Wednesday 18th February
The Moon continues to deepen into the constellation of Aquarius, having moved in front of the Sun yesterday to cause a solar eclipse. Today, it conjuncts Venus and then goes on to occult Mercury. The Moon moves through the zodiac each month, while some planets take years to pass through a single sign, meaning the Moon forms conjunctions with — and occasionally occults — these planets many times over the course of a year. Each of these meetings subtly alters the quality of the day, as the Moon briefly gathers and refracts the planetary influences before carrying them onward through its rhythmic journey.
