Your Daily Horoscopes for  Wednesday 20th February

Claire Petulengro, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Every day starts a new page in your story. Make todays a good one. You start to believe in yourself more and you no longer worry about what others don’t like. You know if you are happy with your choices and they love you, then they are going to have to support you.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

There is a jealous feel to your chart, which could see some of your sign accusing their close ones of things they have not done. Try not to speak without cause, or you will only end up having to make a drawn-out series of apologies. Ring now to make this month a life changing one.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

If you can play the role of supporter this week, then you will slowly but surely start to find that you and your close ones are actually working as a team. Things you buy at this time, say a lot about how you expect this year to play out. Ring now to hear why Scorpios need to be your priority.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

I can see that you’re angry at a close one, but I also see that you’re talking to everyone but them, about how you’re feeling. Come on Cancer, you and I know you’re too clever to resort to political tactics. Play fair and deal with the source directly. Ring now to hear the full story.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Why are you running through life, when you should be walking and enjoying the view? I see and you will too soon enough, that you have what it takes to make the best of life. Please don’t put off learning what I know would be a great asset to your future. Ring now for a sneak peek.

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Your worries about a close one turn out to be unfounded and you realise that sometimes people just have bad days. What was said and done, was not meant with the harshness you receive it. Aspects tell me that you know this deep down inside. Ring now to reveal your destiny.

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Your need to have fun and blow off some steam, tells me in no uncertain terms that you are happy to be out of the situation you were in. Now, you just have to convince that family member, who still seems to be stuck in the past. Ring now to find out what amazing love aspects await.

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

Work you begin now will affect your life for at least the next two years. These are big undertakings you are getting involved in and you learn by the end of this week, just how tailor made you are for current changes. Ring now so I can tell you how brave I think you are.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Be the superhero in your story Sagittarius and don’t leave it to others to make up the next chapter for you. I see that you have taken on more than usual , but it’s also about delegating this week and asking for help as and when you need it. Ring now to hear what proposal soon looms.

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

Family make it hard for you to keep anything private, with their questions being above and beyond the call of duty. I know you’re nervous about what’s coming up, but if you believe it can be a success, then others will too. Ring now to hear why you’d be wise NOT to lend money tonight.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

You don’t seem to know enough about a new face to make up your mind yet, so how can those who have had even less time for involvement, give you advice and guidance? No one is perfect and that’s what makes us so interesting. Ring now to hear why you must judge on present not past.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

Something which you were about to give up on is given a boost by those who you didn’t even think were standing in your corner. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt, as there ‘alternative ideas’ could just be tailor made for you. Ring now to make a difference.

Aquarius-Pisces Cusp

Sign Dates And Definition

 

DATES: FEBRUARY 15 – 21

THOSE BORN ON the Aquarius-Pisces cusp are known the natural psychics of the zodiac.

Loved for their compassionate, understanding, and tolerant traits, Aquarian-Pisces tend to have more extroverted personalities than you might imagine for those with such sensitive souls. Being around people can rejuvenate an Aquarius-Pisces, give them a sense of purpose, and relieve stress.

The only problem? This innate desire is often coupled with a sense of isolation … and the feeling of being misunderstood.

SENSITIVITY / ECCENTRICITY / COMPASSION

Though they are goal-oriented, those who embody the Aquarius–Pisces cusp are major procrastinators. Sometimes this procrastination is built-in, given the innate disorganization that disrupts any organic flow that might have carried them to the finish line. But who has time for organizing things when your mind is filled with so many great ideas? There is so much creative energy to this cusp, so much compassion and emotion, that the chores that make daily life run smoothly can easily fall to the wayside.

If you are dually ruled by both Uranus and Neptune, know this: You are loved. You are amazing. You are brilliant, creative, and highly intelligent. You might feel at times that people just don’t GET you. But, hear this: People don’t need to get you. You get them. And that’s your greatest strength.

And if you know a person born on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp, tell them this: You love the way their mind works. You love the way they see the world, and you are grateful to be able to be a part of theirs. Let them know they are seen.

Happy Birthday, Aquarius!

IF YOU ARE BORN ON FEBRUARY 17, you are hot-blooded and yes, my dear Aquarius, you are weird and wonderful! It’s not because of your out-going personality, or that you do not care for people knowing your business. It is not even that you prefer to be a loner. You like being by yourself.

