What an intriguing and uplifting week for love and relationships ahead. Here is your astrology forecast for the coming days.
We begin the week following last week’s momentum and move into a First Quarter Moon, a time when the Universe often nudges us forward. Expect a surge of energy on Monday. The First Quarter Moon can feel like a mini-crisis — it often brings the first challenges to our New Moon intentions or signals the moment when something finally begins to shift.
Energy continues to improve as the week progresses, and by week’s end we may start to manifest results under the influence of the approaching Virgo Full Moon, even though the Moon won’t be completely full until March 9. Mercury remains in retrograde for now, giving us a chance to reflect on our thoughts and communication patterns. That retrograde is nearing its end with the Full Moon, so things may feel like they lurch forward at the start of next week.
This week has the feel of a buildup — you’ll sense that change is imminent, even if the full effects arrive next week. Since larger shifts are scheduled for the following week, focus on staying optimistic and maintaining the momentum you’re building now.
Review: Working with Water: Chakra Work for Pisces
With the Sun in the water sign Pisces, daydreaming and imagination are heightened. This is a supportive period for visualizing the future and clarifying what you want. At the same time, Pisces influence can make it easy to see people as we wish them to be rather than as they truly are, so avoid rushing into decisions based on idealized impressions.
On Wednesday, Venus, the planet of romance, moves into grounded, sensual Taurus. Your desire to experience life through the senses and to create comfort and pleasure will be stronger. Rather than acting impulsively, plan a delicious meal or a sensory experience that allows you to indulge thoughtfully.
