Details! It's all about details when the moon is in Virgo. Focus and get it done, especially in your professional life. Pay attention to the everyday things. Organize, plan and execute.

Then work on your projects, as the Moon's Virgo transit is going to give you the clarity of thought you're after.

We take our relationships a lot more seriously when loving Venus moves into committed Capricorn. This transit challenges us to put in the effort needed to get the love and affection we truly desire. For those who are coupled, this is their chance to work through problems or have deep conversations about what they envision for the future. And what about those looking for love? This is their opportunity to ditch flighty flirtations in favor of long-lasting love. With Venus in Capricorn, we want our romantic affairs to go the distance.
In addition to its impact on love and relationships, Venus in Capricorn has the same serious effect on all things relating to beauty. This transit may urge us to trade in flashy pieces of clothing and edgy hairdos for a more subdued style. It’s also a great time to get started on any artistic endeavors we’ve been considering. Not only do we have an enhanced ability for building and creating things, but Capricorn also gives Venus the dedication needed to start projects and see them all the way through to the finish line.
Venus in Capricorn has a strong business aspect to it, and it could bring up themes of re-evaluating the worth we bring to our chosen professions. We might ask ourselves if we’re getting the validation we need from our employer, or whether or not we are climbing up the ladder of success the way we had hoped. There is incredible potential for reconnecting with our own inner authority and owning up to whatever it is we need to do to take our career to the next level.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and stability. So when Mars moves into this sign, forget about getting caught up in pipedreams or impulsive behavior. We’ll be looking at life through a more realistic and level-headed lens at this time. Mars in Capricorn wants us to survey what’s in front of us, plan our next move, and get down to business so we turn ideas into realities.
There’s another upside to the pragmatic energy created by Mars in Capricorn. This transit wants us to not only question why we’re doing what we’re doing, but how we’re doing it. Mars wants to act, and Capricorn wants to make sure we do it with purpose. This transit, then, is a time to set clearer goals and re-evaluate our previous goals so we can do them in a better, more efficient way.
Neither Mars nor Capricorn is afraid of hard work. In fact, both need to push against obstacles to keep their muscles in shape. Because many of us will feel more on top of things and driven than usual, Mars in Capricorn is a good time to start a new project or get back to finishing something we’ve already started. If we don’t have a serious goal, this transit will encourage us to go out and find one. There is little that cannot be accomplished when we are clear, committed, and stick to our plans.
Unfortunately, neither Mars nor Capricorn is known for sensitivity. This toughness helps us break through barriers while ignoring our own discomfort. However, it can also express itself as blind ambition, the kind that doesn’t see (or care about) the little people we step on as we climb the ladder of success. Compassion, for yourself and others, is a good balance against the possible excesses of Mars in Capricorn.
When the Sun moves into the mentally active and social sign of Aquarius, it’s time to come back out and reconnect with the world. Aquarius is an intellectual sign that embraces originality and freedom, so you’re free to walk to the beat of your own drum under the Aquarius Sun!
But as much as the Water-bearer prizes individuality, this sign is also intently aware of humanity as a whole, and champions the rights of all people. The Sun’s transit through revolutionary Aquarius is an opportunity to step back from our individual identities, and realize that every living thing on Earth is valuable and connected.
Change begins with YOU while the Sun moves through idealistic Aquarius! Consider volunteering. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac, greatly concerned with the lives and situations of others. Help support the greater good by spending time volunteering for a cause that’s important to you. Aquarius stands up for the equality of all, yet still celebrates the differences of each individual. Instead of looking at others as a faceless mass, look at the unique qualities of everyone around you, and realize that each person has something to contribute to the world.
As the most socially-aware sign, Aquarius’ money is well spent on helping out causes that are very important to them. While the Sun’s in Aquarius, put yourself aside and give what you can to a homeless shelter, animal rescue group, climate conservation effort, or any other cause that serves the greatest good.
Our thoughts and ideas become more progressive when Mercury sets up camp in Aquarius. This sign is known for pushing the envelope, so when it pairs up with the planet of mental activity, we’ll want to consider what could be rather than what is. We shouldn’t be surprised if we come up with a few far-fetched and wacky ideas during Mercury in Aquarius.
