Weekly Summary: FEBRUARY 15 - FEBRUARY 21 "Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. These ties cannot be seen, but we can feel them."— Nikola TeslaThis Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) brings with it the 'transmutation' of the last lunar cycle's heavy sense of responsibility into a deeply powerful, active, and mystical awareness of the connection of all things. The seeding of 'connectedness' in this new lunar cycle brings a new sense of responsibility that emphasizes our connection to each other, rather than adherence to dogmatic authority. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. The New Moon squares now direct Uranus from Aquarius to Taurus — both fixed signs. The fixed elements may initially seem to hold things together tightly. But the Moon arrives in mutable Pisces within hours and the Sun moves into Pisces the following day, suggesting that the 'hold' begins to slip almost immediately. The New Moon is imbued with a demand for freedom, which initially may only be seen in the way that we 'dig in our heels' and simply refuse to conform. A Mars-Vesta conjunction completes just ahead of the New Moon, which is likely to leave some residual self-righteousness when we feel that our individual efforts and sacrifices have not been recognized sufficiently. Once the Sun moves into Pisces, we find a strong pull between material and spiritual reality, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. Nonetheless, Mercury and Venus both make trines to Jupiter as it begins to slow down to station direct next month, offering support for the building imperative to find and strengthen our connections to others through collective, cooperative action. The erratic, 'genius' qualities of Aquarius and Uranus are certainly present in this week's atmosphere as well, providing sporadic insights that slowly open the door to deeper intuitive inspiration. By Friday, Saturn and Neptune finally complete a powerful conjunction on the first degree (0° Aries) of the Zodiac, suggesting a potent 'reset' or a 'new beginning'. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction can suggest the restriction of Neptune's inspiration and intuitive insight but, with the Sun, Mercury, and Venus now in Pisces, the overall atmosphere is highly supportive of intuition, further encouraging deep collective connection. Neptune also works on Saturn to break down the restrictions and 'crystallization' elements that are generally associated with Saturn's strict authority. We may find ourselves seeking some kind of new 'rule book', a higher authority that we can follow. This is nothing less than a profound shift in our conception of what 'faith' actually is. The information or 'facts' we once might have 'taken on faith', as dispensed from some kind of 'authority', is no longer relevant. In the place of such authority, we will begin to recognize our connection to the totality of all things and the inherent responsibility associated with that connection. Through an expanding awareness of where our actual responsibilities lie, we can begin to recognize the empowering gift of true connection that facilitates our individual participation in the conscious act of creation that underlies our material existence.
Sunday brings a remarkable amount of ability to 'stand one's own ground' while quietly expressing a 'dedication of purpose'. The insights arrive sporadically throughout the day. We may hear clear messages and see obvious developments on Monday that demonstrate how close we are to a dramatic turning point. Nonetheless, there is some kind of demand for proof — even when the proof is inescapably obvious. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center on Tuesday, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. A collective sense of purpose rises out of the ashes of individual doubt. There is a strong pull between material and spiritual reality on Wednesday, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. A gambling instinct may also begin to surface that is displayed through foolishly misplaced sympathy or ineffective self-sacrifice. We are offered a 'check point' on Thursday for the shifts that are underway. We seem to be offered an opportunity — perhaps a last opportunity — to double check our individual message before we deliver it. Perhaps the biggest challenge in Friday's atmosphere is being completely honest about what we are seeing directly in front of us. What is most helpful here is finding some support from those around us. Flexibility is extremely important on Saturday and any self-righteousness or lack of acceptance will keep us seriously off balance. It is important to be prepared to respond quickly to any unexpected opportunities or surprising shifts in circumstance.

