Pisces The Fish: (Feb. 18-March 19)
You may have been told that you are too sensitive for your own good. Early this week it is especially easy to take stressors onto your back that belong elsewhere. Mars, the warrior, enters your sign on the 15th and will be traveling with you for five weeks. This energy will counter your boundary problems.
For All Signs: Venus, goddess of love, turned retrograde on March 6. This event occurs approximately every 18 or 19 months. She remains retrograde until April 16. She will be very bright in the evening western sky. During her ebb periods we reflect on our personal needs with respect to partnerships. Meanwhile it is common for ongoing relationships to shift into neutral or even a temporary reversal. The universal message is to think carefully about who you are before making a promise of commitment. For those already pledged, it is a time to go within oneself and discover the qualities needed to improve upon the existing relationship. Study yourself, not the Other.
Aries: You may be experiencing some odd feelings about yourself in relationships at this time. Venus is turning retrograde in your sign and what (or who) you thought was great a month ago is now causing you to think again. Don’t draw conclusions yet.
Taurus: Read the lead paragraph carefully. You may be angry now, but it is important you let the dust settle before eliminating a relationship altogether. For one thing, you need greater clarity about yourself.
Gemini: Venus is retrograding in the territory of community/acquaintance connections. You may encounter one or two people you have not seen for a very long time during this period. You are in an outspoken frame of mind, particularly if there are those being mistreated or harmed.
Cancer: You are still dealing with the fallout from last week’s Full Moon experience. However, the shock value has worn off and now you can think better. Your mind is pulling in one direction while your heart tugs in another. If possible, set any decisions aside until the clutter is removed.
Leo: You may make a surprising financial decision to buy or sell something. Others, who didn’t see this coming, may be shocked. But you have been thinking about this for quite some time. Leos rarely make truly sudden decisions.
Virgo: Venus is retrograding in the sector that concerns debt, investments, loans, partner’s income or alimony. Your partner may encounter a temporary financial downer that causes you to rethink your savings and investments. If someone owes you, start there and seek payment.
Libra: Give special attention to the lead paragraph. Venus, goddess of love, is your planetary symbol. You may have an option or an invitation to return to a former partner. Think very carefully. Ponder the trade-offs and question who you may become if you do so.
Scorpio: Your attention shifts to matters concerning children, play, romance and recreation for the next few weeks. You will likely be the one to initiate activities on these fronts. If you have hesitated to ask someone to date you, now is the time to take a step.
Sagittarius: Early in the week an opportunity to expand your social life brings smiles. You may be invited to a party or you might meet someone new. This aspect is from Venus, goddess of love and creativity. The muse may be at your side as you produce a particularly creative idea or solution to a problem.
Capricorn: The weekly planetary energies are holding steady right now. This allows you to finish tasks of recent weeks and rest. The spring equinox occurs next week and marks an important change that is part of the larger process of transforming your life.
Aquarius: Mars departs your sign this week. For those with any type of infection, now is the turning point toward recovery. You may appear to make a sudden financial decision, but you know this has been brewing in the back of your mind for awhile.