Aquarius is about remaining neutral and not letting our feelings get in the way of the truth. So when Mercury does his trek through this sign, we’ll have the opportunity to view the things we’re emotionally invested in through a more rational lens. This approach could finally help us see people and situations for what they really are. Expect a few "a-ha" moments courtesy of this dynamic duo!
The one thing to watch out for during Mercury’s time in this sign is hurting or neglecting other people’s feelings. The cerebral nature of Mercury in Aquarius can overpower emotions and rationalize them away, making it difficult to feel. It’s possible that we’ll lose touch with our sensitive sides, so we need to do our best to handle any conversations we have during this time with care.
With the moon in Leo, you're going to want that attention. That's just fine, but don't let that go to your head. Watch that you don't create drama as you do some self-promotion and build your brand. Make it happen while keeping an eye on not overdoing it.
Now is also a good time to reach out and make sure the important people in your life know how you feel. Feelings of insecurity shouldn't lead to conflict, so focus on the good and leave the angst for another time.

The Big Dipper standing on its "handle", imaged 2019 February 16 from Mollusk, Virginia with a Canon EOS Rebel SL2 DSLR. |
The Moon begins the week beaming down from her perch among the stars of Leo, the Lion. She wanes from her full phase to Last Quarter, which occurs on the 23rd at 5:32 pm Eastern Standard Time. As Luna’s phase wanes she dives southward along the ecliptic, passing through the rising constellations of spring.
The Full Moon washes out all but the brightest stars as the week begins. Fortunately, the early evening hours are dominated by the bright stars and constellations of the Great Winter Circle. Orion and his bright, colorful cohorts cross the meridian at 8:00pm. No matter how bright the sky appears, the stars of this region provide a splendid start to an evening’s stargazing. Orion’s distinctive shape and his placement straddling the celestial equator have made him the most recognized constellation we see in the sky. He is visible from every inhabited part of the Earth, and his outline figures prominently in the sky lore of virtually every culture that has turned its collective gaze skyward. To the ancient Egyptians he represented Sahu, the immortal soul of Osiris, god of the Underworld. A wonderful depiction of Sahu, followed by the star Sothis (which we now call Sirius) may be found in the famous “Zodiac of Denderah” that once graced the walls of the temple of the goddess Hathor at that site. The temple is some 2500 years old, but it is based on sky lore that pre-dates the temple by 2000 years, where we find descriptions of Sahu linked with the souls of deceased pharaohs from Egypt’s earliest dynasties.
Orion’s stars shine with an icy blue tint with the exception of Betelgeuse, which marks Orion’s shoulder. A casual glance will show a distinctive reddish tint to Betelgeuse, which we now know indicates a relatively cool surface temperature compared to its cohorts. Betelgeuse is the brightest of a class of stars known as red supergiant stars, which are highly evolved and nearing the end of their lifetimes. Most of the other stars in Orion are blue supergiants, which are comparatively young in their evolution. These stars are highly luminous, shining with the equivalent energy of many thousands of Suns, and for the most part they are thousands of light-years away. Orion’s stars seem to have originated in the Great Orion Nebula, which is one of the largest star-forming regions in our galaxy.
While Orion dominates the early evening hours, another familiar star pattern begins to become prominent in the northeastern part of the sky. The asterism that we call the “Big Dipper” seems to stand on its “handle” as the night progresses, and when I see it I’m assured that spring is not too far in the future. Although it doesn’t sport the blazing stars of Orion, the seven stars that make up the Dipper asterism still form a shape that is instantly recognized by residents of the Northern Hemisphere. Like Orion, the Dipper is associated with the sky lore of many ancient peoples. It was a central focus of many Native American cultures which used its annual excursions around the north celestial pole as a calendar to time their agricultural activities. In the Greco-Roman skylore that forms the basis of our constellations the Dipper formed part of the larger constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. Interestingly, it also represented a bear to some indigenous North American cultures.
