Weekly Updates: February 10th-16th
Before we dive into this week’s astrology… let’s take a lil’ vibe check 💜
♈️💞 With Venus officially in Aries, it may have brought up feelings of frustration, impatience, or a strong urge to stand up for yourself. I felt this! I’m in the process of trying to find a new job in my industry and I’m pretty sure I spent the whole of last week, ANGRY AF. Don’t get me wrong, anger is GOOD. It means there’s a passion within you. Sacred rage will move mountains. 🔥 But it drained my energy, and I’m choosing to redirect that anger this week.
Let’s get into the vibes of the week!
It’s extremely consolidated between a few transits happening:
⚡️🧠🌞 The conversation happening between the Sun and Mercury in Aquarius, squaring off with Uranus in Taurus... which leads us into a very dramatic Leo-esque Full Moon on Wednesday. 🌕♌️🦁
🌞 When Mercury joins the Sun in the sky, we call it a "cazimi" which translates to in the heart of the sun. It's a metaphorical concept - the Sun completely shines its light on Mercury, enhancing all that it offers. Ideally, this creates a sense of clarity, understanding, or a new perspective around what's been swirling around in that head of yours. Whatever that may be! 💡
This energy has been building and will come to a head on Wednesday during the Full Moon in Leo (see below for more info). To add to this, Uranus, the planet of innovation, our higher mind/consciousness, and abrupt (sometimes shocking) change, is squaring off with the Sun and Mercury. 🤺
This adds an intensity... an unpredictability... to the capabilities of our mind, our perceptions of reality, and how we consume said reality.
🐍 The Sun and Mercury in Aquarius reflect our desire to fight the status quo, do things differently, and be innovative. But Uranus in Taurus is challenging that energy, asking Aquarius the tough question... are you willing to let go of the need for control, of the need for safety, in order to move forward? Do you have your own back? Will you catch yourself if (WHEN) you fall?
🌀 Change is necessary for growth and evolution. Sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it rips you to shreds. Other times, change is the exact push you need to enter into a new, more beautiful and authentic version of yourself. Evolve of repeat.
♋️🌊♓️ The underlying energy of Mars retrograde in Cancer trine with Saturn in Pisces is still simmering throughout the rest of the month.
This trine, ideally bringing support and harmonizing watery vibes (Cancer and Pisces are water signs... heightened intuitive and psychic experiences, sensitivities, emotional healing, empathy and sympathy, and more creativity), can go either way because Mars is in Cancer in retrograde.
❤️🩹❤️🔥 The way I see this: there's a part of you that feels vulnerable, wounded, and hard to reach... maybe you feel really self protective, maybe you just want to some revenge or someone to get what's coming for them, but Saturn in Pisces is like "Yo! Mars! Chill! Let it be. Don't hold a grudge. Don't wish ill on someone. Forgive & forget & love those who love you back. Protect your peace. Hold firm in those boundaries. That is the deepest self of act love and protection."
🩷 This month is constant reminder for us that sometimes, you really do just have to let it go.
LEO FULL MOON 🦁🌕♌️
Wednesday 7:53am CT @ 24°
This is a time for emotional release around self-expression, creativity, and individuality. Uranus calls for radical shifts in how we communicate and assert ourselves, asking us to break free from limiting patterns and embrace change. As you release limiting beliefs and step into authentic self-expression with courage, your voice has the power to be a catalyst for change and innovation.
How have you been suppressing your authentic expression for the sake of acceptance?
Where in your life is to time to release control and lean into the uncertainty?
The New Moon in Leo was on August 4, 2024. What themes were present in your life during that time? Take a moment to reflect on how far you’ve come and what you still need to work on.
