Mercury Retrogrades February 17 – March 10

Reprinted from Conscious Calendars

It’s a time of Big Internal Changes

Mercury retrograde is a time to RE-assess, re-view and re-form how we communicate. You can re-connect and change old stories you might have that you did not realize were holding you back. It’s a great time to change how you communicate and connect with your self! I’ve shared some great ways to help this shift below (and more in the extended Astro Forecast). 

We get to RE-new how we connect with our self for the next three weeks. It’s almost another little New Year RE-set for health and well being

Here’s why:

Mercury began retrograding today in Aquarius ~ which is a sign of communication, revolution and of breath. (In the Vedic system, Mercury is in Aquarius!)

Notice what patterns around communication you bump into over the next few weeks – that is your personal theme – it’s where you can shift from an old way of doing things. Just keep committing what you want to shift and it will happen. Be gentle with yourself and these changes will happen easier.

It is a time to review old patterns of how you connect with yourself and what feels good for body and mind. This includes noticing when you feel disconnected or when you might judge yourself so you can gently return to self. It’s a powerful time to listen to yourself and learn how to regulate or check-in with yourself.  Listening and checking in with yourself will help you be creative in how you respond and re-center yourself. You can improve in work and personal relationships when you add listening in new ways. There’s a lot of room for significant improvement during this Mercury retrograde thank goodness!

Vedic Astrology interprets Mercury retrogrades differently. Mercury is the planet of communication, the nervous system and the lungs in Ayurveda. This retrograde helps you change your communication style and connect with new stories about your past. It’s time to change how you connect with yourself and how you express yourself.

It’s Time for New Routines 

Since this Mercury retrograde is so strongly tied to helping our nervous systems (it’s one of our communication highways in the body) through our breath, any breath practice first thing in the morning is going to help you immensely. It will help you connect with your self – in the moment. And this will ripple into your life. 

You can also use a breath practice at other times of the day for your re-set; at the end of the work day or before bed.

Breath Practice examples:

  • Going for a walk in the woods or a place filled with green plants.
  • Adding a small sprint to your walk will help expand those beautiful lungs of yours and your heart-rate variability which is a true marker of heart health.
  • Swimming laps is one of the best ways to regulate the breath and help your nervous system find a calm in the middle of activity. Mercury is also associated with the lungs in Vedic Astrology or Jyotisha.

Powerful Practice in the Extended Astro Forecast

I shared with all of the Conscious Calendars Annual subscribers a sweet, simple and powerful re-set practice. I spent time at the end of the Mercury Retrograde video (one of four videos for February) in the extended Astro Forecast and included the steps in the Mercury PDF (one of four PDFs). Each Forecast segment shares astro insights, themes and often a health tip associated with each event – Full moon, New moon, Mercury retrograde and February Overview. 

It’s time to do things differently.

It’s a perfect time to shift your morning routine or your work-out or health routine.

Look for one thing to change in your routine. Change is good during Mercury retrogrades.

Especially changes that help you get some quiet time or that help you connect with others who are making similar changes. Connect with others in new ways! Change things up. 

It is almost like we are getting a new little re-set early in the year. Can you feel the desire to really go back and do something right or to re-check with an old friend or relationship?

There are so many ways you can find re-newal. Listen in to your heart, you know what you want to shift. Start with easy, small things in your routine, and see what else you are inspired to change!

What in your daily routine could you shift that will help you connect with your breath and connect with yourself? This will give you rewards in both your health and vitality and in your communication with others. When you are connected with yourself, you can communicate clearly, honestly and genuinely. And all of us win when we communicate honestly ~ especially heart to heart. 

Even at work, you can find ways that your daily routine will help you speak with co-workers differently because you might not be as stressed because you added a 5 minute meditation, or a one minute run, or a walk around the block or time in a green, luscious park near your home or work.

Mercury Retrograde connects with this Venus nicely

This weaves perfectly together with Mercury retrograde in February and March with a theme of communicating with yourself in new ways.

It’s time to re-connect with yourself in EASY daily routines that connect you with your breath and an ability to shift and re-set if you need to. When you listen to yourself ~ you can creatively respond to what you need in the moment. 

Venus

Venus brings HUGE support to many for long periods of time in 2020. It’s what I am calling the Golden Zone this year!

Not every year has a Golden Zone, but 2020 has some incredible windows which will catapult certain ascendants (and those with certain karmic cycles) to fame, creating love centered communities, wealth for some, families for others, longer travel for others (where you might live in a local home for a period of time instead of a hotel or hostel), and deep healing and release for others.

Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn

Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn

by Tanaaz0 Comments

This is a great article about Mars and the effect that it has on your zodiac sign. This is reproduced from Forever Conscious.

mars capricorn astrology

On February 13-14th, Mars aligns with the Galactic Center, a supercharged, potent spot in the cosmos. The Galactic Center sits at around 27 degrees of Sagittarius and as Mars crosses this point, it undergoes an upgrade of its energy.

