Today is a mixture of opportunities and challenges – with the auspicious alignments outweighing the potentially discordant ones. Upfront and early is a flowing trine in fire signs linking Mercury in Aries to Juno in Sagittarius (12:54AM PST). Because four other resourceful sky patterns will happen later today, you have an excellent chance to grow, expand and evolve across the board. However, you will want to move past morning tensions that could arise when the Moon is contra-parallel Mars (4:37AM PST) and then parallel to Neptune (6:16AM PST). Some confusion and chaos can be stirred up as the lunar orb contacts these two planets since they will also make a contra-parallel to one another on Monday evening March 12. Meanwhile, a rosier picture brightens this Saturday afternoon and evening as Juno trines Vesta in fire signs (3:03PM PST), Venus forms a supportive, 60-degree link with Chiron (6:29PM PST), Pallas makes a similar rapport with distant Pluto (9:51PM), and Mercury unites with Vesta in Aries (11:21PM PST). The investment scene, holistic healing realm, and the ability to work hard to solve problems are all being promoted. However, the monthly Moon-Saturn union in Libra (7:10PM PST) that also begins a short void lunar cycle in Libra from 7:10PM PST to 9:25PM PST can sow the seeds of self-doubt and short-circuit your well-prepared plans for success. Slow your tempo around the time of the Moon-Saturn conjunction and when the Moon is in its void uncertainty zone. Later on when the Moon enters passionate and intense Scorpio (9:25PM PST), play the role of amateur detective as you ferret out secrets and solve family mysteries.

Today’s Cosmic Calendar for Sunday, February 26th
Romantic partners need to be on alert as the Sun makes a contra-parallel with Venus (1:03AM PST). Of course, this kind of linkage can be either a tug-of-war or an illuminating awareness as it is somewhat similar to a z
odiacal opposition. If you are flying solo and unattached to a dear one, delve into one of your favorite arts or crafts. Slow down as the Moon makes its monthly opposition to Saturn (4:53AM PST) – a potential roadblock that also starts a void-of-course lunar cycle lasting until 6:31AM PST when the Moon enters earthy Taurus. Hit your stride in big business affairs and career pursuits as the Sun parallels Saturn (1:07PM PST). Learn valuable lessons from esteemed mentors and teachers who know the score. A burst of euphoria can arrive later on when the Moon makes its monthly union with Jupiter (7:44PM PST). Attend a play, the ballet, symphony performance, poetry or piano recital. Let your optimistic mind-set rule the roost – particularly as the Sun and Moon lend their support via an invigorating, 60-degree link (10:54PM PST). The love boat sets sail for exotic ports of call after midnight since alluring and magnetic Venus approaches a razzle-dazzle, exciting parallel to often passion-enhanced Mars (forming exactly at 8:54AM PST tomorrow).

Calendar of the Moon
23 Nion/Anthesterion
Diasia: Day of Ua Zit
Color: Black
Element: Earth
Altar: Upon a black cloth set three knives, a sword, and a sickle in the shape of a serpent; two white candles, and a bowl of barley.
Offerings: Any atonement for a wrong done by you, your family, or your ancestors.
Daily Meal: Fasting until the following morning.
Diasia Invocation
We have walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And done wrong to many,
Whether by accident or by design
Or only by our lack of mindfulness.
Before we walked here,
Those who made us walked upon the face
Of this our generous Mother
And did wrong to many,
And their wrongs made them strong,
And their strength gave life to us.
We are born of the pain and toil
Of others, and this price
Is etched into our bones.
There are none truly innocent
Anywhere on the face of the Mother,
And we must all atone
For ourselves and for our blood.
Therefore we shall live always
With this knowledge over us,
We shall share a bed with its presence,
We shall learn to love its painful truth
And yet never become accustomed to it.
We shall work to atone for this legacy
Even if we only do no more harm
Through action or inaction.
We are children of Fate,
And we cannot afford to be blind
To the wrath our footsteps leave behind them.
(All sit on the floor and meditate. At the end of the meditation, the barley is poured as libation.)

