The Moon hits perigee on February 25, meaning it’s at its closest point to Earth in its orbit.
Whenever that happens, lunar effects feel more intense and emotions come up faster. Sleep gets weird for some people, and you might notice the tides in your body just as much as in the ocean.
But every perigee has its own flavor, and this one sits inside a stretch of sky that’s already a bit charged, with several planets in sensitive water and mutable signs.
So this perigee isn’t just intense. It’s personal. It’s reflective. It might even be a little nostalgic.
Here’s what stands out about February 25 and the few days around it.
1. Emotions Run Closer to the Surface
Perigee moons always amplify feelings, but this one has a softer, more internal tone.
You might find yourself reacting strongly to small things. Stuff you thought you’d processed could come back around, just to check if you really did.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad day. Actually, it can be pretty useful if you lean into the awareness.
Pay attention to what triggers you, and notice what feels comforting too. The Moon this close tends to reveal what your nervous system actually needs, not what you think you should need.
If you’re trying to push through and stay productive, you might feel off. It’s easier to work with this energy than against it. So let things move a little bit slower.
2. Intuition Becomes Clearer
When the Moon is near Earth, intuitive signals can feel stronger. Dreams are more vivid and gut feelings are sharper. You might pick up on other people’s moods without trying.
The tricky part is that clarity and projection can blur together. Not every strong feeling is a psychic insight. Sometimes it’s just, well… a strong feeling.
So, double-check before acting on a hunch. Sit with it and let it settle. This perigee supports reflection more than snap decisions.
If you journal, pull cards, or do any kind of spiritual work, this is a good window. You might notice patterns that weren’t obvious before.
At the same time, boundaries matter. When sensitivity goes up, so does the tendency to absorb other people’s stuff.
So if you feel drained after certain interactions, that’s information you need to pay attention to. Step back when you need to and protect your energy without overthinking it.
3. Relationships Feel a Bit Closer
Perigee tends to magnify relationship dynamics, so you might feel more connected to people you care about.
Conversations can get deeper quickly, and there’s a kind of emotional honesty in the air that’s actually refreshing if you’re open to it.
But closeness can also mean friction. Little misunderstandings might feel bigger than usual. If someone’s tone is off, you’ll notice. If you’re feeling insecure, it could show up more strongly than usual.
This isn’t necessarily a crisis moment. It’s more like a spotlight on what’s already there.
The best approach is simple. Communicate gently and clearly. Don’t assume and don’t escalate. Give people the benefit of the doubt when you can.
And if something does need to be said, say it calmly because this perigee supports heartfelt conversations, not dramatic confrontations.
4. The Body Feels It Too
Some people are more sensitive to perigee physically, which means sleep can be a lot lighter.
You might feel restless or wired even if you’re tired. Others feel the opposite—extra sleepy, heavy, needing more downtime. Hydration matters now more than usual and so does grounding.
If you’re feeling off, basic things help. So eat regularly and go outside if you can. Move your body in a gentle way. A walk, stretching, or even just standing in fresh air can help reset your system.
This is also a good time to notice what your body’s been trying to tell you. Perigee is very good at highlighting imbalances.
If you’ve been ignoring stress or pushing past exhaustion, it might catch up with you now.
5. A Short Window for a Reset
One of the underrated things about this perigee Moon is how it can help you see your emotional habits more clearly.
That means you will notice where you overreact, where you shut down, and where you give too much. It’s like a magnifying glass for your usual patterns in the best way possible.
February 25 has a reflective tone that makes this especially useful. Instead of reacting automatically, you can pause and choose something different.
Small things have a big impact now. Maybe you respond instead of withdrawing, or maybe you rest instead of running yourself into the ground.
The days right after the perigee are good for integrating whatever comes up. So, you don’t have to solve everything in one day. Just notice and adjust a little. Let the awareness settle in.
Overall, this perigee isn’t about big external events. It’s about internal tides. Emotional clarity, sensitivity, and a chance to reset how you respond to things.
If you keep it simple and stay aware of what you’re feeling, it can be surprisingly helpful. Intense, yes, but also very healing in its own unique way.
