Energetic Gateways
This week’s headline items: Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase on Monday late evening; the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday late evening — in the Northern hemisphere, this also marks the Spring Equinox and International Astrology Day! Mars changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Friday evening; Sunday afternoon starts the build-up towards a powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Libra.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday afternoon (for 41 minutes), Thursday night/Friday very early morning (for a little over 1 hour), and Sunday late morning (for almost 5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, join us…
On Friday, March 22nd, at 1pm EDT/5pm GMT, we will have another monthly Forecasting Forum! Join us live or register to receive the mp4-video presentation of the live event.
We will talk about Eclipse Season in more detail and what to expect until April 18th and the first full Mercury Retrograde phase in Aries, which begins on April 1st and lasts until April 25th… And all of this will be linked right to our personal birth charts!
***Also, there are some Membership changes that went into effect on Jan. 24th with some NEW Membership features and some minor price changes ==> You can watch a brief video OR read about those changes here.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 18th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt, so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is key until Tuesday afternoon.
Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.
Make sure, though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it; otherwise, you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Monday early morning, is a great time to focus on spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and to lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, focus on the here and now and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past.(Moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Pisces, exact at 4:29am EDT)
Monday late morning, we have an opportunity to examine our beliefs around physical comforts and anything that gives us pleasure and stability to see if those beliefs align with what nurtures us.
It’s worthwhile to ponder philosophical questions about whether or not our needs are being met — and whether our physical comforts leave us feeling nurtured.
It is also an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and expand our perspectives on financial issues or concerns — or simply to take a look at our physical reality and what feeds us.(Moon in Cancer sextiles Jupiter in Taurus and squares Mercury in Aries, exact at 9:24am & 10:29am EDT)
Monday late afternoon, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues.(Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 4:24pm EDT)
Monday evening, we have an opportunity to connect to family (or friends who feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach to financial matters that brings us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 8:20pm EDT)
Monday at 10:13pm EDT, Mercury enters its pre-Shadow phase when it reaches 16 degrees of Aries; this is 2 weeks prior to its Retrograde phase (which starts on April 1st at 27º11′ of Aries).
Mercury is the planet of communication and information exchange. Communication starts within our minds — our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.
What is the Shadow phase? The period immediately before and after a planet’s Retrograde phase is referred to as the “Shadow phase”; at these times, the planet travels through the same degrees of a sign (or signs) it will also pass through during its Retrograde phase.
Mercury is usually in its shadow for about two to three weeks before and after a Retrograde phase.
If you want to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items — especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) — be aware of the Shadow periods as well as the Retrograde phases.
If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters its pre-Shadow or wait until after the post-Shadow phase is over — post-Shadow phase will end on May 13th, 2024 (in this case).
Of course, if there is something that must get done during these phases, don’t put your whole life on hold just because Mercury is Retrograde or in its Shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it’s all “perfect”
When Mercury moves through its pre-Shadow phase in Aries, it’s time to pay attention to what comes up in our lives in connection with new beginnings, things we feel passionate about, and walking our path.
Whatever mental connections, thoughts, or conversations we initiate between March 18th and April 1st must be reviewed during the Mercury Retrograde phase (April 1st – 25th).