This will most likely be the last week that we will see Jupiter in the evening sky until late June. The giant planet now wallows in twilight and sets within an hour of sunset as the week begins. By next week Old Jove sets a bit more than half an hour after the Sun.
Venus is now very prominent in the pre-dawn sky, rising in the southeast at around 4:30 am. By 6:00 she is well above the tree line and can be easily picked out in the gathering twilight.
Mars accompanies Venus in the morning twilight, but he is pale by comparison to his dazzling neighbor. You will probably need binoculars if you try to find him in the brightening twilight, but he shouldn’t be too hard to see just south of his blazing companion.
With the moon in Leo, you're going to want that attention. That's just fine, but don't let that go to your head. Watch that you don't create drama as you do some self-promotion and build your brand. Make it happen while keeping an eye on not overdoing it.
Now is also a good time to reach out and make sure the important people in your life know how you feel. Feelings of insecurity shouldn't lead to conflict, so focus on the good and leave the angst for another time.

#Mercury #Aquarius #Capricorn
The moon in cancer is your healing time. While your emotions are in focus, reach out to friends and family and remind them that they're important. Quality time is good, but be careful to maintain your independence and not become too reliant on others during this kick-back-and-chill time.
Be a home body for a while during the Cancer Moon, and spend some time with yourself.
Capricorn is the businessman of the zodiac, with its sights set on efficiency and success. While Mercury spends time here, we are inspired to think and act in ways that will help us reach our goals. Capricorn’s influence clears up our thoughts, helping us hone in on the most important and fruitful ideas. We’re also able to be more direct in our communication during this transit, cutting down on misunderstandings and wasted time.
One of the biggest benefits during Mercury in Capricorn is the building of ideas. The many thoughts that run through our minds are easier to organize, and we can see them like puzzle pieces, arranging them until they fit together in the way that makes the most sense. Once we can see our ideas as a solid form, we are able to take action and turn them into reality.
While we tend to be straightforward during this transit, we must beware of the tone we take when interacting with others. Capricorn is acutely aware of hierarchies, which means that conversation may become more controlling than constructive. We all think our ideas are the best ideas during Mercury in Capricorn, but if we spend too much time worrying about who’s in charge, we won’t end up getting much done.

We all think our ideas are the best ideas during Mercury in Capricorn, but if we spend too much time worrying about who’s in charge, we won’t end up getting much done.
We take our relationships a lot more seriously when loving Venus moves into committed Capricorn. This transit challenges us to put in the effort needed to get the love and affection we truly desire. For those who are coupled, this is their chance to work through problems or have deep conversations about what they envision for the future. And what about those looking for love? This is their opportunity to ditch flighty flirtations in favor of long-lasting love. With Venus in Capricorn, we want our romantic affairs to go the distance.
In addition to its impact on love and relationships, Venus in Capricorn has the same serious effect on all things relating to beauty. This transit may urge us to trade in flashy pieces of clothing and edgy hairdos for a more subdued style. It’s also a great time to get started on any artistic endeavors we’ve been considering. Not only do we have an enhanced ability for building and creating things, but Capricorn also gives Venus the dedication needed to start projects and see them all the way through to the finish line.
Venus in Capricorn has a strong business aspect to it, and it could bring up themes of re-evaluating the worth we bring to our chosen professions. We might ask ourselves if we’re getting the validation we need from our employer, or whether or not we are climbing up the ladder of success the way we had hoped. There is incredible potential for reconnecting with our own inner authority and owning up to whatever it is we need to do to take our career to the next level.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and stability. So when Mars moves into this sign, forget about getting caught up in pipedreams or impulsive behavior. We’ll be looking at life through a more realistic and level-headed lens at this time. Mars in Capricorn wants us to survey what’s in front of us, plan our next move, and get down to business so we turn ideas into realities.
There’s another upside to the pragmatic energy created by Mars in Capricorn. This transit wants us to not only question why we’re doing what we’re doing, but how we’re doing it. Mars wants to act, and Capricorn wants to make sure we do it with purpose. This transit, then, is a time to set clearer goals and re-evaluate our previous goals so we can do them in a better, more efficient way.
