WEEK OF February 20 – 2 6, 2023
You’ll get a double dose of otherworldliness on Monday, February 20, as the year’s only Pisces new moon sends its numinous vibes beaming through the skies—AND your inner world. For some Rams, it might feel you plugged your imagination directly into the power grid. Pay attention to intuitive hits, coincidences, synchronicities and any internal tugs on your psyche: That could be your muse pinging you! It’s hard to actively chase this down, so just stay tuned in and ready to react. With your right brain activated like this, you could tap into some pioneering (and life-changing) inspiration. But resist the temptation to neatly label what’s happening or to try to fit it into any preconceived categories.
To get the most of this expansive lunation, allow your mind to wander freely to observe and record whatever comes, whether it’s visual images, words, music or seemingly meaningless connections. This is how it feels to have your brain firing on all of its creative cylinders! Capture it all in real time without judging it, and trust that it will make sense later. In fact, let it all marinate for up to six months—until the corresponding Pisces full moon on August 30. In the meantime, notice any recurring themes that come up for you that are appealing. How can you follow up? Is there someone who can mentor you or nurture your talent—and maybe invest in your growth? The challenge now is to stretch beyond your comfort zone, letting yourself go with the flow instead of trying to anticipate and control the outcome.
This week also kicks off a most romantic cycle for Rams. Also on Monday, love planet Venus catwalks into Aries, drawing all attention YOUR way! Without even trying, your charisma levels could hit an annual high, turning you into an alluring love magnet. It’s been a full year since you hosted the cosmic coquette in your sign, so make a point of squeezing every juicy drop out of this visit. If you’re in a relationship, you may see your partner in a whole new—exciting—light. This is a great cycle for talking way less and tuning in to more subtle, sensual modes of communication. Single? There’s potential for connection in every glance, smile and casual conversation. (This is true for all Aries, so if you’re attached, check in with your integrity before you do anything you could live to regret.)

Even if you’re flying solo, do a reality check before you go off on any amorous escapades. Love is a precious gift, not something to overindulge in. And of course, that ancient wisdom is as true today as it’s been since time immemorial: You can’t truly love someone else if you don’t love yourself. You may not be 100 percent content with where you’re at professionally or physically, but the key to self-acceptance is learning to cherish yourself where you are right now. Give your body some TLC and book a spa treatment. How you treat yourself (and your body) is a reflection of what you’re willing to receive from relationships.
