00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,480
your host Alice Bell. In today's Monday, February seventeenth. We

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,080
have a lot of transitional type energy this week as

4
00:00:15,359 --> 00:00:19,719
certain planets move signs, a new zodiac season begins. Pisc

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,719
season will be starting tomorrow, Tuesday the eighteenth. I am

6
00:00:24,719 --> 00:00:29,039
a little sad to see Aquarius season go because it's

7
00:00:29,079 --> 00:00:31,760
my son's sign. And also, I don't know, I like

8
00:00:31,879 --> 00:00:35,719
the air sign seasons because they're very social. I'm seeing

9
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:38,880
more people. It's a time to be out and about

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,200
and connected. But I guess it will be nice now

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,240
that Pisce season is starting to have time to do

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280
more rest and reflection and really get in tune with

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,240
what do I want next for myself. So maybe you're

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,479
feeling that same way too, and it's kind of time

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,439
to slow down and really get clear on what is

16
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:03,200
my intuition telling me about what I want moving forward.

17
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,640
I will be sending out the Pisce season in depth

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,319
monthly horoscopes on Substack tomorrow I think tomorrow afternoon. So

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,680
if you are a paid subscriber on substack, that is

20
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:18,840
your mini reading for the month ahead where I go

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,239
over all of the major transits happening during Pisce season

22
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:25,319
and what they mean for each rising sign with about

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,719
two thousand words written per rising, and this month we're

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,319
covering everything from the new moon in Pisces to Mercury

25
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:39,200
and Venus retrogrades starting, Mars retrograde ending, and a lunar

26
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:42,480
eclipse in Virgo. So all of that what it means

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,159
for your rising that can be found on my substack

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,879
channel Astrology with Alice, and another huge transit taking place

29
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:52,280
this week. One I am super excited about is that

30
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Mars retrograde is ending, not until Sunday the twenty third,

31
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,319
but these are the final six days of Mars retrograde

32
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,640
and I'll get more into this when we get to

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,280
that date in the episode. But something I am noticing

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,919
the closer it gets to Mars stationing direct is that

35
00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:17,520
the themes of Mars are becoming intensified. And Mars stands

36
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:24,520
for anger, frustration, sometimes aggression, or really focusing on what

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:30,680
motivates you, what you're driven to accomplish. So with Mars

38
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,360
moving into this degree seventeen degrees of cancer and staying

39
00:02:35,439 --> 00:02:38,759
there for I think it's like almost three to four

40
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,280
weeks it's really like intensifying those Mars like themes. So

41
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,199
if you are feeling very like quick to get emotionally

42
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,560
worked up or quick to get frustrated in the next

43
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,919
few days, know that that's Mars preparing to go from

44
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,719
retrograde to direct on Sunday. So yeah, those are huge

45
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,599
transits for this week, Sun moving into piscey and Mars

46
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:04,479
retrograde ending. We'll also go over a lot of other

47
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,120
transits throughout the next few days. So let's get into

48
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,439
the week ahead now. Starting the week off on Monday,

49
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,759
February seventeenth, we still have the moon in Libra for

50
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,639
the majority of Monday. This is a carryover from the

51
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:21,759
weekend when the moon was in Libra on Saturday and Sunday.

52
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,479
This is really nice. This is a nice way to

53
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,039
start the week because the moon in Libra will be

54
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:31,000
trying the Sun and Aquarius, so you're getting more of

55
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:34,159
a relaxing start to your week. A relaxing Monday. Maybe

56
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,120
you're connecting one on one with people, or you could

57
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:42,120
be having productive calls, meetings, or social interactions with people

58
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,840
because both the Sun and moon are in air signs.

59
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:48,520
And also because of this, maybe Monday could be a

60
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,960
good day for sitting down and writing out your ideas

61
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,280
or brainstorming some type of project. Because we are in

62
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:59,840
the waning moon phase this week, it's not a great

63
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,240
time time to get started on those new projects quite yet,

64
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,120
but rather use Monday to just collect your thoughts and

65
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,319
reflect on what you want to pursue moving forward and

66
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,159
generating those ideas but not actually acting on them until

67
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,399
we get to the new moon and Pisces on the

68
00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:22,079
twenty seventh of February. So if you're a writer, content creator,

69
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,639
or you need to do a presentation or take charge

70
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:29,680
of a meeting at work, that's a great way to

71
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,800
use your Monday, like figuring out a way to translate

72
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,199
your thoughts in a way that other people can easily understand.

