Weekly Astrology Overview: Planting Seeds with Care
This week invites us into deep contemplation and deliberate action. Throughout the week the Moon moves through Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, and into Aries, shifting our emotional landscape from discipline to vision, intuition, and finally to bold initiative. However, the New Moon and the movement of the other planets ask us to proceed with mindfulness and clarity of vision.
Tuesday’s Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Pisces calls for clear thinking amid deep uncertainty. Wednesday’s waning Moon brings us into a quiet time within the introspective phase of the lunar cycle. Thursday’s New Moon at 9° Pisces, where both Mercury and Venus will soon station retrograde, is a powerful beginning—but one that requires careful intention. The seeds we plant now (in the house that holds Pisces in your natal chart) will unfold in unpredictable ways over the coming weeks.
On Saturday, Venus stations retrograde at 10° Pisces, initiating a journey of reassessing love, values, and relationships (this retrograde lasts until April 12). Consider what truly holds meaning for you (particularly in the house that holds Pisces in your natal chart) and where you must release illusions, fantasies, and confusion. As Mercury meets Neptune on Sunday, clarity may be elusive, while the Sun’s square to Jupiter warns against overconfidence. Listen more than you speak, and trust that wisdom will emerge in the fullness of time.
This is a week to move gently, reflect deeply, and set intentions with awareness. The ripples of our choices will extend far beyond what we can see today.

Resisting Fear: Working with Saturn for Clarity and Resilience
STEADY AND SURE – Monday, February 24, 2025
The Moon in Capricorn offers a quiet and firm reminder that lasting progress is built over time. This is a day to take measured steps rather than seek fast movement or instant gratification. If you feel pressured to rush or prove yourself, pause and ground yourself in the wisdom of slow and steady effort. Capricorn energy thrives on responsibility, so consider what obligations need your attention. Tend to your commitments, whether professional, personal, or emotional. This will bring a sense of stability and accomplishment.
With emotions subdued under this practical Moon, you may find it easier to separate feelings from facts. Use this clarity to assess what truly matters and make decisions that serve your long-term well-being. If something feels overwhelming, break it down into manageable steps. Trust that discipline, rather than intensity, will carry you through.

ENGAGE WITH COMPLEXITY – Tuesday, February 25, 2025
With the Moon now in Aquarius, our emotions are drawn toward objectivity and the bigger picture. This is a time for thinking beyond personal concerns and considering how our actions ripple into the collective. Aquarius encourages innovation, objectivity, and open-mindedness, making it easier to see things from a fresh perspective. This Moon invites you to step back and look at your situation with curiosity rather than attachment. Social connections and intellectual exchanges may feel especially stimulating as you seek to engage in meaningful dialogue with others.
At 7:02 am EST Mercury forms a conjunction with Saturn in Pisces asking us to ground our thoughts in reality while navigating the uncertainty that we are currently enmeshed in. This is not a day for rushing into decisions. Mercury with Saturn asks for precision, patience, and a willingness to engage with complexity. Conversations may carry a serious or weighty tone, and it’s important to communicate with clarity and compassion. If you find yourself doubting your voice or struggling with confusion, trust that wisdom unfolds over time. Commit to thoughtful reflection, and allow space for understanding to deepen rather than seeking immediate certainty. Immediate certainty is simply not available for the time being.
- How can I balance structure and imagination in my thinking?
- Am I communicating my thoughts with honesty and responsibility?
- What long-term vision am I willing to commit to, even in uncertainty?
CLEARING SPACE FOR THE NEW – Wednesday, February 26, 2025
With the Moon in Aquarius, our emotions are objective and cool as we seek fresh perspectives and innovative solutions. Yet, as the Moon approaches the end of its cycle, this is not a time to push forward but to pause and reflect. The darkest phase of the Moon is a threshold, an invitation to let go before we step into the unknown. Answers may feel just out of reach, but forcing or demanding clarity rarely works. Instead, trust that stillness holds its own kind of wisdom.
The visionary nature of the Aquarius Moon often urges us to look ahead, but today calls for a different kind of vision as it asks us to look inward. There is power in surrendering what no longer serves us. If we can sit with uncertainty without rushing to fill the void, we make space for something new to take root.