"Every day can be a good day"
This Daily Astrological Forecast is a bit different than most daily forecasts since it isn’t written for each individual Sun Sign. Rather, it is intended to be a bit like an Astrological Weather Report. To read more about this forecast, see this post
This morning's Moon-Pluto conjunction (6:09 AM PST) provides a remarkable amount of ability to 'stand one's own ground' while quietly expressing a 'dedication of purpose'. The Sun heads towards a quietly momentous square to Uranus all day today, completing the square at 9:01 PM PST. The insights arrive sporadically throughout the day. The desire for freedom is also building today but may only be seen in the way that we 'dig in our heels' and simply refuse to conform. As we approach Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius), the heavy sense of responsibility is beginning to transform into a powerful sense of connection. The Moon's square to Uranus at the New Moon will offer a dramatic follow-up to today's determined desire for freedom.
We may hear clear messages and see obvious developments today that demonstrate how close we are to a dramatic turning point. Nonetheless, there is some kind of demand for proof — even when the proof is inescapably obvious. As we approach an obvious 'fresh start', many of us might prefer to stay in some kind of familiar past routine — but "Good luck with that!". The high degree of self-righteousness that seems to be stirring in this atmosphere may surface through feelings that our sacrifices have not been recognized sufficiently. Faith in 'the process' is extremely important here. We are reaching an awareness of a new level of responsibility that emphasizes our connection to each other, rather than adherence to dogmatic authority. Individual sacrifice and personal effort is automatically incorporated into the pioneering new ventures and initiatives that are nearing the surface of our collective, conscious awareness. Jupiter has reached the degree where it will station direct (on March 11th). Today's Mercury-Jupiter trine provides plenty of philosophical insight to understand the opportunities for transformation that we are being offered — if we are willing to listen. These insights will help to inform our sense of direction over the next few months.
This morning's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) brings with it the 'transmutation' of the last lunar cycle's heavy sense of responsibility into a deeply powerful, active, and mystical awareness of the connection of all things. A collective sense of purpose rises out of the ashes of individual doubt. The power of cooperative action is brought front and center, with long lasting implications for a monumental reorganization of what we may consider to be our core sense of stability. We may find ourselves seeking some kind of 'rule book', a higher authority that we can follow. This is nothing less than a profound shift in our conception of what 'faith' actually is. The information or 'facts' we once might have 'taken on faith' dispensed from some kind of 'authority' is no longer relevant. In the place of such authority, we will begin to recognize our inherent connection to the totality of all things. With that sense of connection, we can begin to recognize what it actually means to participate in the act of creation that is our material existence.
The Sun arrives in Pisces this morning. The Moon moved into Pisces shortly after yesterday's New Moon and has moved far enough to trine Jupiter by 10:30 AM PST this morning, 'carrying the light' into a conjunction with Mercury this afternoon (3:08 PM PST), suggesting a highly intuitive, 'dreamy' atmosphere today. Our perceptions of the shifts, arising out yesterday's New Moon, may be somewhat foggy — lacking clarity. There is a strong pull between material and spiritual reality, potentially expressed with some defensive aggressiveness. A gambling instinct may also begin to surface that is displayed through foolishly misplaced sympathy or ineffective self-sacrifice. Any generosity that we find here needs to be acknowledged and reciprocated or we risk missing the important sense of connection that is offered.
The Moon makes a sextile to Uranus this morning (7:22 AM PST) before going VOC until 11:38 AM PST. The Moon's arrival in Aries quickly conjuncts Saturn and Neptune ahead of tomorrow's exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction. We are offered a 'check point' for the shifts that are underway — something like a last minute 'mic-check' before an important performance. The Moon's follow-up sextile to Pluto early this evening provides significant strength and sense of purpose or 'mission' — the sense that we have a 'message to deliver'. We do seem to be offered an opportunity — perhaps a last opportunity — to double check that message before it is delivered.
