Aquarius the Waterbearer: (Jan. 19 – Feb. 18)
This is a good week to discuss ideas with people who are important in your life. You have more than one positive opportunity to express yourself with others. Be generous. You have much to share. You can see a bigger picture than many people.
For All Signs: Mercury watchers will be glad to know that this planet goes direct on Monday night, Feb. 18. As it approaches direct motion, people will be more willing and able to make decisions, keep appointments and settle issues of past weeks or even months. Those who work in occupations related to travel or communications of any type will have smoother days. Rumors and fallacious troubling information generated during this retrograde will be made clear.
Aries: You have multiple aspects this week. Some are easy, others more challenging. There is a smooth flow of energy in your mind and also in the concrete world concerning communication of thoughts and ideas. Relationships to friends and/or partners are confused by too many words, or those not well spoken. Try a hug instead.
Taurus: Forward motion may be sidetracked until your ruling planet, Venus, changes signs on the 17th. Following that, your activities are on display for three weeks. Others are noticing your performance, so make it great. You or your work may be standing in the limelight.
Gemini: Disturbing news may come your way via the law, education, church or your in-laws and grandchildren. Do not panic or let it send you on a detour from your path. Wait a couple of weeks and allow it to straighten itself before you take action.
Cancer: Positive things and people come into your life to bring you greater awareness of your place in the cosmos. People may offer favors, or volunteer books for you to read. This is a good time to delve into a topic of intensity or one you have never considered.
Leo: Give special attention to a message delivered by a significant person. It opens the door to a new education in relationships. One or more new people may enter your life for a purpose this week. Stay awake.
Virgo: Your mind may feel fuzzy and loaded with too many details to count. Make lists and use some of your tricks to help you organize your thoughts. Mercury is your ruling planet, and it changes directions on the 18th, so beware of setting any decisions into concrete.
Libra: Be prepared through the 18th to deal with broken things or situations that interfere with progress. On the 17th, your ruling planet Venus moves into the sector of life related to children, recreation and romance. The goddess of love is happy in this territory and can carry you with her. Enjoy!
Scorpio: You have fortunate aspects for home, family and property. Small favors will likely be granted. Meanwhile be very careful while driving, walking or transporting yourself in any way. There are potholes and/or big bumps on the path.
Sagittarius: This is a time in which your exuberance and enthusiasm may carry you farther than you really intended to go. You will certainly have more energy to do whatever you choose, but take care that you don’t promise way more than you can deliver.
Capricorn: This week and next brings a test of some kind. It could be something formal, but more likely it will be represented by someone who is “testing” your knowledge of a broad and meaningful subject. Cramming is not possible here.
Pisces: The sun returns “home” to your sign on Feb. 19. You likely will find it to be energizing. Now is the time to focus on new plans for this next year of your life. Take a fresh look at where you want to direct your attention.
