Horoscope for the week beginning Feb. 24
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
Despite her best efforts in a heated pursuit, Venus has slowed her pace and Mars is steadily pulling away.
Venus will continue to slow down and come to a veritable standstill by the end of this week and even begin to retrograde by March 4. Hypersensitive to the opinions of others and a general lack of trust, Venus in Aries can contribute to an increased feeling of alienation between people.
Mars meanwhile will form a conjunction with Uranus in Aries on February 26, the same day as the Pisces New Moon and one day after Mercury enters Pisces. Mars produces a lot of verve and firepower especially when in its own sign. Add eccentric, high octane Uranus into the equation and you get rocket fuel. This is a rather strange, confusing and unpredictable blend of energies. Watch for the synchronicity.
Feb. 24 – March 2
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19): Contending with a pull in opposing directions continues. On one hand, you want to break new ground. On the other, you feel drawn to retreat. This dilemma of orientations will actually increase this week. With awareness, you can probably have both. The key is to be deliberate in each direction.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20): A good deal of energy, drive and determination are percolating in the background. It may not be evident to others but you can sure feel it. Still, it is probably best to nurture your resolve with patience and strengthen it with plans, for now. First the idea, then the inner work, then outer action…soon.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): You have many dreams and you yearn to make them manifest. Breaking through any walls that may be blocking the flow feels necessary first. These could simply be the barrier-of-uncertainty regarding the outcome. The issue could be deeper, though, one of confidence. Affirm your worth and resolve.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): While a soul-searching impulse continues in the background, you have begun to take definite strides. These may include breakaway measures from existing involvements that simply do not satisfy. Otherwise, it could be old beliefs that need to be cleared and replaced with better ones.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have entered a deep cycle that will last until Equinox. Positively, it is a regenerative cycle. Focus on engaging by clearing, cleansing, purging what has become stale. Even re-arranging furniture could help. If you do not tune in and consciously engage you could cascade into depression. Be aware.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22): Breaking through what may be described as relationship fog is now in focus. The fog metaphor may simply be described as behaviour patterns that have become habits. How can you break the pattern and freshen things up? Often inspiration comes from initiating a new impulse, like now.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22): Establishing a healthier lifestyle rhythm is an important theme now. If there are any lingering health issues, they could get activated now and over the coming weeks. This could be a good time for a medical check-up. Eat better, rest more, and drink more water and focus on activating a healthier rhythm.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The call to contribute to a greater good somehow continues. It is not about going against your nature, but about emphasizing certain gifts and sharing them. Yet doing so may require that you assert new initiatives. Make that call, activate a meeting, outline a vision and plan and rise to the occasion.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sometimes our dreams amount to fantasies and wishful thinking. Dreaming in the first place is healthy and good. Then along the way we have to determine their genuine worth and validity. This may be such a time. It may take a couple of weeks, but you will soon be dreaming new dreams.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Many new perspectives are being activated in your mind. Despite some cloud cover, you are beginning to see the clear blue sky again. As a result, you are gaining fresh inspiration. Yet, you may also have work to do and it may even amount to renovations or, at least, some serious re-arranging.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
The push to activate a breakthrough may actually feel like a shove now. Whether this impulse is coming from within or is due to outer circumstances, or both, you feel the need to make some changes. This impulse will increase steadily this week. What you probably need now is a clear and solid plan.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You are in a pioneering mood. Yet it is moving you to increase your cooperative efforts with others. Making adjustments in how you meet and greet the world is featured. This could imply a better marketing strategy or at least a fresh approach. Keep an open mind yet be willing and determined to follow through.
