Weekly Mundane Astrological Climate - Week of February 23 to March 1, 2026

Introduction

You can view global aspects for any day and time using the Transits application, in simple chart mode after deselecting angular aspects in the form. Positions and aspects are calculated from Monday to Sunday at 12:00 PM UT.

The orb for major planetary aspects is set at three degrees. For the true North Node and Lilith, true positions are used. Minor aspects are excluded from interpretation due to their limited influence.

Planetary aspects shape the global context, influencing politics, economics, and social trends. Lunar aspects are not included here, as their brevity makes them too fleeting for a weekly analysis.

The same applies to the North Node, Lilith, and Chiron, whose influence through aspects remains insufficiently demonstrated.

This is not a personal horoscope but a form of mundane astrology highlighting planetary influence on a collective scale.

The week of February 23 to March 1, 2026 unfolds in a climate dominated by the gradual establishment of the Pisces tone, now fully supported by the Sun's progression and the planetary concentration in this sign. The general context remains structured by a limited number of short-term aspects, allowing underlying trends to remain clearly identifiable while introducing several phases of adjustment linked to changes in the motion of certain planets.

The overall picture thus reveals an atmosphere combining heightened sensitivity, a search for harmony, and tensions related to ongoing transformations. Mercury's shift into a retrograde phase inaugurates a period of reassessment in exchanges and recent orientations, while Venus's aspects to Jupiter and Uranus support rapprochement, openness, and relational adjustments. At the same time, the Mars–Uranus square introduces a more nervous component, likely to trigger abrupt reactions or rapid changes of direction in response to material constraints.

The Moon, moving successively from Taurus to Gemini, then from Cancer to Leo, strongly modulates the collective atmosphere between a search for stability, increased mobility, emotional sensitivity, and more demonstrative self-expression. This progression accompanies a climate oscillating between the need for security, reactivity to events, and a growing tendency toward personal expression and affirmation.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Short-Term

Planetary Positions – Fleeting Influences

• The Sun, from 4°53' to 10°54' Pisces, progresses through Pisces and emphasizes a general tone marked by sensitivity, receptivity, and the importance of emotional and symbolic dimensions. The collective climate favors intuition, imagination, and empathic dynamics, with increased attention given to feelings and surrounding atmospheres. This configuration encourages creativity and inspiration, while making reference points more fluid and directions less clearly defined.
• Mercury, from 21°56' to 21°44'Я Pisces, slows down significantly and turns retrograde on Thursday, February 26, initiating a phase of review and reassessment in areas related to exchanges, information, and mental processes. Thought retains an intuitive and global orientation, but perceptions may become more hesitant or subject to reinterpretation. This movement calls for caution in communications, careful verification of data, and a return to recent situations or decisions to refine understanding.
• Venus, from 16°21' to 23°50' Pisces, continues its progression through Pisces and reinforces a relational dynamic marked by sensitivity, compassion, and a search for harmony. Connections develop within a more receptive climate that is more attentive to emotional needs, encouraging altruistic impulses and sincere rapprochement. This configuration supports the expression of feelings and conciliatory initiatives, while also exposing tendencies toward idealization or an overly subjective perception of emotional or material situations.
• Mars, from 24°25' to 29°08' Aquarius, continues its progression through Aquarius and maintains an action-oriented dynamic focused on innovation, experimentation, and collective projects. Energy is mobilized around original initiatives, with a strong desire for independence and a willingness to transform established frameworks. This climate supports bold undertakings and innovative strategies, while potentially heightening tension when constraints or resistance hinder the momentum for change.
• The Moon, from 21°27' Taurus to 16°02' Leo, moves successively through Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, and then Leo, significantly modulating the collective atmosphere. In Taurus, at the beginning of the week, it favors emotional stability, the search for security, and practical concerns. Its passage through Gemini then stimulates curiosity, mobility, and exchanges, before its entry into Cancer intensifies sensitivity and attachment to familiar reference points. Finally, its passage through Leo, beginning on Saturday, February 28, encourages personal expression, emotional affirmation, and a more demonstrative tone.

