Tuesday, February 26 :
Mercury Rx conjuncts Mars
This aspect is strong in the Full Moon chart, so there’s lots about it on the Full Moon in Virgo post

This is a very introspective Full Moon – and also very practical – in Virgo. Virgo wants to keep things organized, but Virgo is MUTABLE Earth and susceptible to nervous energy and anxiety – more so since . Virgo’s ruler is Mercury and Mercury is Retrograde in Pisces and conjunct Mars. Not only can introspection throw FULL MOON light on nagging inner doubts – it can reveal inner anger – expressed in Piscean ways – more subconscious than conscious – what we tag as “passive/aggressive” if you are a fan of labels. I think they’re limiting of real thought. This time period of Full Moon/Mercury Rx with Mars is MUCH MORE REVEALING than you imagine! That is beyond your control. Will it reveal something interesting in your psyche. Take your rants out of the same ol’ tapeloop by looking a little deeper.

Wednesday, February 27 :
Sun conjuncts Chiron
Time to awaken your inner teacher.
This is when you become the teacher – your own hero. You have the confidence from what you’ve learned and now you can use it to lead and influence.
As Mercury – Mars – Venus – Sun – Chiron – join in early Pisces, are you listening, or doing your monolog. Do you connect? Genuinely? Or are you looking for the next opening to talk. If we can’t sit still, we chatter. If we can sit with our Selves, we can hear our Selves. And to get to that point a teacher, guide, or practice can help.

Thursday, February 28 :
Venus conjuncts Neptune
Beauty and illusion wrapped up in love and compassion. Compassion? Seemingly out of fashion-?) This aspect is pure idealism, unspoiled by harsh or negative vibrations. It can raise your vibrations. It’s also fragile and delicate, and inspirational if you swim with it. If you think this is “just sentimental fluff,” it can disappear… poof! Back to earth.
Let the love vibrations flow ~

Friday, March 1 :
Sun sextiles Pluto
Sun trines Saturn
Mars squares Ceres
Big things are coming together. You can be powerful AND compromise.
It’s not that you can’t afford something, it’s that no matter how big your budget – you need to spend according to priorities. There may be a lot of excess to cut off now. The important question – are you cutting for revenge – or – to focus your energy and resources on your priorities?

Since today’s astro pattern is about budgets for BIG money & power – it’s of great benefit to look at it from a broader perspective. Sun is trine Saturn and sextile Pluto – all at 11 degrees. This puts Pluto at the Sun/Saturn midpoint, or, Sun/Saturn=Pluto

Sun/Saturn=Pluto. This is PRESSURE. Ebertin describes this midpoint as “inhibitions in mental development, psychical or inner peculiarities, lack of vitality – A mental, emotional, or physical crisis.”
This midpoint is about being physically limited by our own psychological dysfunctions. We have access to the resources, but we need to decide how to share them effectively to keep them going. Is this really about a functional plan – or is it dysfunctional obstruction? On a personal level, how do your dysfunctions make you resistant? Since this picture is created by 2 sextiles and a trine – it’s possible to make the necessary compromises that will balance this out. What will bring more sustained long-term growth, and what’s excessive that can you cut out? It may not be the instant answer you think.

The SUN-PLUTO-SATURN pattern of March 1 is EXTREMELY CRUCIAL because it is highlighting the Saturn-Pluto SEXTILE – exact again on March 8. This is a long-term sextile that creates an ideal relationship/climate for business and government. It is no wonder that merger fever is in the news.

A leak in your energy can bring you down – or – you can take another look at what you were expecting and if you’re disappointed – why.
