The Burning Bush of Brilliance: Understanding Mercury in Aquarius Through Moses
After 2 months of Mercury being in Capricorn, it finally leaves the sign of the sea goat and flies into the airy realm of Aquarius.
When I think about Mercury in Aquarius, my mind immediately jumps to Moses. Yes, that Moses. Stick with me here, because this isn’t your average Bible study. Moses—the reluctant leader, the lawgiver, and the visionary—perfectly embodies the quirky brilliance of Mercury in Aquarius. This isn’t about religion, but about archetypes, myths, and the way the story of Moses mirrors the intellectual and communicative superpowers of Mercury in the sign of the water-bearer.

From Frustration to Fulfillment: Master This Week’s (Jan 13 – Jan 19, 2025) Astrological Challenges
Navigating the Week of January 13–19, 2025: Saturn’s Tough Love and Practical Magic
It’s a Saturn-dominated week, Storm Chasers, and you know what that means: no shortcuts, no freebies, and certainly no excuses. Saturn—the zodiac’s resident disciplinarian—steps into the spotlight, demanding accountability and long-term thinking. It’s time to build strong foundations, learn from challenges, and emerge wiser. Every day this week offers its own flavor of astrological energy, and while some transits might feel like a walk in the park, others will test your patience. The trick? Work with the energy, rather than fighting it. Let’s break it down, day by day, and explore how to make the most of Saturn’s tough love.
Why the Sun in Aquarius is the Ultimate Time for Bold Ideas and Brave New Beginnings
When the Sun takes its yearly journey through Aquarius, it’s like an invitation to step out of the predictable and into a realm where innovation, individuality, and eccentricity reign supreme. Two planetary heavyweights rule Aquarius: Saturn, the structured disciplinarian, and Uranus, the rebel with a cause. Together, they create a dynamic energy that is equal parts visionary and grounded—an ideal combination for shaking things up without losing sight of reality.
Astrology Forecast for the Week of February 14, 2022 – February 20, 2022
The astrology forecast for the week of February 14, 2022 through February 20, 2022 features two major aspects (Venus conjunct Mars and Jupiter sextile Uranus), two sign changes, and the Full Moon in Leo.
It’s going to be a busy week. So, let’s dive right in.
Cosmic Overview
The aspect of the week is Mars conjoined to Venus in Capricorn. This configuration is special because Mars will overtake Venus, when usually Venus is the one that completes an aspect to Mars.
But, why?
Back in November, Venus moved into Capricorn and began applying to a sextile with Mars in Scorpio. However, Venus slowed down before turning retrograde, and Mars slipped into Sagittarius. In astrological terms, this is called frustration, and it means that matters governed by Venus and Mars could not come together or materialize. Venus turned retrograde in December, and Mars continued to move through Sagittarius until it moved into Capricorn on January 24th. Venus then turned direct on January 29th, but because she is still moving slower than Mars, Mars can overtake Venus and finally come together.
Mars conjoin Venus is great for relationships that have been problematic for the last few months. Tensions should begin to subside, and since the conjunction occurs in earthy Capricorn, this is an excellent time to get the relationship back on the right footing and begin to rebuild structure and foundation. You will notice that it will be easier to negotiate and reach a compromise. Also, if your sex life has been in a slump, Mars-Venus will help spice it up! So, even though Valentine’s Day happens on February 14th, in the cosmos cupids arrow strikes on the 16th.
Daily Breakdown
Monday, February 14, 2022
We start the week off with Mercury moving out of Capricorn and back into Aquarius. Remember, Aquarius is the sign Mercury turned retrograde in last month, so all you Mercury shadow watchers, the end is near.
The sign of Aquarius is about progress. On the personal level, we can say that Aquarius is the sign that helps make our lives better than it is now. So Mercury, moving through the sign of the water bearer, helps us develop strategies, plans, and ways to help us level up. Pay close attention to your current interests or anything you learn at this time, because it may provide insight about the future.

The Moon moves through playful Leo and forms a tense opposition to Saturn. Although you would rather play and have some fun, the burdens of Saturn may leave you feeling frustrated and cranky. The key to working with this aspect is to take care of business, but save some time for the fun stuff. Remember, all work and no play make Jill a sad girl.
Wednesday, February 16, 2022
The Full Moon occurs in fiery Leo. The sign of Leo reflects our inner purpose (destiny) and personal identity. Since the Full Moon cycle is about letting go of what no longer serves you, this Full Moon is excellent for banishing self-defeating behaviors and everything in your life that doesn’t bring you joy. Also, if you need reputation repair, this is the perfect time to leave your past mistakes behind and embrace the real you – warts and all.
Thursday, February 17, 2022
Today, Jupiter forms a sextile to Uranus in Taurus. If you’ve been waiting for an auspicious time to make positive changes in your life, look no further – Jupiter sextile Uranus will get the job done. While this aspect is active (next two weeks), it’s a beneficial time to change jobs, make financial investments, and take risks. Since Jupiter is highly dignified in Pisces, anything you put your mind and energy into should be successful.
Friday, February 18, 2022
The Sun moves out of the airy realms of Aquarius and dives deep into the oceanic depths of Pisces.
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac. It reflects the process of going inward after eleven months of experiencing the outer world and preparing to begin the process again once the Sun moves into Aries in March. The yearly cycle (actually, all cycles) resembles the cycle of the Moon. As the Moon fades away during the waning crescent Moon, it’s time to focus on what we need to let go of, do releasing work, healing, and bring old matters to a conclusion. We are given a larger window to work on these issues during Pisces season. Just a warning: this type of work shouldn’t be done haphazardly. Instead, it should be done with careful thought and consideration.
Saturday, February 19, 2022
The Moon moves through social Libra and forms a beautiful trine to Mercury in Aquarius. If you’ve experienced some cabin fever over the past few months, it’s time to get out, smell the fresh air, and socialize with people. It’s an excellent day for a lunch date or a get together. The main point is connecting with others, especially those you care about.
Sunday, February 20, 2022
The Moon continues to move through Libra and squares Venus and Mars. You may experience some minor conflict with others today, but matters should resolve quickly. Try to remain as proactive as possible and use your wise mind.
See you next week!
Astrology Forecast for the Week of February 7, 2022 – February 13, 2022
The astrology forecast for the week of February 7, 2022 through February 13, 2022 features only two planetary aspects – Mars trine Uranus and Mercury conjunct Pluto.
So, energetically speaking, it’s a slow week. But, after two planetary retrogrades (Mercury and Venus), we need a bit of a break.
Let’s dive in…
Cosmic Overview
The aspect of the week occurs on Friday, when Mercury conjoins Pluto for the third time in the last two months. Mercury conjoin Pluto adds a bit of intensity to the mind, and it’s easy to see beneath the surface of things, especially other people’s agendas. But, even though you see the ‘truth of the matter’, it’s best to keep it to yourself for now, because this aspect easily triggers opposition from others. So, use any knowledge you receive carefully, and try not to become obsessed with proving your point.
Also, it’s best to avoid gossip (giving and receiving), because it could lead to potential blowback.
