Hello!
I hope my horoscope newsletter finds you well and that you are happy and safe where you are! Happy birthday to all of my Piscean subscribers <3 This week I have a lot going on ~ family surgery, school… so I am sorry about the delay in this horoscope but happy to be sharing it with you now <3
*
This is the week that the North Node and Chiron finally come together in their exact conjunction ~ this happens on Monday. I’ve been writing about this in the last few months and I have written about three horoscopes for each rising sign on this conjunction for paid subscribers if that is something that you’re looking for :) And I’d like to take a moment to emphasize the communication between Aries and Aquarius that we are going to witness and are witnessing in a series of sextiles. The Sun and Mercury in Aquarius have already reached out to the North Node and Chiron, helping us to feel understood in whatever weird process we are going through. Venus and Mars, moving together through the sign of Aquarius, will also reach out to Chiron and the North Node at the end of February and beginning of March. The North Node and Chiron in Aries will still be together even as they pass their exact conjunction ~ and is a certain specific weirdness that we are all experiencing in some part of our lives. In some ways these sextiles mark a bit of a cleansing of the slate.
When the North Node and Chiron come together it is most certainly not easy and actually draws attention towards sometimes what we are trying to suppress or avoid or ignore. It honestly just looks uncomfortable sitting still in the sign of Aries, which is our connection to our body. Feeling dissociated from your body, especially with Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Pisces, is something that may be very easy to do but I caution against that. Healing to the body through processing uncomfortable emotions is an extremely beneficial use of this transit.
Now that the Sun is in Pisces, it is facing down Saturn and Neptune. We are approaching the finale of Neptune in Pisces since 2011 and with Saturn’s edition on March 7th of 2023, in a sense we all still don’t really even know what this transit is even about, but we’re about to find out in the course of the next month. These themes of avoidance, escapism, spirituality, discipline, sobriety, addiction have been certainly wrapping around in many ways but now are going to become very relevant. The experience of this transit with a challenged mental health compared to being pretty regulated is likely to be quite different.
I would anticipate that on the world level we could see a rise in religious extremism of all kinds and events around that, some type of new escape route emerging to compensate for the fraying structures in society and the situation at the southern border and with immigration in general coming to a relative boiling point. We may also hear some troubling news about water. This week does have some interesting signatures of some pretty shocking world events, honestly, but at this point it’s 2024 so we should be understanding that we are in a time of heightened complexity… more things are vying for our attention for a reason in this decade.. and through lived experience I continue to believe that could be potentially to prevent or dissuade a personal spiritual inheritance ~ a returning and reclamation ~ that is available to each person. Otherwise the narrative wouldn’t be working so hard this year.
In our personal lives it’s important to look at the part of our charts that have Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus and Gemini as these signs are really in the hot seat this year. All of the personal planets are moving through these like a wave over ALL the outer planets while all the planets mostly (except Mercury and then Pluto) are direct. This is very powerful and intense astrology that I think we’ll remember for years to come in our personal lives as we have the opportunity to change directions and heal ourselves on a deeper level than we understand right now, even, through the unknown elements 2024 has to offer.
Last week, Mars and Venus met with Pluto and this week they will meet up with each other after their connection on top of Pluto in Capricorn and then into Aquarius in the spring of 2022. There is a lot that is actually resolving for us in the wake of this.
Monday we will be hyper aware of the change in direction, the discomfort of the unknowingness of who we are becoming through this strange moment in time. The moon will be in Cancer actually in a square to this exact conjunction prior to moving into Leo on Wednesday. This leads us into feeling perhaps quite emotionally vulnerable, really experiencing as well the very last cathartic moments of this incredibly intense Mars-Venus cycle we are coming out of as we approach a bit of a reset as far as our relationships, values, receiving, giving, acting, resting, money, vitality… there’s a bit of a shedding of the last of the dredges of the old in the beginning of this week.
The moon on Wednesday moves into Leo in an exact opposition to Pluto, Venus and Mars which is extremely intense, honestly, especially for those of us that have planets in the early degrees of the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) and as this Aquarius story arc becomes more and more clear, this presents for us an opportunity to prematurely respond and react, honestly. Clarity actually does come through this Mars-Venus conjunction in Aquarius on Thursday (2.22) and at that point the moon will have moved on, indicating the potential for an emotional misunderstanding and then a resolve through this conjunction at 6* Aquarius on Thursday.
