Full moon in Virgo at 10:20 AM
Each evening the waxing moon will greet us as it travels across the dusky to dark sky, ripening towards fullness. The week opens up with the moon’s first quarter square to the sun. This stage of the moon eggs us into decisive action and asks us to move towards and with our creations in confidence. Witnessing the swell of La Lune is useful magic to work with as we grow the seeds of our intentions. Never knowing the true potential of what we plant, we can learn to watch the development of our intentions with curiosity instead of judgment, love instead of fear and a discerning eye so that we can assist our creation’s growth when possible.
The moon will be full on the morning of Monday, February 22nd, making this week a lead up to its peak.
Venus shifts signs from Capricorn to Aquarius and the sun shifts from Aquarius to Pisces this week. This swap into and out of Aquarius means that there is still a lot of ground to cover in the areas of our chart that contain Aquarius and there is a shift of conscious awareness and a spot light on the area of our chart that contains Pisces.
Venus will have a much easier time all round in Aquarius than she did in Capricorn. In fact Venus will only encounter “easy” aspects here. So while Aquarius isn’t a sign that she has any particular strength in (though she will have temporary strength there next week), Venus can use the innovative Aquarian energy to pursue intellectually illuminating connections that stimulate a sense of universal love, equality and humanitarian aims. Her travels through Aquarius will assist us in the area of our charts that contain Aquarius.
Aquarius is traditionally ruled by Saturn and while Venus is in Aquarius she will form a sextile (a signature Venus move) with Saturn. This bodes well for Venus and for whatever it is that we are developing in this area of our lives.
The sun’s move into the vast seas of Pisces is a little different. In the watery and undefined terrain of the fishes, the sun in Pisces will come across some mighty winds and treacherous waves. But that weather report is better to be given a little closer the storm (the sun’s travels through the Saturn/Neptune square and the solar eclipse in Pisces on March 8th). For now (and especially from Wednesday to Friday when the moon is in Cancer) we can make use of the sensitive, intuitive, peacemaking, imaginal realm that a water sign like Pisces opens us up to.
Additionally Mars, the rough and tumble bad apple/valiant warrior of our astrology system, will enter the earliest aspect of its upcoming retrograde (April 17th-June 29th) this week. Mars is not yet retrograde, it’s just now in the terrain in which it will retrace once it is. This means that from now to the earliest days of summer we will be finding ourselves struggling with, working on and redefining our relationship to our desire, drive and our ability to take action. When Mars goes retrograde, it’s a time to review all these things and more. It’s also a time that can ask us to slow down, redirect and redistribute our get up and go.
*Horoscopes are meant to be read as inspiration. If you know your rising sign, please read it. Reading your rising sign gives you specifics as to how the astrology is landing in your personal chart. That does not mean that your rising sign is more important than your sun sign, it’s just another layer of understanding your personal astrology. If you don’t know your rising sign, read your sun sign. If you know both your rising sign and sun sign, please read both. They both contain important information. You’ll know which resonates more for you from week to week. Take what works for you, leave the rest. There is no right way to do this, it’s all just a friendly suggestion. If you find inspiration here we love and appreciate donations. If you want to share this work you must quote it and link it to this post and website. Thank you for your support and for spreading the work around, we really appreciate it and you!
Look for those that have the same hunger in their stride as you do. Catch up to those that outflank fools with their wise and wide gait. Speak up so that the giants of generosity know you are there. Grow yourself so that you feel worthy to stand amongst them. Know your place. You are made of the same stuff that the grass that grows through the thickest concrete is.
Your nature is relentless.
And a gift. Even when it tires you. Even when it pounds its fists on your sweetly set table, making a mockery out of your efforts to keep order. Even when it rings the bell just as you are nodding off. Even then. Your relentless nature is a sight to behold. Behold your ability to move through the thickness of this world. Behold the life force inside of you that refuses to be trapped by the sleekly set pathways of production. Behold your edges, just rough enough that they cut through niceties that only aim to numb.
And then behold the intricate, the delicate, the supple and the sublime in you. Behold your true nature and connect to those around you that are unafraid of it.

Nothing is as rich as the texture of our voice when we speak from our own experience. Nothing is as resonant as a soul emerging from the throat of truth. Nothing is as arresting as the one who is unafraid of themselves.
When it comes from this place, our work can make up for many of our shortcomings. When it comes from this place, our work can uphold the riches that live deep within us. When it comes from this place, our work can show us what it means to be in relationship with a great and mighty love. Gaze into its eyes and be devoured by its longing for you.
Our work wants us. Our talent tails us. Our smashing smarts seek us constantly. Sometimes all we need to do is turn towards it and give it back its name. Don’t let your greatest resource wander around orphaned. Claim your know-how. Claim your craft. Claim yourself.
There is much to delight in now. There is much to enjoy under these stars. There is much to begin, if you aren’t careful, to get tangled in. Interpersonal messiness. Mean streaks. Mad Men. Steer clear by putting your energy into your love for what your work can do and does do through you.

