2/17 (Sat)

Venus Conjunct Pluto

Creativity, relationships, and money can all be potently empowered by a Venus-Pluto conjunction (0°51′ Aquarius).

If you’re creative, set aside plenty of time to express your muse. Pluto can supercharge your creative juices!

In your relationships, Pluto can arrange for triggers to bring up your unhealed traumas. (For thousands, my free Healing Invocation has proved a quick and effective way to heal old emotional pain.)

Erotic relationships can benefit hugely from Pluto’s amplification of tantric energies. And any meaningful relationship can be enriched by Pluto’s preference for honest, vulnerable, and authentic connection.

Finally, Venus and Pluto respectively represent money and wealth. This obviously opens up the potential for financial enrichment. But Pluto can represent breakthrough or disaster, so carefully scrutinize any financial opportunities.

With Venus and Pluto both in Aquarius, watch for intuitive hits to guide you. And stay alert to unconventional approaches and opportunities!

2/18 (Sun)

The Sun Enters Pisces

The Sun enters Pisces at 11:13 pm EST. For the next month, there’s easier support for spiritual awakening, inspired creativity, and operating “in the zone.” Compassion, unconditional love, and dream work are also boosted.

This placement can also empower the more challenging side of Pisces. So try to steer clear of substance abuse, addiction, and excessive escapism. Ditto for aimless drifting and playing the martyr!

2/19 (Mon) & 2/20 (Tue)

Mars and Venus Quintile Chiron

Relationship healing and creativity mentoring are supported by two related aspects on consecutive days. Mars quintiles Chiron (4°44′ Aquarius-16°44′ Aries) on 2/19, followed by a Venus-Chiron quintile (4°47′ Aquarius-16°47′ Aries) on 2/20.

Mars and Venus combine to energize relationship and creativity, while Chiron supports healing and mentoring. So relationship healing and creativity mentoring are the two most obvious ways to benefit from these aspects. The quintile, astrology’s most magical aspect, adds divine inspiration to both!

2/22 (Thu)

Mercury Quintile Jupiter

Inspired thinking, writing, and communication is magically energized by Mercury quintile Jupiter (28°2′ Aquarius-10°2′ Taurus), this forecast’s third quintile. Engage your brain and stay open to input from your higher wisdom!

Venus Conjunct Mars

There’s also a Venus-Mars conjunction (6°57′ Aquarius) today.

As mentioned above, Venus and Mars most easily partner to energize relationships and creativity. Whatever’s happening in a relationship can be amplified by this aspect. With both planets in Aquarius, explore innovative solutions and follow your intuitive hits.

The Venus-Mars dynamic also supports creativity, so devote some time to your artistry. The Aquarian energy invites you to stretch your boundaries, or maybe even branch out in a new creative direction!

2/24 (Sat)

T-Squared Virgo Full Moon

A Full Moon illuminates the sky at 7:30 am EST (5°23′ Virgo). Any Virgo Full Moon is great for release or adjustment in the areas of service, health, and detail work.

Aspects

T-Square

The Sun and Moon form a T-Square with three other planets. Mercury and Saturn sandwich the Sun in Pisces, while all the planets square Pallas Athena.

Saturn is the most potent planet in this aspect pattern. He can help you accomplish your Full Moon goals with greater maturity, responsibility, and wisdom. He can help you use your time efficiently, and make it easier for you to “plan the work and work the plan.”

It’s also Saturn’s job to raise obstacles where they serve your highest good. Does your soul growth call for you to face a particular challenge or rise to a greater level of mastery? If so, Saturn will arrange a catalyst to bring this to your attention. At such times, it can help to remember the Stoic motto, “the obstacle is the way.”

Saturn’s placement in Pisces can empower your Law of Attraction abilities. Pisces rules visualization, while Saturn rules crystallization. Having a clear vision of what you want in your mind can speed up its physical manifestation. If your Full Moon goals include deeper embodied awakening, Saturn in Pisces supports that too!

Saturn is four degrees past the Sun during this Full Moon, while Mercury is three degrees behind. Mercury empowers your ability to learn and communicate during this waning Moon period. Mercury’s placement in Pisces can help you receive and channel intuitive information.

The final planet in this Full Moon T-Square is Pallas Athena. Her warrior goddess energy can help you be more assertive with your Full Moon goals. She can also support you with her abilities in negotiation, strategy, and diplomacy.

Two More Aspects

The Moon also has two more aspects. a tight Moon-Vesta quintile can give you inspiration on how to selflessly support a worthy cause. Finally, a Moon-Jupiter trine can bless you with expansive energy and good luck!

Venus Square Jupiter

Relationships, creativity, and finance are amplified by a Venus-Jupiter square (10°30′ Aquarius-Taurus).

Jupiter is the great magnifier, adding power and awareness to anything he influences. So notice which people, artistic desires, and money matters come into your awareness. Some may need release or healing, while others may be on track and poised for expansion. Notice what kind of opportunity Jupiter is bringing and act accordingly!

2/27 (Tue)

Mars Square Jupiter

Taking life-affirming action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur is amplified by a Mars-Jupiter square (10°52′ Aquarius-Taurus). But take care that this square doesn’t activate Mars’ darker impulses. These can include destructive impulsiveness, inappropriate anger, harmful sexual activity, or violence.

Mars is in Aquarius. The less spiritually awake you are, the more you could be tempted to act impulsively and irresponsibly. The more awake you are, the easier it will be to receive and act on your trustworthy intuitive hits!

Mercury Quintile Uranus

You can enjoy magical mental mastery with Mercury quintile Uranus (7°30′ Pisces-19°30′ Taurus), this forecast’s fourth and final quintile. Whatever mental activity you’re engaged in – thinking, writing, teaching, or communicating – this aspect can give it a special sparkle.

Mercury’s placement in Pisces, which can open your mind to a constant flow of divine energy and inspiration, makes this opportunity even sweeter!

2/28 (Wed)

Triple Conjunction: Sun-Mercury-Saturn

Three conjunctions happen within 13 hours today: a Sun-Mercury conjunction at 3:43 am (9°14′ Pisces), a Mercury-Saturn conjunction at 10:08 am (9°44′ Pisces), and a Sun-Saturn conjunction at 4:25 pm (9°46′ Pisces). All times are EST.

When we just consider the planets, this Triple Conjunction adds vitality and focus to all your mental activities. It can light up your learning and communication, and can help you do it with greater discipline and productivity.

The fact that all three planets are in Pisces adds an easy flow of divine inspiration and energy. This can enhance your creativity. This Pisces-Sun-Mercury-Saturn combo can also empower Law of Attraction work and embodied awakening!

2/29 (Thu)

Mercury Sextile Jupiter

Mercury and Jupiter have returned for an encore! They made a quintile on 2/22, and are now back a week later on 2/29 with a Mercury-Jupiter sextile (11°12′ Pisces-Taurus). With Mercury in Pisces, inspired thinking, writing, teaching, and communication remain energized.

With Mercury in Pisces, this placement also supports channeling information from higher levels for yourself or others. And Jupiter can help you act as a professor, philosopher, guru, or other wisdom-giver.
