Weird Holidays Celebrated On February 28

379344258_o

Tooth Fairy Day

At one time or another, all of us have been visited by the tooth fairy. So, it should come as no surprise that somewhere along the line, Tooth Fairy Day was born. The tooth fairy herself (or himself; as the verdict is still out on whether this spirit is male or female) has been around since at least the Middle Ages although the exact origins are still unknown. In fact, the fairy may have just been a means to calm a child that was undergoing the strange experience of losing a tooth (after all, we have all been there).

Still, Tooth Fairy day is a date that is designed to pay homage to this generous spirit that is known to leave treats or coins underneath our pillow. Interestingly enough, the exact date of celebration is under conjecture; some claiming it falls in February while others state that it is held in August. This actually makes a bit of sense, for we have yet to find a way to leave a coin or a snack for the fairy, as we are not even sure if she (or he) has a pillow!

Venus Square Uranus 1 March 2019

Venus Square Uranus 1 March 2019

 

Venus square Uranus natal gives an interesting love life. Issues involving commitment in close relationships can stem from a strong need for personal independence. You are not bound by the traditional societal or moral standards which apply to marriage and intimate relationships in general.

It is not only this need for freedom, but also a need for simulation and excitement that can cause instability in your relationships. Stimulation and excitement go hand in hand with change, the prime keyword of Uranus. In the words of the American novelist Toni Morrison:

In order to be as free as I possibly can, in my own imagination, I can’t take positions that are closed. [wiki]

Although talking about her attitude toward feminism, this need for freedom mainly affects love relationships but also applies to your values and beliefs. Venus rules love, money, and how you rate, or value yourself. To maintain a healthy self-image, or to truly love yourself, you must express the spontaneous, electric nature of Uranus.

Initially, you may have a tendency to try to fit in, or live up to the expectation of family and friends. However, dull friends or a boring lover would cramp your style. You don’t like being tied down or being smothered by love. Enduring such a relationship would result from, or cause, a poor self-image. You would react to this by lashing out or doing something unexpected, like packing up your gear and walking out the door.

There is, however, a compromise available between living alone and being in an unhappy relationship. Although you don’t want to attract disloyal or overly eccentric partners, you can find someone who is open-minded, unorthodox or exciting like yourself.

The ideal relationship  is one in which both partners are able to express their uniqueness and enjoy freedom. Experimentation in the bedroom would provide the extra stimulation needed to remain satisfied and content over the longer term. Testing and challenging the rules of sexuality and relationship dynamics would also provide the thrills and excitement you desire.

This aspect can signify popularity, unique or stunning beauty and personal charm, plus great imagination and creativity. Just as relationships can start and end in a flash, you may experience some dramatic ups and down with your finances. Impulsiveness makes you fun to be around but can play havoc with your love life and savings.

Venus Square Uranus Transit

Venus square Uranus transit can challenge the stability of love relationships through unexpected urges or events. An increased need for freedom and excitement can test your patience with a love one or lead to wandering eyes. If you have been feeling smothered, confined or bored, then you may lash out in anger or through some other destructive behavior.

A healthy relationship will face no major drama, especially with an open-minded partner. Experimentation in the bedroom would satisfy your need to increased stimulation. The more demanding or conservative you partner, then the more likely you are to stir up trouble or have an affair.

I you try to resist the urge for change and excitement, and bottle this spontaneous energy up, then it is likely that you partner will express this energy through some unexpected and sudden action. Entertainment, amusement and novelties will suffice if you are not the daring type.

Singles may be attracted to exciting or eccentric people. Those who seem like a risk or are from a different cultural or ethnic background. New romance is possible but it would more likely be a brief relationship unless other longer term transits indicated otherwise.

Care needs to be taken when shopping, as you are more likely to impulse buy and spend too much and unnecessary items.

Love Is The Law

Do what thou wilt is the Whole of the Law
The time of The Will
Bursts forth Now, in the Spring
Implacable bud!

Let your Love burst forth and blossom freely
Thunder of roses
Unfettered by harsh will
Love willed to be Free

To soar with on Her Wings into New Heavens
Over pure New Earths
Love is Will purified
Love is Her own Law!

Sun is born again in primitive Light
With Arian Force
In the Spring House of Mars
New Life Exploding

From cold Winter’s Icy dark Womb
Gives force to our Wills
Time of re-SOL-ution
We are born again

Juices of Spring wash us from Winter Womb
As Spring buds push out
We drop from Her belly
Like damp, new born colts

This is the time to re-SOL-ve our new lives
With Nature’s Forces
Supporting and healing
As Old Winter dies

Astronomy Picture of the Day – Magnetic Orion

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2019 February 27

Magnetic Orion 
Image Credit & Copyright: NASASOFIAD. Chuss et al. & ESOM. McCaughrean et al.

