For All Signs
For two weeks on either side of February 16 we are witnessing the influence of Jupiter opposite Neptune. The general interpretation is expansive optimism, probably based on idealism and what we want to see. It is a hopeful attitude, but may not have a solid basis in reality. We are all prone to take risks with this aspect, but it is unwise unless you really know what you are doing.
Aries
You began a project in communications or travel under difficult circumstances in April-May. During the next two weeks you arrive at a culmination point. Proof of value is required, which will be judged according to its merits. Be mindful of car “symptoms.” They represent the need for attention.
Taurus
It is likely that you may experience delays or detours in any of the following areas of your interest: travel, the law, publishing, institutions, information which must come from distant sources. Mainly this is an inconvenience and not a serious problem. Just expect these things to take longer than normal.
Gemini
During the early part of this week you may feel stymied or held back in some way. Your energy may not be up to par. This shortly gives way to improved spirits, feelings of success, good news from distant sources and favorable experiences with authority figures. The end of the week looks much better than the beginning.
Cancer
Your need to be social and talkative is at odds with your need to be self-reflective and quiet. This will probably call for some creative internal dialogue, and maybe some kind of fair trade agreement. Meetings and appointments may be changed or delayed in some way this week. Give yourself extra time to accommodate.
Leo
You likely will be in the right place at the right time to help two warring factions come to a reasonable agreement this week. If it so happens that you are at war with children or a friend, then it is your partner who has the key to a solution. Long term projects are going well and your accomplishments may be recognized during this period.
Virgo
Now that your ruling planet, Mercury, is in direct motion, you are heading out full steam ahead to make up for lost time in January. Every little project that you can check off in your daytimer feels like a coup. Difficulty in communications early in the week gives way to favorable encounters after the weekend.
Libra
You may be considering the state of your long term security at this time. Meanwhile your creative energy is calling you, and before you can follow its signal you will have to do some cleaning of clutter. You are in an unusually introverted state of mind and would rather stay home than go anywhere.
Scorpio
During the next two weeks there will be significant focus on financial affairs, debt, and matters of mandated paperwork, such as taxes. This week you will be given help or an opportunity to resolve difficulties through your father or another masculine figure who wants to see you succeed.
Sagittarius
If you and another are engaged in a battle of wills or egos, this is the week to ask for assistance from an arbitrator, legal counsel, or clergy. A positive solution that will feel favorable to all parties is just within your grasp. It is also possible that a sibling(s) could hold the key to a solution.
Capricorn
You may experience irritability and anger over the next two weeks. The problem is that for some reason you do not feel free to do something about it directly at this time. You might consider writing a letter, but do not mail it until a better time. Brooding silence can be harmful to your health.
Aquarius
It would be easy to see everything through rose colored glasses this week. You may be seeing reality, and then on the other hand, maybe you are seeing mostly what you want to see. Enjoy your enchantments, but don’t bet the house payment on them.
Pisces
Be cautious about making promises during this period. You have a strong tendency to think you can do more than is realistic. Your soul is in need of nurture at this time. Follow up on desires that would offer inspiration, emotional, and spiritual guidance. Meditate, pray, or write in your journal.
