WeekAhead Astrology 2/23 - 3/01
Week Ahead Astrology
This week invites us to get our mind and life in order. The skies are inviting us to reflect on our choices and decisions. Take time to review things carefully and notice what areas of your life need improvement, adjustment and change.
During the first part of the week, we have First Quarter Moon phase. It is a waxing phase during which the Moon appears in the sky like a half-Moon. The Moon has been increasing in Light, we have been becoming more aware and conscious about our lives. Something is being illuminated. The seeds planted during the New Moon phase are now beginning to sprout and we are faced with consequences, choices and actions to take. Notice what you are now aware of in your life that needs tweaking. Notice new beginnings you are inclined to take and endings you are inspired to make. The First Quarter Moon in astrology represents a critical turning point that creates internal or external pressure for change. It is a moment to pause and reflect on the choices to be made. It is time to reflect on important decisions and actions. A change in perspective or strategy may be needed.
In the middle of the week, we enter our first Mercury Retrograde period of the year. Mercury will go retrograde in the sign of Pisces. Activating the sign from which Neptune and Saturn just left. If you had not learned a spiritual lesson brought in by the Neptune in Pisces period (April 4, 2011, to January 26, 2026) or the Saturn in Pisces period (March 7, 2023, to May 24, 2025, and then again from August 31, 2025, to February 13, 2026), then this Mercury Retrograde will help you close lose ends and end chapters once and for all.
When Mercury is retrograde, we have an opportunity to review the path and choices we have taken up to this point in some area of our lives or in our entire life. We can pause and pay attention to the outcomes and consequences of our choices. Reflect. Review. Redo. Choose a different path, or make adjustments or corrections to the current path.
Mercury in Pisces is detriment, which means that Mercury is not comfortable in Pisces. Our minds may feel confused, fuzzy, restless, worried, anxious or loss. But Mercury in not alone in the sky. Mercury in Pisces is hanging out with the North Node of Fate, Venus and the Sun. Clarity is coming in through the heart. The Soul is asking us to slow down and attend to the heart. Receive clarity when you connect to the Sun. Take a walk. Spend time in nature. Or simply stop and take a breather. In many ways, Mercury in Pisces is like a closet or the back of your car. It’s the place where you throw things for later. It’s the place where you store mental, emotional, physical and spiritual things and energies, it’s the place where you say “When I have time, I’ll deal with it.” Now its time to deal with it. Now is time to clean the closet and the back of your car. Clean up inside of you and all around you. Mercury in Pisces invites us to notice how and why avoid or escape reality. Mercury in Pisces makes us aware of our vulnerability and emotional sensitivity so we may face our feelings and emotions. So we may clean up our hearts and minds. So we may have a clean slate. Somewhere in your life God is giving you an opportunity for a clean slate. It’s up to you to take it.
As Mercury goes retrograde, meditate on the closet inside of you. Clean it up. Notice the closets in your own life. Clean those up too. This is a powerful time to get our lives in order. To stop wishing for someone or something to come save you or imagine a better future without you doing anything about it. We make the miracles happen when we take the opportunities the Divine places in our path. We are the heroes of our lives when we choose to take the actions and make the decisions we know we must make. Life is built by our daily choices. Every thought, word and deed is a building block in your hands. Be aware of what you are building. Be conscious and awake to your choices, decisions and actions. This Mercury Retrograde period begins this week and will last until early April 2026, we have time to do the internal work need to get ourselves and our lives back on track. Time to clean up and build yourself a new, improved life. It’s time.
