Astrology of the Day – Moon in Pisces – Friday 16th February 2018

Moon conjunct Venus - Feel the peace and contentment

The Moon begins the day void of course in Aquarius after the Solar Eclipse of the previous day is dissolving, but not for long as it soon makes a shift into the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces. The Moon here makes us much more compassionate, sensitive to the moods around us, intuitive, imaginative and sacrificial. We can tap into the zeitgeist now to get the answers we need, and information will come to us much more through feeling and what we sense than the day before.

Astrologically this is a most quiet blue sky day, with the Moon making just two connections to the other planets. The first of these sees the Moon making a sextile to Saturn around lunchtime in the UK. The second comes soon afterwards with the Moon making a conjunction to Venus. The sextile to Saturn calms our emotions which is a good thing, as the Moon in Pisces can be so sensitive that things that emotionally hit us can bring us to tears. We can ally the organisational and administrative ability of Saturn to the intuition of the Pisces moon to make the right calls when needed. We can structure our creative output, put the meat on the bones of the ideas and thoughts we have, bring our visions into reality. If we do find ourselves in stressful situations, Saturn will allow us to think clearly without allowing our emotions to get out of hand.

The conjunction with Venus is a very compassionate and thoughtful influence and it promises a peaceful few hours in our lives, which I would think would be a blessing to us all. There is love and caring in abundance and we will willingly give up our time for other people to make sure that they are ok. We will feel as if we need to be with others, especially with family or close friends, and you will want them to feel warm, looked after and safe. If you are out shopping, you may intuitively know what is a bargain and what isn't. Trust your feelings and you may get a good deal for your money. It's a day to dream, to contemplate and to feel the love, and all in all you should be able to relax and feel wanted. Put your feet up and feel the peace and serenity, as the planets are rarely in such a benevolent and loving mood.