Saturn and Neptune finally complete a powerful conjunction on the first degree (0° Aries) of the Zodiac, suggesting a potent 'reset' or a 'new beginning'. It is notable that, although the Saturn-Neptune conjunction can suggest the restriction of intuitive insight, the overall atmosphere is highly supportive of intuition, encouraging deep collective connection. Perhaps the biggest challenge in today's atmosphere is being completely honest about what we are seeing directly in front of us. What is most helpful here is finding some support from those around us. There is very little here to encourage or support any sort of delusion — but reality may be very difficult to accept on a surface level, leaving us in some kind of untenable position. Unless, that is, we are able to access the still small voice of our intuition which is offering a surprisingly simple perspective that offers us any number of possible solutions.
Today's Aries Moon sextiles Mars early (3:11 AM PST) this morning and then goes VOC until arriving in Taurus at 3:30 PM PST this afternoon. Venus (ruling the Moon's arrival in Taurus) is approaching a trine to Jupiter (which will complete early tomorrow) as it is slowing to station direct on March 11th. The Venus-Jupiter trine increases the availability of intuitive guidance. There is certainly the potential for some self-righteousness along with difficulty accepting the reality of what we can see directly in front of us. Flexibility is extremely important here and any self-righteousness or lack of acceptance will keep us seriously off balance. It is important to be prepared to respond quickly to any unexpected opportunities or surprising shifts in circumstance. Last Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) was tightly square to Uranus which, although stabilized by the fixed sign placements, is beginning to show the increased likelihood of surprising developments.
Today is Thursday February 26, 2026
Weekly Summary: FEBRUARY 22 - FEBRUARY 28 "It is hardly possible to build anything if frustration, bitterness and a mood of helplessness prevail."— Lech WalesaA Mars-Uranus square near the end of this week suggests significant frustration will build throughout the week. Nonetheless, under the waxing lunar cycle, begun with last Tuesday's Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (4:00 AM PST 28-deg Aquarius), there are 'breakout' moments and plenty of help to find answers to the questions that have been raised over the past few weeks. The week begins with a marvelous Venus-Jupiter trine grounded and mediated by the Taurus Moon's sextiles to both planets. However, the enthusiasm of the Venus-Jupiter trine may actually feed into the week's impatience and building frustrations. Attempts to apply logic to the situation doesn't address the emotional elements that are bubbling up all around us. In this context, Mercury's retrograde station in Pisces on Wednesday actually seems to offer help to find some empathy, compassion, and much needed balance through a process of reflection. Ultimately, although the confusion is quite palpable and seemingly intractable, Mercury's retrograde process will offer a number of opportunities to find some of the emotional clarity that seems to be lacking this week. The Sun conjuncts the Pisces North Node early Friday morning, just before the Mars-Uranus square completes, potentially softening some of the intensity. We are offered the possibility of finding deeper compassion and setting aside harsh self-righteousness and judgement in favor of stronger connections and deeper empathy. Mercury will retrograde back to station direct exactly conjunct the North Node on March 20th. Essentially, this is a cleansing, growth process, spurred on by individual determination to move beyond past restrictions and jettison the emotional baggage that has become increasing irrelevant to our current situation. Energetic initiative is guided by intuition, offering unlimited potential for new growth. Certainly, the energy that we find this week may also stir fresh waves of impatience. Nonetheless, with the arrival of Mars into Pisces on Monday of next week, and Jupiter's direct station the following week, we will begin to find unexpected resources coming into view — both material and emotional or spiritual. While the frustration and impatience that is swirling in this week's atmosphere may very well seem important and justified, we'll do better to do whatever we can to maintain our balance. We need to be willing to detach ourselves enough to stand in the uncertainty. Pushing too hard is only likely to result in missed opportunities to further expand our overall perspective. This week's 'leading to' energy is likely to find more definitive expression once we move beyond next Tuesday's Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces). There is a marked intelligence and much discernment offered at the Full Moon if we are able to avoid being misled into ungrounded idealism. This waxing lunar cycle is helping us to find answers to the questions raised under the last lunar cycle. Whatever idealism that we're holding on to needs to be tempered by what we can actually see right in front of us — 'the facts on the ground'.
