Yearly Astrology Trends Calendar

Saturday, FEBRUARY 16

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer, drawing our keen attention to our personal lives, attachments, home, family, and familiar places and faces. The Moon in Cancer is warm and safe. However, it opposes Venus, Saturn, and Pluto, suggesting some tension due to our drives to perform, pleasure in producing, or the demands of our responsibilities. We can be competitive and perhaps impatient.

Nevertheless, the Moon also forms a trine to Neptune, and we can find creative ways to express and satisfy our increased needs for safety. Today is good for respecting our intuition and relaxing rather than pushing forward, even if we need to do some battle with our desires to perform or produce. As well, Venus heads towards a sextile to Neptune, exact early tomorrow. We’re more imaginative and attuned to the worlds of beauty and romance, and we tend to approach one another more gently than usual with this transit. A magical time on a romantic and social level is possible now, as we are inclined to see spiritual dimensions of our relationships and to approach others with increased compassion. This influence encourages us to open up and embrace loving feelings. There can be a commitment made to work through tough problems, or a willingness to put our talents to good use. We can be determined to take better care of ourselves, and discoveries made now can fuel or reignite our motivation to pursue a particular path.

Sunday, FEBRUARY 17

The Moon enters Leo this morning at 10:21 AM EST, and we’re especially playful, attentive, and self-aware. The Sun is heading towards a sextile to Uranus, exact early tomorrow, and this aspect serves to stimulate our willingness to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. Group connections can be enlightening. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make positive changes now.

This is a time for flexibility, but at the same time, Venus is heading towards an alignment with Saturn, and we may be viewing or taking our attachments and affections a little more seriously. When it comes to finances and relationships, we may need to limit a pleasure or indulgence or sacrifice a material benefit for a spiritual one (or vice versa). Extravagances have a way of catching up with us and buckling down is necessary, but we generally feel good about making a mature choice now. We may be experiencing a new sense of realism in our relationships. This can also be a time for bonding more strongly with loved ones through the sharing of a responsibility, concern, or dilemma.

The Moon is void from 9:18 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Uranus), until the Moon enters Leo at 10:21 AM EST.

Monday, FEBRUARY 18

Chiron enters Aries today, where it will transit until 2026-2027. With this transit, we’re rebuilding our confidence, which is a particularly sensitive topic now. Personal and health problems or body image issues that have held us back come up for review. We’re learning to assert ourselves and focus on our needs (in healthy doses) without feeling guilty in the process. This transit emphasizes the concept that healing begins within oneself.

Chiron entered Aries in April 2018 before returning to complete its transit of Pisces from September 25th, 2018, to today. The year 2019 features Uranus moving out of Aries (in just over two weeks from now) and Chiron’s move into the sign!

As well today, the Sun enters Pisces where it will spend the coming month. During this cycle, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and a sense of universal correlations guides us. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side involves self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and avoidance.

This morning, the Venus-Saturn alignment perfects, and we may be facing reality about our finances, a personal belief, or a love/social matter. A commitment may be made, or there can be a “test” of sorts to an existing commitment. Renewed ties to old friends, ideas, and projects are possible, or a new sense of responsibility towards existing ones can emerge.

As the day advances, however, we head towards a Mercury-Neptune alignment, which has an entirely different flavor! Daydreaming, visualization, and prophecy are stimulated. It’s possible to heal and inspire through our words. However, it’s not an ideal time for clarity and straightforward communications. We should avoid allowing wishful thinking to dictate our decisions.

The Moon spends the day in Leo, and its harmony with Jupiter in Sagittarius this evening encourages us to grow, improve, and pursue our ideals or goals with confidence.

Chiron enters Aries

Chiron is in Aries …

• from April 17, 2018, to September 25, 2018,
• and then from February 18, 2019, to June 29, 2026,
• and then from September 17, 2026, to April 14, 2027.

Chiron is now in the sign of Aries after spending over seven years in the sign of Pisces. We’ll be rebuilding our confidence, including body confidence, during this cycle. These are sensitive points now. Personal and health problems that have held us back come up for review. We’ll be learning to assert ourselves and focus on our needs in healthy doses without feeling guilty in the process. This transit emphasizes the concept that healing begins within oneself. Chiron returned to Pisces from September 25, 2018, to February 18, 2019, and now transits Aries until 2026/7. The year 2019 features Uranus moving out of Aries and Chiron’s move into the sign!

