February 13 - 19, 2012. With Mercury, planet of communication, moving in to dreamy compassionate Pisces, you can expect exceptional creativity, a divine sort of brilliance accompanies all your thoughts. This energy is hard to grasp. Not tangible in the usual way, but offering much insight into matters of the heart and mind.
Valentines day has the emotional moon in a stressful square aspect to the Sun, Neptune and Mercury. It's not the dreamy sort of ideal day you would like Astrologically. Rather, it is likely that you feel at odds with your feelings now. The Moon also enters grass is greener Sagittarius late afternoon. You may be craving travel and adventure rather than romance and fuzzy blankets. This is a nice reaction to the energy if you have a partner who understands your interest in the great beyond. If, on the other hand, you have a more emotionally squishy sort of mate you may have some explaining to do. Quite possibly some negotiations leading to a difficult compromise. Keep in mind that your relationship with yourself is the template for all your other relationships. Self love and respect are essential- now you can see where your needs are not being met. Now you can learn to provide for yourself.
By Thursday the sixteenth you will feel grounded and clear headed about the direction you would like to take. The Capricorn Moon is serious but smart and productive. You can check things off your list and make headway Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Plan meetings and workplace negotiations now. You have the ability to expand with discipline and imagination- an unlikely combo now working together for your advantage. With Saturn recently retrograding you may feel like you are sliding backwards in life. Progress is being made in a lets slow down and assess the situation type of way. Take your time and review- Be clear about your mission. We all need a mission statement, now would be a good time to declare yours. Words to live by make life more meaningful.
The Sun leaves humanitarian Aquarius and shifts into selfless Pisces on Saturday. You may feel a sudden lack of energy. In the month of Pisces dozing is common. Neptune is the ruler of Pisces and the Sun is currently conjoined in this area of the cosmos . Now you can feel what others are feeling. Empathy and compassion take over and we can no longer ignore the suffering of others. With Neptune in influence we can sense that "we are one". Indulge in art and drama- all forms of artistic self expression will sooth your soul. Be careful to avoid self-destructive forms of escapism. Now is not the time to put your head in the sand. You know more than you realize. Rest is essential this month. You need time to sleep and allow rejuvenation to occur. We are in the last stretch of winter now and need to pamper ourselves to maintain energy through to spring.
Sunday the moon will shift to a more detached Aquarius just before the Sun forms an exact conjunction with Neptune. This means that these two powerful energies are fused together in the sky. The Sun is identity seeking expression and Neptune is our line-in to deeper realities of existence, our dreams come true and our hidden fears. Be open to new experiences. Don't be surprised if you witness some magic in your world; meaningful coincidences and signs guiding your direction. Ask and you shall receive. When Neptune is in position real magic happens.
