astrology of february 24-march 2

Here is the forecast for this week of February 24-March 2. Firstly, Mars stations direct; the purpose behind Martial difficulties that have been present since September, or a path ahead, should be emerging. The Capricorn moon will be opposing the Mars station, providing a pragmatic approach that Mars in Cancer lacks.

Mercury and Saturn come together in Pisces during the beginning of the week. This is like putting your thoughts, dreams, and words under a microscope, examining them with a critical eye. Neptune and the North Node remain in Pisces, making the microscope impossible to focus. Mercury then goes on to join the North Node and Neptune over the weekend; things really are not what they seem, double check that messages are sent, received, and understood. This transit does offer some opportunity for creative endeavors. If you change the microscope lens to a kaleidoscope, there is lots of beauty in closer reach than usual. Artistic expression may indeed be the best way to work through the tension in the air; Mars is trine Saturn, in the water signs, and this malefic configuration rules over the measly benefic Venus-Jupiter sextile. There is a deep, consequential emotional undertone that can be channeled into beautiful creative work.

On Friday, there is a Pisces new moon. This new moon is gearing us up for the quickly approaching eclipse season. Pisces can be a slippery place, lacking clarity; the Sun and Moon can bring some light to what is going on in the Pisces realm; providing the week’s best opportunity for precise insight. A lovely day for creation, reflection, and wild imagination. Many astrologers have poignantly noted the themes of death, rebirth, creation, and conception that exist in the transition between Pisces and Aries, since the upcoming retrogrades will take us on a journey through that space. It is magical energy, where Pisces has access to all that is seen and unseen and Aries has the power to declare something into existence. This new moon gives us an opportunity to set intentions for what we want to create in the coming weeks; stretch past usual limits of practicality and reach for something that borders on unrealistic.

Saturday and Sunday we experience an Aries moon, providing some support to the Cancer Mars similar to the beginning of the week. It’s time to put some of your intentions to action. On Sunday, Venus will stations retrograde in Aries, so the topics of relationships, values, finances, aesthetics are moving slow and about to invert. Take note of where things stand right now; the shifts that 2025 are now beginning.
