Weekly Forecast: 2/20/23 through 2/26/23

 

Monday, February 20th ~ Today the moon is in Pisces all day long, and we have our New Moon in Pisces occurring at 2:05am EST. This is an extremely intuitive New Moon that connects us with our higher self, and deepens the connection to self love and compassion. While it may be easier to feel expanded love for others during this time, much of the work today is centered around turning that back to yourself. Do something nice for yourself, find a nice word of encouragement for yourself, and try to envision what you might be like from a higher being's perspective. Venus moves into Aries today at 2:55am EST; it will be here in this fire sign until March 16th. We may enjoy being more direct and impulsive in relationships during this time. Venus is highly sexual and passionate in this sign, and brings a lot of energy to the table. Creative ideas flow out without much planning. Action is the key word here, and there is little time spent pondering; rather, we leap into action and see what shakes up. The Pisces moon goes on to sextile its North Node at 9:43am EST, which awakens us to higher possibilities. It becomes easier to envision our ideal situation. Finally, Mercury sextiles Chiron at 11:59am EST, the last major transit of the day. This is a helpful transit for breaking through self-consciousness around our voice, communication style, or fears of being misunderstood. Healing comes in and allows us to feel safer and more supported in being honest, direct, and true to ourselves.

Tuesday, February 21st ~ We have another full day with the moon in Pisces, still in its dark phase as we come off yesterday's New Moon. The moon sextiles Uranus at 12:19am and squares Mars at 1:43am EST. We could feel our emotions shifting and cycling rapidly today. As the moon moves into conjunction with Neptune at 2:51pm EST, there may be a tendency to get lost in daydreams or seek escape from reality in some manner. Mercury squares Uranus at 5:22pm EST, though we feel this building for a few hours beforehand. You may notice people being somewhat unpredictable in speech and decision making. Some may seek to shock or surprise others through the things they say. Later, the moon sextiles Pluto at 11:05pm EST before moving void of course for about an hour. This intensifies our focus and helps to bring us back to center. We seek to transform our emotional state rather than run from it. The astrology is a little tricky today; stay grounded and keep focusing on your breathing. It is a good day to do a guided meditation.

Wednesday, February 22nd ~ The moon moves into Aries at 12:13am EST and brings a shakeup of energy almost immediately. Today is quite different from yesterday and is more fiery, bold, and direct in its presentation. The moon conjuncts Venus at 4:25am EST which brings a need for intimate contact with others, and also helps us to find harmony in relationships and creative projects. Mercury trines Mars at 3:13pm EST which is a useful aspect for being clear and upfront in our communications with others. There is little question as to where we stand. The moon goes on to conjunct Jupiter at 5:48pm and conjunct Chiron at 10:55pm EST. We get excited to try new things, adventuring and exploring either in a literal way or in a more internal way like getting lost in a good book that inspires and uplifts us. The moon/Chiron conjunction brings emotional healing that helps to boost self-confidence and can aid in bringing us a feeling of safety in our own skin.

Thursday, February 23rd ~ Today is relatively quiet astrologically. We have the moon in bold, independent Aries all day, bringing more of a need to let our emotions come out as they arise but then cool off just as fast. The moon sextiles Mars at 4:44am EST which assists in boosting physical energy. At the same time, we may notice we are quite impatient and want to just get on with it! Small tasks like waiting in line or in traffic can feel extra frustrating. If we are free to go at the pace we want, we'll feel inspired and enthusiastic. The moon goes on to sextile Mercury at 6:02am EST, the last major transit of the day. This increases sociability and also allows for improved communication. It is easier to say what we mean with little confusion or misinterpretation from others. The rest of the day is celestially quiet, allowing for a brief break to reconnect with your own natal energy or personal transits.

Friday, February 24th ~ Today begins with the Aries moon sextile Saturn at 1:05am EST, boosting ambition and our need to see tangible results in some area of our lives. The moon squares Pluto at 2:21am EST and then moves void of course for just over an hour. Frustrations could arise, particularly around having to wait to reach a goal. Taking time to put work in and reaching only one step at a time could feel somewhat annoying. Try your best to enjoy the process rather than only looking at the end result. The moon's void ends at 3:29am EST as it enters Taurus. Here we find ourselves more grounded, seeking out emotional comfort and familiarity. The Sun sextiles the North Node of the moon at 1:01pm EST, and the moon conjuncts the North Node soon after at 1:57pm EST. These transits show us a new path. It is enticing and exciting, but could also feel somewhat frightening to go down this road as its energy is unlike anything we've experienced before. There is a good chance that this path is in alignment with your higher calling, as the Sun is positively interacting with the North Node today and inviting us to take on something that is linked to our destiny and higher self. Trust your intuition above all else today. Finally, the moon enters its Waxing Crescent phase at 2:01pm EST. The increasing light brings more extroversion and optimism as we begin to get excited about the future and all it has in store.

Saturday, February 25th ~ The moon is exalted in the sign of Taurus all day, bringing a need to listen to music which uplifts us. Taurus rules over sound and music, and so when the moon is in this sign we feel increased comfort and enjoyment when we listen to or sing our favorite songs. We may also notice ourselves becoming more inspired. The moon conjuncts Uranus today at 7:24am EST, which allows us to take a step back from heavy emotions and look at them through a more removed lens. Objective problem solving leads to a shake up and possible solution to stagnant problems which keep circling back around. The moon squares Mercury later on at 7:15pm EST; it's not the best time to talk things out with others as we may find ourselves tripping over words or misconstruing what is said. Rather, get clear on your wishes and intentions first before trying to rush into a hard conversation.

Sunday, February 26th ~ Today starts with the Taurus moon sextiling Neptune at 12:15am EST. Imagination soars and we seek out connection with the artistic muse. It's a creative day that assists all in art, story telling, and more abstract means of thinking. The moon squares Saturn at 8:45am EST. While we may feel a need to be responsible, logical, or more linear in our thought process, the astrology is not supportive of this today. It is easier to daydream, paint outside the lines, and enjoy hobbies and outlets that involve a little more fantasy. The moon trines Pluto at 9:42am EST and then moves void of course for about an hour. This is a powerful transit which allows us to step up emotionally and be there for those in need. You may need to make a sudden decision related to the care of another. The moon's void windows this past week have been very brief which can leave us wanting more rest and time to recuperate. The moon ingresses Gemini at 10:47am EST which allows for conversations to flow more easily. The mind becomes more active and curious. The rest of the day is free from transits, giving us a pause from celestial interference.
