    ༻☽ ཐིཋྀ ☾༺

    calculated using tropical, whole sign, true nodes + lilith, eastern standard time.

    ༻☽ ཐིཋྀ ☾༺

    on the 16th, use the energy within the air to dream and make moves towards ideal futures… but beware of frustrations arising.

    from the 17th to the 18th embrace boldness and standing your ground. conquer the darkness that may be in the auric field. tap into your powers. create.

    on the 19th, chiron takes its first dip into the sign of taurus! this progression is not permanent as it will retrograde back into the sign of aries in september, and then permanently enter the sign of taurus in april. when a sign dances between two signs before permanently settling in the next one, i like to refer to it as the “cosmic dance”. the cosmic dance is a time where we will feel the beginning of the energies of one sign, and the endings of another sign… in this case, with aries and taurus, you feel the loud, brash, new beginnings of aries and the more tame, stabilizing, yet inflexible energies of taurus. i talk more about this transit here if you wish to find out how this transit will impact your chart personally.

    on the 20th, there are mercurial knots within the energies… look out for confusion, unexpected surprises, and mishaps in communications. this is a good day to jot down ideas, explore new ways of communication, and try new things.

    on the 21st, the sun goes into cancer, bringing forth the summer solstice! happy birthday to the cancers! don’t forget that you have the powers to bring your dreams into reality and heal.

    on the 22nd-23rd we only have aspects being made by the moon exemplified by the fact that the 22nd is on a mo(o)nday. don’t be too diplomatic… when things must be expressed, they must be expressed. moon magic.

    the 24-25th may feel slightly annoying, but the key is to remain in touch with your passions and abilities. remain higher-minded.

    on the 26 and 27th, expect the spread of information and enlightenment. don’t be ignorant.

    on the 28th mars enters the sign of gemini (ruled by the planet mercury), and things proceed to mercurially speed up with a fierce wind now in the air on the dawn of mercury retrograde in cancer on the 29th. be careful of mishaps and don’t give in to rushed energies. let yourself feel the fantasy in the air, but don’t forget to touch the ground. pour into things that excite the psyche. allow yourself to take the time to reflect on things so you can move forward.

    also on the 29th is the full moon in capricorn… here we have the unlockings of spiritual karma, the reconciliations of what is needed versus what is desired, and the light considerations of how we mix into outer worlds… do not forget that authority is ultimately yours, even within moments of scarcity and limitation. there is a heavily convoluted sensitivity in the air and a desire to communicate complexities that have been lying within… heavy and immersive social media posts, long text messages, emails to god, quick notes in notebooks… new life defining statements will be made here in the post-full moon world….

    six hours after the full moon in capricorn on the 30th jupiter enters the sign of leo. anyone born between august 18, 1990 – september 12, 1991, and august 1, 2002 – august 27, 2003 (and anyone else who is older who knows they have jupiter in leo… hopefully there are no 2014-2015 babies reading this lol but that was the last jupiter in leo transit) will be having their jupiter return here! (wooooooooo). jupiter returns can be seen as puberty part 2 or 3 (you have one every 12-ish years or so, with the first one being around the age of 12). they’re a point of personal reflection, exploration, and maturity when we sit back and look at all we have been and all we desire. some vedic astrologers will wait for the jupiter return of when they first started learning astrology to start practising as an astrologer, due to jupiter’s symbolization of spirituality, education, and maturatation. it is the planet that symbolises growth! here with jupiter in leo there is a desire to be a creator, to educate oneself deeply in traditional arts, to feel like a star… or maybe you are the type who desires to not fly too close to the sun, who desires to be immersed in the light of the sun without becoming the star itself… regardless for those going through their jupiter return during jupiter in leo (and everyone else) this is a time to play around… feel yourself out… learn and teach new things… be the teacher and the student… let yourself be new things… let yourself be old things… let the journey journey… reflect on all that you’ve been and wish to be… bring back your emo phase… start a new emo phase… maybe not even a emo phase you could start any phase you want. become a disco diva or something… just be authentic and pour into liberation while tapping into your wisest and highest self.

  • The Astrology of the Second Half of February

    Pisces by Alexander Jamieson (1822)

    On the 16th, the world comes alive and is busy; be strong in your psyche. Get things done.

    It is officially eclipse season! On the 17th, there will be a New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius. Unexpected, random events may bring you on a particular journey; choose what needs to be done for your highest good. Choose what will bring you an aura of reinvigoration, a lifting of spirits, and a benevolent refocusing of the psyche. Avoid being wired. As the night falls (in North America), Venus will exactly conjunct the North Node; let yourself find what makes you feel authentically passionate.

    Happy birthday to all of the Pisces folk! The Sun will enter Pisces on the 18th. Don’t forget to manifest, bless, and pour into what you want to see more of in the world.

    From the 19th to the 21st, find the fire to move through what is inherent yet hidden. Don’t get led astray. On the 20th, Saturn will finally exactly conjunct Neptune at 00°45 of Aries, closely resembling (and making a trine to) the Saturn-Neptune conjunction of 1917, which occurred at 04°45 of Leo (an exact 4-degree trine). There were also two more Saturn-Neptune conjunction events between 1917 and 2026. The first one occurred from 1952 to 1953, and the second one was in 1989, which was the previous one. Both of these events included a retrograde that led to the conjunction happening three times. The upcoming retrograde and the retrograde of 1917 are both one-time conjunctions. This is a time where we may see movements relating to the founding of new global political times, rebirths of legendary entertainment, deception, hidden movements, sharp spiritual awakenings (conjure gentleness and grounding… find the root), the revealing of what was previously hidden, mass evolutions, and scientific advancements (particularly in the field of medicine).

    Use the 22-23 to invoke healing and find the joys and beauties in daily life. Be flexible. Love from the heart. On the 24th, engage in sleep magic (charging a crystal underneath the pillow with an affirmation, a meditative practice before bed, incorporating a luxurious nighttime routine, or other spellwork meant to support spiritual growth, mental enlightenment, and protection from evil). On the 25th, avoid dramatic situations.

    On the 26th, Mercury will go retrograde until March 20th. Take this time to deeply meditate and engage in shadow work. Be gentle as you navigate through the water. This is a heavy Mercurial energy, so I personally would try to avoid starting new things right now (I’m also saying this because it is eclipse season). Just keep in mind that during such energetic times, the universe may open paths for you, and you may have no choice but to act. If that happens, it is okay! Be wise and consider if it benefits you for your greater good.

    On the 27th, be passionate about something you really care about that others might not know that much about, and educate the masses in a nurturing way. The 28th is a powerful day for magic relating to radiance and building energetic armor.
