Awareness through Astrology

Cosmic Insights – February 23, 2006 February 22, 2026

by Veronica G. Hartman.

The celestial week of February 23rd, 2026, begins with the Sun rising in spiritual Pisces, illuminating an opportunity to experience exchanges of spiritual knowledge through prayer, meditation, dreams, artistic creation, hypnosis, and or Divine Intervention to gain control of one’s inner and outer mind through emotional nurturing. Jupiter, the daily manager of Pisces, is currently wading into the emotional waters of Cancer, offering a chance to heal the emotional wounds of childhood, parenting, and dysfunctional family dynamics with the courage and desire to let go of what didn’t work for you personally, with the awareness that caretakers do the best they can with the resources they have, even if it wasn’t what you needed at the time. The difference between then and now is that you have the power to parent yourself and be the CEO of your personal hopes, wishes, and dreams, courtesy of Neptune and Saturn in Aries!

Meanwhile, the moon is strolling through the fields of Taurus with a time out from emotional stress to savor the peace found within by transcending worries through spiritual awareness and a renewed faith in life’s circumstances. While there may be a few kinks in the afternoon regarding resistant attitudes demonstrated by unpredictable behaviors about relationships and or financial resources, it is merely a bump in the road that can be maneuvered successfully with conservative actions and a reminderof consequences. Respectful boundaries are the key. Otherwise, unpredictable and costly results may come as a byproduct of impulsiveness and or inconsideration of others.

Later in the evening, the Moon leaves the peaceful emotional sanctuary of Taurus to enter the territory of duality in consciously communicative Gemini. Now that the dust has settled on recent emotional turbulence, the Moon in Gemini is ready to talk it out. Yet Mercury, the planetary messenger of Gemini, is in the shadow of a retrograde cycle in Pisces and is more inclined to let sleeping dogs lie for the time being, which is probably for the best, as miscommunicated feelings may only add additional confusion without immediate resolution. A wiser option is to give it at least three days to sort it out before engaging in the sharing of touching emotional feelings, as the moon in Gemini may be at cross purposes with the Sun in Pisces and the values of Venus in Pisces. Thus, communicating them through Mercury in Pisces may only convolute the information instead of clarifying it.

Before the day ends on February 25th, the Moon slips into the watery pond of Cancer to rinse off the residue of emotional exhaustion of the past few days before drifting off into a restful sleep to avoid a potential confrontation with Saturn and Neptune in Aries. However, it may be better to meet it head-on before Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces in a couple of hours.

Once the retrograde of Mercury in Pisces begins shortly after midnight on February 26th, miscommunication on the home front may become a catalyst for continued confusion in significant relationships relative to the desire for personal independence to manifest hopes, wishes, and dreams that may not pertain to or involve significant others. 

The turning point arrives on March 20th when Mercury moves forward in Pisces, yet complete clarity does not arrive until April 9th when Mercury leaves the shadow of the retrograde cycle.

In the mid-morning hours of February 27th, Mars in Aquarius challenges Uranus in Taurus to demonstrate the value of its convictions about circumstances, such as financial resources and relationships behind the scenes. Otherwise, Mars in unpredictable Aquarius may demonstrate a volatile reaction to them. This is symbolic of a daring situation where no one wins because everyone involved is going to get hurt with risky action-oriented behaviors. By the end of the day, an opportunity for peace occurs to prevail based on the values of working together instead of against one another, that take hold with a Venus and Mercury union in spiritual Pisces.

Last but not least, the recent solar eclipse in Aquarius is still shaking out new beginnings to acclimate to, with Saturn, the daily ruler of Aquarius, ready to move forward in impatient Aries, while also being slowed down by its evolutionary ruler Uranus in Taurus. The key to balancing the energy between go and stop, stop and go, is to determine the foundation desired for the next thirty years and formulate a workable plan of values to support it before the lunar eclipse on March 3rd, in Pisces/Virgo, that will help provide the guidance for the vision and the step-by-step process.
