Friday, February 26th - The Libra moon is quite active early on today, forming several transits in a row all before 6am EST. We see a moon/Saturn sextile, a moon/Pluto square, moon/Mercury trine and moon/Uranus opposition. It may feel a bit as though you are being jerked around. Emotions could fluctuate this morning and into the afternoon. Things feel a bit more chaotic than they actually are. A lot can be accomplished if you are able to take a step back, breathe and approach things with a fresh outlook.
The moon is void of course from 6:18am EST for the remainder of the day. The evening moves a bit slower and is better for unwinding. Mercury and Uranus are in sextile tonight, which brings interesting ideas to the forefront. Writing and communication are favored. Collaborate with those whose perspectives you respect. It is an excellent night for working with others to think outside the box.

Saturday, February 27th - The moon exits its void at 6:26am EST and enters Scorpio. It is a very slow day astrologically, which is welcome after the whirlwind week we've had post full moon. Slow down and take it easy, if you can. Even if your day is full of plans, breathe deep and move through them with grace. The Scorpio moon gives us intense focus, which allows us to be truly present every step of the way today (should we try).
Mercury and Jupiter are inconjunct later this afternoon, which may create some communication snafus. Traveling delays or confusion could come up for some. Misplacing objects is likely.

Sunday, February 28th - Early in the morning, the moon trines the Sun and Neptune. Creativity and compassion are increased. Any difficulties with others can be smoothed out a little easier today. The Sun and Neptune are in conjunction this morning at 10:46am EST, the effects of which we've been feeling all weekend (and will continue to feel for the next couple of days). This is a highly creative, productive time. Ideas flow almost automatically and are highly inspired. Utilize these days to work on projects you care about. Blockages are worked through; it is almost as if we all have a new set of eyes this week.
The moon moves through a number of transits today, squaring Venus, sextiling Pluto and Jupiter and trining Chiron. Focus is increased, and passion is at an all time high. Be careful not to become possessive of those you care about, as the Venus square and Scorpio moon heighten any insecurities in romance. Explore and create today, and work with others to reach mutual goals.

Monday, February 29th - The Scorpio moon squares Mercury this morning, which could create some difficulties in understanding where others are coming from. Possessiveness could come up for some, particularly those on the "fixed" signs axis (Scorpio, Aquarius, Taurus, Leo). Mercury and the North Node are inconjunct at exactly 3:26am EST, though this energy carries forth into the whole day. Communication is just slightly off today for most. It may be better to get points across via action rather than through words. The possibility of misunderstandings is greater than it will be later in the week.
The moon conjuncts Mars this afternoon before moving void of course at 2:55pm EST. A quick burst of energy comes through. Many will get a second wind. The void period is fairly short today, only lasting until 6:26pm EST when the moon enters Sagittarius.
Tonight Venus and Saturn are in sextile at exactly 8:06pm EST. Commitments to romantic partners deepen. It is a good time to consider future plans with those you care about (this can extend to friendship or work relationships as well).

Tuesday, March 1st - Today is fairly quiet. The moon squares Neptune and the Sun this afternoon, and those are the only major aspects we see. Restless energy will come up for many. This is less of a daydreamy type of day, however, and will be more centered around needing to expend physical energy. Stay active in whatever way you can. Keep your brain and body moving, and eat healthy over the course of the day. Forcing yourself to sit still for too long may bring up tempers or annoyances with other people. The Sagittarius moon is a mover and a shaker and wants fun and adventure. If you are stuck at work or school or some other necessary part of the routine, do what you can to make things a little different... take a walk on your lunch break, talk to someone new, make fun plans for the evening.

Wednesday, March 2nd - Wow, today is an extremely active day for the moon! This morning the Sagittarius moon will conjunct Saturn, sextile Venus, trine Uranus, square Jupiter and square Chiron... all before 10am EST! It will be a little easier to focus, despite the amount of transits happening. Saturn gives us more attention to detail, and Venus and Uranus offer far-reaching inspiration and an eye for beauty. Jupiter and Chiron may bring up some past insecurities, so be sure to stay in the present. Issues that arise today may not be rooted in anything that is actually going on right now.
This afternoon, the moon squares the North Node and later sextiles Mercury. It may be easier to learn information that was difficult to absorb earlier in the week. Teaching and studying are both favored tonight. Venus and Uranus are in sextile today, the effects of which we'll feel for the next day or two. It is easy to think outside the box. Artistic and creative efforts will be more inspired and rewarding. It is a good time to switch up your look or redecorate your home.
The moon moves void of course at 9:55pm EST, where it will stay until tomorrow morning.

Thursday, March 3rd - The moon exits its void at 5:01am EST and enters Capricorn. Any wanderlust or restless energy can be channeled into something direct today. Venus and Jupiter are inconjunct this morning, and this could create misunderstandings in group work or partnerships. Work alone if you must, and make great strides toward any goals that have seemed hard to attain over the past month.
The moon sextiles Neptune tonight, which amplifies compassion and empathy. Reach out to those you care about and show them what they mean to you. Spirituality is heightened tonight, making it an excellent time for meditation, prayer or ritual, or whatever is meaningful for you.
