Life weaves moments of challenge into our days, moments that sometimes compel us to withdraw into ourselves. Fear, born from a sense of threat, urges us to build walls—walls that protect, but also separate us from those closest to us. It is human. When faced with crises, isolation often becomes a natural response—a need to retreat inward in search of balance. Yet, this week invites us to a different path. It reminds us that our strength does not emerge from solitude but from connection with others.

For when the crisis passes, there comes a time to step out from behind those walls, to reach out, and to rediscover the bonds that still echo softly within our hearts. Family—both the one linked to us by DNA and the one we have chosen as our community—awaits. It waits with love that never judges, with supportive arms ready to accept us just as we are. And what is most needed is the courage to be authentic—to reveal ourselves in truth, with all our shadows and all our scars.

This week encourages us to open ourselves to love that soothes and to support that sustains us through difficult times. It reminds us that in fully accepting ourselves—with our fears, doubts, and mistakes—we find the path to deeper relationships. It is precisely in the moment when we show our true selves that we create space for genuine connection with another person. Only then can love, like warmth on a frosty day, melt the snow, find its place, and expand in our lives.

Let us not fear to trust. Let us not fear to open ourselves. At the end of this path lies something extraordinary—the closeness that nothing else can replace.

Monday

Square between Mercury in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus

Influence ≈ February 9–12

Peak: February 10, 8:56 PM Warsaw / 12:56 PM Santa Fe

The week begins with tension between intellect and impulse, between genius and rebellion. Mercury mirrors back our words—perhaps dazzling, yet tinged with judgment and rationalizations that fracture empathy. Add to this the energy of Uranus in Taurus—stubborn, restless, and destabilizing—particularly in matters of security and material resources—sometimes purely for the sake of disruption. Communication might feel chaotic, with one-sided conversations, prejudices taking the lead, and an urgency for quick responses instead of deep understanding.

This square, albeit challenging, carries a vital lesson—patience, both with ourselves and others. It reveals that true connection demands courage to go beyond familiar patterns and recognize the uniqueness of each person, situation, or event.

Tuesday

Square between the Sun in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus

Influence ≈ February 9–13

Peak: February 11, 8:30 PM Warsaw / 12:30 PM Santa Fe

When two powerful energies like the Sun and Uranus collide, we encounter an inner storm of desires and tension. The Sun illuminates our yearning to feel special, and energizes our ambitions, yet within the square, it may trap us in arrogance or an overinflated ego. Meanwhile, restless Uranus in Taurus rejects stability, drawing us toward chaos, revolution, and purposeless upheaval.

Vitality could feel unpredictable, fueled as much by passion as by frustration. Expressing yourself? It might be deeply creative and inspiring or turbulent, determined to assert its presence at all costs. This aspect reminds us that harmony is born from acknowledging tension, and true power emerges when we balance vision with patience.

Trine between Mercury in Aquarius and Black Moon Lilith in Libra

Influence ≈ February 10–13

Peak: February 11, 9:45 PM Warsaw / 1:45 PM Santa Fe

The trine between Mercury in Aquarius and Black Moon Lilith in Libra brings a sense of harmony, but it acts as a mirror reflecting our deepest fears. Communication during this time carries an undercurrent of seeking belonging—a need so strong it might spark fears of never fitting in. Mercury, sharp and objective, supports clarity of thought, but in Lilith’s company, it stirs questions about our sense of worth in the eyes of others.

Though your words may be well-considered, they might betray unease—will you be accepted? This aspect works in a self-fulfilling way; the more you feel excluded, the stronger your desire to find your place. At the same time, it teaches that true understanding, both of yourself and others, begins when you stop seeking validation externally and instead honor your unique essence.

Wednesday

Full Moon in Leo

February 12, 2:54 PM Warsaw / 6:54 AM Santa Fe

The Full Moon in Leo radiates energy, courage, authenticity, and a heart brimming with passion. This is a moment where you might feel like you’re stepping onto the stage of your life, ready to reveal your true self to the world. However, a square with Uranus in Taurus may stir unexpected emotions or events. It disrupts comfort zones, urging you to break free from what limits your freedom.

These tensions can inspire change, though they might also generate frustration or restlessness. At the same time, a sextile to Black Moon Lilith in Libra offers a chance for reflection on relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and releasing the pressure to conform constantly.

This is a perfect time to ask yourself what truly comes from your heart versus what is driven by external pressures. Avoid impulsive reactions; instead, choose to quiet your mind and listen inward. Practices like meditation, journaling, or creative expression are great tools to explore who you are. Allow space for your needs to emerge and deepen your connections, starting with respect and self-compassion. This Full Moon teaches that the most beautiful transformations begin with a simple act of courage—being yourself.

Thursday

Trine between the Sun in Aquarius and Black Moon Lilith in Libra

Influence ≈ February 1–16

Peak: February 13, 10:30 PM Warsaw / 2:30 PM Santa Fe

There are moments when an inner light blooms within us, yearning to be seen. The trine between the Sun in Aquarius and Black Moon Lilith in Libra opens pathways for creative self-expression to shine brightly while urging us to confront our fears. The Sun inspires self-love and the authentic expression of who you are. Meanwhile, Lilith whispers softly, reminding you of the compulsive urge to conform in search of others’ approval.

This harmonious alignment invites you to understand that you don’t have to choose—you can honor your true self while remaining open to the dynamics of relationships. It is a time to express yourself in ways aligned with your soul, stripping away roles that don’t fit. Your vitality lies in this authenticity.

Mercury Enters Pisces

Active ≈ February 14—March 3

February 14, 13:06 Warsaw / 5:06 Santa Fe

When Mercury leaves Aquarius and steps into the mystical realm of Pisces, our communication adopts a new rhythm—less logical, more flowing from the heart. This is a time when the need for intellectual rebellion and the creation of unique ideas gives way to deeply listening—to ourselves and to others. Where precise plans once stood, now lies space for dreams, symbols, and unspoken emotions.

Aquarius taught us to be open to the new, to share ideas in groups, and to question the status quo. But Pisces asks us to pause in this race—to look deeper, at things invisible to the eye but deeply felt by the soul. It is a time for intuitive decisions, expanding sensitivity, and building spiritual connections with others.

Learning now becomes more of the heart than the mind—as though we absorb feelings between words and moments. It is an invitation to tune in to the melody of the inner world.

Saturday

North Node moves directly in Pisces

Influence ≈ February 15–20

February 15, 2:09 PM Warsaw / 6:09 AM Santa Fe

As the North Node in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo briefly shift to direct motion, time seems to pause, offering a moment for a deep breath and reflection. It’s as if the Universe is sending a quiet message: “Look at where you’re going and what you’re leaving behind.”

The North Node in Pisces calls us to follow our intuition, trust, and flow, to open our hearts to a greater sense of unity. The South Node in Virgo, meanwhile, reminds us of the traps of perfectionism, nitpicking, and control, urging us to release them to find harmony.

This rare direct motion, contrary to their usual rhythm, offers a moment of review—a new perspective on your evolution. These days are best spent contemplating your path, and identifying which habits nurture your growth and which hold you back. It’s a chance to trust in what’s hidden deep within your soul.