73
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,199
The moon will then move into Scorpio a little after

74
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,040
seven pm Eastern, so headed into Monday evening Monday night,

75
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,759
you could want greater privacy and rest. Maybe you could

76
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,040
be more to yourself. You're reflecting on emotions coming up,

77
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,439
and maybe these feelings that are surfacing do feel a

78
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,920
bit stronger than usual, and you may be reflecting on

79
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,360
like what do you keep or repressed, especially because the

80
00:05:02,399 --> 00:05:05,759
moon will be in Scorpio, but also it'll be squaring

81
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,519
Pluto in Aquarius. So it's a lot about digging up

82
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,720
whatever you don't usually look at, or maybe emotions you

83
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,519
normally would avoid and maybe getting kind of like fixated

84
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,240
on that or having very strong reactions. And it could

85
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,199
also be that maybe you're just wanting to focus more

86
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,079
on yourself after having kind of chaos of the full

87
00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,480
moon and Leo last week and then maybe a more

88
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,879
social this past weekend. Now it's like, Okay, I want

89
00:05:33,879 --> 00:05:38,079
to regroup, I want to reflect on my feelings, what

90
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,279
I want for myself, and I just want to be

91
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,639
left alone. And you might be thinking about like what

92
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,279
do you need to feel secure, or how might you

93
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,879
understand your emotions or your patterns or certain behaviors better,

94
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:55,759
and how might you either transform certain parts of yourself

95
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,079
you weren't really pleased with or certain reactions. Are there

96
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,680
ways you can improve upon those when you deal with

97
00:06:01,879 --> 00:06:05,839
communicating with people moving forward, or how you address certain situations.

98
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,600
So it's a very introspective vibe at the end of Monday,

99
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,480
and this will also carry into Tuesday and Wednesday as well.

100
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,120
Like most of this work week is moon and Scorpio.

101
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Let's now move on to Tuesday, February eighteenth. This is

102
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:25,600
the data Pisce season starts. The sun will be moving

103
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:29,399
through this mutable water sign until March twentieth this year,

104
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,240
so therefore a new area of your life, the houseworld

105
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,959
by Pisces, that's getting activated over the next month. So

106
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:42,319
for water sign risings, the part of your chart the

107
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,480
sun will be moving through is a lot about yourself

108
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:51,079
and uncovering new parts of your identity, leaning into personal creativity,

109
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:57,079
new interests, learning new information. For air sign risings, this

110
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,600
month ahead is about to be a lot about work,

111
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,639
figuring out how to make more money, establishing better daily

112
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,000
habits for yourself. For Fire sign risings, pisc season is

113
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,879
always about doing like internal work and healing certain aspects

114
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:22,079
of yourself, coping with heavier emotions coming up, prioritizing family relationships.

115
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:24,759
And then for Earth sign risings, the next month is

116
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,600
a lot about being a bit more social. So it's

117
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:29,920
kind of counterintuitive to what I was just saying about

118
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,680
pisc season and how that's more of an introspective sign.

119
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,439
So maybe it's just that you're bringing this compassionate and

120
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,279
wanting to go deeper emotionally into relationships and partnerships of

121
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:45,639
all types, whether that's romantic or platonic, and then Pisce

122
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,319
season themes in general to keep in mind over the

123
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,360
next four weeks for everyone would be having a greater

124
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,439
emphasis on spirituality and wanting to connect to something bigger

125
00:07:56,439 --> 00:08:01,399
than yourself, so doing things like astrology or I don't know,

126
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,839
wanting to practice like manifestation, or looking at a certain

127
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:09,600
religion that resonates with you, or connecting with your higher

128
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:15,120
self through journaling or meditation. There's just a desire to

129
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:18,959
have deeper meaning in your life and feel like you're

130
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:23,160
connected to something bigger, like rising above the everyday drama,

131
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,519
the everyday details, to be like, Okay, this is my

132
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,639
bigger purpose and this work gives me deeper meaning, or

133
00:08:29,839 --> 00:08:33,679
these relationships, I value these the most. You may also

134
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,200
need to be more giving and compassionate to other people,

135
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:39,919
but at the same time you have to be respectful

136
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:45,440
of your boundaries. I would say Pisce's downfall is trying

137
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,600
to fix or save people, and that honestly never works out.

