Along with unpredictable late winter weather, our energy level and our moods can feel erratic this week, energized one minute and serious the next. Venus, now in fiery Aries, infuses us with energy or enthusiasm when we’re passionately engaged or truly ticked off.
Mercury conjuncts Saturn this week and lends us a rigorous mind that can think things through, but, like a pit bull, doesn’t want to let go of a problem if we start to chew on it at 2:00 AM.
Mars issues spin along with swirling winter storms-- anger, ambition, motivation, and mechanical difficulties growl and demand attention as Mars, retrograde since December 7, pivots to turn direct on Sunday.
Expect a noticeable, usually, but not always, minor disturbance in the force when a planet turns direct after a retrograde cycle and before the energy flows smoothly again.
Mars in Cancer can bring extra kindness and compassion on one side, and on the other, defensiveness and machismo to cover insecurities. Mars retrograde in Cancer has left many reactive instead of creative, on our back foot in world events, but that now begins to shift. Look for new clarity in what angers us, what energizes us, and where we’re headed – for better or worse- in the weeks ahead.
That Mercury-Saturn conjunction felt all week, though exact on Tuesday, can help us focus our thinking, add rigorousness and concentration, but can leave us depressed by the complexity of our life. Particularly where we feel unaligned with Saturn, where we feel someone else has control or someone else's authority is not working for us.
This weekend begins under a restless Sagittarius Moon that can keep us moving even in difficult weather, that Sagittarian irreverence can break the bubble of illusion and projection. But watch for thoughtless comments in the press revealing half-truths rather than complex understanding and think before speaking.

Over the weekend, a competent Capricorn Moon brings fresh determination to solve knotty personal problems. Let's give our mind something substantial to chew upon rather than obsess on something over which we have no control.
Through Sunday and Monday, prioritize safety and use tension wisely. As Mars turns direct, we could feel tectonic plates shift or a shift in personal direction. Motivation is revealed, believe what people say. Through Tuesday and Wednesday, the Aquarius Moon encourages us to get out of our problems and look at the bigger picture.
Great for editing, for writing proposals, for setting clear boundaries, but watch where the brain perseverates.
Have conversations about the past and discuss real problems with one another. Just be careful not to be swamped by someone else's idea of the reality police.
This week ends on a more sensitive and personal note under a Pisces New Moon on Thursday. While it’s good to empathize with all the tender and vulnerable people, it is important to also come back to our work and hear what our sensitive disposition tells us. Listen to the whispers as well as the cries. The Pisces full Moon is a powerful time to find a new dream, a new vision for the next steps.
Day By Day:
Friday, February 21: We can feel strangely upbeat in moments when we taste a hint of joy or wildness but feel the weight of the world when we stop to think life through as Sagittarius Moon squares thoughtful Mercury this morning. Midday, notice what needs work, but bring attention to what is going right; reward progress and celebrate personal victories to stay in the game. Evening is restless, outspoken, and thoughtful as the Moon squares Saturn.

Saturday, February 22: Thoughts wander, we need to putter and wander ourselves, take a moment with Spirit and not stick to any tight schedule; hit the reset button as the Sagittarius Moon squares Neptune early on. Midday we settle in and are encouraged to work on some long-term projects as the Moon enters organized Capricorn; any progress improves our mood. Tonight, share plans.
Moon square Neptune 1:38 PM, Moon enters Capricorn 4:08 PM.
Sunday, February 23: We get some clarity, but it may not be comfortable clarity. Hidden problems, secret concerns are revealed. This afternoon can bring cranky irritation as Mars turns direct and Mercury trines Mars, be aware of what needs to happen. Swift and decisive action is possible, just be careful along the way. Watch the sharp-edged comments. Energies swirl, look for changes of mind, changes of direction, and strange mishaps this evening. Prioritize centering, kindness, and stay situationally aware. Reassess intentions and direction over the next week.

Monday, February 24: New directions clarify and build momentum, for better or worse, as the Moon sextiles Mercury, Saturn, and trines Uranus. Check people's motivation, where they're going and why they're in a hurry to get there. Work with people whose goals align. Don't waste this day futzing around, actions made today can produce results in the future. After a potentially busy day, the energy level drops and connection becomes more important tonight as the Moon sextiles Neptune then enters Aquarius.

Tuesday, February 25: The seriousness of a situation could become apparent as mental Mercury conjuncts rigorous Saturn. We need optimistic practicality in the face of this. Chew on problems together, but while coming to grips with situations which feel oppressive or restrictive, don't get discouraged. Instead -see clearly, not simplistically; wrestle with the truth and make good plans. Our community can help later as the Moon in sociable Aquarius sextiles Venus and trines expansive Jupiter.

Wednesday, February 26: Notice a breakdown of old patterns, a dissolving of both security structures, and limitations. Figure out what needs to be released, clear the decks for new dreams. Sort and assess carefully, but do not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Ask if it will further take this action, or will it just feel good to do something. Contemplate dreams, prepare the soul’s garden for new seeds, new life, under this dark of the Moon.
Moon square Uranus 304 PM.
Thursday, February 27: We could be all up in our feelings under the New Moon in Pisces, exact at 5:44 pm MST. Be compassionately sensitized to those really suffering, the vulnerable, those losing their jobs. Face any nightmares squarely, but steer the mind towards dreams of a better, safer, more fulfilled life, no matter how many years in the future as Mercury sextiles Uranus. Find subtle joys. Find a new dream. Plant literal seeds or peruse seed catalogues as an ode to a blooming future.
Moon enters Pisces 1:46 AM MST, Mercury sextile Uranus 2:37 AM, Moon conjunct the Sun 5:44 PM, Moon square Jupiter 9:54 PM.
