Horoscope for the Week beginning February 1
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The Sun Mercury and Mars in Aquarius indicate communications both carried by and propelling of revolutionary forces. Yet Mars’ shift, which has taken a significant lead in this dynamic, is now over and it will ingress into Pisces on February 1. Less than an hour later, Venus will begin her shift in Aquarius. This will synchronize with events that reveal a more diplomatic, humanitarian and civil tone than we have witnessed over the past few months when in mid-November Mars entered Capricorn followed by its tour through Aquarius, which began on Christmas day. Whenever a planet transits a sign, Astrologers look to the ‘ruling planet’ of that sign to decipher subthemes and influences. Capricorn’s ruler is Saturn, which has been in Scorpio since October 5, 2012 and will be until September 17, 2015. Saturn in Scorpio is a very provocative, sexual and yet potentially ruthless placement. The Sandy Hook massacre and the gang rape leading to murder incident in India are two prime examples. When Mars entered Uranus ruled Aquarius the Idle No More movement began to stir. Uranus in Aries (2011-2019) is a potent pioneering and revolutionary indicator. While Mars was in Aquarius and Uranus in Aries – each in the other’s ruling sign, revolution surfaced. Meanwhile, Pluto in Capricorn (2008-2023) continues to purge and purify especially at high levels of power, authority and influence. Pluto’s core function here is to activate accountability and higher levels of integrity. Mars entering Pisces and Venus entering Aquarius just 53 minutes apart will produce more outer calm, grace and diplomatic politics with the revolution going underground, or under water, with Mars in Neptune’s realm. Yet, when Mars then Venus enter Aries beginning in mid-March, the sounds of beating drums will overtake the bleeding hearts that Pisces often produces.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Your sense of individuality is shining brightly. This is helping you to attract and meet new friends. Yet, you may feel divided. You want to make new connections, yet you also want it on your own terms. You are not interested in settling in any way. In some respects, you feel the urge to run away. But doing so is not so easy; the openings are just not there…yet.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You are getting all the attention you want and deserve and more. Whether you want it all is another consideration. Yet, this time does offer some golden opportunities to ask for favours and/or earned rewards from others in key positions. Success now, however, depends on whether you can win the hearts of others. Making good use of the right tools is the other angle.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
A growing urge to take new initiatives is a current theme. Clearing the way for this to happen has been necessary. You want to have a healthy start and you have been focused to this end. But now you are in the mood to play and/or at least to enjoy some cultural stimulation. The time is right to cruise for a while, to ease the pace. Maintain your focus yet enjoy the ride.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You are in an innovative mood. Tapping into your reserve of talents is highlighted. Yet you are also open to accessing the genius, creative gifts and resources of others. Your ambitions are on the rise but you are determined to work smarter than harder. This is where hiring enlisting the support of others enters the picture.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
You are in the mood to get out and meet the people. The timing may be a bit tricky, however, as you are straddling between what once was and what will be. Yet, others are calling you out, challenging you to rise to the occasion. You are willing as long as you can be convinced that it is for your higher good. Make that your stipulation.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sept 22)
You are in the mood to make some deliberate changes in your usual routine. The overall quality of your entire lifestyle may be in question. You have been keen to do what it takes. In some respects this has pushed you to get to the bottom of things, to clear clutter, get organized and make some core repairs. Others have taken notice and they are pushing you to persevere.
Libra (Sept 22 – Oct 22)
You are in the mood to play. This is causing you to make some changes on relationships fronts, or at least significant others are motivating you. Yet your energy levels of state of health may be a barrier. The power of belief and faith are among your best allies now. Yet, herbal medicine and endeavors to boost your immune system in general will help a lot.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A lot is shaking within and on the home front. With each new day you feel the urge to explore new territory. This may be literal, as in geography, or it may be creative or intellectual territory that you have never been exposed to that attracts you. What is clear is that you want to make a break with the past.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Your curiosity levels are rising. Dreams of what might be are entering your mind. New and more satisfying relationships rhythms are featured. You want more stimulation, social interaction and variety. The time has come to visit new places and see new faces. Yet some important changes close to home may have to happen first. These may include attitude adjustments.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
You are feeling the urge to make some real power moves. This includes breaking free from old barriers and/or cutting ties that bind. On the flip side, forging new alliances with people of influence and affluence is extra appealing. If you can achieve both, make clean breaks and play for higher stakes, you could well be in promising new territory soon.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
A pioneering mood continues. This includes new perceptions as much as new places. Your desires, values and priorities are changing. You may not feel so sure where you fit or belong anymore. Deciphering your best place, position or approach is on your mind. A steep and possibly intimidating learning curve is implied.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Yours is the sign of the dreamer and the mystic, the one that lives in the world but is not of this material dimension, at least not entirely. The time has come to assert yourself. Will you move towards or away from your dreams and ideals? Moving away suggests denial and escapism. Moving towards means you are ready to take deliberate steps.
