Starcast for the week beginning February 22nd, 2012
ARIES [Mar 21 - Apr 19]
If something keeps on happening, it means it is not resolved. Sounds simple enough, eh? Yet even when you think you have worked through a certain set of feelings, all sorts of emotional remnants can make their way to the surface to remind you of their presence, especially when your ruler Mars is retrograde in Virgo. It’s similar to shining a spot light on what needs your attention, of what needs to be tweaked, torqued and adjusted. Mars will be in Virgo until July so why not embrace the feeling and commit to doing the low down and dirty work. The rewards for answering the call so to speak will be boundless, endless and have a tieless impact. Loving Venus is still in your sign as well reminding you of all that you want and need more of in your life. As I write your forecast Aries we are hours away of a New Moon in Pisces in your house of the ideal. While you are working on your ‘stuff’, stop and take the time to energize your big picture dream. This week it will have a magical way of motivating you.
Anything worth anything is always worth the effort as well as the wait!
TAURUS [Apr 20 - May 21]
On Tuesday afternoon in the west, February 21, there is a New moon in Pisces in your house of innovation and liberation. My goodness Taurus I feel as if this is the only thing I have been writing about for you for weeks, don’t you? I don’t make this stuff up, I just read the planetary maps and do what I can to report on what the universe is urging you to do and how you are being tested or supported. The New Moon energy now can create an ease of action, your personal energy can be high and light and your head clear of noise and distraction. Your ruler Venus, although in Aries, is also in a Pisces house which means you will be REALLY reaching for the dream which is having a way of expanding your horizons and your sense of all that is possible, which is one heck of a lot.
There is serious fortitude brewing within you and will peak mid March so prepare well to do something big with the energy that will be bursting on this Earth and down deep in your Soul!
GEMINI [May 22 - Jun 21]
The fastest way to feel in control of a situation where you feel some behind the scenes manipulation is going on, or perhaps some passive aggressive behavior is occurring, is to surrender. Yep, Surrender Gemini. Sometimes the best action is zero action, as in removing your energy so that it cannot fan the flames The sooner you get tied up in destructive forces by participating in it in any way, the faster you will reduce yourself to someone else’s sorry and sad Soul station. You are bigger than that and better than whatever may be getting under your skin. Surrender is a powerful force. You will be in control when you lose control. By losing control I mean losing your attachment to trying to direct life’s current. The New Moon in Pisces in your house of control says the Gods have it all handled from here so save your energy and allow the invisible forces to do their thing. Something will feel unusually effortless this week, a certain stress will disappear as soon as you simply let go.
Poof, just like that!
CANCER [Jun 22 - Jul 22]
This week’s forecasts kicks off with a New Moon in fellow water sign Cancer. ‘Like attracts like’ as the saying goes so this puts you in an energy of flow where the current carries you more easily than otherwise, increasing your ‘chi’, that vital inner life force that creates a feeling of good health and a free spirit. When your mood is elevated as it will be with this New Moon, then your energy is directed well and focused on the things that matter most. You will feel naturally inspired and will find a great deal of strength, especially when you can also be soft in the process. No one does soft like you do Cancer so use this nurturing quality to turn a certain something around. Perhaps beyond nurturing others, this is about also finding a way to nurture yourself. Friends and like minded others will have a way of showing up for you in the coming weeks which will increase your feeling of community and connection. Make a wish and it will resonate long and loud. You have every reason to feel confident that you are being divinely guided and protected. Use that inner strength to spring forward with courage and a GROWL!
Better yet, a Prrr will have them eating out of your hand!
LEO [Jul 23 - Aug 22]
Once a month, every month, we are given a gift in the name of a New Moon. With every New Moon, a door opens, something eases or gives us a lift but at the very least there is a shift in energy. When there is a shift and a lift there is growth and there is opportunity for more. On Tuesday February 21, a New Moon in Pisces in your house of the Soul allows you to quiet the inner seas and turn in to a private place to find comfort. It will encourage you to rest and relax versus pushing or trying to control the tides. It is promoting more trust in the process of life and in the universal ways of the world. When there is trust, whether it is in a person, in the timing of things or simply in where your journey is all headed, something deep can settle. When you are inwardly calm, you will finally be clear, and then all will be well! No need to push or force a thing this week.
Change is not needed, inner peace is preferred as you will soon see with another as it proves to be the magic touch!
VIRGO [Aug 23 - Sep 22]
The fear of anything is never productive for fear simply causes you to freeze. When you freeze you become stuck and if this persists you can become sick. This paralysis of sorts is known and has been experienced in varying degrees by us all. As Mars moves retrograde in your sign you may be feeling the funk and becoming the master procrastinator in a certain area of your life. However, with the New Moon in your opposite sign on Tuesday, February 21, someone may have just the right medicine to release you from an apparent spell freeing you from a certain self created prison. Often times all it takes is a nudge or the presence of someone who truly cares about you to snap you out of it and get you going in a healthy direction again. A New Moon is truly a mood altering alignment and considering it lands in your house of relationships, it suggests a certain special someone is going to recognize your light and help to bring a smile back into your eyes again.
