ASTROLOGY FORECAST
(February 17 - 22)
We have discussed the Galactic Center at approximately 27° Sagittarius several times recently. A light shines on this spot once again this week.
The Galactic Center is a tremendously powerful gravitational vortex at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. It sends out massive radio waves. Metaphysics believes it to also be a portal to deep space, being a two-way phenomenon. It is also thought to transmit multidimensional wisdom and light to any planet, asteroid, or point passing by its vicinity.
2/17 - Asteroid APOLLO is the next heavenly body to pass this marker. Apollo is an interesting addition to our understanding of the asteroids and how they influence our astrology.
In Greek mythology APOLLO is a God of Light, not just the Sun. In addition, his name is not changed in Roman mythology, which is rather unusual.
Being an important God, Apollo's attributes are listed in multiple categories among the prominent asteroids. It falls within the grouping for Love, Health, and Talent. Attributes include: Creativity, Inspiration, Self-expression, Truth, Music, Healing, Prophesy, and Shape-shifting.
We can benefit greatly from any new information APOLLO will emanate. Since so many attributes are connected with this energy in such a wide variety of categories, everyone can fully expect to gain incite. When you add the visionary aspect of Sagittarius, you might find it to be of a rather unusual and multidimensional nature. APOLLO being a God of the Light makes this transit very hopeful.
2/17 - When looking at the charts for all the dates in February, I came across an aspect that is quite exciting. It is a Grand Trine between SATURN in Pisces, MARS in Cancer, and Asteroid VESTA in Scorpio.
To give you a visual example, a Grand Trine is an equilateral triangle, all sides being of the same length, and is very large, expanding across the zodiac wheel. This is one of the most beneficial aspects that the planets and asteroids can form.
This one is a Water Trine. SATURN is the planet of responsibility and structure - your favorite teacher, and is considered male, or neutral, in gender by some. MARS is the strong, assertive, warrior, and is male in nature. Asteroid VESTA is the representative of the sacred in the chart. She will feed very sacred energy to MARS and SATURN. The water element will circulate this energy around the Zodiac wheel to soften and uplift the collective. Water flows, shifts, and softens. It is a nurturing element, and of course, makes up the bulk of our bodies, and that of the Earth. The exciting thing is the duration of this Grand Water Trine. It lasts from 2/17 until 4/03 - 45 days! I think you might look for a softening in some of your more rigid opinions and actions, a breakthrough in some of your challenges and habits, and new ideas about what strength and responsibility might look like. We have heard a great deal of wisdom teaching about relaxing into the flow, rather than so much striving and struggling for everything. I believe this Grand Water Trine will assist you.
2/18 - The SUN moves into Pisces today. This is the end of this Zodiac cycle. The Sun picks up and broadcasts the Pisces traits. “Astrology for Beginners” by William Hewitt lists these attributes:
Qualities: Mutable-Water
Key Phrase: I Believe
Key Word: Compassion
Virtue: Charitableness
Defect: Easily Influenced
Rulership: Natural Ruler of the 12th House
Ruling Planet: Neptune
Exalted Planet: Venus
Pisces is imaginative, mystical, and psychic. It is the end of a cycle, and ushers in dreams of the next. Pisces encourages us to move forward . The majority of the transit comes in March, the windiest month of the year. The winds of change escort us all into a new time when we can bring our dreams to fruition.
There is another factor to consider with Pisces. It is the region of the sky that includes the Royal Star Fomalhaut. This Fixed Star has many of the same qualities and is connected with Archangel Gabriel.
Any sign that includes one of the Royal Stars has added emphasis since these Fixed Stars are considered to be corridors to deep space.
Fomalhaut is different in that it is in an area devoid of many stars. This void in this particular region lends itself to the pure potential of creation itself. I invite you to use this time of year to launch yourself toward your desired Soul growth.
2/18 - Asteroid JUNO moves into Sagittarius until 4/16. This entire interval will be spent at 1° Sagittarius. The very slow movement is because JUNO is soon to begin its retrograde motion on 3/19.