Neither Mars nor Capricorn is afraid of hard work. In fact, both need to push against obstacles to keep their muscles in shape. Because many of us will feel more on top of things and driven than usual, Mars in Capricorn is a good time to start a new project or get back to finishing something we’ve already started. If we don’t have a serious goal, this transit will encourage us to go out and find one. There is little that cannot be accomplished when we are clear, committed, and stick to our plans.
Unfortunately, neither Mars nor Capricorn is known for sensitivity. This toughness helps us break through barriers while ignoring our own discomfort. However, it can also express itself as blind ambition, the kind that doesn’t see (or care about) the little people we step on as we climb the ladder of success. Compassion, for yourself and others, is a good balance against the possible excesses of Mars in Capricorn.
When the Sun moves into the mentally active and social sign of Aquarius, it’s time to come back out and reconnect with the world. Aquarius is an intellectual sign that embraces originality and freedom, so you’re free to walk to the beat of your own drum under the Aquarius Sun!
But as much as the Water-bearer prizes individuality, this sign is also intently aware of humanity as a whole, and champions the rights of all people. The Sun’s transit through revolutionary Aquarius is an opportunity to step back from our individual identities, and realize that every living thing on Earth is valuable and connected.
Change begins with YOU while the Sun moves through idealistic Aquarius! Consider volunteering. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac, greatly concerned with the lives and situations of others. Help support the greater good by spending time volunteering for a cause that’s important to you. Aquarius stands up for the equality of all, yet still celebrates the differences of each individual. Instead of looking at others as a faceless mass, look at the unique qualities of everyone around you, and realize that each person has something to contribute to the world.
As the most socially-aware sign, Aquarius’ money is well spent on helping out causes that are very important to them. While the Sun’s in Aquarius, put yourself aside and give what you can to a homeless shelter, animal rescue group, climate conservation effort, or any other cause that serves the greatest good.
The moon in Gemini is your time to get social. Reach out and communicate, and remember that listening is always better than speaking. Negotiate now if you've got that on your plate. Do your research, pick up that book, and watch that documentary.
Why? Because Gemini moon means that you are also easily distracted, so something upon which to focus is a good idea, and some good progress can come of it.
Capricorn is the businessman of the zodiac, with its sights set on efficiency and success. While Mercury spends time here, we are inspired to think and act in ways that will help us reach our goals. Capricorn’s influence clears up our thoughts, helping us hone in on the most important and fruitful ideas. We’re also able to be more direct in our communication during this transit, cutting down on misunderstandings and wasted time.
One of the biggest benefits during Mercury in Capricorn is the building of ideas. The many thoughts that run through our minds are easier to organize, and we can see them like puzzle pieces, arranging them until they fit together in the way that makes the most sense. Once we can see our ideas as a solid form, we are able to take action and turn them into reality.

Keep things in focus while the moon is in Taurus. Take advantage of the peace and chill. Your level-headed point of view will let you consider finances, relationships and longer-term projects with clarity. But don't get pig-headed! Pay attention to your outlook and don't get stubborn or lazy! Create some art or make a bold style move. During the Taurus moon, it's a great time to reach for that special thing you desire.
You might be feeling the need for comfort and security, but avoid being stubborn about it. Don't bite off more than you can chew, and know your limits.

The Moon, imaged 2021 April 20, 01:31 UT from Alexandria, Virginia with an Explore Scientific AR102 10.2-cm (4-inch) f/6.5 refractor, Antares 1.6X Barlow lens, and a ZWO ASI224MC CCD imager. |
The Moon waxes as she arcs through the stars of the Great Winter Circle this week. Full Moon occurs on the 16th at 11:56 am Eastern Standard Time. February’s Full Moon is popularly known as the Snow Moon, since February is typically the snowiest month of boreal winters. Abundant snow and cold temperatures also impact provisions stored for the season, so another name is the Hunger Moon. On the evening of the 9th you will find the Moon between the ruddy star Aldebaran and the Pleiades star cluster; on the 13th she passes close to Pollux, the brighter star of the Gemini twins.