Chiron in Aries

Sun enters Pisces

Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 20, 2019. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side rules self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.

The Moon is Full in Virgo on February 19, 2019, at 10:54 AM EST.

Full Moon in Virgo Chart: February 19, 2019

The Full Moon in Virgo marks the beginning of a new cycle.

Notes: In the first degree of Virgo. Trine Mars and Uranus. Happens at a time when Venus is between Saturn and Pluto, however, (Venus feels trapped/stuck) but also when Mercury conjunct Neptune sextiles Saturn and Venus.

This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition, and these feelings may emerge from a feeling of being stuck in a frustrating situation.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 0 degrees and 42 minutes of Virgo, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 27 to 30 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) and 0 to 5 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Venus enters Aquarius

Venus is in Aquarius from March 1, 2019-March 26, 2019. We move towards unconventionality, independence, and freedom as themes in our social relationships under this influence. Aquarius can be just as faithful as Capricorn, but it has to be on his own terms! Experimental relationships are more intriguing now. Being friends as well as lovers is important to us during this cycle. Allowing one another freedom of expression, and treating others fairly, unselfishly, and impartially, are themes now.

Mercury now turns retrograde at 29° Pisces 38′.

Mercury is retrograde from March 5, 2019, at 29° Pisces 30, until March 28, 2019, at 16° Pisces 06.

Mercury Retrograde

Uranus enters Taurus

Uranus is in Taurus …

• from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018,
• and then from March 6, 2019, to July 7, 2025,
• and then from November 7, 2025, to April 25, 2026.

While Uranus is in Taurus, we’re bringing changes and shaking things up, particularly related to how we’re enjoying our lives, what we own, and how we arrange our things. We may be approaching money and personal possessions in a new, exciting way.

We’re more financially savvy and progressive in business and practical matters. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable are likely to emerge during this period.

There may be less inhibition about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Feminist movements grow and metamorphose. Our values may lean more towards the unconventional or we’re challenging what we previously valued.

Potential problems can include seeking freedom and independence by focusing on materialistic pursuits which can be distracting and reactive when it would be more desirable to detach ourselves from some of our attachments to things and seek freedom through so doing. We’re learning how to free ourselves from certain material constraints. There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values now. This can also be a time when income comes from non-traditional sources or ventures.

We’ll be bringing progressive ideas to the world of business during this transit that lasts until 2026. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely during this cycle. Income and perhaps the energy we put into making money can be variable as we seek to find ourselves.

The Moon is New in Pisces on March 6, 2019, at 11:05 AM EST.

Aligned with Neptune quite tightly (within a degree), sextile Saturn, sextile Mars, widely square Jupiter. Mercury is stationary retrograde at a critical degree (didn’t quite finish its transit of Pisces).

New Moon in Pisces Chart: March 6, 2019

The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This New Moon is especially creative and imaginative with its conjunction to Neptune, square to Jupiter, and sextile to Mars. We are likely to feel very inspired, and this New Moon can motivate us to take a leap of faith, but we also check in with reality with Saturn’s sextile to the lunation. It also occurs shortly after Mercury stationed and turned retrograde and Uranus entered Taurus, and some instability or lack of clear judgment is likely now.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 15 degrees and 47 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 12 to 20 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Sun enters Aries

Sun is in Aries from March 20-April 20, 2019. In Aries, the Sun is enthusiastic and spontaneous. We are motivated by the desire to conquer. We are more impulsive and have the urge to initiate. Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly–there is little in the way of shame with Aries. It is brave and pioneering, and somewhat innocent. We are direct and rather uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted and lack the desire to plan ahead.

Sun in Aries

The Moon is Full in Libra on March 20, 2019, at 9:43 PM EDT.

Full Moon in Libra Chart: March 20, 2019

The Full Moon in Libra marks the beginning of a new cycle.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 0 degrees and 9 minutes of Libra, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.

Venus enters Pisces

Venus is in Pisces from March 26-April 20, 2019. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be victimized or deluded, as well as evasiveness.

Mercury now turns direct at 23° Pisces 44′ after over three weeks of retrograde motion. Mercury is in its post-retrograde shadow until April 17, 2019.

Mercury first turned retrograde on March 5th at 2:18 PM at 29° Pisces 38′.

Mars enters Gemini

Mars is in Gemini from March 31-May 15 2019.