 

Explanation: Can magnetism affect how stars form? Recent analysis of Orion data from the HAWC+ instrument on the airborne SOFIA observatory indicate that, at times, it can. HAWC+ is able to measure the polarization of far-infrared light which can reveal the alignment of dust grains by expansive ambient magnetic fields. In the featured image, these magnetic fields are shown as curvy lines superposed on an infrared image of the Orion Nebula taken by a Very Large Telescope in Chile. Orion’s Kleinmann-Low Nebula is visible slightly to the upper right of the image center, while bright stars of the Trapezium cluster are visible just to the lower left of center. The Orion Nebula at about l300 light years distant is the nearest major star formation region to the Sun

Your Daily Planet Tracker for Feb. 27: Venus in Capricorn

Venus in Capricorn: Loyal, Determined, Trustworthy

Feb 3, 2019 – Mar 1, 2019

Tarot.com Staff

This is certainly an interesting cosmic combination! On one hand, there is Venus which is the planet of love, acceptance, pleasure, and the arts. On the other hand, you have earthy and Saturn-ruled Capricorn, whose focus is on commitment and work. This means that Venus in Capricorn is a time of approaching our relationships in a more mature way, and when our romances become bound by rules

When alluring Venus moves into hardworking Capricorn, she is being encouraged to take a hard stance on romance. Love must be earned when Venus is in this sign — effort counts as much as heart if you want to receive the approval of others. Relationships are built on shared goals and a willingness to get through even the most difficult of times. Venus in Capricorn rewards hard work in relationships, helping to define problems and making a commitment to solve them.

When Venus is in Capricorn

We take our relationships a lot more seriously when loving Venus moves into committed Capricorn. This transit challenges us to put in the effort needed to get the love and affection we truly desire. For those who are coupled, this is their chance to work through problems or have deep conversations about what they envision for the future. And what about those looking for love? This is their opportunity to ditch flighty flirtations in favor of long-lasting love. With Venus in Capricorn, we want our romantic affairs to go the distance.

In addition to its impact on love and relationships, Venus in Capricorn has the same serious effect on all things relating to beauty. This transit may urge us to trade in flashy pieces of clothing and edgy hairdos for a more subdued style. It’s also a great time to get started on any artistic endeavors we’ve been considering. Not only do we have an enhanced ability for building and creating things, but Capricorn also gives Venus the dedication needed to start projects and see them all the way through to the finish line.

Venus in Capricorn has a strong business aspect to it, and it could bring up themes of re-evaluating the worth we bring to our chosen professions. We might ask ourselves if we’re getting the validation we need from our employer, or whether or not we are climbing up the ladder of success the way we had hoped. There is incredible potential for reconnecting with our own inner authority and owning up to whatever it is we need to do to take our career to the next level.

Your Daily Tarot Card for Today

The Wheel of Fortune

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keywords: unexpected change, good fortune, becoming master of one’s own destiny!

Astrological Correspondence: Jupiter

The Wheel of Fortune symbolizes the ever-changing cycle of life, wins and losses, ups and downs, unexpected luck, advancements and setbacks, success and failure – the duality of things. Representing a breakthrough, a fortunate set of circumstances, the energies of the turning wheel also suggest incalculability, chance, surprise, rapid change and fate ending problematic times, heralding good fortune, and stimulating development and growth. As one of the cards not showing a human figure at its center, the Wheel of Fortune represents our uncovering of life’s cycles and patterns, the discovery of our purpose in life, and the realization that nothing is permanent, everything is always in flux. In a negative situation the card can resemble failure, misfortune, gambling excess, and a turn for the worse.

 

 

Your Daily Love Tarot Card for Today

The Fool

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You deserve a partnership that deepens as you get to know each other. Wait for the person who has risen above commitment immaturity if commitment is your desire. The Fool reminds us that dating someone is not a mistake. It is falling in love and marrying them if it is not right. If your long-term relationship is encountering a difficult patch, now is the time to work together to rebuild.

 

 

Your Daily Erotic Tarot Card for Today

The Tower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The presence of the Tower emphasizes a state of flux, so right now you can’t really count on anything typical when it comes to your sex life. Spontaneity and unpredictability definitely work in your favor, though, especially if you’re getting tired of the same old routine. Sudden changes free you to move in a new direction, including trying new sexual positions, changing partners, or going on torrid sexual adventures. The time has never been better to embrace fresh erotic opportunities.

