Overview

The February 26th Pisces eclipse will reverberate through this week’s aspects. All interpretations are connected to the eclipse, and may blend together as one, multi-layered event. 

February 27th sees Mercury conjoin the Pisces South Node. A message from the past will remind you of what you need to clarify or develop (Mercury rules the Virgo North Node). And there will also be reminders of stories that are false or poisonous. The March 1st conjunction of the Sun and Neptune in Pisces can illuminate a moment of compassion or transcendent release, as you cry, forgive or give it up. 

March 2nd brings us the second of three oppositions between Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries (the first opposition occurred on December 26th, 2016) This time, Jupiter is Rx. An opposition is a culmination – results may be quick, but they won’t be new. Jupiter Rx’s questions, backtracking and narrowed vision will trigger a sudden rebalancing, as Uranus upsets the status quo, once again. The outcome could be surprisingly positive, as you get a second crack at an opportunity that first came ‘round in December. Or, there could be a sudden ending. But the writing’s been on the wall for awhile, and Mercury/South Node will spell it out. 

March 4th marks Venus’ Rx station in Aries. The pace of events after Jupiter/Uranus will slow. Venus Rx asks you to review relationships, self-esteem and finances. In the context of Aries, this will be about new initiatives that put you first. Jupiter/Uranus and the eclipse revealed a new landscape, and now you’ll be checking in with yourself to see if you’re getting what you want. And, if you have the freedom to simply be happy. Aries is not a complicated sign: either you love/feel loved, or you don’t. Any delays, changes of heart or reconnections with the past are designed to increase your awareness of personal values and courage. If you’re not the number one priority, Venus Rx will intensify this until it becomes intolerable. 

Mercury conjoins Neptune on the same day, expanding your awareness. Venus Rx will narrow the field and emphasize a point of desire. Passionate, primal Aries demands immediate satisfaction, so Venus Rx and Mercury/Neptune could create some obsessive or inspired moments. You’ll see what more coud be possible, and you’ll really, really want ____. Or, you’ll see what you’re missing. 

Aries

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your hidden sector reveal additional layers. Quiet revelations about an ultimate goal can unfold. It may be time to nail down an issue you’ve been avoiding – develop a specific plan that helps you organize routines and daily habits. Or, maybe you need to get real about a health issue.

Jupiter Rx opposite Uranus in your sign can bring a culmination or about-face regarding public image, physical appearance or a relationship. Sudden reversals will involve a push for freedom and accelerated growth. Beginnings or endings are equally possible, and you may find it difficult to balance impulse with caution. 

This will be followed by Venus Rx in your sign, and Mercury/Neptune in your hidden sector. No matter which way Jupiter/Uranus pushed you, you’ll be slowing down almost immediately. Reviews of who you love/how you love, or what you value, will be featured. A new or existing relationship will require a closer look. There may be delays, as new information emerges. Self-esteem and the courage to be you may also be issues, as you realize this is about much more than what’s on the surface. 

Taurus

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your social sector can illuminate a social goal or path to success. It may be time to go public with your work, or claim your position in the spotlight. Too, this can be the shift that happens when you release the expectations of others, and focus on what’s best for you. A friendship or group association may be involved. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus will yank back the curtain on what you’ve been hiding. This could be a secret project that’s ready to go public, or a disruptive secret that can’t be contained. Health or daily routines can be impacted – a change may seem unplanned on the surface, but will be the result of an ongoing, background push for progress. 

Venus Rx can trigger second thoughts about the above changes. Or, the public reaction could trigger a deeper evaluation of what you have. Comparisons between public and private can start a review around an ultimate romantic or creative goal. Process what’s happening, and allow events to unfold in their own time. You don’t have all the information yet, and what you want now may change significantly over the next month. Mercury/Neptune suggests the expansion of public ideals or public connections. Too, plans may turn out to be less clear than you thought. 

