Your Psychic Tip of the Day

The Chariot

---

Use your powers of freedom and flexibility to drive your future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

General Meaning

The Chariot Tarot card points to a triumphal feeling of freedom, as if the Charioteer is being paraded through the streets as a hero (or heroine). The card reflects congratulations for high achievement, and serves as a sign of empowerment.

Huge wheels and frisky steeds speed the rate at which the driver’s will power can be realized. This kind of charge makes more of the world accessible to one ambitious enough to seize The Chariot’s reins. But there is danger in this feeling of freedom, because of the increased rate of change and its power to magnify mistakes in judgment. As a seasoned warrior, the Charioteer is called upon to be extra attentive to the way ahead.

In the Advice Position

Look upon the movements of change as full of promise and adventure.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Chariot advises that you be prepared for changes that might include a move or an opportunity to travel. The Charioteer travels light and stays open to fresh experiences that change with every valley or mountain pass.

You may be asked to live out of a suitcase and consider every place your home for a while. Be receptive to new people who come into your life. Most especially, become more fluid and taste the joys of freedom. The Charioteer is nothing if not self-sufficient.

Be prepared and self-contained for the changes that will sweep in and carry you with them.

Your Career Horoscopes for the Week of February 19th

Peter Watson, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES   Mar 21 – Apr 20
By the middle of this week when you start to feel the impact of Mercury aligning itself in a helpful way with Saturn you’ll realise that certain rules, regulations and protocols have to be explained to some of your colleagues or associates.  This is not because you want to take control of whatever setting or organisation you find yourself in. It’s more a case of your needing to feel certain of the fact that you and those around you are operating to the same high standards.  One or two people may suggest you’re becoming a little bit obsessive about all of this.  Let them say whatever they want.  The important thing is that you feel that you’re on safe ground and you’re making sure that those around you are, too.

TAURUS  Apr 21 – May 21
When it becomes obvious, this week, that other people aren’t able to do what’s required of them you’ll wonder whether it’s right that you’re expected to come to their rescue.  Yes, you would dearly love to see the whole thing succeed.  But as you feel the build-up to a clash between Mars and Venus which occurs at the weekend, you’ll have a sense that at least one of the people involved resents the way in which you’re often able to take the lead.  And on this occasion you’ll realise that you don’t want to pull out all the stops and rescue the situation if you can hear, in the background, negative remarks being made.  You’ve clearly got to clarify the matter with whoever is concerned if you are to save the day.

GEMINI   May 22 – Jun 21
Has a partnership matter or a work-related situation been allowed to take care of itself for far too long?  Perhaps you feel that you should flex your muscles and show that you intend to make radical changes, no matter how it affects the other person or persons involved.   The fact that Pluto’s forming a sharp link with Mercury does suggest that you may be a little bit too robust – possibly even fearsome – when you begin the conversation.  So you should try to come across as firm but friendly and polite.  And remember that whatever the problem might be it hasn’t been created by one person alone.  There is always more than one side to stories such as this and you need to have a clear view of the whole picture before you swing into action.

CANCER   Jun 22 – Jul 23
Every now and again you have a burning desire to confront difficult or unusual issues with colleagues, employers or companions.  Certainly towards the end of this week when Mercury gets into a spat with Uranus you’ll come very close to using shock tactics to bring one or two of your grievances or negative thoughts out into the open.  And that’s all right provided you’re very careful not to give rise to a permanent rift or cause offence of the kind that will hang around for months or even years.  Yes, by all means let Uranus encourage you to find creative, inventive ways of opening up useful discussions.  But also remember you have a reputation to take care of and you don’t want to be perceived as a bully, troublemaker or tyrant.

LEO   Jul 24 – Aug 23
Yours is a positive sign.  So you can become irritated with people who persistently see the negative side of whatever you and they are trying to do together.  This week you and certain individuals will be discussing a piece of work or an idea which is based partly on hopes and dreams as well as the practicalities of the situation.  So optimism will be called for.  And Venus allied to Neptune could help you persuade those around you that there’s great value in concentrating on what can be done rather than paying too much attention to what might prove tricky.  If you can all face in the same direction and stand side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder, you might well be able to achieve something pretty remarkable. But negativity and pessimism must be kept to an absolute minimum.

VIRGO   Aug 24 – Sep 23
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself closely and successfully alongside people you don’t know too well.  Or perhaps they’re friends rather than colleagues. Whichever the case may be Uranus, still travelling through Aries, will encourage you to take a rather different and daring approach to one particular plan or project.  And you’ll feel fairly confident that you’ll get a good result.  It’s just a pity that Uranus is being confronted by Mercury towards the end of the week.  This means that one particular individual who feels entitled to interfere, or at least comment on what you’re doing, is likely to step out of line.  Your challenge will be to find a way to persuade this individual to withdraw and not make an unnecessary fuss over something which, really and truly, is your business.

LIBRA   Sep 24 – Oct 23
Ordinarily you would be happy to listen to the opinions of people close to you if it seems that they genuinely want to help you with a professional or financial matter that’s causing you to work overtime.  This week, however, as you’re impacted by the Sun approaching a helpful link with Saturn, you might well decide that you need to be handling things on your own.  Saturn does have a way of bringing out in you self-discipline, determination and a way of getting the results you want and need.  So don’t be afraid to suggest to these caring individuals that they leave you to handle matters on your own – at least in the early stages.  And maybe you’ll turn to them a little later on if you think you do need some support from outside.

