You’ll never get too close to Armadillo as his hard shell will keep you at arm’s length! And, if this roly-poly fellow is in your reading, he’s asking YOU to examine the areas where you need a hard shell—boundaries! Do you “do” for everyone but never “do” for yourself? Or, are you being TOO sensitive, protecting yourself even when danger isn’t present?
You As The Achiever/The Entertainer
Solitude
Solitude is represented by a single person standing at the end of a boardwalk staring out at a vast, empty panorama. They are truly alone, but may not feel loneliness. They are at a place in their life where the need to withdraw from the our secular world is strong, because their focus should be on their inner self, their morality, and their dreams. The view before them is empty, but it is a canvas on which they may paint their future–a future restricted only by the size of their imagination and courage. For them Solitude is a choice. They chose to take the walkway that distances them from the rest of us. It is also a choice that can be undone. Just as they chose to take a path that leads them away from us, they may choose to turn around and come back at anytime.
You As The Realist/The Builder
The Golden Egg
The Golden Egg denotes the opportunity for substantial material gains. However, the Golden Egg is also a reminder that unmanaged greed ensures what gains are made will be lost.
You As The Communicator
The Hand
Although the exact meaning may vary, The Hand is a symbol of some form of personal power in many cultures and religions. The presence of The Hand is an indication that your personal powers are at or near their zenith. The Hand suggest a time when you should leave your mark on the world.
You As The Individualist/The Magician
The Believer
The Believer represents Faith and the realization that you have an important place in the workings of the Universe. Although The Believer may not always understand why things are the way they are, they none-the-less feel an underlying cosmic rhythm which is moving events in a direction that is good. The Believer rejoices in their celestial role, because they realize their life has purpose on a grand scale.
You As The Entrepreneur/The Goal-Setter
Death
Death is definitely not a card to shy away from. It does not foretell your impending doom. However it does suggest a period of change and the turbulence that often comes with it are on the horizon. We may not always welcome change, but invariably we must change to grow. Sometimes we have to shed some of the comfortability of who we are today to embrace the adventure of who we will be tomorrow. Death is the prophecy of such times.
The Hourglass is a gentle reminder that time passes and with it goes opportunity. Every moment is a moment we cannot retrieve or relive, and there are no guarantees that what we put off today really can be done tomorrow. The Hourglass urges us to make every second of our lives as rich and fulfilling as we possibly can.
As a daily card, The Hourglass suggest you may be allowing opportunities to pass you by. If you’ve been procrastinating or putting too much of your precious time into activities with no lasting value to you, now is the time for you redirect your energies into actions that will enrich your life.
Today’s Witches Rune
The Rings
Keywords: Love, relationships.
Meanings: The Rings is the rune of love and when it is the leading stone, it is a positive answer to your question. It is very much a rune of relationship and can indicate engagement, marriage or a new/renewed relationship. It can also indicate the need for a fresh approach to an existing relationship.
Only The Universe card of the Crowley Tarot can match the blessings that come with The Sun. While it certainly doesn’t promise a life’s path without some bumps in the road, The Sun indicates all will be well. The Sun is our Cosmic Nurturer. Life flourishes under its radiant beams. It provides the illumination to find Truths and lights one’s path so they do not get lost. To stand in the rays of The Sun is to shine. To absorb its energy promotes growth, exceptional physical and mental health, and good fortune. The Sun is empowering, elevating and fills those who bask in it with confidence and sense of self-worth.
True endurance is not based on rigidity, for endurance implies movement, not immobilization. Only by adapting to change can we stay in the race; but only by deepening our sense of purpose can we develop the fortitude to win it.
Continuity is achieved through movement, not by keeping still. That which has ceased to grow is close to death. Stay active, but allow yourself time to stay in touch with your innermost thoughts and feelings
This reading represents strengths you were born with.
