As the moon waxes toward the end of February 2025, we find ourselves standing beneath a rare & magickal cosmic event, the Great Planet Parade. Seven planets—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, will align in the sky, each channeling its unique energy into our lives, making it a momentous time for us, the magickal souls, to tap into their vibrational frequencies & weave them into our Practice.
I’ve always believed that the cosmos offers us the ultimate tools for spell work and this alignment, happening on February 28th, is a potent moment for manifestation, transformation & deep introspection. Let’s explore how each planet's energy can serve as the foundation for your spell crafting & magickal workings. And how you can align your practices with this "planetary parade" to harness its power.
Mercury in Pisces
Intuition and Divine Messages
Mercury the messenger planet shines brightest when we listen closely to the whispers of the universe. On February 14th (until March 3rd), Mercury moved into Pisces, amplifying intuition, dreams & divine insights. This is a time when your connection to the unseen realms deepens, making it an ideal moment for divination.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Dreamwork Spells: Light a candle infused with lavender or mugwort & write your question on a small piece of paper. Place it under your pillow before sleep, asking for clarity in the form of a dream.
Intuitive Journaling: As Mercury aligns with Pisces' fluid energy, set aside time each night to journal your thoughts, feelings, and any signs or symbols you might encounter. These are messages meant for you.
Venus in Aries
Passion and Bold Creativity
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and desire, dances into Aries on February 4th (through March 26th), igniting a powerful spark in matters of the heart. Venus in Aries is all about taking action on what you want & it drives a fiery, bold energy that can help you claim your desires with confidence.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Love Attraction Spell: Draw a symbol of a heart and Venus in your grimoire, then anoint it with rose or ylang-ylang essential oil. As you visualize your desires, speak them aloud with confidence. “Love, creativity, passion, come to me ~ burn bright with Venus in Aries.”
Creative Empowerment Ritual: Use Venus' influence to push through any creative blocks. Gather a few crystals such as carnelian or rose quartz, and sit in front of a flame (either candle or fire) and focus on igniting your creative passions.
Mars Direct in Cancer
Releasing Tension and Fostering Courage
Mars, the planet of action, passion, and sometimes anger, has been in retrograde for much of the early winter. But on February 23, Mars turns direct in Cancer, urging us to direct our energy outward. While Cancer can be sensitive, it also empowers us to take action based on our emotional truths.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Release and Protection Spell: Mars in Cancer is perfect for banishing negativity. Use black salt & a red candle for a banishment ritual. As you burn the candle, imagine any tension or negativity dissipating and being replaced with emotional strength and courage.
Emotional Courage Ritual: Write a letter to yourself about what you want to release or heal emotionally, then burn it under the light of a red candle, visualizing the fire burning away your emotional baggage.
Jupiter in Gemini
Expanding Knowledge & Social Connections
Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, moves forward after its retrograde in February, lighting a path toward intellectual pursuits & big picture thinking. With Jupiter in Gemini, communication is key and this is a perfect time to expand your mind & seek new knowledge.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Knowledge & Wisdom Spell: Gather a piece of citrine or clear quartz, a pen, and a journal. As you write out your intentions for expanding your wisdom, charge your crystals with the desire to receive deeper insights and connections from the universe.
Social Magick: Jupiter in Gemini also influences connections. If you’ve been looking to expand your circle or connect with like-minded witches, this energy encourages you to reach out & collaborate (even if it's via social media!).
Saturn in Pisces
Spiritual Growth & Emotional Healing
Saturn, the taskmaster of the zodiac, continues its journey through Pisces, urging us to ground our spiritual & emotional practices. While Saturn can sometimes feel heavy, its energies can help us find stability in the face of emotional & spiritual challenges. This is a time for deep reflection and growth.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Healing and Boundaries Spell: Saturn in Pisces helps us confront our emotional wounds with patience & maturity. Consider anointing yourself with lavender or frankincense oil and practicing a grounding meditation that helps you connect to your emotional center. This is a wonderful time for spell work focused on healing past traumas & setting healthy emotional boundaries.
Faithful Protection Ritual: Saturn also governs protection. Craft a protective amulet or charm bag with herbs like sage, rosemary, sandalwood & bay leaves. Empower it by focusing on long term protection for yourself & your loved ones.
Uranus in Taurus: Innovation & Breaking Free
Uranus, the planet of sudden change & innovation, is direct in Taurus, pushing us to break free from old structures & embrace radical shifts, especially when it comes to material security and the earth. This is an excellent time for embracing new ways of doing things, particularly in your magickal practice.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Transformation and Manifestation Spell: If you've been feeling stuck or bound by material concerns, this is the perfect time for a Uranus-influenced spell to free yourself from limitations. Use a yellow candle for success & a piece of green aventurine or citrine to manifest abundance and new beginnings.
Breakthrough Spell: Place a piece of amethyst or lapis lazuli in your hand as you meditate on the changes you wish to manifest. Visualize yourself breaking free from the chains of your past, entering a new phase of freedom & innovation.
Neptune in Pisces: Deep Intuition & Dream Manifestation
Finally, Neptune in Pisces brings a flood of creativity & intuitive energy, making it the perfect time for working with dreams, visions & psychic abilities. Neptune urges us to dive deep into the waters of our intuition & align with the flow of the universe.
Spell Crafting to align with the energies
Psychic Enhancement Ritual: To sharpen your intuition, create a sacred space with blue or purple candles, along with herbs like mugwort & jasmine. Anoint yourself with a psychic oil blend & gaze into a scrying mirror (if you have NYX scrying liquid, this is the perfect time to use it) or crystal ball, asking for visions and/or guidance.
Dream Manifestation Spell: Before sleep, place a piece of amethyst under your pillow and ask Neptune to bring you answers to your questions through your dreams. You may also keep a dream journal nearby to record any symbols or messages that come through.
Now, for the evening of the alignment on the 25th, here is a spell to capture the essence of the energies to maximize your workings.

Incantation
By the light of the cosmic parade, Seven planets in their dance arrayed. Mercury’s wisdom, Venus’ grace, Mars’ bold passion, Jupiter’s embrace.
Saturn’s grounding, Uranus’ light, Neptune’s flow to guide me right. I stand in the center, heart open wide, Cosmic energies, come and guide.
With clarity and power, I call upon thee, To manifest my desires, and set my soul free. Align my intentions, heal what is torn, In the winds of the stars, I am reborn.
So it is written, As I say, so it shall be, By the Great Planet Parade, set my magick free. With every step, may the cosmos align, In perfect harmony, my will shall shine.
Closing: Let the candles burn down safely while you sit in meditation, visualizing your intentions merging with the planetary forces. When you’re ready, close the spell by thanking each planet, allowing their energies to remain with you as you move forward in your practice. You may want to keep the crystal with you for continued support.
