Tip of the Week:
A sequence of conjunctions beginning with Mercury in Capricorn conjunct Pluto on February 10 is in the spotlight. A conjunction of two planets occurs when, from our geo-centric perspective, both planets share the same longitude. Most significantly, these events indicate the beginnings of new cycles which continue until the next conjunction of both planets. The Mercury/Pluto conjunction is the first and occurs on February 10. On the surface, it implies authoritarianism, yet in its inner reaches, critical thinking and journalism are featured. On February 15, Venus conjuncts Neptune in Pisces producing a deep and mysterious theme like dark waters concealing predators, yet also prey and it too holds desires for truth in its secret layers. On the 16th, the Sun conjuncts Saturn in Aquarius highlighting confrontations between cold ambition and justice-seeking rebels determined to awaken others from their naivety. Aquarius is the sign of individuality and the individuation process and, while it includes the realization that individuals are invariably dependent on the collective, still abhors unconscious, complacent conformity.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your sense of individuality is amplified when the Sun is in Aquarius. This year, it includes a voltage of energy to restore balance with an edgy assertiveness. A yearning for fairness and justice is present yet includes the impulse to awaken and, if necessary, cajole and provoke others to discuss the matter.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are a rebel at heart. You do not idly conform to the status quo. Yet, your deeper motives often remain concealed and are often a mystery even to you. To this end, you push to think for yourself and to be informed, knowledgeable, and aware. These characteristics are extra emphasized now.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
You are determined to see a bigger picture. This can come from a determined acquisition of knowledge, yet could also come from new experiences. One way or another, you are in the mood for an adventure to break free from stagnation, boredom, and habitual perspectives. Shake it up!
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
The final stages of a transformational process that reaches back to 2020 are a central theme now. Upon reflection, you should be able to notice that that have been some very significant changes that have contributed to you feeling like a different person. Now is a good time to reflect and research to better understand.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
Your relationship life has gained more attention of late. This could include desires for more harmony to more social activity. This impulse will continue for another week or so, but then you will be happy to be more insular. A rebellious push percolates all the while reaching for more awareness and understanding.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
Establishing new lifestyle rhythms and activities is likely now. Your determination is stronger than usual offering you the opportunity to break free of old, restrictive habit patterns. Both sharing and acquiring knowledge is featured and is associated with ambitions for greater independence.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
Playing with new ideas, perspectives, and approaches continue. An inventive mood is highlighted and could prove quite inspiring. This could actually amount to a process of reinvention of some kind. Either way, ambition for more knowledge is indicated. Break free from stale perspectives and attitudes.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Working to lay claim to hidden powers and latent talents continue. Upon reflection, you may realize that this process has been underway already for 2-3 years. Although the going may seem painfully slow, you have probably achieved more than you realize. Reflect and review to increase your confidence.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Many new perspectives, interpretations, and realizations in general are entering your mind. In some respects, you might even feel a little nervous to acknowledge them. The ability to admit that you might have misinterpreted, miscalculated, or been led astray is where knowledge becomes wisdom.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
A steady process of building upon foundations, or at least fortifying existing ones, now enters its final stages. This cycle began many months ago, actually, even years. While there is more to do, the focus will turn more fully to other more creative stages which have probably already been initiated.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
Taking a series of initiatives and perhaps some pioneering leads may be apparent but may also manifest as a series of subtle shifts. Although the pace remains steady, you have become more open to new perspectives and approaches. Your willingness to integrate new knowledge and perspectives is your power.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
Old lifestyle patterns have been steadily dissolving and being replaced by new ones. This process reaches back a few years and is now entering its final stages. A whole new level of power is coming but it will require a whole new level of discipline as well. For now, relax and enjoy the gestation process.