Intuition is particularly well supported on Sunday. Perseverance and courage are important to maintaining our stability. Monday's impatience, irritability, and disruptions are likely to have us looking for someplace to hide while the dust settles. We may not believe that we have the capacity to fully explain what we're seeing or feeling. We seem to be driven to try to apply an intellectual perspective on Tuesday but feel frustrated at every turn by emotional elements that aren't easily satisfied by our 'logic'. We need to be willing to detach ourselves enough to stand in the uncertainty at least long enough to establish some stability. The confusion of not knowing exactly what questions to ask in order to actually gain clarity feeds directly into the frustration that is building on Wednesday. We are offered the possibility of finding deeper compassion and setting aside harsh self-righteousness and judgement in favor of stronger connections and deeper empathy. We find the beginnings of a new and expanded perspective on Thursday but the insights are erratic and generally disorganized. Responsibility is key to avoiding jumping to irresponsible conclusions based on unreliable or incomplete information. Friday's atmosphere does not make it easy to honestly open up and effectively process the emotion and frustration that is underlying all of the activity. While violence and devastating disruptions are certainly suggested by the environment, we aren't likely to find as much decisive movement as we are looking for. Avoidance and escapism will only lead to discouragement on Saturday. If we aren't paying close attention, we may tend to be lured towards tempting distractions that can quickly derail the review process that is getting underway.
Sunday February 22, 2026
The Moon mediates today's Venus-Jupiter trine, with promising sextiles to both Venus and Jupiter from Taurus. Essentially, the Moon seems to ground the enthusiasm offered by Jupiter and Venus. Intuition is particularly well supported. The Taurus Moon encourages persistence and steady effort — something that might not ordinarily be offered by either Venus or Jupiter. As Mars aims toward a square to Uranus at the end of the week, perseverance and courage will be increasingly important to maintaining our stability. Whatever enthusiasm that we find today can help to carry us forward 'into the breach' with courage to face the challenges that are suggested by the upcoming Mars-Uranus square.Monday February 23, 2026
The Moon squares Mars this morning (9:18 AM PST) and goes on to conjunct Uranus by 2:28 PM PST — and then goes VOC. The morning's impatience, irritability, and disruptions are likely to have us looking for someplace to hide while the dust settles. We may not believe that we have the capacity to fully explain what we're seeing or feeling until the Moon arrives in Gemini early this evening (6:28 PM PST). It is extremely important to find some way to organize our thoughts around some kind of 'guiding principle' or a 'structured protocol'. We are getting clues today that will help to more effectively deal with the issues that will be coming forward under Friday's Mars-Uranus square. This waxing lunar cycle is helping us to find answers to the questions raised under the last lunar cycle. Whatever idealism that we're holding on to needs to be tempered by what we can actually see right in front of us — 'the facts on the ground'.Tuesday February 24, 2026
We seem to be driven to try to apply an intellectual perspective today but fell frustrated at every turn by emotional elements that aren't easily satisfied by our 'logic'. The Gemini Moon's emphasis on duality is rarely tested so directly as it is today. Situations are pulling us in opposing directions with intensifying force and insistence. There is a profound need to find some kind of 'dynamic balance'. We need to be willing to detach ourselves enough to stand in the uncertainty at least long enough to establish some stability. This is most likely a challenge to our sense of responsibility. The need to expand beyond dogmatic authorities is intensifying in ways that may feel extraordinarily destabilizing.Wednesday February 25, 2026
