This week, Venus decides to put on the brakes and throw a retrograde tantrum in Aries, forcing us all to take a long, hard look at our love lives, our bank accounts, and our questionable impulse buys. Meanwhile, Mercury is busy holding hands with Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, ensuring that our thoughts range from ‘deeply profound’ to ‘delusionally optimistic’ in record time. And to top it off, the Sun squares off with Jupiter, bringing an over-the-top energy that could make even the most rational among us bite off more than we can chew. Let’s break it all down, one day at a time.
Monday, February 24, 2025 – Moon in Capricorn: Get Your Life Together (Or At Least Pretend To)
Mood: Serious, productive, but emotionally constipated.
Capricorn Moons are like unpaid internships for the soul—unpleasant but somehow necessary. You may feel an overwhelming need to get organized, set goals, and boss up in every area of life. On the flip side, emotions might feel like an annoying background noise that you’d rather ignore.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Make a to-do list and actually check things off.
- Have a tough conversation you’ve been avoiding—Capricorn energy won’t let you off the hook.
- But don’t be so rigid that you forget to, you know, enjoy existing.
Action Step: Take one practical step toward a long-term goal. Small moves add up.
Tuesday, February 25, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct Saturn in Pisces: Reality Check, Pisces-Style
Mood: Deep, contemplative, but slightly existential.
Mercury and Saturn meet in Pisces, which means our thoughts are either profoundly insightful or spiraling into ‘why did I text them back in 2018?’ territory. Conversations may feel heavier than usual, and if you’re prone to avoiding responsibilities, this transit will serve you a hefty dose of ‘figure it out.’
How to Work with This Energy:
- Take your dreams seriously—Saturn rewards discipline.
- But also be honest with yourself if you’ve been indulging in escapist nonsense.
- Be clear and intentional with communication; vague Pisces energy won’t cut it today.
Action Step: Journal about where you need more structure in your life. If your finances or career direction make you queasy, that’s a sign.
Wednesday, February 26, 2025 – Moon in Aquarius: Your Inner Rebel Takes the Wheel
Mood: Detached, quirky, and full of bright ideas.
Aquarius Moons encourage us to think outside the box and challenge the status quo. You may find yourself questioning outdated norms, seeking intellectual stimulation, or making random life decisions ‘just because.’
How to Work with This Energy:
- Brainstorm innovative solutions to problems (even if those problems are just ‘what should I eat for dinner?’).
- Spend time with like-minded people who challenge you to grow.
- Avoid being contrarian just for the sake of it—debating is fun, but don’t lose friends over it.
Action Step: Do something spontaneous—sign up for a weird class, change your routine, or send that text. (Yes, that one.)
Thursday, February 27, 2025 – Mercury Sextile Uranus + New Moon in Pisces: Psychic Downloads & Fresh Starts
Mood: Inspired, intuitive, but easily distracted.
Mercury’s sextile to Uranus means our minds are buzzing with creative ideas, and the New Moon in Pisces is the perfect time to plant seeds for a more intuitive and imaginative future. But with all this ethereal energy, it’s easy to get caught up in wishful thinking.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Set intentions, but make sure they’re not purely fantasy-driven.
- Keep an open mind for sudden insights or unexpected opportunities.
- Trust your intuition, but verify the facts—just in case.
Action Step: Write down three specific intentions for this lunar cycle. Make at least one of them grounded in reality.
Friday, February 28, 2025 – Moon in Pisces Conjunct Saturn: Feelings, But Make Them Practical
Mood: Emotional, but oddly disciplined.
Pisces Moons are usually dreamy and floaty, but Saturn is here to keep us accountable. This is a great day to apply emotional wisdom in a practical way. You may feel more sensitive, but also more capable of handling tough emotional truths.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Give your emotions structure—journaling, therapy, or setting boundaries are great uses of this transit.
- Avoid drowning in nostalgia. Yes, your ex was cute, but was the relationship functional?
Action Step: Do one thing today that supports your long-term emotional well-being.
Saturday, March 1, 2025 – Venus Retrograde in Aries: Love, Money & Confidence Check
Mood: Bold, impulsive, and full of regrets.
Venus retrograde in Aries forces us to reconsider what we really want in relationships, finances, and self-worth. Expect blasts from the past, reconsideration of what truly makes you happy, and, possibly, regrettable shopping sprees.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Reevaluate your relationships—are they empowering or draining?
- Take a break from impulsive financial decisions. If you wouldn’t buy it at full price, do you really need it?
- Prioritize self-love, but not in a way that justifies reckless behavior.
Action Step: Write a list of non-negotiables for your relationships and financial goals. Stick to them.
Sunday, March 2, 2025 – Mercury Conjunct Neptune + Sun Square Jupiter: Big Ideas, Big Drama
Mood: Inspired but possibly delusional.
Mercury and Neptune joining forces means our intuition is strong, but so is our ability to misunderstand things. Meanwhile, the Sun squaring Jupiter tempts us to take on more than we can handle.
How to Work with This Energy:
- Avoid making major decisions based on vibes alone—fact-check everything.
- Use this energy for creativity, storytelling, or spiritual pursuits.
- Watch out for overpromising and underdelivering.
Action Step: Double-check all plans and commitments. Your future self will thank you.
Final Takeaway: Own the Chaos, Don’t Let It Own You
This week is a mixed bag of deep realizations, impulsive energy, and dreamlike confusion. The trick is to stay grounded while navigating the waves—evaluate your relationships, set realistic goals, and don’t let Neptune talk you into a bad decision. Venus retrograde isn’t here to ruin your life; it’s here to show you what truly matters. Own it, refine it, and step into March stronger than before.