Although February is the year’s shortest month, it is the one when most of us really begin to notice the increasing length of daylight. This week the length of day is one hour longer than it was back on the winter solstice, and we tack on nearly another hour by the month’s end. On average each day is about two and a half minutes longer than its predecessor, and this rate will be maintained through the upcoming equinox in March. If you enjoy early evening stargazing, take advantage of the next few weeks. The switch to Daylight Time will happen on March 13.
This is a great week to take long, leisurely looks at our only natural satellite, the Moon. I often say the Luna is “looked over, then overlooked” by neophyte astronomers. It is often the first target that new telescope owners look at, but often that first look is rarely followed up. The Moon’s surface is frozen in geological time; it has hardly changed over the course of the last billion years. However, these features offer a testament to the violent beginnings of the solar system itself. The large, seemingly flat features dubbed “seas” by early telescopic observers are the remnants of colossal collisions with planet-sized objects that abounded in the formative days of our planetary system. These collisions allowed molten rock from the proto-Moon’s interior to flood large areas of its surface. The brighter “highland” terrain provides a record of the ferocity of this early bombardment as countless smaller “planetessimals” pockmarked the surface shoulder-to-shoulder. As the terminator line slowly moves across the Moon’s face these features are gradually revealed, and it is always interesting to examine them as the lighting conditions change. What I enjoy in my evenings with the Moon is the sheer number of these ancient scars of violent formation, and the uniqueness of each one.
As the Moon brightens, though, she washes out the fainter stars of the night sky. Fortunately, about one third of the brightest stars in the night occupy this part of the sky, so the Moon won’t be the only thing to attract your attention. As much as I enjoy looking at the Moon through my smaller telescope, sweeping past all of the bright stars of the Great Winter Circle is also a rewarding experience. Starting with the bright stars of Orion, then moving around the circle counter-clockwise, each star shines like a brilliant gemstone. Betelgeuse and Aldebaran remind me of garnets, Capella is a blazing point of amber, while Rigel and Sirius are dazzling sapphires.
Jupiter can still be seen shortly after sunset in the southwest, but he beats a hasty retreat before the end of evening twilight, setting at around 7:00 pm. He will disappear by the end of the month, passing behind the Sun in early March.
Venus has seemingly vaulted into the morning sky. After the recent string of cloudy days I was surprised by her glowing presence in the southeast when I arose at 6:00 am. She will linger in this area of the sky for the next few weeks, drifting eastward against the dim autumnal constellations.
You will find ruddy Mars several degrees below Venus’ bright glow. The two planets will move in tandem for the rest of the week, gradually edging closer together. They will remain a “duo” through most of March.
Keep things in focus while the moon is in Taurus. Take advantage of the peace and chill. Your level-headed point of view will let you consider finances, relationships and longer-term projects with clarity. But don't get pig-headed! Pay attention to your outlook and don't get stubborn or lazy! Create some art or make a bold style move. During the Taurus moon, it's a great time to reach for that special thing you desire.

Not only do we have an enhanced ability for building and creating things, but Capricorn also gives Venus the dedication needed to start projects and see them all the way through to the finish line.
Venus in Capricorn has a strong business aspect to it, and it could bring up themes of re-evaluating the worth we bring to our chosen professions. We might ask ourselves if we’re getting the validation we need from our employer, or whether or not we are climbing up the ladder of success the way we had hoped. There is incredible potential for reconnecting with our own inner authority and owning up to whatever it is we need to do to take our career to the next level.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and stability. So when Mars moves into this sign, forget about getting caught up in pipedreams or impulsive behavior. We’ll be looking at life through a more realistic and level-headed lens at this time. Mars in Capricorn wants us to survey what’s in front of us, plan our next move, and get down to business so we turn ideas into realities.
There’s another upside to the pragmatic energy created by Mars in Capricorn. This transit wants us to not only question why we’re doing what we’re doing, but how we’re doing it. Mars wants to act, and Capricorn wants to make sure we do it with purpose. This transit, then, is a time to set clearer goals and re-evaluate our previous goals so we can do them in a better, more efficient way.