Gemini

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your career sector suggest a significant conversation with management, a business launch, interview or public statement. You might release invalid expectations in your professional life, while you open your eyes to something better. Too, there could be a key realization about home life versus professional priorities. Watch for a shift in your attitude towards success. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest an unexpected reversal of fortune. A friendship, group association, or your public image could be impacted, as you put yourself/your work out there. Risk is enhanced, but so is reward. Absolute honesty is essential – who you really are will be on display. This will be the culmination of growth in the areas of new romance, creative work or children/pregnancy. If you’ve been overdoing it (drugs, alcohol, parties, gambling) the results could be disruptive.

Venus Rx suggest that after the Jupiter/Uranus rush, you’ll be backtracking on certain issues. A romantic attraction (friends to lovers, or vice versa) could be up for review. Your self-esteem and values (in a public context) will also be hi-lighted – are you getting support and recognition from others? For some, a public launch or professional event may feature delays, confusion or mixed messages. Mercury/Neptune can point to a key discussion with someone in authority, or a professional statement. However, it will be difficult to nail down concrete facts.

Cancer

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of opportunities see you sorting through your options. What’s possible and what’s too far out of reach will be on your radar. You’ll be considering next steps around travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing. It may be time to get something in writing. Or, you may have to start writing/clarifying your big ideas. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggests a sudden result regarding career and home life. An abrupt change in the direction of your career, a job loss/gain or relocation are possibilities. Intensified focus on one area of domestic growth will be the trigger for a complete overhaul of your future goals. 

Venus Rx puts things on pause after the above culmination. Your vision of what’s possible can expand, as you review professional developments. Watch for an appraisal of your image, work relationships or happiness on the job. Newly emerging values, or your increased demands to be valued, will be featured. For some, a significant business relationship could be the catalyst for a new work goal.  Mercury/Neptune can boost your expectations, but use caution where commitments or solid facts are necessary. At this point, ideas may be nothing more than wishful thinking. 

Leo

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of shared resources can unlock private matters between you and your partner. Shared finances or intimacy may be areas where a cleansing conversation happens. Vulnerabilities and fear of loss will come up. Too, you may sense that the time’s ripe to organize your finances (debts, taxes, loans) or get the facts about what you’re prepared to share, or what you expect to be shared with you. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can deliver a surprising answer or decision. An announcement may be quite different from what you expected, or may hit you faster and harder than anticipated. In some cases, this could be a triumphant conclusion, in the form of a graduation, publication, launch or legal result. You could make a dramatic, final statement based on faith and risk, but be careful that you don’t burn all your bridges. 

Venus Rx will see you pausing and deeply considering the fallout from Jupiter/Uranus. After the big declaration/discovery, there will be delays or a change of direction in the areas of travel, education, long distance romance, legal matters or publishing. When it slows down, your attention will be drawn once again to private/uncomfortable matters. Mercury/Neptune suggests that what’s going on behind the scenes is still being worked out. In some cases, you may need to release things on a deeper level before you can move ahead. Discussions may start with one topic, and quickly slide into a whole new level where nothing is considered taboo. 

Virgo

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your relationship sector can encourage open discussion between you and a partner. Topics can range from clarifying future goals/commitments, to agreeing that it’s time to let go. Either way, something will be released, whether it’s outdated mutual goals, or the relationship itself. For some, a new attraction with an intensely fated feeling can arrive. All Virgos (single or attached) will be working on clearing out old anxieties, worries and ties with undermining people. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can flip the switch on a financial issue. An opportunity to earn more, or earn in an entirely different way, can present itself. Too, excessive spending or lack of attention to financial details can deliver an uncomfortable wake-up call. Imbalances in relationships may be abruptly exposed, as you juggle your needs with your partner’s. While events may hit suddenly, they will be the results of how you’ve been handling your personal and financial resources over the past few months. 

Venus Rx gives you the space to take a breath. Money and relationships will claim even more of your attention, but now you’ll be looking closely at what you have versus what you really want. Or, what your partner is able to give you. There may be delays around finances, especially taxes or loans. If a relationship has recently become intimate, you will discover that there’s more to work out. Mercury/Neptune favours compassionate, non-judgemental discussions with a partner, although specific commitments will be difficult to clarify at this point. 