SCORPIO   Oct 24 – Nov 22
Highly imaginative ways of handling a business or money-related challenge will seem to you to be the answer this week. And Venus in a creative section of your chart you will help you see that there’s great value in going about things in an exciting way.  Remember, however, that at the weekend Venus gets into a spat with Mars.  And this could mean that some of your ideas are knocked down in flames by people – probably one in particular – expecting you to lower your sights and take a more conventional approach to whatever you’re doing.  Only you can decide whether or not you should continue with your unorthodox and inspired way of working. Just make sure you don’t allow negative comments to unnerve you at a point when you would really love to stretch yourself.

SAGITTARIUS   Nov 23 – Dec 21
An ongoing situation might force you to take a more proactive and assertive position with regard to the way in which colleagues or associates are quibbling about the contribution they should be making to a plan or idea involving you and them.  You would prefer not to go into battle about it.  But as you feel the impact of the Sun getting into a fight with Pluto you’ll decide you can no longer risk coming across as a pushover.  Take care because with Pluto involved there’s always a possibility that you’ll go too far and cause more upsets or perhaps even damage than you need to.  There are other ways of persuading people that they need to be more compliant than they have been without coming across as a tyrant.

CAPRICORN   Dec 22 – Jan 20
It might be hard for you, at first, to veer away from a familiar structure or way of working this week when people talk about introducing new or unusual tactics and techniques into proceedings.  It’s not your fault.  It’s just that strict and sober Saturn, your ruler, is still in your sign.  However, around the middle of the week Saturn joins forces with Mercury in a way that should help you accept proposals being put forward by other people rather than dismiss them out of hand.  Mercury will help you analyse what’s being said and suggested and see how it could now be incorporated into ideas which you thought were set in concrete.  They’re not.  Let Mercury remind you of how flexible you can be when the situation is right for you to do so.

AQUARIUS   Jan 21 – Feb 19
People insisting that money is the main ingredient with regard to an interesting deal that’s being brokered may have to be put right.  And you’re the one to do it, especially if their materialistic attitude has hampered your progress in the past.  You are being affected by Neptune’s tie-up with Venus this week.  And it means that you’ll realise very quickly that originality and inventiveness are required if something is to succeed in the way in which you’d like it to.  So those individuals who keep counting the pennies and fretting about what’s coming in and going out need to be reminded that there are ways of achieving what’s wanted without spending a fortune.  This week especially you should be at your most inspired and creative.  Refuse to let other people’s hang-ups hold you back.

PISCES   Feb 20 – Mar 20
Uranus in Aries means you sometimes give others a bit of a shock because of the way in which you approach financial or professional situations.  Then you manage, eventually, to persuade everyone that you know what you’re doing and that you would never take unnecessary risks or become unable to bring about a good result.  But this week with Uranus being confronted by Mercury you’ll wonder why one or two individuals are being critical of you on a rather personal level.  It will seem that they’re finding fault with aspects of your personality and character which, according to them, are affecting your thinking with regard to financial or work-related matters.  Make up your mind to confront these people and put them right. Some deep and meaningful probing is required fairly soon.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, February 20th

Aries

The Moon in your sign aligns with Uranus today, dear Aries, and your desire for independence or the chance to initiate something exciting or unique is strong. Suspicions may be raised later today, but avoid jumping to conclusions. While Mercury is encouraging you to process recent events and pay particular attention to mental health and needs for healthy escapes from the routine these days, Pluto is connecting to Mercury in a minor but challenging aspect, suggesting some difficulty separating your responsibilities from your downtime. The Moon’s move into your resources sector is grounding, and its support of the Sun in your privacy sector suggests a chance to catch your breath and simplify.

 

Taurus

You’re moving towards an excellent influence for friendships and feelings of kinship or forgiveness of past grievances, dear Taurus, but today, there can be some picky problems to deal with first. In fact, difficulties understanding a situation now can lead to robust solutions and good feelings. This is also a potent period for new plans and projects related to happiness rather than career or other goals, and similar hurdles to clear might emerge along these lines. Discouragement, if you feel it now, is temporary. You may need to second-guess yourself before putting your faith into something or someone. Later today, the Moon moves into your sign, firing up your emotional sensors. Its harmony with the Sun reaffirms that friendships and connections to causes and dreams/plans for the future are where to pour your energies and attention at this time.

 

Gemini

This year, your social life is set to stabilize after an extended period in which it was pretty much a wild card in your solar chart, dear Gemini. Today, however, you can feel some uncertainties about a relationship or plans that are up in the air. While your thinking tends to be practical and goal-oriented these days, emotional matters can muddy the waters today, and you can find it difficult concentrating. Sharing an activity with someone would be ideal right now, but be ready for some touchy conversations. Second-guessing something is likely now. However, this gives you the chance to better understand yourself and your goals, which helps you in the long run.

 

Cancer

You’re in an especially favorable period for new experiences, learning, and general outlook these days, dear Cancer, but today, there can be some small obstacles or a mood dip to contend with. You may want to watch your communications today, which may sound sarcastic or cynical without intending them to be. It’s best to put more thought into how we phrase questions and our tone today as things can be taken the wrong way. Perhaps more importantly, it’s best not to waste too much time on regret. Take what you need to learn from an experience and avoid dwelling. Interactions with a partner or close friend can feel a little loaded as Mercury and Pluto clash. However, it’s possible that some doubt is a good thing for you now as you test the strength of a venture or idea.

