An Unforgettable Valentine’s Day With Venus In Pisces
Valentine’s Day always has an air of magic about it, but this year it has an extra layer of fateful intensity. The stuff of fairy tales and romance novels!
With Venus, the planet of love and beauty, currently transiting dreamy and ethereal Pisces, love takes on a soulful, almost otherworldly quality.
The energies of love and romance are heightened under this transit, making every interaction feel much deeper, more meaningful, more destiny and fate. Our love lives are infused with an unprecedented sense of compassion, emotional depth, and spiritual connection.
Romantic intuition is heightened during this time, and connections feel more like destiny than chance. The energy of attraction shifts from the physical to the ethereal, making love feel transcendent, poetic, and deeply moving.
Whether you’re in a relationship or meeting someone new, expect emotions and passion to run deep. Every new interaction will be special, every glance charged with meaning, and every intimate moment may feel like divine orchestration.
If you find yourself unexpectedly drawn to someone this Valentine’s Day, or in the coming weeks, trust that it’s not just coincidence. Venus in Pisces is busy weaving a tapestry of soul connections, heightened intuition, and chemistry that transcends the ordinary. This transit is a time when love is more than an experience — it is transcendental.
A word of caution, though. With the passion of Venus and dreamy nature of Pisces, it’s also important to stay grounded during this transit. The enchantment of Venus in Pisces can lead to unrealistic expectations or longing for unattainable love. If you find yourself caught up in a romantic fantasy or longing for an unavailable person, take a step back and get back in touch with reality.
Astrology Forecast February 10 – 16, 2025
The week begins with a shift in the emotional atmosphere as the Moon moves into bold and expressive Leo today. This transit awakens our inner performer, urging us to step into the spotlight and lead with confidence.
However, Mercury in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus brings unexpected twists to communication and plans. Sudden insights or disruptions can push us to think outside the box, but they can also create tension if we cling too tightly to old ways of doing things. Stay flexible and embrace unpredictability; it’s an opportunity to innovate.
As the Moon in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius later today, deep emotional currents may come to the surface. We may feel torn between our need for personal expression and the collective pressures or changes taking place around us. This opposition can intensify power struggles or intense emotions, so stay grounded and avoid impulsive reactions. The energy invites you to relinquish control and trust the process of renewal.
Tonight, the Moon’s sesquiquadrate to Saturn in Pisces adds a sobering tone, urging us to reflect on boundaries and responsibility. Later, the mood will brighten as the Moon in Leo trines Venus in Aries, sparking moments of warmth, charm, and connection. This alignment favors romantic encounters, creative endeavors, and heartfelt interactions.
A Full Moon in Leo graces the skies on Wednesday, spotlighting your individuality, creativity, and heart-centered desires. This lunation is a powerful time to step into your authentic self, release any self-doubt, and celebrate your unique gifts, especially as it opposes the Sun in Aquarius, signaling a time to examine and release anything that stands in the way of our progress and dreams. Letting go of outdated ideas, cultivating an open mind, and seeking new approaches to old problems will be the order of the day.
Astrology Forecast February 3 – 9, 2025
The day begins with the Aries Moon forming a quintile with Mercury in Aquarius, igniting us with fresh ideas and innovative thinking. Conversations and brainstorming sessions are energized, making today a fantastic time to tackle creative projects or find original solutions to lingering problems to kick off the week.
The ensuing semisextile between the Moon and Uranus in Taurus adds a touch of surprise and spontaneity — unexpected opportunities may arise, and sudden shifts in plans could work in our favor if we remain flexible.
Later in the day, the Moon opposes Lilith in Libra, bringing deep emotions to the surface and heightening interpersonal tensions. You may feel a pull between the desire for independence and the need for connection, so it is important to balance your own passions with sensitivity to others’ boundaries.
The Moon’s subsequent semisquare to expansive Jupiter in Gemini reinforces both optimism and restlessness, urging us to take bold action but also cautioning against over-commitment or speaking without thinking.
Later, a harmonious trine between Mercury in Aquarius and Jupiter in Gemini supports eloquence and open discussion — this aspect is ideal for negotiating agreements or sharing big ideas with enthusiasm at the end of the day.
Tonight the Moon’s gentle semisextile to Neptune and the karmic node, both in Pisces, brings a touch of intuition and emotional depth. Reflections on your spiritual journey or a connection to your inner purpose may become more pressing. Trust your instincts and be open to signs that point the way forward, but remain grounded in practical action to bring your intentions to life.
Astrology Forecast January 6 – 12, 2025
Mars entering Cancer today can heighten emotional intensity, and our drive may shift toward securing personal stability and caring for those we care about. This energy can bring a surge of protective instincts, encouraging us to take action on matters close to home.
However, Mars in Cancer forms a challenging sesquiquadrate with Saturn, which can lead to frustration if your efforts are blocked or hindered by authority figures or external obstacles. This aspect challenges you to balance your drive with patience and responsibility, recognizing that slow and steady progress is often more rewarding than rushing ahead.
