The Current: 02.23.26 - 03.01.26
if you gaze into the future, you'll see that everything works out even better than you imagined.
So, I don’t know about you, but these eclipses are truly exhausting the hell out of me.
I feel like a grizzly bear deep in hibernation. But I suppose that’s the point, isn’t it?
To slow down, to pause and to ground thy self. And to stuff your face with as much goodness as possible.
The more tasks I try to accomplish, the more I am reminded of this universal truth.
Since last week’s great return, several predictions have come to fruition: shocking news about celebrities, the royals and the very anti-climatic announcement about aliens.
Yawn.
If anything was affirmed last week on the world stage, it’s that nothing new is under the sun.
History may not always repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme. A lot.
As we dive deeper into Pisces season this week, nostalgia will be pushed onto the collective more. Old ads re-appearing, throwback parties and playlists galore.
Nostalgia feels good, doesn’t it?
It reminds us of what used to be, and how good we used to have it.
A double-edged sword that can easily brew into regret and sadness.
As Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces this week, it’s important that we remember to hold onto the feel-good feelings while also being mindful of our limits.
Chew the meat, spit out the bones.
Now, let’s talk about divine timing.
Following this past weekend’s 2/22 portal day, we enter this week featuring a planetary parade.
A planetary parade is when the planets align all on one side of the Sun, forming what I like to call pure cosmic alignment.
This week’s upcoming planetary parade will feature 6 planets in alignment with the Sun. In the year of 2026, this feels extra potent and magical!
Should you work rituals on this day?
I believe in free will, do what thou wilt.
Is it necessary? No.
As we are in between eclipses, the cosmos continue to spin the wheel of fortune. Nothing is settled just yet, and that is a good thing.
Surrender to the unknown.
Embrace the vast space of nothingness, that is expanding each day.
This is where endless possibilities are created.
Your destiny is yours, and it desires you as much as you desire it.
Your lane is never crowded, your pace is perfect.
You are right on time.
To doubt this, is to doubt the Divine.
XO,
Loli Moon
This Week’s Current includes Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces, and more importantly, the beginning of a new month! The countdown to the Spring Equinox officially begins.
February 24th: First Quarter Moon in Gemini - 7:28am EST, 4:28am PTD
February 25th: Sun squares Dark Moon Lilith - 10:41pm EST, 7:41pm PTD
February 26th: Mercury stations retrograde - 1:48am EST, 10:48pm PTD (Feb 25th)
February 27th: Sun conjuncts North Node - 12:08pm EST, 9:08am PTD
February 28th: Mercury conjuncts Venus - 12:34am EST, 9:34pm PTD
This week’s themes include fated conversations in our relationships; the kind of conversations that shift the entire dynamic for the better. Discovering new forms of self-devotion and discipline, and breaking up with the bad habits that we may still be carrying since Saturn’s ingress into Aries. Now that the great conjunction of Saturn and Neptune is underway, the final layer of skin from the year of the snake is shedding.
Tuesday, February 24th: First Quarter Moon in Gemini:
This week’s First Quarter Moon in Gemini takes place at the 5°54’ of the mutable sign, squaring off to the Pisces Sun. Because of the early degree of this lunation, the Gemini moon conjuncts Uranus in Taurus too, reminding us that change is always possible. Pluto in Aquarius trines the Gemini moon almost exact, encouraging us to embrace our inner Phoenix. If it wasn’t clear we are in between eclipses, it’s about to get crystal quartz clear now. The nodes of fate, both north and south, square off to the Gemini moon. Growing pains aren’t meant to be numbed out. They are to be felt and pushed through! Like a true fire horse. This First Quarter Moon is ruled by Mercury, who will station retrograde in two days. Pay attention to what you’re paying attention to.
Wednesday, February 25th: Sun squares Dark Moon Lilith
The Pisces Sun squares Dark Moon Lilith in Sagittarius exact today. Remember what I said about your inner Phoenix? Well, they’re ready to be set aflame and take flight! Pisces and Sagittarius are both ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion, luck and beliefs. How deep does your faith run, when you have nowhere to go, but up? When you have no other ritual to perform besides your own rebirth? For those with Pisces and Jupiter placements, this day can feel like major tests from the external world, possibly triggering the ego and its immature thoughts that we’ve outgrown. Reminder to all Pisces and Sagittarius placements; no is a full sentence. Stop over explaining yourself to muggles and mortals who choose to not see you clearly. Their perception of you is not your responsibility. Free yourself.
Thursday, February 26th: Mercury stations retrograde
And just like that, the first Mercury retrograde for the year begins. This Mercury retrograde takes place in the sign of Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. Expect cycles to be cleared, collapse and evolve. It’s time to root ourselves in a new reality where we are our best asset. No more repeating cycles that we know cause self destruction. It’s time to form a new path! When Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, our dreams can appear more vivid, synchronicities are high, and the nostalgia and déjàvu is higher. Distractions, distractions, distractions! The best antidote for this retrograde is to mind the business that pays you. Avoid getting caught up on the trapeze of the circus. Refresh your daily routines and rituals, review goals for the year, reset the algorithm, realign with your highest excitement.
Friday, February 27th: Sun conjuncts North Node
As the Sun and North Node in Pisces become conjunct exact today, the South Node in Virgo sits exactly opposite of the Pisces Sun. This is what I like to call a cosmic crossroads phenomena. Anytime the nodes are activated by personal planets, we may find ourselves starting to question our intentions and the plans we have in place. We may receive downloads to redirect our attention elsewhere, and perhaps step back to review the bigger picture. All adjustments are valid. Avoid nitpicking at your garden, though. Casting a shadow over your seeds is a quick way to stunt their growth.
Saturday, February 28th: Mercury conjuncts Venus
Mercury is officially retrograde, and Venus has some things to get off her chest. This day can bring necessary conversations to our partnerships and relationships, regarding where they’re heading. Makeups, breakups and “breaks” can be expected. If you’re currently in your dating era, remember that what glitters is not always gold. Some red flags are disguised as a bouquet of red roses. Approach all conversations today with patience and compassion, remember that all involved are human (yes, even the muggles). It’s the final day of the month and it’s Saturn’s Day! This is the perfect day to reflect on how this past month has gone in regards to our personal goals and set new ones for the month ahead.
