Astrological Highlights for the Week Ahead
A big week for communication this week, as we begin with good vibes from the First Quarter in Gemini and face some difficult energy towards the end of the week with Mercury in Pisces…
First Quarter Moon in Gemini
27th February 2023 3:05am (ET) 27th February 2023 8:05am (GMT)
First Quarter is all about
luck
healing and growth and Gemini
is all about socialising
creativity, and curiosity
This is an excellent time to learn a new topic, study
or continue building on plans already started. Spells
for communicating and bonding with loved ones
are favourable now too.
Some of Gemini’s lessons, as an air sign, involve communicating
with ourselves and others and opening our minds to new experiences and information. This can be a truly progressive time for our personal and social lives should we choose to use it wisely.
Mercury Enters Pisces
2nd March 2023 5:52pm (ET) 2nd March 2023 10:52pm (GMT)
It’s time to check ourselves this transit, as we may find ourselves struggling to communicate when Mercury enters Pisces
this week. That is because Mercury in Pisces is not only in detriment but also in fall. What does that mean exactly? Well, there are
essential dignities of a planet: Domicile, Exaltation, Detriment, and Fall.
A planets Domicile is the zodiac sign in which the planet is considered to be the most comfortable and “at home” more commonly known as the sign that it rules. Mercury rules Gemini
and Virgo
and so, is in domicile when it is positioned in one of those signs.
A planet is said to be in Detriment (or exile) when it is positioned in the zodiac sign opposite the sign it rules (its domicile). This means it is not comfortable in the sign and operates with the least strength. Mercury is in detriment in Sagittarius and Pisces
A planet’s Exaltation is the zodiac sign in which it can achieve its highest potential. It is a harmonious placement. Mercury is exalted in Virgo
A Fall is the sign positioned opposite a planet’s sign of exaltation. This is a position of weakness for the planet. Mercury is in fall in Pisces
Therefore, during this transit, we may find it difficult to communicate. Pisces is dreamy intuitive, and imaginative and this can clash
with Mercury’s logical
and factual nature.
We tend to be more sensitive and impressionable. We may take things to heart and misread communication from others. We may find ourselves getting overwhelmed and, as a result, needing some time alone. We may struggle to make concrete plans during this cycle.
As a result, it may be a good time to cast a spell for peace
in communications. Mercury enters Pisces when the moon is waxing gibbous
which is perfect for attracting things.
Good luck and Love & Light to all!