Libra

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of routine dissolve old habits while opening up to healthier scenarios. A health or work issue could be resolved, thanks to a key piece of information. These influences can help you see beyond stagnant or meaningless tasks and obligations – there’s something more for you that lies beyond going through the motions. 

Jupiter Rx in your sign, opposing Uranus in your partnership sector, can present a dramatic rebalancing. The exchange between you another has reached a turning point, and it’s time for you to reap the rewards. This can be your chance to shine, overhaul your public image, or show off your work. In some cases, these rewards will be unexpected – a loss or ending will benefit you, as you grow beyond people-pleasing, or denying what you really want. 

Venus Rx may slow the pace down a bit, giving you time to process recent changes. If a relationship has been on the fast track, there will be second thoughts. Or, one person may pull back. Too, a new attraction could intensify to the point where you have to struggle to maintain your sense of balance. You may be looking more closely at specific obligations or issues in your daily life – the give and take between you and another still needs some fine-tuning. Mercury/Neptune can deliver alternative solutions and peace of mind, but it may be difficult to focus on the essentials. Cut yourself some slack, and don’t expect perfection. 

Scorpio

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of self-expression suggest a key contact or conversation involving creative work, a new attraction or children/pregnancy. What you learn can help you manifest what you’ve been hoping for, in a very public way. Too, you could finally release an unrealistic fantasy when you see how it appears in the real world. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can bring radical results involving work tasks, a health issue or daily routines. Changes in the mundane details of your daily life have been brewing for awhile, and this influence will either push you into something brand new, or permanently disconnect you from what’s unhealthy. This could be part of a complete overhaul of your diet/exercise, or a new job opportunity. Too, something you didn’t know you wanted could make itself known. 

Venus Rx sees you pausing to evaluate the impact of the above changes. After the big overhaul, take some time to ease into your new routine and consider if what’s happening feels good. More adjustments may be needed, as you consider new ways to upgrade, correct and improve. Mercury/Neptune can see you more concerned with distractions (romantic or otherwise) than attending to obligations. Too, new possibilities could open your eyes to something better, making it tempting to give up on a new routine. Remember that Mercury/Neptune can create beautiful images, but it remains to be seen if they’re the real deal. 

Sagittarius

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your domestic sector continue an ongoing process of churning up the past and redefining your future. Family issues are hi-lighted, with conversations/insights that may go all the way back to childhood. This is a necessary part of releasing a family identity that’s no longer valid – you’re ready to be someone new. 

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest a public announcement or reveal, perhaps sooner than planned. Issues with friends, groups or your place in the collective can see a surprising shift, although this has been building for awhile. A business launch or public speech is also favoured.

Venus Rx suggests it’s revaluation time, in light of the above events. New romance, creative work, or issues involving children/pregnancy can reveal more about your self-worth, or what you really want. Delays or backtracking can be beneficial, as this will allow you to take stock of what works for you. No matter how others are involved, this influence is about you first – what you’re creating and why. Mercury/Neptune increases the flow of compassion and family connections, although some discussions may get bogged down in the past. 

Capricorn

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your communication sector can see you swimming in nostalgia. Conversations, ideas or people from your past could materialize, and the purpose will be to flush away anything that’s holding you back from future opportunities. There could be a final apology, or a clarification about why someone is in your rearview mirror to begin with. There could be an opportunity to make something official, or put a dream into context. It’s time to sort through the “what-ifs” and get serious about your next step.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus suggest a culmination around career, professional image or future goals. The increasing pressure to do more, or change your approach, will peak. The need for a radical shift will be impossible to avoid, and the push could come in the form of a career opportunity or ending. Either way, you’re being given the freedom to maximize your potential. 

Venus Rx sees you pondering the impact of the above changes, in light of home and family dynamics. Any changes that impact your future and professional life will be evaluated according to potential improvements in your home life. You want the best for you and your family, while also supporting your desire for independence. In other areas, a home business or decorating project could experience delays, as you reconsider your next step. Mercury/Neptune can present creative inspiration, or soften your words.