by Sonja Francis | Mar 16, 2024 | Astrological Forecasts, Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse
On March 25th at 3am EDT/7am GMT, the Moon opposes the Sun in 5 degrees of Libra/Aries. The entrance of the Moon into Libra on March 24th begins the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon.
This powerful Full Moon is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (the most subtle kind of Lunar Eclipses). It can be viewed in parts of Antarctica, the western half of Africa, western Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, North and South America, the Pacific Ocean, Japan, and the eastern half of Australia.
It lasts for approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for four months and twenty days. Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so keep in mind that eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.
During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow, stimulating our emotional body and increasing our awareness of unconscious patterns and fears. This means we may feel more easily triggered as buried emotions, motivations, and fears surface. Beware of projections and jumping to conclusions.
This particular Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a more balanced connection to life and others.
If you are unsure whether you are projecting something on someone else, check for defensiveness, overreactivity, or difficulty being objective while exhibiting rigid behaviors.
==> If you are already a Member of my online community, feel free to also watch my Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse video here
==> If not, don’t worry: right now, you can get the first month of the Universal Membership for FREE (cancel anytime via your Membership portal).
The Lunar Eclipse video is also included when you get this powerful 95 minute webinar about Eclipse Season & Mercury Retrograde in Aries.
Eclipse Season started on March 15th and lasts until April 18th (that’s 10 days after the Solar Eclipse in Aries that follows this Lunar Eclipse).
So the questions here are: What am I aware of? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart? What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?
Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collectively and individually).
This is the first South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra since the Moon Nodes have shifted into the Aries-Libra polarity in July of last year — highlighting issues around relationship dynamics (“me” vs. “we”) and assertion vs. collaboration.
The Moon Nodes usually remain in any particular polarity for 18 months. They return to the same polarity every 18-19 years.
All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads symbolized by the signs involved.
The North Node in Aries emphasizes the necessity of a healthy connection with oneself — with our passions, personal goals, active pursuits, and our current independent path.
The South Node in Libra extends an invitation to create a more balanced connection between ourselves, others, and life — and to take a closer look at any dependency issues with others.
There was a Full Moon in 5º of Libra in March of 2005 when the Moon Nodes were in the Aries-Libra polarity as they are right now, however the Moon Nodes where too far away from the Full Moon polarity, for it to be an Eclipse. Therefore, the last time we had a South Node Lunar Eclipse in Libra was in April 1987.
Think back to that time — if you are old enough to remember: What needed to change about your relationship with yourself and with others?
There are several aspects worth mentioning in this Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse chart:
- The Moon in Libra not only opposes the Sun but also Chiron in Aries, and it trines Pluto in Aquarius
- Venus, the ruler of Libra, is currently in Pisces, closely aligned with Saturn and in a wide conjunction with Neptune in Pisces
- The Venus-Saturn alignment in Pisces sextiles the Jupiter-Uranus alignment in Taurus
- Venus also quincunxes the South Node in Libra
- Mars, the ruler of Aries, is currently in an early degree of Pisces and makes a semi-sextile to Pluto in Aquarius, as well as a wide conjunction to Saturn in Pisces
- Mercury entered its pre-Shadow phase @16º of Aries on March 18th and will begin to slow down (station) @26/27º of Aries on March 28th, starting its 3.5-week Retrograde phase on April 1st! (See Forecasting Forum March 22nd)
We will address all of these aspects in a moment — but first, let’s take a look at the Libra-Aries polarity:

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel impelled to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I usually use a 5º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 5 degrees of Libra:
Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 0-10 degrees of Libra, Aries, Capricorn, or Cancer? If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Feeling Things Out
This week’s headline items: Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Monday early evening; on Thursday, it will be time to start taking action on your New Moon Intentions; Eclipse Season begins on Friday; lastly, the first Quarter Moon phase begins on Saturday night/Sunday very early morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday morning (for almost 13.5 hours), Thursday evening (for almost 5 hours), and Saturday night/Sunday very early morning (for 5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 11th:
Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day. It will journey there until Tuesday evening. Life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.
Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly and act immediately. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym or finding other ways to burn off the body’s excess energy.
Monday all day is still the most potent time to set your New Moon Intentions. If you’d like some input on how to do that, check out this article — and to (re-) watch my New Moon video, click here.
Monday at 5:50pm EDT, Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until April 4th/5th.
For the next four weeks, we can connect to people from our compassionate hearts. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.
With Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting—it comes as close to “unconditional” as humans can get. One way this probably will show up is plenty of rooting for the underdog. We prefer “feeling things out” to “planning the last detail.”
As you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” — but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us.
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Pisces? If so, this placement will bring extra love and beauty into your life. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love — or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.
Monday late evening/night, has lots of potential for healing around family, the “mother archetype”, home, and our past. We may feel more sensitive and insecure about what we identify with and around our ability to be assertive; this gives us the opportunity to give ourselves some compassion, acceptance, and nurturing in the face of our sensitivities and limitations(Moon conjuncts Chiron in Aries, exact at 12:41am EDT)

