Thursday, FEBRUARY 26

The Moon continues its transit of Gemini only until 12:11 AM EST, when it heads into Cancer.

Mercury stations and turns retrograde in Pisces today, and will be retrograde until March 20th. We might get our wires crossed today. Communication can be tricky, and it can be hard to focus on cold, hard facts as the shift occurs now.

During the cycle itself, however, we should grow more accustomed to the retrograde, and our thinking turns inward as we review and reassess matters. There is a need to do things differently, especially related to communicating, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail, and shipping.

It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly, but it can also be a time for seeing some details we missed in recent days – we see matters from a new perspective.

This period is best used for reorganizing and reflecting. We look at the world through different filters and can experience important revelations.

Mercury retrograde periods can be times of heightened inner awareness, when meditation, journal-keeping, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored. Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication can reconnect us with other, possibly more meaningful means of communication.

As well today, Chiron aligns with Ceres and harmonizes with Vesta, boosting our resilience, particularly in problem-solving and improving our lives. We’re learning from our experiences, particularly those related to love and attachments, and we enjoy helping people, teaching, and growing through our connections.

It can be a time to connect with others who share similar ideas and ideals, and to learn from those who don’t. We can thoroughly enjoy a sense of mission.

The Moon continues its void period until it enters Cancer today at 12:11 AM EST.