 

Leo

There can be a tendency today to focus on what’s not working rather than what is, dear Leo, with a Mercury-Pluto minor but stressful aspect influencing the day. This is just fine up to a certain point, but taken too far, of course, it becomes counter-productive. If you are encountering this energy coming from others, try to steer conversations to the positive. It’s not about avoiding problems but rather about reminding yourself or others of the positive side of a situation which can be harder to see now than on other days. Additionally, if a direct route to your desires is not working, develop strategies, but avoid roundabout routes that will ultimately make you uncomfortable. However, from minor frustrations today can come wonderful new insights tonight and tomorrow. There can be a feeling of moving forward with someone or with a relationship.

 

Virgo

With a Mercury-Pluto aspect influencing the day, dear Virgo, you’re in a stronger position to think more deeply and to consider all angles, but do your best not to take this tendency to greater lengths than is necessary — or healthy. You can too easily trip over yourself as you doubt or second-guess people or projects in your life. Try to relax and don’t push things that are better left to run their natural course. This is an excellent period for strengthening or attracting relationships, and perhaps some backstepping or second-guessing today can ultimately increase your conviction or faith in something or someone. The Moon moves into your adventure sector later today, and this can stimulate a desire to get out and about and enjoy yourself.

 

Libra 

Emotional energy today is strong but mostly pleasant, dear Libra. You’re in a good position to add more excitement to your relationships and projects. The only thing that might trip you up is a desire to have your way or to push an idea onto someone. This may also occur TO you with a Mercury-Pluto minor challenge active today. If thoughts begin to circle and become obsessive, try to pull yourself out of it. Life is far more pleasurable when we don’t feel the need to control it. You’re in a mostly excellent period for work and health endeavors, and while you may feel a little up and down about your pursuits today, the result may be a stronger conviction about what you’re doing or where you’re headed.

 

Scorpio

You can feel motivated to start something new or do something special and unique related to work, health, or routines today, dear Scorpio. There is some tendency to dwell on the past or to express yourself defensively that might need watching, however, with Mercury and your ruler, Pluto, forming a minor challenging aspect. Taking the high road and lifting oneself above needless arguments and defensive stances are tough today. Avoid stressing over the little things. In fact, something positive can come out of these things – clearing the air may be refreshing, or after second-guessing something, you ultimately recognize its value and feel stronger in your convictions.

 

Sagittarius

There can be positive developments related to friendship, romance, a creative project, or a child now, dear Sagittarius. Even so, someone close to you could be cynical or doubting which can bring you down a rung. You might also watch for a tendency to question or read too much into situations, as a Mercury-Pluto tends to skew our thinking in such a way that we worry about not having control over a situation or we second-guess others’ motives. However, the Sun in your home and family sector harmonizes with the Moon in your work and health sector, and you can feel good about your basic routines and support system. Excellent energy is on its way for home, family, and personal matters for you, in fact.

 

Capricorn

You can begin the day quite excited about what you’ll do next, dear Capricorn, and you can feel inspired to do something unique and original, particularly regarding home and family. Later today, you may be wrestling with whether or not to give voice to your worries and concerns. In truth, with Pluto a long-term guest in your sign, you often play your cards close to the vest, but with a strong current emphasis on your communications sector these days, there is a real temptation to talk things out. This might also be a time when you’re second-guessing a recent endeavor, idea, or belief. We are moving towards a lovely aspect between Venus and Neptune that asks you to have faith in a project and yourself, though, so stay tuned! In fact, you may feel the need to test the strength of your plans before pouring more energy into them.

 

Aquarius

You can feel inspired and have a stroke of genius today, dear Aquarius, as the Moon in Aries meets with your ruler, Uranus, in your communications sector. As much as you love people, you also value your independence, and this can be a great time for pouring your energies into independent work or personal interests and discovering something new. Later, the Moon moves into your home and family sector, and you crave undemanding moments, but you’re still somewhat pumped up about your projects. A Mercury-Pluto aspect can stimulate nervous mental energy if left unchecked. Watch for getting involved in arguments that are not worth your time. You may be second-guessing certain ventures today, and perhaps testing their strength.

 

Pisces

Your personal plans and needs are in the spotlight right now, dear Pisces, and we’re steering towards a very positive influence for your personal appeal, image, and outlook. Venus and Neptune are about to come together in your sign. Today, some hurdles might emerge that seem to slow you down but instead can be catalysts for stronger resolve, increased faith, and feelings of liberation. You might second-guess a project, idea, or friend now, but the results of this can reconfirm your faith in the matter. Do watch for something said that might be misconstrued, however, as there is a tendency for words to sting today, even with good intentions.

If You Were Born Today, February 19

You are self-reliant, practical, and independent. Your artistic talents are many. Private time is especially important to you, as you need it to recharge and to feel fresh once again. Your moral views are on the traditional side, and you set high standards for yourself. You are emotional and at times moody, and your personal charm and charisma is great. Your greatest rewards and success come from your responsibility and hard work. Famous people born today: Smokey Robinson, Amy Tan, Copernicus, Lee Marvin, Justine Bateman.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

With the Sun and Moon in a waxing semi-square at the time of your birthday this year, the period ahead is one of new initiatives and action. You possess quite a bit of energy, but you must be aware that emotions color much of what you do this year. It can be hard to be objective as a result.

The period ahead is a particularly busy one. At times, you may feel like the pace of your life is running ahead of you. You can be especially productive, however, in all types of communications–writing, speaking, learning, teaching, and so forth. You are willing to put in the effort for a mental interest or project, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas in the year ahead. You are more able to focus on what you’re doing and communicating, and you’re more inclined to notice and consider details.

