HOROSCOPES: The New Moon means new moves.

Natasha Weber is an astrology genius and has predicted our horoscopes for the week beginning February 23. For more from Natasha, follow her on Instagram and Facebook.

Distraction is the enemy of insight; right now, your sharpest thinking happens when you're alone. Try a silent morning coffee instead of scrolling, or let an evening drive be just you and your thoughts. By Friday's New Moon, your intuition is dialled up — pay attention to recurring dreams, déjà vu, or an oddly specific ad that feels like it's speaking directly to you. Coincidence? Maybe. But you'll know if it's not.

POWER DAY Friday.

A podcast snippet, a comment from a coworker, or even an old post resurfacing in your feed — it's not random if it keeps replaying in your head — it's a sign! Somewhere in there is the push you need. And if Mercury has left you with buffering screens and malfunctioning appliances, good news: the tech gremlins are finally packing up. This week, things work again, including your own sense of direction.

POWER DAY Thursday.

With the new Moon activating the zenith of your chart, a new professional or personal path is emerging. You may consider a career move, reviving an old passion project, or eyeing an application deadline. It feels big because it is big — but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Tuesday is ideal for signing contracts, finalising plans, or saying yes to what's next. Just because you can't predict the entire road ahead doesn't mean you shouldn't take the first step.

POWER DAY Tuesday.

The frustration of Mars retrograde through your sign is ending, but that doesn't mean you should go from zero to 100 overnight. If your to-do list has piled up, tackle it methodically, not manically. Rest is still a priority, especially if you've been running on empty. By the weekend, you'll feel the difference — conversations feel lighter, connections feel easier, and for the first time in a while, you won't need caffeine just to socialise.

What felt like a dead end now seems like a detour. Whether it's a work challenge, a stalled personal project, a creative block, or a tricky conversation, you're seeing new ways forward. By the weekend, your emotional walls come down. A late-night conversation, a journal entry, or even an impulsive text could open the door to deeper trust. Remember, some truths feel heavy when you hold them alone but lighter when shared.

Your relationships are running smoothly this week; friends are loyal, work allies are on the same page, and love is either thriving or showing real potential. But when it's time to take a personal risk, like speaking up in a meeting, reaching out to someone new, or making a move in love, you might second-guess yourself. Don't. A little fear means you're stepping outside your comfort zone, and that's where the real magic happens.

This week, inspiration comes naturally — if you let it. The Moon reminds you that overanalysing kills the flow, so trust what feels right, whether writing, designing, or even revamping your space. Then, the New Moon puts a health trend in your orbit. Maybe it's a supplement, a workout, or a gadget that swears it'll change your life. But before you buy in, ask: is this actually useful or just good marketing?

Asteroid Ceres offers a lifeline for parents this week, whether it's wisdom from a friend who's been there before, unexpected help, or just knowing you're not in this alone. By the weekend, romance sweetens the mix. Couples may rediscover chemistry in a slow dance in the kitchen or a shared joke that only they understand. Singles? A spontaneous plan, a lingering glance, or even a text that makes you think could shift the mood.

When it comes to family, Asteroid Ceres helps you connect the dots, such as why others react a certain way or why some ancestral patterns just won't break. Mars won't let that slide anymore; others will have to step up. By the weekend, relaxation is non-negotiable. No forced socialising and no obligations. Instead, opt for sweatpants, your favourite meal, and a guilt-free early bedtime. Declining plans? Perfect. Let yourself not be available for once.

The Moon stirs up big feelings, but instead of letting them overwhelm you, channel them into action. If you're single, surface-level flings won't do. If it doesn't have potential, why waste your time? Mars pokes passion, which could mean fireworks in a good way… or in a way that forces honesty. Whether it's an overdue tiff or a lusty romp between the sheets, this week, your love life refuses to be dull.

If something sets you off this week, don't dismiss it as "nothing". That irritation, jealousy, or frustration? It's pointing to something deeper. Maybe an old wound, an ignored need, or a situation that's no longer working. On the practical side, finances get a refresh. You could launch a profitable idea or find a way to cut out unnecessary expenses without feeling deprived. Either way, both your emotions and your bank account get a reality check.

If a relationship has been stuck in a cycle of what are we? Mars won't let that drag on. Things begin to shift this week, whether it's a deepening commitment, a necessary ending, or an overdue conversation. And with Friday's New Moon in your sign, it's time to click the refresh button. Launch a passion project, commit to a major undertaking, or leave behind what no longer fits. Change is happening — whether you choose it or it chooses you.

POWER DAY Monday and Friday.