138
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320
So it's important to be like, wait, how can I

139
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,000
be there and offer advice and be supportive to others,

140
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,399
but also maintaining my own boundaries and working on how

141
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,159
can I give that same compassionate in giving nature back

142
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,799
to myself so that I have energy. Because during PIZ season,

143
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,559
you're naturally more sensitive. And if you know of any

144
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,600
pizes people in your life, like they just are very

145
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,679
quick to pick up on how other people are feeling

146
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,759
the energy of the atmosphere around them. So if PiZZ

147
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:33,440
is an in effect, now everyone's getting those abilities. And

148
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,960
I can definitely feel overwhelming and draining when you feel

149
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,519
like you're picking up on every little thing around yourself.

150
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,440
So that's why having that spiritual practice, the journaling, the meditation,

151
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,919
the going for walks outside is so important to stay

152
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,480
grounded in your own energy. Pieces is also a very

153
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,879
creative sign, and it's a lot about fantasy and escapism

154
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,240
and using art to find this state of flow, or

155
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:07,320
maybe escaping the drama of your everyday life by watching

156
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:11,600
movies or watching TV really love, or losing yourself in

157
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,399
a fiction book. I always find that at this time

158
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,679
of the year, I'm very drawn to old movies. I

159
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,559
just watched The Thomas Crown Affair, and then last year

160
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,519
around this time I watched Rosemary's Baby, and like, I

161
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,279
always get drawn to movies from the sixties and seventies

162
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,080
because it feels like I'm being transported, transported to another

163
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,200
moment in time, and I get a lot of inspiration

164
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,960
from looking at what people are wearing in those movies,

165
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,039
like the style of back then, and like, how can

166
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,320
I incorporate that into my own personal style now. So

167
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,000
that's kind of what I mean about, like finding creative

168
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,639
inspiration through various art forms and maybe channeling these sensitivities

169
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,320
or these emotions that are coming up into some type

170
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,279
of creative hobby. Also, just to return to the element

171
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,639
of piscy season being a more sensitive time where you're

172
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,720
picking up on energy around you, the emotions of other people.

173
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,559
This is a great period to work on strengthening your intuition.

174
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,120
And I find that when you start actively taking note

175
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,159
of when your intuition is right about something, it builds

176
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,759
that trust in it, and you start to notice these

177
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:23,559
types of synchronicities or ways in which your intuition is

178
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,759
right more often. So maybe you want to keep like

179
00:11:25,799 --> 00:11:29,159
a journal of Okay, this morning, I woke up and

180
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,559
I felt a certain way about this situation in my life.

181
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,759
And then I ended up being right about that, So

182
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:39,600
kind of that practice of journaling or meditation can help

183
00:11:39,639 --> 00:11:43,600
in that way to strengthen the trust muscle in what

184
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,720
your own feelings are telling you, rather than looking to

185
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,679
other people so much to tell you what's the right

186
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,120
answer or what direction you need to go in next.

187
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,679
It's also interesting that within only a span of a

188
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,879
couple of days, we've shifted away from having very air

189
00:11:59,039 --> 00:12:03,519
sign heavy emphasis with the Sun and Mercury being an

190
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:09,120
Aquarius connecting with Jupiter and Gemini and then also Venus

191
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,799
and areas that fire and air sign to almost completely

192
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,519
being water sign energy this week, with the Sun and

193
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,039
Mercury now on Pisces Moons and Scorpio for the next

194
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,759
few days, and Mars is still in Cancer. So this

195
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,080
week specifically, there is more of a nurturing and reflective vibe,

196
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:31,519
and it's a lot about looking within, understanding yourself, your emotions,

197
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,759
and how can you express your feelings to others and

198
00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:39,759
foster these closer connections with people. But then on the

199
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,080
other hand, it's also okay to need to be alone