Mercury stations retrograde late this evening (10:47 PM PST) as it absorbs the glow from the extended conjunction with an 'exalted' Venus in Pisces — which just happens to still be carrying some light from Sunday's (double exalted) Venus-Jupiter trine. Unfortunately, there is more confusing idealism than intellectually clarity in all of this 'exaltation'. The confusion of not knowing exactly what questions to ask in order to actually gain clarity feeds directly into the frustration that is building towards Friday's Mars-Uranus square. Ultimately, although the confusion is quite palpable and seemingly intractable, Mercury's retrograde process offers considerable opportunity to find the clarity that seems to be lacking today. Mercury will retrograde back to conjunct the Pisces North Node when it stations direct on March 20th. We are offered the possibility of finding deeper compassion and setting aside harsh self-righteousness and judgement in favor of stronger connections and deeper empathy. The Moon goes VOC this afternoon (2:59 PM PST) following an energizing trine to Mars and won't arrive in Cancer until 9:10 PM PST, after which the squares to Saturn and Neptune only compound today's confusion.Thursday February 26, 2026
We find the beginnings of a new and expanded perspective today but the insights are erratic and generally disorganized. Responsibility is key to avoiding jumping to irresponsible conclusions based on unreliable or incomplete information. The Sun's conjunction with the Pisces North Node is enhanced by the Moon's trine around 11 AM PST this morning. We may need to check our sympathies in order to avoid falling for some 'sob stories'. Nonetheless, the empathy and compassion in this atmosphere is generally helpful in finding some much needed balance. The Mars-Uranus square is intensifying our frustration when facing any obstacles that are blocking important advancement towards much needed change. However, pushing too hard here is only likely to result in missed opportunities to further expand our overall perspective.Friday February 27, 2026
The Mars-Uranus square completes this morning (8:20 AM PST) but is soothed significantly by the Moon's trines to Mercury and Venus. The followup Moon-Chiron square this afternoon around 2 PM PST eventually opens the door to broader understanding. Nonetheless, this is not an easy atmosphere in which to honestly open up and effectively process the emotion and frustration that is underlying today's activity. While violence and devastating disruptions are certainly suggested by today's environment, we aren't likely to find as much decisive movement as we are looking for. Rather, this is a 'leading to' energy that is likely to find more definitive expression once we move beyond next Tuesday's Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces). That is not to say that we will find anything approaching 'clarity' then, only that we will find more productive opportunities for processing and releasing the frustrations that we find in today's atmosphere.Saturday February 28, 2026
As we move beyond the initial 'reset' or 'new beginning' offered by the completion of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction which occurred last week, there are increasingly strong urges to somehow 'arrive first' with the presentation of our new initiatives — essentially, the Aries restless impulsiveness to 'get this show on the road'. However, yesterday's Mars-Uranus square has highlighted the challenges and obstacles to really move out in new directions effectively. As Mercury retrogrades back through Pisces, we are encouraged to spend more time reflecting on 'how we got here' — blessing and releasing the past. Today's Leo Moon highlights the need to reconcile ego based aspirations with the deeply complicated emotional baggage that is still in need of processing. If we aren't paying close attention, we may tend to be lured towards tempting distractions that can quickly derail the review process that is getting underway. Avoidance and escapism will only lead to discouragement today.
Weekly Summary: MARCH 1 - MARCH 7 "There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love."— Lord ByronThe Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces) on Tuesday marks quietly — in true Virgo fashion — a significant turning point in an intense lunar cycle that began under an Aquarius New Moon Eclipse (February 17, 4:00 AM PST 28° Aquarius) that squared Uranus and was followed up by an intensely frustrating Mars-Uranus square. The atmosphere surrounding this Full Moon is fraught with emotional confusion around trust and 'love' — in terms of strong emotional connection — without providing us with any certainty about who to trust and how we really feel. The smoothest way through the intensity is to simply reflect on how we got here, rather than insisting on finding or implementing quick solutions. The 'fixed sign' emphasis in this lunar cycle breaks down under the Virgo Full Moon. Virgo's analysis initiates a swirl of new questions that cannot be avoided. With Mercury, ruling Virgo, retrograding in Pisces, there are certainly elements of confusion and uncertainty that continue to seem to see our slow our progress. Nonetheless, the Full Moon is quietly inspiring detailed investigation and a meticulous organization of grounded but expansive new