Horoscope for the week beginning February 15
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Questions concerning the start date of the Age of Aquarius abound where discussions about Astrology occur.
There is debate as to which Age we are in. From the standpoint of synchronicity and the ‘signs’ of our times, the Age of Aquarius has certainly dawned. Aquarius and its ruling planet Uranus are symbolic of revolution. Well, we are experiencing revolution on every front of modern civilization.
Common characteristics for Aquarius include science, technology, innovation and invention, rebellion and revolution, friends and friendliness, clubs and networks, hopes and wishes, humanitarianism and democracy, individuality and eccentricity, fame and popularity.
Yes, the ‘signs’ of Aquarius are very evident in the world. People often look to Aquarius in a very positive light. Other signs are perceived to be darker or of lower vibration. Such attitudes are inaccurate. Every archetype, just like people, has its light and dark sides. As a Fixed Sign, Aquarius is linked to the other signs of Fixed Modality, which includes Leo, Taurus and Scorpio. As an Air Sign, Aquarius shares affinity with Gemini and Libra. These are the primary connections but the list goes on. So, to gain a full spectrum understanding of Aquarius, it is necessary to look to the positive and negative poles of each these signs as well.
Now looking to the human condition with its numerous revolutionary challenges, dramas, crisis and horrors we can gain a whole and balanced perspective on Aquarius. Many hold great hopes for the Aquarian Age and it helps to understand it in its full light.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Quality time shared with friends verses yielding to an inward pull are the source of conflicting desires. Alternations between curiosity of and anticipation for the future are making you feel temperamental, in an emotional flux. Solutions: Take command of your emotions; let go of the illusion of control of outer situations; and ride those turbulent waves, gracefully!
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Are you getting all the attention you want, or is it too much? The balance can be delicate, like now. We all need, want and deserve recognition and privacy, from time to time. Timing is a key factor and our desires can be out of sync with outer circumstances. The flip side is to acknowledge others and decipher if they need some time out. Exercise social grace.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Your sense of individuality has been getting a lot of stimulation. Some of this has come from philosophical reflection. Ideally some has come from travel and/or cultural activities. You still may not be sure where you belong exactly, but you could be learning and progressing all the same. Now it is time to pay more attention to your dreams, literally.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Whose genius do you require to activate your own? This question will linger a little longer. Ironically, at least half the answer is that it is your own genius that you seek; the proverbial diamonds in your own backyard. However, these are likely buried beneath habitual perceptions, attitudes and behaviour patterns. Soar with imagination to gain a fresh perspective.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Satisfying social exchanges continue yet will shift somewhat this week to fulfill a need for sanctuary. But do not expect to be passive. A passionate urge to dive deep may even lead you to confront some long standing fears. Sharing this time with someone you love could satisfy a festering appetite. As romantic as it sounds, you mean business!
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Gaining awareness of what you truly need verses simply want continues. Implied is the nudge to be open to and acknowledge any blind spots. Everyone has at least some. To be open to receive and able to accept and, above all, act upon constructive criticism, is a true reflection of the wisdom of humility. You have no problem giving it, but can you take it?
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
The last licks of a playful cycle are available now. Perhaps the tone has been more dramatic than lighthearted. Either way, you will be more willing to work the angles. Desires for fun are still lingering. Direct your imagination to contribute but keep it away from the worry jar. If you go too far you may fall in. Be selective with your associations and aim for uplifting entertainments.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A lot has been shifting and shaking close to home and this will continue. At the most literal level, home is where your heart is, literally. Wherever you go there you… project what is within attracting people and circumstances without. Positively, you are moved to create beauty around you. Practically, you want to make improvements. Romantically, you dream on…
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A flood of fresh ideas are flowing in. These are producing inspirations to make changes in your space. Cleaning, decorating, renovating… they all apply. This trend will continue for the next several weeks. However, when Mercury turns retrograde on the 23rd, and even leading up to that date, your resolve could dissolve. Take initiative now to create momentum to see you through.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Your energy levels are beginning to rise. That you want to harness them to make a break is your business. A disruption in our regular routine is a form of brain food. Satisfying the hunger of awakened desires is the key to offset the depression of repression. How to achieve satisfaction so that the repercussion does not accrue undue debt is a worthwhile question.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
Sometimes it is good to play it safe while at others it is better to try anything once, like now. You are in as long as it does not require a lot of input. A growing urge to plod and graze is taking the fire out of your desire. Yet, you are curious enough to engage your imagination. Avoid over committing to people and situations now. Be strategic to get the most for the least.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Many thoughts and ideas have been brewing. Now you feel a growing determination to act on them. If you are organized and have assembled the appropriate tools and resources, your confidence levels will be up. If you have not made preparations, make them now. This includes a strategic outreach to key contacts. Stimulate friendships, inside and out!