- What outdated beliefs or thought patterns am I being asked to release?
- How can I embrace the unknown without demanding immediate answers?
- Where in my life do I need to trust the process instead of forcing a solution?
THE SPARK AND THE STILLNESS – Thursday, February 27, 2025
The day begins with an electric charge as Mercury forms a sextile to Uranus at 4:37 am EST. This is the mind breaking free, a sudden realization that shifts perspective, an unexpected message that changes everything. If you wake from a vivid dream, take note, it may bring important information you hadn’t considered. If an idea arrives seemingly out of nowhere, trust that it has roots in something deeper. The conversations we have today may open doors we didn’t even know existed, and moments of synchronicity could confirm what our intuition has been whispering all along. Let your thoughts enter into uncharted territory. Innovation is possible when we loosen our grip on certainty.
At 7:45 pm EST, the lunar cycle resets with the New Moon at 9° Pisces. This is a moon of surrender, of soft beginnings that may not reveal their full significance right away. It calls for faith in the unseen, for planting intentions that are not rigid but fluid, adaptable to the shifting tides we are currently immersed in. Mercury and Venus each begin their upcoming retrograde within a degree of this New Moon, meaning that what we set into motion now will evolve in ways we can’t yet predict. Find where 9° Pisces falls in your natal chart, this is the area of life where a new story is begining. Set an intention that allows for change. Let your heart guide the way, knowing that the path ahead may bring unexpected changes. Trust that space created now will make room for insight to emerge when the time is right. Today, silence is not emptiness; it is preparation.
- What insight or message arrived unexpectedly today, and how might it shape my path forward?
- What beliefs or attachments am I ready to release to make space for the new?
- How can I trust the unfolding process, even when the outcome is unclear?
DRIFTING BETWEEN WORLDS – Friday, February 28, 2025
With the Moon still in Pisces, the boundary between reality and imagination feels thin. Your feelings are deep as you seek a place of compassion and quiet surrender. Logic may not hold the answers—look for intuition and emotion to lead the way instead. Let yourself dream, but stay mindful of what is real and what is illusion. If you feel untethered, anchor yourself through art, music, meditation, or time in nature. Not everything needs to be understood today. Some things are meant to be felt.
As the Moon moves through the later degrees of Pisces, there is a dissolving quality to the energy, making it easier to release old emotional patterns or expectations. If something is slipping away, allow it to go with grace. The wisdom of Pisces reminds us that endings are often just the beginning of something new.
- How can I honor my emotions without becoming lost in them?
- What creative or spiritual practice helps me feel most connected?
- Where in my life do I need to let go and trust the current?
A SHIFT IN DIRECTION – Saturday, March 1, 2025
As the Moon moves into Aries at 4:51 am EST, the atmosphere crackles with energy. This awakens a need for action, courage, and independence. After the gentleness of Pisces, Aries calls us forward with a fiery determination to take charge of our lives. But while the urge to move is strong, the cosmic timing demands patience. The Moon in Aries thrives on immediacy, yet today’s deeper influence reminds us that sometimes we simply must wait.
At 7:36 pm EST, Venus stations retrograde at 10° Pisces, beginning a slow and profound journey inward that will last until April 12. What seems urgent under the Aries Moon may require careful reflection. This is not the time for impulsive decisions in love, money, or personal values. Instead, Venus asks us to pause and look honestly at our deepest values and desires.
During this retrograde, unresolved emotions, old relationship dynamics, and deeper questions of self-worth may resurface. What do you truly value? Where have you been settling for illusion instead of reality? The answers won’t come all at once, but they will reveal themselves over the coming weeks. Rather than seeking external validation, turn inward. Let this period refine your understanding of what (and who) genuinely matters.
The house in your natal chart that holds Pisces marks the area of life where a deep reevaluation is underway. You are being asked to reassess your desires, relationships, and sense of worth with patience and honesty.
- What recurring themes in love, self-worth, or finances need deeper reflection?
- Am I clinging to an illusion about a person or situation?
- Where in my life do I need to redefine what true value means to me?