I am just going to go ahead and assume that there could be a lot of breakups this week, a lot of shocking new connections and surprising new adventures to witness in our lives and the lives of others. This horoscope shares how this conjunction might impact your rising sign as well as the Saturn-Mercury-Sun cazimi that is happening at the end of the month.
Friday, Mercury will move into the sign of Pisces where it is in fall, so we’re going to have to work a bit harder to be clear in our communication and speech. Mercury will be in Pisces until March 10th and then it will spend a considerable chunk of time (until May 15th) in Aries and will take a retrograde station in April. Use Mercury in Aquarius this week to think and communicate clearly and to do the filing and the organizing of things that need to be done, if you can focus in spite of the Aquarius conjunctions happening.
Mercury in Pisces is extremely creative, telepathic, spiritual but can sometimes struggle with deception or fogginess and not getting its point across. Throughout the rest of February and beginning of March, Mercury (just like the Sun) will meet up with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, which will reveal even more about the Pisces story arc, the Pisces part of our chart. The balance between having compassion for others and then over-identifying with others suffering so much that you accidentally create it for yourself is a thin line to walk.
Friday evening (EST) the moon will move into Virgo and will wax towards its fullness early on Saturday morning. This full moon in Virgo (5*) will be in an opposition to Saturn (8*) and Mercury (2*) in Pisces which actually kind of comes in as a reality check which could be actually quite helpful as the last full moon prior to yet another round of eclipses. This will help us to sweep the dust we no longer need out of our lives, to clean things up and to get organized, grounded… but I do feel like this can bring up some sobering moments and anxiety if we are not properly regulated. We will be called on our personal balance between giving and taking. Check out how this full moon will impact you personally below.
Also on Saturday, Venus in Aquarius will be squaring Jupiter in Taurus which is kinda interesting and calls my mind back to last year when Venus was in Leo in her descent/retrograde phase. I think in some senses we are experiencing the unraveling or re-raveling and tying up of whatever was going on last year in August, September and October. This transient aspect of Venus squaring Jupiter can also indicate something that *seems* good but isn’t… so just stay in touch with yourself and your intuition over the weekend.
Enjoy your week! Full moon horoscopes available for everyone below <3 thanks again for the grace on this tardy horoscope. <3

Virgo
This full moon is happening in your sign, Virgo, coming as an opportunity to come back to yourself and take stock. This is certainly a full moon for you to get organized and to get rid of a bunch of stuff, physical and/or emotional. You’ve been going through quite a time with regards to your relationships ~ platonic, familial, romantic ~ they’ve all been putting you through the ringer. You might find that there are a few qualities internally that you’re seeing in the mirror of others that you are ready to part ways with as you come up against potential criticism or restriction in your relationships. There’s a misconception that we can’t change people, but we can change ourselves genuinely which then changes everything in our external lives. As you change states and improve, so too do the people around you, so this is the time to pour that fix-it energy into yourself in a whole new way.
Libra
Everything seems to be pulling you into “reality” (in quotes for a reason) and you might be feeling with this full moon like you want to unplug and withdraw into your imagination (the true real world). In spite of things in the third dimension like errands, chores, time clocks, schedules, work and navigating around the details of life, you are drawn deeply inward. You may be sleepy, feel like you need rest (I would say you’ll really want to get your rest in the days leading up to and after this full moon) and you might have realizations that grab you about your life, your next steps and the choices that need to be made between here and there to make “there” “here.” This seems like a time where you’ll be creating in imagination first and then carrying out action to get you to your destination.
Scorpio
There is some very un-fun energy (Mercury, Sun, Saturn, Neptune) in the part of your chart that represents fun… which can translate to doing a type of creative work professionally or being in a new love situation that has some obstacles or running up against some challenges in parenting. This moon helps you to remember that you’re not an island, that you need communal reinforcement as much as you wish you didn’t.