With this upgrade, Mars is vibing high and is preparing to leave Sagittarius, with all this new knowledge and wisdom, for the sign of Capricorn where it will remain until March 30.

Mars has not been in Capricorn since March 2018, but as it enters this earth sign in 2020, it will be joining a slew of heavyweight planets including Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.

Mars combining with these heavyweight planets is going to amplify the energy of this earth sign and help to bring about the high vibrational shifts that are playing out all through the year.

As Mars, fresh off the Galactic Center moves into this busy zodiac of the sky, we may feel a need to look at how we are using our energy, the motivations behind our goals, and what fears may be holding us back or driving our decisions.

As Mars meets both Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto at various points through its journey in Capricorn, it is also going to elevate and energize their vibrations, strengthening their message.

You can read more about the significance of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn and the message they are sharing here.

Mars in Capricorn is a very ambitious placement, but also a methodical one too.

We may feel ourselves needing to slow down in order to achieve our goals. We may find ourselves needing to pay attention to the smaller details before proceeding ahead.

Mars wants us to push past our fears and blocks so we can head out into the world and get things done. Capricorn however, wants us to take our time and ensure the rules, laws, and natural order is followed.

Balancing these energies will be key during this time, and amazing strides can be made if we take our time and ensure we are crossing our t’s and dotting our i’s.

Mars Changing Signs Exercise 

As Mars crosses the Galactic Center and moves signs, it’s also a great time to review and assess your overall energy levels. Here’s a little exercise to help- 

1.) Write down 10 things you do on a daily basis that may zap and deplete your energy levels. If it helps you can start each item on your list with – “It’s exhausting when…”

For many, anxious or repetitive thinking, worrying about the opinions of others, indecision, and fear of making the wrong choice can all be things that deplete energy.

Lifestyle choices like our diet and exercise routine can also play a role as well.

2.) Look at your list and then make it a point to bring awareness to when you notice yourself doing these things throughout the day. You can also think of ways to replace these habits too. 

3.) If you like, you can also further open to these energies by reciting this prayer/mantra- 

“I ask to become aware of all that depletes me. I ask to be drawn to all that nourishes, nurtures and supports my energy levels. I ask to become more mindful of the thoughts I choose to keep. Thank you.”

After repeating the mantra, pay attention to what comes up or where you feel drawn.

While we will all feel this energy, here is a short summary of the themes for your Sun sign. If you know your Rising Sign, read for that too- 

Mars in Capricorn for Your Sign

Aries

This energy will be guiding you to focus on boundaries, but not just the boundaries you need to create with others but the boundaries you need to create with yourself too. Being patient, waiting your turn, letting others lead the way, these are all things you may be called to do under this energy. While it may be frustrating to give up control, see where you can be in an open state of giving and receiving while also having healthy boundaries in place.

Taurus

This energy will be guiding you to let go of perfectionism and just “do”. If you have been holding yourself back because you don’t feel ready or out of fear, this energy may give you the push you need to take a leap of faith and give things a try. Under this energy, think about where you may be holding yourself back out of fear of not being good enough. Think about where you may be aiming for perfectionism that just isn’t attainable. Once you identify any areas, see if you can create a shift by addressing any feelings of shame or just by becoming aware of when they show up.

Gemini

This energy will be guiding you to look after your health and wellbeing, not just on a physical level but on a spiritual level too. Your spiritual connection is deepening and this is a time where you are really being asked to go within and listen to your inner compass. You may have lots of ideas or projects bubbling away in your mind, but it’s your heart that knows the way. As always, if you need some help deciphering what is happening within, begin writing down your thoughts and feelings till you can write no more.

Cancer

This energy will support you find a mentor, coach, therapist, or teacher. If you are looking for any of these things, put your feelers out there during this time as you are sure to get some great leads. If you need some support, this would be a good time to speak up and reach out for help, whether it’s at home or in the office. You can’t do it all alone, and you don’t have to. This is also a time to think about balancing your needs with the needs of others in all the relationships in your life. Don’t burn the candle at both ends.

Leo

This is a great time to focus on your fitness. If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, or just be fit and healthy, this is a great time to make it a priority. This energy will be supporting any new diet or lifestyle plan you may have in mind and helping you to stick with it for the long term. While you may feel amped up under this energy, be aware of burnout or pushing yourself too hard. Be sure to listen to your body under this energy and if you need to rest, be sure to do that too.

Virgo

This energy will spice up your love life and help you to feel more passionate. Channel this energy into your work or relationships. You may find you feel more energized when you spend quality time with your partner or friends. This is also a great time to socialize and put yourself out there- you never know who you may meet. Your creative energy will also be high and you will feel unstoppable. Write all your good ideas down.

Libra

Under this energy, you may be guided to bring an end to bad habits that have been blocking your productivity or zapping your energy levels. Think about what you need to thrive throughout the day and then work on creating a schedule that mirrors that. You may also find yourself needing to have a difficult conversation with a family member or roommate, but you may wish to get your anger out first before approaching them. This energy is also great for cleaning out the clutter from those cupboards.