The Moon
The Moon represents those forces which remain largely hidden to us. The light of the moon provides some illumination down a path into the unknown, but not enough to brighten the landscape like The Sun, or cut through the dark shadows from which the unexpected may leap. However, The Moon is not without gifts we can use. She spurs our imagination and creativity. She can be a portal to knowledge and experience beyond the realm of our everyday lives. But Her offerings are not available to the feint of heart. To receive what The Moon offers one must have the courage to follow uncharted paths and the intelligence to find truths hidden in a bewildering setting rife with illusion. For those who can make this journey the reward may be finding the key to making their dreams come true.
When The Magus or The Tower are among your personal cards, the influence of The Moon may be increased. Having The Star or The Sun in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Moon.
The Hermit
The Hermit denotes a need to have some space between you and everyday hustle and bustle of our busy world. The Hermit needs to retreat. Indeed, happiness for The Hermit requires seclusion, freedom from material wants, and time for intense introspection. The answers The Hermit needs cannot be found in our physical world. The truths he seeks are internal, spiritual, and the distraction of a well developed social life can only impede his quest for his personal truths. Still, although not anything remotely resembling extroversion, The Hermit does sometimes need to share time with others; so he can learn or teach, guide and be guided. The Hermit’s time spent amongst people depletes his energy quickly. To avoid an overload he has to retreat from social settings quickly.
When The High Priestess is among your personal cards, the influence of The Hermit may be increased. Having The World or The Lovers in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Hermit.
Aries
You may be focusing on paperwork, errands, sending out emails, and making calls that you may have put off today, dear Aries. You might get the chance to clear something up in your professional dealings or with your reputation. While you can be quite persuasive now, do keep in mind that what you say and do today has more impact than usual on your reputation. Your advice may be sought, and there is good energy for new creative approaches to a work project or to your career in general. The Sun will move out of your career and reputation sector tomorrow morning, and you’ll be drawn to activities in which you can express the individualistic, inventive, and independent side to your nature.
Taurus
Good energy is with you for for creative problem solving, particularly with family and around the home, dear Taurus. You are also better able to help people understand your point of view today, and to clarify recent misunderstandings. The Moon moves out of your sign this morning, and into your resources sector. This change can act to steady your emotions as you are thinking more in terms of the longview than the immediate. The Sun is about to move to the top of your solar chart, and this will bring a more take-charge attitude towards your goals and responsibilities over the coming weeks. Today is more about getting comfortable and feeling secure.
Gemini
The Moon returns to your sign today as it does for approximately two and a half days every four weeks, dear Gemini, re-energizing you on an emotional level. Emotional energy, of course, can feed you when physical energy is at a low, and it can provide you with the motivation to get started on new projects, health programs, or anything else that will help you to move forward, and today is about starting fresh on an emotional level, although it’s the last day of the Sun’s transit of your intimacy sector, making it also appropriate to wrap up relationship matters. You might be the one to solve a problem or mystery, or to uncover an important truth, and others admire your brilliance in the matter. Plans can be drawn and problems can be solved. Intimate matters can also benefit from further thought or conversation.
Cancer
The Moon moves into your privacy sector early today, dear Cancer, and the next couple of days you’re likely to be drawn to behind the scenes activities and some level of anonymity. The Sun is spending its last day in your partnership sector today, but before it leaves, it meets up with Pallas, stimulating an opportunity to look at matters of partnering and relationships in a logical way. Today is very strong for problem solving that gets results in a partnership. You may be putting a situation that was unfair or imbalanced behind you now. There can be a strong focus on evening things out or leveling the playing field with a significant person in your life. There might also be some wistfulness experienced now.
Leo
The Moon moves into your ideals sector early today, dear Leo, and you’ll be drawn to activities that put you into contact with others, and that have fewer rules and expectations. You are likely to find yourself in pleasant agreement with important others in your life and making connections with people tends to be easier right now. The Sun spends its last day in your work and health sector today, with the coming weeks more focused on sharing, connecting, and partnering. Today, good energy is with you for clarifying or closing a work or health matter. You might find a new way to perform a task or resolve a problem that improves your daily routines and even your health.