Lean on them and those low down heavies will be left in the dust where they belong!
LIBRA [Sep 23 - Oct 23]
Isn’t it truly something when you have been down a rocky road, you come to appreciate the simplest of pleasures? Even the Sun coming out from behind the clouds and finding your face can feel like a rare gift that can carry you for hours. It can feel like someone, somewhere up there, is still in your corner so to speak. Saturn’s movement through your sign has done one thing for sure, it has made you so self aware, you do not take advantage of anything that you might have allowed to go unnoticed in the past. On Tuesday, February 21 the New Moon in Pisces in your house of health and improvements will help to heal an area of your life where you have had an ongoing wrestling match. You will experience a new lease on life where you previously felt like you were pulling teeth to get something going. In an area of your life where you have had to work and sweat and tough it out, it will slide and glide. A certain boat you have found yourself in is about to be “lifted off the rocks and taken down river to a better place” (Pinkola-Estes).
Enjoy the breeze, the view and the ride!
SCORPIO [Oct 24 - Nov 21]
Wouldn’t it be a wonderful thing if there were certain springs in nature where you could immerse yourself in the water and be cleansed of all the energy you seem to collect along the way? You can’t help but osmose all sorts of energy in the world Scorpio as well as the energy of those around you because it is simply the way you are wired. You also have a way of taking in things all the way to the core. You don’t scratch surfaces, you go all the way or you don’t go at all. There may not be any magic springs to wash your energy clean but there are certain planetary alignments that do have a way of removing the film and the shadow. On Tuesday, February 21, a New Moon in fellow water sign Pisces will do what it can to be the natural spring that you need where you can purge and purify all that is not yours. You are in the process of ridding yourself of people that energetically and karmically do not mix with your make-up and replacing them will people that do and can. It is a prime week to clear some of those inner decks so better things can make their way in.
Sweep and receive!
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 22 - Dec 21]
Life and all of the responsibilities that go along with it are high in focus now as people in all directions are currently vying for your attention. What do you do when the universe is asking more from you than you’ve got? Better to give one or two things your all than to disperse your efforts thereby diffusing the impact. There is much that needs your time and attention these days to the point of feeling like every hiccup on the 'road to hoe' has become exaggerated. The New Moon in Pisces on Tuesday February 21 will allow you to exhale, it will remind you that there are forces far larger than this plane at your wings and happy to take some of the heat and shoulder some of the burden. This will help you make the necessary emotional adjustments so you can manage the journey ahead knowing you have full support. There are plenty of perks being a Sag and especially at this time as Venus in fellow fire sign Aries is sprinkling some of her celestial gold dust all over your world in order to brighten your days and lighten your load.
You won’t have to look far to feel her magic!
CAPRICORN [Dec 22 - Jan 19]
You can be one tough customer Cappy and at times for most it can be a losing battle when they come up against your strength. You do have them all fooled by the way. You know it and I know it because behind closed doors, especially behind the doors of your inner home, you are soft and more sensitive than people presume. I hope I have not given you away so to speak by announcing it to the world, but you will find this week if you let out some of that sensitivity it will carry you far further than it would have if you held your ground. A New Moon in Pisces on Tuesday, February 21 is going to serve to bring down a certain inner dam which will in turn prove to unlock abundant potential in your life. Some old structures containing old beliefs are coming down Cappy, and you will be thanking your lucky stars they are, for a wide open road with a far better feel will be the result of you removing some of those personal walls. As a result you will have a world more to offer.
In other words, if you make yourself a wee bit more vulnerable, you will have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
AQUARIUS [Jan 20 - Feb 19]
Dreams can become a living reality as the New Moon in Pisces on Tuesday, February 21 in your house of what you value most illuminates some FAR OUT potential in the world of how you earn. This New Moon energy and the wishes you makes have a two week influence now and will set the stage for a strong month ahead in March where some highly auspicious energy will be clearly present for the taking. You will not have to look around this bush or that corner, all will be well marked. A good, strong wave is building Aquarius, one that is destined to take you places and carry you far forward but you must be fully on board for the ride - wet suit and surf gear are a must!
Commit with your whole Soul and the breakthroughs that will follow will blow your mind, radically changing the world as you once knew it!
PISCES [Feb 19 - Mar 20]
Once a year during your birthday month you are granted a cosmic gift from the universe, it is called a New Moon and it has your name on it. On Tuesday, February 21, a New Moon in Pisces energizes your house of new beginnings and fresh starts giving you a new vantage point and a horizon of hope. Life is slowly but surely lining up well for you now as Pluto, Mars and Jupiter are traveling in compatible Earth signs and in a few weeks time will form a Grand Trine, a triangle in the sky. This will surely secure something meaningful in your world, particularly as it relates to certain relationships. More on that front in the coming weeks but for now wish to your heart’s delight - it is the universe’s gift to you.
Think deeply and dream daringly before you blow out those candles!
