Weekly Horoscope Sunday, February 23, 2020 to Saturday, March 7, 2020

All Signs

Here’s the lay of the land for this week. (Actually, it’s a picture of the skies, but we are down here on terra firma, aren’t we?) The Sun is in Pisces, Mercury Retrograde is also in Pisces, Venus is in Aries and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are in Capricorn. I will touch lightly on each of these planets, with a special notice about Mercury Retrograde being in the dreamy sign of Pisces! This placement of Mercury Retrograde can trigger a situation where you are in error and you don’t even know it. This reminds of the time a Leo friend bemoaned, “I’m supposed to pick up my Mom up at the casino but she didn’t say which one and she doesn’t have a cell phone!”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

With Venus in your sign this week, it’s easy to be diplomatic and charming with everyone you meet. (This is also an excellent time for you to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself because you will like what you see in the mirror.) Admittedly, there are some conflicting energies at play for your sign because the Sun and Mercury Retrograde are hiding in your chart, which means you want to be low-key. This also promotes your ability to do research and study the past. However, your ruler Mars is at the top of your chart arousing your ambition! So, this is something you have to juggle. Fortunately, Venus will pave the way in all your dealings with others. Kiss, kiss; hug, hug.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re popular this week! Many of you are in a leadership role in groups and organizations. You are in touch with old friends from the past, which could be fun – or not. Secret love affairs are taking place for some of you. (You are such a sensuous, passionate sign!) Meanwhile, this gaggle of planets in your fellow Earth Sign is supportive to you! Saturn helps you to work hard. Whatever you do will come out well. Jupiter increases your enthusiasm and optimism for future plans; and Mars makes you want to travel. Mars and Jupiter together will also attract opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Great time to go to school or sign up for a course. So many possibilities for your future!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This continues to be a powerful time for you because the Sun is at the top of your chart, which makes others admire you, especially bosses, parents and VIPs. Obviously, you can use this to advance your own agenda. Mercury Retrograde is also at the top of your chart, which is tricky! Mercury is your ruler. This means old issues with bosses and parents are back on your plate again but there is confusion about something. Meanwhile, Mars indicates you might have disputes about shared property, inheritances and the resources of others. Are these two influences related? Perhaps. Fortunately, fair Venus in your House of Friendship, creates smooth relations with others, especially creative, artistic people.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In some ways, this is a challenging time because the Sun is urging you to travel and explore new horizons and do something new to give your life some thrills and chills! Many of you are thinking about taking a course or going back to school. Issues related to medicine and the law interest you. However, in the midst of this, sits Mercury Retrograde! It’s like taking two steps forward then one step backwards. Your efforts to accomplish something will be delayed or frustrated. In addition, Mars opposite your sign makes you impatient with others. (Hmmm.) Your saving grace is that fair Venus is at the top of your chart smoothing your relations with bosses and parents. This is a good thing.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Currently, the placement of the Sun and Mercury Retrograde make you feel confused about financial matters, especially wills, estates, shared property, taxes and debt. This means you must do what you can to get back in control. Face these issues and get a handle on them. Sit up and be a person. As long as things are fuzzy in these areas, it will drag you down psychologically. When it comes to financial matters, information is power. Therefore, know what is going on with your finances! Fortunately, Mars will energize you to work hard and be efficient. (This is a pleasure.) Meanwhile, Venus wants you to travel and “get away from all this.” Yes!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The Sun and Mercury Retrograde continue to be opposite your sign, which magnifies your focus on your closest relationships, friendships and partnerships. Obviously, Mercury Retrograde will attract ex-partners from the past back into your world. For some of you, this could be financially beneficial because this week you can benefit from the wealth and resources of others. People will give you things or do favours for you. You might even get a loan or finally wrap up the details about a mortgage. Meanwhile, back in the boudoir, this is a hot sexy week for you! Your gonads are in overdrive and you want to play! “More champagne?”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are still in work mode because of the placement of the Sun and Mercury Retrograde. Of course, these two influences are often contrary to each other! The Sun will urge you to work hard and be as efficient as possible; whereas Mercury Retrograde will create delays, mistakes and confusion in your job and work. (Is there no justice?) On top of this, Mars triggers increased activity and chaos on the home front, which might bother you because you like your home to be harmonious and psychologically supportive. One blessing: Your ruler, fair Venus sits opposite your sign, which is the best position for all relationships. (Even with your enemies.) Whew!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Ta da! This is a playful week! It’s a lovely time for romance, sports, socializing with others, enjoying playful activities with kids and escaping on a vacation. All the fun stuff! Nevertheless, these same areas are also under the influence of Mercury Retrograde. This means old flames are back in your life. Old issues with kids are also back on the table. Vacations might suffer from confusion with reservations and travel delays. Aagghh! Fortunately, issues related to your work are excellent! Coworkers are supportive. Expect praise from bosses. You might improve your work space. In addition, Mars now boosts your energy, accelerating your daily pace; but it also makes you opinionated and persuasive!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your focus on home, family, parents and your private life continues to be strong this week. At times, Mercury Retrograde can really trip anyone up. But for you, right now, Mercury Retrograde will help you finish and wrap up lots of old details related to your home or family issues. It can help you delve into old stuff and get rid of what you no longer need. It will also help you tackle home repairs. This is good! You will definitely get time off for good behaviour because Venus encourages romance and fun socializing. Accept all invitations to party! Meanwhile, Mars inspires you to earn money (and admittedly, spend it). Ka-ching!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re running around with an outboard motor on your butt but you’re getting a lot done! Unfortunately, even though the Sun and fiery Mars now energize your communications with others and give you the stimulus to get things done – Mercury Retrograde is also in the picture! Mercury Retrograde will cause transportation delays, car problems, missed buses, confusion with communications (cell phones and computers) and missed appointments. This can be maddening! Fortunately, Venus brings opportunities to entertain at home and redecorate your digs. Venus also promotes loving relations with family members. That’s nice.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money and cash flow continue to be a strong focus for you. At a deeper level, you are pondering your values in life. In other words, what really matters? You don’t want to be 90 years old, looking back and thinking to yourself, “You blew it!” Fortunately, Venus will ameliorate any problems in your life because it gives you rose-coloured glasses to look at your daily world. You will appreciate the beauty of your daily surroundings. You will also see how much love there is in your life. (Venus is your friend.) Meanwhile, Mars is stirring up problems behind the scenes. This means if you think someone out there might not have your best interests at heart – you’re right. Keep your eyes open!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Well, this continues to be an interesting time for you because you are empowered and energizes with the Sun in your sign! This is a good thing. It will attract people and favourable situations to you. (We like!) However, Mercury Retrograde is also in your sign! This is like a magnet for goofy situations. Misplaced items, forgotten appointments, delays, little frustrations, confused communications, and a general sense of feeling disorganized will create obstacles for you. Because Mars is in your House of Friendships, be careful you don’t take your frustrations out on a friend. Chill out. Meanwhile, the good news is that Venus will attract money to you. It will also encourage you to buy beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. It might even attract new ways to earn money? Yes!