200
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,559
and need more space to be quiet this week and

201
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:49,200
maybe also for the next month. On Tuesday, the Moon

202
00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:53,320
still is in Scorpio, but this day it is training

203
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,399
Mercury and also training Mars and Saturn. So I don't

204
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,679
see Tuesdays a very like emotionally re active or explosive

205
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,120
type of day or anything like that, but looking at

206
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,480
Tuesday as a day where you're just tapping more into

207
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,080
that sensitive side of yourself and maybe feeling like you

208
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:14,559
want to be more low key, more introverted, and that's okay,

209
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:17,480
so try to allow your space, yourself the space to

210
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:21,360
do that. Okay, Let's move on to Wednesday, February nineteenth.

211
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:26,519
Very similar configurations carry into Wednesday too, with the Moon

212
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,440
and Scorpio again training both Mars in Cancer and also

213
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,480
training Saturn in Pisces. So I see the start of

214
00:13:36,519 --> 00:13:40,200
Wednesday as a day for being quietly productive, like minding

215
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,279
your own business but slowly working away at whatever needs

216
00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,159
to be done. And it's also really nice how the

217
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Moon is in this Mars ruled sign of Scorpio, and

218
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,559
then Mars is in the Moon ruled sign of cancer,

219
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,559
so there's a nice mutual reception going on here between

220
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000
the Moon and Mars. And even though both of these

221
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,120
planets are not in signs, they typically do well in

222
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,480
there is support being given to each other to fulfill

223
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:10,159
the duties of their transits. So maybe you want to

224
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,440
look at the Scorpio and the cancer world houses of

225
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,879
your chart, and how are the topics of these two

226
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,080
houses influencing each other this week, and how are they

227
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,240
helping each other out, and maybe how are the topics

228
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:27,879
of these two houses coming together nicely. So, for example,

229
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,960
if you're a cancer rising chart, the moon and scorpio

230
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,480
that's activating your fifth house this week while training Mars

231
00:14:35,559 --> 00:14:39,759
in your first house. So maybe you're gaining more confidence

232
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:45,480
through exploring creative hobbies or really focusing on interests purely

233
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:48,320
for your own enjoyment, not really to please anyone else,

234
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:53,159
and allowing yourself to express your full personality in your

235
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,840
work or passion projects, things like that. Once we get

236
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,480
later in the day, closer to Wednesday evening Eastern time,

237
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,320
so for time zones ahead of America, you'll probably you'll

238
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,480
probably be asleep, or this might be early your Thursday morning.

239
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,000
The moon will move into an opposition with Uranus and Taurus,

240
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,679
so there could be some nervous energy later on on Wednesday,

241
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,639
or maybe you're feeling a bit on edge or you

242
00:15:20,759 --> 00:15:24,399
experience a slight change in plans, or maybe some surprising

243
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:28,600
news comes up that you didn't know about. So Wednesday

244
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:31,600
night may not be the most relaxing, but let's move

245
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:35,559
on to Thursday, now when the astrology gets much more

246
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,159
optimistic in my opinion. So Thursday, February twentieth, the moon

247
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,080
moves out of Scorpio into Sagittarius right around eight am Eastern,

248
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:47,360
So before that time, the moon is void, of course,

249
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,679
not doing a whole lot in Scorpio. If you're awake

250
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:54,000
before eight am Eastern, or you're in time zones ahead

251
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,399
of America, maybe the early part of your Thursday is

252
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,679
going more slowly, like not as many emails or coming through,

253
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,960
or you're just not as motivated to get up and

254
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,480
get moving. Expect things to happen a bit more once

255
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:11,399
that moon moves into Sagittarius. However, by Thursday, we have

256
00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:15,279
reached the third quarter moon phase. So for the next

257
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,960
week or so until we get that next new moon

258
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:23,440
and Pisces, nothing that new is getting established. This is

259
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:27,720
really a time for reflecting on your next steps, winding

260
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:32,000
down work and projects that you had been involved with

261
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,000
over the last month, and carving out more time for rest,

262
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,639
So headed into the weekend, starting around Thursday, your life

263
00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:43,399
may just feel more low key, like you're just not

264
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:46,519
wanting to do as much. I want to talk about

