Its is in the Stars, Week of Feb. 24, 2014

Big Changes in the Star brew this week.

 With the most helpful being, the planet Mercury's return to direct motion!  Happening with a new moon too, all on Friday Feb. 28, the last day of our month of Feb. 2014

What a new moon gives us, is a chance towards new starts! Anything  new in our life, that we want to expand and grow.

 And what a normal direction, for our planet Mercury does, is help us to move forward at last, with our communication ties, also helping us to finalize, those lasting decissions. 

However, all that glitters at first sight isn't always gold!

 Meaning that even though we will all have some relief from the double trouble, of our Mercury going forward again on Friday. There are unfortunately some other planetary changes that can gum up the works, of us feeling like, we at truly moving on forward, towards accomplishing our long sought after goals. 

 Because , action planet Mars, turns retrograde on March 1, immediately followed by stern Saturn's own retrograde on March 2.

 Brining with it, a period of time that you'll want to review the course you've been traveling as you begin thinking about what needs to change, and why it needs to change!

 Both planets then having their turn at stalling us, that seems to give life a slower repeating pace,

 where we have to work things out through extra effort and patience....maybe bringing out stumbling blocks that might now be  suddenly recognized needing unexpected attention!

 All of that... until both planets get back to their normal forward direction . For Mars that will be after, May 18, 2014..... and for the disciplined planet Saturn that wont happen until July 21, 2014.

Seems like a long period of revaluating our lives, and delays. 

 Just keep in mind that the course of our Stars. help to put our lives on course...even though not always without stumbles, and some pain! 

It will be for progress that can withstand the long haul, so the aggravations and delays in the long run, will be worth it!

It is in the Stars...

This week changes that you need to know!

Happy Birthday Pisces! The Sun just began its yearly trek in your sign!

 Giving you Pisces, sometime this month, your birthday!  Your very own personal New Year!

  Did you know.. that days like this, the beginning of any new planetary cycle tends to set the trend for the days ahead?

So, therefore it would be nice to set the new trend positively! Bringing positive results during that new cycle.

 Today's first full day of the Sun in Pisces has a  Libra moon, in positive aspect to retrograde Mercury in Aquarius.

 By its self this helps to set an innovating trend. But today, Feb. 19, our Libra moon will also co-join the action planet Mars, to give a push towards being more active! 

 

 A nice Help for all signs to want to be more involved with using their energy and passions to get things accomplished.

Seems just what is needed as we prepare for the season of spring!

 However, even though that is true, towards being more productive for the next 30 days, we also have a negative planetary  that can snarl up those activities, and muddy up our communications. 

Yes, it will continue to be the retrograde Mercury causing many aggravations,  and changes of your mind, making it difficult for you to see progress. But also the serious planet Saturn this day in negative aspect to our retrograde Mercury, complicates our thoughts, and keeps us seeing all the negatives.

How to cope? Slow down! Use this months trend towards serious careful thought. Maybe areas of your life that you have up until now, not wanted to deal with?  Also try to be as flexible as possible. Remember that innovation for this time period is the key, toward success!

 Happy moving towards spring, today, and Happy Birthday Pisces! Try extra hard to make this day a good one, as it sets our trend until

March 21 the first full day of our spring, 2014!  

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! A day to let loved ones know how much you care!

 Looks like our stars are bringing out those feelings, in a big way, with a full moon!

But... this full moon in proud Leo, is also opposite to the planet of communication. So don't be surprised if all those emotions start giving you, and others, mixed messages!

  That is because, part of you would like to show how much you care, and part of you wants to resist... staying aloof and free of any entanglements. 

 Foolish Pride will be at the root, of it all. Suddenly making you want to be noncommittal. 

 However, with the communicator Mercury, still moving backward, whatever you decide, concerning expressing Valentine's Day emotions, you are likely to change your mind about, by the end of the month!

So tread lightly and keep your options open. That way hopefully avoiding some emotional missteps in your future ?

Saturday, and Sunday, it will be easier to express yourself. All thanks to a Virgo moon leading you towards a more practical approach. 

