This week is jam packed full with lots of amazing transits and celebrations. We have a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius the day after Valentine's Day, followed up by Chinese New Year, and we end the week with Mercury and our Sun entering Pisces.

We may feel a lot of intensity on the mental and emotional fronts, and it may be hard to keep up with everything going on around us. Hold on tight and try to get a clear intention set for what you want to achieve in this next cycle as New Moons, especially Solar Eclipse New Moons are the perfect energy for manifestation rituals and establishing clear intent to the world on what we want to be receiving in this next chapter.

Monday 2/12

Moon in Capricorn

Moon Void of Course 9:43PM

Monday will start out very action and goal oriented. We may have been feeling sluggish over the past week, but with the Moon in Capricorn we will feel more emotionally fulfilled if we take charge and focus on checking off things on our "to do" list rather than procrastinating. This is a great day for physical activity. Get ready to start this week with a "hit the ground running" kind of attitude.

Strong Aspects During the Day PST

Moon conjunct Mercury in Aquarius 11:21AM

This energy will have us wanting to share ideas and get things moving. This is great for meetings with people about future projects. Also a great energy for writers and people in tech.

Moon Sextile Jupiter in Scorpio 3:42PM

This is a harmonious transit where we may feel more like we are finding emotional footing in what we are doing. We may feel grounded in what we are working through during this transit.

Moon Square Uranus 9:43PM

Come evening we may feel some tension regarding our sense of self and whether we feel we need to change things up. If you feel restless in the evening, this is a great energy for moving the body and doing a late night work out. It is also beneficial to write out another "to-do" list to give you any peace of mind going into the week on what else needs to be accomplished.

Tuesday 2/13

Mardi Gras

Moon enters Aquarius 7:11AM

With the Moon in Aquarius we may be feeling a bit more rebellious in nature and we may feel an urge to push back and go against structures. This energy could have us feeling like we are resenting traditional values or responsibilities we would rather not have. It will be important that you do things that mentally stimulate you instead of focusing on what you are unhappy with. This energy is best used to broaden your point of view and learn something new that is of interest to you.

Strong Aspects During the Day PST

Mercury in Aquarius Square Jupiter in Scorpio 2:39PM

Tension will run high around matters of the heart and mind with our minds rebelling potentially against things we are feeling at a deep level. It will be important to assess where the pain is rooted from. What are we rebelling against, what old seeds need acknowledging? Is there growth happening beneath the surface? Be mindful of how you communicate with others as you may be easily triggered from a deep rooted place that has nothing to do with the outside force that is triggering you. Go within for the answers.

Sun in Aquarius Sextile Uranus in Aries 6:22PM

"A-ha" moments around the self may come to fruition as our evening progresses. The tension we felt in the earlier part of the day may have us shedding light on some issues around the ego that needed addressing. You will feel a sense of relief having identified the part of the self that needed acknowledging so that true growth can really happen.

Wednesday 2/14

Valentines Day/Ash Wednesday

Moon in Aquarius

Ash Wednesday falling on Valentines Day this year has not happened since 1945. This duality of a religious holiday which marks the beginning of Lent, a period of fasting for serious Christians, has sparked much debate over how to celebrate Lent as well as Valentines day. The fact that this has already caused a stir in the media is very in line with our Moon in Aquarius energy on this day as it challenges our values and structures in place. Regardless of your religious orientation, with the Moon in Aquarius we may feel like challenging the traditions and the "old" way of doin things. Maybe we reject the corporate and capitalist celebration of love by doing something that is more focused on self care rather than spending it with someone else. Either way this will be an interesting day as love may not feel like it is in the air, we may feel more at odds with the projection of love onto each other and need space and time to be alone with our thoughts.

Strong Aspects During the Day PST

Moon Sextile Mars in Sagittarius 6:29AM

This is a confidence boosting transit in the morning where we start the day knowing what we want and how to proceed forward. With the energy of the Moon in Aquarius and Mars in Sagittarius, we may be feeling more rebellious and aggressive than usual. You will want to be mindful of being too overly confident or pushy, but over all this energy is great for sharing ideas and getting things moving forward. Especially things you are passionate about.

Thursday 2/15

Partial Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius 1:05PM

Moon Void of Course 1:05PM

Moon Enters Pisces 6:42PM

Thursday we have our powerful Eclipse in the sign of Aquarius. We will have Mercury, Juno, the Moon, and the Sun all conjunct on this day which will effect our ideas around relationships and how we communicate matters of beliefs in the heart and mind with others. These planets will also be in a harmonious sextile to Uranus causing us to feel a sense of restructuring within the self around our ideas in our relationships and how we communicate. You will be able to read a whole blog I wrote on this Solar Eclipse by the 15th over at theritualstore.com.

Strong Aspects During the Day PST

Mercury in Aquarius Sextile Uranus in Aries 7:07AM

This is a harmonious energy for our morning, causing us to feel confident in who we are and how we establish our own authority and beliefs in our lives and to the world. The need to break free from old values is emphasized, so you may feel or also see others feeling overly passionate about laying down their "truth" and outlook on life. We could see a lot of political or self empowerment posts on the internet, and because of the Solar Eclipse, we may even see some events take place that could shock or astound us.If you are wanting to break out of your comfort zone, this may be the day to do it.

Moon Sextile Uranus in Aries 9:40AM

This transit will reinforce the above energy into the morning and h
