Theme: Exact!

Saturn has caught up exactly with Neptune in the first degree of Aries today. This combination makes things seem worse than they are. But can we integrate the energies? We could strike out in a new spiritual direction and bring it down to earth. The Pisces and Aries placements of many planets support new spiritual action. For several days Venus trines Jupiter which is a nice combination, but we should watch out for overindulging.

The only thing that is meaningful is to make this life a vehicle by which you can come to benefit beings. ~Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo

Theme: Partial action stations!

The Moon moves into Aries today bringing a change of pace – although with the Sun, Venus and Mercury remaining in Pisces there is still a lot of unconscious swirling of the psyche that periodically rises to the surface allowing you to identify the source of your feelings. It is a good time for meditation and retreat. Having said that the Moon will conjunct Saturn/Neptune stirring the pot of activity – often unanticipated. Aim to connect with your heart to help balance things.

Keep hope alive.~ Jesse Jackson

Theme: Immersion

The Sun has moved into Pisces and together with three other celestial bodies in Pisces, Venus, Moon and Mercury, it’s an open invitation to re-connect inwardly with your psyche. In other words, re-connect with your heart and feelings, and ultimately compassion in its purest form. The flip side of Pisces is avoidance and addiction and losing oneself in a kind of forgetting of one’s true nature.

This is not mine, this I am not, this is not my self.~ The Buddha

The Lunar New kicks off today and, along with a new moon, brings the fresh breeze of a Fire Horse Year. The Fire Horse is closely associated with the planet Jupiter so expect some beneficial outcomes this year and an expansion of your view this year. Of course it can be a wild ride at times. The New Year coincides with an annual solar eclipse so today is an important day to be mindful as it is influential in establishing/magnifying personal themes (astrologically speaking) until the next annual solar eclipse.

A canter is the cure for every evil.~ Benjamin Disraeli

The Moon is Void of Course in Aquarius from 7.01am until 9.09am. Avoid signing legal/contractual documents. Don’t over-think things at this time. Remember to breathe!

Theme: Insight and completion

The Moon is nearly in its last waning phase signaling completions, endings and providing a more reflective space. It’s an in-between but powerful place to be before the new Moon tomorrow. Saturn has finally moved into Aries and into a more comfortable sign for it’s material expression. Not so Neptune in Aries. Change and some upheaval is inevitable with these planetary placements. The Moon is conjunct Mars today so lots of activity, but not always easy.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.~ Kierkegaad

Theme: Powerful Emotions

Especially in the middle of the day the connection between the Moon and Pluto is very strong, indicating powerful emotions that will lessen later on. It is an excellent opportunity for insight in to ones self and others. Saturn has joined Neptune in Aries, which should provide more grounding in terms of our actions. With the Moon in Aquarius for a few days we will be more cool and detached except during the middle of the day, today.

We need a sense of the oneness of the 7 billion people alive today…. We all share the potential for positive and negative emotions, ~H H the Dalai Lama

The Moon is void of course today until 1:18 am EST. Do not make any major decisions until after this time.

Theme: Slowing Down

Not only is the planet indicating communication and thought in a dreamy, ungrounded sign, Pisces, but Mercury is also slowing in the sky as it will go retrograde on 2/26. All the other planets except Jupiter are moving forward now so there is still a bit of time to get things done with some speed. Mercury is harmonizing with Jupiter for several days which enhances all mental efforts, especially making plans for the future and getting organized.

What if practicing peace is slowing down and realizing there’s more to see? ~Morgan Harper Nichols

The Moon is void of course from 8:33 pm today until 1:18 am the next day EST. Do not make any big decisions during this time period.

Theme: Inching Closer

Saturn is inching closer to being right on top of Neptune in the 2 dimensional sky that we work with in astrology. This enhances the tendency to look at life from the worst point of view. Be aware that things are not as bad as they seem. In a couple of days Saturn will join Neptune in Aries. This is not a good place for Saturn but it should help ground and limit warring tendencies. The Moon opposes Jupiter in the evening which will bolster our mood.

So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more of it remains. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Theme: Insight

With Mercury still conjunct the North Node, you can continue to take advantage of this insightful time where contemplative meditation can be very helpful. Also, your mind is generating ideas for where you can most fruitfully head next. Until Saturn moves into Aries this is still an important time to restructure your inner world through psychological examination, reflection and identifying deeply ingrained habits that prevent you from moving forward.

There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.~ Goethe

The Moon is Void of Course in Sagittarius from 2.28pm to 2.44pm. Avoid signing contracts. Take time to breathe in this space.

Theme: Finding balance

The Sun and Moon are in good aspect bringing more flow, energy and upliftment to your day. The asteroid of healing Chiron, is well placed to help with the inner energy flow and repair: support from others is also helpful in the emotional healing process. With an even number of planets in both Aquarius and Pisces there is both a strong wish to commit to beneficial social change and yet be guided by your heart.

This is the beautiful truth about peace: when you give it away, it doesn’t diminish—it multiplies. When you share joy, you don’t lose it—you create more of it.~ Walk for Peace Monks
