ASTROLOGY

Venus entered Pisces on February 10 and will move through the sign for the whole month, working to soften our hearts. Mercury joins the North Node in Pisces on February 12, bringing intuitive, impactful messages. February 14 marks a major threshold as Saturn joins Neptune in fiery self-confident Aries, signaling a cycle reset around will, identity, and how spiritual vision becomes embodied action. This is also Valentine’s Day — try to use the extra sparks for fun and connection rather than reacting defensively. 

With Saturn and Neptune now together in Aries, we experience both completion and initiation. Interestingly, this event closely coincides with the Chinese New Year on February 17, when the collective shifts from the Chinese astrological energies of Wood Snake (shedding and release) to Fire Horse (action, boldness, and momentum). That same day, the Aquarius new eclipse moon occurs and will be paired with Venus conjunct the North Node in Pisces. February 23 carries volatile energy as Mars will square Uranus. These few days will be electric and a little edgy, so watch out for impulsivity. And when Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces on February 26, aim to trust your intuition while also being on the lookout for misunderstandings. 

The Virgo full moon on March 3 brings discernment and a connection to practical concerns. Venus enters Aries on March 6, sharing the sky with Saturn and Neptune and asking us to check in on what desires are truly worth committing to.

NATURAL MAGIC

For this month’s wild mashup of the Chinese New Year and the new eclipse moon in Aquarius with Venus conjunct the North Node in Pisces, create a simple water manifestation ritual. Fill a bowl of spring water with rose quartz, a seashell, or moonstone (or all three!). Before bed, name one desire you are ready to receive (if you can do this outside, under the dark, starry sky, that is wonderful, but if it’s too cold then do it in your cozy home). Next, dip your fingers in the water and touch your heart and temples while naming your desire. Then place the water near your bed and go to sleep, letting your dreams and the water magic work overnight. In the morning, once again dab the water on your heart and temples. Journal your thoughts and emotions on what you received in your dreams.

In honor of the Virgo full moon eclipse on March 3, engage in a practical purification ritual by cleaning your altar, desk, or closet. As you organize and clear out what’s no longer needed, also speak aloud which habits or obligations are no longer sustainable for you. This full moon rewards discernment, and its magic looks like clarity, action, and devotion to what truly works
