The Cosmic Tea: February 10-16
Y’all it’s about to get bananas up in here. There’s cosmic chaos early in the week leading up to the full moon. It has the potential to be revolutionary and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m ready to march with the way current events are playing out. Mercury will sweep us off our feet this Valentine’s Day when it moves into Pisces, but afterward we may find ourselves lost in the sauce. There wasn’t much else happening this weekend, so I tracked the transits of the moon in case anyone wants planetary assistance with planning their weekend.

Mid-day, at 1:27 P.M. CST, Mercury will form a tense relationship with Uranus. This feels like disruptive news for the collective, which feels like an everyday thing, I’m sure. We are oft exposed to a fire hose of disruptive information due to advancements in technology, which we can thank Uranus for. But because Uranus will be making this same formation with the full moon mid-week, this feels noteworthy. Like a linguist, Mercury interprets whatever planet it touches. And because it’s forming a square (which is a more challenging aspect) with the planet that rules disruption, the news isn’t looking great. The thing about squares though, is that they spring us into action, which is when reinvention is possible. Buckle up, because the two luminaries are about to make squares with Uranus, after today.

Post lunchtime, at 1:29 P.M., the Sun will square Uranus. This will prompt a sense of restlessness and a desire to be free of restriction. The sun in Aquarius has already shown us what systems aren’t working for us so when it goes up against Aquarius’ modern ruler in a square, we can expect upheaval of sorts. Uranus is in Taurus so I imagine it will have something to do with finances, money, and/or material things. Our resources. The ways in which we use our resources need to be innovated and the Sun in Aquarius will shine its bright light on this, giving us the wisdom we need to make it happen

Early morning, at 7:53 A.M. Full moon in Leo square Uranus. So now we throw the moon into the mix. The moon being the closest to us makes its relationships with other planets feel more personal. In theatrical Leo, the moon needs to be felt and heard. Leo is all about expression. When it forms a square with Uranus, we feel restless and impulsive, and the action we take may be dramatic. I’ll just say it: this screams protest, to me. A galvanization of the audience to re-invent the ways we use our resources. Uranus has been in Taurus since 2018 and it has shown us that we are misusing our resources financially and environmentally, the sun has helped us to pin point a source, and now the moon will awaken us with its mighty roar to spring us into action.

The moon will be in Virgo, potentially invigorating us with some productive energy. This could create some nervous tension in people with strong Sagittarius and Pisces placements in their natal chart. I recommend some busy work to remedy that tension. This energy is great for organizing, cleaning, repairs, or writing.

Early morning on Valentine’s Day is sure to be a dreamy one. At 6:07 A.M., Mercury enters Pisces. Mercury isn’t at its best, here. It’s a planet that rules information and communication. Details are important to Mercury. Ask Virgo. But Pisces is less concerned with details and more so with the visualization of the information which can be vague. It may want to spare our feelings and give only harmless parts of the truth. So this transit may feel a bit deceptive and/or incomplete. On the bright side, Mercury tends to be more poetic, here. So it’s appropriate that this transition happens on the day we all exchange sweet nothings. Mercury will be here until March 3rd. However, it will return when it retrogrades back into Pisces on March 29th. As someone with Virgo placements, I’m not excited about a retrograde Mercury in Pisces. People with strong water placements (Pisces, Scorpio, and Cancer) as well as Taurus and Capricorn placements in their natal chart, will have a better time navigating mercury in Pisces. People with fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and air (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) placements or people with natal planets in Virgo may struggle. It’ll be important to ask for clarification and be more patient when others don’t understand us.

At 10:45 A.M. the moon in Libra will form a harmonious relationship with Pluto. Here, we can get in touch with deep feelings and use them to empower us. Practically speaking, this energy is great for cleaning out closets and drawers and getting rid of what we don’t need. At 8:19 P.M. it will oppose Venus in Aries. Here, is an ideal time for window shopping and social gatherings. Perfect for a Saturday night. Because Venus is in Aries, there could be a minor upset but luckily the Moon in Libra is a good mediator. Try to understand their perspective and challenge yourself to find common ground. That is the path to peace.

At 4:36 P.M., The moon will form a tense relationship with Mars. Action will be emotionally driven as Mars is in the sign that the Moon rules; Cancer. Expect annoyances and frustration. Nothing earth-shattering just minor grievances. The moon in Libra allows us to understand another’s perspective more easily. Use that, think happy thoughts, and move on. It probably isn’t worth making a huge mess of. It’ll pass in an hour or two.
The Cosmic Tea is a general temperature check of the cosmos for the week. Some of these planetary movements may be felt personally or they may go unnoticed. Each of us has a unique astrological make up designed by the cosmos at our time of birth. Some of us may have planets in our birth chart that ease the more challenging aspects in the sky, currently or they may exacerbate them. Some may experience planetary shenanigans in their home life and others will experience the same energies in their career. All this to say, if you want to know how all of this may show up for you personally and what planetary defenses you have in your arsenal, I can certainly be of assistance. Just book a Transit Reading with me, below and we can decipher all the planetary shenanigans and how they might manifest for you!
