Weekly Overview
02.19-25.2025
Mars goes direct on the 23rd of February, and now so much of what has happened over this very long retrograde will bear greater consequences. Watch out for flaring tempers and things starting to move very quickly all of a sudden. Do your best to stay connected to your motivations, as it will keep you on track for acting in ways that reflect what’s important to you and not just your ego.
As always, tune in to the latest episode of my twice-weekly astrology and advice show below, or read the transcript right here.
Previous Week
This week, Mars, your ruling planet, goes direct after a very long retrograde, and you’re likely to be feeling a sense of relief as your energy has greater ease of flow. Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve learned over the past several months so that you can apply it to whatever needs your care and attention this week. Don’t seek control or dominion; seek only to act in ways that reflect what’s true for you and your priorities, Aries.
Navigating through your fears consciously requires that you reflect on what’s underneath your greatest concerns. This is especially hard to do because it requires sitting with the very things that have you shook. Invest in your ability to respond with care and integrity by exploring what’s real, what needs attention, and what is best left alone for now, Taurus.

You can’t control your circumstances, but you can commit to engaging with your reactions with more patience, empathy, and kindness, Twin Star. As a person who is capable of exploring many different ideas from so many different angles, you can sometimes lose track of the emotions if you’re not careful. Give yourself the space you need to sit with your feelings; you will not only feel better, but you will also be better equipped to make use of the data and how you handle it this week.

It’s not enough to know a thing; you also need to embody it, and that is really challenging. Sometimes it’s hard because you have ingrained habits, and other times it’s hard just because it’s hard. This week, you are being challenged to slow down enough so that you can be intentional about what you do, why, and how you do it. You have the potential to grow, but you must seize it, Moonchild.

Tell the truth, Leo. All you can do is show up and express what is authentic to you. What you can’t do is control how other people will feel about it or what they’ll do in response. Don’t confuse your right to say what’s real for you with other people needing to support it. Instead, be prepared to meet others where they’re at, as you ask them to do the same for you.
You’ve put the ball in motion, and now it’s time to take a step back and see what happens. If you haven’t initiated changes recently, you’ve probably got a pretty motivating reason why. In that case, this is an important time to reflect on whether or not your reasons stand. Things are changing, and it’s important that you face this head-on and actively co-create the future you want to live in, Virgo.

There’s so much that you can’t know that is literally unknowable, and no horoscope or plan or wise counselor can change that. So much of what life is about is how we navigate the things that we don’t yet understand or haven’t fully developed. Engage with your anxieties over the unknowable consciously this week so that you are honoring the present and what you do know today with the bulk of your energy.

If you are feeling stuck in fearful thinking and can’t stop ruminating this week, the best thing for you to do is to slow down and connect or reconnect with your body. This is not only a good practice for your overall health, but it’s also a way to ground into the present moment and access the resources that you have collected for navigating both self-care and life as it unfolds. Make sure to use the tools you’ve got, Scorpio.
This week, you may find it confusing to navigate between doing what you want and honoring the needs of others. If you’re going to act in ways that stir up opposition and drama, that is not necessarily good or bad; it all depends on your motivations, willingness, and ability to navigate the consequences of your actions. Be open to important conversations this week, and make sure that you are really listening to others.

How you rise to meet the occasion is what defines you, not your circumstances. This is a valuable time for you to honor your fears without centering them in your thinking and actions. This is much easier said than done, but making it a practice is what will not only help you this week, but in life. Be brave enough to stay aligned with your values and actions, and spring from them for best results, Capricorn.

Here’s the thing about sadness: if you don’t allow yourself to experience it when you’re feeling it, it can leak out and impact you in other ways. This week, that may look like feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or doing things that are ultimately not very healthy that create secondary problems to what you’re actually feeling sad about. Don’t be so much in your head that you abandon your heart and its very real needs this week, Aquarius.
It’s okay to be of many minds. Life is complicated, and having complicated—and even contradictory—takes is sometimes the most real you can be. This is a good time for you to sit with complexity, Pisces. It can be a terrible day where the weather is perfect and you’re receiving lots of support and care; in other words, many things can be true at once. By honoring that, you are centering your ability to be present and address the many layers of what you’re experiencing.
