New Moon Forecast for 2/11/21-2/27/21 *UPDATED*

The theme of this time is conscious choice. My guides have been giving me a lot of messages around how and why we make our choices. For example, there’s nothing wrong with making a safe choice that feels comfortable — but was it made out of fear? In the opposite energetic spectrum, making a bolder, more vulnerable choice can feel invigorating — but was it made out of a need to escape? This is a time to check-in, regularly, and ensure that all of your choices are coming from a place of love and authenticity rather than the energies of fear or lack. The transits this month might surprise us, but they are helping us come into alignment with our truth.

Anytime fear comes up for you this month, make sure to dismiss it like the joker it is. Refuse to let it have any power over you. Ambush fear with your ferocious dream. The Chariot card pictured here (from the Field Tarot) shows two potential vehicles. Either of these could lead to a successful outcome, but which one do you choose? Does it make you happy? Does it make you feel empowered? Is it you?

I am also feeling so much potential for self-care and healing at this time, especially while Mercury is in retrograde and in its shadow. Find ways you can show up for yourself EVERY DAY... even if it’s just five minutes. You’ll be surprised how little things can make a big impact. And never feel guilty about doing things for yourself. You’ll be in a much better place to serve when you prioritize yourself first.

Important dates

February 11: New Moon at 2:06 p.m., Venus conjunct Jupiter — a very Aquarian day, with the most planets in Aquarius that we’ve seen in decades. We’re going to feel a lot of nervous system energy, which could result in default modes of self-soothing or a propensity for excess with the Venus/Jupiter conjunction. This could also be a great day for relationships and expanding existing connections in a positive and love-filled way. Self-love practices will be very expansive today. Treat yourself to a healing session, yoga class, salt bath, or some decadent chocolate.

February 13: Mercury retrograde conjunct Venus, Mars sextile Neptune — watch out for miscommunication, especially in love and relationships. Mars and Neptune might have you feeling hopeful about something that isn’t reciprocated or possible at this time. Past relationships also have the potential to surface in weird ways (think random texts or dreams of high school). P.S. Anyone else having random high school dreams? Be mindful of creating too much attachments today. In fact, being in nature is a wonderful way to work with this energy. You might discover some unexpected magic.

February 14: Mercury retrograde conjunct Jupiter — It’s a great day to make a list of all of the things you love about yourself. Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 17: Saturn Square Uranus — this is the energy that is dominating the collective over these next few weeks. This energy can be alarming and unexpected, but it’s meant to quickly align you with your authentic path. Write out a list of all of the things you’ve been trying to call in, create, or manifest. Then circle the ones that make you feel the BEST. This is where this energy is calling you. What steps can you take to achieve it? What needs to be released in order for you to reach those goals? Use this time to connect with the energies of manifestation. I LOVE manifestation, because it’s the process of coming into deeper alignment with your authenticity and truth. When this happens, the universe is naturally abundant.

February 18: Sun enters Pisces at 5:44 a.m. — it’s officially Pisces season! The mutable water energy of Pisces will feel like a nice shift after all of the Aquarian energy of this past month. Here’s a simple water ritual: fill a beautiful glass or chalice with pure, clean water, rub your palms together, and then place the palm of your dominant hand over the water. Set the intention to infuse the water with healing life force energy. When you start to feel the flow of energy from your hand to the water, know that the process is complete. Then, drink every drop of the water and imagine it healing all of your cells and organs in the most perfect and divine way possible.

February 20: Mercury stations direct! (Yay — kinda) Mercury will still be in its shadow phase until mid-March. When Mercury goes direct in its shadow, it revisits all of the problem areas it was bringing awareness to during the initial retrograde. So if things were left unresolved over the past month, it might come back again to remind you. It’s going to move very slowly at the end of the month, potentially intensifying the effect. Don’t rush into anything just yet... I’m personally not planning to install social media again until we get closer to the spring equinox.

February 24-25: Mars trine Pluto, Venus moves into Pisces, Sun sextile Uranus — This can certainly be shifts and changes for the good. I see this energy as creating new motivation and drive for a self-care practice. A daily meditation practice, in particular, could ground some of this energy into the body for positive transformation.

Full moon in Virgo on February 27 at 3:17 a.m. Make sure to look at the night sky on the night of the 26th, because you’ll see it in all of its glory. 🌕

Key takeaways:

• Practice more conscious awareness about the choices you make and refuse to let fear run the show.
• Self-care is key these weeks and highly expansive. Be mindful about self-soothing practices that do not support your highest good. Consider a short daily meditation practice to ground any excess energy.
• Use the Mercury/Jupiter transit on Valentine’s Day to make a list of all of the things you love and admire about yourself.
• If you experience sudden disruptions, use them as an opportunity to double down on the goals and intentions that feel in highest alignment. It’s all meant to bring you closer to your truth.
• Try a healing water ritual like the one mentioned above when the sun moves into Pisces.
• Get all of your Mercury retrograde glitches in order before it moves direct and repeats the same patterns.
