[Why Syzygy]

19. February 24 - March 2

February 24 - March 2

Busy, busy. Besides the continuing Mercury retrograde, there's a hypersensitive Full Moon, a foggy Venus/Neptune aspect, plus a Sun/Moon trine to make you smile this week. Because Mercury is retrograde, communications are on the hot seat. Don't be surprised if electronic equipment and gadgets seem to be full of little gremlins that make your life difficult. Expect misunderstandings, missed calls, texts routed into cyberspace, and appointment mix-ups to be as common as cold. But Tuesday, February 26, is the real problem child of the week when Mercury backs up and merges with red-hot Mars, and you will see tempers flare. There is a Full Moon on Monday, February 25, in Virgo. The theme of the Virgo Full Moon is to find the delicate balance between being hypersensitive and obsessive-compulsive. As hard as that may be, this Full Moon also comes with a particular challenge because the Sun/Moon are both involved in a T-square with Jupiter. Because Sun/Moon/Jupiter are in flexible signs, this T-square is not as difficult as it sounds. You will have a choice to either (a) make changes in your life or (b) go completely off the rails. In general, every Full Moon signifies the time of the month when the lunar or unconscious forces are at the peak of their power. The two weeks following the Full Moon are good times to wrap things up, get rid of bad habits, and put the finishing touches on projects that are in the works. Later that same day, February 25, ladylike Venus enters feminine Pisces, where it will be an honored guest for the next four weeks. Then on Thursday, February 28, enchanting Venus teams up with dreamy Neptune, which ramps up romance, spirituality, artistic creativity, and feelings of compassion. Unfortunately this is also a time to watch your wallet, because this position indicates a nebulous approach to money. Hands down the calmest day of this week is Saturday, March 2, when the Sun and Moon/Saturn form an emotional water trine. Take advantage of this sweet alignment and make plans to visit a spa, go on a retreat, or get away for a romantic weekend.
