Astrology Forecast March 6 – 12, 2023
We’ll have two important astrological events occurring tomorrow. The Moon waxes full in Virgo and Saturn moves into Pisces.
Full moons call for release, and being in the sign of Virgo, tomorrow’s Full Moon is preparing us to leave the winter season behind (summer in the southern hemisphere) and begin to set our sights on the new season ahead. Also, a Virgo Full Moon tends to make us moody, confused, irritable and even argumentative, so focus on keeping calm.
Saturn changes signs approximately every two years, so the last time it transitioned was in 2020, around the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, when it entered Aquarius for the past two years. During this period we witnessed sudden changes, unsual restrictions, and profound inventiveness, all hallmarks of this sign. As Saturn now ventures into Pisces for another two-year stay, we are likely to see the spiritual purpose and reasons for the global pandemic and increasingly align ourselves with the changes it brought about. This will also herald the start of a new cycle of growth and understanding.
Our most productive days of the week will be today and tomorrow under the Virgo Moon, while we’ll focus on balance Wednesday through Friday as the Moon travels through Libra.
Friday evening is not recommended as a date night, as the Libra Moon square with Pluto in Capricorn may cause us to be emotionally volatile and even aggressive. It may be best to spend a quiet evening at home. Also, avoid discussing finances with your significant other, as an argument is very likely to ensue. Foretunately, we can expect a quiet and mellow weekend under a free-flowing Scorpio Moon.
Astrology Forecast February 27 – March 5, 2023
Today and tomorrow is a great time for important conversations and implementing dynamic ideas as the Moon speeds through Gemini, accelerating our intellect and negotiation skills. Brainstorming and working with a team will ensure the most productive outcomes. It is also an opportune time to get things off your chest, or share your feelings more openly to create better understanding in your work and personal relationships.
However, keep your attitude and temper in check tonight, as the Gemini Moon’s conjunction with Mars may cause us to be impatient, irritable, and even aggressive. Also, refrain from arrogant rhetoric, boasting about yourself, and participating in gossip, as this lunar aspect can tempt even the most sweet-tempered ‘pollyanna’ into acting like a high school ‘mean girl.’
Once the Moon moves into Cancer on Wednesday, followed by Mercury’s shift into Pisces on Thursday, things will seem to stall and could get a bit blurry. Mercury doesn’t sit very well in water signs and when it is in Pisces we tend to feel torn between heart and mind, so practice extra caution with your words and actions.
Thursday’s evening Cancer Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces offers a lovely opportunity for artistic expression and spiritual practice. It will be a wonderful time for creating art, composing music, meditation, journaling, or reading tarot cards.
The remainder of the week will glow more brightly under the Leo Moon, and though we may not get much done, we’ll celebrate the wonder of our lives on a deeper soul level.
Astrology Forecast February 20 – 26, 2023
The week starts with a Pisces New Moon and Venus moving into Aries today.
New Moons herald a time of new beginnings, and in Pisces the focus ison spiritual advancement, and expanded views of the physical world and metaphysical realms as they relate to each other.
Venus loves to show off in Aries, so get ready to express yourself! And be prepared for others to act with more drama and flair than usual.
Tomorrow afternoon’s Pisces Moon conjunction with Neptune in Pisces can cause us to be nervous and hypersensitive. Some grounding and centering energy work is advised. On the upside the dreamy, poetic energies of this aspect is also ideal for journaling and artistic self-expression, so if you have been lacking inspiration lately this mid-day transit may be just the muse you have been waiting for.
Wednesday the Moon dashes into Aries, which will get us up and running! Creative ideas abound under this Moon, as well as accelerated energy to help us move through the mid-week with determination and ambition.
Friday and Saturday are all about the material world as the Moon cruises through Taurus. Making a real dent in home projects or implementing new self-care practices will be a theme for many of us.
Reserve Sunday for social media activities, as the Gemini Moon inspires more time online. Updating your news feed, doing zoom calls, and good old-fashioned in-person gabfests are likely to be on the agenda.
Astrology Forecast February 13 – 19, 2023
The imaginative, dreamy idealism of a Scorpio Moon trine with Neptune in Pisces this morning is a great opportunity to boost your usual spiritual practice. Make use of this inspirational moment to meditate on your goals and set new intentions. It is also a great time to pray, do meaningful crystal energy work, or consult your favorite oracle card deck.
However, do take care today, as the Scorpio Moon might also be casting illusions and misunderstandings our way. Be mindful of what you read and hear, but also take everything with a grain of salt. Do your research before reacting or moving in any direction. Stay calm and act sensibly, as the Scorpio Half Moon has the power to plunge us into drama at work, public disagreements, and conflict with our loved ones.
A lighter vibe prevails tomorrow and Wednesday under the Sagittarius Moon, casting a productive, yet balanced energy.