People with a February 17 birthday are private and expect people to respect your wishes. (Call before you come as intrusive people are turn-offs for Aquarians.) It is because, Aquarius, you get in a mood and suddenly, your word becomes questionable.

As your birthday horoscope profile shows, you become rebellious, hurtful and angry, almost to the point of doing physical harm to someone. If not this, then you are keeping to yourself. You do not answer phone calls or return messages.

February 17 Aquarius, you can be stubborn and sometimes, you are just unstable. You need not act on your impulses all the time. It is in you. Be strong. Because of this, you do not make friends right away, or at least any real friends. You want them to shed their quandaries but will not allow yourself to be seen as human.

On the surface, many that seek your companionship are willing participants in the dating game until they find out that you value your freedom more than you appreciate them. Aquarians born on February 17 are usually best compatible with someone much like themselves.

You don’t have to work as hard with two Aquarians. You are mirroring so, figuring out where your weakness is or where your strengths are, is easy.

On the other side, Aquarius, you are a do-gooder. The Aquarius birthday analysisfor those born on February 17 shows you are proud humanitarians. You will do something beneficial that will change the conditions of people for the better. You know how to get down to the root of a problem, hear both sides and draw your conclusion before making a decision.

Some of your efforts may be idiosyncratic so expect a negative response or two. That is when you pull your pants up and dig deeper. People should respect your hard honesty. After all, you get the job done.

The February 17 birthday person is full of ideas, and your results are prosperous. What is wonderful about you Aquarius is that you are intelligent, rational, and down-to-earth. Those born on this day are Aquarians that can be trusted. You are always looking for new ways to make money. You have a progressive way of thinking. Aquarians are sophisticated people.

As the February birthday zodiac sign, you will be driven like the wind. Some people never change how their surroundings look. Not you, Aquarians live for a change. You also have a flair that is different from most of ours. It is a drastic change from shopping at Gap.

You have invented your style, which shows your personality off. You love to mix and match the oddest of things. The proof is in your decorator’s tips complete with all the latest commodities. Innovative and unique ideas impress you.

You are advised to stay on the grind and stay away from quick loan services. Avoid the stress so you won’t suffer from headaches and experience sleepless nights.

Aquarians, you need to take good care of your health. You have an appreciation for alcohol. You need to be careful with that especially since you are prone to having some mysterious accidents, some of which can be downright funny stories.

Your Daily Horoscope for Thursday, February 14

By Kelli Fox

Aries

March 21- April 19

What’s on your horizon today? Several interesting opportunities are heading your way, so get ready for them. People recognise your creative energy and your natural passion, which means they’re going to want your input. Don’t try to take on too much; be frank with them about what you can and can’t handle. That way, you’ll have enough focus only for endeavours that you really believe in. Of course, you can take on more now than usual.

Taurus

Your inner grace, elegance and modesty are on full display now. Your friends and loved ones enjoy you even more than usual, because you’re so easy to talk to. Of course, this puts you under the radar. You know the old saying, ‘The squeaky wheel gets the grease’ — and you certainly aren’t squeaky at the moment. Sometimes it’s nice to go with the flow instead of having to work against it.

Gemini

May 21-June 21

You’re starting to realise that the sibling rivalry dynamic you’ve got going with someone isn’t working anymore. In fact, it’s outmoded, and more than a little boring. Focus on what you have in common with this person. This will open some doors. Just think how much you could accomplish if you worked with them instead of wasting time tossing jabs back and forth. Be the bigger person by building a bridge between you.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

You’re extra witty and affectionate today. This is a great day for chatting with friends or creating art — or, if you can manage it, both. Invite your favourite people over for a cooking, sewing, painting or writing party. You’ll find that a group of people working together puts out incredible creative energy, even if you’re working on separate projects. And don’t forget that even baking a batch of cookies is a creative process.