JUNO carries with her the traits of honesty and loyalty, even in the face of betrayal. The mind immediately goes toward relationships with others. I do think that at this time in human development we might be guided toward the relationship with the self. Are you honest with yourself? Are you loyal to yourself? Are you betraying yourself in any way by your interactions with the outside world and its inhabitants?
JUNO will be in Sagittarius for 2 months now, and 5 months beginning in October 2025 due to its retrograde motion. You may wish to apply the adventurous, visionary Sagittarius qualities to these questions now and again later in the Autumn. Will you be honest with, and loyal to yourself? If you can, then you will be much more able to show those qualities to others in your life.
Perhaps that is the very best way to be of service to Love and Light.

2/23 - Asteroid/Dwarf Planet CERES moves into Pisces until 5/16. She is in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
CERES is associated with motherhood, nurturing, agriculture, and the seasons of life. She is joining the very large stellium in Pisces that we discussed in some detail two weeks ago. There are now 9 planets, asteroids, and points.
They are:
CERES
SAPPHO
SUN
MERCURY
SATURN
ISIS
PSYCHE
NEPTUNE
NORTH NODE
This is a very powerful collection of energies as we close out this Zodiac cycle. I would say beyond imagining, but dreams and imagination are Pisces specialties!
As stated two weeks ago, this stellium is heavily influenced by the Divine Feminine. CERES adds to that. Perhaps you can apply the dreams that mothers have for their children to yourself and humanity. Together we can guide ourselves and the world into the most benevolent outcome for everything and everyone.
2/27 - Now the power ratchets up even further. The NEW MOON falls in Pisces at 7:45 pm EST. This makes 10 members of this Pisces stellium, almost all of them carrying feminine energy. This encourages imagination, magic, spiritual vision, and is a source of multidimensional qualities. Draw on them freely.
2/28 - The bundle formation that this above group is going to form makes me even more curious about the phenomenon. I felt guided to look at the positions of ALL the listed astrological asteroids, as well as the planets. It was astonishing! Here are some of the numbers that add even more emphasis to what I said above:
*33%, a full one third, of the list of 162 asteroids are bunched up into just three zodiac signs - Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries.
*Aquarius, Pisces and Aries are just 33% of the Zodiac wheel.
That is a tremendous concentration of astrological bodies jammed up in a very small segment of the wheel. It bears repeating that the “Bundle” is the rarest form of all Zodiac wheel layouts.
Furthermore, of the 58 planets, points, and asteroids in Aquarius, Pisces, and Aries, 70% of them carry feminine energy. This is one of the most overwhelming arrangements of the astrological characters that I have ever seen! I will repeat a few things I wrote two weeks ago to drive the point home:
“All of these feminine powers are lined up in a bundle formation in Aquarius and Pisces. A bundle is characterized as being concerned with a narrow focus.
I can interpret this two ways. The first is that the world is due to be influenced HEAVILY by its women. The second is that sometimes the individuals or groups can, and do, claim their sovereignty and refuse to be driven by the collective consciousness- therefore changing it - like the ripple of a stone thrown into a pond.
.This new cycle that is triggered may very well find feminine energy growing in response to the continuing rise of the Divine Feminine, and as a counteracting agent to a very long time of suppression in most, if not all, Earth cultures.
Victor Hugo was quoted as saying,”Nothing else in the world…not all the armies…is as powerful as an idea whose time has come.”
These are my closing thoughts;
We have the dreams and psychic energies of the end of one zodiac cycle, Aquarius and Pisces, leading into the new enthusiastic beginning of another, Aries.
We are living through very contentious times with wars, political and social upheaval, and the cusp of the new Aquarian Age. Now we have overwhelming astrological energies practically shouting at us from a very narrow area of space saying,”Hey, look over here. We can help. We have ancient wisdom for you. We can help you remember!”
Most of that energy is characterized as feminine, including cooperation, collaboration, nurturing, sharing, peace, grace, flowing, etc. We are being guided toward these ways of living, with a great deal of support. May we use it as much as possible to help us find our Godspeed.