This can be a year in which you experience important turning points, or you could begin new projects or goals that have a long-term impact on your life.

Exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests characterize the period ahead with Uranus transiting in harmony with your Sun. It’s easier than usual to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence. Your personality is sparkling this year, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life.

Venus conjunct Neptune in your Solar Return chart this year is an extremely romantic influence. This could be a year in which romance enters your life or is enhanced. The only real danger with this aspect is the tendency to be starry-eyed about your romantic and social relationships. Fresh beginnings on creative levels are likely. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality characterize the year ahead. You are easily influenced, seducible and seductive, and given to strong powers of imagination. You are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance, and gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy. It can certainly be a magical time on a romantic and social level, but it could also be a confusing or illusory influence as well. You should be more vigilant with money matters and watch for a tendency to glamorize your situation or relationships at times.

Even so, Venus also squares Mars, and this aspect suggests some dynamic, exciting, or disruptive events in your romantic or social worlds this year. This aspect ignites your passions in general, whether they‘re feelings of love or anger!

You are seeking out equal, fair, and balanced relationships. There can be a stronger inclination towards togetherness and sharing, creating harmony, and sharing power now. You may gain an advantage in business or finances or by promoting harmony and beauty.

You may be actively involved in teamwork and collaboration with others this year. Your passions are stirred and you’re likely to make positive connections with others. There can be the beginning of a significant new relationship or the intensification of an existing bond.

You have a stronger ability to direct your energies into meaningful activities. In some ways, you can be quite self-contained as you pursue passion projects. However, you may need to watch for hooking onto impractical ventures. As well, your energy level can vary greatly from one period to the next, so take advantage of the “high” periods in order to offset the possible loss in productivity during the low-energy stages. At times you may feel a little lacking in direction, but give yourself some time to find it.

You’re up for a challenge this year, and you’re particularly amorous or creative. This can be an especially tuned-in year for self-expression, not only verbally but through hobbies, games, or sports. It’s bound to be a busy time for you, sometimes lacking in clear direction, but also good for optimism and many new ideas and interests. Your personality sparkles and you’re ready to try new things.

 

2018 is a Number Five year for you. Ruled by Mercury. This is a year of discovery and freedom. It’s a time when exploration and reaching out to others brings opportunities. It’s a good time to advertise, promote, and sell. Surprises are in store, and the routine is broken for the better. This is a year when exciting relationships can be formed; or, if you are already in a partnership, new life is breathed into the relationship. Advice – explore, look for adventure, keep your eyes open for opportunities, diversify, mingle.

2019 will be a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It’s a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are especially able to attract others–and material things as well–this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and in the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

Aries

The Moon is in your sign all day, dear Aries, and it hooks into a Mars-Node aspect in sister Fire signs, serving to boost you up. You’re pleasantly stimulated and forward-looking now. Today is good for efforts towards progressing a hobby, pet project, creative work or even a romance! A strong attraction or interest is likely now with a Mars-Node connection encouraging you to form a special bond with someone or something. You feel motivated to take things to a new level, although this is less about commitment as it is about passion and desire to grow. As well today, you’re appreciating and using your natural talents, putting them to good use.

 

Taurus

Early today, you could feel like you have too much up in the air to concentrate, dear Taurus, but as the day advances, it’s easy to find your groove. Connecting with family or a loved one can be rewarding now. You also find it easy to throw yourself into an endeavor that consumes your attention. You’re feeling passionate and want to get involved. The Moon in your privacy sector all day reinforces a desire to settle in and enjoy quieter times. However, you’re in a great position to make good connections. Your calming presence is particularly appreciated today, with others recognizing your ability to put the people around you at ease.

 

 

Gemini

Excellent energy is with you for learning, communicating, and connecting today, dear Gemini. You can feel pleasantly motivated by a relationship or particular person in your life, who is encouraging you, particularly regarding your mind, education, and ideas. It’s a brilliant day for connecting with key people in your life,  injecting an existing relationship with enthusiasm or passion, or for meeting someone new, depending on your current situation. You recognize patterns related to career, business, and long-term goals by thinking about the bigger picture. You are more resilient today, and take the small things in stride.

 

Cancer

This is an excellent time for putting effort into something you feel passionate about, dear Cancer, particularly related to your practical worlds, such as your work or money, and your health. Physical activity is especially satisfying now, too. You’re in the position of leader with your work right now, or you’re taking the initiative. Recent problems that have been weighing you down can now be put into perspective, and it’s a time for positive interactions with those around you. Without the extra baggage, it’s a good day to not only focus on the practical goals that you’re motivated to complete but also to look ahead with a clear mind.

 

 

Leo

This can be a good time for pouring your energy into a project, pastime, or learning endeavor, dear Leo. The Moon in your adventure sector encourages you to explore and discover new things, and it connects well with the North Node in your sign and Mars in your creative sector. It can be a passionate or impassioned day! You’re enthusiastic and ready to take action or make connections that enhance your life. You’re craving a genuine feeling that you’re moving forward and growing. It’s also an excellent time to get on the same page with a person who understands your ideals and goals. This can be the start of a boon for a professional project you’ve been working on, so take advantage of this time to make connections with people related to business and money.

