Jupiter Moving Direct in Cancer

Jupiter is direct again in Cancer, as of the 10th. Picking up the slack from August and overcoming the stumbling blocks and delays of November. Moving steadily forward until July. Closing the gaps and exposing false sympathies in situations close to home and in those more impartial. And some of these are deepening and strengthening until the planet grips Leo in July - revealing or highlighting what presently can’t be seen.

Full Moon in Virgo ... integrity & diplomacy compromised

The full moon in Virgo today (3rd) opposes Sun/Pisces as Mars grips Pisces and argues with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Aries. While Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces and trines Jupiter/Cancer retrograde. ... 

This full Moon is overwhelmed by Pisces influence.

The lines between integrity and diplomacy are smudged in some situations and compromised in others. Requiring points of fact to be considered independently, or risk being submerged or buried under collectives and lost in time. Venus heads the line-up in Pisces and may divert the focus or smooth the atmosphere - depending on circumstances. Mostly, there is an ‘undisclosed’ vibe in situations where transparency is key.

Mercury/Pisces Retrograde ... in year of the fire horse.

 

Mercury prepares to retrograde in Pisces tomorrow (25th) …  Fogs, mists and anything in between….. until the 20th March when the planet is direct again … absences,, disappearances, lapses, dissolution of things not solid or stable. Reversals, retractions, redactions and the piercing of illusions … as the little planet backs up Saturn on its final entrance into Aries, with Pisces ruler Neptune joining it on March 1st….  If it isn’t nailed down it drifts or tilts, or disintegrates.

Many subjects/circumstances are awaiting authentication from Venus on March 7th  … picking up momentum after the second week of April, in this Chinese year of the fire horse … pace and direction are the keynotes until May.

Grounding, Instigation & Containment Moon/Aquarius over Mars & Sun. Saturn-Neptune

The Moon moves to Mars Aquarius today (16th) and joins the Sun on Tuesday. Saturn has re-entered Aries to join Neptune, both idling in preparation for reprising the legendary conjunction at its inception of last May. It gears up to close - by early March - on situations which defy necessity, deals needing sealing, and issues begging for containment. The Moon today instigates new ways of management and direction.  Indicating splintering in toxic grouping. Separation from outworn alliance. Rending of agreements that promise a lot and offer little. Before March makes restructuring and reclamation an impossibility.

Mercury retrogrades in Pisces on the 25th February until the 20th March. After collaborating with Venus to find the easiest options and smoothest ways forward ... may be hard to spot, but worth the investigation.

ASTROLOGY IN BRIEF

Mercury enters Pisces today, followed by Venus on Tuesday. Saturn leaves the sign next Friday to join Neptune for the sealing of the conjunction in Aries. It may be difficult for now to take forward the stronger measures planned for some time, as much obfuscation and fudging and evasion muddies the water. And the dive Mercury takes when retrograding on the 20th of this month can look like a disappearance of past detail or historic data, but what emerges as the planet is direct again in late March indicates deeper dredging from obscurity, and might surprise, or even shock.

FULL MOON IN LEO ... opposing 5 planets in Aquarius

The Full Moon in Leo today (snow moon) opposes - over the next 24 hours - all transiting planets in Aquarius .. Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto. Very much it is the heart versus the head for some situations. It brings a full stop, as a lot of full moons do, to many issues where awkward or distant communications have caused prevarication and delay.The opposition is in fixed signs: air and fire. So displays and rhetoric of the impassioned and fanciful kind tend to be brought down to basic facts and sensible terms. Or they dissipate into nothing and are consigned to the past. Neptune has re-entered Aries and waits for Saturn to conjoin, by the middle of this month, to close and finalise on opportunities, propositions and clauses instigated last May/June. This full moon urges braver or more graphic action in some situations where other approaches have failed.