Neither Mars nor Capricorn is afraid of hard work. In fact, both need to push against obstacles to keep their muscles in shape. Because many of us will feel more on top of things and driven than usual, Mars in Capricorn is a good time to start a new project or get back to finishing something we’ve already started. If we don’t have a serious goal, this transit will encourage us to go out and find one. There is little that cannot be accomplished when we are clear, committed, and stick to our plans.
Unfortunately, neither Mars nor Capricorn is known for sensitivity. This toughness helps us break through barriers while ignoring our own discomfort. However, it can also express itself as blind ambition, the kind that doesn’t see (or care about) the little people we step on as we climb the ladder of success. Compassion, for yourself and others, is a good balance against the possible excesses of Mars in Capricorn.
When the Sun moves into the mentally active and social sign of Aquarius, it’s time to come back out and reconnect with the world. Aquarius is an intellectual sign that embraces originality and freedom, so you’re free to walk to the beat of your own drum under the Aquarius Sun!
But as much as the Water-bearer prizes individuality, this sign is also intently aware of humanity as a whole, and champions the rights of all people. The Sun’s transit through revolutionary Aquarius is an opportunity to step back from our individual identities, and realize that every living thing on Earth is valuable and connected.
Change begins with YOU while the Sun moves through idealistic Aquarius! Consider volunteering. Aquarius is the humanitarian of the zodiac, greatly concerned with the lives and situations of others. Help support the greater good by spending time volunteering for a cause that’s important to you. Aquarius stands up for the equality of all, yet still celebrates the differences of each individual. Instead of looking at others as a faceless mass, look at the unique qualities of everyone around you, and realize that each person has something to contribute to the world.
As the most socially-aware sign, Aquarius’ money is well spent on helping out causes that are very important to them. While the Sun’s in Aquarius, put yourself aside and give what you can to a homeless shelter, animal rescue group, climate conservation effort, or any other cause that serves the greatest good.
Your passion and energy are on point while the moon is in Aries, so beware of being too self-focused and making rash and impulsive decisions during this time - and watch your temper! Perhaps you should put that energy into some exercise. Get out and move! Now is a good time to start a new project (but not one you can't finish!). But again, keep an eye out for impulsive decisions or picking fights, because remember - everyone else is feeling that impulsiveness as well!
Let that mysterious thing captivate you while the moon is in Aries. Go ahead and give yourself permission to explore, and don't worry about going it alone. Your independence will serve you well.
Capricorn is the businessman of the zodiac, with its sights set on efficiency and success. While Mercury spends time here, we are inspired to think and act in ways that will help us reach our goals. Capricorn’s influence clears up our thoughts, helping us hone in on the most important and fruitful ideas. We’re also able to be more direct in our communication during this transit, cutting down on misunderstandings and wasted time.
One of the biggest benefits during Mercury in Capricorn is the building of ideas. The many thoughts that run through our minds are easier to organize, and we can see them like puzzle pieces, arranging them until they fit together in the way that makes the most sense. Once we can see our ideas as a solid form, we are able to take action and turn them into reality.
While we tend to be straightforward during this transit, we must beware of the tone we take when interacting with others. Capricorn is acutely aware of hierarchies, which means that conversation may become more controlling than constructive. We all think our ideas are the best ideas during Mercury in Capricorn, but if we spend too much time worrying about who’s in charge, we won’t end up getting much done.
We take our relationships a lot more seriously when loving Venus moves into committed Capricorn. This transit challenges us to put in the effort needed to get the love and affection we truly desire. For those who are coupled, this is their chance to work through problems or have deep conversations about what they envision for the future. And what about those looking for love? This is their opportunity to ditch flighty flirtations in favor of long-lasting love. With Venus in Capricorn, we want our romantic affairs to go the distance.

The moon in Pisces means you're going to get distracted by your wildest dreams. Fantasies will fill your head and you'll be soaking in it. Harness that creative energy and don't let it lead you astray. Share your visions but don't let them overwhelm you. You're smarter than that!
Let your intuition be your beacon during this Pisces moon, but watch out for being a little overly sensitive in your decision-making.
