Weekly Forecast February 16: Mars conjunct Jupiter, Sun enters Pisces
Does anyone else feel like the past week contained several weeks compressed into one? Eclipses will do that. I’m still reeling from this latest pair.

Ask Real Astrologers: Moon’s Nodes in Synastry
Our question this week comes from Jennifer. How would you recommend someone handle synastry where someone’s planet is conjunct another person’s node?