Leo

July 23-August 22

A good mood has you humming. Your nimble grace and positive, loving attitude are your gifts to give the world today. It’s easy to move among your friends, gracing everyone with a smile. They’re all glad to see you, you know. And it’s up to you how you apply this energy. You can use this brief period for a bit of fun and relaxation, or you can accomplish something more meaningful.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Everyone has inner demons of one kind or another. Yours happen to be priggish. But, that doesn’t mean you have to give in to them. If anyone can ignore their dark side, it’s you. Therefore, when the urge strikes to use a few barbed, well-chosen words to put someone in their place, resist. When your irritation makes you want to scream, don’t give in. You’ll see: Tolerance and generosity will fill your heart again.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Creativity and emotion blend within you now, producing a calm mental state. The road before you is beautifully smooth. It’s easy now for you to think quickly and act without second-guessing yourself. Your life feels charmed as you reach out to others. You’ve found a way to tap into harmony yet again, and you can build something from these moments. Or, you can simply enjoy them for what they are, with a big grin on your face.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

Your instinct today might be to hide the truth from someone, but secrecy won’t get you anywhere. Being open, on the other hand, will open you up to some great opportunities. But doing so could be difficult, because you’re feeling vulnerable and insecure. If you’re among trusted friends, your fears are unfounded. But if you’re involved with someone new, maybe you’re right to hold back a bit, until you know what’s going on.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

You’re playing mind games, and it’s exhilarating to feel a step ahead of everyone else. But being clever isn’t the most important thing now. You need to rise above your mental games today, and connect with people on a genuine level. Real sincerity comes from the heart. So you’re going to have to become a team player, which means abandoning this dream of taking over the world with your brilliant mind.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Your goals are important to you, so be aware that indulging in a bad mood will only set you back. Yes, they can be self-indulgent, and this is one of those times. You have a choice to make: being grumpy, or taking a deep breath, raising your chin and moving forward with confidence and energy. If you choose the latter, not only will you feel better but you’ll be open to new experiences with others.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

A single-minded approach to your goals is bringing you closer to reaching them. The energy you’re displaying is sure to impress anyone who happens to catch you in action. Today you’ll have all the resources you need to make your plan work. Plus, your people-oriented nature is a real gift now, as you gather support. And hey — if you end up influencing someone else’s life in a positive way, so much the better.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

You’re misty-eyed about old, bittersweet memories. You’re definitely feeling pushed in one direction and pulled in another, and it’s bringing troubled emotional reactions. For today, you may not know if you’re coming or going. But look at it this way: At least you’re here, feeling your way through life with that big, soft heart of yours. Just try not to take everything so seriously. Things will look a lot better in just a few days.

Single on Valentine’s Day? No Worries

Celebrate yourself on this day of love

Have you been dreading Valentine’s Day? Well, there’s nothing to fear! Cupid wants you to celebrate love in all of its manifestations, not just the romantic variety. As a single person, you have energy for loving friendships (which you might not have time for if you were part of a couple), so you have much to be grateful for.

Here are some tips for how each zodiac sign can use Valentine’s Day to affirm that a partner isn’t necessary when it comes to celebrating love — and a few suggestions for attracting a date as well!

If you’re single and loving it, more power to you … but if want to find a partner, try making this holiday your Valentine’s New Year. Write resolutions about new ways you can reach out while having fun in the coming year. Get psyched up and create a positive attitude. The world is your romantic oyster!

 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You could use some pampering on this special day, so take yourself to a spa to enjoy a head-to-toe beauty treatment, massage or soak in a hot tub. Be your own best date by treating yourself to whatever sensual delights tickle your fancy. Invite a close friend along and indulge together.

 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

If you get the urge to call your friends and whine about your single status, go ahead. Get chatty and vent all you want … but whatever you do, resist the temptation to ring up your ex or that hottie you’ve got your eye on. Wait for another day to make those calls, when your emotions aren’t so volatile.

 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

You’re one of the world’s biggest romantics, so don’t let being single stop you from celebrating love. Arrange a gift or card exchange in your circle of friends and invite them over for a Valentine’s party. Bake cookies and deck out the house in red hearts and candlelight. Declare a toast to the loving friendships that sustain you.

 

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Okay, Leo, you may not have a date this year, but you can still spread some cheer. Offer to babysit your friends’ kids. Parents of young children often have trouble finding time for romance in their busy lives, so help them out. You won’t be alone, and you’ll have fun playing with their kiddos.

 

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This is going to sound crazy, but this might be the perfect day to clean and reorganize your space. De-cluttering improves Feng Shui, which creates chi (vital energy) that can help attract more magic into your life. If you’re looking for a relationship, enhance the southwest sector of your bedroom with gemstones, crystals and candles.