Goddess Knowledge – The Bird Goddess/Valkyrie

The Bird Goddess is one of the most ancient goddesses, both a living-giving creator and goddess of death and regeneration. The Valkyrie, a northern European goddess, is a representation of this goddess as death wielder, The bird guise of the Valkyrie is that of a raven, long associated with death and magic. The name Valkyrie means “chooser of the slain”; the face and form of the Valkyrie are the last thing a person sees before death, Valkyries are the psychopomps who lead the soul to the afterworld. For ancient people death was part of a cyclical process leading again to rebirth; black was a positive color, a symbol of fertility and abundance, The Valkyrie represents that part of us that is unafraid of dark places; she can lead into and through them. She reminds us that seeds germinate in the darkness, that sometimes we need darkness in order to grow.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, February 16, 2020 to Saturday, February 22, 2020

All Signs

This week the two celestial bodies that most affect our energy are changing signs. We’re talking Mars and the Sun. Mars moves into Capricorn, which will boost the energy of the Earth Signs – Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The Sun will move into Pisces, to boost the energy of the Water Signs — Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. However, in broad terms, the shift of Mars and Sun will affect everyone. Read your sign to get a hint of what to expect in the next four weeks; but for a longer view, ponder the words of Randy Pausch. “The key question to keep asking is, ‘Are you spending your time on the right things?’ Because time is all you have.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