Virgo
Today is very strong for creative pursuits of all kinds, dear Virgo, with the Sun spending its last day in your creative sector hooked up with Pallas, which will also move on shortly. Your sense of harmony and balance is powerful. If you need to finalize a design or bring better balance to a creative project, now is a good time to do so. Your powers of negotiation are strong. The Moon moves into your reputation and career sector early today, bringing with it a theme of following the rules and meeting your responsibilities. This brief transit is best used for attention to priorities, as this will put you into a more empowered, satisfied frame of mind.
Libra
The Moon moves into your sector of the higher mind early today, dear Libra, and this draws out your natural courage as well as your desire to explore, reach out beyond your usual bounds, and to learn. Your sense of justice is stimulated now quite strongly, not only due to this Moon position but with the Sun in alignment with Pallas. If something has been unfair or imbalanced, particularly around the home or with family and friends, you’ll want to address this now. Today is good for problem solving around the home and with family or personal matters, and it’s also strong for bringing more beauty and balance to your domestic world. The Sun spends its last day in this sector of your chart, and will move to your creative, expressive solar fifth house tomorrow.
Scorpio
You are likely quite attracted to intellectual activities today, dear Scorpio, but to satisfy your inner cravings you might want to throw yourself into an art project or pet hobby, as you are especially creative these days. Exchanges with others can be significant today. There can be enlightening, or at least very interesting, conversations. If you need to talk, and you probably will, there seems to be someone there to talk to – it’s just one of those days. A good deed from the past can benefit you. There is excellent energy for solving problems, particularly mechanical and learning/schooling ones. There can be a gently competitive feeling with your communications. There is a lot of wisdom in what you have to say. It’s a great day for smoothing over differences, although it’s important to avoid too much scorekeeping.
Sagittarius
Energy for personal initiatives may be low today, dear Sagittarius, but especially high for making solid connections with others. It’s a good day for feeling that you’re making real and useful contributions to other people’s lives. It certainly helps that lovely, gracious Venus is traveling in your sign these days, because this makes you especially companionable.
Good energy is also with you for problem solving with business, financial, and practical affairs. Planning, structuring, and seeing patterns comes more naturally now.
Capricorn
This is likely to be a very productive day, dear Capricorn, one in which you can make solid progress in whatever you are doing, and the more practical the activity the better as far as you are concerned right now. Energy is excellent for fixing problems and getting things up and running smoothly again. You are receiving a lot of attention, and you may be turned to for advice. There can be an opportunity to see an old problem in a new way, and to sort it out. It can be a little too easy, however, to become worked up over inconsistencies or imbalance.
Aquarius
Taking part in a useful yet creative project or hobby today can be especially satisfying, dear Aquarius. You are interested in learning about things that are truly valuable and practical, so anything that ups your practical skills will be appealing. You find it quite natural to reach out to others today, after a couple days of some introspection. Even so, there is still quite a bit going on behind the scenes. You are giving plenty of thought to the past, and today, there is good energy for making some sense of recent musings. You are better able to see patterns and may very well discover a missing puzzle piece to an emotional problem or dilemma.This comes at a good time, as the Sun is on the verge of entering your sign, making it appropriate to put something behind you before moving forward.
Pisces
Opt for a more relaxed, creative, and easygoing approach to the day, dear Pisces, with the Moon entering your sector of home and family this morning. There may be some head vs. heart issues to deal with today, but nothing you can’t sort out rather quickly. While you can be a little retiring now, you’re not unsociable, and in fact, today is strong for building rapport with friends or associates. It’s also strong for talking through tricky areas and topics, such as power dynamics and balance. Work matters can also be dissected with relative ease. You’re seeing important patterns and you might come up with some interesting, well-structured plans and designs. The Sun is about to enter your privacy sector (it will make the move tomorrow), and focus in the coming weeks can turn to the past and activities that heal, replenish, and refresh.
Cusp, Capricorn, Astrology, Aquarius
What happens when you combine the energies of capable Capricorn and quirky Aquarius? You get highly unique individuals, that’s what. If you were born between about January 17 and January 23, you were born on The Cusp of Mystery and Imagination, and there’s never a dull moment.