 

 

Your Past Lives Tarot Card for Today

The World

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you’re feeling a driving internal force to learn more about the nature of life, you could be experiencing a regression to a past life when you were on the cutting edge of science. Pioneering scientists go beyond the borders of standardized limits to discover ways to help others. When the pioneering scientist within you follows this course, you may find that self-help is educational while helping others is a true spiritual experience.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, Feb. 28th

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you want to use your money or your financial influence to make a name for yourself or to boost your reputation. Ironically, you might also use your money and financial influence to support others or nurture them in some way, as well.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You are excited about new ideas and different possibilities. In fact, you want to be physically active or work in a hands-on fashion to initiate something. Explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Good day to present a paper or give a talk.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

With the endorsement of bosses and VIPs right now, you can do no wrong. In fact, it is the support of others that weakens any opposition to you. Shine a light on any obstacles that are hidden because this will weaken them. Reveal secrets like bats from a cave!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are charismatic today, which is why you will be successful relating to friends and effective dealing with groups. People will listen to you and follow your lead. They trust you because they believe that you care about their interests as well as your own.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are ambitious, but today your ambition is softened by a genuine concern for others. If you can use your influence or your clout to help someone in need – you will. Discussions about shared property or how to disperse monies or share a certain amount of funds will go well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your desire to explore new places, meet new faces and learn new ideas makes you want to think about what it would be like to live in another country or a distant place – somewhere different from where you are now. Maybe you can expand your home base by doing this?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your primary concerns right now are home and family. In fact, you want to solidify your home base so that you feel more secure. Today you might see ways to get the means or the financial help from another source to do this. Good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Although you have felt annoyed with someone lately, today things are softer and easier. You have a better understanding of where this other person is coming from, which makes you more forgiving about their behaviour. They’re not trying to annoy you. They can’t help it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have energy, focus and direction to accomplish a lot today. In part, this is because you believe in yourself and you feel good. Part of why you feel good as you know that you want to help others if you can. You cannot ignore the challenges that others have to face.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a fun-loving, playful day! You want the freedom to do your own thing and you intend to get it. However, you will feel a genuine concern for children and younger people. You might enjoy playful activities with kids. You will also be enthusiastic about sports.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today a subtle shift will ease some of the domestic tension you have recently experienced at home. This is a welcome change. You understand what is needed and can see a way to unify your objectives with someone else’s.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today you have the urge to start something new; however, this urge might be short lived. Just be aware of this. All your communications with others will be robust, convincing and persuasive because you will put feeling behind your words.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Bernadette Peters (1948) shares your birthday today. You are sensitive and emotional and will help those who are suffering. Take care of yourself this year so you are a strong resource. Nurture relationships you value. Focus on your personal responsibilities to family as well as yourself because service to others is important this year. Explore the arts, enroll in a class. Personalize your home with treasures that have meaning.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 27th

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You will be aggressive in financial dealings today. This will apply to both how you earn your money, especially competitively, and also how you want to spend it. (“That’s mine I saw it first!”) Basically, you will identify with what you own today, which is easy to do. (My car thinks it’s me.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have lots of drive and energy today – no question. Because you’re coming on like gangbusters, do be aware of this before you steamroll over others. Of course, you can use this aggressive energy if you have to defend yourself or take charge.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep your eyes open today! Bosses and VIPs admire you – that’s a given. You have to cooperate more than usual with partners and close friends because the Moon is opposite your sign. That’s also a given. But a sneaky influence hints that someone might be working against your best interests.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you can rally your troops and set them marching because you have enormous charisma and influence over others, especially in group situations. (Don’t leave home without your megaphone.) Seriously, you can use this skill to achieve your objectives.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Lately, your ambition has been aroused, but today, you’re PowerPoint on steroids! Look out world! Because you are focused on shared property, inheritances and wills, if you encounter disputes in these areas, your intentions will prevail. This is also a hot, sexy day! Oh yeah.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have such strong feelings about issues today, especially anything related to politics, religion or racial matters, you’ll be ready to jump on your soapbox and defend your views. However, you can also channel this energy into studying and writing or legal debates.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will be effective defending the property or rights of someone else today. Likewise, if you have to defend your own fair share of an inheritance or a disputed amount of property – you will do this successfully. (Privately, your sex drive is heightened. Hmmm.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Avoid disputes with partners and close friends because what’s the upside? Anger only serves to make everyone miserable – that’s its only purpose. In other words, everyone loses. Avoid people or situations that annoy you. Reward your good behaviour with a treat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will accomplish an enormous amount of work today because you’re gung ho and energetic! However, do be aware that your energy level is so high that you might be bossy in delegating work to others. Get things in perspective. Not everyone has your energy today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you feel creative, independent and wilful! You will want your way in whatever you are involved with because right now you’re not into self-denial. Oh no. Romantically, your physical desires are strong as well. Yup, you mean business! Strong day for actors and teachers.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Increased chaos, activity and tension at home has been something you have to contend with at this time. There’s no escape. But you do have a choice in how you address this situation. Guard against behaving compulsively or acting inappropriately because of a short fuse. Be the adult at home.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will be convincing when talking to others today because you will put so much of yourself into whatever you say. You have lots of mental energy, which is why you are prepared to defend your ideas. Strong day for those in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Donal Logue (1966) shares your birthday. You are an idealistic dreamer. You are compassionate and have a genuine concern for the welfare of others. Because this will be a fast-paced year, get ready for action. Expect fresh excitement! Enjoy travel opportunities and chances to expand your horizons. Be open to embracing change and new opportunities. Your personal freedom is one of your goals this year