In the next four weeks, the universe will give you contradictory messages. Fiery Mars, your ruler, will be at the top of your chart, which means your ambition will be aroused! You will want to move ahead in your career, status and reputation. (Avoid being overbearing and domineering, especially with bosses.) However, a contradictory influence will be the Sun, which will be hiding in your chart encouraging you to get in touch with your subconscious mind. Your personal year is ending, which means this is the time to look back over the past year to see how well you are doing at the art of living. (Interesting combo.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re entering a fascinating four weeks ahead! Mars will make you travel and explore the world. It will energize your desire to learn more by taking courses and getting further training. You will do things to expand your mind. While this is at play, the Sun will boost your popularity and encourage you to be more active with friends and also interact with clubs and organizations. It will be easy for you to work and cooperate with others. The next four weeks are perfect for team efforts. Therefore, grab every opportunity to socialize with others as well as study and learn new things because this is a what will give you pleasure and joy!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be at the top of your chart. This occurs only once a year. When it happens, it symbolizes that you are being thrust into a flattering spotlight, which means others (especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs) admire you! They see you as competent, capable and talented (even if you don’t do anything special). Ah, the power of good lighting! This gives you an advantage over all the other signs. During this same window of time, Mars indicates you might encounter conflict about shared property, taxes, debt or how to use the wealth and resources of others. You might quarrel over an inheritance. On the upside, sex will be hot!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Mars is opposite your sign for the next month. This occurs only once every two years and when it does it’s tricky because it can create tension in your life. It encourages conflict with those who are closest to you. It also makes you impatient with others because they seem to be annoying! However, at the same time, an entirely different influence from the Sun will be at play. For the next four weeks, you want to travel and broaden your horizons in every way possible by exploring new and unfamiliar experiences. This is a great window of time to study or take up a new hobby or intellectual discipline. You might also be concerned with legal problems. Be patient with loved ones and be open to learning something new.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will accomplish a lot in the next four weeks because Mars will make you throw your energy into working hard and getting things done. You will take pride in how much you achieve and will feel pleased with yourself. Naturally, you will want credit for your accomplishments, which is why working alone will appeal more than working with a team. (Note: Guard against accidents, infections and fevers as Mars moves through your House of Health.) The Sun will encourage you to take a new course of study or a new hobby or do anything that expands your experience of the world. Travel will be ideal because you want to do something different from your normal routine.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In the next four weeks, you need to pace yourself and be aware of your energy and your health. The reason for this is that the Sun will be opposite your sign, which means it is as far away from you as it gets all year (symbolically speaking) and this means you will need more sleep. Countering this however, fiery Mars will urge you to play, socialize extensively, party with friends and be active in sports as well as spend more time in playful activities with kids and artistic, creative adventures. Meanwhile, ex-partners and old friends are also back on the scene. Busy you!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