265
00:16:46,559 --> 00:16:49,399
the moon being in Sagittarius on Thursday, but I also

266
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,720
want to tie it in with how Mercury and Pisces

267
00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,159
will be squaring Jupiter and Gemini on this day too,

268
00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:01,679
because these two transits share some common theme with so

269
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:06,720
much influence from the planet Jupiter. So on Thursday, there

270
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:09,920
may be this strong desire to learn. This could be

271
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,519
a great day for reading, researching, or looking into other

272
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,079
cultures or belief systems. And maybe you have a surge

273
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,000
of ideas, or you're curious about picking up new topics,

274
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:26,319
new interests, and maybe you're thinking more optimistically, or the

275
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,160
conversations you're having with people on Thursday, you're not so

276
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,880
much talking about like drama or other people, but more

277
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,759
about bigger picture topics in life, and you want to

278
00:17:38,799 --> 00:17:43,160
stay open minded to other people's beliefs, other people's opinions,

279
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:46,200
and maybe think like, Okay, how can I be less

280
00:17:46,279 --> 00:17:48,799
rigid in the way I think about the world, and

281
00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:52,240
how can I invite more of this new knowledge or

282
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,279
perspective into my life. I would say the downside of

283
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,279
the Mercury squaring Jupiter transit on Thursday, though, is is

284
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,680
this tendency to overthink or just have your thoughts going

285
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,519
in a million different directions. So it might just be

286
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:12,119
a bit more challenging to stay on track with tasks

287
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,119
at work, or you could just want to be mindful

288
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,240
of what information are you consuming at this time, is

289
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,599
it the best for your mental state, and how can

290
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,279
you maybe channel your thoughts more into something productive, like

291
00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,880
writing something for yourself or creating a piece of content

292
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,559
you really love, or reading a book that opens your

293
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,279
mind and makes you feel better about yourself. Thursday is

294
00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:40,599
the day of the week ruled by Jupiter, so I

295
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,160
love how the moon is in the Jupiter world sign

296
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,559
of Sagittarius and Mercury is in the Jupiter world sign

297
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:51,880
of Pisces, and they're both connecting with Jupiter. So it's

298
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,880
just huge influence from this planet on this day. And

299
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,079
Jupiter has a lot to do with education, other cultures,

300
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,559
open mindedness, and also sometimes travel, So maybe travel is

301
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:06,519
something that's coming up for some of you at the

302
00:19:06,599 --> 00:19:09,680
end of this week, and the Moon and Sagittarius will

303
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,480
also be training Venus and Aries on Thursday, so this

304
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,279
is more of an outgoing social energy than we've seen

305
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,119
so far this week, So Thursday would be my pick

306
00:19:21,279 --> 00:19:24,079
of day for meeting up with people or going to

307
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,119
an event. I think Thursday might even be my favorite

308
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,720
day of this week, just because there's more of an optimistic,

309
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,759
like uplifting type of spirit for being around other people

310
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,920
or being excited to learn new things than we are

311
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,720
to Friday, February twenty. First, the moon is still in

312
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:45,640
Sagittarius all day and it's exactly opposing Jupiter and Gemini

313
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,839
and also squaring Mercury and pis C's first thing on Friday,

314
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:55,079
So we're starting Friday off strong with this fun, lighthearted again,

315
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,799
maybe more of a social energy, like maybe you're texting

316
00:19:57,839 --> 00:20:01,119
with your friends a lot more or finalizing plans for

317
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,720
the weekend. Friday is another great day for writing and

318
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:10,079
generating ideas. However, that theme of overthinking things may still

319
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:14,119
carry into Friday too, or your emotions may feel a

320
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,039
bit all over the place because Jupiter amplifying the moon

321
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,440
in that way could mean that you're experiencing like high

322
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:26,200
highs but also low lows with your feelings, so be

323
00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:29,359
mindful of just like how you're reacting to certain situations,

324
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,759
and try returning to all of those exercises we talked

325
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:37,559
about in getting grounded and connecting with yourself. It'll be

326
00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,599
so important to remember throughout this entire week. The moon

327
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,400
won't move on to square Saturn in Pisces until later

328
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,079
on on Friday night, so time zones ahead. This would