perspectives. The arrival of Mars into Pisces on Monday highlights the focus on endings that permeates the culmination of the lunar cycle. Mars in Pisces helps us to 'plumb the depths' to find deeper understanding but can also stir emotional outbursts and encourage martyrdom. Both the Sun and Mercury make trines to the stationing Jupiter, from Pisces to Cancer, as Mercury retrogrades back to the 'inferior conjunction' with the Sun. The trines to Jupiter suggest significant optimism but the optimism may feel more like a distraction in this atmosphere, rather than something that can help to inform the grounded, expansive perspective we are seeking. Venus arrives in Aries early on Friday morning, joining Saturn and Neptune, stirring up even more intriguing questions that produce uncomfortable exchanges and interactions. There is a some impulsiveness and excitability that lacks any significant focus. Some of us may become more inclined towards defensiveness rather than the pursuit of answers. Nonetheless, as we reach the end of the week, at the 'inferior conjunction' of the Sun and Mercury, there is a 'destiny-driven' sense of purpose in our activity. The prospect of finding emotional relief begins to seem within reach. The potential for emotional resolutions is actually supported by the extraordinary intellectual capacity. We can finally begin to open up to the grounded, investigative support that was quietly offered by the Virgo Full Moon. It may have seemed that there was too much confusion and too many questions. However, as the process has unfolded, we can finally beginning to see actual results. As the emotional atmosphere begins to settle out, our intellectual analysis can finally begin to come to some clear, well-grounded solutions.
The tests we face on Sunday are important and need to be attended to. Nonetheless, there is a rebellious independence, suggesting a deep resentment to the 'questioning' and 'testing' that we seem to be forced to undergo. Monday represents a day of endings, punctuated by strong imperatives. We may be trying to find some way to 'stay ahead of the pack' without really understanding where we're heading. We struggle to understand what questions we need to be asking on Tuesday. The environment is offering us profound intuitive and spiritual insights if we are able to let go of expectations and simply observe what is going on around us. Wednesday offers a 'let it all hang out' attitude that is both engaging and exciting. However, this is certainly not the time to 'crow' about anything or indulge in self-righteousness. Thursday's optimism may be more of a distraction, rather than offering any kind of a reasonably grounded perspective that is not completely undercut by emotional blind spots. Unanswered questions seem to swirl. Friday's impulsiveness and excitability lacks any significant focus. Many of us are more inclined towards defensiveness than the pursuit of answers. The potential for emotional resolutions is actually supported by Saturday's extraordinary intellectual capacity. We can finally begin to open up to the grounded, investigative support that is offered.
Sunday March 01, 2026
The tests we face today are important and need to be attended to. Nonetheless, there is a rebellious independence here, suggesting a deep resentment to the 'questioning' and 'testing' that we seem to be forced to undergo. We may believe that we have more power than we actually do. Alternatively, navigating today's challenges may bring some of us to a place of humility and surrender. This evening's Moon-Chiron trine (6:07 PM PST) helps us to step back from our individual challenges long enough to recognize that we aren't alone. As well, there are important emotional hurdles that may be obscured by any tangible or material obstacles that we're facing. Even if we seem to adequately address whatever obstacles that we face today, the deeply rooted emotional elements may remain just below the surface.Monday March 02, 2026
The Moon arrives in Virgo early this morning after making an opposition to Mars — just before Mars arrives in Pisces (6:15 AM PST). This is a day of endings, punctuated by the quincunxes that the Moon makes to both Pluto as well as the Saturn/Neptune conjunction. Today's necessary adjustments are forcing us to stay flexible and avoid holding on too tightly to any previously laid plans. The Moon will be full tomorrow morning — a Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces) — and we are most likely to feel the strong imperatives that come with all Full Moons today. This Moon is ruled by the retrograding Mercury in Pisces, suggesting a great deal of confusing information that is not easily organized. We may be trying to find some way to 'stay ahead of the pack' without really understanding where we're heading. This atmosphere is fraught with confusion around trust and 'love' without providing us with any certainty about who to trust and how we really feel. The smoothest way through today's intensity is to simply reflect on how we got here, rather than insisting on finding or implementing quick solutions.Tuesday March 03, 2026