Scorpio

This energy will be guiding you to speak up however, tread carefully. While you may want to keep it real and say it like it is, you may have to be a little more tactful and use some of that watery energy to bring a little compassion to whatever you have to say. Don’t be hard on yourself during this time either, and if you need, bring some of that soft, compassionate energy towards yourself.

Sagittarius

This is a fantastic time for you to think about ways you can bring in extra income or perhaps add a little extra to your savings account. Open yourself to receiving as this energy can be positive for your finances. On a deeper level, this energy will guide you to release any fears you may have around your self-worth and feelings of acceptance. We all feel like we don’t belong sometimes, but you are not alone! There is a tribe out there for you, put yourself out there, be patient, and give yourself time.

Capricorn

This is a 5-star placement for you and a great time to get to work on those projects that may require a lot of your time and patience. The Universe will be giving you a boost of energy, so be sure you are open to receiving it! You may also feel drawn to take a trip, read a book, or take a course that brings about a new level of self-discovery or self-growth. This is also a time where your habits and energy levels are transforming, so make some positive new choices.

Aquarius

This energy is helping you to purge old motivations that no longer serve you. You may find yourself feeling burnt out and in need of some rest and relaxation. Allow this energy to recharge your mind, body, and soul. Be patient with the process and re-evaluate your goals and the driving force behind them. While you may feel like you are not making much progress in the physical world, Mars in Capricorn will be helping you to make progress in your inner world. The inner work you do during this time will propel you further in the future.

Pisces

This energy will be giving you added support to go after your goals and dreams. Take a moment to think about something you would like to do or create this year. Visualize it in your mind, write it down on paper, and then use this Mars energy to set the wheels into motion. In order to step into the vibration of receiving and attracting your dream, find ways to help others achieve theirs. In this flow of giving, you will receive.

Chani Nicholas Eclipse in Cancer

Direct from Chani Nichloas

There is no birth without breaking. No staying the same in the process of creation. The being that brings new life forth will be permanently changed and rearranged.

Eclipse Season demands that we are willing to leave with less armor, revealing more of ourselves. Being alive is a messy business. Fully engaging in the process of life and letting go takes and gives everything. 

On January 10, at 10:21 AM PT, the lunar eclipse in Cancer arrives. It isn’t subtle. It isn’t for the faint of ego. Preciousness won’t protect you and fragility will betray you. A lunar eclipse in Cancer is emotionally potent. It makes us bare the base, revealing all of our needs that lay below the surface of our everyday lives. We are revealed so that we can witness ourselves in ways we don’t usually get a chance to. So that we may address the tenderest wounds we have. So that we might care about our condition a little bit more. 

This lunar eclipse is opposing the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, which are all piled up together in Capricorn. A mere 2 days after this eclipse, Saturn and Pluto will make once-in-30-year conjunction, ending one cycle and beginning another. How we spend this time is defining. Saturn and Pluto call all the power dynamics, draconian plutocrats, and patriarchal dinosaurs to the floor. Their antics would simply be comedic if they weren’t potentially life-threatening. White-supremacist patriarchy, and its criminal, corrupt system of harm and exclusion, is in its last throes of life. It is on its way out. This is the time, this is the moment, to dismantle it. Thought by thought. Action by action. One act of loving care towards ourselves, and each other, at a time. 

We must do the hard work of extricating ourselves from the oppressive systems we live within and from all the ways in which they have infiltrated our systems, interior, and exterior. 

Eclipses are pattern setting times. Times of abrupt beginnings and endings. Times when the shadows in our psyches get a chance to be known. Times when our healing is expedited. If we work with it, we can grow in leaps and bounds. In Cancer, this eclipse asks us to care about this moment like it is a portal into everything we’ve ever wanted to manifest. 

Because it is. 

With Uranus stationing direct at the same time as the lunar eclipse, this moment calls for radical care. It asks us to get loud about what needs attention. It asks us to voice our reaction to the pain we are witnessing or experiencing. It asks us to listen to what needs us and what is being asked of us. 

Uranus breaks things. Scheduled programming and finely-tuned plans are no match for this mayhem. Uranus disrupts. It flips the table, flips the switch, and flips a coin on our future. This wheel of fortune is chaotic and exciting, the turbulence knocking things back into place or into a better place than ever before. In this state of disarray, we may be fortunately disarmed and more open to receiving what is coming our way. Rendered vulnerable, less able to control our lives, this time is best spent observing the feelings that arise from the depths and caring for whatever part of us, or our world will be showing up in need of exactly what we have to give. 

Eclipses are well-spent laying a little low. Hanging in the shadows. Cooling off from the heat of life’s relentless pace. It’s the perfect time to give yourself permission to do exactly what you want and need. Without question and with full permission.