Whether outwardly flamboyant or shy and quiet, Capricorn-Aquarius cuspers always have much excitement going on internally. They have vivid dreams and rich fantasies that need to be expressed creatively if they’re to be happy.
Prone to leading unusual lives, “Capriquarians” often struggle to balance the two very different sides of their personalities — they are reserved yet social, security-craving but independent, and traditional yet offbeat.
Capricorn-Aquarius cuspers love to talk and entertain, and they especially enjoy intellectually stimulating conversations about any manner of strange topics. This is why no matter how hard they work or how dedicated they are to achieving their goals, things are never dull.
While hard-work and high standards bring these cuspers much success in most career endeavors, they can have more difficulty maintaining personal relationships. This is perhaps due to a need for independence, and a tendency to seem aloof and critical — sometimes even selfish. However, if they can put forth the loyal, funny and friendly sides of themselves they’ll make fast friends.

While you are essentially conservative and of practical mind, you do have an emotional and impulsive streak. There is an inner restlessness in you that can sometimes be at the root of dramas in your life if you examine it closely. You prefer to be self-taught, finding much to enjoy in learning new things through your own studies. Poised, dynamic, and benevolent, you are an intriguing mix of intuition and practicality.

Aries
You can have your head in the clouds today, dear Aries, in an entirely
good way. This morning, you’re looking for a bit of inspiration, and
probably finding it in hidden places or in your imagination. This is a
time for believing in your plans and faith in your ability to bring your dreams to reality. Intimate matters are warm, easy, and natural. Peace with the past, even in a small dose, can be refreshing. Towards midday, there can be some worries and impending obligations to deal with – a small reality check. As the day advances, you’re in a good position to open up to someone. It’s also a strong time for coming up with real, useful plans and ideas for the future. Your talents may be on show in some way, or others are noticing your efforts, intelligence, or wit.
Taurus
The Moon in your sign, all day, stimulates your need to acknowledge your emotions, dear Taurus. Emotional needs are more pronounced now, but there’s also a focus on your connections. This is a good day for helping and enjoying a partner and/or friends. You may be putting a little more faith in a dream, and given to fantasize or pursue some of your more unusual desires. People seem more accepting and generous, and pressures tend to ease. It can feel especially good to understand people and for them to truly “get” you as well. You may be fascinated with, or persuaded by, someone today. Tonight, you can learn and guide others through sharing ideas, cultural tidbits, and so forth. Your mood is exploratory and playful, and you’re coming across well.
Gemini
You might wonder why you worry so much today, dear Gemini, as it’s truly a waste of time and psychic energy, and it’s easier to see this with the energies of the day. Make time, if possible, for relaxing activities. This can be a nice day for coming up with creative solutions to problems, or to discover a new line of thinking, a program for health management, or work idea. You typically welcome activity and movement in your life, but allowing time to process recent events and to enjoy the moment can be refreshing now. The Moon in your privacy sector all day is another message from the cosmos to slow down a little, get extra rest, build strength, and take a break from demanding or competitive situations. As the day advances, communications improve.
Cancer
You feel a little freer freer to express yourself today, dear Cancer, and others are responding to you well, although there may be some clarifications to make with a significant other. Sometimes, it’s healthier to let something go and move on, and today this can be obvious. Shared goals and visions are appreciated, and imperfections in yourself and others are either ignored or, if they are recognized, seem rather endearing. You could be drawn to someone who exudes strength or who easily and readily takes the lead. News might be touching and inspirational. Your own mood is cooperative, and you may be meeting with people who either share and reinforce your perspective on life, or appreciate it. Spirited connections might be made.
Leo
The morning brings good energy for resolving conflicts, dear Leo, even if these are simply within yourself. Negative thoughts and feelings of resentment might be effectively released through massage, body work, and various activities that relieve stress and calm you down. It’s a time for making adjustments and adapting rather than for bold moves. Some form of realignment or re-routing can do you good. Slowing down can actually help you to advance both in your personal and professional lives. Whether you’re giving support or receiving it, it can feel good to take action on emotional matters. You are in need of some type of spiritual or creative escape. Towards midday, there can be technical problems to deal with, likely to do with work or creative pursuits. However, as the day advances, communication problems tend to iron themselves out, if only for the time being. Your mind is very tuned in for research and analysis. An intimate conversation can be revealing.
