Astrological Insights: February 10 - 16, 2025
Making Art as an Altruistic Act
Here are some insights about the opportunities and challenges that this week’s astrology may offer us collectively. If you’re looking to access personalized insights to help you navigate the now, I’d love to do a Stellar Guidance Session or Stellar Constellations Session with you. (And if you’re in the Seattle area, we can meet in person for your session over the next weeks.)
What illumination will this week bring?
Given Wednesday’s Leo Full Moon, we may perceive tensions arising between individuals and the groups of which they are members. The one vs. the many and the many vs. the one may be woven through situations we encounter or read about. One of the questions that this Full Moon may pose is how we can authentically be our self while at the same time being part of and contributing to a network of something larger than our self.
If you are involved in any groups or associations, you may perceive a heightened sense of tension as the organization strives to accommodate the needs of its members along with its own overarching identity and goals. Yet, if outstanding issues are worked upon, there can be great breakthroughs in group dynamics and team building.
Every year at this particular Full Moon I think about the power of creativity (Moon in Leo) to move society forward (Sun in Aquarius). It encourages us to see art as a channel through which we can celebrate life and each other. It’s a force that can dynamically tell stories that shift perspectives and mobilize efforts.
Expressing ourselves and birthing new things into the world then becomes a progressive force that can be seen as an altruistic act, even a civil duty. So, this week, do something creative! Whether it helps you center, connects you to your heart and all that’s circulating through it and/or becomes a way for you to help inspire the efforts of communities with whom you’re aligned, being generative—perhaps even with a bit of color and flourish—may be especially nourishing.
The commonality of surprises and shockwaves may be underscored this week given that Uranus ties into the Full Moon. As such, being adaptable may reduce stress and yield reward. Knowing that not everything may go as planned will allow you to be more flexible and creative to put plan b into motion, should you need.
Try to build some buffer time into your schedule this week, a little additional padding between appointments. This way, for example, if your colleague’s commute is riddled with unexpected traffic, the delay in your meeting won’t have a domino effect on your entire day.
As I’m wont to share when Uranus is strong, be open to taking a detour, embrace the power of the pivot, and Stay Bouncy! And while it may seem on the surface that this Uranus shake-up energy will bring stress, consider how it can also yield great potential: how by adopting a new orientation and pursuing a different path you’ll connect to a greater sense of freedom as well as discover unanticipated creative solutions.

PS. With the Leo Full Moon arriving days before Valentine’s Day, it feels like a week in which we should boldy celebrate all the different expressions of love, and whoever it is that we love, giving ourselves freedom to not limit love to a socially sanctioned definition but rather one that comes straight from our own hearts.

Each draws on my 20-plus years of experience as an astrologer, wellness consultant, writer, and editor.
The first of these offerings is my Astrological Timing Tips for Writers webinar.
In the class, you’ll discover actionable astrological timing strategies to enhance your creative process, move through writer’s block, and identify the most auspicious moments for productivity, outreach, and engagement.
You’ll learn to:
✨ align your writing routine with the lunar phases to boost creativity
✨ spark inspiration by harnessing the energy of the Moon’s signs
