I subscribe to several astrologers, one of them is Chani Nicholas. I received this in my email from her today about the energy of this coming week amd wanted to share. Great insight.
Its Eclipse season...we have a solar Eclipse in Aquarius happening tomorrow (and a Lunar Eclipse visible to us on 3/3). One of the things associated with solar eclipses is the falling of leaders, because in ancient times when the sun went dark it was a great time to attack and bring someone down by surprise. We are certainly seeing that lately.
This coming Friday 2/20 is literally the beginning of a new era with Saturn and Neptune meeting up at 0° of Aries. Strong energy, stay grounded. Think of this like a weather forecast but for energy, be prepared.

"This week, we hard-launch our future. Saturn is meeting up with Neptune for the first time in 36 years. This reality-bending transit is capable of dissolving political systems, world orders, and anything that no longer withstands the deluge of the moment. The positive outcomes may not be immediately obvious, but the seed of a new era is being planted, so believe in the best-case scenarios and our ability to make them happen. And! It’s officially eclipse season (yes, this week is doing the absolute most). The opening eclipse of this series happens on Tuesday. This is the first time we’ve had an eclipse near the North Node in Aquarius in nearly two decades. Expect turbulence, power outages, and wild twists of fate. This eclipse is here to remind us that we can’t forge the future alone — it’s a group project. Eclipses come in surges, so also pay attention to what makes you crash out (and avoid it). At the end of the week, we’re gifted something gorgeous. Venus in Pisces is trining Jupiter in Cancer, and both benefics are in their sign of exaltation. That means luck and fortune will find us every time we make art, make new friends, and embody solidarity. If you have extra energy to work with, give generously where it matters. There are no saviors or shortcuts. But collective care is the magic cure.

While decision-making may not feel totally clear-cut, it comes with a dose of luck today. Favor the projects that let your creativity out to play.

Curveballs and crossroads are incoming. For now, under-schedule yourself and lie low. Big shifts call for big rest.
❣️ February 17th: Venus conjoins the North Node at 5:44 am PT
Do something extra nice for yourself — especially if that idea makes you cringe. The butterfly effect of self-love will keep fluttering for months to come.

Normalize public crying! Feel first, make sense later! Be noncommittal, but make it artsy! Pisces season is here.

Womp, womp. Coming back down to reality may be jarring, but it’s also clarifying. Embrace all bubble-bursting today. You’ll be wiser for it.