Virgo
Sometimes we need to let go of attempting to control our lives and surrender to the unknown, dear Virgo, and a Mars-Neptune influence this morning is a reminder to nurture your faith. Sharing ideals and more spiritual goals with someone special can be in focus now. Partnerships can thrive as you can experience a strong feeling of intuitive connection. You may even be finishing someone’s sentences. The Moon harmonizes with yours all day, and this stimulates your seeking, hopeful, and courageous side. It’s not the time to tie you down, but you’re also relaxed enough to enjoy yourself and your connections with others. Towards midday, there can be some practical problems to iron out, particularly around the home or with projects close to your heart. However, as the day advances, it can be a great time for expressing your more poetic and thoughtful side. Someone may help release you from a pressure or worry.
Libra
You can benefit from some brisk physical activity and creative pursuits this morning, dear Libra, which can feel especially healing. Releasing recent tensions about money or time management is likely now, and can even indirectly lead to a wonderful idea for solving problems in these areas. The natural arts can appeal and soothe greatly now – earthy activities, photography, pottery, and so forth. Anything that gives form to some of your feelings can benefit. A partner or significant people in your life can be more understanding, accepting, or possibly even romantic. Even so, there can be some indecision with family and perhaps you could feel that others are not on board with your plans. The things that seem to be larger than life midday tend to shrink back to their petty size as the day progresses. There is a “live and let live” energy now that allows you to let go of negative thought patterns. You might discover something about your line of work and how to make it more suitable to your mission in life.
Scorpio
Both competitive and cooperative activities can do well early today, dear Scorpio. Even with Mars in your sign encouraging you to get moving, its trine to Neptune today suggests that it’s best to take things naturally, slowly, and patiently at the moment. Energy levels tend to be even and smooth. Creatively and romantically, you are in good form – and in a good light as well. Others are drawn to you magnetically. Release pressures to control your day and others, which will come naturally tonight. Towards midday, there can be problems getting your point across, and you could find that people around you are a little sluggish or not very gracious. As the day advances, they’re more inclined to put their faith in your powers of reasoning, and for good reason. You are willing to take some creative risks when it comes to writing and speaking, and the results are super. You are bright and alert, yet also more sensitive to how others are receiving your message. You just might even be feeling a bit poetic!
Sagittarius
This morning’s “live and let live” attitude becomes you, dear Sagittarius. You’re feeling a little withdrawn anyhow, and happy to release negative feelings. Dreams, whether they occur while sleeping or awake, are rich now, and intuition is elevated to entirely new levels. Let your imagination run wild. Focus healing energy inward. Clear the decks for future action. Tensions of the “real world” tend to hit towards midday, which can be frustrating but entirely manageable. Communicating effectively hasn’t been at its peak recently, but as the day advances, you’ll feel that it’s easier to get your message across, and that people are a little more accepting and willing to listen. You are also tuning in to the right cues on practical levels now. A family or money problem may iron itself out, with a little help from your ability to approach a dilemma patiently.
Capricorn
Cooperation is vital to your happiness early today, dear Capricorn, and you’ll avoid any situations that seem to promise conflict or negative vibes. You have no time for conflict or competition. The usual goals or desires that goad you on tend to fall into the background long enough for you to consider more spiritual or neglected emotional areas. You are looking for inspiration, and something you read or that’s communicated in your networks can be just the ticket. Minor irritations can seem larger than life towards midday. Let go of negatively spiralling thoughts, and you should enjoy a lot more peace and quiet as the day advances. Inspiration can come from a communication from a friend. Communicating your intentions is exceptionally natural right now, which is refreshing as there can be little worse than having to explain yourself at every turn – something that may be more frequent these days with retrograde Mercury in your sign.