 

Virgo

This is a powerful time for support for mental health and emotional well-being, dear Virgo. Family can be understanding and encouraging, or you’re motivated to work on home projects with passion, vigor, and love. You want to grow and improve now, and any feeling of stagnation is not tolerated today! It’s a day for forward motion. Let this renewed attitude guide you to cooperate, share, and see the bigger picture. A partner or close friend may help you to see the bright side of a problem, or help you make plans for the future. You’re able to reflect on patterns and connections in your life, and relationships develop for the better as a result.

 

Libra 

This is a wonderful time for connecting with friends, dear Libra. The spirit is playful and positive, and you’re in the mood to take action, even though you’re also in good shape to talk things through today. Venus, your ruler, harmonizes with Pallas, and people are more interested in keeping things fair, which suits your nature well. Your positive attitude emerges in full force today, and you benefit from assessing things logically and identifying patterns that will help you move forward with your goals. It’s an active day for connections related to work, healthcare, and finance. Gathering information helps you strengthen your own resolve. A Mars-Node connection today is healthy and invigorating for friendships and personal interests. It’s also great for pursuing a cause that’s close to your heart.

 

Scorpio

The day can find you putting in a real effort, dear Scorpio, as the Moon encourages you to keep busy and its connection to a Mars-Node trine motivates you to take care of business. You’re likely to feel pleasantly committed. You’re up to a challenge and determined to make things right with money or your work. This is an excellent time to ask for what you want and deserve or pursue a goal doggedly. You can also use this time to have that important conversation with a partner or lover. While you can feel a little competitive with business (in a good way), relationships are exceptionally fair, easygoing, and positive today.

 

 

Sagittarius

Mars in your sign is encouraging you to take action and pursue your desires, dear Sagittarius, and today, it connects harmoniously with the North Node and the Moon, putting you in a fabulous position for virtually any kind of competition, game, learning endeavor, or creative pursuit. It’s also powerful for making connections and for personal appeal. People are drawn to you, and you’re ready to take the lead if need be. A direct, honest approach is what your sign tends to prefer and happens to be what’s currently favored by the cosmos! Today is also an excellent time for sorting any dilemmas out logically, especially doing so with someone you trust. With the energy of cooperation that surrounds you, it is easier for you to ease your mind and enjoy quiet, yet meaningful, interactions with others.

 

Capricorn

An energizing configuration occurs today, dear Capricorn, but for you, it’s happening in the quiet or hidden sectors of your chart, and this can mean a lot is going on under the surface, inside you, or behind closed doors! The determination to put something behind you or clear the decks for new beginnings can be the result now, and it’s an excellent time to tap into this extra blast of energy and motivation. An intimate connection can be stimulating now for some, or an absorbing project is in focus. Projects may begin to prosper today, or you may be clearing a hurdle, and this brightens your mood. This is a beneficial time to both reach out to loved ones, as well as genuinely enjoy your time with them. You’re particularly tuned in to design elements of creative projects, and you may notice more patterns in any projects you are tackling.

 

Aquarius

You benefit from a Moon-Mars-Node connection today that stimulates your social and communications sectors, dear Aquarius, and you can feel energized, motivated, and spirited about your ideas, interests, and relationships. It’s a great day to collaborate with others or to take action on a project, and you’re sure to enjoy the feeling that you’re growing, moving forward, improving, and involved. While there has been more emphasis on the mental world recently, today you’re craving action. Even so, the day is no slouch in the intellectual department. Finding a person who understands your unique perspective and tastes is probable now. Conversations about or with people related to talents, finances, and family can be particularly helpful today.

 

Pisces

The Moon spends the day in your resources sector, dear Pisces, and it connects harmoniously with a Mars-Node trine that energizes your sectors of work, career, effort, and health. You’re in a motivated, stimulating period for taking care of business. You can feel pleasantly competitive or especially focused on attaining some level of freedom or a spirit of forward movement now related to your work, daily life, health, and money matters. You can do quite well socially as well today. Your popularity with others may be boosted today by something you say, as conversations flow easily. This period is strong for creativity, artistry, and love.

Your Weekly Horoscopes for February 19th

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Jupiter the planet of self expansion, helps you to take relationships to the next level. You are no longer afraid of taking the next step, but you embrace it and realise that you are following your destiny. Mix ups in the workplace could see you getting accused of something you have not done. Keep your cool to put things right, or you will only make yourself look guilty.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Happy times link to you doing what you want and not what others are trying to push you into. At the beginning of this year you lost control of what was going on in your life, but a confrontation pushed your hand to take control. Embrace the new and more confident you who is emerging. It’s the key to your success.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Try not to judge new faces who enter the life of your close ones too quickly. Everyone has a past Gemini, and that is how we learn. Time spent going over facts and figures can help you make a better plan for the year ahead. You start to take more of an interest in your own well being and with this in mind you distance yourself from those who bring negativity.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

The way you look at life is changing. Events at the beginning of this year help you to take on a calmer and more mature view of your future. You no longer want to run through life, but you want to walk and take in the view. You can’t seem to get a certain person off your mind. Give them a call they’ve missed you too Cancer!

