This week’s astrology forecast: February 17th – 23rd
Message for the week:
A rather quiet week in the heavens with only a few planetary aspects. The main theme is that the Sun will be moving into Pisces Tuesday, joining Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, and the North Node in the final sign of the zodiac. With five signatures in one sign, Pisces becomes the dominant theme this week. The two fishes of Pisces tell the story—one swimming on the surface interacting with the world, and the other fish swimming deep within.
How skilled you are at moving between these two realms will determine your well-being this week. Can you create healthy, nurturing introspective activities? Reading certain books, listening to certain music, all spiritual activities are healthy inward turning activities. The seed bed of all creativity also requires inward musing time.
The other big news this week is that Mars will be turning direct after being retrograde for the last two and a half months—whew! If you have been finding it hard to make progress while Mars was retrograde, requiring many do overs, you will love Mars moving forward—your efforts will no longer be impeded.
All in all, a good week to find your emotional center and replenish your spirit. Gather your energy and prepare for a big push as Mars turns direct by the end of the week.
Monday: A smooth day with some emotional turbulence tonight. The Moon starts the day in harmony-seeking Libra in a harmonious trine to the Sun in Aquarius. This is excellent for all cooperative endeavors and relationships. The Moon enters deep-seeking Scorpio this afternoon and squares volcanic Pluto tonight, bringing some disturbing information to light—maybe in your dreams.
Tuesday: The Sun enters watery Pisces today—Pisces is at its best when it goes with the flow rather than asserting itself. The Moon is in intimacy-seeking Scorpio in a flowing trine to Mercury, opening the door for deep, meaningful conversations. The Moon does form quincunxes with both Venus and Jupiter distracting the mind with stupid questions—best not to make up problems that don’t exist.
Wednesday: The Moon is in insightful Scorpio in a Grand Trine with both Mars and Saturn to start the day, fortifying emotional strength—trust your discernment. The peaceful, easy feeling may get disrupted this afternoon, while the Moon is opposite to unpredictable Uranus—something out of the blue can require you to adjust your plans.
Thursday: Mercury is square to Jupiter today, making one vulnerable to feeling overwhelmed from taking on too much. The Moon enters optimistic Sagittarius this morning in a square to the Sun in Pisces—adding a bit of sluggish emotional energy. Emotions clear and the upbeat Sagittarian energy prevails as the day unfolds, with the Moon in a stimulating sextile to transformative Pluto and trine to lovely Venus tonight.
Friday: An upbeat, positive day that could only be marred by impatience or overplanning, with the Moon in enthusiastic Sagittarius in a T-Square with Jupiter and Mercury. Take half the things you are considering for today and focus there to get the best of this excessively positive energy. The Moon does square Saturn in the early evening, putting some pressure on you to clear some obstacle before enjoying the evening.
Saturday: A good day for lounging around and chillin,’ with the Moon in Sagittarius square to dreamy Neptune. You may find yourself daydreaming or remembering summer vacations—a good day for entertainment. You will feel your feet on the ground by this afternoon as the Moon enters “down to earth” Capricorn and plans begin to solidify.
Sunday: This is the golden day of the week with Mercury making a harmonious trine to Mars, and Mars turning direct. This enhances communication as it is easier to express how you really feel. Mars turning direct takes the brakes off and you can now act without reservation. The Moon is in productive Capricorn square to Venus this morning and opposite Mars late tonight—enjoy the magnetic distractions that pull you away from projects.
