From February 20th to the 28th there is a fine line between stubborn resistance and a lack of resolve.
Luck follows us when we are able to gather new information without having to let it descend on anyone else. Sometimes a new insight is just for one person. Sparks of enthusiasm follow appropriate changes in plans. Some things we alter may seem cuckoo to others. We must follow our own insights.
20th – Monday – The New Moon on February 20th is at 2:05 AM EST on the 1st degree of Pisces, Venus enters Aries, Venus Semi-square Uranus –
Our ideas may not be completely formulated, but the emotional impulse is strong enough to carry us forward. The jolt we feel propels us into action. We may be required to help someone in need, but unless this is the case, we must stay within the guidelines of our own expertise. Interruptions and upset with plans are unavoidable, but with the right spirit, they can be integrated into this eventful day.
21st – Tuesday – Mercury Square Uranus –
Forces at work may be plowing a field we had just as soon lay fallow. It is all part of the Divine Plan. Our best strategy is to see where the parade is going, make an assessment as to its worth, and get on board or stay away. These are the times when we find out what is at the core of our beliefs.
22nd – Wednesday – Mercury Trine Mars –
With a burst of enthusiasm, we may feel like a snake shedding its skin. The past difficulties are still there, even if dormant. We aren’t responsible for the parochial biases of our culture. We do our part when we see what must be done, do it, then relax.
23rd – Thursday – Even when we know we are winning, it is prudent to know when to pull back.
Not out of fear of loss, but because we have enough. Consolidation comes without having to do too much. Excess energy can be channeled into exercise or helping others.
24th – Friday – Jupiter Contra-parallel Neptune –
Good things are happening; we must acknowledge them. To be grateful is a gift. Pushing the envelope now will not end well. There are at least 250 ways to express joy at this moment; choose one and express it. We may start something that concludes right at the turn of the month. Wishing for something that will be really good in the long run is a blessing, but also gives us our marching orders.
25th – Saturday – Mercury Contra-parallel Uranus, Mercury Semi-square Venus –
What good is it to head down a blind alley? Even a mistake can tell us something valuable. To follow a hunch against the grain of reason is not necessarily a bad thing. Rather than being frustrated with our disappointments, or feeling that we have wasted time, it is better to learn lessons by sharing. Other people make these mistakes as well.
26th – Sunday – Sun Semi-sextile Venus –
Baby steps in the right direction help our overall mood remain light and positive. If we are patient, good things find us. It’s time to reconnect with those we have been out of touch with. Simple reaching out can be very uplifting and validating.
27th – Monday – Mercury Semi-sextile Neptune –
We can reclaim a more positive outlook by inspecting the results of our past actions. Ideals we have embraced in the past are calling out to be reenergized. It is time to take a stand. Even though we are in a difficult time on the planet, there is some very good news; we just have to look for it.
28th – Tuesday – Venus Contra-parallel Neptune, Mercury Semi-sextile Jupiter, Venus Parallel Jupiter –
What is most important now is to feel worthy of the help being offered, and to recognize it. Our feelings pave the way; this is why it is important to be happy and to express joy. We are finalizing an important step of our journey. We do not have to revisit recent events, they have their significance, but they are over.