Love is wiser than we are. Showing up in the guises that are sure to get our attention. Inspiring us to go on journeys we would have never considered. Reminding us of the possibilities that await us if we are willing to take the trip. Love longs to be understood and yet cannot be. Love wants to be known, like the back of our hand, like the beating of our heart, like the breath that breathes us.
Love will come, whether we invite it or not. But it will only stay if it feels welcomed.
Pay attention to romances that may develop along the treasure hunts you were sent you out on last week. What looks longingly at you? What helps your heart stretch? How many ways can you fall in love with the day? What are you learning from those that have stuck it out and stuck around? What have you learned about staying the course?
This week the suns rays begin to warm up your 10th house of career and reputation. As it does, there is perhaps a greater yearning to shine, a louder call for you to come out and a natural unfolding of your light in all you do. Enjoy whatever ease is there. There is enough challenge, enough tests and many opportunities coming your way that will help you to step up and step out of your comfort zone in the most public of ways in the coming days of March.

You get to learn about your fears from another angle. You get to learn how to relate to the things that may be historically difficult for you while in a sturdy place. You get to see how you are supported even when you have to address what otherwise would take you down.
You get to see how much you’ve grown, and how far you’d like to go.
You get to learn about the intricacies of intimacy. How to heal the places that got trampled. How to heal the part that learned how to trample back. How to know the harm done to you and the harm that you did too. You get to see yourself as a full human being.
Complex. Right. Wrong. Neither. Both. And.
You get to move out into the world with this reminder. To see it in all things and all beings as you travel. Pack this compassionate gaze as you go from place to place. Add it into the mix of all you say. Notice when others afford it to you. Be grateful of the times you feel a camaraderie amidst the busyness of your days. As the full moon peaks on February 22nd, you’ll most likely notice an increase in your activity, and how over the past 8 months this has been steadily on the rise. Add awareness back into your schedule. Otherwise the days whip by and we’ve forgotten to put ourselves in them.

There are times when we love more freely. Give of ourselves without condition. Seek to understand rather than to be understood. Feel free to forgive ourselves our former transgressions.
There are times when we act right, not because someone told us to but because we are acting from our integrity. Because we want to remember ourselves as having tried to access our own goodness, our own heart, our own ability to be a kind, fair and gentle soul.
There are times when we feel less afraid of rejection. We remember that as long as we don’t align with someone else’s rejection of us, as long as we don’t reject ourselves, we can still thrive through most things.
There are times when we seek to learn how to become a unit, in an agreement, with a team of others. There are times when we have to see all that we fear about such merging, but even in that we gain access to a deeper connection to ourselves. We gain a more intimate knowledge of how to work with what we fear, what we want to disown and what we want to look away from.
There are times when the deeper work is less scary because love walks us through it. This is that time.

Primer is important. It steadies the surface for an inevitable onslaught of color. It covers a bare canvas in expectation of iridescence. A thin layer that isn’t protective, but it readies the space for what is to come.
There is a lot of energy (the sun) coming to the part of your chart that deals with intimate relationships. There is much, much more to come in this area of your life over the next 3 weeks.
There is also a full moon in Virgo preparing to light up your sign on Monday, February 22nd. That gives us a distinct pattern to work with. This is a pattern of opposition, with self-exploration, recognition and appreciation coming your way at the same time as issues of intimacy, partnership and compatibility.
This is about you plus them, you minus them, you next to them, you against them and all other combinations concerned. The way through this and the way to work your way into this is to dedicate yourself to the daily rituals that keep you clearing out the old, cleaning out the fear and learning your way out of the rusty dust that hangs around your thoughts and makes you act like you forgot who you are.

It’s time to heal through joy. Even if your recent path has unearthed old sorrows, familial loss or a shift in your foundation. Even when you are still searching for ways to put yourself back together. Even while you are nursing heartbreak. Even then.
Find fun. Find pleasure. Find your way to healing through love. Through intimacy. Through finger painting. Through dance. Through play. Through your children. Through the children in your life. Find it. Remember the reckless creativity that birthed you. Remember the irreverent nature that you rode in on. Remember the cosmic belly laugh that brought you here.
Take your growth seriously. Take your healing with a spoonful of hope. Take yourself out on as many dates as you can squeeze into your calendar. Dress up for your day. Dress up for play. Dress up to give yourself leeway. Try beauty on and wear it in honor of every agony, every hard lesson learned and every bit of wisdom gained.