Planetary Aspects of the Week – Short-Term Climate

• Venus (Pisces) trine Jupiter (Cancer) establishes a warmer and more generous relational climate, encouraging rapprochement, emotional impulses, and gestures of solidarity. Social, emotional, or financial exchanges may benefit from a dynamic of openness, trust, and mutual protection, with a search for harmony and shared understanding. This aspect supports agreements and conciliatory initiatives, while also potentially encouraging a certain indulgence or idealized expectations in commitments.
• Venus (Pisces) sextile Uranus (Taurus) introduces a more lively and spontaneous relational dynamic, marked by a need for renewal, freedom, and experimentation. Connections may evolve unexpectedly, encouraging original encounters, bold initiatives, and constructive changes in emotional or material matters. This aspect stimulates creativity and openness to new experiences, while promoting gradual adjustments rather than abrupt disruptions.
• Mars (Aquarius) square Uranus (Taurus) intensifies a climate of tension and unpredictability, with a tendency toward abrupt reactions, impulsive initiatives, and resistance to constraints. The drive for action confronts material realities or established structures, which may trigger conflicts, blockages, or sudden changes of direction. Nevertheless, this aspect stimulates the will for transformation and necessary reassessment, while calling for careful management of impatience and excess haste.

Planetary Positions and Aspects – Longer-Term

Planetary Positions – Medium-Term Climate

• Mars, from 24°25' to 29°08' Aquarius, progresses through Aquarius and establishes a more reactive, more independent action-oriented dynamic focused on experimentation. Collective energy is readily mobilized around original initiatives, innovative projects, or positions asserting a desire for renewal. This configuration reinforces the need for autonomy, intellectual boldness, and rapid response, while potentially increasing impatience with delays, perceived unnecessary compromises, and resistance to change.
• Jupiter, from 15°29'Я to 15°14'Я Cancer, continues its retrograde motion and maintains a climate of review and refocusing on issues of protection, security, and collective cohesion. Expansive dynamics give way to more cautious reflection on family, social, and community foundations, with increased attention to what must be consolidated or readjusted. This phase favors the stabilization and strengthening of existing foundations rather than the pursuit of rapid growth or immediate results.
• True Lilith, from 8°02' to 23°54' Sagittarius, continues its progression through Sagittarius and highlights issues related to convictions, beliefs, and the quest for meaning. Unconscious dynamics are increasingly oriented toward the exploration of values, ideals, and worldviews, encouraging a questioning of established certainties and a more assertive search for truth. This configuration may stimulate a drive toward intellectual emancipation and the affirmation of principles, while also exposing tendencies toward more rigid positions or ideological tensions when viewpoints clash.

Planetary Positions – Long-Term Climate

• Saturn, from 1°05' to 1°47' Aries, progresses through Aries and confirms the establishment of a new underlying cycle oriented toward initiative, decision-making, and the implementation of emerging dynamics. The collective climate places greater emphasis on responsibility in action, the clarification of priorities, and the establishment of frameworks suited to new situations. This configuration favors a more direct organization of efforts and a willingness to relaunch processes where inertia or indecision had prevailed, while imposing increased demands for rigor and coherence in collective commitments.
• Uranus, from 27°38' to 27°45' Taurus, continues its direct progression through Taurus and further unfolds its effects of change in material, economic, and environmental matters. The collective climate remains marked by concrete adjustments, sometimes destabilizing, aimed at transforming systems of security, production, and resource management at a deep level. This dynamic encourages the emergence of innovative solutions and pragmatic reorientations, even as resistance to change remains significant.
• Neptune, from 0°51' to 1°04' Aries, advances through the first degrees of Aries and confirms the opening of a new underlying cycle. The collective climate remains imbued with uncertainty and blurred areas, yet it is accompanied by a more assertive need for momentum, direction, and the mobilization of ideals. This transitional phase marks the gradual shift from a logic of dissolution to a dynamic of initiative, even if the contours of this impulse are still taking shape.
• Pluto, from 4°23' to 4°33' Aquarius, continues the establishment of profound structural transformations affecting collective organizations, networks, and balances of power. The changes underway are part of an irreversible long-term dynamic, with a growing questioning of systems that have become obsolete.

