Thursday, Feb. 16: The sun and Saturn meet in a serious conjunction in Aquarius. Energetically, sun-Saturn can feel like the anticlimax of Venus-Neptune. But it doesn’t have to be. If Venus and Neptune’s dreams and ideals are based on higher, unconditional love, then the sun and Saturn will give them a solid three-dimensional foundation. If what we want (Venus) is in alignment with what the universe wants (Neptune), Saturn will give us what we need.
Friday, Feb. 17: The sun and Saturn align today, making for an oh so serious end to the week where long-term goals are not just the focus, but are possible. Happy birthday to pop star Ed Sheeran as he turns 32 today.
Saturday, Feb. 18: Today, the sun enters Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac. The Pisces season is when we complete the 12-month cycle, or one astrological year. February and March (the time before the Aries equinox) have always been a good time to declutter the house, the body, the mind and the soul. During the Pisces season, take some time to reflect on what this astrological cycle has meant for you. Happy birthday to Pluto. Not the cartoon dog, but the planet, discovered by astrophysicist Clyde Tombaugh on Feb., 18, 1930.
Sunday, Feb. 19: At 6:24 p.m. the sun moves from Aquarius to Pisces. A mixture of tension and joy fills the day with sometimes conflicting energies. Copernicus, as well as being an astronomer, was also a mathematician and physician. However, it is for the formulation of his heliocentric theory, whereby planets revolved around the sun, that he is most revered. He was born Feb. 19, 1473.
Monday, Feb. 20: Today, Venus enters Aries. In Aries, Venus knows what she wants and goes after it. This period can also make us prone to instant gratification: “I want this and I want it now.” The best quality of Venus in Aries is emotional honesty. When we tap into this period’s boldness and aliveness with an open heart, we automatically connect with the part of us that is real and genuine. Venus in Aries is a great transit to practise emotional honesty with yourself and others. Do you like pancakes? Own it. Do you dislike Madonna? Own that, too. Venus in Aries is not necessarily about broadcasting your feelings to the world but about accepting them. Happy birthday number 35 to Rihanna born Feb. 20, 1988.
Tuesday, Feb. 21: The moon conjoins Neptune in Pisces, making for wonderful imaginative ideas – at best – and when Mercury is squared by Uranus, making a surprise that is likely too hard to handle. Happy birthday number 37 to actor Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, and famous for the film “Juno.”
Wednesday, Feb. 22: Mercury in perfect harmony with Mars makes for precise and decisive thinking. We first saw her as a seven-year-old in “E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial.” She now haS has her own daily talk show and today Drew Barrymore is 48.
