This week’s astrology forecast:

February 16th – 22nd    

Announcement: I will be returning to the weekly forecast only and will no longer be sending daily forecasts, so save this for the week.

This week features two major astrological events: The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on Tuesday and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at zero degrees of Aries on Friday. Solar Eclipses are cosmic erasers as the Moon moves across the face of the Sun, erasing its light. This facilitates breaking free from the past and walking into the new you with a fresh start. The eclipse is in a tight square to revolutionary Uranus, adding to the urge for originality and a desire for independence from old traditions.

The Sabian symbol for the eclipse is “A butterfly emerging from a chrysalis”. Dane Rudhyar’s keynote for this symbol is “The capacity to utterly transform the character of one’s consciousness by radically altering the structural patterns of everyday living and the types of relationships one enters upon”.

The Saturn/Neptune conjunction occurs every 36 years, and is highly significant in and of itself, but that it is occurring at the zero degree of Aries, adds potency to its significance. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and zero degrees of the first sign is all about new beginnings. Saturn and Neptune are rather strange bedfellows—Saturn being of the materialistic 3-D world, and Neptune of the imaginative, spiritual realms. This fusion calls for merging the two by bringing spirit into matter and becoming an embodiment of your spiritual ideals.

Aries is the self and a key for working with this energy is to take responsibility for your life. No blaming or self-defeating justifications. Call your energy back home. Ask yourself, “what would I do if it was my life to live?”—and then take the steps to make it happen. Another key for taking responsibility for your own energy is, If you are going to do it, choose to do it.”

Monday: A highly charged day with the Sun square to electrifying Uranus, stimulating the urge to act on your radical individuality—be authentic (wear purple?)  The Moon is in highly independent Aquarius conjunct empowering Mars, adding to the intensity and potential volatility of the day, however, Mercury is also trine to Jupiter, providing a positive path through conflicts.

Tuesday: The New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs at 4:01 AM PST square to Uranus, prompting the urge to make radical changes in your life—out with the past and on with the new. The Moon moving into easy going Pisces this morning with no aspects calls for going with flow.

Wednesday: The Sun enters Pisces, the sign of the fishes—one near the surface and interacting with the world, and one beneath the surface that only you are aware of. How skilled you are at moving between these two determines your well-being. The Moon is also in sensitive Pisces and uplifted by a trine to fortunate Jupiter and conjuncts Mercury, enhancing the ability to speak your feelings.

Thursday: The Moon is in empathetic Pisces sextile to intuitive Uranus this morning—stay open to flashes of insight and understanding. The Moon enters ready for action Aries midday conjunct the Saturn/Neptune conjunction, making for a good day to take responsibility (Saturn) for taking action (Aries) on your highest vision (Neptune). A sextile to transformative Pluto this evening will fortify your sense of right action to take.

Friday: Saturn is conjunct Neptune at zero degree of Aries, initiating a new world cycle and is the time to manifest your vision of yourself—become an embodiment of your highest ideals today.. The Moon is in “act first” Aries and being square to excessive Jupiter this afternoon can lead to over-confidence and a tendency to say “yes” to too much—more is not always better. 

Saturday: A high-powered morning with the Moon in fast-starting Aries. A calmer afternoon when the Moon enters grounded Taurus. With the Moon both in harmony to the Sun and square to power-seeking Pluto, a smooth and enjoyable evening is available—as long as you don’t dig your heals in and refuse to budge over one issue or another.

Sunday: The most enjoyable day of the week is in store with the two benifics, Venus and Jupiter, being in a supportive trine, while the Moon in luxury-loving Taurus is in harmony to both. A connoisseur’s delight—treat yourself to a bit of luxury today and enjoy!

May the stars be with you!