 

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

Being single isn’t easy for you, Libra. If you’re feeling sorry for yourself, here’s a sure-fire way to cheer up: help someone less fortunate than yourself. Seniors are often lonely, and not just on Valentine’s Day, so see if you can volunteer at a senior center in your neighborhood. Or, look for a church or non-profit group that could use your help.

 

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

You love intrigue and the little white lies behind it, so find an online florist and order a bouquet of flowers to be sent to you at your workplace. Or have a local candy store deliver a big box of chocolates. Sign the card “From Your Secret Admirer.” The water cooler gossip will keep you amused all day.

 

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Recharge your batteries by taking a short trip. It doesn’t have to be elaborate. Just getting on a bus and heading to some new part of town can do the trick. Or, try this with a friend: get in your car, start driving, toss a coin at every corner and turn left (for tails) or right (for heads) accordingly. After a few tosses, have dinner wherever you end up.

 

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

You’ve already got a handle on creating attractive energy that draws people to you. Your flair for success is irresistible. Now’s a great time to share some of the fruits of that success by treating your friends to a special event. Look for a movie, concert, comedy club or theater production you know they will enjoy.

 

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Okay, so you’ve figured out that Valentine’s Day is a plot by flower shops and greeting card companies to bump up their post-Christmas sales. If you’re part of this “bah humbug” group, gather your like-minded friends and have a Valentine’s Scrooge party. Give a prize to the guest who brings the snarkiest card.

 

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Today is the day to amplify the compassionate traits you are known and loved for. Reach out to a friend or family member who needs an open ear. As you listen, offer your support and help them find their way back to a more cosmic perspective. This comes naturally to you, but it isn’t always so easy for others.

February 13, 2019 HOROSCOPES

by Jennifer Angel

Be careful not to be impulsive, but at the same time, be prepared to take a risk.

Aries MARCH 21-APRIL 19
Keep your dreams alive. Don’t lose sight of where you want to end up. If you have a vision of the end result clearly in focus, then all you need to do is decide on the journey to get there. Nothing is out of the realms of possibility, and over this period it is possible to connect with the people who can help move your goals from a business plan to reality.

Taurus APRIL 20-MAY 20
Before you make a decision on anything major to do with your career or love life, gather as much information as you can. It’s not that anyone will try to hide crucial details from you, but with Mercury in the area of friendships you want to make sure your discussions with friends are totally transparent.

Gemini MAY 21-JUNE 20
You are fairly easy going, Gemini, but when you are on a deadline, there is no time this week to entertain those who don’t listen carefully. When you have to repeat yourself to someone who doesn’t focus on what you have to say in the first place it is a waste of time. To be productive, turn of the beeping phone and email, and allow yourself some privacy to strategize your next step.

Cancer JUNE 21-JULY 22
Love planet Venus channels romantic energy your way. For couples, it’s possible to improve your relationship, and for singles, don’t spend all of your time at the office trying to solve the world’s issues. Life is about balance, and too much of any one thing can create a void in another area of your life.

Leo JULY 23-AUG. 22
There is activity around your work life, and your full attention will need to be on the details of a project to ensure it is correct as well as financially viable. You don’t want to get obsessed about it though, sometimes it is best to take a step back and let another set of eyes do the final going-over.

 

Virgo AUG. 23-SEPT. 22
Don’t pass judgment on what someone does in their life if you are not privy to the whole story. Before you take a stand, put yourself in their shoes to get a different approach. Ask yourself honestly what you would do if you were in the same position. Chances are it will be a different answer but that’s what makes us all so interesting.

Libra SEPT. 23-OCT. 22
Some things that happen in life are simply out of your control. Don’t get stressed about something you can’t change. Look on the bright side, there is a lot of good in your life right now; the Sun moves to your area of relationships and can connect you with people you are more in tune with.

Scorpio OCT. 23-NOV. 21
Be careful how you convey some home truths to someone. When you are critical, even if it does come from a loving point, there may be a nicer way to approach what could be a sensitive topic. You want to ensure you encourage rather than discourage someone, and sometimes this can be achieved simply by using a softer tone of voice.