For different reasons, according to the personal details of your life, you have decided that you really want to pull your act together and get better organized in the next four weeks. This does not apply just to your job. It applies to every aspect in your world. You want your life to function more smoothly and run more easily. Great idea! Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mars will create increased activity and chaos on the home front for some reason. This could be due to renovations, redecorating, visiting relatives – something. This means you will have to deal with these obstacles while you try to reorganize your world. Good luck!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The next four weeks will be a lovely time for you. The Sun will encourage you to socialize with others. You will party more and explore the arts and appreciate the creative activities of others as well as find ways to express your own creative talents. Sports events and fun times with kids will appeal. Romance will flourish! The next four weeks are the perfect time for a vacation! Fortunately, Mars will give you the energy to be busy every day – physically and intellectually. This means you can handle all this new, fun activity. Furthermore, Mars will help you speak up for yourself! Oh yeah!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Money will be a big focus for you in the next four weeks. This could be related to the fact that home, family and your private life will be a primary theme. You might be more involved than usual with a parent, for example. You might be more involved with relatives or family members you have not seen for a while. Home repairs and old domestic issues will need to be addressed. These might or might not be why you will try to boost your earnings. Very likely, this focus will be part of why you are spending more money as well. But your involvement with increased cash flow right now might also have something to do with boosting your ego. That’s okay. Nothing wrong with a healthy ego!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The next four weeks will be fortunate for you! This is because the Sun will encourage all kinds of new activities for you. Suddenly, you’ve got things to do, places to go and people to see! The pace of your days will accelerate as you juggle short trips, appointments, errands and increased conversations with relatives plus more reading and writing. Yes, you’re busy! Fortunately, like the cavalry to the rescue, fiery Mars will be in your sign as well during this window of time giving you a huge boost of energy! This means that just when you need the vim, vigour and vitality to do so much – you’ve got it! Well you know what they say – when you’ve got it, baby — flaunt it!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Money is a big focus in the next four weeks. You will reflect upon your values to figure out what is important. You might look around you at the things you own to determine whether they help you or are they a hindrance? You will want to establish a greater control of your life through the things that you own. Meanwhile, there’s a strong chance that you will not get the true recognition that you deserve for your efforts in the next four weeks. (This could make you irritable.) Even when you try to correct this wrong impression and assert yourself, you will be undermined by obstacles and others. Don’t worry, in four weeks, when the Sun enters your sign — you will shine!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have much to look forward to in the next four weeks because for starters, the Sun will be in your sign. This is the only time all year it happens and when it occurs, it’s your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. Not only that, the Sun will attract people and favourable situations to you. Yes – you’re the winner! In addition to this, Mars will be in a part of your chart that will make you want to identify goals and start to pursue them. You will also see that you can best achieve these goals by working cooperatively with others. Physical activities, especially through athletics and exercise will be rewarding. Expect to accomplish a lot! Yahoo!

A Thought for More Than Just Today

Priestess Hypatia and got to talk for a while Wednesday late afternoon. Physically she and her family are. But just as probably most Australians emotionally tore up with what has happened to their beautiful country basically needlessly. If the government would have been listening to the ingenious residents of many centuries and allowed those, to my way of thinking, who are learned and professional bush burners to keep the land productive with controlled burns that do not kill and destroy needlessly.

Aboriginal method to control fire

I ask each person reading this to pray or talk to or however you choose to communicate with the God or Goddess of your choice asking that they help open the closed minds of those with power and even those without open their minds to listen to the elders that have had instructions handed down from generation to generation on how to burn the bush in a manner that is safe for Mother Earth and her inhabitants.

Priestess Hypatia also told me there is talk of the ingenious elders teaching people from the USA how to safely do controlled burning to keep us from having out of control wildfires. Which to me would be answering many Californians prayers, especially those that have lost everything in a wildfire some people more than once.

In Wisconsin when I was a child, as you enter it from another state, in most rest areas along major highways, and in other locations they have very big signs of Smokey the Bear with his ranger hat on and a dirt shovel in his hands with his famous saying “Only you can prevent forest fires.” and blow that the risk of fire for that day in different colors depending on the level of risk for a spark or a carelessly thrown out burning cigarette or lightening or anything else that could start a fire. Even though we do not hear about fires in Wisconsin I have seen a couple and as a child I was terrified and as an adult just very angry at whoever the careless person had been. These fires I saw would be only a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the fires in Australia that burned so huge and hot as to create their own weather systems and kill even the seeds that would make the plants and trees starting to grow in the next year or so.

Us as humans, supposedly the smartest animal on this planted, need to learn that “new, improved modern ways” are not always better especially when it to caring for and living in harmony with all living things. We need to listen to the ingenious people who have inhabited the lands we live on for the best way to keep the land and I do not mean just the piece of land your own, as Priestess Hypatia told the land is the whole country around you not just your tiny piece of it, but your state, country, and continent you live in is also something we all need to take better care of. Than maybe…hopefully we will go back to when controlled burns were done instead of uncontrollable wildfires burning, actually having a distinction between the 4 seasons, enough rain globally for crops to grow, humans, domestic and wild animals would have clean water to drink, humans in what we consider 3rd world countries could live as their ancestors did and manage the land and fresh water in such away we would not see commercials asking for donations to feed hungry children or adults. It is time we look back before the industrial revolution to see how things with the land were done not just for the betterment of Mother Earth but for the betterment of all living things that grow upon her. It is time to quit raping the land and to again start caring about it.

