“We use astrology most constructively and creatively when we gain from it a sense of what is possible for us at the highest levels of our potentialities. Seeing that, the challenges is then to keep our eyes open to life itself, to be able to respond appropriately when some event or change of circumstances…” ~ Dane Rudhyar “Astrological Aspects – a Process-Oriented Approach” 1980
PISCES SEASON BRINGS DEEP SENSITIVITY
Monday, February 18, 2019:
The week begins with much astrological activity. You can anticipate a bit of excitement along with the need to plant a seed of seriousness in partnerships or love. The Sun forms a delightful sextile aspect to Uranus just before it enters Pisces bringing a sharp sense of excitement to your dreams and imagination. Significant changes are on the horizon that you are just beginning to get a glimmer of. With Venus conjunct Saturn you will also be offered an opportunity to stabilize your most dearly held values regarding love and money.
Excitement, imagination, ambition, and love join forces to move you into the Pisces Season. At 6:03 PM EST the Sun enters this Mutable Water sign, opening each of us to themes of sensitivity, compassion, and inspiration. While the Sun is in Pisces we encounter deep imagination and are motivated by selflessness, empathy, and intangible depths of sensitivity. These coming weeks are good for connecting with an elusive dream, taking up meditation, writing poetry, listening to music and allowing yourself to transcend the mundane world. It may be a challenge to keep the solid ground under your feet, keep your most grounded friends nearby to assist you. If you are a very grounded person be prepared to help others hold steady.
With the Moon still in Leo allow a full range of playful imagination. Go ahead and bring some fun into the day.
VIRGO FULL MOON: ILLUMINATION OF EFFORT
Tuesday, February 19, 2019:
Before the day really begins Mercury, the planet of thought and communication joins with Neptune bringing a strong focus to imagination, inspiration, and mystical thought patterns.
Reality will catch up with you as the very practical Virgo Full Moon reaches peak illumination at 10:53 AM EST. What is illuminated during a Full Moon depends on several things. First, consider what sign the Moon is in and what house holds it in your horoscope. This full Moon is in the industrious, analytical sign of Virgo. Where has your focus been over the past two weeks regarding issues of effort, work, and dedication? The results of your efforts should be clear now, showing you those areas that need adjustment and/or attention. The trine aspect from the Moon to Mars in consistent reliable Taurus suggests the availability of steadfast energy to push those efforts forward. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for efforts well done and take the extra step of forming a plan for analysis and improvement moving forward.
With a lovely sextile aspect from Mercury to Saturn before bedtime, your mind leaves all vestiges of restlessness and confusion behind and heads toward sleep on solid ground.

BRING PRACTICAL EFFORT TO ELUSIVE ENDEAVORS
Wednesday, February 20, 2019:
The passive sensitivity that the Pisces Sun highlights over the coming weeks is focalized as the Moon speaks with Neptune at 10:23 AM EST. Allow yourself to flow between a variety of emotional states as the perfectionistic Virgo Moon engages in conversations with nearly all the planets throughout the day.
With the Moon in Virgo, you may notice yourself drawn to practical activities or to a practical approach to more elusive endeavors. You may find yourself organizing and analyzing everything you do. It may be difficult for ‘good-enough’ to be good enough. Don’t allow a perceived need for perfection to stop your progress toward bringing your dreams to reality. Work on projects and tasks that will benefit from paying particular attention to details. You may seriously want to do the simple tasks of daily life, wash and fold the laundry, dust your bookshelves, clean out a junk drawer. While you are at it read Maria Kondo’s book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK
Thursday, February 21, 2019:
Following several days of analysis and working on the details of your life and any projects you are engaged with, you are now ready to turn your attention to good friends, partners, and socialization. The Moon enters diplomatic, relationship-oriented Libra at 9:18 AM EST. As the Moon gently flows through this charming, pleasant sign keep in mind that Libra is an Air sign which is fundamentally intellectual. What you seek are intellectual companions, friends, and social interactions. Enjoy cultural activities, go to a museum, a concert, or a small gathering with folks that stimulate your mind. It may be challenging to feel confident in your own opinions, take a stand, be decisive, or speak. Let yourself off the hook. Enjoy listening to others and let yourself see and understand every side of an issue. There is always another day to make a decision, take action, or speak up.

PLANT A SEED TO DEEPEN LOVE
Friday, February 22, 2019:
As the weekend approaches you may be asked to consider exactly how much of your most unusual beliefs and spiritual understanding to share with others. Make sure you are talking with folks who are on a similar path of understanding before sharing too much with too much innocent enthusiasm. You could find yourself saying more than the person you are engaging with can accept or even understand.
With the Moon in Libra, you long for social niceties, beauty, and balance in your environment. You may hope to create an evening of lovely romance, however, there is likely to be more intensity in the connection than you may anticipate. This is about far more than sweetness and beauty. At 10:52 PM EST Venus conjunct Pluto begins a cycle of great depth, intensification of Love, and the development of an empowered partnership. Spend the upcoming weekend developing a firm, solid, lasting, profound connection with someone you love. If you are alone or without a truly significant partnership, spend the weekend understanding and developing your personal deep values.
FIND A NEW FRAME FOR AN OLD STORY
Saturday, February 23, 2019:
Consider the story you are telling or the picture you are painting; how does that story support the new cycle of love that is beginning? Listen to how you have been telling an old story, change your perspective and tell it from your new outlook. You may be surprised to learn how that simple act will change your path forward. The stories you tell now have the power to magnify your connection to love and increase your understanding of your most significant personal values.
At 10:57 AM EST the Moon enters the deep waters of Scorpio bringing your attention to powerful buried emotions. You may find yourself willing to take a personal risk by allowing a trusted friend or partner to touch you more acutely than usual. This is a time to get serious with a loved one or spend time alone. Trying to connect on a surface level will leave you both dissatisfied and resentful.

EMPOWERMENT AND HEALING
Sunday, February 24, 2019:
With the Moon passing through Scorpio, you are naturally inclined to examine the profound, somewhat frightening side of life and love. You know that in order to grow, at times you must allow devastation to leave the ground bare for new growth. Think about how whole forests are burned to make space for the new forest to grow refreshed.
Scorpio focuses attention on the hidden emotions that most folks prefer to avoid. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are able to feel more deeply and observe our hidden emotional motivations with clarity.
Under this Moon, you may be able to get to a deep understanding of an issue that has dogged you for years. Digging into concealed nooks and crannies of your mind and facing profound and difficult hidden truths has the power to transform your life. Do your best to uncover what is calling for empowerment and healing.
“For all its complexity, however, astrology remains fundamentally simple. It offers a time-honored system of symbols that sum up key aspects of human life while providing profound insights and practical guidance.” ~Anne M. Nordhaus-Bike

* In these weekly reports, I am exploring the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and are often fleeting moods. I will consider the final major aspect formed by the Moon prior to its VOC* time, as that aspect holds its influence throughout the VOC*.
The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions.
The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
