Astrology Forecast March 8 – 14, 2021
Today’s Capricorn Moon will present us with a productive day, allowing us to catch up on anything we couldn’t get to last week. Take care though, as things could come undone tomorrow through Wednesday, when the Moon moves into Aquarius and throws a few unexpected twists and turns into the mix.
Thursday through Saturday we’ll drift along under a spiritual Pisces Moon and on Saturday, a New Moon in Pisces will set the stage for the next two weeks. Pisces New Moons aren’t always a call to start new things, as the spiritual tones it carries makes it more viable for setting new intentions and exploring our intuition. This is a great time to use your imagination and be creative, as well as explore new spiritual practices.
The Moon will dance into Aries on Sunday, calling us to delve into the creative sides of our psyches and try new ways of approaching long-standing problems.
With the Astrological New Year and a new season due to arrive next week, this week is the time to evaluate where you stand, where you would like to go, and what your options are for embracing the new energies preparing to unfold. Our collective efforts at building a better society will begin to make more of an impact this month with Mars, the Planet of Action, being in upbeat Gemini since last week, followed by the start of the astrological new year on March 21st. That’s when we’ll start to see greater momentum in our lives and feel like the year has truly kicked off. However, you may already be feeling more energized this week due to the influence of Mars in Gemini.
Astrology Forecast March 1 – 7, 2021
The Libra Moon today and tomorrow urges us to restore balance and reminds us that bringing order to our physical worlds is essential to restore harmony within.
The highlight of this week happens Wednesday when Mars moves into fun-loving Gemini and shifts the focus from our physical worlds to our mental worlds. Mars loves sorting through all the possibilities, sharing ideas, and engaging in fun social activities as it sails through Gemini, which bodes well for a stimulating and exciting month!
The Moon will drift through Scorpio on Wednesday and Thursday, and combined with the Pisces Sun, will add a spiritual tone to all our movements.
Justice and balance will be the theme under Friday and Saturday’s Sagittarius Moon, as we take a closer look at the events surrounding us on a global level. Although we may not be directly involved in what’s going on, it will give us increased awareness of the worldwide energy and focus.
It seems we’ll be ‘goofing off’ all week, so when the Moon moves into Capricorn on Sunday, it’s time to get to work and be productive. So forget about being a couch potato, pull out that “honey-do” list and get some things accomplished.
Astrological Forecast February 22 – 28, 2021
It wouldn’t hurt to keep a low profile this week, as we’ll be under the influence of a waxing Virgo Full Moon. People tend to be critical or nitpick at this time, and there’s always the danger that if you point out to someone else what they are doing wrong, three other people will point out what you are doing wrong! So, lay low, keep your opinions to yourself and just glide along on the quiet and peaceful Pisces energy in the air.
You won’t get much done on Monday or Tuesday as the Moon wades through Cancer, but don’t worry, as you can make up for lost time at the end of the week.
The Leo Moon on Wednesday and Thursday will inspire you to take better care of yourself put yourself first and stay alert to emotional imbalances.
Venus will move into Pisces on Thursday, adding an even more ethereal tone to your days. The Virgo Full Moon on Saturday, also known as the Snow Moon, will call for a release of principles and ideal that no longer serve us.
Based on what we’ve been through over the last 12 months, it’s inevitable that we are now on the threshold of new visions, new ideas, and new realities. But, it also means we’re on the threshold of new possibilities and new potentials.
By The Light Of The Moon
Oh, the Moon! How I love the Moon. What’s not to love? I love watching the moon dance on the lake’s surface outside our home or just to observe it in the night sky. It is so healing to me.
I remember going outside and just basking in the light of the moon. I remember waiting for it to be full and then putting a big bucket of water in the garden. I would let the light of the moon reflect on the surface and I would prop up my feet on either side of this and just go into the alpha state and meditate.
To this day I will wash my precious stones, like my moonstones and agates, with salt water. After that, on a full moon, I will let them absorb the light. I feel it recharges and cleanses them.
I always agreed with the school of thought that the moon affects the fluids in our bodies, just like the tides of the ocean. I also view the moon as a lovely lady who is in charge of our emotions and feelings; she is the ‘bringer of moods’.
Usually you can see her influence very clearly on a full moon. For example, emergency services and police sirens are often more prevalent on the roads, there are more arrests and accidents and people lashing out and doing things they normally wouldn’t dare.
There is much power and control to be found in knowing when the different phases of the moon are, and to have the heads up as to how it affects us. The moon also rules all female physiology; she is the mother of all things which are important and necessary for creating life and nurturing. It virtually has an effect on the growth of all living things, including all plants and animals. I call the moon ‘she’ because of this. She rules over the ‘internal ocean’ that keeps us all alive.
Astrological Forecast January 11 – 17, 2021
You will be up and running early this morning under the diligent Capricorn Moon, plowing through projects at record speed! There’s an additional boost coming tomorrow, as we welcome in a Capricorn New Moon with open arms.
Get done what you can though, as the Moon moves into Aquarius on Wednesday and casts an unpredictable tone to the remainder of the workweek.
Uranus turns retrograde on Thursday, reminding us to be diligent with our new year resolutions, especially those that involve getting healthier, losing weight, and improving our finances.
After a busy busy week, we’ll get to step back and relax under this weekend’s Pisces Moon, as it encourages us to go inward and tend to our spiritual selves.
Meditating, journaling, and venturing out into nature are all great ways to embrace the soulful vibes of this weekend.
Astrological Forecast January 4 – 10, 2021
Back to the grindstone! It could be a bit difficult to get back up and running after all the holiday cheer, but duty calls. Make today all about details, gathering information and making a plan under the Virgo Moon, and then spend tomorrow restoring balance to all aspects of your world, as the Moon dances into Libra.
Wednesday we’ll finally be ready to move as Mars moves into grounded Taurus, making it easy to catch up and start addressing everything that piled up over the holidays.
The trend continues on Thursday, but we may experience a few ups and downs on Friday when Mercury moves into unpredictable Aquarius, and Venus moves into steadfast Capricorn. This could make for a lot of stop and go motion, so practice patience and when one door closes, look for an open window.
The weekend flows along joyfully under the Sagittarius Moon, allowing us a little downtime to regroup, reflect and prepare for the next busy week ahead.
Astrological Forecast December 28, 2020 – January 3, 2021
It’s time to tie up those loose ends and prepare for new beginning as we move into 2021 this week!
Information gathering will be a theme under Monday’s Gemini Moon, as we ground ourselves with the facts and figures we need.
The Cancer full Moon on Tuesday (also known as the Cold Moon) will remind us that putting our family, friends and security first is the way to go as we prepare to exit 2020 and embrace a new cycle. Full Moons are all about releasing, so let’s put closure to the past, make amends where necessary and create a fresh slate before moving into the future.
The New Year arrives under a Leo Moon, reminding us to take better care of ourselves in 2021 with more physical activity, a healthy diet, and watching our budgets.
We can relax until Saturday, but when the Moon moves into Virgo on Sunday, it will be time to pull out those new calendars, update our day-planners, purge our phones of outdated info and phone numbers, and prepare to greet the coming year with open arms and a fresh outlook! Wishing you a safe, prosperous and joyful year, full of hope and love!
