Sun enters Pisces - The Week's Astrology Forecast: February 17 - February 23, 2025
This Week: The Sun Enters Pisces and Mars Moves Forward
This week invites us to navigate deep sensitivities, embrace transitions, and realign our energy. We begin with the Moon shifting from balance-seeking Libra to intense Scorpio, setting a reflective tone. The Sun’s entrance into Pisces on Tuesday softens our focus, pushing toward intuition and compassion.
Thursday brings a potent mix of energies: the last quarter Moon in Sagittarius prompts us to release what is no longer needed, while Mercury’s square to Jupiter challenges us to find clarity amid overconfidence or scattered thoughts. As the weekend approaches, we move from fiery exploration into the grounded responsibility of the Capricorn Moon.
Sunday marks a turning point—Mercury’s trine to Mars ignites decisive action, and Mars stationing direct in Cancer finally begins the release of pent-up frustrations, urging us to consider the forward motion in the coming days. This week is one of transition, urging us to balance reflection with action and to trust the unfolding process.
BALANCE TO DEPTH - Monday, February 17, 2025
The Moon spends most of the day in Libra, drawing our focus toward balance, harmony, and the connections we cultivate with others.

Notice how you engage with issues of fairness; are you giving too much or too little?
At 7:19 pm EST, the Moon enters Scorpio, shifting your emotions from the realm of the mind to the realm of emotional intensity. Scorpio encourages us to explore the deeper, hidden layers of our emotions. This evening may call for quiet reflection, privacy, or deep conversations.

Reflective questions:
How can I restore balance in areas of my life that feel unsettled?
In which relationships do I feel most seen and understood?
What emotions am I being invited to explore more deeply tonight?

SHADOW AND RENEWAL - Wednesday, February 19, 2025
The Scorpio Moon continues its passage today, urging you to venture deeper into your emotional landscape. Scorpio’s waters are not meant to be feared but respected; they cleanse through intensity, leaving you renewed on the other side. You may notice subtle power dynamics in your interactions or feel drawn to uncover things that are hidden. This is a great time to engage in shadow work—acknowledging the parts of yourself you’ve ignored or denied.
By honoring your complexity and facing your inner fears, you can emerge stronger. Scorpio teaches us that true empowerment comes from embracing all aspects of who we are, not just the polished parts. Pay attention to synchronicities and moments of insight—they carry messages that can guide your growth.

TURNING POINT - Thursday, February 20, 2025
At 7:55 am EST, the Moon enters Sagittarius, offering a day of curiosity and optimism. After Scorpio’s deep emotional dive, Sagittarius lightens the atmosphere, inviting exploration, learning, and a renewed sense of possibility. The focus shifts toward truth, new perspectives, and daring to dream big.
At 12:33 pm EST, the Last Quarter Moon arrives in Sagittarius, marking a pivotal point in the lunar cycle. This phase is about release and reflection—letting go of what hasn’t worked since the New Moon and preparing the soil for new intentions. Think about how your beliefs and goals have evolved over the past few weeks. What needs to be left behind for you to move forward now?
At 3:13 pm EST, Mercury squares Jupiter, amplifying thoughts, words, and ideas. Conversations may feel urgent, or you may feel overwhelmed by conflicting opinions or too much information. While this aspect inspires grand visions, it can also lead to over-promising or miscommunication. Stay mindful of details and be cautious of exaggeration. It's a powerful time to explore new ideas, but pace yourself and focus on practical steps forward.
Reflective questions:
What beliefs or habits do I need to release to align with my evolving vision?
How can I balance excitement for new ideas with thoughtful communication?
What cycles in my life are coming to a close, and how can I honor their lessons?
EXPANDING HORIZONS - Friday, February 21, 2025
The Moon continues its journey through Sagittarius today, filling the day with a sense of adventure and openness. This encourages you to break out of your routine and look for new experiences, through travel, learning, or meaningful conversations. Sagittarius thrives on broadening horizons, so ask yourself where your curiosity is pulling you. This is an excellent day to reflect on your philosophy and how it shapes your life.
While optimism is high, be mindful not to rush or overlook important details in your excitement to move forward. Sagittarius teaches that growth often comes through risk, but balance your boldness with thoughtful consideration. Seek inspiration but remember: real expansion begins within.
Reflective questions:
Where in my life am I ready to take a bold step forward?
What beliefs continue to inspire and guide me?
How can I honor my need for both adventure and grounding today?