So, please in your daily communication with whoever the Goddess and/or God you commune with ask for enlightenment not only for others but for yourself as well to open minds globally to listen to the elders of the land on the old ways of keeping Mother Earth healthy and living in harmony with her. Thank you for doing this!

Blessed be dear ones.

Today is BRRRR cold where I live outside of Chicago, Illinois, USA. But when I took my fur girls out I got a beautiful, wonderful, and rare treat the Crone Moon only having a tiny sliver left until she goes into a restful sleep through the dark and new Moon phases to reawaken as the Maiden Moon. Then looking a little to her left I saw Ra coming up from the horizon to welcome another fantastic day to be alive and enjoy whatever the day may bring us. I wish each of you a rainbow of blessings to use as you need the different colors today. Blessed be dear ones.

Finding Nature in Your Neighborhood

BY MADISYN TAYLOR

Nature is all around us and there is a plethora in every neighborhood, one only needs to become still and watch.

Because both cities and tightly packed suburbs offer wildlife bountiful nooks and crannies in which to hide, it can be difficult to spot the animals that live in our midst. Many thrive among paved streets, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots, and high-rises. There are animals in abundance burrowing in the soil of center medians and tiny backyard gardens, making nests in the trees that line broad and busy avenues, and buzzing around the flowers that beautify our parks. To find these creatures, we only need to stop, look, and listen. Nature’s drama is continually playing out on the window ledges where weary birds stop to roost, in the shadowy places where cautious nocturnal mammals wait for night’s mantle to fall, and the fountains where playful waterfowl splash and frolic. In observing the animals that share our habitat, we become a part of their beautiful, complex, and exciting world.

All Signs

Each year, the Sun travels through all 12 signs, which gives everyone different opportunities to explore. For the next four weeks, the Sun will journey through Aquarius, which is an Air sign (despite the confusion of its symbol the Water Carrier). Aquarius energy is intellectually vibrant, original, inventive and cutting-edge! Aquarians are fabulous net-workers! They love aviation and excel in technology, computers and science. In the next four weeks, these special qualities will flourish more in all of us. Take mathematics for example, there are three kinds of people: those who can count and those who can’t.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

In the next four weeks, you will be more social and more involved with friends. You will deepen your existing friendships and make new friends. Likewise, many of you will be more involved with clubs, groups and professional organizations. It’s important to know that this increased involvement with others will benefit you. (Hopefully, it will benefit others as well i.e. a mutual situation.) The stimulation of others in your life will encourage you to set future goals or change your existing goals for the future. It’s true: friendship is the bread of life – (yeah, yeah, money is the honey.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

For the four next weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart. (This is the only time all year this occurs.) This is an auspicious time for you! It symbolizes that a spotlight is shining down on you, and this light flatters you and makes you look great in the eyes of bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. (Even though you aren’t doing anything special.) Obviously, this is a blessing from the universe. Take advantage of the situation while it lasts. The next four weeks are the perfect time to advance your agenda or make your pitch or convince others to go along with your ideas. Don’t waste this opportunity. Use it!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A lovely influence in the next four weeks will make your life more exciting and stimulating! For starters, you will have chances to enjoy a change of scenery. Wherever you go will feel adventurous and different and very likely, you will learn something new and interesting. In this same window of time, because you have a chance to learn more, you might take a course or study something new and useful. Likewise, opportunities in publishing, the media, the law and medicine will also arise. Use this influence to expand your experience of the world. Do something different! Talk to new people. Learn new things. Shake up your routine!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In the next four weeks, the placement of the Sun will increase your focus on sex, money, wealth and shared assets. In fact, this specific placement, will heighten your emotions and make you feel more intensely and more passionately about everything in life. (Don’t leave home without a rose between your teeth.) This means you will enjoy expressing your physical passions, but you will also just as passionately defend your best interests in the ownership of something. Or you might defend your best interests in what you think is your fair share of an inheritance or a settlement. This same influence will also help you heal (physically and emotionally). An interesting time, indeed!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For the next four weeks, the Sun will be opposite your sign, which is the only time all year this occurs. Because the Sun represents energy in your chart, and it is now as far away from your sign as it gets all year, this means your energy will be diminished. You will need more sleep. (Respect your need for more rest.) In addition, this polarized position of the Sun will increase your focus on your closest friendships and partnerships; and you will see the role that they play in your life and vice versa. You will see how these relationships benefit you – or not. Likewise, you will see how you can benefit them – or not. Obviously, in the best relationship, you are as good for your partner as he or she is for you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In the next four weeks, the Sun will be “useful” to you because it will highlight everything related to work, employment, your health and even your relationship with your pets. It will spur you to be as efficient, effective and productive as possible, particularly in your work – but also in whatever you do every day. You will make To-Do lists and think of ways to catch up so that you feel you’re on top of your game. You might also seek out ways to benefit others because this will be rewarding and satisfying to you. You will want to improve your health in any way you can through exercise and diet. So many possibilities! Good luck with your makeover!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

