Horoscope for the Week beginning Feb. 12
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The second half of winter is steadily building momentum. With each day the hours of sunlight increase by two minutes and eight seconds. Photographers especially might appreciate this subtle shift producing an ever-changing cast of light. This annual rhythmic cycle also reveals influences that are measured by Astrologers. This is where the science and the art meet to produce eventful synchronicities and deeper psychological and spiritual features that are measurable and demonstrable.
Even in a single day, the turning of the Earth on its axis produces very significant shifts of perspective. More than simply a perceptual shift, it is enough to render quite different influences even for people born on the same day. In this respect, while there is ever a generic influence, like the weather, how it is actually experienced and interpreted is ultimately subjective. Albert Einstein’s famous assertion applies here: “You cannot take the observer out of the experiment.”
Generally, the Sun will complete its transit through Aquarius this week and enters Pisces on February 18 at 9:34 p.m. Mercury exits Capricorn on the 13th entering Aquarius at 2:43 p.m. and Venus follows suit, entering Aquarius on the 16th at 8:17 p.m. How will these influences manifest in your life? Such questions and the answers they produce are a reflection of what Astrology is all about.

Feb. 12 – 18
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your world is changing steadily. It may be easy to see but is it as easy to take? Playing along, you feel excited at the prospect of new experiences. You would like to impress and be impressed. It might take more than the usual distraction to break through however. Beyond outer entertainments, cultivating your own skills and creative gifts just might do the trick.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
A steady flow of change continues to roll in. Change is not your favorite thing perhaps but even you might agree that it is time. Other key players have their role too and right now it is to challenge you. With so much change going on within this suggests that you are busy even if it does not appear so. Step back and see a bigger picture and trust that destiny has plans for you.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
You are in an adventurous mood and travel may be on your mind. Inquiry and investigation about how you can make it so is at least a satisfying distraction. Yet you also feel surrendered to the flow, perhaps even to a higher power. More than usual you know that all things are temporary and true happiness comes from within. Back on earth you have work to do all the while.
Cancer (June 21 – Jul y22)
A busy cycle continues and in more ways than one. People and circumstances are pushing you and hard. But you are determined to push back, perhaps even harder. You are willing to strike a deal but your end of it better be worth your time. One way or another you are learning a lot. Some of the answers are coming from without and some from within. Be receptive to both.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Just as the days are getting longer, your enthusiasm is increasing too. The challenge to dig deep remains and this includes extra homework with emphasis on the details. You would like to increase your lot but you realize that this means giving more and you may not yet be entirely in the mood. This will change before the week is out so focus to activate the preliminary measures.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
That festering within continues. It is prompting you to invention, perhaps even of yourself. At least some form of re-launch may be required. Where is that reset button? Fortunately there are indications that creative inspirations are on the rise. This will increase as the week progresses. Get ready to be more social by next week anyway and to give more as well.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Balancing playful and sporting with sober and serious continues. Desires for more are definitely spurring you on. The other question is: How to best play this game and win? The discipline to persevere, the wisdom to learn every day and the will to have faith in the process are three other keys on the chain. Now that all this admin is activated, bring on the play because it’s all about the balance.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A steady process of re-invention continues. What once was may well be rapidly losing its appeal. You want to explore new possibilities. Yet you are at something of a crossroads. A time of deliberation to carefully consider what constitutes a path with heart that will allow you to express yourself more authentically is firmly on your mind. The answer will come soon and it could prove quite unexpected.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A flood of new ideas have begun to pour in. This process will escalate this week and continue for several more. If you have been waiting for new insight and inspiration, this is your cue. Ready yourself to take note of the fresh perspectives. These could prove valuable now and later. Your social life will get a boost this week too, but by next week you may be happier at home.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A steady flow of new initiatives have been keeping you busy. Fortifying your foundation is featured. This includes associations with others of power, influence and accomplishment. Beyond appreciating the creative abilities of others, you want to harness them. One way or another, you are taking new leads that are causing you to break with tradition.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Mercury and Venus entering your sign this week will activate some new initiatives. This includes seeing a bigger picture of possibility. Conversely, these will manifest as digging deeper into things. You could do some early spring cleaning or tackle your taxes or attend to some needed adjustments in your lifestyle to activate better health. Begin it now.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Translating your dreams and ideals into reality continues. If you have not already begun this process, do it now and the sooner the better. Initiatives taken early this week could really make a difference. But hesitation now could prove costly. Generally the time is right to forge new alliances. These may manifest as new friendships but also as key connections for business.
