16 February - 22 February 2025 (all timings given in U.T.C.)

16 February 2025

This morning, feelings and the general mood tend towards a sociable, graceful and balanced approach. There is a good opportunity to bring someone into an idea that could be expanded upon. You sense you could learn alot from a particular person, hence the friendly suggestion. However, it is worth remembering that your notions, really are your ideas, do you have to get everyone else involved? By the earlier afternoon, there might be some mild tension around continuing on the same path together, or instead, keeping as a seperate individual. This mild adjustment potentially could keep ramping up to some uncomfortable tension as the evening progresses, so be ready for some sharp responses or cut-downs, especially from someone whose sensitive about protectivness.

The Moon in Airy Libra spends all day courting and getting closer to the Sun in Aquarius, generally bringing a good vitality to the day, and nice feeling, through which you can do whatever you have to do. You might not feeling like working very hard, but theres little resistance anyways, so a general harmony prevails. Partners and friendships can understand each other particularly well. The evening is better than the daytime, and its only at the end of the day, that the real and best outcome can be expected.

18 February 2025

The Moon is now in Scorpio, deepening and intensifying reactions and responses. This morning the Sun changes sign into water element Pisces and together with the sun and moon now in water signs, makes for a distinctly reflective and intutive feel to the day. Emotions start to become alot more important, and there will be a considerable increase in empathy and compassion, with possible strong emotional outbreaks around boundaries, and crossing the line of acceptability, as the moon is answering to Mars in Cancer. Later this afternoon, the Moon makes a harmonious alignment to Mercury, who is also now in highly imaginative pisces. This is a super sensitive combination, and the general mood might be ‘whats it like to be in someone else’s position?’ imagination and visualistion are very potent today.

19 February 2025

With the Moon in Scorpio all day then its likely the atmosphere is strongly determined. There maybe an emotional heavyweight to deal with. Instead of being laboured by invisible burdens, is it possible to show strength and support using passionate resistance? Whatever today is about, take note of the need for survival, and the need for control. The Moon connects to Mars, Saturn and Uranus. Moon harmoniously connects to Mars, which links desires with action. The Moon then moves onto Saturn which links to ‘the rules’, or feelings about blockages and barriers. Lastly, the Moon opposes Uranus: you might find someone is being confrontational through demanding changes, and the resulting reactions are strange, eccentric, or alienating. Someone might try it on with an ultimatum, or have an excuse to be extreme. If required batten down your hatches, keep your head below the parapet, and let the storm pass over the top?

20 February 2025

Early morning risers sense an empathic feeling to start the day: the moons still in Scorpio, where everything gets deepened, so one might encounter an intense imagination, linked to self-sacrifice; look out for a “can’t you see what I do for you?” type of situation. Just around lunchtime a distinct mood shift as Moon enters Sagittarius, generally brightening the afternoon, and encouraging care-free responses. Its time to think adaptability as we reach Last Quarter phase. For three weeks you stayed firm and unmoved, even when encountering peculiar or quirky situations. Now feelings flow around the edges and change your position, so a better unification and understanding can occur. Who knows what you’ll decide to do – you might like to reflect on whats happening in nature: its the last month before spring, when the frozen ground of winter softens and water starts to move underneath, ready for spring. The challenge is in making up your mind, and this evening mercury perfects its challenge to Jupiter. There are so many ideas, for so many directions and choices.. which ones do you go for? Theres chaos if you try to do everything. Where’s the filter when you need it the most?

21 February 2025

Its Venus day (Vendredi) and the moon in Sagittarius aligns beautifully with Venus during the rush hour. As Venus is in Aries, her affections are delivered spontaneously, directly and impulsively. So, if you happen to experience a love at first sight, can you follow it through, catch up, and say what you feel? Theres a fair amount of fire and air energy floating around today, with plenty ripples of water moved by its warm breeze. Essentially its fun and positive, if you can encapsulate emotions. So, at noon, relating might still be on your mind, with an opportunity to speak your truth, or opinion. What are you going to say when straight afterwards the moon moves to mercury, who is splish- splashing in the deep waters of pisces. glub. It might be a challenge to put into words ones feelings and impressions; the answer is to find a song that expresses it, or a poem, or even a picture – because art brings meaning to everything.

22 February 2025

As the moon continues to sail through freedom loving sagittarius, enjoy a day for dreaming; try visiting an art gallery or museum to help you visualise. Beasutiful things will help you ponder as inspiration arises out of your bubbling and enthusiatic feelings. As the day progresses, fine antennae attune you to the mystic experience and you might well have a moment or two that holds alot of meaning. You see the moon is answering to Jupiter in Gemini, and Jupiter is answering to Mercury in pisces, who in turn is answering back to Jupiter again. This is a lovely creative imagining loop, so theres a lot of traffic in the aethers. Its more than a good idea to sketch or write down whats coming through. By the evening as the moon perfects to Neptune you might not be prepared to face criticism from anyone, so maybe enjoy more time into the escapist space you created, right up until the Moon changes sign into Capricorn, just after 11pm, which will land you back to earth with a practical bump, and assure you to stay on course with your ambitions and focus on the real things again.