If you have any heavy lifting to do this week, or projects that urgently need to be completed, then Thursday and Friday are the best days to accomplish those tasks, as the Capricorn Moon exudes diligence and drive.
The Sun moves into Pisces on Saturday, so we will be spending the next four weeks in a more spiritual, mystical state of mind. Exploring our inner lives more deeply and investigating the metaphysical will be more prevalent. Also, as the final sign of the zodiac before a new cycle begins, this will be the time to wrap things up, review the past year from a spiritual perspective, and resolve long-standing issues in the area of health, wealth, and relationships. This is also a time when secrets may come out, so if you’re hiding any, be extra careful, or they might end up on the evening news!
The weekend’s socially-oriented Aquarius Moon promotes, unity, friendship, and catching up with loved ones.
Astrology Forecast February 6 – 12, 2023
This week’s cosmic energy is all about the mind, including new ideas and alternative ways of looking at things, that will lead us to bigger and better things. We won’t need to re-invent the wheel, but we should consider new uses for old objects, reorganizing our stale schedules and goals, and implement better energy flow in our home with a mini-remodel or feng shui project.
This morning’s Leo Moon opposite Saturn in Aquarius could cause no end of trouble at home, so keep a low profile and stay calm. This opposition is notorious for inspiring arguments and drama, especially regarding the children and household finances.
The Moon travels through Virgo later today until Wednesday, expanding our mental capacity and boosting our organizational skills. We will need to take care not to be too idealistic or overly critical. Expressing our opinions calmly, while remaining open to the ideas of others, will pay off handsomely!
Thursday and Friday are all about balance and equilibrium under the Libra Moon. The keyword here is vision. A great idea may land in your lap, but think it through for a few days before you jump to implement it.
The only significant planetary shift this week is Mercury’s electric transit into Aquarius on Saturday. Combined with this weekend’s Scorpio Moon and the Sun currently in Aquarius, it will inspire new insights, intuitions, and impossible dreams that are sure to catch our fancy. However, be prepared for possible delays in communication and travel Saturday afternoon due to the Scorpio Moon square with Mercury in Aquarius. Be especially careful not to get lost if travelling, and make sure you send that email or text to correct person!
Astrology Forecast January 30 – February 5, 2023
The Gemini Moon will have us very focused on social and intellectual pursuits today and tomorrow, as we search for creative ways to change up our routines and think outside of the box. Gemini lunar energy boosts our curiosity, innovative thinking and the desire for novelty. It is a great time or learning new things, networking, creative ideas and charismatic communication.
Keep your feelings in check around midday today, as the Gemini Moon square Venus in Pisces may pave the way for irritability, emotional outbursts, and arguments. It will especially be the worst possible time to get into a quarrel with your mother-in-law!
This afternoon’s Gemini Moon sextile with Jupiter in Aries will be an ideal time for business opportunities and making money, so make that call or send that marketing email!
If there’s anything you need to get done this week at work or in your business, do it before Wednesday, as things will then slow down significantly for the rest of the work week due to the Moon’s ethereal transit through Cancer. Use the second half of the week instead to reconnect with loved ones and practice some much needed self-care.
The weekend’s Leo Moon will inspire our generosity. Make an effort to unite with others in a common goal of charity and reach out to those in need. Sunday’s Full Moon in Leo will inspire energies of surrender and release, so clear out those closets and get things ready for the donation center, or journal to let go of the past and anything that is holding you back from living in the moment and confidently moving forward.
Astrology Forecast January 23 – 29, 2023
After all the cosmic upheaval of last week’s planetary shifts, you may be pleased to know that this week starts out on a much calmer note under a Waxing Crescent Pisces Moon.
A waxing crescent moon phase is a hopeful and positive time to recover, restore and rebuild, and in Pisces this becomes an especially healing energy to release what does not serve us. Fully embrace this harmonious, restorative, liberating vibration today and tomorrow, because on Wednesday the fiery Aries Moon will spur us back into action.
The Aries Moon will offer a great time for the rest of the work week until Friday for brainstorming, making big plans, putting new ideas into action, and energetic negotiation. The Aries Moon conjunction with Jupiter in Aries on Wednesday bodes especially well for potential financial gains, ambitious action, and enhanced social influence. Wednesday morning will therefore be the best time this week for promoting your services, selling your products, and striking those deals!
Venus will be moving into Pisces on Thursday, turning our focus to magic, fantasy, and all things metaphysical. Our intuitions will be on higher alert, and following those random hunches could pay off handsomely over the next four weeks!
The weekend unfolds under a Taurus Moon, where we can choose to tackle the clutter at home, or simply drop on the couch and catch up on all those binge-worthy TV shows we’ve been wanting to stream. Or perhaps a more sensible mixture of both?. Either way, the weekend is for regrouping, restoring, and relaxing, so make the most of the homely vibes of Taurus comfort and security.
