Weekly Energy Forecast
This week’s astrology invites reflection, stillness, and intuitive connection. We enter the Last Quarter Moon phase, a natural time for evaluation—looking back at what has unfolded and considering what needs to be released before the next cycle begins. This aligns with Mercury trine Mars, a transit that encourages thoughtful reflection ahead of Mars stationing direct. It’s a moment to pause, process, and gain clarity before things start moving forward again.
The energy this week is soft, watery, and intuitive, mirroring the quiet nature of late winter. This season isn’t just about rest and nourishment—it’s also a time for deep stillness and inner connection. With significant momentum building in March and April, now is the time to nourish your dreams, soothe your spirit, and ground yourself before the pace picks up.
Astro Highlights of This Week
Tuesday 18th February
Sun Enters Pisces
The shift from Aquarius’ cool logic to Pisces’ soft, dreamy, and compassionate energy marks a transition from air to water.
Pisces season is the final chapter before the energetic momentum of spring—making it an ideal time to reflect, dream, and tap into intuition.
This is a potent period for creative exploration, imagination, and the birth of new ideas that may not yet have a fixed form.
Themes of spirituality, emotion, and deep inner knowing come into focus, making this a powerful time for introspection and connection with the unseen.
With Saturn also in Pisces, this season carries a slightly different flavour—dreams may require structure, and emotions may be tempered by a sense of responsibility.
We are also moving towards eclipse season, hinting at significant shifts and transformations on the horizon.
Thursday 20th February
Mercury in Pisces squares Jupiter in Gemini
Mercury, the planet of communication, forms a challenging square with Jupiter, the planet of expansion and wisdom.
These planets are in mutual reception, meaning they understand each other’s energy, but both are also in their fall—indicating struggles in fully expressing their strengths.
This transit may bring confusion, lack of clarity, or difficulty seeing the bigger picture, making it challenging to make firm decisions.
Alternatively, there may be a sense of being trapped in logic, unable to access the more fluid, intuitive aspects of thinking.
Rather than seeking a grand vision, focus on the immediate step in front of you—sometimes, clarity emerges through action rather than thought.
Sunday 23rd February
Mercury in Pisces trines Mars Retrograde in Cancer at 17 degrees
A significant moment of understanding and compassion, particularly in relation to the themes of Mars retrograde.
With Mars nearly stationary direct, this transit holds extra weight—offering insights into the challenges and tensions experienced since 6th December.
This is a powerful day for reflection: What has come to the surface in the past few months? Where have you encountered resistance, frustration, or emotional intensity?
Acknowledge where you have felt stagnant, weighed down, or like you’ve been moving through mud. What have these experiences taught you?
Consider what is ready to be released—this transit supports the process of letting go and preparing for forward movement as Mars gets ready to pick up speed.
