Loose lips sink ships. Mercury is on center stage today and problems with communications and misunderstandings will be common.

A grouchy Moon-Saturn square at 10:20 am PST puts a cynical tone into the Skywatch Friday morning.

Mercury makes a square, a challenging aspect, to opinionated and dogmatic Jupiter at 12:40 pm suggesting a good hour to keep your criticisms to yourself.

The kiss of the day follows at 4:56 pm when the Moon sextiles Jupiter. Money and love may be in short supply Friday evening as the Moon squares Venus and Pluto at 6:51 pm.

Venus conjuncts Pluto in the heavens at 7:49 pm Friday night. Pluto either heals or destroys—the choice is yours this evening as the stars impel, but don’t compel.

As times change.

Wide open. Green lights are up today.

The Moon enters agreeable Libra at 6:17 am PST and sails out into calm waters for the rest of the day and night. This is a very good day to network and join forces with others.

Libra is ruled by lovely Venus, so this is also a good day for a haircut, beauty treatments, and buying art.

And for social plans and introductions—reach out tonight.  

As times change.

Step lightly. We have a mixed bag of aspects in the Skywatch today.

The Moon opposes dreamy Neptune at 7:23 am PST which adds a touch of confusion to early calls and decisions. Helpful is that the Moon then trines practical Saturn at 9:32 am suggesting a good time to take care of business.

The Moon then opposes Mercury at 11:11 am which is likely to bring a challenge to your thinking and ideas. The kiss of the days shows up next as the Moon trines sweet Venus at 1:45 pm opening hearts and minds to compromise and agreement. Luna then squares Jupiter at 3:41 pm suggesting that others might have a different point of view.

A healing trine between the Moon and powerful Pluto follows a 5:51 pm. Luna then turns Void of Course until tomorrow morning.

As times change.

Stop and go.

The Moon trines friendly Uranus at 5:51 am PST this morning and then turns Void of Course until she enters Virgo at 6:47 am.

A high energy Full Moon follows at 7:54 am. This Full Moon is a Supermoon which means the Moon is as close to the earth as she gets and that the Moon will be a bigger sight in the night sky than usual.

Green lights are up with this Lunation as the Moon trines Uranus and then Mars at 12:31 pm increasing our energy and drive today. There’s more good news in the Skywatch today as Mercury sextiles Saturn at 6:39 pm.

This marker makes Tuesday an excellent day to interview for a new job and to meet new folks who can help you in work and play. Evening hours are quiet.

As times change.

Weird.

A conservative Venus-Saturn conjunction at 2:52 am PST early this morning throws a practical and realistic vibe to early calls and business on Monday.

The mood lifts as the kiss of the day shows up at 4:00 pm when the Moon trines lucky Jupiter.

Contradicting the serious side of Saturn, Mercury meets idealistic Neptune in the heavens at 10:37 pm Monday night. This pair can create confusion and misunderstandings, especially with a Full Moon hanging out in the heavens tonight—you’ll hear sirens in the city.  

As times change.

There’s a lot of static in the air Sunday morning—caution lights are up. The Moon squares jumpy Uranus at 6:17 am PST and then turns Void of Course until she enters Leo at 7:21 am. Luna squares angry and impatient Mars at 10:57 am opening the door to accidents and arguments Sunday morning. A clearing trend immediately follows this square and green lights come on as the next event in the heavens is the Sun making an upbeat sextile to friendly Uranus at 11:54 pm.  As times change.

If your birthday is this week (February 17–23)

You could get caught up in a fabulous dream that has no chance of becoming a reality, late Aquarius and early Pisces birth signs. That’s due to trickster Mercury sitting next to space captain Neptune in your New Solar Return. This pair fires up your imagination and your creative juices but tends to encourage unrealistic ideas and plans that can lead you into bad business deals and lousy investments. Suggest you get a good consultant to look over any important financial moves you make in the months ahead. Venus is in conservative Capricorn and sits next to Saturn and Pluto in this chart of your new year. Saturn will test your personal relationships and Pluto’s power will either bring a healing to important partnerships or their ending. Finances will be in the same boat: tests and either an increase or a loss of income. Important choices are ahead of you this year.   As times change.