Sagittarius NOV. 22-DEC. 21
If you have a personal dilemma to get to the bottom of, don’t be too hard on yourself; generally, a situation will involve more than one person and sometimes many. It is not up to you to carry everyone’s problems on your shoulders; everyone needs to be responsible for their part in a scenario.

Capricorn DEC. 22-JAN. 19
Planet Venus in your sign helps you make friends with even your adversaries, and will also help to highlight who is on your side and who is not. And whether it’s a business or personal situation, when it concerns money, it is wise to get the ground rules set.

Aquarius JAN. 20-FEB. 18
One way to achieve your goals is to make a plan and follow it through. With the Sun transiting to your sign, you can put a great deal of feeling behind your dream-plan to help manifest what you desire. Once you have the action steps, the rest can be relatively easy going.

Pisces FEB. 19-MARCH 20
Everyone has an opinion on how to best manage their money. When you consider money options, listen to what others do and say, but make sure you follow advice from those who are financially secure, not from people who are still struggling in this area. And at the end of the day, you really just need to trust your own instincts.

How Men Love – Zodiac Sign Guide

by Troi G.

 

We’ve got a handle on how we women fall in love. We’ve spotted the patterns and we know the type of man we prefer. But how about men? How do they deal with falling in love? Find out how men love according to their zodiac sign.

Aries March 21 – April 19

Aries man is an all-or-nothing type. He is active and fiery and likes his women to be the same. He’s not into the gentle sort. He wants a gutsy, intelligent woman he can admire. That’s not to say he won’t love you in a floaty dress. When Aries falls in love, he falls hard. He’s tough on the outside yet his ego is fragile. He likes to think he’s in control of the relationship, even if he isn’t. You might find his intensity too much, but if you can match it, you may have found your life partner.

 

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Earthy Taurus is extremely physical. He’ll fall in love with you between the sheets. Keep him happy there and you’ll keep him forever. He loves luxury and abundance and provided with ample sex and delicious food, he’s a man in love. One thing he appreciates above all else is complete honesty. Truth and trust is the basis of his love. Lie to him and his love will evaporate.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Gemini man is a big challenge for anyone. He takes a long time to commit and often it is better if you play hard-to-get. Predictability is a turn-off for him – he enjoys someone who can personality-shift just like him. He thrives on change so is highly likely to be unfaithful. He’s like a butterfly – needing to try all the pretty flowers. Yet, he also needs stability, so if you can put up with his vagaries and demonstrate a quicksilver mind to match his, you might be a perfect match.

Cancer June 21 – July 22

You Cancerian guy may have fallen for you a long time ago. He was just unable to tell you. You’ll probably need to make the running at the beginning of this relationship. Once established he’ll be supportive, loving and romantic. Cancerian man likes long-term romances. He’s into snuggles and walking hand-in-hand by the ocean. He’ll avoid conflict at all costs, yet he’s happy to have a strong and capable partner.

Leo July 23 – August 22

Leo loves to show off, so get your most show-stopping outfit on and strut your stuff. He’ll be right there, strutting alongside. He loves to play king to your queen – make him laugh, show him your compassionate side and you’ll easily tame the lion. Then it’s up to you if you can live with his propensity to arrogance and his conviction of his own superiority. When he’s having a tantrum, leave him to it. It will soon disappear and he’ll be back to his loving and loyal self.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

When Virgo falls in love, he falls hard. But you may not know it. They aren’t the most demonstrative of people, preferring to keep their deepest feelings hidden. Virgoans may be jealous at times, but understand it arises from his need for security. This need for security extends to his desire for perfection. Despite this, your Virgo guy is sweet and easy to love. Look into his eyes to see how much he cares for you.

 

Libra September 23 – October 22

Libra is a cool customer. He’s passionate, but he’s prepared to wait for the right person. And he’s unwilling to commit until completely sure he’s met the love of his life. He hates to be smothered or to feel trapped. He needs air, so don’t overwhelm or pressure him. He’s not emotional, so be prepared for an odd detachment at times. He processes things in his own way, and you’ll probably never connect on a very deep level.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

If Scorpio has fallen in love with you, you’d better be ready for almost anything. Scorpio in love is intense, passionate, emotional and one hundred percent commitment. There’s no holding back with this guy. Most women are scared off, but if you can take the heat and are prepared to go where you’ve never been before, then you might be the one for him. If you are another Scorpio, then so much the better.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21