In the next four weeks, life will be easier and more stimulating because the Sun will be in your fellow Air sign, and this is supportive to you. You will feel upbeat and freer to be yourself! You will choose to do exactly what you want to do. Obviously, this window of time is perfect for taking a vacation. It’s also an excellent time to explore the arts and enjoy playful activities with kids. Grab every opportunity to party and have fun! Many of you will enjoy sports more than usual and be involved with the theatre, the entertainment world or the hospitality industry. The main thing is to relax and enjoy fun times with others. Lucky you!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

In the next four weeks, the Sun will travel along the bottom of your chart. This happens only once a year and when it occurs, it draws your attention to your most personal life including your home and family. Many of you will cocoon at home more than usual because it will feel good to relax among familiar surroundings. You might be more involved with a parent. Likewise, you will be more involved with family members and important family discussions. You might entertain at home, especially with family and children. You will certainly be aware of the role that family plays in your life and the role that you want to play in your family now and in the future.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get ready! The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because the Sun will stimulate your world and everything to do with your daily activity. Expect to take short trips during this window of time. You will also be busy talking to many people, keeping up with a busy agenda of appointments and meetings, all the while doing more reading, writing and studying as well! However, you will love this busy pace because you will be learning something new and your energy will be pumped by seeing new places, meeting new faces and discovering new ideas! (You eat this stuff up with a spoon.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have an interesting four weeks ahead because the Sun will be sitting in your House of Money and Possessions. This will stimulate everything you do with financial matters and cash flow. Naturally, many of you will think about moneymaking ideas. You might consider a major purchase. You will also think about what you own and how to best take care of your belongings. But at a deeper level, you will survey your assets and wealth and think about what is useful to you? What you own should help you, not hinder you. Do you own your stuff or does it own you? In turn, this can lead to deeper questions and speculation about life and what you own. Ultimately, you might ask yourself, what really is important in life? What is most valuable? (Heady stuff.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The Sun will be in your sign for the next four weeks – something that occurs only once a year. Because the Sun is your source of energy, this is your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year! This is the perfect window of time to replenish and restore yourself. The Sun will also attract people to you – all kinds of people – and likewise, it will attract favourable situations to you. This is definitely a fortunate time! Obviously, because of these “apparently random” opportunities that present themselves to you (people and circumstances), you will have a chance to make headway and to move forward in the direction that you want. Make the most of this!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because your birthday is a month away, this means that in the next four weeks, the Sun is “hiding”, waiting in the wings before it sails out centre stage in full Pisces regalia! Therefore, the next four weeks are a time of rest, introspection and contemplation for you. Think about what you want for your new year ahead? Take time to make goals because this will benefit you. When you define some goals, this helps you to make decisions in the future. It keeps you on track with where you want to go. Goals give you a sense of purpose and confidence. You feel reassured because you have a plan. They give you a sense of resolve and reduce feelings of being nebulous about what you’re doing. “We’re off to see the Wizard!
