Note: the dates in this forecast are for Pacific to Eastern time.
Unless I provide a specific timeframe, we’ll feel the energies 24-72 hours in advance of the date I mention (the date when the planetary alignment is exact). They will be gaining in strength as they approach the date. We will also feel them for 24-48 hours after, but they will be losing strength with each passing hour.

Mars finally turns direct this week, ending the retrograde motion it started on Dec. 6 2024. If you've been feeling stuck in some areas of your life and unable to get ahead, things can start moving forward as of Sunday.
In fact, next week - from Feb. 24 to Feb. 28 - all the planets are direct, which is traditionally a very helpful period. It's like when you're swimming to the shore, and a gentle but powerful way comes behind you and propels you forward with great momentum.
But then - not to depress you - Venus and Mercury will both be turning retrograde in March. Just a heads-up!
Mercury is strongly featured this week, but the first part of the week may lead to over-enthusiasm and over-commitment. Use it to tap into the strong Water energy in the skies, with the Sun entering Pisces and the Moon connecting several planets into a Grand Trine in Water. Listen to your intuition. If you are an artist, work on your art! Tuesday and Wednesday are a great couple of days to restore emotional well-being and to connect with the Divine.
Use this week to get organized, so you can fully spring into high gear when Mars ends its retrograde motion on Saturday!
✨ Feb. 18: the Sun Enters Pisces; Grand Trine in Water Signs
The Sun enters Pisces at 2:07 a.m. PST. Happy Birthday to all my Pisces readers! The Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Neptune are all in Pisces for the next two weeks, boosting creativity, intuition, and the ability to connect with the Divine.
✨ Feb. 18-19: Grand Trine in Water Signs + Opportunity Period!
As the Moon travels through Scorpio, it will be making a trine to Mercury, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and to Mars in Cancer. This is a great couple of days for charitable work, artistic pursuits, and spirituality.
Note that if your birthday falls on Feb. 18-19, this very lovely energy will be captured in your Solar Return chart - your temporary chart for the next 12 months. It might be a good year to get a
Solar Return reading.
The Opportunity Period will last from Feb. 19 3:47 p.m. to Feb. 20 2:06 a.m. PST. It's happening on a waning Moon, making it a great time to release any unwanted or unhelpful emotions, and to restore your emotional well-being.
✨Feb. 20: Mercury square Jupiter
A very optimistic energy, but don’t promise more than you can deliver. And, don’t fall prey to over-the-top sales pitches today.
✨ Feb. 23: Mars turns direct; Mercury trine Mars
Now this is a very good day for communication-related matters, contracts, presentations, and proposals. But, if you need to cinch a deal, wait until 6:00 p.m. PST because that's when Mars turns direct.
This Week's Recommendation is...a Tarot Deck!
This deck makes me think of Pisces Season... I have it, and I love it. The Ryder-Waite deck is my primary deck, because it's so pragmatic and brutally honest. But the Light Seer's deck is something different altogether.
It gives you amazingly profound answers that transcend the mundane. It's the deck I use for one of my best-seller readings, "
Am I at the Right Place in Life?"
I love everything about it. From the rich imagery to the luxurious feel of it in my hand....
