Astrology for Healing and Transformation with Katie Sweetman
Mercury makes moves as we start the week, leaving Pisces for Aries. If Pisces is the end of the zodiac, Aries is the beginning. The planet of communication, curiosity, and choice brings its energies to a sign that is about action and the renewal of life.
Venus prepares to turn retrograde, taking the baton from Mars, which recently completed its retrograde. Like Mars, Venus is a planet that reveals our day-to-day lives. It is a review of what we love, how we connect, and what we invest time and money in.
Welcome to the Pisces New Moon, the time in the lunar calendar when we come to the end of the zodiac. Pisces is finality, the liminality between one life and the next, one breath and the next. It governs over our dreams and illusions as well as our search for meaning.
It’s the dark of the moon, the last few days in the lunar month before a new moon. In this case, it’s the day before the Pisces New Moon, a time to rest, to go inward, and to integrate our experiences since the previous new moon on January 29.
Mercury and Saturn join up in Pisces, a precursor to next month’s lunar eclipse in Virgo, on March 14. Saturn makes us aware of our boundaries, but also our maturity and growth. It’s a day of metrics, a measure of how far we’ve come, and where we need to go.
After two months, Mars is now direct in Cancer, a release of pent up energy. We’re also coming to a Pisces New Moon on February 27, the official kick off of Eclipse Season. We enter a lunar month marked by an eclipse on March 14. Serious decisions to be made.
The Moon’s in Capricorn as we start the week, a Moon that has us looking towards the future. Community and social connection is in the spotlight. So is accountability, leadership, and maturity. With Mercury conjunct Saturn in Pisces, we are weighing serious options.
Mars prepares to turn direct at 17 Cancer this Sunday, the culmination of a retrograde that began back on December 6. It’s been a second look at how we use our Mars — how we take action, how we express our desires, how we take the lead.
Mercury in Pisces makes a square to Jupiter in Gemini, a point of tension that may pull at themes of faith and meaning. It may also be a time when we need to make the decision to live true to a personal conviction. Travel and exploration are also highlighted.
The Moon’s in Scorpio today, a double dose of element water along with the Pisces Sun. With Mars in Cancer, we have all three water signs activated for a day that may feel emotional and sentimental, intimate and caring, intuitive and dreamy.
Welcome to Pisces Season. The Sun arrives in the last sign of the zodiac, the culmination of a long journey that brings us into the end of the astrological year. It’s a period meant for reflection, the search for answers within, the exploration of the liminal, spiritual.
Welcome to Pisces Season! We’ve reached the last sign of the zodiac as well as the end of the astrological year. It’s a season that brings us closer to eclipses and their pivotal energies. Mars also turns direct in Cancer after two months retrograde.
