a little more. But my goal continues to be to make the occult more personal.
Yes, it’s an ongoing reckoning for the United States, but if you live here…it’s also happening to YOU.
Rather than doing something on 2-22-22 because a 20-year-old on the Internet told you it’s a mystical portal that will transport you to the 5D on a uNiCoRn while instantaneously opening your third eye...just try to witness what’s slowly becoming uncovered in your life. What’re you ready to change?
Until next week’s magic,
Erin River Sunday
