Horoscope for the Week beginning Feb. 20
By Michael OāConnor
Tip of the week
The first of two 29-degree New Moons in Aquarius and Pisces respectively occurred on February 18. These are part of a larger series of signs which specifically began on October 23, 2014 coinciding with a 0 degree Solar Eclipse in Scorpio. That the first of this series was Scorpio is its own indication of not just change but transformation. The next 29-degree Moon occurs in Pisces just hours prior to Spring Equinox.
We can count the four 0 degree New Moons as a steady deep beat of the drum and the two 29-degree Moons as two sharp hard beats. The fact that the Pisces New Moon on March 20 is a Solar Eclipse suggests it will be the sharper of the two and the Lunar Eclipse that follows two weeks later on April 4 with be akin to a hard clap of two large cymbals. The 29th degree of a sign is considered critical and indicates a time and/or theme of āovercoming.ā That fits the human condition very well. The message woven into this New Moon is inviting us to awaken and realize that we have arrived at a critical juncture.
In the Sabian Symbols, which constitute what has been described as an āAstrological I Chingā, 29 Aquarius speaks of āspiritual revelationā which in turn refers to āhigher levels of reality.ā In a time such as ours when the realities of an evolutionary crisis has already crossed the line where the exponential curve drives straight up, it may be worth acknowledging that we need help and then to actually ask the universe, the angels, Godā¦ for help. It is said that free will is a veritable law of life and that unless we ask for help, we will not be given it. Alternately, we can choose to activate our own powers of intention for courage, awakening, healing and resolution. Whatever we choose to do, we can also expect this pressure to awaken to increase over the coming weeks.
Feb. 20 – 26
Aries (Mar 21 ā Apr 20)
Your intuitions are running high. The time has come to take some key initiatives. With the last month of winter now underway, you may want to get a jumpstart on the new season. The prospect of hitting the reset button in some of your most important relationships remains a high priority. Whether in love or business it is time to advance or at least to take the first steps.
Taurus (Apr 20 ā May 21)
Sometimes good dreams must share some time with others less enchanting, even disturbing. Such upsets are a part of life. How we handle them is the main question. Will you be reactive or proactive? In like manner, often a bit of both occurs. Consequently, you are experiencing a lot of shifting and shuffling behind the scenes or at least in the back of your mind.
Gemini (May 21 ā June 21)
Some long-held dreams or visions are being realized. These may be ushering you to a new level of popularity and prominence. Fresh encounters with friends old and new are featured. At worst, you may feel like you are swimming upstream especially in some of your closest relationships. Positively, this is helping you develop strength and character. Either way, extra efforts are required.
Cancer (June 21 ā July 22)
In certain respects, you have reached a critical stage. This may be especially true at work or in the quality of your lifestyle. The time has come to take it to a whole new level or to get into a new job or routine altogether. More efforts and focus are required. Whether to get more education or training or to change your attitude or strategy is on your mind.
Leo (July 22 ā Aug 23)
Some cycles take us to deeper places. Going within and/or conducting new research studies is featured. At worst you feel tumbled and overwhelmed. Yet, if you appreciate the inner rhyme and reason, you will accept that circumstances are serving to shift your perspectives. This will result in new thoughts, conversations, exchanges and perhaps new investments and commitments too.
Virgo (Aug 23 ā Sep 22)
A summons to face your fears in order to realize some of your life goals has been sounded. Sometimes it is hard to see how certain turns fit into our life purpose. However, there is a flow and it has a way of asserting what will happen next. We can exercise free will and resist. Yet, it is better to cooperate. This is where Astrology helps a lot; it provides the parameters of probability.
Libra (Sep 22 ā Oct 22)
You may feel pushed these days to think rather deeply or at least soberly about how and why you think and perceive and interpret things the way you do. You have the right and reason to do it your way. Yet, is your life flowing as you would like? Sometimes other people enter our stage and invariably provoke new thoughts and perspectives. Embrace this opportunity.
Scorpio (Oct 22 ā Nov 21)
Whether you are reaching within or without, something is pushing you to increase the quality of relationships shared with others. This process of awakening is occurring at core levels. Positively, creative inspirations are surfacing. These may be the result of or the activation of romantic love. New levels of confidence socially and professionally are the flowers of this flow.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 ā Dec 21)
A revolving message that says something likeā¦think about the futureā¦keep an open mindā¦move onā¦what from the past is incomplete and requires completion and closureā¦ is tumbling in your mind. You may not know yourself as well as you once did. Yet, you may well feel the call of love and companionship or at least company and community. Answer this call.
Capricorn (Dec 21 ā Jan 19)
The question of investment for the future is ever a lingering one. Every thought, word and deed constitutes his/her own investment but then there is the question of capital. Deciphering priorities is part of the game. If it has not already, your focus is soon likely to turn to home and family. An indication of inheritance is on the charts as well. Now back to the future.
Aquarius (Jan 19 ā Feb 19)
You are getting a big green light. The time has come to make your next series of moves and initiatives. However, you may have to contend with a few rather deep puddles. These represent emotional themes and are linked to both love and money. Maybe the realities of someone close to you are slowing your pace. Accept the situation and advance slowly without stoppingā¦
Pisces (Feb 19 ā Mar 20)
āWho are you?ā asks the Cheshire cat as a ring of pungent smoke encircles you. Beyond the obvious, this question is meant to encompass the larger reality of your life at this time. There are indications that it is time to broaden your horizons, or at least to prepare to. The push to take actual steps to this end will begin very soon. With the right strategy your financial picture could get much brighter.