Just about the happiest and most optimistic sign of the Zodiac, Sagittarius man in love is joyful and passionate. Always up for an adventure, but just as happy at home with the barbecue. He is thirsty for new experiences and enjoys it when his partner is equally keen on living life to the full. His relationships begin with the heat of passion, but those flames tend to reduce to glowing embers eventually. Sagittarian men make the best long-term friendships, so a romantic affair may transmute to a platonic one in due course.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19

Cautious and somewhat predicable, Capricorn might be hiding his kinky side. Often unable to express what he wants, nevertheless he will respond to a sensual partner. Don’t be put off by his cold, sometimes detached, manner. He has hidden depths that only you can mine. If you are seeking an ambitious, hard-working, loyal mate then Capricorn might be the one for you.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Aquarians are extremely individualistic and are impressed by an intelligent person who can think for themselves. They don’t follow trends and fashion, apart from their passion for tech gear. Present Aquarius with an emotional crisis and he’ll be gone in an instant. Emotions make Aquarius uncomfortable, so logic wins out every time. As an air sign, he needs space and the sense of freedom in a relationship. Try to restrict these basic Aquarian requirements and he’ll emphatically resist.

 

Pisces February 19 – March 20

Going out with a Piscean after a difficult relationship, is like the relief of a cooling stream. No pressure from this guy. He seems to feel what you feel and is sensitive to your needs. That’s because he’s probably an empath. He’s also an incurable romantic. Yet these positive qualities also have their negatives. As he is sensitive to your emotions, he is also very sensitive and touchy himself. This means he’ll withdraw or sulk if upset. Pisceans are adaptable personalities so they are able to make adjustments and go with the flow – all you need to do is let them find their own way.

CHINESE NEW YEAR 2019: A CHINESE ZODIAC GUIDE TO THE YEAR OF THE EARTH PIG

• DONNA STELLHORN

This year, Chinese New Year (also known as the Lunar New Year) falls on Tuesday, February 5. Though this is a full month after the western celebration of the new year, this holiday marks the change from the year of the earth Dog to the year of the earth Pig.

Most notably, this year is all about devotion to friends and family. Pig years are great for spending time with those you love. Make sure you create space for meals with people who important to you!

Of course, the main thing to watch out for during Pig years is a tendency to overindulge. Keep your spending in check, and at all those meals with your friends and family, watch your portion sizes. Take steps to rid yourself of bad habits and addictions. Keep this in mind, and 2019 can be a very productive year for you. The earth element is practical and fiscally responsible. Take some time to set your goals and look into ways to procrastinate less and to release fears of failure and success. You will likely have increased willpower and focus for your most desired objectives.  Patience will be rewarded and so “slow and steady” wins the race. Chip away at your bigger goals by doing a little bit each day.

But most of all, connections have the potential to grow stronger, and new, beneficial bonds can be made. Paying things forward, focusing on kindness, and being considerate to others will bring you opportunities this year.

HONORING CHINESE NEW YEAR

Unlike western traditions like champagne, noisemakers, and fireworks, the traditional ways to mark Chinese New Year tend to be more symbolic, such as wearing something to mark the opportunities coming your way or saying pleasant things to everyone you meet to bring luck to yourself and others.

This day that sets the tone for the rest of the year, so spend some time spreading kindness, offering compliments to others — as well as to yourself. (Sidenote: skip the chicken entree. It’s said if you eat chicken on Chinese New Year, you’ll spend the year scratching in the dirt for your money!)

Read to discover how your Chinese Zodiac sign interacts with the year of the Pig.

 

YEAR OF THE EARTH PIG, BASED ON YOUR CHINESE ZODIAC SIGN

RAT

Rat sneaks in to steal Pig’s dinner, Pig chases Rat away. 

You need to be quick on your feet this year. But good news! No one’s quicker than lucky Rat. Everything you want is there for the taking but you need to make sure you’re first in line.

 

OX

Ox and Pig live happily on the farm together. 

A positive, happy year for Ox natives. The course you set yourself on last year now shows you it was the correct choice to make. The road ahead smooths out and you make great progress.

 

TIGER

Tiger and Pig face off and spar… guess who wins? 

It’s a little challenging this year as you seem to be hearing “no” more often than you generally like. However, even taking the smallest amount of action brings you great results. You’ll end the year with a win.

