WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE WEEK AHEAD….

After an intense Full Moon in Leo this week’s energy brings in the calm before the storm. February 10 - 16 is a period of rest, reflection, and intentional growth. With the Sun in its last week of Aquarius, stay ahead of the game and do a last minute clean sweep. Use this week to tie up loose ends and recharge your batteries. Major shifts start on February 16. 

One of those major shifts is Mercury, the planet of communication and information will be stationing retrograde in sensitive Pisces on February 16. When a planet station retrograde, the energy received from the planet is said to slow down. Increased fogginess, introspection, visualization, daydreams, awareness, confusion, sleepiness, disorientation, interests in art and music, and vulnerability are all side effects of this transit.

On the same day that Mercury stations retrograde (Feb 16), Mars will enter Capricorn until March 30, 2020. Mars is our direction and willpower. It represents how we respond, transmute, and navigate through the opportunities and obstacles in life. When Mars is in Capricorn, Capricorn’s earthy persistence is grounding for Mars. Capricorn can give Mars a strong sense of self-discipline, endurance, structure, and stability. During this period, we are more professional, mature, and calm-natured in our endeavors. This is an excellent time for getting down to business. 

Venus currently in Aries until March 4 will join forces with Chiron and Lilith in rare conjunction. This is big news in the cosmos as Venus, the planet of love and relationships gives us an opportunity for a fresh start. With intense emotional healing (Chiron) encouraging us to be brave and live our most courageous lives (Lilith), breakthroughs are occurring on a soul level. You may be shedding karma or trauma from many timelines (lifetimes).

Weekly Horoscopes:

ARIES:

With Venus aligned with Chiron and Lilith in your sign, this is a breakthrough week for you. Venus in your house of self encourages you to pay more attention to your own needs; you may find yourself waking up earlier or spending more time alone at night to rest. With the Moon in Scorpio and Uranus in Taurus influencing your finances sector this week, you may experience sudden changes to a settlement or contractual agreement. Focus on building more value in your life. Be patient and willing to make changes to how you handle money. This is the best time to research or settle a financial risk/debt.

Mars moving into your career zone in Capricorn on Sunday (Feb 16) reminds you that you are ready to take things to the next level. Strong desires to invest in your own business, change positions or career paths, get a promotion, purchase real estate, and increase your wealth are coming to the surface. This energy is intensified as you release self-limiting patterns, triggers, and beliefs blocking you from your full potential (Mercury Retrograde).

TAURUS:

This is an emotional week for you as the Moon spends the majority of the week transiting your health, relationship, and intimacy sectors. At the beginning of the week, the Virgo Moon may highlight underlying issues with your health and wellness as it opposes Neptune and Mercury in Pisces. This may manifest on a mental, spiritual, or physical level. Make it a priority to follow up on any doctor appointments or preventive medicine routines; you need to stop ignoring your body’s messages.

 With strong desires to improve your overall personality and life path (Uranus), you may face imbalances in your relationships. Starting on Sunday, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto will be in your expansion sector encouraging you to take risks, reimagine your beliefs, and rise in your career. Claim it!

GEMINI:

You may discover new information about your friends, family, or community history this week. With the Moon hanging out in your family and pleasure sector (Libra and Scorpio), it may be a good time to have a serious talk with a family member or get clear about shared goals.

However, With Venus, Chiron, and Lilith teaming up in your friendship sector, a group project or vision may force you to take matters into your own hands to get the job done. When in doubt, rely on your natural skills. The Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio this weekend reminds you that everything that begins must end. You may experience the completion of a sudden romance or fling.

CANCER:

This week is all about getting things in order, Cancer. With the Moon in Virgo on Monday and Tuesday, you should complete any tasks involving writing, reading, speaking, and basic communication skills. This is the best time (when the Moon is in Virgo) to learn a new platform, social media channel, or technology software.

 Mid-week when the Moon moves into Libra and Scorpio, your focus will shift to family and home matters. With Mars joining Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn on Sunday, your relationship with a significant other or strong male energy in your life rises to the next level. This is also the last week to research new ventures, ideas, or passion projects before you need to make a decision. Find out what you need to know or do to get this “thing” off the ground.

LEO:

The focus is still on you this week as the moon continues to wane (move away from) the Full Moon in your sign last week. Depending on your rising/ascendant placement, this could be a time of emotional excitement and curiosity. It would be in your best interest to take things slow and continue to explore your options as new opportunities will keep popping up all month long. You may get a dose of reality early Tuesday when your values (Moon in Virgo) have a hard time aligning with your thoughts and dreams (Mercury and Neptune in Pisces). A project, idea, or goal may need to be put on pause until the logistics make sense.

Unexpected changes in your career could cause tension to your home, financial security, or family this weekend. An agreement or contracts like a lease, mortgage, or loan may be coming to an end or you could receive news about an increase of fees. This may also manifest as an increase in pay initiated on your behalf (you are ready to attract more influence and money). This is intensified as Mars moves into your health and work sector in Capricorn on Sunday, Feb 16.

VIRGO:

You could be feeling sleepy and a little disoriented at the beginning of the week. Be gentle and take it easy on yourself if you feel a little sluggish and unmotivated. After the Super Full Moon in Leo last weekend, it’s normal if you have any doubts or unresolved emotions floating around. Just make sure that you start fresh when the Moon spends all day Monday in your sign.

 Money and necessities may take up most of your energy on Wednesday and Thursday as the moon moves into Libra, so take advantage of the pleasant vibes -- you won’t get an opportunity to hash issues out so effortlessly for a while. If things still feel off or you are more sensitive than usual, this could be the result of Mercury about to station retrograde in your opposite sign of Pisces. It could also be the result of Venus’s opposition with the Moon in Libra highlighting a relationship or commitment issue that is draining you. With Mars moving into Capricorn on Feb 16, it may be time to get serious about a hobby or what really brings you pleasure. 

LIBRA:

Venus, your planetary ruler is in your opposite sign Aries all month. Venus will conjunct Chiron and Lilith this week in Aries -- this energy brings healing and renewal to your relationships and image. For the first time in seven years, you have the opportunity to create new patterns in love. Mercury stationing retrograde in your wellness sector on Sunday (Feb 16) encourages you to focus on your health. Commit to one small goal like 5 minutes of daily meditation to keep you grounded.

With the Scorpio Moon sextile (supported by) Saturn (rules and discipline), you will have the strength and willpower to put your ideas into motion. Mars entering your communication sector in Capricorn brings professionalism and focus to your thoughts. If you’ve been feeling scattered with Mars in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn from Feb 16 - March 30 will help you calm down.

SAGITTARIUS:

Things start to settle down for you this week once Mars moves into your money sector in Capricorn on Feb 16. After six weeks of personal focus, it’s time to get down to business and focus on what truly matters.  At the beginning of the week, the Waning Gibbous Moon in Virgo highlights your career sector. With the Moon (emotions) opposite Neptune (dreams and fantasies) and Mercury (thoughts and ideas), you could feel like your energy is scattered. You may notice very quickly that a career path, idea, or project just isn’t working -- and this is most likely the result of you not carefully thinking/planning things through. Instead of panicking, evaluate the situation -- there is always a solution.

With the Sun still in Aquarius, there is an increased interest in using technology as a way to build and engage international affairs, trade, and study. You should take advantage of the Moon in Libra, challenging you to build new connections in your career and profession, especially on Feb 12 and 13.