Our Reaction to Anger
This week’s headline items: the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Wednesday late evening; Mercury changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Saturday late evening; the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact on Sunday early morning.
There will be four Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday late morning (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Friday afternoon (for a little over 6 hours), and Sunday late afternoon (for a little over 4.5 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, please note:
**Summer Daylight Savings Time begins in Northern America and Canada on Sunday, March 10th at 2am EST ==> Clocks move forward one hour! This means from Sunday on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and movements in EDT.
Please make sure that you adjust this for your location accordingly. For example, for the UK, it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 hours — until March 31st, then it will be 5 hours again!
***Also, there are some Membership changes that went into effect on Jan. 24th with some NEW Membership features and some minor price changes ==> You can watch a brief video OR read about those changes here.
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 4th:
Monday, the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 4:15pm EST. We’re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We’re not likely to be big fans of routine — diversity and new adventures work best at this time — we’re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.
Monday at 10:41am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 5.5 hours until 4:15pm EST. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both, your need for adventure and exploration of life, and your need to go within and get quiet. You may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow.
Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late morning until the late afternoon ahead of time.
Monday at 4:15pm EST, the Moon moves into ambitious, pragmatic, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.
Our ambition surges and brings a need for structure and planning; when you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation will become crucial.
As best as you can during this aspect, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do”
Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn — and it is currently transiting through Pisces. This is a great time to look for practical applications of our dreams, ideologies, connection to Source, or one-consciousness.
It’s also a great time to take a more serious look at our spiritual or creative aspirations; as best as you can, be authentic about your intuitive connection to life. What works (and what doesn’t) regarding your idealism, addictions, avoidance of life, and dreams?
What about life truly resonates with you — as it stands now, rather than what it was 5 or 10 years ago? Where in your life is it time to let go of naiveté or an idealistic approach that no longer serves you?
What tools or structures support you with being in the flow, being present, and feeling connected to the Universe at this moment? What needs your time and attention? What could you practice every day? What do you genuinely want to commit yourself to?
Monday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:24pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday afternoon (March 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (March 5th). This brings an opportunity for insight and novelty. We might experience some really unusual conversations.
Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.
This aspect also brings an opportunity to see things from a different perspective or to put a new spin on our “old” thinking structure. We like to connect in unusual ways, and any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights — this might be a busy day.
As best as you can — and as much as you want to — stay open to other dimensions. Ask yourself: How might connecting to others in unusual or new ways create a better future for all of us and for this planet?
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-22 degrees of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, or Capricorn? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

by Sonja Francis | Mar 1, 2024 | Astrology Articles, Neptune, New Moon
On March 10th, at 5am EDT/9am London-time, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 20 degrees of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free also to watch my New Moon video on the subject
This is the last Lunation before we enter Eclipse Season — which starts on March 15th and lasts until April 18th.
Eclipse Season is usually an unpredictable time, as we are recalibrating on a physical, mental and emotional level which gives us a chance to move to the next level of our evolution – on a personal and collective level.
We will also talk about Eclipse Season in my next Soulivity Today Morning Show: Hot Astrology Friday on March 15th at 8am EDT. If you live in California, listen via KMET Radio at 8am PDT.
Now, back to the New Moon:
New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.
This New Moon is another SuperMoon (the second of three Super New Moons in a row). These occur when the Moon is closest to the Earth (at the time of a New or Full Moon) and are more powerful. This means greater awareness of the issues connected to the particular New Moon energy.
Since this one occurs in Pisces, this Super New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.
This Super New Moon chart has four planets in Pisces, including the Sun, Moon, Saturn, and Neptune. Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) is within 7 degrees of the New Moon, still close enough to make an impact and invite us to open our hearts and dissolve anything that keeps us separate from that heart connection.
The New Moon sextiles Uranus in Taurus, making this an opportune time to tune into the unique value we each have.
Mars in Aquarius is most aspected in this Super New Moon chart. It semi-sextiles the New Moon in Pisces, sextiles Chiron in Aries, and squares Uranus in Taurus.
This will bring an opportunity for more profound healing, individually and collectively speaking. But we are also invited to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we have known ourselves to be. I will go into all of this in more detail in a moment, but first, let’s talk about the Pisces-energy:
Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and thus connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. At its highest vibration, Pisces…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Before I talk about New Moon Intentions, let me mention my next FORECASTING FORUM…
This 90+ min. webinar will be about the upcoming Eclipse Season and the first full Mercury Retrograde of the year in Aries as they relate to our birth charts.
You can join us live on Friday, March 22nd at 1pm EDT/10am PDT/5pm London-time. If this date and time doesn’t work for you, register to get the mp4-video presentation.
Early Bird Special available until March 20th at midnight EDT! — To register for this month only, click here
NEW! Universal Members get a 10% discount for all of my Forecasting Forums at any time! If you’d like to be registered automatically every month, become a Star Member on my site.
If you are already a Star Member OR already registered for the upcoming Forum, you can email me with a question about the upcoming Eclipses OR the Mercury Retrograde until March 22nd at 11am EDT! Questions are answered in the order that they have been received.
The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon Void of Course phase.
So this month, the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be between 5am and 3:45pm on March 10th and from 8:19pm on March 10th until 5am on March 12th — New York time.
If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter as I post reminders on March 10th, 11th, and 12th to let you know when to set your intentions.