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

You can’t seem to find the words you want to say to get back on track with loved one. It is clear you have a lot to discuss before you can agree to settle. Try talking to them and not third parties Leo. How can they know what they’ve done wrong if you’re telling everyone but them? A responsibility you’ve had since last year is at last lifted.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Your element of earth is making it hard for you to give in to the impulsive nature of those around you. At least hear their needs and desires out, or you will drive a wedge between you both which will not be easy to remove. Fun times link to the last-minute invitations which old friends will be offering.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

I can see from your stars that you need some private time to find out how you feel about all that has occurred in the last few weeks. What you’ve failed to take into account though, is that the open mind you have adopted can and will ensure that you can enjoy life more this year than ever before. Minor ailments could prove costly if you don’t get them seen to.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

You seem to be such a more contented Scorpio, than the one I wrote to this time last month. You no longer tolerate fools or liars which was very much the problem last month as you put up with things which were making you unhappy. Things you are thinking of buying at this time are a sure sign that you know where you’re going.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Don’t be afraid to make a second attempt at something you have previously failed at. You may not see it for yourself yet, but you are such a stronger sign than you were a few weeks ago. That’s because you now realise you have the support you need from those you had trouble connecting with previously.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Things you learn this year will put you on a much better path in life, but you must not be afraid to pay out of your own pocket for education and information. It will indeed be the making of you my friend, as you finally understand the value of money and investments you make into yourself.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

You start to develop a sense of adventure which allows you to take chances which previously would not have been an option for you. Don’t delay in getting things signed off which are important to your future. If you don’t do it this week, then others may beat you to it Aquarius. A friendship is damaged by a lie. Hear them out, all is not as it first seems.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Your home life is forecast to be the subject of many changes. You haven’t got only yourself to consider, but you also have to look at what is best for those who affect your life. Talks on Thursday and Friday bring really positive results for all concerned. Saturn the planet of structure helps you to realise what needs to be done to take control of your career. Ring now to hear more about your future.

Your Daring Dating Horoscopes for the Week of February 19th

David Wells, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

Aries
A little travel trouble brings you and someone closer together, be that on your daily commute or further afield. Delays, left when you meant to go right, it all adds up to being in the wrong place at the right time. Don’t huff and puff, unattractive to say the least, brave those changes and take a look around; catch the eye of a fellow traveller.

Taurus
Mates cannot be held responsible for the outcome of a match, whether they consciously made it or not! You’re the one who decides if you want to go for it, you’re the one who says hello, goes on that date and sparkles; or not? Yes, you have been set up Taurus, it’s just another way of introducing you to someone new. You must take it from there.

Gemini
Mars in your relationship sky isn’t going to give you much of a break, no time for a breather, but that’s no excuse for poor flirting skills at a time when you need to be on your best form. Someone is used to high standards, they want to see some effort on your part, bring you A game Gemini or take a conscious break, no more for a week or two? Busy as.

Cancer
Of course, you should take your love life seriously, it’s a very important part of your life, but someone may be too serious, a little dull if truth be known. A new romance could be missing the sparkle you’d hoped for so what’s the way forward? Talk it out Cancer, if he or she just doesn’t get it then you’re better off not offering in the first place.

Leo
Why can’t you be in the driving seat? Oh dear, dramas over who’s in charge in a new relationship? It’s ok to let someone else drive Leo, it’s ok to let someone else choose the restaurant or turn up and take charge of your date. For now. Enjoy it, but know when it’s all a little too much and they really do need to remember who’s kingdom they’re in.

Virgo
Venus and Neptune in your relationship sky could be very romantic, they could also be preventing you from seeing someone to be romantic with! Cut through the fog by using the rings of Saturn to set new rules, rules that include just giving it a go, saying hi to folks you like the look of even if they haven’t returned your ten-point flirting response questionnaire. Just go for it.

Libra
It can’t be easy being you, easy being gorgeous and sweet, wearing those designer clothes so perfectly and wandering the halls of art galleries commenting on great masters. I know, you’re none of those things. But someone sees you that way, someone sees your inner goddess, your superhero is showing. Work it.

Scorpio
We all know a Scorpio who is in a moody, a Scorpio who has his or her brows down and can’t be bothered, but that’s not you. You’re bright, shiny and looking for some love action courtesy of Venus and Neptune and a social gathering that’s coming up this week. Keep it that way, don’t bin it in favour of a brows down moment.

Sagittarius
Mars won’t let you down, he has enough energy for the journey ahead and wants you to know that even though someone is playing hard to get, you can play all day if needs be. Run-around sorts are busy, oh they are so busy, but you have something that will help them relax, an offer they can’t refuse. Some well-planned downtime, just what they needed. Good play.

Capricorn
There are things you need to say, and you’re determined to say them. Whether it’s an ex who needs to hear your golden words or someone who has been less that forthcoming after your best flirting moments, it’s a week to be as plain as you can be about your intentions. Please. Up until now he or she hasn’t really been clear about what it is you want.

Aquarius
You have nothing more to do, you’ve done what you can and if someone doesn’t see that then it’s their loss. Too true Aquarius, it really is their loss and your gain as you make room for someone who not only gets you, but you get that they get you! A better fit comes along, but only when you admit you were squeezing into a limiting one.

Pisces
The presence of Venus and Neptune in your sign makes you the love power of the month, the sign most likely to… you can fill in the blanks. In true Piscean form, you can’t see it, so you may need the prompts that friends are offering you. It may seem juvenile but a little ‘my mate fancies you’ can go a very long way to clearing the fog.

Magic Moves for Seducing Every Sign

 

Need a surefire way to snare your love interest? If you’ve got someone in your romantic sights, tailor your seduction style to their Sun sign. These moves work for established relationships, too. Be sure to consult this column and check your horoscope the next time you want to turn up the heat!

Seducing an Aries (March 21 – April 19)

When it comes to courtship, your Aries wants you to be bold and aggressive. Don’t ask permission for a kiss — just plant a breathtaking one as soon as the moment seizes you. The more forceful your approach, the better. Rams are also susceptible to compliments. These folks want to hear that they’re the sexiest person in the room. If you’ve just met an Aries, feel free to contradict them. Spirited debates act like aphrodisiacs on this sign.