Aquarius
The nesting urge is a little stronger than usual for you today, dear Aquarius. Retreating from worldly concerns temporarily if only in spirit can in fact renew you for the next round of activity. Your hunches or ideas today can be very much worth your attention. Even though it seems counter-productive, sometimes slowing down helps us to move forward as we stop overthinking, and this can be the case now. Towards midday, there can be some miscommunications or coolness in others to contend with, but as the day advances, people seem more and more willing to listen rather than making quick judgments. This atmosphere is a tonic for you. Find ways to unwind and enjoy easier, more intuitive conversations. Alternatively, if you are looking for answers to nagging personal problems, you may very well find the necessary resources with a little effort.
Pisces
This morning, you can feel right in your element, dear Pisces, with Mars in harmony with Neptune, your ruler, in your sign. Take advantage of this energy and aim to reduce stress and to let go of unreasonable pressures, even if it means disengaging yourself from tense feelings or thoughts, and removing yourself from unpleasant environments. Others are likely to appreciate and enjoy your point of view and unique perspective, and you may be moved to reach out and support or help someone in need. Business ideas can be especially creative and imaginative now, so take special note. Towards midday, you can be made aware of practical responsibilities getting in the way of your personal plans. As the day advances, it’s easier to relate to others in the way that suits you best – with understanding and fairness. Effective communications are not all about scoring intellectual points, and tonight’s energies favor the human element involved.
On Monday, you might be in danger of getting too much of a good thing. Venus will square off with Jupiter, amplifying the potential for your lover to spoil you rotten with attention or indulgent gifts. Mars will trine Neptune on the same day, providing a fantasy land atmosphere for you and your mate to express your wildest romantic dreams together. On Saturday, a Full Moon in Leo adds to the romance potential — hearts will be full! The one caveat? On the same day, Venus moves into sobering Capricorn, reminding all of us that in reality, love doesn’t come easily.
A Full Moon in your romance sector on Saturday will lead to a turning point in your love life. Luckily, it appears that your heart is full and you’re in a very happy place with someone special. If you’ve been casually dating someone, you might realize that your feelings run much deeper than you’ve let on. Also, another important consideration in love will reveal itself: does your sweetheart add or detract from your reputation? Suddenly, this question becomes more vital for you to answer.
You’ll feel the power of love this week in the most astounding way. Your mate will have the ability to lift you up and help you materialize one of your most heartfelt goals. He or she will support you as you dream big, but even more so, will remind you that you have all the muscle you need inside of yourself to make this dream come true. Still doubt yourself? Don’t. Your partner will help you every step of the way!
Communicating from the heart will be much easier. By Saturday, you’ll know that no matter what, it’s time to be true to your feelings and to express them to the person who matters most. Also, after Saturday and until February 16, there might be a welcome boost in finances for you and your partner to enjoy together. He or she might receive a raise or the two of you might learn that an investment has done better than either of you expected.
Your partner will leave you feeling more appreciated and validated this week on so many levels. For starters, you can expect a boost in overall confidence due to your mate being so open about how awesome he or she thinks you are. In addition, if you and your partner are thinking about making a stronger commitment to each other, between Saturday and February 16, there’s a good indication that you’ll take the plunge.
This week’s Full Moon in your sign will signal a peak in emotional sensitivity for you. There’s no way for you to be casual or nonchalant about your feelings for someone special. In fact, you might suddenly feel an urgency to define a relationship that you previously felt comfortable letting flow. If single, after Saturday, the potential for an office romance heats up. Alternatively, you might meet someone sexy at the gym or while waiting for a doctor’s appointment.
Love is in the air! If you’re single and hoping to open your heart, you’re in luck. On Saturday, Venus will move into your romance sector where she’ll remain until February 16. Under the blessings of this cosmic energy you might meet someone very special — someone who truly magnetizes you. Even if you’re attached there’s good news. You and your lover might find more time to share in the pleasures of life together. Or, you could be thinking about having a baby together.
Your family’s opinion about your love life will become more important after Saturday. Luckily, it appears that they’ll offer you nothing but supportive words and positive vibes. If you haven’t yet introduced your sweetheart to your clan, consider making that happen between Saturday and February 16. There’s every indication that your clan will welcome your sweetie right into the family with open arms! In other news, there’s potential that one of your friends knows exactly who to set you up with if you’re single. Be open.