Sagittarius
There is some type of fruition, release or culmination happening in the part of your chart that represents your career and your public perception in this full moon for you. You don’t necessarily think of Sagittarius risings as being masterful in their career ~ but when you consider the sign of Virgo occupies this space, it becomes a lot more clear why we are actually very detail oriented and are willing to work long hours and pay our dues. Maybe through the contrast of the full moon with Mercury, the Sun, Saturn and Neptune all in Pisces, you’re realizing that there is more to life through a perhaps harsh but strong emotional realization. Sag risings have been doing such deep emotional work since last year and there has been no shortage of discomfort in terms of emotions and family… perhaps this is where you realize that there is more to life than work.
Capricorn
This is all about freeing your head. The point of tension is in your mind, your inner conversations with yourself and people in your life, communication and speech, your environment and your surroundings. Capricorn risings may be feeling especially this week like perhaps they want to move or even just temporarily get out of their environment, or out of a certain mind frame, but this is where you realize that you can’t really run away from certain things and that indeed, wherever you go, there you are. You may be contemplating your philosophy on life and your belief system and asking yourself if perhaps it is limited and coming up with ways to fix it of course!
Aquarius
Your full moon might be particularly intense. You might be looking at some stuff that people generally consider difficult with regards to money or the affairs of another person or even sinking down to the level of your own inner tumult (that is actually quite organized like a filing cabinet with Virgo in the space that represents the difficult aspects of life, other people’s money, energy and resources). Your job may not even be to fix something but to recognize that it is broken (as you are going through one of the most profound changes with Pluto recently entering your sign). You might be going through a grief process and this would be a really good time to focus on your body, nature and reinforcing your profound more than enoughness. Trust yourself through this season of Saturn in Pisces (until 2025-2026).
Pisces
You’ve been under somewhat of a universal review period with Saturn in your sign where it seems like everything is wrapping back around. You are taking on more responsibility, sobriety and becoming the best version of yourself and don’t get it twisted, that is the furthest thing from easy. This full moon in Virgo pulls you out of that and into your relational life, with partners, friends, business connections and really shows you something so take note of what you see in your relationships and what is reflecting. Someone else gives you a much needed perspective shift.
Aries
This is the purest expression of this full moon. You’re going through the most ethereal, strange transits of anyone in the zodiac with Saturn, Neptune and Mercury in Pisces, encouraging you to rest, spend time in your inner world, delve deeply into imagination… but this full moon is pulling you back to earth in a hot minute with chores, errands, things to attend to… You might decide to walk away from a job or something that you’re doing on a daily basis like eating too much sugar or perhaps you’re recognizing during this lunation that something in your rhythm is off. This is the time to correct that!
Taurus
You have been perhaps dealing with some difficult situations involving groups, friendships, your orientation to humanity, so I find this full moon to be particularly liberating as it ushers you right back into your own lane and your own business. For you, Virgo happens to be in the house of your own joy, pleasure, children, new love… and there may be some type of release of something that you thought was going to bring you a sense of pleasure and fulfillment to create the way for something better. You may enjoy learning something new… Taurus risings more than a lot of people enjoy the pursuit of knowledge and its expression.
Gemini
This full moon is happening in the part of your chart that represents your home, family, emotional life… and for Gemini risings, there has been some universal pressure in terms of your work life somehow, whether it’s taking on new responsibilities, orienting yourself towards public life, revealing more of yourself, having to work really long, hard hours… this full moon calls you back to home and back to center to process some things that really need processing, to have conversations with family members that need to happen.
Cancer
Saturn in Pisces for you may have led you into a special type of spiritual refinement. You may have been disillusioned quite a bit in the last year and inversely you might have doubled down on getting serious about learning something new, pouring over your beliefs and questioning if what they’re pushing out in your life is beneficial for you, perhaps wanting to travel or immigrate to another country and going through that process… etc. This full moon brings you back to your current environment and portends that perhaps there’s a conversation that needs to happen, air that needs to be cleared or something to be logically and algorithmically thought through.
Leo
Leo risings have been secretly wading through some incredibly deep, complex and frankly challenging waters. You have been working through loss, grief, separating your emotions from those around you… and perhaps have also come through some big realizations and understandings about your psychological orientation, why you do the things that you do, how the webs of intimacy and connection in your life make you feel these days compared to perhaps past relationships, processing big stuff. This is a “coming back to reality” moment where you really come back to what is tangible, real, the money you have, the energy you personally have for life, what you are available and unavailable for. This full moon is incredibly… about you, what your values are, your self-concept.