 

RABBIT

Rabbits dine well on what falls outside the Pig’s pen. 

A lucky year for Rabbit as you are in harmony with the energy. Your sensitive, intuitive nature causes you to be in the right place at the right time. Finding supportive people to help you is easy this year.

 

DRAGON

Mighty Dragon makes his presence known, Pig sleeps through the show. 

A somewhat irritating year for Dragon as all this lazy, indulgent energy doesn’t seem to benefit you and your goals. Fortunately, you can adjust. Soon you’ll see unexpected ways to profit.

 

SNAKE

Snake threatens Pig, Farmer kills Snake.

A challenging year for Snake as Pig is the opposing sign. You are not getting much support this year even from those you love. But no matter, you have the power to accomplish many things especially when others underestimate your abilities.

 

HORSE

Horse paces in his pen, Pig is happy in his.

This is a year for making adjustments. Horse natives should not lock themselves into long contracts or rash promises. Give yourself the freedom to change and you will attract many opportunities.

 

GOAT

Pigs and Goats dine together.

A happy year for peace-loving Goat. You’re in harmony with the energy of Pig. You will receive a lot of interest in your projects and support for your plans. Let others know how they can help you.

 

MONKEY

Monkey teases Pig, Pig doesn’t notice. 

A somewhat frustrating year for clever, energetic Monkey. Others nap when you want adventure and fun. The rest of the world may be shocked at your choices this year but you will prosper if you’re true to yourself.

 

ROOSTER

Rooster wakes the farm, life moves along pleasantly.

A harmonious year as you find projects and goals you’ve been working on for a while really start to show some results. There are many opportunities for you this year. Expand your circle of friends and you’ll benefit.

 

DOG

Dog herds Pig, Pig ignores Dog .

This will be a much easier year for you. You’ve made some changes and wise choices. Now options will present themselves for your career as well as relationships. The road ahead is clear, obstacles are now gone.

 

PIG

Pig enjoys the company of other pigs and the party begins.

It’s your year. This is the beginning of your 12-year cycle. Out with the old and in with the new. Let go of anything or anyone who’s been holding you back. As you release what you don’t want, you will be showered with new opportunities. Enjoy.

Your Weekly Love Horoscopes for Monday, February 10th

Sarah Bartlett, Astrologer

From The Astrology Room

 

With garrulous Mercury moving into laid-back Pisces, it may seem as if many of us have fewer wits about us than usual. However, this is a time for reflection, self-awareness and gentle loving, where it’s not what you say, but what you don’t say that means everything.

With Valentine’s day upon us, send an anonymous missive and let the power of telepathy express your true desires.

 

ARIES

Right now, anything can be sorted out, within reason, particularly personal goals. So for once, don’t compromise just to prevent an argument. With such an enterprising attitude to your own lifestyle and the way you’re going to live it from now on, focus on your love goals, say no to regrets, and say yes to change.

TAURUS

Whether you’re sitting watching the world go by, or engaging in some all-encompassing love relationship, the time is now right to put thoughts into action and make your life what you really want it to be. Ask yourself, what matters to me most? And then once you have found the answer, follow the track and make it all real.

GEMINI

For a long time now, a part of you has been saying, ‘anything for an easy life,’ but there’s a teeny bit of you which longs for more excitement or just someone to smile at you in ’that special way’.  So this week, it’s time to make a Valentine’s wish. Remember, what comes true, is usually what we believe in.

CANCER

Those things we long for are actually the very things we can learn to develop in our own love life. For example, if you envy those who seem to cruise through life without worrying about it, it’s likely that deep down inside, you need to unleash your carefree side. Change your attitude and you change your relationships for the better.

LEO

With so much focus on making new decisions, you’re ready to be more expressive to loved ones than you’ve ever been before. One minute you want to give more of your time to your career, then, the next minute, you feel ready to splash out on a Valentine Day’s outing.  So it’s time to be true to your desires and make the right choice.

VIRGO

Dreaming about what you can achieve in a love relationship is one thing, but you’ve also realised you have to communicate it all too. You may feel regrets from the past and you may feel as if you just don’t seem to get your message across. But from the Valentine’s day onwards, you will. It’s time to be a bit of a brave heart and discuss your feelings openly.

