This week’s astrology forecast:
February 2nd – 8th
Message for the week:
The week starts with a stellium of five planets in Aquarius, with both Mercury and Venus in disruptive squares to rebellious, revolutionary Uranus. Uranus is also stationary as it shifts from being retrograde to direct, strengthening its influence and awakening the call for social activism. We can see this revolutionary energy in the rising number of social protests over ICE’s heavy-handed tactics. Individually, this revolutionary energy shows up as a greater hunger for freedom and a willingness to shake things up rather than stay stuck.
Neptune having just moved into Aries (the warrior) animates the call to stand up and to be willing to take action—Aries won’t sit around and feel sad! We can see this warrior energy in the growing military presence in our lives, as well as it strengthening the resistance to excessive use of power with protest movements around the globe.
The spiritual urge of Neptune in Aries is different than when it was in passive Pisces. Meditating during the Pisces era could lead to peaceful transcendence of the body, the world, and its problems. Aries doesn’t want to disengage from the body—it is embodied energy. Spiritual practices that engage and empower the body are more aligned with Aries energy—Chi Gong, Tai Chi, ashtanga yoga, and brisk walks are examples.
Monday: A bit of an edgy day with the Moon in normally sunny Leo being challenged with an opposition to Mercury and a disruptive square to Uranus, making cooperative projects difficult—it might be best to work by yourself today. Stay mindful of what you say while Mercury is sextile to Chiron—words can be wounding or healing. The Moon enters Virgo this evening calling for a return to routines.
Tuesday: This is a good day to buckle down and get some work done with the Moon in task-oriented Virgo. Try to stay out of needless questioning with the quincunx to the Sun/Mars conjunction. Uranus is stationary direct, amplifying its call for you to follow your own unique path.
Wednesday: Venus is sextile to Chiron, offering healing energy to relationships. This should be another good day for being productive with the Moon in “worker bee” Virgo with no interfering aspects through the day. You might want to keep a notepad at hand this evening while the Moon forms a flowing trine to intuitive Uranus, bringing sudden flashes of insight. You may feel exhausted and ready to pack it in late tonight when the Moon is opposite restrictive Saturn—shut ‘er down.
Thursday: Another edgy day with Mercury in a disruptive square to Uranus—no one wants to put up with any guff from anybody. The Moon entering harmony-seeking Libra this morning will help keep the peace. Harmonious trines to the Mars/Pluto conjunction in Aquarius this evening is excellent for socializing and cultural events.
Friday: Mercury enters Pisces today, softening the mind and awakening compassion for others. The Moon is in balance-seeking Libra square to over optimistic Jupiter this morning—be careful not to over plan, or to take on too much. The Moon moves into a trine to the Sun in Aquarius midday, enhancing all relationships and cooperative endeavors.
Saturday: The Moon is in fair-minded Libra this morning in a Yod aspect with Uranus and Saturn, calling for Libra’s diplomacy skills to be utilized in dealings with others. The Moon moves into intimacy-seeking Scorpio midday in a trine to Mercury, facilitating deep and meaningful conversations. The Moon is square to Pluto this evening—you may feel a bit sullen and within yourself as you work something out.
Sunday: Venus is square to Uranus today, stimulating the urge to walk on the wild side and do something out of the ordinary. You may encounter an anger flare-up midday while the Moon in Scorpio is in an agitating square to angry Mars. However, an exquisite afternoon and evening are in store with the Moon moving into a flowing trine to fortunate Jupiter.
May the stars be with you!
