Weekly Astrology Forecast: Navigating Illusion and Action as Mars Squares Neptune
The week beginning today is bookended by intense planetary aspects, setting a tone of profound transformation followed by a test of discernment. Following today’s seismic Moon-Pluto conjunction, the week’s main event arrives on Thursday, February 12, as Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces.
“This is a classic aspect for confusion, inspired action, or misplaced energy,” says astrologer Maya Vance. “Mars wants to move forward decisively, but Neptune in Pisces clouds the path. It’s easy to act on misinformation or fight for a mirage. The key is to channel this energy into spiritual practice, artistic creation, or compassionate action.”
Zodiac Signs Most Affected This Week
This square will challenge Gemini and Virgo (directly involving Mars) and Sagittarius and Pisces (directly involving Neptune). These signs must be extra vigilant about unclear communication, unrealistic plans, or dwindling motivation.
For everyone, the theme is verifying facts before acting and ensuring your actions align with your deepest spiritual values, not just ego or impulse.
Your Guide to the Planetary Week
Friday, Feb 7: Moon conjunct Pluto – Embrace emotional honesty. A day for purge and rebirth.
Monday, Feb 9: Mercury sextile Saturn – Sharp, practical thinking. Excellent for planning, contracts, and structured communication.
Wednesday, Feb 11: Sun sextile Uranus – A sudden brilliant idea or friendly breakthrough occurs. Stay open to innovation.
Thursday, Feb 12: Mars square Neptune – The week’s hurdle. Avoid gossip, deception, and escapism. Double-check details. Instead, use this for meditation, music, or helping someone in need.
The Bottom Line
This week asks for courage to face deep truths (Pluto) and the wisdom to pause when the way forward is foggy (Mars-Neptune). The cosmic advice is to lead with your heart’s compassion, but let your actions be guided by verified clarity, not just passion or pity. Miracles are possible, but so is misdirection—your discernment is the compass.