329
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,880
apply to your Saturday morning. So headed into the end

330
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,400
of Friday, you may feel a bit heavier of an energy,

331
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,240
or there's some internal frustration coming up, or maybe there's

332
00:20:59,279 --> 00:21:02,880
an unexpected to set back that you encounter, or an

333
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,839
errand or responsibility that you need to take care of

334
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,680
first before you can fully relax and have fun. Hopefully

335
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,839
it's not that you have to work on Friday night,

336
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,079
although maybe for some of you work does extend later

337
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,720
than usual, or your plans for Friday night just require

338
00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:25,680
more planning on your part than we are to the weekend. Saturday,

339
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,319
February twenty second, the moon is in Sagittarius for most

340
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:32,559
of Saturday. It's not making as many connections to other

341
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:38,079
planets though, so Saturday is much more slow. Relax, try

342
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,039
not to plan too much and see where the day

343
00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,680
takes you. And if you don't really want to do

344
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,960
anything on Saturday, you don't want to plan anything or

345
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,240
even see anyone, that's fine too, But if you are

346
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:52,839
seeing friends, maybe just make it like an easy activity,

347
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,559
not something that requires a lot of effort in planning

348
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:59,119
on your part. The Moon will connect with Neptune later

349
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,160
on in the day, which may have you feeling sensitive

350
00:22:02,839 --> 00:22:06,240
on Saturday afternoon, or maybe there's some type of miscommunication

351
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:10,200
that comes up. Right around six pm Eastern, the moon

352
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,920
will finally move out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn, So

353
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,880
Saturday night, I really don't see this as super outgoing

354
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,599
or social. However, the moon and Capricorn will be sex

355
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,559
tiling the Sun and Pisces at this time, so it's

356
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:30,720
a great night for feeling more calm and grounded. And

357
00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:33,960
maybe you want to stay in and cook for yourself

358
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,799
or figure out your to do list for the week ahead.

359
00:22:38,079 --> 00:22:42,400
Just finding ways to feel more at ease. And if

360
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,680
you are wanting to do something a bit social on

361
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,640
Saturday night, maybe it's with people you know really well

362
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,400
or can open up to. This is not the greatest

363
00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:56,480
energy for attending a huge group event or meeting a

364
00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:59,440
ton of people you don't already know. We're really noticing

365
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,559
how things are getting much quieter as we get closer

366
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:04,559
to the new moon. And that brings us to the

367
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,759
last day of this week, Sunday, February twenty third. Mars

368
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:12,920
stations direct at seventeen degrees of cancer. After two and

369
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,799
a half long, long months, Mars retrograde is ending. However,

370
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:22,400
when a planet stations from retrograde to direct, or also

371
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,000
from being direct to retrograde, the qualities of that planet

372
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,920
and whatever sign it's in and whatever house that might

373
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,720
be affecting for you, it's being felt in a very

374
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:35,039
loud way, so on Sunday and maybe headed a bit

375
00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:37,920
into next week. It's kind of like what I was

376
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,480
talking about at the very start of this episode, how

377
00:23:40,519 --> 00:23:44,240
you may be quick to get frustrated or angry, or

378
00:23:44,279 --> 00:23:48,119
maybe you're noticing a surge of energy and emotion that

379
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,640
is going on right around February twenty third, especially because

380
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Mars is in this sign of cancer. I associate this

381
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,640
with getting very emotionally worked up or protective, needing to

382
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,720
fight for something that you care about. Mars will be

383
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:08,079
camped out at seventeen degrees of cancer for a while

384
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,359
around three weeks, just at this single degree. I think

385
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,240
it's already been there for like a week or ten

386
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,880
days in the lead up to the twenty third, and

387
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,839
then it'll be there for one to two weeks after

388
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,839
this retrograde ends. So if you have angles or planets

389
00:24:24,839 --> 00:24:29,359
in your chart right around seventeen degrees of a cardinal sign,

390
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,440
maybe give or take three degrees on either side of seventeen,

391
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,759
so planets are angles in cancer areas Libra or Capricorn,

392
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:43,240
you may be feeling this heated or almost aggressive energy

393
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,759
very intensely. On a more positive note, it could be

394
00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:50,640
that you have this surge of energy that you want

395
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,559
to put towards the topics of whatever planet or angle

396
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,039
or house in your chart is being affected by this

397
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:02,759
Mars transit. For example, I have my Jupiter in Libra

398
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,640
at fourteen degrees, so fourteen degrees that's only three degrees

399
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,920
away from where Mars is stationing at seventeen degrees of cancer.