Aquarius

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sector of personal resources suggest a conversation or piece of information involving earned money, sources of income or personal values. There could be an opportunity to expand your earnings, make more from what you have (make your money work for you) or achieve a deeper understanding of what satisfies your basic needs. In the process, you’ll be saying goodbye to old values and habits that undermine your self-esteem.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can bring results involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. Your efforts to learn more, relocate or broaden your reach can pay off in a flash of achievement. Watch for a lucky break or surprising announcement. 

Venus Rx could indicate delays after the above results. You may have second thoughts involving the alignment of events with your values and happiness. Is this really what you want? Did you express yourself authentically? Initially there may be more questions than answers. Alternatively, Venus Rx can reconnect you with a past attraction. You’re not the same person, so don’t allow yourself to be dragged back into the same dynamics. Mercury/Neptune can tune you in to what feels good for you, even if the words say something different. On the other hand, Mercury/Neptune can temporarily blur your boundaries – don’t sacrifice your hard-won values and security. 

Pisces

Mercury/South Node and Sun/Neptune in your sign open a door from the past. Although the pull may be strong, know that you’re meant to let go of what’s no longer working, so you can correct, improve and zero in on your next, best step. Relationships, public identity, lifestyle or physical appearance are areas where you may feel these shifts. Watch for a key message/messenger.

Jupiter Rx/Uranus can deliver results involving debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy. There could be an abrupt rebalancing of resources or give and take – this will be connected to ongoing changes in your earned income or personal values. In some cases, you could gain more than you hoped for.

Venus Rx brings an immediate reevaluation after the above changes. Money, personal values or self-esteem will be under review, as you look carefully at your newly emerging situation. Are you standing up for yourself?  A new source of income may require a second look, or more negotiating. Mercury/Neptune in your sign can expand your idealism, your intuition or your delusions – think carefully before you say “yes.” Words mean less than what the voice inside of you is saying.

Overview

The Sun crosses the Pisces South Node on February 21st, setting the stage for the Pisces eclipse. A spotlight shines on the past, making it immediate.  

February 22nd brings a square between Mars in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Mars acts out Pluto’s deeper motivations, and the square creates tension. This is a forceful aspect, as instinct takes over and power is unbalanced. What’s acted out in the present will be based on the past.

February 25th sees Mercury’s Pisces ingress. Information and communication will be plugged into something universal. Logic will be replaced by intuition, and this ingress builds on the Sun/South Node conjunction. Mercury rules the Virgo North Node. You may end up piercing the illusions/secrets/dreams of the past, so you can find clarity for the future.

Watch for everything to fall into place on the February 26th New Moon Pisces eclipse. The eclipse, along with a Mars/Uranus conjunction (opposing Jupiter Rx) will fuse all the influences over the past few days in a bright flash. Endings and beginnings may be simultaneous, and Mars/Uranus/Jupiter adds urgency. A total reversal may spin you around and spit you out. After the dizziness subsides, welcome to your next chapter.

Events will happen quickly, and they will be the results of what’s been brewing for awhile (Mars/Pluto, Sun/South Node). The past and future could collide, but the future always takes precedence (especially with Uranus driving a New Moon). This eclipse will conjoin Neptune -the new possibilities could exceed your imagination, as long as you flush away the old stuff.

Aries

Mars in your sign squares Pluto in your career sector, triggering angry reactions to authority, power or oppression. Confrontations will be public, impactingyour professional image. Use caution when you push back. Too, your actions could be part of a significant transformation to your public identity, physical appearance or lifestyle.

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your hidden sector whispers that there’s something less obvious to look at.  A background issue, secret or gut feeling will gain prominence, and the eclipse will bring it out into the open. Combined with Mars/Uranus in your sign opposing Jupiter Rx, new beginnings will hit unexpectedly. What you ignored or missed will become glaringly obvious. This could be the moment when it all clicks and you see what you’re getting -maybe more than you ever hoped for. Or, something/someone could exit abruptly. Relationship changes are a possibility, with complete reversals and extreme reactions. 

