Weekly Astrology Forecast: February 15 - February 21, 2021
/Happy First Quarter Moon Week! How are you doing?
As a collective, we are moving into an action-packed week as Saturn takes on its first square (out of three) with Uranus this year, Venus square Mars, and the end of 2021’s first of three air-dominant Mercury retrogrades.
With three intense squares forming this week (including the Last Quarter Moon between the Sun in Pisces and Moon in Gemini), you can expect high energy and challenging moments ahead.
****Squares = tension points that require integration. A problem must be addressed or solved. An area or trigger point that has high potential. Once this stressor point is acknowledged, great success can be achieved.
The first square this week is a fixed square between Saturn, the planet of discipline and responsibility, and Uranus, the planet of innovation in Aquarius and Taurus.
When Saturn squares Uranus (02/17), it is hard to make changes and see results. A desire for spontaneity and liberation don’t align with your responsibilities and commitments (expectations or standards), and you could feel blocked in — which left unexpressed leads to outbursts, meltdowns, and built-up resentment.
With Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus, this theme may be playing out with you wanting more influence, freedom, and intellectual independence. However, fundamental needs and unexpected expenses could discourage you from your plans.
You may need to scale back or embrace where you are escaping responsibility/scattering your energy.
However, for some, squares represent initiation, so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone decided to unexpectedly quit a habit or walk away from their niche/job/community responsibility to focus on one’s need. You may be leaving an industry, discipline, or routine behavior altogether.
With this being the first square of three, watch this energy! This is the starting point for where you will be by year-end. (So if you don’t leave or make changes now, watch out for the other two squares in June and December).
This energy says, “you must patiently work for what you want because it’s worth it!!”
Venus square Mars on 02/19 brings friction to your relationships and actions, both romantic and platonic.
In simplest terms, this square between Venus and Mars can be experienced as the stubbornness of wills.
You may be battling with someone or yourself about the way you want to receive affection and attention.
The theme of this square depends on the house placement.
For example, if this is happening in your 6th and 9th house, you could be experiencing issues with your co-workers or managing multiple details.
Someone may have made a mistake on your schedule, and it affects your plans and daily routines. You may have to take more responsibility for other members of the group.
However, the Venus and Mars square could also push you into action and standing up for yourself.
This may be a period where you are more rooted and assertive when declaring your needs.
For some, this week means releasing the societal pressures of beauty and vanity and staying true to self.
Stop holding your tongue.
The Sun’s entrance into Pisces on 02/18 marks the end of a season and astrological year.
With Pisces naturally being a time of endings, loss, reflection, isolation, and intuition, get familiar with being still.
With Mercury retrograde wrapping up two days after Pisces season begins (02/20) and the First Quarter Moon in Gemini conjuring up limitless thoughts, the next couple of weeks are mentally intense!
Instead of pushing go on all the bright ideas you’ve collected in the past three to six weeks, sit with them.
You’ll feel the push to press GO when Mars joins the North Node in Gemini on March 3.
Use this week to find your center (because you will feel tired) and stay there.
It’s best to keep distractions to a minimum and give yourself space to process your thoughts.
Avoid those who irritate you or give you a headache.
Check-in with your peace tribe, or keep it to yourself.
Mental health is crucial this week.

Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air Signs! This week’s energies remind you letting go is never an easy process, even when the choice to move on is your own. However, despite your inner turmoil and animosity, you will find healthy ways to lean into your transition and build excitement for your new path (even if you don't quite know what that is yet). Because this week's aspects trigger your houses of self-expression and creativity, you could be struggling with a feeling of imposter syndrome or extreme self-doubt. Financial woes, familial responsibilities, and shared resources/debt could be weighing you down. To cope with this, I encourage you to write down a list of everything you are letting go of and everything you wish to invite in. Instead of worrying about what is next, start creating it. Look your fear in the eye and know that you are stronger -- know you will be fine. But more than anything, do not question your decision this week, air sign. You made the right choice. Just know that whatever you need this week is available to you, but you have to ask. Stay rooted in prayer, meditation, and quiet time outdoors. Cover your crown and protect your energy. Watch your negative thoughts. You also have to stop self-sabotaging and changing your mind. Stick to your gut this week and see what happens. Embrace the transformation this week brings. Trust your path.
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth Signs! This week's energies remind you that knowledge is power, and it's time you start capitalizing on yours. Whether you're a student, full-time employee, creative, or business owner, this week encourages you to monetize your intellectual and creative investments. With this week's squares triggering your workhouses, professional matters are on your mind, especially those looking to retire or switch careers. For some, you may need to be more visible with your branding, expertise, and personal passions. The world (or your niche) needs to know who you are. Outside of work, when was the last time you talked on the phone with a friend or invited them over for a cup of tea or COVID friendly dinner? You need socialization, earth sign! Because believe it or not, your lack of intimacy and emotional connection outside your home and work environment is affecting you. So listen to your needs. What are some ways to connect with others and stay grounded in your routine? Who do you need to check in with? Who do you wish would check in on you? Let your tribe know your feeling lonely. It doesn't take away from your independence, I promise.

Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire signs! This week’s energies remind you that vulnerability is an important step in your growth process, so don't hide from how you truly feel. With intense energies building in your socialization and security houses, your thoughts could be racing from one wild idea to the next. For some, this energy encourages you to reconnect to your sense of comfort, home, and emotional stability. What brings you peace? Depending on your placements, you may need to express your fears or concerns with a friend, mentor, parent, or partner. There may be a project or expense that is troubling you. Do not be afraid to ask for help. For others, you may be a sounding board for your peers this week, inspiring them through your perseverance and unwavering strength. However, a subconscious need to protect your situation from others could be holding you back. You may be repressing so much emotion that if someone even looks at you the wrong way, you may snap. So instead of being the relentless leader, show the world your soft side. Let them know that behind the jokes, passion, and fierceness is a sensual soul who too wants to feel nurtured, protected, and loved. Lean on somebody this week, fire sign. You are not invincible.

Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water Signs! This week’s energy calls you to prepare, restore, and refresh as the Sun awaits its grand entrance into your element. At the beginning of the week, you may feel a strong desire to get something done, but listen to your gut when it tells you not to push. Instead of pushing yourself, dance, sing, laugh, create -- do anything that inspires joy instead of productivity and worry (this isn’t your time for that). As the week wanes on, you’ll feel the call to action, and I encourage you to go with the flow. Let spirit guide you. Your intuition and body will know what you need to do. For some, Mercury’s direct station brings back an old project that inspires new life, or it brings clarity about a project that was stalled. Instead of worrying about the outcome, explore what it feels like to create just because. Ask yourself, what would happen if I took the pressure off? What would happen if I just surrendered and let my creativity take hold? On another note, this is a week where you are drawn to the element of water. It will do you some good to take extra long showers or find some fresh, moving water. This is also an excellent week to spoil yourself with yoga, stretching, and bodywork practices. Invest in a deep tissue massage or oil yourself down every night before bed. Do what you need to do to water yourself, your creativity, and your skin. Take extra care because more attention will be coming your way soon.
