For All Signs It is not so fortunate for lovers that this week, which begins with Valentine’s Day, presents us with difficult aspects from Venus, goddess of love. During such challenging aspects, we are inclined to blame rather than forgive, withdraw rather than approach, and perceive our relationships with a harder point of view. We can choose to do otherwise by focusing on what is positive and good about our loved ones. Do yourself a favor and make a commitment to choose an openhearted mindset for the next two weeks.
Aries Projects which began in the late spring/summer of 2000 are coming to completion. Even though there is still more to do, your mind is already wondering what will be next. Use special care at this time when driving or handling tools. Your physical body is not in its usual groove of coordination.
Taurus Aspects this week are mixed, particularly concerning relationships. One may be problematic, the other is free and easy. Travel is favored, but financial concerns may interfere with your pleasure. Educational pursuits also have “go” signals, along with assistance through loans, grants, or tax returns.
Gemini Interests concerning travel, dealings with people at a distance, and computer projects have favorable aspects. Circumstances concerning your significant others may be more problematic and will require you to make adjustments. Use caution with driving or dealing with tools. Reflexes are out of sync.
Cancer Enjoy this week, Moon Children, and make the most of it. Aspects are favorable concerning travel, the law, education, love and social life. In addition, assistance is available through loans, insurance, social programs, tax returns, and payoff of debt.
Leo Resources beyond your personal income that you normally have are tight during this period. This is the time to do a realistic evaluation of what is available. You may need to reorganize the budget or eliminate unnecessary spending. Romance is likely on hold, but this is only temporary.
Virgo Your partner or the significant others in your life are experiencing major pressure at this time. For one reason or another, you may not be in a position to offer necessary support. He/she may be self-isolating for a short period. Just do what you can now and let them know you are available when the time is right.
Libra Your long-term project is to make adjustments in habit patterns of thinking. The pressure is strong this week to maintain a positive attitude, in spite of what is going on around you. Extra rest would be helpful in this regard. Do not listen to internal or external critics. They lie and exaggerate things out of proportion. Concentrate on the positive.
Scorpio Activities begun in late spring/summer of 2000 are drawing toward closure. They are not complete yet, but the end is in sight. You may be in the last stage, which involves teaching others to take on your role. Meanwhile it is time to take another step in the direction of an idea that began in December 2001.
Sagittarius A situation concerning family or property matters puts stress on your finances and potentially upon your relationships. A solution is available which involves a loan, accessing savings, or calling in favors. Things have been tough these days, but the Archers are notoriously fortunate at resolving such difficulties.
Capricorn Issues concerning employment are stressful at this time and this may have an affect on your physical health. It will help considerably if you focus attention on the positives in your life and avoid obsessing over things you cannot control. Be kind to yourself and get some extra rest.
Aquarius You have so many irons in the fire that there needs to be two of you right now. Spend conservatively because expenses may temporarily offset income. Meanwhile you are making positive contacts that will help in the long run. Hold things together and keep the faith.
Pisces The ongoing concern about your security and career status is highlighted this week. You may hear unpleasant news about a situation that is beyond your control, but affects your current status. It is imperative that you do not take the issue personally. No one is directing arrows at you. You are adaptable. Look for other avenues to resolve challenges.