This morning's Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces) does not offer the sort of assistance that we may be looking for — it's hard to even understand what questions we should be asking. The arrival of Mars into Pisces yesterday has shifted our focus as we absorb the intense changes that have been spawned by the now waning Saturn-Neptune conjunction. We may begin to feel that our only option is to resort to martyrdom and blind emotional outbursts. However, this environment is offering us profound intuitive and spiritual insights if we are able to let go of expectations and simply observe what is going on around us. There is little obvious continuity here, making it especially difficult to understand exactly where we are and how we got here. Nonetheless, the Full Moon is quietly inspiring detailed investigation and the pursuit of grounded but expansive new perspectives. Finding someone to 'talk it out' with is especially helpful in this atmosphere — a good listener is worth a lot!Wednesday March 04, 2026
The Moon's 'bumpy ride' through Virgo comes to an end after an early morning trine to Uranus (6:52 AM PST). Once in Libra (10:55 AM PST), the mood improves quickly. The oppositions to Saturn and Neptune provide us with some extra perspective on the ongoing shifts and endings that we have been navigating. Venus (ruling the Libra Moon) makes a sextile to Uranus today, encouraging a 'let it all hang out' attitude that is both engaging and exciting. The evening is capped off by a trine to Pluto, which further encourages us to step back enough to gain a broader perspective on what we may have had to let go of and 'why' it had to go. However, this is certainly not the time to 'crow' about anything or indulge in self-righteousness. Emotions are likely to still be rather raw or unsteady.Thursday March 05, 2026
The Sun trines Jupiter today ahead of Jupiter's direct station next Tuesday — which we might hope would suggest a boost of optimism. However, the Moon's square to Jupiter and quincunx to the Sun disrupts the optimism with too many questions. Mercury will also retrograde back to trine Jupiter a couple more times this month after Saturday's inferior conjunction with the Sun. Essentially, there will continue to be more questions that we need to find answers to before we can emerge from this week's confusion and uncertainty with a reasonably grounded perspective that is not completely undercut by emotional blind spots. In this atmosphere, the optimism that Jupiter is offering may feel more like a distraction rather than something that can inform an expanded perspective. The Moon goes VOC this afternoon (3:22 PM PST) and won't arrive in Scorpio until tomorrow evening, leaving unanswered question swirling.Friday March 06, 2026
Venus arrives in Aries early (2:45 AM PST) this morning, joining Saturn and Neptune. Ruling the VOC Moon in Libra, Venus seems to stir up even more intriguing questions that produce uncomfortable exchanges and interactions. Today's impulsiveness and excitability lacks any significant focus. Many of us are more inclined towards defensiveness than the pursuit of any answers. The Moon's arrival in Scorpio this evening (8:01 PM PST) raises the stakes significantly but does seem to 'quiet the noise' briefly. However, the defensiveness increases and martyrdom may seem to be the only solution for some.Saturday March 07, 2026
Mercury retrogrades back to conjunct the Sun today — the 'inferior conjunction' — as Venus completes the conjunction with Neptune and heads into a conjunction with Saturn tomorrow. These aspects are punctuated by the Moon's early morning trine to Mars (3:32 AM PST) and square to Pluto (5:13 AM PST), suggesting a 'destiny-driven' sense of purpose in today's activity. The prospect of finding emotional relief begins to seem within reach here. The potential for emotional resolutions is actually supported by today's extraordinary intellectual capacity. We can finally begin to open up to the grounded, investigative support that was quietly offered under last Tuesday's Virgo Full Moon Eclipse (3:37 AM PST 12° Virgo/Pisces). Although it may have seemed that there was too much confusion and too many questions, as the process has unfolded, we are finally beginning to see actual results. As the emotional atmosphere begins to settle out, our intellectual analysis can finally begin to come to some clear, well-grounded solutions.
