Mars Goes Direct! How This Week’s Astrology (2.17.25-2.23.25) Will Supercharge Your Life

Weekly Horoscope: February 17–23, 2025
Mars Turns Direct, and We’re Back in Business!

Brace yourselves, folks—this week packs a punch! Mars, the planet of action (and occasional temper tantrums), is finally turning direct in Cancer after months of sluggish emotional processing. It’s time to get moving, especially in areas related to home, family, and personal boundaries. But wait, there’s more! We’ve got the Sun slipping into Pisces, a Mercury-Jupiter square that could make everyone sound like a know-it-all, and a deliciously intuitive Mercury-Mars trine to round out the week. Buckle up—wait, scratch that—I mean, let’s get into it!

Shaken, Not Stirred: How to Survive (and Thrive) Under Uranus’ Shockwaves This Week

Buckle up—wait, scratch that. I know you probably hate that phrase, because it’s so overused. But seriously, this week is not business as usual. Uranus, that rebellious troublemaker, is running the show, tossing lightning bolts at your well-laid plans and forcing you to either roll with the chaos or cling desperately to what’s crumbling. (Hint: The second option is a losing game.)

So, what’s the move? Simple: Adapt. Improvise. Overcome. Easier said than done? Maybe. But with a little foresight—and my sharp, unsolicited advice—you’ll not only get through this week but come out the other side with newfound clarity, a few battle scars, and maybe even a better Wi-Fi connection (Mercury square Uranus is notorious for frying tech).

Mercury in Pisces Is Here—And Logical Thinking Just Left the Chat

When Mercury—the planet of thinking, communication, and making sense of life’s nonsense—takes a swim through Pisces, something weird happens. The usual crisp logic? Gone. Straightforward conversations? Blurred like a watercolor painting left in the rain. And your ability to explain why you walked into a room and forgot what you needed? Let’s just say it’s at an all-time low.

Mercury in Pisces does not operate on facts. It operates on vibes. It doesn’t care about your spreadsheets, your meticulously crafted to-do lists, or the fine print on that contract you definitely should have read twice (but didn’t). Instead, it’s whispering dreamlike messages, half in riddles, half in gut feelings, and expecting you to figure it out.

The Full Moon in Leo: When the Spotlight is a Little Too Bright

Grab your sunglasses, folks, because the Full Moon in Leo is here (it happens on February 12, 2025), and it’s bringing the kind of theatrical energy that could make Broadway blush. Full Moons are always a time of heightened emotions, revelations, and culminations, but when the Moon is in Leo, that intensity is dialed up to “main character syndrome.”

This lunation is a high-voltage, high-drama affair, demanding attention, recognition, and—most of all—respect. Leo doesn’t do things halfway. It wants the full standing ovation, the glittering tiara, and a rapt audience hanging on every word. But here’s the kicker—this Full Moon is opposing Mercury in Aquarius and squaring Uranus in Taurus. Translation? Expect the unexpected. Instead of a grand red carpet moment, you might find yourself tripping over your own train in front of a crowd of onlookers.

Jupiter’s Grand Comeback: Your Weekly Horoscope for February 3–9, 2025

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s time to dream bigger, think bolder, and take a risk or two—consider this it. This week, Jupiter is back in the driver’s seat, and let’s just say, it’s got a lead foot. As the VIP of the astrological week, Jupiter is making moves, shifting gears, and encouraging all of us to embrace the art of expansion. Whether it’s about learning, love, money, or just being a little more unapologetically you, this is the kind of energy that makes the world feel a little wider, the opportunities a little shinier, and your to-do list just a bit more ambitious.

From Retrograde Chaos to Clarity: Why Jupiter Direct in Gemini Is Your Intellectual Green Light

When Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, it’s like your brain has finally come out of airplane mode. After months of introspection, revision, and (let’s be honest) a little mental chaos during Jupiter’s retrograde phase, this transit ushers in a rush of clarity and forward motion. Ideas start flowing again, communication gets a boost, and all those half-baked thoughts you’ve been mulling over are suddenly ready for the oven. But before we dive into the practicalities of how to make the most of this transit, let’s take a moment to reflect on where we’ve been.