The climate highlights vulnerabilities associated with action, confidence, and collective identity, while encouraging a more direct awareness of these sensitive areas. This dynamic supports a gradual integration of the tensions revealed, with the possibility of transforming vulnerabilities into levers for adjustment and maturation.
• The True North Node, from 8°59' to 8°59' Pisces, turns retrograde on Wednesday, February 25, then resumes direct motion on Saturday, February 28, marking a sensitive phase of adjustment in the dynamic of collective orientation. This movement underscores a period of reassessment of symbolic reference points and priorities, with a temporary return to previously engaged issues before a gradual resumption of evolutionary momentum. This development encourages a more conscious integration of recent experiences and a gradual clarification of collective direction.

Long-Term Planetary Aspects – Enduring Trends

For this week of February 23 to March 1, 2026, the sky retains most of its lasting configurations, now fully organized around Saturn's recent entry into Aries. The Saturn–Neptune conjunction, established in Aries, continues the reshaping of collective reference points by seeking to translate ideals still under construction into more concrete, more deliberate dynamics oriented toward action.

The major currents between the slow-moving planets maintain a coherent underlying dynamic, combining a demand for realism, inspiration, and gradual adaptation, still without the support of the now inactive Jupiter–Saturn trine. Harmonious exchanges involving Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto continue to accompany gradual transformations, with a more assertive intention to initiate change without provoking abrupt disruptions. Configurations involving Saturn reinforce the strategic and decisive dimension of this phase, firmly rooted in the long term.

• Saturn (Aries) sextile Uranus (Taurus) encourages the gradual evolution of collective structures by combining initiative with pragmatic innovation. This aspect facilitates the adaptation of existing frameworks to ongoing changes and supports a controlled modernization attentive to material constraints and concrete realities.
• Saturn (Aries) conjunction Neptune (Aries) marks a phase of profound reorganization of symbolic and institutional reference points, with a dynamic oriented toward impulse and implementation. Ideals are confronted with concrete realities, while a stronger need emerges to provide direction to aspirations still in the process of definition.
• Saturn (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) strengthens the capacity to transform collective frameworks durably through deliberate and strategic decisions. It supports a gradual assumption of control over processes of change, with an increased determination to reshape organizations, rules, and balances at a deep level, without yielding to haste.
• Uranus (Taurus) sextile Neptune (Aries) connects innovation and inspiration within a more proactive dynamic. This aspect encourages creative solutions applicable to the collective and promotes the emergence of new approaches capable of translating intuition and vision into concrete and progressive transformations.
• Neptune (Aries) sextile Pluto (Aquarius) acts upon collective consciousness by instilling a more deliberate and assertive dynamic of transformation. It supports a gradual shift in social reference points and the integration of new paradigms, with a tendency to initiate rather than merely accompany ongoing developments.

Conclusion

The week of February 23 to March 1, 2026 concludes in a climate marked by a phase of reassessment and clarification, under the influence of Mercury's retrograde motion and occasional tensions linked to ongoing dynamics of transformation. The general atmosphere remains imbued with Pisces sensitivity, encouraging a more intuitive approach and greater attention to the emotional and symbolic dimensions of collective developments, while maintaining a need for adaptation in the face of change.

With a Moon in Leo at the end of the week, the collective climate turns toward a more assertive expression of emotions and initiatives, emphasizing visibility, creativity, and personal affirmation. After the phases of withdrawal, reflection, or heightened sensitivity of the preceding days, this configuration supports a clearer resurgence of collective momentum, even as balances remain in the process of adjustment.

In the background, lasting configurations among the slow-moving planets continue to structure a profound collective shift, combining renewed momentum, lasting transformation of reference points, and the strategic reorganization of structures. The period thus concludes with a time of reassessment and maturation, preparing developments set to become more clearly defined in the weeks ahead.