Seducing a Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Slow and steady wins the race with Taurus. These folks want to savor the courtship phase of a relationship. Be sure to show up on the first date with a bouquet of flowers or some other beautiful token of your appreciation. Bulls love presents. A subtle splash of cologne will work like a love magnet on Taurus, as this sign is extremely responsive to sensual stimuli. If you’ve got an earthy sense of humor, don’t hide it. Nothing gets Taurus in the mood like a spicy joke.

Seducing a Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The fastest way to Gemini’s bedroom is through the brain. Ask this sign for a reading recommendation — Geminis love to be consulted about intellectual matters. If you’ve got specialized knowledge of a particular subject, be sure to bring it up. People born under the sign of the Twins are wildly attracted to experts — the more obscure your subject, the better. If Gemini mentions their latest hobby, be sure to ask for a crash course. Nothing gets this sign in the mood like showing off their know-how.

Seducing a Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

These Moon Children are notoriously soft-hearted. If you’d like to make your way into this sign’s bedroom, show off your sensitive side. Express an interest in charities, especially ones involving children. Cancers secretly love being babied, so it’s a great idea to fix this sign a home-cooked meal. Keep the lights low and the music soft … Cancer is very responsive to romantic atmospheres. If you’ve got your sights set on a female Crab, ask permission before you kiss her. If you’re dating a guy, make the first move and then apologize for being so bold.

Seducing a Leo (July 23 – August 22)

If you want to seduce a Leo, focus on this sign like a laser. Compliment the way they dress, eat and breathe. Treat him or her to the best of everything, whether it’s the center table at the fanciest restaurant in town or the choicest spot on your picnic blanket. When the lights are turned low, run your fingers through the Lion’s mane. He or she will purr with delight. Murmur words of praise into his or her ear during foreplay. Your lovemaking will build to a beautiful crescendo.

Seducing a Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Cleanliness is definitely a virtue when seducing Virgo. Make sure that your sheets are freshly laundered before taking a tumble with this sign. It’s also a good idea to be impeccably groomed yourself. Nothing turns a Virgin on like the smell of French-milled soap. In fact, you may want to take a bath together as a prelude to lovemaking. If you’re having trouble even getting a date with Virgo, ask him or her to help organize your desk, proofread a letter or find your keys. This is a great way to break the ice with this service-oriented sign.

Seducing a Libra (September 23 – October 22)

When it comes to seducing sophisticated Libra, it’s best to summon the spirit of Cary Grant or Audrey Hepburn. This sign needs to be romanced in high style … think champagne and evening dress versus beer and baseball caps. Librans love music, so taking this sign to a concert would be a terrific prelude to lovemaking. It’s a wise idea to perfect your kissing technique before making the first move on Libra. This sign wants a lover with finesse.

Seducing a Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It may be challenging to seduce secretive Scorpio, since it’s hard to gauge this sign’s reactions. Don’t be fazed if your moves are met with an inscrutable smile … that’s just Scorpio’s own form of seduction. A good first move? Take this sign’s hand in a darkened movie theater and trace delicate patterns on the inside of his or her palm. Make love wordlessly and urgently, letting your body do all the communicating.

Seducing a Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Sagittarians are easily seduced through humor. Crack a few jokes, make a few pratfalls, and leave some funny voicemails if you’d like to get acquainted with the Archer’s bedroom. The prospect of making love outdoors always excites the Archer. Invite Sagittarius on a camping trip and be sure to bring a double sleeping bag. Last but not least, people born under this sign are ruled by the thighs and hips. Playful Sagittarius will become deadly serious when you zero in on these areas.

Seducing a Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Dignified Capricorn can be quite intimidating on the sexual front, but rest assured that this sexy sign is worth seducing. A slow, steady approach works best with Goats. Limit your first encounter to a lingering kiss. Then the next time you see each other, caress Cappy’s back, neck and shoulders, applying firm, insistent pressure. Make a strategic retreat when Capricorn begs you to finish what you’ve started. Deep down inside, this sign knows that the best things in life are worth waiting for.

Seducing an Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Quirky Aquarius can be a tough nut to crack when it comes to sex. If you’d like to seduce this sign, try an unconventional approach. Claim that you’re doing research for a sex clinic and need their help with an experiment. Declare that, while you’re not interested in pursuing a physical relationship with Aquarius, you’re willing to make the sacrifice in the name of friendship. The more offbeat your manner, the more attracted Aquarius will be. All Water-bearers have a rebellious streak. Dare one to kiss you.

Seducing a Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

If you’d like to seduce a Pisces, transport him or her to another world. Invite your favorite Fish to look through your telescope or check out your aquarium. Make your move as soon as Pisces becomes absorbed in the action. A quick kiss on the back of the neck will lead to bigger and better things. Pisceans have many erogenous areas including especially sensitive feet. A friendly foot rub can fan the flames of desire.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for February 19th

by Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

With the sun and Mercury’s move into romantic Pisces, and joining Venus and Neptune, this week heralds a period of sensitive loving and seductive responses.

We may all have to live under more rules and regulations than ever before, thanks to Saturn’s influence in Capricorn, but at least we can dream awhile, escape the workload and float gently down the stream.

 

ARIES

You have goals, dreams and longings, and a realization that you don’t have to be stuck in a relationship, or dependent upon someone to be loved. In fact, your current assertiveness is giving you loads of willpower. So if you’re single, others will find you dramatic, enriching and lustful. If attached, you appear more realistic. Time to stand up and be counted again.

