On February 22nd, Venus and Mars will form a conjunction in the sign of Aquarius, providing an ideal opportunity for manifesting love and creativity. This date is particularly harmonious, as it falls on 2/22 (AKA 222), which is a time for advancing relationships and exploring our innermost talents. Following this, on February 23rd, Mercury will move into Pisces, igniting our imagination and intuition. The full moon in Virgo occurs on February 24th, helping us to heal. Later in the day, Venus will square Jupiter in Taurus, heightening our romantic sentiments. On February 27th, Mars and Jupiter will unite, pushing us to take on more activities enthusiastically.

Witch tip:

To honor the marriage of Venus and Mars on February 22nd, you can perform a candle magic ritual. Begin by taking a pink candle and carving the symbol for Venus, and a red candle while carving the symbol for Mars. Pink and red are the colors that represent each planet. Place a white candle in the center of the other two. Light the pink and red candles and meditate on what you want to add to your romantic or creative life or what projects you want to start and call in the energy of these planets. After these candles burn completely, you can light the white candle to manifest new beginnings with these planets and your visions.

Aries

You may feel lost under the tides. However, it would help if you didn't let the watery energy dampen your spirits. If you need to take some time to relax and rest, then go ahead and do so to restore your energy. Remember, each day differs from the next, so give yourself a chance to recharge and regain strength. Listen to your body and mind.

Taurus

Understanding your feelings towards situations is crucial. It is possible that you may realize that being judgmental is not the way you want to live your life and that you need to be more accepting of others. This is a transformative period in your life, where you can evolve your beliefs and make significant changes in your approach toward understanding those you care about.

Gemini

Don't overestimate others' abilities and give them more credit than they deserve. It's okay to feel frustrated and express your thoughts when necessary. Never let anyone manipulate your emotions. Learn how to stand up for yourself and hold your ground. Doing so will be beneficial in matters of the heart to ensure you aren’t taken for granted or advantage of by anyone in your realm.

Cancer

This week presents a unique opportunity for you to wield your power and authority through your inner strength and knowledge. If you find yourself doubting your instincts, try meditating to gain clarity. It's up to you to make sure that you’re in alignment with what you know to be true rather than relying on what other people say. Only then can you understand your capabilities.

Leo

Sometimes, you have to give up control and know that things are beyond what you can temper. Instead of fighting against the chaos; it's OK to embrace it and to know that nothing is perfect. Think of this week as a learning experience, as most things in life can be a little bit messy in order for you to fix them and make them better.

Virgo

You don't always have to be right to prove your point. At times, everyone is wrong once in a while, as you are, too. Therefore, you shouldn't fight an argument to the death of it. Try to understand another's point of view and reach a compromise. This tactic and choice will be handy since your recent stubbornness is holding you back from evolving and growing.

Libra

As the week progresses, you may notice that things are falling into place with less effort. However, it's crucial to keep striving for self-improvement and honing your craft to stay ahead of the competition. Also, make sure that you are continually pushing yourself toward becoming a better version of yourself. Avoid becoming too comfortable and complacent. Aim to embrace new challenges with enthusiasm.

Scorpio

Effective communication is essential to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. When miscommunications occur, it is extremely important to address the issue and identify the root cause to ensure clear understanding. Failing to do so may result in prolonged arguments and disagreements, as both of you may be unwilling to see eye to eye on matters. This will also help you transform your communication and do better.

Sagittarius

During the initial stages of manifesting your visions, it's important to take some time to reflect on what you want to achieve and discuss it with others. Seeking their opinions and feedback can be helpful, and you may find most of their comments to be useful. However, if there's anything that doesn't resonate with you, feel free to disregard it and make your own decisions.

Capricorn

Assessing your finances is a great way to boost them. You may discover that you need to be more mindful of your spending and that you're not in as much financial trouble as you believed. To keep your finances in check, make sure you're living within your means and always sticking to a budget. Then, you can start to establish a healthy dynamic with money,

Aquarius

You might want to hold back your tongue when it comes to saying everything that's on your mind. Although you hate conflict, you're finding that the words that you're expressing are causing more harm to others than being helpful. It's not that you're lashing out, but you're being extremely direct, and you want to be a little chiller, so you should think before you speak instead of putting your foot in your mouth.

Pisces

The week ahead is the most auspicious time for you to start the healing process. You will be able to process information from the past on a deeper level and have a new perspective on the situation. The more you allow yourself to focus on augmenting your body, mind, and south. Acknowledging situations or issues and noting your feelings towards them will be very helpful.
