| Week of February 20
Words take on powerful, yet subtle weight as Mars in retrograde opposes curious Mercury. This allows us a time to pause and reflect. Have we allowed too much to occur while we were preoccupied? The overwhelming distraction has us astray for too long. Our senses snap to attention as the Moon joins radical and spontaneous Uranus in impulsive Aries. We are mad as hell and we aren't going to take it anymore. The gathering storm has echoes of decades past when furor was the fuel that set us to the streets. The foundation is under duress and reconstruction is a vital ingredient for progress. The familiar may be headed for the bargain bin as the old way is no longer good enough. Sun and Neptune in Pisces bring a new awareness and depth.
Aries
A time of tangible transition should be looming soon. Your house of beginnings and endings has great activity. New projects are always an exciting option and they can invigorate you in the best of ways. Never one to shy from a clean slate, you may be chomping at the bit for a fresh start.
Taurus
Don't be surprised if you stumble into a new collaborative venture. Friendships can prove to be valuable as they may allow you access to new opportunities. Your imaginative output may be particularly keen as Mars drives through your house of creativity urging you to express yourself artistically. Great satisfaction awaits.
Work should be quite active this week as you'll have four major planets in your house of career. It may be a time of reorganization and influence. Added responsibility may be a by-product of new structure but the rewards come from the newness. If you can view these changes as a second chance you'll fare much better.
Cancer
Travel and education are especially favored for you, particularly if they involve meeting others at any point. You may find yourself in negotiations regarding learning institutions or even spiritual organizations which fall under the same house roof as education. Your responsible actions can set the tone. Intuition is valuable.
Encounters with large bureaucratic organizations may top your list of priorities. You could be wrangling over an insurance settlement or re-negotiating your loan or mortgage. The issue of monetary rewards and recompense lead the discussion. If you can find the right approach you should be quite successful in this pursuit.
Virgo
Expect to be involved in discussions with your significant partner. Whether those conversations are constructive or not should be up to you. Your willingness to bend may be all that is required. But can you bend? Your feelings need to be aired and you could be quite motivated to achieve fairness. Libra
This would be an excellent week to put some effort into public relations. It does not mean you have to launch a campaign, but the more willing you are to give to causes and charities, the more effective you can be. Foundations, trusts, and any sort of long-lasting symbol would be best. Scorpio
This is when your persistence and tenacity will really start to shine. You may be in a battle of wills and your strength is in the long haul. There is little that could budge you from your view, so simply do what you do best and hold tight. Gather information, use it sparingly and deliver it with that sharp stinger of yours. You should prevail. Sagittarius
How do you bring forth harmony to the home-front if you are off traveling? This would be the time to be back in front of your home hearth tending to those that nurture and support you while on your journeys. The home wheel is squeaking and it could use some grease. Capricorn
This would be an excellent time to deliver a report or engage in an intellectual dialog. Your curiosity is piqued and your desire to peel away the outer veneer could be quite apparent. Whether it becomes a philosophical discussion or a dissertation on ethics, you are not afraid of the loftier topics. Aquarius
Financial discussions and explorations continue to dominate your mind this week. Your house of income is chock-full of influential planets that could bring you money from outside sources. Angel investors and the like are heavily favored for you during this time. Large organizations play a key role. So aim your sights high. Pisces
With the Sun newly into your sign, you may be feeling rather flush. There is quite a lot of activity in your house of self, so you should be getting lots of positive attention. Mars drifts through your house of relationships so you could expect some activity there. Friendships may prove to be invaluable at this time. 2012 Chris Flisher |
