The week begins quietly, but we are on the brink of something big. With shocking Uranus, messenger Mercury, and sweet Venus all on the cusp of their respective signs, there is a sense of urgency to push forward. Mercury, however, is about to station retrograde, so not too fast!You can find help from a friend when it comes to achieving your vision on or near Wednesday, February 27, as the sun in Pisces gently harmonizes with action planet Mars in sensual Taurus at 9:33 PM. Lunch plans—or breakfast plans the following day—would make a great setting for a conversation that helps move you along your way.

The week’s biggest moment comes towards the weekend: On Friday, March 1, love and money planet Venus in hardworking Capricorn squares off with Uranus, the planet of surprises, at 7:31 AM. On or near Friday, action is taken to instate independence and take charge. We are owning up to our past as we take a step into the future.This week, Uranus is at the very final degrees of Aries, finishing up its job as the inventive and rebellious planet prepares to switch signs for the first time in seven years. We had a sample of Uranus in Taurus from May 15 to November 16 of 2018, which gave us a preview of the innovations in fashion and art we’ll be seeing during the next seven years.Also on Friday, March 1, sweet Venus will change signs, leaving Capricorn for Aquarius just a few hours after its square to Venus at 11:45 AM. While Venus is in Aquarius, strangeness in love and aesthetics is appreciated. Affections require communication and rational thought. Similar to Venus in Capricorn, we are committed to our relationships. Venus is also the planet of money, and with Venus in future-thinking, Saturn-ruled Aquarius, we can start putting our spare change in a savings account.Although Mercury retrograde technically doesn’t begin until next week, we are in the middle of what’s known as Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow. Pay attention to the conversations, commutes, and—because Mercury is in an intuitive water sign—emotional impressions, that are before you right now. They are especially strong on Sunday, March 3, as Mercury reaches the degree at which it will station retrograde as the messenger planet begins to slow down and create confusion. From February 19 to March 5, Mercury will travel over this path for the first of three times. The second time will be during Mercury retrograde from March 5 to March 28. Your third and last chance to tighten up loose ends will be from March 28 through April 16. Mercury retrograde is actually good, because it gives us the opportunity to triple check our work—keep this in mind when you’re ready to complain about it!
