February 18-25, 2024

This week there is a Full Moon In Virgo. The Sun and Mercury move into Pisces, bringing a softer focus which may be a relief after so much energy in the Aquarius sphere of life. Pisces energy reminds us to go with the flow, release, and use our intuition as our guide. If you’re feeling a sense of sacrificing too much for others, pull back and offer yourself some grace and compassion. 

February 18- Sun moves into Pisces. The energy gets a little softer, intuitive, dreamy, creative, compassionate, and sensitive. We may want to look out for indecisiveness or a wishy-washy kind of decision-making process. We may notice a sense of martyrdom or feeling victimized. 

February 19- Chiron conjunct the North Node in Aries. Aries is a sign ruled by Mars–its energy is one of being on the “front line” so we may feel called to take something on, go boldly forward, or face an energy head-on. When we are dealing with Chiron, we are working with healing and wounding. It may be hard to start a healing journey, but it could be harder to let things fester.  

February 22- Venus and Mars conjunct at 6 degrees Aquarius. Back in July, Venus and Mars traveled together in Leo (the sign opposite from Aquarius) and almost made a conjunction, but then Venus retrograded, so maybe there is an echo from that time. Something that didn’t quite take off then may have a chance now or is showing up in a different iteration. This is the quintessential feminine and masculine energies. Mars and Venus just worked intimately with Pluto and now want to work together in some regenerative way. Look within yourself before you look to a relationship to fulfill some internal need. Can you provide it for yourself? Introduce something new to relationships that may feel stale, including the one you have with yourself. 

February 23- Mercury moves into Pisces. Communications soften and could get dreamy. After Mercury’s meet-up with Pluto in Aquarius, where there’s been an edge, there could be a blunting of energy. Pisces is a mutable, water sign, so how can we adapt and shift into an easier flow? We may want to look at how we are listening. Are we listening to hear? Are things getting lost in communication or translation? Don’t be surprised if you forget to email, make a call, send a text, or the like during this time. This could also highlight a sibling story or transportation. 

February 24- Full Moon 5 degrees Virgo. Discernment is one of my favorite Virgo words. Discrimination, shrewdness, perceptiveness, and awareness may be needed. Virgo is a Mercury ruled sign and Mercury just went into the opposite sign of Pisces where Saturn and the Sun are also nearby. Things could get a little soupy, cloudy, or hard to pin down. We may want to reserve judgment or look at ways we need to let go of being judgmental. Full Moons illuminate something that may have been hidden until now. Something has come to fruition and the natural next step is one of release. If you’ve been following the transits, you know that most of the planets are in Aquarius and Pisces. Jupiter and Uranus are nearby in Taurus. The Moon in Virgo is opposite all of these planets, so literally and figuratively, the cheese stands alone. Are you feeling lonely or unmoored? Have you found it hard to get things accomplished? Venus and Mars in Aquarius are in a quincunx to the Moon which suggests some awkwardness or adjustment is needed. The Moon has some support from Jupiter, which offers a trine energy. We may find it helpful to talk to a mentor or friend, to enjoy nature, or to cook a meal with a loved one. A Full Moon is also a great time to read, rest, and/or meditate. 

Venus in Aquarius squares Jupiter in Taurus at 10 degrees: We could all use a little infusion of beauty and kindness. How can you create it around you if you’re not witnessing or experiencing it? A square talks about stress or a need for something to change. Be the change you’ve been looking for. Relationships can bring meaningful connections and a sense of purpose. 

**My intention with these weekly astrology reports is something like looking at a weather app. If you know it will rain, you’ll bring an umbrella. Awareness can help us navigate the Astro “weather” too. I  hope to share this information in an easily digestible way (not too much jargon).  Please read this information knowing that these energies can appear in higher or lower forms. Even though I may give specific dates for the exact aspects, you could feel the energies a few days before or after as the aspects form and separate. These are all based on EST times.
