Weekly Horoscope

Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
The cycle of the Sun through Pisces will soften your edge for a while. This is a good time to retreat and rest if you can. Yet, with 4 planets till in Aquarius, like a powerful current, the momentum of the revolutionary impulse will continue. Mercury turning direct on February 20 will keep you awake. Yet Venus also entering Pisces by next Friday will add to your desire for some R&R.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Whatever changes were destined to occur in your public and professional life, these should be apparent by now. Mercury retrograde could have synchronized as some delay due to miscommunications, but it resumes direct motion this week. So, the lights are green, even if the going is somewhat arduous. This is when that notorious Taurean stubbornness can really work for you.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)    
The Sun in Pisces indicates a shift in your public status. You may be experiencing the early signs currently.   It may take until the New Moon in Pisces on March 13 for it to reveal   itself more fully. For now, your task is to see the bigger picture with a detached, stoic perspective. It could amount to a feeling of surrender, which can prove liberating. Let go and let God.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
The 8th house is symbolic of themes of transformation, metamorphic change, purging and purification, death and rebirth, sex and taxes… Altogether, these reveal deep end themes that require patience, faith and resilience. These and similar themes and feelings should be apparent to you now. The Sun entering Pisces offers transcendental peace as your ego-mind yields to the charge of your soul.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 23)
While the waves of changes on relationship fronts wash in, the ripples of which will continue for a few weeks, circumstances are triggering you emotionally. Endings of some kind are indicated, possibly even death of a family member. Whatever is happening will also manifest as a death of some kind for you. Death in this regard may imply the ending of a chapter, or an era.
Virgo (Aug. 24-Sept. 22)
Recent activations linked to changes in your usual routine are underway. Meanwhile, new beginnings on relationship fronts are also featured. These feature spiritual themes, on one hand, and creative activity linked to your public life and/or career, on the other. Both of these will come to full light and fruition in about a month, but the lead up steps will begin this week.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The spirit is calling you to reach for higher ground. From this place you will see more clearly, freer from obstructions. By doing so, you will be better able to see your best direction and efforts to establish your creative focus. Creative investments are just as likely, if not more as art projects, but both are possible. Regarding investments, more knowledge will strengthen your courage.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Last week’s New Moon planted what might be described as a magical seed, deeply in your mind. Unlike Jack, however, critical thinking may be required to plant them in the best way and place, and on the best day. To this end, be open to at least hearing the opinions and advice of others. Discernment often requires a list of considerations which you can then compare and contrast.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Many new thoughts, ideas, perceptions and interpretations are entering your field of awareness. At worst, you feel a little overwhelmed and scattered. Positively, you have a clearer sense of the future and how you can best advance.  You may be slow on taking the initiative and doing the work required at this time, so direct your focus to brainstorming and outlining a plan.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Everyone is dealing with the global financial crisis. Some people are actually earning profit and you are keen to be among them. Adapting to the future is uppermost in your mind. Reaching out to people with power and influence is likely. You are ready and willing to make bold moves as necessary. It has long been said: ‘chaos creates opportunity’, and circumstances are compelling you to act.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19)
A jumpstart to your usual mode of expression finds you taking new leads and strides. These are causing some commotion in your home and with your family. Yet, it may be the commotion that activated your rapidly-emerging resolve. Either way, you are eager to expand your front. Accepting the dues that you must pay is part of the plot and may include time and effort as much as money.
Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 20)
You may be experiencing what can be described as a great awakening. However, if nothing new is coming to your awareness, you may be blocking it due to existing convictions, deeply distracted by outer circumstances or other realities, or in denial. If any of these possibilities apply, this is your cue to be open and receptive to new realizations. Positively, you are breaking through rigid perceptions.
