“This week in the Stars”

by Alexis Cox (radhahomeyoga)

20th – 26th February 2023

The week begins with the first steps after the New Moon, with our luminaries still in Aquarius. With the Moon moving past the Sun and out of Saturn’s range, we may start to feel lighter and find an awakening within ourselves as she enters Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra later in the day. This is the star where we are struck by the awareness that we are beyond this form and these mundane lives.

The Moon travels into Pisces, joining Jupiter and Venus on the 21st, offering us higher love, deeper wisdom and a capacity to release our attachments in a more watery and fantastical way than Saturn was granting over the New Moon.

On the 23rd, the Moon moves into Aries, joining Rahu and we might start to feel like acting on whatever we were dreaming up midweek. Be mindful of setting out in too many directions and with only a smoke signal to guide.

By evening on the 25th the moon will be exalted in the early degrees of Taurus, in the star of Krittika, where we are able to cut apart from our illusions and see with the help of the fire deity, Agni. Coming closer to Mars in the next day, we will see a spark ignited, even as our awareness and emotional states remain grounded and in the moment.

Forecast for all 12 Signs.

Aries
 Your planet of hard work and your ruling planet are both in Earth signs, highlighting your value and how much effort you have to put in to serve your higher vision. You are mired in your self worth in Venus’ sensuous sign of Taurus, and your relationship planet, plus planet of higher wisdom, are  causing you to check out into fantasy, escaping the details of your relations to others. The Moon is transiting from your house of community, to your house of illusion, to your house of the Self, into join your ruling planet in the house of your value, so expect yourself to run the full gamut of feelings this week!

Taurus
The Moon is traveling from your house of career, status and recognition, into the house of community and higher ambitions, joining your ruling planet, showing how transformational your connections will be this month. You might find yourself checking out mid-week, as the Moon transits your 12th joining Rahu and enhancing your illusions and focusing on yourself and your relationships over the weekend. It’s your last three weeks of having Mars, your relationship planet blazing on your identity, so enjoy the fire!