Lusciousness starts to fill your fortune. The sun’s entrance into Pisces is a fertile one for you. Pisces is a sign that governs a part of your chart that deals with how you attract what you attract and if you feel attracted to it. Love, dear lover. Pisces is a sign that is prolific in its abilities, talented at many a thing and able to move in multitudes of directions.
These waters know no bounds.
This part of your life will be asking for your attention in the coming weeks as it will soon be the host to a solar eclipse. The lessons and laws of attraction will be in full effect and filling your inbox with all kinds of love lessons and creative coaching to get caught up on.
For now it is enough to watch out for what wants to be brought to life through you. For now it’s important to see what is emerging and what might need your encouragement. For now it would be a good idea to take advantage of the prevailing skies and enjoy yourself and the pleasant tone that is temporarily echoing through your halls and supporting your current stance.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
This week the sun sinks down to the base of your chart, highlighting and/or foreshadowing upcoming events, needs, nuances and negotiations that must be made in order to make peace with your past. Issues around home, family or finding your footing will become a pressing and possibly purifying area of life for you to work with.
It’s time to reclaim your ground.
Agreeing to heal the issues we were taught not to pay attention to is like lighting the ghosts of our past up in neon lights. It is a sight we cannot un-see. It is a message we cannot un-know. It is a truth we cannot untie ourselves from once it has burned its message into our beings.
The information that you receive this week may not be so bold. Not quite. Not yet. Listen closely to the murmurings, the hints and the advice that may come to you easily and freely. Many folks may be on your to-do list, many social engagements might be demanding you attendance. Much information and good news wants to come your way. Take notes. You’ll want to bring them with you once the planets pick up their rhythm. Once the heavenly rocks start to roll. Once emotional tides pick up and carry you with them.
Even though this week is quieter than most, celestially speaking, the undercurrents can be incredibly enlightening. See how far you have come in terms of steadying yourself inside of yourself and always, always, acknowledge the ways in which you are sturdy. Any reinforcement of what you are able to manage will make everything that you need to manage much more manageable. With a full moon in your 10th house of career on February 22nd, there’ll be much to successfully manage and many ways for you to be seen for what you do and how well you do it.

There are some important advancements that you can make in the coming weeks that will help to fill your pocket book, and self-esteem bank account. Listen for the hints and tips that encourage you to value your efforts. Look for the relationships that arrive that help to reveal the real worth of your gifts. Look for the quality of your own gaze when you witness what you make.
Seeing ourselves through the value system of another can falsely plummet the worth of our work. Instantly. There is no greater destroyer of our raw talent than comparison. There is no greater devourer of the human spirit than the ticks and tallies of corporate assessment. You are not a dispensary. You are a soul, soulfully engaged with its own creative and playful spirit.
Your daily life will see a definite increase in activity. Your message is about to be spread far and wide. You may begin to feel pulled in multiple directions. You may want to escape from having to choose one path or the other. Stay open to possibility right now. There will be enough events that will ask you to define your deal soon enough. For now stay in the wide mouth of creation.

The coming days flutter about you like a flight of philanthropist faeries. The gifts may not be obvious, or even as big as you wish them to be, but do you really want to slight the spirits that surround you?
Sometimes when we don’t acknowledge a gift it tends not too have too much of an effect.
It’s easy to be a foot stomping, blundering, faerie-home-crashing fool but you can counter such actions by attuning yourself to subtle gifts and hopeful sentiments. You can sway things in your favor by remembering to enjoy your interactions with others as much as possible. Make your goal connection. Make it your aim to leave each person you come into contact with feeling like you really noticed them, like you really saw them, like you witnessed them.
The full moon on Monday, February 22nd will illuminate the ways in which you have learned to partner and join forces with others. This full moon can help you with the necessary financial support if that’s the kind of help that you need. This week you can finesse the full moon’s impact by showing up to support those that are in your sphere.
In short, you’ve got Venus on your side, with no side eye and plenty of party tricks that have the power to connect you to those you want to meet and be with and those that can propel you along your path. Go forth and socialize.

Day breaks and with it comes some clarity. The sun initiates your sign with its yearly jaunt through Piscean territory, warming up your waters and informing you about your year ahead.
It’s going to be a big one.
With an up coming eclipse in your sign you are being urged to go with the flood waters, but to do so intentionally. You aren’t without an opinion. You aren’t without a point of view. You aren’t without your specific take on life, love or an ability to bust out of your cocoon.
You might not be able to withstand the waves that come but hear me when I say that now is the time to work on your butterfly stroke. Become a master at learning how to effectively spread your wings. Become curious about how you can keep developing your role in the world. Become your best bet at accomplishing your goals. No savior is coming. Save yourself.
This week is fairly mellow. Take advantage of it by making sure you are stocked up on essentials and build on your skills.
The upcoming full moon on Monday February 22nd will bring about all that you have learned in love and partnership over the past 8 months, what to keep and what to let the waters claim for their own. Pay attention to what you do with excess attention and excessive feelings.
