Aquarius The Waterbearer: (Jan. 19 -Feb. 18)
There is so much planetary energy in your sign that one paragraph cannot describe it. You are filled with hope, joy, positive energy, and you have a desire to share this with the world around you. Just be sure your targets want the help. If not, move to a better receiver.
For All Signs: Mercury, planet of communication and travel, turned direct on Feb 1. Projects and decisions which have been delayed or set aside can now be resolved, and the routine business world will resume its usual hectic pace. Hopefully, the past three-and-a-half week period of the retrograde will have done its job, that of encouraging reflection and re-evaluation of previously made plans. Any flaws or problems in previously existing ideas will have been discovered, detours made, or repairs completed, and life traffic returns to normal. Mercury goes retrograde three times per year. It is similar to a pause button. Its message: Think before you act.
Aries: Early this week it requires a lot of energy to get anything accomplished. Reflexes are low. As the weekend approaches your activities begin to flow smoothly. You then have a tremendous amount of energy, and your body is following your orders. Social life will be strongly highlighted from the 14th.
Taurus: An emotional hurt of the present could cause you to feel blue and somber very early in the week. Don't allow it to take you down because it is brief and not meant to last. Accept opportunities to enjoy others in your life from the 14th forward. Your emotional attitude will readily change.
Gemini: Your ruling planet, Mercury, is moving into Aquarius to join 6 other planets and bodies. This is an amazing crowd in one place! The emphasized territory for you is in the area of travel, education, and communications. The probability is that you will begin making plans for your next journey.
Cancer: There is a tumultuous group of planets in the territory of "other people's resources." You could be involved in a corporate merger situation, attending to multiple budgets. Even those who are not bank execs are probably working on a local budget project.
Leo: You or someone else may want you to feel guilty because you are unable to make things better. Recognize that you are not the magician you would like to be and let go of the guilt. Whatever happens now, you are prone to think the worst about yourself. This is temporary. Let it go.
Virgo: There is already a major crowd of planets in your territory of work, daily routine, employees, coworkers, and personal health. This implies tremendous energy in these areas for you. Now your planetary ruler, Mercury, also enters the scene. It looks like you arrive to organize the situation.
Libra: Early in the week someone may re-injure an old emotional wound. If you need to do so, a couple of days of licking the wound should suffice. The weekend promises opportunities to lighten your mood. Children and/or grandchildren will be a pleasure.
Scorpio: Early in the week you are edgy and may be accident prone. Use caution. Follow the inclination to clean house and eliminate unneeded items. The 15th to 17th bring in new activities, things, or people that will help you update your sense of "home". More resources become available.
Sagittarius: Hope and optimism fill your platter during this period. Activities involving short distance travels, siblings, roommates or neighbors are cheery and upbeat. Those involved in education, whether teaching or learning, will have pleasurable experiences.
Capricorn: Venus, goddess of love, is on your side this week. She will bring improvements to any type of relationship. For those who have been troubled about a particular relationship, this could be a good time to concentrate on making improvements. Financial concerns are plaguing in the background of your mind.
Pisces: Throughout this winter you have needed to hold onto your genuine spirit and separate yourself from the chattering of your ego. Now is the time to study dreams, listen to the intuitive voice, and hear the cosmic music.
