Horoscope for the week beginning Feb. 19
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Pisces time has begun. This is the time period that leads up to Spring Equinox. Although time is ultimately an illusion, a play of perception intrinsically woven into the cycles of the cosmos, it is this very reality that so significantly contributes to making the dream come to life.
Dreams and realities, perceptions and truths, facts and fallacies, who is to say which is actually which? To date, there is no consensus agreement. Certainly there are bullying forces and arrogant voices that assert conclusions to satisfy their own convictions, attachments and ambitions, yet the jury remains perpetually out.
What we can agree upon is that with each new day the distribution of the sun’s light on the planet is ever changing, even if within a repetitive cycle. This light may not be that of which mystics speak reflecting upon their enlightenment peak, such sublime vistas of light refer to dimensions hidden from empirical senses. Yet it is the light of the life-giving sun that does more than simply bathe our world in solar radiation and it is hardly a mere object in the sky.
The light of our Sun and the life-giving heat it produces are the outer reflections of an intimate relationship which we each individually and collectively share. While not limited by our cyclic movements manifesting as time, our experience of it is deeply embedded in our body, mind, heart and soul. Astrology measures this relationship and vividly reveals that life is riddled with consciousness and within its intelligent intent exists creative purpose for one and all. Pisces time reminds us to meditate and remember this living spirit that dances in the solar light.

Feb. 19-25
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A time of retreat is upon you. While sometimes such periods can prove busy behind the scenes, you may, this time, feel inclined to be quieter so you can reflect deeply. That old saying, ‘Be still and know that I am God,’ applies here. Specifically, it is the voice of your soul that you want to hear. The next step will be to heed what you heard but that time is a few weeks away.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Dreams can be sweet but they are known to turn bitter when left to tumble endlessly in our mind. It is said that some dreams are just that and the inspiration they produce is enough. But some dreams are louder and are more specific to the actualization of our destiny. Such dreams require clarification and action. Since they are yours, there is no sacrifice save for that of your familiar comfort zone.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Long distances are not necessarily required for you to travel far. You more than others are able to notice all the details that even journeys to the far reaches of your own neighborhood can reveal. This is a time of bringing it home and the reference of this common phrase is linked directly to creative inventiveness. All you have to do is enter the zone.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
A mystical mood has descended upon you, or perhaps it is you that is ascending to lofty heights to hear gods whisper amidst heavens thunder. There is magic in the air as well, the sort that keywords uttered opens doors previously locked shut. That these doors are in your own mind and conceal unique perceptions of self and others is the inner riddle embedded in the verse.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Birth, life, death, and rebirth – the natural and eternal message encoded in a simple spiral is yours to behold now. This process is certainly literal, yet at others refers more to our sense of identity and subsequent orientations than to the concerns of mortality. A process of awakening is underway. Messengers from without and messages from within are collaborating on your behalf.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Relationships and memorable moments shared linger like a dream in your mind. How quickly the flow moves beneath from the vantage from the bridge up above. Traffic rumbling by disrupts your reverie reminding you of realities in the now that simply will not wait. Like the needle on the album, the only sound that is real is that which you can hear and which is moving you to engage.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Life is but a dream, but when we feel like hell it has a way of breaking the spell. An invitation has been sent to do a review of your embodied state. Over the next couple of weeks, you will receive a gentle reminder to stay in shape and keep your immune system high. If all is well it will pass you by without any notice. Otherwise, take note and address the messages with deliberate punctuation.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Sometimes our imagination soars like an eagle in the sky. The vantage of perspective to see from on high brings rare realization and inventiveness. Innovation that may be deemed genius is irrupting in your mind. To share this blessing serving the collective good will provide the inspiration to prevail and reward you with countless returns. ‘Fly like an eagle to the sea; fly like an eagle let your spirit carry thee.’
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Although life can sometimes feel like we are caught between a stone and a hard place, you also know that the ground is not as solid as it seems. So, the question is: how can you best slip away? Once deciphered you must then decide what to do with your newfound freedom. Thoughts abound hoping to be born into ideas that inspire actions that, with careful aim you can soon call realities.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
The fluid flow of people with their many complexities and ever changing moods and reality dynamics produces enough politics to keep even the wisest of diplomats busy in any arena. Whether at home, in a coffee shop, board room or wherever, the people process is an art and one that you are destined to cultivate. Hold, fold, walk away, run… questions, questions.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Out of a flood of possibilities, you are being called to decipher your priorities. What do you feel you truly want and need? The flow has ushered you to this turn of new perspectives and, in turn, they are leading you to contemplative reflection. Some might describe it as being ‘thrown in’ on yourself. On the other hand, you are also on a dynamic role and may be drawing some clear lines.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A gentle push off the shore is initiating a new adventure. With plenty of creative ideas swimming in your mind, you are determined to enter new territory. The methods of your approach are also new. The drive and determination to activate this new momentum have already been with you for a few weeks and will continue for a several more anyway.