Go Within & Connect to Your Intuitive Knowing
This week’s headline items: there will be Leap Day on Thursday (we are getting an extra day in February this year! Yay!). There will be an extra-long Moon void of Course from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday late evening; and the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday late morning.
There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 7 hours), Tuesday afternoon (for almost 33 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 8 hours).
Before we get to this week’s Forecast, you can still…

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 26th:
Monday, the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo and VoC until 9:29am EST. Use this intuitive time to find a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.
It’s a great time for connecting with others and being of service. You may also want to talk to your pets or engage in more spiritual conversations that can also support your physical well-being.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.
Monday at 9:29am EST, the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday late evening. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time as we seek the approval of others.
We very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation — but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to “yes” more easily than we might like.
We may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can’t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm — even if it’s “No”
One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.
Monday late morning/early afternoon, we sense harmonious connections, even though we are focused on making progress. We are invited to bring emotional authenticity to our visions for the future; we are also invited to create deeper, more authentic connections with like-minded people. (Moon in Libra trines Pluto in Aquarius, exact at 11:47am EST)
Monday late evening, we are invited to make some internal adjustments: we may want to be social and collaborate with others (especially within our one-on-one relationships) but may also feel a need to tune in with ourselves and communicate from a more intuitive or spiritual place — introverted vs. extroverted. What do you hear when you get really quiet? What don’t you hear when it gets loud? (Moon in Libra quincunxes Mercury in Pisces, exact at 11:54pm EST)

Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, February 19th:
Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day; it will journey there until Wednesday morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-care is key until Wednesday morning!
Monday morning, requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges…
On the one hand, the desire to be actively engaged in collaborating with like-minded people who share our vision for a better future — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.(Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus & Mars in Aquarius, exact at 5am & 7:30am EST)
Monday afternoon, a Chiron/North Node alignment in almost 17 degrees of Aries becomes exact at 4:13pm EST. This alignment started to build in July of 2023 and will last until June 17th, 2024; it is at its most intense between January 24th and March 25th, 2024.
The last time we experienced this exact alignment in Aries was on Feb. 14th, 1969 — 55 years ago! The most recent Chiron-North Node alignment took place in Aquarius, on June 2nd, 2008. Before then, there was an alignment in Gemini on July 4th, 1984.
Chiron represents a bridge between the physical and the spiritual world. It is also referred to as the Wounded Healer.
It invites us to focus on a more holistic approach towards our passions and our physical activities — in other words, a healing process of the masculine energies in our world. We may feel more physically sensitive or humbled by our current human journey — and it is essential that we see ourselves and everyone else out there as “human”,
Our human nature comes with a feeling of separation, various limitations, and sometimes painful experiences. Our spiritual nature comes with an understanding that all is well and that compassion and love heal our feelings of separation and abandonment. We are now asked to integrate these two “natures”.
The North Node represents our collective and individual Soul’s Journey. It now invites us to make an effort to live from the archetypical energy of Aries. This means we need to trust our impulses, follow our passion, be courageous, and be ourselves completely, without apologies.
With this alignment, Chiron sets the agenda for our current North Node journey. With Chiron involved, our North Node journey focuses on a healing process of the masculine energies in our world. Compassion, love, and understanding are required on an individual and collective level if we want to move our relationship with the masculine to a higher vibrational place.
This is a very humbling experience. We are invited to be compassionate leaders in our own lives, embracing our humanity and inspiring the same in others.
It is important that we see ourselves and everyone else out there as “human” — and that we acknowledge that the human experience is not always an easy one, especially when we hold on to the ideas of separation and duality.
When we learn to stay away from judgments of ourselves and others and embrace our humanness through self-compassion and understanding, we become the Healers the world needs right now.
Ask yourself: Could I show the world, by example, what it looks like to be a humble and compassionate leader who inspires and doesn’t judge?
==> We’ll look at this long-term aspect in more detail — in connection with our birth charts — in our upcoming Forecasting Forum on Friday, Feb. 23rd, at 5pm EST/2pm PST/10pm London time.