 

 

TAURUS

At last, you can speak up without being put down. At last you can think ahead, without regretting the past. And at last ‘you can keep your head, when all about you are losing theirs.’ The planetary energy this week, simply confirms that you have broken through to the part of yourself which is not only spirited, but also speaks from the soul.

 

 

GEMINI

Your determination and self-belief is returning.  It’s time to fly forward, breathe in new air, formulate new relationship goals and then live them out. Whether single or attached, you’re in one of those cycles of your life when you just can’t sit around waiting for life to happen to you, you have to go out and make it happen.

 

 

CANCER

Right now, you can delve deep into your motives, push forward with romantic plans, and set the ball of delight rolling in your direction. Your mission is to crusade for the truth, to discover the unknown, and to realise that love’s very unexplainable essence, is actually a delightful mystery, and one which you’re about to enjoy.

 

 

LEO

You have a right to your needs and desires and you can’t just be someone you’re not.  And if you’re attached, and if your partner understands your ambitious streak, then this is the week for realising the glorious future you can make together. And if single? The planets will give you all the charm you need to get to know someone better.

 

 

VIRGO

This week, you won’t be exactly patient with those who are blind to opportunity. Yet your kind heart will be pulled in two directions by a loved one. Do you give up on them to make your own life what you want it to be, or do you give up on yourself to gain their approval? You know the choice is hard. It’s time to relinquish the fear, not the goal.

 

 

LIBRA

You have a strange desire to view life from another angle. If you persuade partners or admirers to accept your quirky thoughts, they will be more than happy to push you on to greater things. With adventure on your mind, motivated ideas will bring the kind of opportunities that mean you can give to loved ones the true goodness you have on offer.

 

 

SCORPIO

You can’t be certain if someone has the same intentions as you do. In fact, you’re imagining all kinds of negative things, which is really your own self-doubt at work. But if you don’t ask outright what they honestly want, you might never know. In fact, they’re probably just mulling over a brilliant idea which will give you both the chance for long-term happiness.

 

 

SAGITTARIUS

You know you need a certain amount of space, and you know you want life to be an adventure. But this doesn’t quite fit your relationship reality right now.  It’s not that you don’t care, and it’s not that you want to give up on what you have. But this week, you can start to see how to plot a future which suits you too.

 

 

CAPRICORN

There’s something about you that needs expression right now. And this week, you name it, you can do, or be it. So think of this as the power of your own inner self bursting into life and through the doors of love. Then you’ll realise that the one you are with or the one you long for, is exactly who you also need right now.

 

 

AQUARIUS

You worry that no-one’s perfect, not even you. After all, most human beings are flawed in some way, aren’t they? But then, we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t have feelings and senses. Right now, you’re beginning to accept that gut instinct has little to do with the logic of the mind. In fact, your intuition is actually worth trusting for once.

 

 

PISCES

It’s time to acknowledge your individuality, and to acquire compassion for others because of a newfound self- awareness. This week, you see that whatever you’ve been through over the past few years is actually moving you forward, not holding you back. You weren’t exactly a victim of fate, more just trapped by your fears. Now you can be liberated.

I apologize for us running late this morning. Apparently we had a heavy rain come through during the night and knocked out the power. Well at least none of our alarm clocks when off anyway. So we are going to be doing thing backwards today, horoscopes first, then everything else. I searched and searched for a Presidents Day Poem and it was unreal, all I did was waste precious time. Instead of a good old Presidents Day poem, how about this beauty.

 

The Coven Spell

O ancient ones of heaven, earth and sea,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
To music of the night-wind blowing free,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!

 

The owl hoots within the hollow tree,
The black cat runs by night silently,
The toad beneath the stone dwells secretly,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!

 

To moon that draws the tides of air and sea,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!
To god that bides beneath the greenwood tree,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!

 

By witches’ garter bound about the knee,
By staff and cauldron and all powers that be,
We will the thing in our minds we see,
We chant the coven spell, thus shall it be!

 

(Pause…)

 

The Spell is flowing like the sea,
The spell is growing like the tree,
Like flame that burns and blazes free.
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
We chant the spell, thus shall it be!
IT IS!

“Witchcraft For Tomorrow” pp. 181-182

How is everyone doing today? I hope super. You might have thought we took the day off but we didn’t. We have been working over at the store. It seems that the weekends are the only time we have to work on it. We got some more new merchandise in and decided a new way of you seeing it. We have started a section called, “Buy One, Get One Free.” We have added quite a few new items in that section. There is nothing wrong with the merchandise, we just wanted to give you the opportunity to get some great merchandise at decent prices. There are some unusual items there and we plan on adding more, we will let you look for yourself. But the prices on this new merchandise is reduced for the time being and I guarantee you that they won’t stay at these prices for long. So if you see something you like, grab it now before it moves over and the price goes up.

 

We have also added a few new gowns and cloaks. I could spend all day looking at the new gowns and cloaks. There are some gorgeous ones that are coming out this year and we are going to do our best to keep them at affordable prices. Remember they are all custom made to fit you perfectly. You will be the best dress witch at your next Full Moon or Sabbat gathering.

 

If you have a moment today, stop by and check out what we have added to the store. There are other merchandise in different section that I haven’t mentioned. I am excited about the “Buy One, Get One Free” section and I hope you will be too.

Till tomorrow, my sweets…..

Love ya,

Lady A