400
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,559
And at the tail end of this Mars retrograde, I've

401
00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:18,039
been putting a lot of energy and reflection on how

402
00:25:18,079 --> 00:25:21,839
I can share my knowledge in different ways and I

403
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,799
have a feeling that that's going to become so clear

404
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,079
and I'm going to quickly figure out how to best

405
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,599
do that once Mars retrograde ends, and there is this

406
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,200
intense pressure on that chart placement for me. But even

407
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,880
looking at that cancer world house in your chart, even

408
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,839
if you don't have planets in cancer or capricorner libra

409
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,759
or ares, the cancer world house of your chart is

410
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:48,839
getting a lot of focus at this time. And it's

411
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,400
if that has been an area of your life that's

412
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,559
felt very frustrating or confusing or slowed down recently, you're

413
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,880
finally getting more motivated, more motivation to move ahead there,

414
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,880
or you're figuring out what needs to be done next

415
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,400
in that part of your life. And as an exercise,

416
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,000
maybe you want to think back to early September twenty

417
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:15,079
twenty four when Mars first entered this cancer or worldhouse

418
00:26:15,079 --> 00:26:18,519
of your chart and maybe affected planets or angles there.

419
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:21,640
How was something that was frustrating to you about that

420
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,079
part of your life back then coming full circle and

421
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,960
getting sorted out now, Often when Mars retrograde ends, you

422
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:33,400
end up being motivated to do something or start something

423
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,559
new that wasn't even on your radar before that retrograde began.

424
00:26:38,319 --> 00:26:41,640
So I actually loved the first couple of months coming

425
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,680
right off of the Mars retrograde. It's like there's a

426
00:26:43,759 --> 00:26:49,440
rush of energy and finally there's this ability to get

427
00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:54,640
new projects and new opportunities and new relationships off the ground. Unfortunately,

428
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,079
we do have a venus and mercury retrograde starting soon,

429
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,920
so that kind of complicates things. But I do feel

430
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,119
like once Mars moves back into Leo on April eighteenth

431
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:09,359
and finishes retracing the steps of its retrograde once it

432
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,200
gets past six degrees of Leo, this will be probably

433
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:18,279
end of April into early May, and those both of

434
00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:21,319
those mercury and venus retrogrades are fully over by then.

435
00:27:22,039 --> 00:27:25,119
That's when you'll have an even better idea of next steps.

436
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,039
What motivates you, what do you want to get working on,

437
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,960
So if you're not feeling that immediately, try to remain

438
00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:36,079
patient over the next few weeks. Also, on Sunday, the

439
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:40,400
moon is in Capricorn all day, directly opposing Mars in cancer,

440
00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:44,440
so this again points to how emotions might be super

441
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,200
heightened on Sunday, or maybe you're noticing how aggression or

442
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,000
anger is coming from people needing to communicate if you

443
00:27:52,039 --> 00:27:56,039
are upset about If you are upset or frustrated about something,

444
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,079
will be key on Sunday. You won't want to harbor

445
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,319
frustration or allow your anger to be repressed. And if

446
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,720
you do feel super worked up about something, it could

447
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,960
be helpful to work out and exercise and stay active

448
00:28:11,279 --> 00:28:15,839
or focusing on productivity or some type of work that

449
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:21,799
might help to bring down any internal tension you're feeling

450
00:28:22,039 --> 00:28:24,839
on Sunday, because it's really not an easy energy with

451
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:30,039
the moon triggering that Mars retrograde ending. But yeah, that

452
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,119
is it for this week. We've got a lot going

453
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,880
on and I am definitely curious to see how this

454
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,440
plays out and how things start to look a bit

455
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,880
differently once sun is in pie season, Mars retrograde is over.

456
00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,119
Thank you again for listening, and I will see you

457
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,640
back here next Monday,