Taurus

Mars/Pluto can stir up repressed anger or unconscious reactions. There’s something that can no longer be denied, and you may react before you’re fully aware of what you’re doing. Too, this could be your big push for progress or success. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your social sector alerts you to developments involving friends, group activities or you public image. A conversation or piece of news from the past could get the ball rolling, and the eclipse will push things over the edge. What’s private could go public, and public connections will be driven by background actions. A new friendship, group association or public launch can surprise you, and you may surprise everyone with your ambition or a push for freedom. An abrupt change in your routine or daily activities could be featured. 

Gemini

Mars/Pluto suggests public outbursts, power struggles or arguments with friends/groups. The core issue will be much deeper that what you see on the surface, and it could stir up some powerful feelings involving loss, rejection or control. Obviously, you want to tread carefully with others, unless you’re itching for an intense confrontation. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your career sector can revive discussions with management about your future, your authority or your professional image. The eclipse will build on that, with new job developments (or a new job). Too, there could be a flash of insight about what you really want to do. Public reactions can contribute to events, with a sudden departure, rupture or action that propels you onto a whole new path. For some, an unexpected burst of ambition could put you exactly where you’re meant to be. 

Cancer

Mars/Pluto indicates tense confrontations with those in authority, and/or a partner. Your push to succeed/advance may cause conflict with a partner. Or, you could feel pushed out of your comfort zone by someone with power. How will you respond? Your power and ambition will be in question. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of opportunities can open your eyes to areas of exploration, learning or expansion that are ripe for further development. The eclipse adds to the excitement with a flash of possibility. New developments around travel, education, legal matters or publishing can come out of nowhere, but at the same time, you’ll feel like this is the perfect opportunity for you. There may be an abrupt career change, or alteration of your future trajectory – perhaps you hadn’t planned on this at all. Sometimes a shock is what’s needed to push you in a direction you wouldn’t normally consider. For some, a business launch or job search could pay off in unexpected ways.  

Leo

Mars/Pluto can fire up your urge to explore, fight for a cause, or push for greater visibility. But it can also present challenges from outside sources, or push you into situations you’re not equipped to deal with. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing are areas of increased risk. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of shared resources can start an intimate conversation or uncomfortable observation. It may be time to accept that there’s something you can’t have, or something you need to confront. The eclipse take things a step further, with debts, taxes, loans, your partner’s finances or physical/emotional intimacy as areas of change. Forward movement, intensification, or deep realizations, will hit suddenly and leave you feeling out of control. Something hidden can be blown wide open. As uncomfortable as this will feel, know that you’re moving ahead, which is always the right direction. 

Virgo

Mars/Pluto ups the intensity, anger or drive for control. A new attraction could have a profound impact, or issues in an existing relationship could heat up and unearth buried conflict/passion. A power struggle on the most intimate level could result. Financial matters can be all or nothing, as you’re pushed to address a debt, shortfall, or opportunity to invest. You may be tempted to push a situation (emotional or financial) to its limit – use caution, because there’s a risk of loss. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your partnership sector opens the lines of communication about an ongoing issue, or gets you thinking about how you relate (or give away your power). The eclipse will accelerate things, introducing you to a new, potential partner, closing the door on a past relationship, or pushing an existing relationship into the next stage. Events will happen quickly, and someone else may initiate the action. Whether you’re meeting someone new, or a partnership is progressing/ending, know that the flow of events is happening naturally. You can’t fix or direct things. In some cases, an unexpected challenge or competition will hit, triggering your sharpest, savviest strategies. Move away from what/who makes you feel drained, anxious, or less-than. 

Libra

Mars/Pluto can trigger power struggles, competition or confrontations with another person. You may be pushed, and will have to decide if you’re going to push back. Tension or arguments in a romantic relationship may be rooted in family history, or ongoing domestic transformations. 

