The Cosmic Weather This Week
After last week's dramatic Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, the energy is settling but intense. Here's what's happening:
- Mercury Retrograde in Pisces (Feb 25 â Mar 14): The retrograde continues, asking us to reflect, review, and revise. Don't rush decisions â especially about what the eclipse revealed.
- Sun in Pisces (March 9-10): The Sun moves into Pisces on March 9, heightening intuition, sensitivity, and spiritual connection.
- Venus in Pisces (continuing): Love and values get a dreamy, compassionate overlay. Romance feels more idealistic.
- No major aspects: After last week's intensity, this week is relatively quiet â which gives space to process.
This week is the eye of the storm. Use it wisely.
The Main Theme: Integration
Last week's Lunar Eclipse brought:
- Endings that were already coming
- Revelations about people, situations, or yourself
- A call to release what no longer serves
This week asks: Now what?
The Mercury retrograde in Pisces is exactly what's needed for integration. It's a time to:
- Reflect on what the eclipse showed you
- Journal about your insights
- Review relationships and situations
- Prepare for the next cycle (Mercury goes direct March 14)
The key word is patience. This isn't a week for bold action â it's a week for inner work.
The Major Transits
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces â The Review Phase
Mercury is now in the middle of its retrograde in Pisces â the most introspective phase. What started as confusion in late February should now be becoming clearer through reflection.
This week:
- Inner clarity increases â Insights come through journaling, meditation, or dreams
- Memories resurface â Old patterns or past events may replay for examination
- Communication requires care â Still triple-check messages before sending
- Technology remains unpredictable â Back up files, be patient with glitches
The gift of this retrograde: wisdom through reflection. What feels confusing now will make sense soon.
Sun Entering Pisces â March 9
The Sun enters Pisces on March 9, marking the final stretch of the astrological year (before Aries season begins the new cycle). This is a introspective, sensitive time:
- Intuition heightens
- Emotional sensitivity increases
- Spiritual practices deepen
- The need for rest and solitude grows
Pisces season (March 9 â April 19) is about surrender, not control. Let go. Allow. Trust.

The Week Ahead
This week is a breath after the storm.
Last week's Total Lunar Eclipse brought transformation. This week offers the space to understand what changed â and what it means for your path forward.
Mercury retrograde in Pisces is your ally here. It slows us down enough to process deep shifts. Use it wisely.
The Sun entering Pisces on March 9 adds a layer of introspection. This is not a week for action â it's a week for being. For feeling. For allowing.
Trust that the clarity you need is emerging. It may not arrive all at once â but by week's end (and especially after Mercury goes direct on March 14), you'll understand more than you did last week.
The transformation is happening. You're not the same person you were on March 1. Honor that. Nurture the new version of yourself.
This week asks: What are you becoming â when you stop trying to be anything at all?
