The Sun is in Pisces from Feb. 18 to March 20. Pisces are dreamy water signs. According to Astro Poets, Pisces are old souls since they are the last of the zodiac. They love to dive deep beneath the surface and tend to rely on their intuition to make decisions. Pisces are compassionate with a vivid imagination.
A Pisces can keep their head in the clouds literally and figuratively in Albuquerque. Here’s a Pisces’ guide to Albuquerque.
What to Do
Experience the dreamy tranquility of floating above Albuquerque in a hot air balloon. Many ballooning companies in Albuquerque offer rides year-round. For another view from above, hop aboard the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway to experience the thrill of soaring to the top of the Sandia Mountains. Gain a fresh perspective on the city while more than 3,800 feet above it.
To tap into the imagination of a Pisces, tour the workshop at Pimentel Guitars, Music & Entertainment. Run by the Pimentel family, they build guitars, ukuleles, mandolins and more entirely by hand, creating one-of-a-kind instruments. For a more hands-on artistic experience, take a glass blowing class at Aurora Borealis Glassworks. Learn how to make a glass ornament or stained glass artwork.
Where to Eat
Get lost in a daydream with an interactive dining experience at Electric Playhouse. Here, you can book a Teatime in Wonderland experience to fall down the rabbit hole and watch as the world of “Alice in Wonderland” comes to life. Dine at Wolf ‘n’ Swallow for small plates featuring scratch-made charcuterie and a variety of indulgent specials.
For a more down-to-earth but just as delicious meal, pop over to Sammy’s Cafe & Deli. Choose from a selection of breakfast items and sandwiches to get your day started on the right foot. Urbanmama505 offers delicious kombucha brewed in-house to give you a boost through the end of the day.
Where to Stay
The elevated elegance of Hotel Chaco will appeal to a Pisces’ desire to dive deeper. Hotel Chaco is inspired by Native American culture, with a collection of artwork created by contemporary Native American artists. Dine at Level 5 Rooftop Restaurant at sunset to watch the Sandia Mountains turn pink in the fading light.
For a kitschier stay that is still steeped in history, book a room at Monterey Motel. This refurbished Route 66 motel is the perfect mix of modern and vintage. Grab a nightcap at the on-site Momo Lounge that serves local spirits and craft cocktails.