Mercury’s square to Neptune early today may also cloud communication, making it difficult to express your thoughts clearly or fully understand the intentions of others. Be aware of illusions or misunderstandings that may arise during the day. Double-check important details and avoid making important decisions based on half-formed ideas.
Fortunately, the Moon sextile Jupiter provides an optimistic boost this morning, encouraging expansive thinking and a general sense of hope. This energy can help lift your spirits and provide some clarity as the day unfolds, especially if you focus on personal growth or spiritual pursuits.
Later in the day, the Moon’s quintile to Pluto invites deeper emotional reflection, offering you the opportunity to release old patterns and embrace deep healing. The Moon’s semisextile to Saturn can be a grounding influence, helping you balance your emotions with a practical outlook. But beware, Venus’ semisquare to Chiron can bring a slight tension in matters of love and self-esteem, urging you to address any wounds in relationships.
Astrology Forecast December 30, 2024 – January 5, 2025
A practical New Moon in Capricorn closes out the year with an energy that invites us to set solid intentions for the year ahead. The transition from the old to the new will inspire us to take action on unfinished business to clear the way for the future.
Capricorn’s lunar influence encourages discipline and patience – this is not a time for shortcuts, but for steady progress. Whether it’s career ambitions, personal growth or financial stability, focus on what you can do today to create lasting success. Plant your seeds with intention and trust that the work you put in now will pay off in the months to come.
The Capricorn Moon’s harmonious trine to Uranus in Taurus tomorrow night predicts that while the night may be full of surprises, they are likely to be positive and refreshing rather than disruptive. You may feel more adventurous yet grounded, taking risks that feel authentic to your personal growth and goals for the coming year.
Whether you’re planning a large celebration or a more intimate gathering, this aspect encourages a balance of excitement and stability, making your New Year’s Eve both memorable and meaningful.
The New Year begins with the Moon entering Aquarius on Wednesday, bringing a fresh breeze of innovation and the urge to break free from routine. As the morning unfolds, the Moon’s conjunction with Pluto inspires deep reflection and invites you to courageously embrace change. This is the perfect energy for those New Year’s resolutions to let go of old patterns and make room for new beginnings, but be mindful of the tendency to overanalyze – allow emotions to naturally transform rather than forcing outcomes.
Astrology Forecast December 23 – 29, 2024
Today’s moon in harmonious Libra urges us to seek balance and connection, but the sesquiquadrate to Uranus introduces a touch of unpredictability.
Unexpected changes or sudden bursts of insight may disrupt your carefully laid plans for the week, but stay grounded and calm, for these surprises hold the potential for growth if you remain adaptable.
Stay open to the unexpected, for this cosmic influence can bring innovative ideas or unusual opportunities your way. Be careful with your reactions – impulsiveness could create unnecessary tension, especially in relationships where compromise is key.
The Moon’s sextile to Mercury will come to the rescue later in the day, promoting communication and mental clarity. It’s an opportunity to mediate potential conflicts, express your feelings, or collaborate on creative projects. Conversations will flow more easily and you’re likely to find the right words to articulate your thoughts. Trust your intuition to lead you to balanced decisions.
Tomorrow we begin the day with the Sun quintile Moon, which offers harmony and creative flow, making it a perfect time to align your inner desires with your outer goals.
As Venus trines Lilith later in the day, the focus shifts to authenticity and empowerment in relationships and self-expression. This powerful aspect encourages you to embrace your passions, connect deeply with others, and celebrate the freedom of living your truth. Trust your instincts, let your confidence shine, and open yourself to meaningful, honest relationships.
Astrology Forecast December 16 – 22, 2024
We can breathe a sigh of relief after Mercury went direct yesterday and can now begin to untangle the knots left by its retrograde journey. You may feel a subtle shift in clarity and communication as stalled plans begin to move forward and misunderstandings are resolved.
However, with the post-shadow period still in effect, patience remains key — double-check details and allow time for lingering confusion to dissipate. This is a “clean-up” period, offering a chance to finalize or repair anything that was left unresolved during retrograde.
You may also feel like hiding from the world today and tomorrow as the Moon moves through emotional Cancer, but stepping back from the chaos could be a good thing! Use this “baby in the corner” moment to reflect on what the retrograde has revealed about your needs, boundaries, and intentions, and begin to lay the groundwork for smoother progress ahead. Trust the process and take small, thoughtful steps toward your goals.
As the Moon moves into vibrant Leo tomorrow evening, your inner light will once again be seen and celebrated. We’ll also feel back on track and able to catch up on anything that fell through the cracks earlier in the week, so don’t worry!
A Leo Moon is perfect for playful spontaneity, heartfelt conversations, and embracing the fullness of your radiant spirit. Thursday will ignite creativity and confidence, encouraging bold self-expression and heartfelt connections. It’s a day for honoring your passions, sharing your talents and basking in moments of joy. Through Friday, this fiery energy invites you to take center stage in your own life, inspiring courage in both love and leadership. But watch out for dramatic tendencies or ego clashes — balance your need to shine with genuine warmth and generosity.