Sun/south Node and Mercury into your sector of routine gets you looking at the nuts and bolts of work, daily tasks or heath. Reasons to get organized will be expanded on during the eclipse. You may have to let go of something, or leave a situation, to improve your health. Someone else may be the catalyst who triggers an overhaul of your routine. Either way, changes in your immediate environment are meant to take your habits or approach to service a step beyond where you are now. This could be the difference between going through the motions versus an upgrade. Mars/Uranus opposing Jupiter Rx in your sign suggests complete reversal in a relationship, or your reaction to someone.  

Scorpio

Mars/Pluto can present challenges in your work environment, daily routine, health or diet. Your daily actions may be under fire, as you are pushed to do more, transform yourself, or serve someone else. You may have to decide if you current course of action is doable, or if it’s time to take back your power and strengthen yourself. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of self-expression can bring creative inspiration, flirtatious contacts or good news. Your confidence to go public can be boosted, or you could reap the rewards of your creative efforts. The eclipse will hi-light this. A new romance, creative launch, performance or celebration are possibilities, but there is also some risk associated. You may feel like throwing yourself completely into a new situation. There’s certainly potential for success, but use some caution where your health and physical activity is involved. Remember your limits. 

Sagittarius

Mars/Pluto can see you pushing for more attention, attraction, indulgence or success. You could be motivated to pursue someone, or risk it all (financially or emotionally) on an instinctive desire. There’s potential to get what you want, but you can also go too far. Jealousy could be at the root of your competitive urges. Dial it back a couple of notches and you should be ok. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your domestic sector hi-light family discussions, documents or information from the past. The eclipse builds on this, with an ending and new beginning. There may be a final discussion to wrap up, or paperwork to sign. Relocation, a home business, or issues dating back to childhood will be concluded, allowing you to start fresh. However, the pace of events could move more quickly than anticipated. A break with the past could be more of a *snap* and your actions will be powered by your drive for self-expression. This eclipse could signal a chapter that’s all about you, and what you need to be truly happy.

Capricorn

Mars in your domestic sector squares Pluto in your sign, suggesting surface domestic changes (or family arguments) will be connected to deeper issues within you. A desire for power or transformation can trigger physical changes or forceful actions. Power dynamics around the home may also be an issue. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your communication sector increases the flow of information, emails, phone calls or meetings. An idea or discussion that’s been in development may be ready to manifest. The eclipse suggests a specific conversation, contact or decision can hitunexpectedly, but you’ll know there’s no going back. Domestic documents involving a sale, relocation, or home business may be featured. Family discussions can be abrupt and uncompromising. Too, your decision about a domestic situation could accelerate the pace, due to a now-or-never feeling. 

Aquarius

Mars/Pluto can trigger verbal confrontations, a verbal smackdown, or abrupt declaration. You’ll be feeling feisty, and your words will reflect this. But words/ideas will be based on hidden issues that you’re not fully conscious of. Pay attention to what pushes your buttons, because the root cause will go beyond what you see you on the surface. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sector of personal resources gets you thinking about what you really need, financially and emotionally. The eclipse intensifies this, with surprising discussions about salary, an unexpected new source of income, or flash of clarity about what you value. You could surprise yourself with a decision to move on, relocate or demand more. 

Pisces

Mars/Pluto prepares the groundwork for the upcoming eclipse with public efforts, or unusually potent actions. You may be challenged, or you could be the one doing the challenging. Either way, you’ll be ready to fight for what you need, because it will feel like your survival is at stake. Money, self-esteem and personal values are areas where you may feel pushed, pressured or threatened. Too, these could be areas where you experience a surge of ambition. 

Sun/South Node and Mercury into your sign are the harbingers of the eclipse. Watch for a messenger, in the guise of specific person, idea or piece of information. This could be based in the past, or have a familiar vibe, even if the situation is brand new. The eclipse (and Neptune in your sign) can be your ultimate accelerant. What was on brew with Mars/Pluto will erupt, and the clarity, fresh purpose or surge of initiative can open up a whole new world. There’s opportunity and disruption – your security may be rocked, and finances could change dramatically. At the same time, your eyes could be opened to a new source of security, or a new way to feel better about yourself.