Your most dreamy romantic fantasies are about to be brought to life this week. On Monday, Mars, now in your sign, will be at a perfect angle to Neptune, the planet of unconditional love which is currently nestled in your true love sector. Mars is action, ambition and libido. He helps us go after whatever we want with courage and wild abandon. This week, there’s no doubt about it — you’re going after the love of a lifetime. And there’s every indication that you’ll get it.
An unexpected argument between you and your lover might hint at trouble in paradise. On Wednesday, be certain that you really want to “go there” with your sweetheart. A seemingly innocent conversation may suddenly take a troubled turn and before you know it, you’ll be engaged in a war of words. The topic? Money, of course. Then tension might only continue into Friday if you’re not careful. But then again, this blow-up might be long overdue.
Venus enters your sign on Saturday, helping improve your love life in every possible way. Additionally, a Full Moon on Saturday will fall in your 8th House of Shared Resources and Intimacy. This happens to be the area of your chart that connects to where you feel most vulnerable. Remember, true love begins with giving your lover permission to access those places you want to hide. This week, you might be ready to do exactly that.
Emotions may run high for you and your partner this week. Your love connection will be a focus thanks to Saturday’s Full Moon in your relationship sector. A sense of fulfillment is possible, but you might also feel hypersensitive and more vulnerable in matters of the heart. Adding to this is the fact that Venus will enter the most private area of your chart on the same day. Romantic insecurities might need to be addressed.
Your social life will be the key to your love life. Starting Saturday and until February 16, Venus will move through your 11th House of Friends. This is also the area of your chart connected to your greatest hopes. With Venus here, if falling in love is on your list of top aspirations, you’ll now have extraordinary support to help make that happen. Be sure to accept a friend’s invitation to set you up on a blind date if single. Magic is in the air!

Going to Far
On Monday, Venus will square Jupiter, which can easily turn into too much of a good thing. Yes, Venus and Jupiter are known as the two benefic planets in the zodiac, so when they are together in a harsh square, you don’t expect too many problems. But that is, in fact, the problem. You might easily overdo it financially or in another area of your life. Be aware! Mars also trines Neptune on this day, which will help you work on one of your great dreams in a tangible way.
On Wednesday, the Sun enters innovative Aquarius, inspiring everyone to “get their geek on!” Unfortunately, Mercury will square Uranus (the ruler of Aquarius) on the same day making it difficult for others to decipher or support your brilliant ideas.
With Mercury conjunct Pluto on Friday, you may only feel tempted to push even harder until you get your point across to someone. Be careful; a mental explosion is possible!
Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo should be filled with romance and pleasure, but the fact that Venus enters sober Capricorn on the same day will tone it down a few notches. Sure you’ll still have fun, but with Venus in Capricorn, there needs to be a point to all the pleasure. Don’t worry; you’ll find it.

Place the picture on a table or shelf so that it is at eye level. Concentrate on the picture and see in your mind’s eye the person overcoming his or her illness. Begin by saying the following prayer:
“Great Goddess Nungeena on this hour,
Allow me to be your channel of power.
Let your forces now work through me
For this I will so shall it be.”
Visualize the person you wish to heal. Begin by tying each feather, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet (evenly spaced), into the cord as you chant:
“By the knot of one, this spell has now begun.
By the knot of two I shall now heal you.
By the knot of three, I give healing power to thee.
By the knot of four, you are strengthened ever more.
By the knot of five, you will not begin to thrive.
By the knot of six, your illness I now fix.
With this knot of seven, your illness is gone,
you are now healthy, from this moment on.”
To complete the spell, wrap the cord and feathers around the person’s picture and store in a safe place.
In Australia this day was dedicated to the Aborigine Mother Goddess Nungeena. According to her legend, evil spirits destroyed the earth with insects. Nugeena then created the most beautiful birds of all: lyre birds. These magnificent creatures in turn made other birds, who assisted with the work of clearing away the insects and restoring the world to its original beauty.
