I am not sure when, or if, I shall go back to the daily symbol-charts, but for now it seems my interests gravitate to the Fortnightly charts. 

Now: February 16-March 2, with Full Moon of Pisces-Virgo at the center

Next: March 3-16, New Moon of Pisces at the center

Then: March 17-April 1, Full Moon of Aries-Libra at the center

We covered the Now fortnight last week and repeated the coverage in the Weekend report, which you might want to re-read, copy, print or bookmark. 

I have just set up the charts for the next two Fortnights. Briefly: I believe that the easiest or most reassuring and progressive of the two will be the later, March 17-April 1 Fortnight. True, the next Dark Hermetic Epoch begins then, on March 18th, but still things look smoother. I believe that the March 3-16 Fortnight will be rather covert, not frantic but confusing, good for gradually sorting things out with the old-fashioned faith of a man walking in the dark with a lantern. Then the March 17-April 1 Fortnight, with very few hard aspects, looks like a breeze in some ways, even though one of the symbols is one of the worst of the 1080. We'll get to that later. 

Ultimately, though the human tendency is to hope for smooth sailing, we have to eat the bitter herbs with the sweet nectar at all points; astrology helps us to do that gracefully. 

As for Monday: The sun and Mercury joining Saturn mean that we are solidly focused on major goals. This is soberness and resolve. Because they are sextile Jupiter, help is available when needed. 

Mars and Venus together in Aquarius can be playful erotic feelings, especially when Luna trines them from Libra in the evening. 

Venus and Mars are square Jupiter, Mars exactly so, and as I've pointed out the great astrologer CEO Carter said this was the hardest of all aspects. We are at a bitter turning point in the Israel-Hamas war and in the Ukraine-Russia war. Neither offers easy resolution, but what are squares for but to force an opportunity for resolution rather than more violence? Apart from actual war there can also be debate and it can be angry. However, that square does give energy and excitement which can be channeled into good deeds or creative projects. In some ideal world it could be the beginning of negotiation and resolution.
