  • Date: February 21 @8:40am (ET) 5:40am (PT)
  • Moon Sign: Leo
  • Moon Phase: 2nd

What does it all mean?

  • The Leo Moon Loves Drama, so be warned… 
  • The Leo Moon loves to be noticed and recognized, so be prepared to “pump up” your loved ones and if you happened to have a Leo influence in yourself, be aware of how you may be going about getting recognized or appreciated… If you play your cards right this could be a positive time when you get to be where you need to be.
  • Try not to be overly “vain” and be prepared for drama at any-time from any direction
  • Try not to over react and if it’s not you doing the over reacting, try not to get caught up in the drama, or to encourage the over reactor
  • It’s a good time to check out the local talent, take in a down town show, get starry-eyed with your lover, or perhaps look for a new one, as romance is high on the priority ladder during this time. 
  • Might prove positive for hair cuts, make overs. 
  • This moon period will affect everyone, but more so those who have the following in their charts: And those who have a strong Aquarius placement in their charts.

 NOTES: February 22 @11:29 pm (PT) and on February 23 @2:29 am (ET), Mercury moves into the sign of Pisces. Mercury rules over things like communications, technology and transportation. He rules the signs of Gemini and Virgo. Pisces is the “end of the line” when it comes to zodiac signs, corresponding to the 12th house in the wheel and ruled by the elusive planet Neptune. 

Pisces is in Detriment when she is hanging out with Mercury, meaning, she isn’t at her best, perhaps feeling a little less confident then usual, which may have her getting slightly more muddled in her thinking and communicating. 

We love our Pisces people, we couldn’t survive without them, for they are full of compassion for their fellow human beings.. Pisces is trusting, even when her gut is screaming at her something isn’t right…  While this visit from Mercury will affect us all, those with strong Pisces chart influences will feel the affects the most.

We should all take care when we share experiences or stories,  as we may be tempted to embellish without really knowing we are doing so. On the other end, we should take care of how we listen… don’t take everything at face value, we may not be being told the absolute truth.

Pisces is a water sign, ruled by the ruler of the seas, Neptune, and since she isn’t feeling her best right now,  it may be wise for us, to take extra care with our electronic devices if we are near water. Watch you don’t  knock that coffee onto your keyboard, or drop your phone into the loo… 😮

The Moon and Astrology

How it affects our daily lives… 

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :) 

The Moon Void-of-Course: 

There are times throughout the month when the moon is not fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void of Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void of Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-of-Course moon… 

Good for Void-Of-Course Moon:

These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.

  • Cancer
  • Taurus
  • Sagittarius
  • Pisces…

Opportunity Periods 

There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.

The Moon will not be in any sign as she becomes full but will settle into visit with Aries at 12:58 pm and stay there until September 20 when she will once again become void off course until she changes signs on September 21.

Traditionally the Full Moon is thought to be a good time to finish up projects and bring things to a close.

The Moon in Aries: This could prove to be a challenging time for some. Aries is bold and brave and sometimes gets us into trouble by forging ahead without any thought to consequences. Aries is childlike in his desire to explore, which can put one into troubling or challenging circumstances. It’s easier to speak up when the moon is in Aries, we want to express our feelings and let others know we have had enough or we may simply want to be heard.

Helping us to speak up or put ourselves forward can be a good thing, especially for those of us who aren’t very good at it the rest of the time. Having the moon in Aries also helps us to focus on the self instead of others, which again is good for those who forget to include themselves in their own support network. However, the full moon as we all know can bring about some very odd behaviour in some of us, in fact most of us likely feel more agitated and less patient during a full moon, and indeed the day or so leading up to the full moon and sometimes a day or so afterwards. 

Now, if we put the full moon’s influence and Aries in the some room together we could end up with some trying moments. Aries is ruled by Mars, and Mars is the planet of aggression, he is masculine and wishes to assert himself whenever possible.  The moon represents our emotional side. 

So… it’s a very good idea to take time to monitor our emotions and reactions when these two are together, we may be prone to arguments, impulsive decisions, rushing about (which can cause accidents) and saying/doing things we later regret. Harsh words said now may cause more damage than was ever intended. It’s best to stay away from irritating people, keep to yourself (if you know you are going to be grumpy) and use the Mars energy in positive way, like cleaning out a closet or the car, or participating in sport activity that will tire you out, leaving little energy for negative behaviour. 

The Moon in the 2nd quarter: This is the time when we want to finish up our projects and feel the satisfaction of doing so. It can be a time of personal development and growth as we begin to understand ourselves a little more. Although with an Aries moon, inner growth is less likely, outer growth, such as the finishing of a work, study or sport subject may go smoothly. 

Moon in the 4th house: Focus may be on the home and private life now. Be aware of upset caused through heated discussions or arguments. Avoid domestic disputes whenever possible. 

Those most likely affected by this months full moon are those with any of the following: 

Moon in Aries: Mars in Aries: Moon in the 4th house: Mars in the 4th house

Negative aspects may produce challenging times, whereas positive aspects may produce windows of opportunity. Aspects are the connections (by degrees) that one planet or point makes to another within the charts.

When the moon is void off course we can be unsure as to how we are really feeling about something or something, it’s therefore advisable to stick to routine tasks at this time. If any legal documents or long-term commitments are in the picture take care to make sure you understand everything that is involved before signing… Delaying important decisions and commitments is highly recommended when the moon is void off course…