LIBRA

Thanks to the lingering influence of Mars in Aries, it’s hardly surprising you’re ready for all kinds of impulsive action. Just take care you don’t miss out on new love, or reviving an extraordinary affair. Re-open the intuitive channels, tune into the moods around you, and make a very life-enhancing choice.

SCORPIO

Deep down, you know that if your life gets too routine, you’ll only end up rebelling. So get out and about with your lover or partner, plan future changes, travel or new projects. Now’s the time to get out of a rut, especially when the secret sensual side of you seeks liberation.

SAGITTARIUS

Think carefully about what you are feeling now. Are you ready to leap into new action, or to take a Valentine opportunity that comes you way? And if so, are you happy to pay the price? It could be an expensive few months ahead, but the romantic investment will soon be worthwhile.

CAPRICORN

There is a side to you which yearns for more independence. But there is also a part of you which needs to live like others too. Whether single or attached, this is giving you much food for thought. Drop the ideals, it’s time to trust in the kind of love that brings you back to reality.

AQUARIUS

It’s hardly surprising the passionate side of you hungers for romance while the sun dances on through your own sign. So use this empowering energy to strengthen your own sense of identity and make something real. Then you can be loved for the adventurous person you actually are.

PISCES

Living together makes sense financially, and, of course, there are many other benefits. But the desire for a little more independence is eating at your soul. This week, you will be tested in your deepest thoughts, but in the weeks to come, you will know where your true path lies.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

FEBRUARY’S FORECAST INCLUDES A CLEAN ENERGETIC SLATE

• OLIVIA PEPPER

With all planets in direct motion and a lot of cosmic energy invested into new beginnings, February is slated to be an exciting and invigorating month.

Venus—our lady of love and the planet of abundance and beauty—enters orderly, determined, and practical Capricorn on February 3, just a day ahead of the new moon in Aquarius. This new moon, which occurs at the same degree as the Great American Eclipse of August 2017, signifies the end of a long and likely somewhat arduous cycle of work along the Leo-Aquarius axis, which has attempted to teach us a balance between investing in self and investing in the collective. This new moon checks the ledger for what we have learned, then clears the slate and offers us an entirely new trail to blaze. This is an excellent time to set financial goals for the future.

February 7 A lively sextile of Mars to Mercury boosts all of our social skills and brews an air of excitement, which, when combined with the waxing crescent moon, creates perfect conditions for dreaming and scheming. Don’t be afraid to go big when it comes to your goals! The world feels solutions-oriented now; optimism polishes practicality and we’re beginning to get in the swing of the Capricornian mojo that rules so much of the mood of the next couple of years.

February 10 Mercury enters Pisces and awakens the dream state within us, inviting us to take a moment of reprieve from our responsibilities and onerous burdens in favor of blissed out daydreams and possibility. It is a great time to engage with the arts, mystic states, and manifestation magic.

February 13 Mars, the planet of ambition and war, is conjunct Uranus the disruptor at the anaretic degree of Aries. This very erratic and unpredictable energy may create waves in politics and global affairs. Mars is very strong in Aries. While Uranus lingers some weeks more before returning to Taurus for an eight-year stay in the first week of March. Both of these planetary forces—and this fiery meeting—are instrumental in reshaping our ideas of what is to come.

February 14 Mars enters stable and grounded Taurus, lending a certain gravity to our Valentine’s Day observations. Whether partnered or single, use the earthy nature of this transit to invite additional stability into your romantic intentions. Clarify your desires as the moon waxes toward fullness.

February 18 is one of the biggest days of the month: Chiron, the wounded healer, enters Aries for an eight-year cycle through our collective pain. Everything ruled by Mars will be under the centaur’s watchful and healing eye. Global peacekeeping will be thrown into the limelight at this time. Additionally, the sun enters Pisces which is typically a time when we may experience more imagination, sensitivity, and willingness to sacrifice or let go. Venus in Capricorn is conjunct Saturn, demanding that we get real about our desires. This all happens just one day before the full moon in Virgo, which hands us the keys to the kingdom and asks that we get to work.

The final notable aspect is Venus conjunct Pluto on February 22. This cosmic arrangement brings up one last temptation before we move forward with our plans. Do not be swayed. We have gained much insight from our struggles and we must carry those lessons forward without interruption.
