Monday, FEBRUARY 20

The New Moon occurs early today–at 2:06 AM EST–in the sign of Pisces, and it’s a time for a new beginning or fresh start. We’re gathering the inspiration to take a leap of faith. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives in the weeks ahead. We’re motivated to carve out time for peaceful and rejuvenating activities or to entertain a dream and perhaps share it with someone special.

With the Sun separating from an alignment with Saturn, we have our responsibilities in mind, but we’re also picking up steam in the faith or inspiration department. Venus is at the very end of the sign of Pisces as this New Moon occurs–it enters Aries 50 minutes later–suggesting an ending in the social or financial department could power or drive our new beginnings.

Venus transits Aries from today until March 16th, and we are bold, fresh, and a little impatient regarding matters of the heart. We don’t look back–we’re not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past. Our desires are strong, and we express them spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Our tastes are simple, but we can feel the need to fulfill them urgently in the weeks ahead.

Today’s sextile between Mercury and Chiron is strong for opening healthy dialogues. We approach problems holistically, and our problem-solving skills are high. This transit brings subtle but enhancing energy for communications.
