Week of February 23rd - March 1st 2026
My intention in creating this post is to show how the individual elements of astrology transits combine to form an overall energetic theme. We can look at astrology transits at a micro lens, which is exemplified by the Moon’s quick progression through the Zodiac and its corresponding transits. By zooming out bit by bit, we can see how each transit contributes to the energy of a day, and the energy of each day contributes to a weekly energetic blueprint. I recommend using this information as a tool for learning, as well as self reflection. By looking at transits before and after they occur, you can form your own understanding on how it impacted you, and what you learned from it.
Please note that times listed next to each transit are approximate and in Pacific Standard Time. Bolded transits indicate particularly important activity.
Monday February 23rd
Moon in Taurus Sextile Mercury in Pisces 5am
Creative, intuitive understanding, communicating passionate feelings through art
Moon in Taurus Square Mars in Aquarius 9:30am
Uncomfortable, shifting, unstable, desire for change despite needing comfort
Moon in Taurus Conjunct Uranus in Taurus 2:30pm
Unexpected events leading to mood shifts, breakthroughs in emotional processing
Moon enters Gemini 6:30pm
Our emotions move from being connected to the body in Taurus to the mind in Gemini
Moon in Gemini Sextile Saturn and Neptune in Aries 8pm
New ideas relating to new cycle we are starting, increase in energy for creating new timeline
Monday the Moon moves from Taurus to Gemini, and the energy differs between the morning/afternoon to the evening. As the Moon is in Taurus, we feel energy bubbling inside of us that needs a release. Expect situations to break your routine in the afternoon, and examine how you emotionally handle what’s thrown your way.
As the Moon enters Gemini, we feel more connected to our mind and how we perceive. Awareness shifts to the new reality that we have created for ourselves in the past few weeks, and how we move forward. This would be an ideal time to journal and get all of your ideas out to channel this new timeline.
Tuesday February 24th
Moon in Gemini Trine Pluto in Aquarius 2am
Invigorating, mental clarity on blockages/trauma
Moon in Gemini Square Sun in Pisces 4am
Reflection point, turning point, forward movement towards unknown
On Tuesday we can expect to feel like we are moving in a new direction, as the Moon Squares the Sun. This indicates that we are more than halfway to the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd. However, we do not know exactly what direction we are going, or how we are going to get there, all we know is that we are moving. This is due to the energy of the Lunar Eclipse being ruled by Mercury, which will be Retrograde in Pisces.
With the Moon in Gemini, this is a day centered around the mind, perception, and communication. Play with the ideas that come to your head, and write them down. Healing can occur if you focus intently on your nervous system, and the thoughts that repeatedly enter your space.
Wednesday February 25th
Moon in Gemini Square Mercury in Pisces 8am
Confusion, logic not adding up, data not matching reality
Moon in Gemini Trine Mars in Aquarius 3pm
Energetic push, motivation, communicating passion towards higher purpose
Moon enters Cancer 9:30pm
Emotional support, clarity, self-nurturing, sensitivity
Mercury in Pisces Stations Retrograde 11pm
Changing of plans, turning around, loss of direction, confusion, foggy
Moon in Cancer Square Neptune in Aries 11pm
Intuition test, intuitive reset, spiritual confusion
Moon in Cancer Square Saturn in Aries 11:45pm
Melancholy, longing for past, sadness
Wednesday is an important day as we begin Mercury Retrograde, and we feel the effects of it in the morning as logic gets thrown out the window. Mercury does not resonate with Pisces energy, as Mercury rules over communication, the mind, data, logistics, technology. Pisces rules over spirituality, creativity, artistry, and emotional sensitivity. Mercury is lost in the ocean and is not a great swimmer. While Mercury will eventually get back to shore, we do have to sit in the energy in the meantime.
Despite the element of confusion, we are being pushed energetically to face our fears, and face anything in the past that is holding us back. In the late evening, the Moon enters Cancer and our emotional triggers are tested. The Saturn Neptune Conjunction is a very sensitive area of the Zodiac currently, and as the Moon forms a Square to it, the foundations that we have dissolved and are moving away from are calling our name to see if we are charmed by the past. Do we get lost in the past, or do we continue looking forward? Remember that you are never going to be the person you dream of if you let the past haunt you.
Thursday February 26th
Moon in Cancer Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer 11pm
Opportunity found through emotional catharsis and self reflection
Thursday is a quiet day, as we only experience one Moon transit. However, the energy surrounding Thursday is very active, and this day will have the energy of Wednesday and Thursday blended together. Think of it as a transition day of sorts. Use Thursday to self reflect, and take care of your basic needs. Emotions are running high, and it's important to evaluate where you are placing your attention, and if it is helping or harming your mood.
Friday February 27th
Mars in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus 9am
Explosive action, unexpected drive, aggravation and irritation, physical discomfort
Moon in Cancer Trine Venus in Pisces 10am
Emotional support from loved ones, creative boon
Moon in Cancer Trine Mercury in Pisces 11am
Emotional clarity, meditation, communicating new feelings
Moon in Cancer Sextile Uranus in Taurus 8pm
Allowing the unexpected to guide you
Venus in Pisces Conjunct Mercury in Pisces 10pm
Supportive guidance and clarity despite unknown direction
On Friday, we can see a stark contrast between the Mars Square Uranus energy, and the Venus Conjunct Mercury energy. You can expect events to play out on the world stage here. Despite this, there is an immense amount of emotional support offered by close relationships, and community. Individually, we can expect to feel some tension and conflict arise in us, but we have ample energetic opportunities to counteract that. Finding support in others and the universe will guide you through Friday a whole lot better than those getting swept up in any chaos.
Saturday February 28th
Moon enters Leo 12:30am
Energy shifts from inward to outward, extroverted, outgoing
Moon in Leo Trine Neptune in Aries 2am
Passionate spiritual expression, spiritual opening
Moon in Leo Trine Saturn in Aries 3am
Motivation, excitement despite fear
Moon in Leo Opposite Pluto in Aquarius 8am
Emotional trigger, emotional realization, selfless vs selfish
Saturday marks an outward shift of energy as the Moon enters Leo. We feel more extroverted, and have a desire to express all of our new understandings from the previous few days. Despite this new sense of energy, we are faced with an emotional realization that triggers any past trauma that no longer serves us thanks to Pluto. While others may be letting all of their baggage out on others in an unhealthy way, use this as an opportunity to show how the new version of yourself acts while handling triggers.
Sunday March 1st
On Sunday there are no notable transits/aspects occurring. Despite this, we are quickly approaching the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on Monday the 2nd, and can feel its energy intensely. Mars is also approaching the very end of Aquarius, and will enter Pisces on Monday. This day feels like a pause before the big tipping point. Get prepared for the upcoming shift in energy, and finalize anything that you can eliminate from your focus.
Final Thoughts
This week is an energetic turning point, as Mercury Stations Retrograde and Mars Squares Uranus. Being in the middle of Eclipse Season, we can feel dramatic change on the horizon, but nothing to show for it just yet. Use this week to get your bearings, and practice grounding yourself and your emotions. You are going to feel energy building up as the week goes on, but will not be sure of where it is going. Trust that you are in divine timing, and that everything is being orchestrated accordingly.
