Capricorn Capricorn
February 12 ~ February 26
Never have we been more starved for connection. With Mars retrograde in Cancer in your house of relationships, you are feeling the places within you that are not being fed and matched by others. The fastest way to balance the scales is to go deep with people. Talk about your dreams, the meaning of life, music that makes you feel something, and why. Talk about what keeps you up at night, your insecurities and your fears. Make yourself vulnerable and you will come to find that another will naturally respond. Mars is showing you what’s emotionally missing, and revealing what you need more of in order to harmonize with others. The love you want starts with nurturing your own inner dwelling, and there is no better energy than Mars retrograde in Cancer to lead you into those tender feeling tributaries. Mercury, the ruler of the transiting South Node in Virgo, enters compatible Pisces on Valentine’s Day, Friday, Feb. 14, to soften the energy in the sky so more compassion can seep into your connections. Mercury continues on to form an absolutely stellar trine to Mars the day Mars stations direct in Cancer, Sunday, Feb. 23, which is simply marvelous for communication and outreach. If something has been heavy on your mind or weighing your heart down, there is no better time to express your depths and free yourself from any unwanted emotional burdens. So much feeling content can be quickly worked through, especially if everyone is on the same page, which means keeping love at the center of the conversation. Just as Mars moves direct, Venus stations retrograde in Aries less than a week later on Saturday, March 1 ~ April 12, in your house of home and the emotional body. It may have you walking down memory lane or working through old connections that you thought were buttoned up. At the very least, you will want to be more emotionally connected in every way. Venus backs into Pisces on March 27, and then re-enters Aries again on April 30, and will not clear the shadow of the retrograde until mid-May with Mars clearing his shadow May 1. There are bound to be many moving parts until then, so make room for changing your mind as well as your plans, because you want to, not because you are forced to do so. If someone handed you a lump of clay and said mold your tomorrow, what would you create?
Feel it and then show us!