Feast of Friends
Colors: Rainbow
Element: Air
Altar: On a cloth of many colors, sewn with symbols of clasped hands, place seven candles also of different colors, and a cup of milk.
Offerings: Colored candles. Offers to be better friends to those both in the house and out of it. Promises to make new friends.
Daily Meal: Any food, preferably simple.
Invocation for the Feast of Friends
Friendship is a light in the darkness,
A call in the wilderness,
A shelter in the storm.
It crosses all boundaries,
It appears where we least expect it,
And it is the first step
Toward opening ourselves
To something new and unexpected.
The friend who is like us
Is like an old comfortable quilt
That lies on our bed
And greets us every night.
Yet the friend who is unlike us
Is like an old comfortable quilt
Found in a stranger’s home
That comforts us
In our homesickness.
May we remember that the one
Is as valuable as the other,
For someday we may need
That spark of friendship
In a strange place
More than we may ever know.
(For this ritual, each steps forward and speaks the name of a friend who has come to be valuable to them, and all respond, “We bless _______ for the gift of friendship.” That day, friends from outside the house may be welcomed in for lunch, dinner, or merely socializing.)
Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, February 23
Stop, look and listen! The cosmos wants you to be patient, calm and receptive to higher guidance. As mentioned in Wednesday’s calendar entry, the Moon in Pisces remains in a void limbo cycle until 6:49PM PST when the Moon enters fiery, independent-minded Aries. There is no need to dash out of the starting gate too soon since tensions are filling up the psychic atmosphere early on as Mercury opposes Mars (3:26AM PST). Reflect on your recent and current investment plans as the Moon unites with Vesta in Pisces (5:13PM PST). It is also wise to review insurance rates and coverage, and make sure your residence has adequate safety and security systems. Relationships are on the questionable side of the astro-psychic spectrum due to a feisty Sun-Juno square from Pisces to Sagittarius (5:37PM PST). Wear kid gloves when handling love bonds. Once the Moon enters Aries (6:49PM PST), your tendency will be to push forward in an assertive, willful manner. However, Vesta makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to Saturn (9:12PM PST) — becoming a further reminder to make sure you are safe at home and that your business affairs are rock-solid

Day of Tacita
Color: White
Element: Earth
Altar: On a white cloth lay a single lit white candle and a bell.
Offering: From the moment of Auge until Hesperis, there is to be a rule of silence in the building. The sole exception is the reading of the invocation. After the Hesperis ritual, silence resumes until the following morning.
Daily Meal: Soft food that does not make crunching noise, such as soups or cooked grains.
Tacita Invocation
Goddess of Silence,
You whose stop the tongue
Before it can speak harm,
Before it can speak lies,
Before it can gossip,
And finally
Before it can say anything
That is not necessary,
Teach us about the still spaces
Between ourselves and each other
Between ourselves and our path
Between ourselves and the Gods.
(The person doing the invocation then rings the bell, and from that moment on, silence reigns again. All sit in meditation about the altar for a time, and each may leave quietly when it seems right.)

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Thursday, Feb. 16th
Put some of those recent challenges behind you as the cosmos gives you something to cheer about when Mercury unites with healing-master Chiron (6:15AM PST) shortly before Mercury teams up in a supportive, 60-degree link with King of the Gods Jupiter (8:08AM PST). Considering that the Moon is still having a joy-fest in adventuresome Sagittarius, this morning’s Mercury-Chiron and Mercury-Jupiter contacts are a pleasure-inducing duo. Give worries and tensions the old-heave. Enjoy your favorite games and sports for an exhilarating change of pace. Think more about pursuing mind-enhancing literary and educational projects especially as the Sun and Moon collaborate well during a supportive, 60-degree liaison (5:09PM PST) and as the largest two celestial bodies in our solar system – the Sun and Jupiter – forge an illuminating contra-parallel (9:02PM PST). However, this latter aspect actually happens right at the close of a void lunar uncertainty cycle in Sagittarius – running from 8:04PM PST until 9:04PM PST. Don’t overdo a good thing during the lunar twilight zone. Once the void time-span is over, Capricorn Moon is your lunar presence for the next 2+ days. Place a serious focus on climbing the ladder of success within your professional realm. You will have some celestial back-up to assist you on both Friday and Saturday.

Strange forces are at the helm during this unusual Valentine’s Day. While Mercury uniting with Pallas in Pisces (3:32AM PST) is terrific for problem-solving and heading off any kind of interpersonal crisis, a void Moon in Scorpio – lasting from 9:05AM PST to 4:57PM PST and starting during the Last Quarter Sun-Moon Phase – adds a giant element of uncertainty across the board. It doesn’t help that normally productivity-enhancing Ceres is making a touchy square to distant Pluto (9:37AM PST) during the void cycle. Finishing old business and projects on a high note is still the recommended course of action while the Moon is completing its monthly transit in Scorpio under dubious circumstances. Pushing your personal agenda at any cost is a no-no. Once the lunar orb enters upbeat, fiery Sagittarius (4:57PM PST), look for the heartfelt silver lining in any remaining romantic cloud cover. Healing vibrations are increasing – thanks to a supportive, 60-degree alliance from Jupiter to Chiron (5:38PM PST). Keep utilizing the happy-go-lucky presence of Sagittarius Moon to give you a fun-filled evening. Assisting you in getting along with dear ones is the monthly Moon-Juno conjunction (10:51PM PST) – amplified by a Venus-Ceres contra-parallel (11:01PM PST). With a little extra sensitivity, love birds can find their way to respectful, caring embraces under the aegis of an optimistic Sagittarian lunar dispensation.