That clearing thinking also can smooth out those ruffled feathers that could have happened on Friday, Valentine's Day. Enjoy! 

 

Important Star changes this week...

by Valerie Greene

 Expect to feel pulled! Tying to please everyone will be impossible, as we enter the cycle that... I call, "double trouble"! 

 Yes, Mercury is indeed again,....changing direction! 

 The planet Mercury, is the planet that rules thought, communications, and travel. And from our earth's view, about three times in a given year, it appears to change its normal direction, and move backward!

 Bringing with it a feeling of moving backward ourselves! A time period when we change our minds often. When thoughts from our past, often resurface. Especially thoughts, concerning communications that were not finished well, or totally completed. This also includes bringing some people back into our lives that we have not connected to, or with for awhile.

 Mercury does this for completion. Bringing us back to things undone. However, that means that doing and thinking new things for this time cycle will not be easy!

 Mercury is now slowing down as I write this, but will appear to stand still, tomorrow Wednesday, Feb. 5...and Thursday, Feb 6, hence...not easy days to get things done or control! Days of feeling on edge, with many delays.

 Then as we ease into Mercury's retrograde...in full swing, Friday, Feb. 7... bringing more delays, confusion, and feeling like we have to do everything we attempt to do, on Friday, over! Setting that double trouble period in time for about three weeks.

 Mercury at last will again start to move forward, on March 1, But, even though there will be less double trouble, after March 1, keep in mind that Mercury will need to get past the point that it began its change in direction, before we ourselves can safely also move forward in our lives, too.

 That date? This year, also happens to be the first day of spring, March 21. A great boost toward a busy get things accomplished, type of Spring!

In the mean time, how to cope? Try to avoid making any new important decissions, or large purchases that you could find unreliable!

 Also, drive with extra care for the next three weeks. Because what we have set in motion in the past, might now come back to bite us...got a ticket, or had an accident? watch out...could happen again in this time cycle...think patience, and get those old problems attended to!
 Making Mercury in rtrograde,,,Purposeful!

Astrology.com: New Moon in Aquarius!
The Stars This week by Vivian Owen
A New Beginning!

You get a fresh start this week, beginning with a new Moon in Aquarius on January 30 -- a date that also marks the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Horse! Then, January 31 brings three important planetary events! First, Jupiter opposes Pluto, when you'll be reminded to invest in a self-care program. Then, be sure to turn down the noise so you can hear yourself think once Mercury enters imaginative Pisces. Finally, your relationships get back on track as the love planet, Venus, turns direct in Capricorn.

January 30: New Moon in Aquarius
Get ready for a hardworking year ahead as this new Moon marks the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Horse! And, since Aquarius is a sign that loves teamwork, it's a great time to invite others to help you reach your goals. Make sure you return the favor and invest your energy in group projects that make others' lives better. Spend more time with good friends -- they can help you succeed. As with all new Moons, you now have an opportunity to make a fresh start, so whatever you do, make a strong effort to pursue something, whether it's a goal, job, or relationship!

January 31: Jupiter opposes Pluto
Jupiter, currently retrograde in Cancer, is forming the second of three oppositions to powerful Pluto in ambitious Capricorn. Last August, when these two planets connected for the first time, you needed to find a healthy balance between your personal life and your professional commitments. Have you succeeded? Do you have a comfortable home, nurturing family relationships, and a solid self-care program? Invest in yourself during these next few months. By the time of the third opposition in April, your achievements will have been built on an unshakable foundation!

January 31: Mercury enters Pisces
Your imagination blossoms when the planet of communication enters this sensitive, psychic sign! What do you want most? Use this transit, which lasts until February 12, to focus on your goals. You'll experience the most success if you avoid distractions and spend time simply sitting quietly, writing in your journal, or walking in nature. Daydreams and night dreams hold important information for you, so pay attention! It's time to listen to the whisperings of your soul.

January 31: Venus turns direct
Venus entered Capricorn last November 5, then turned retrograde on December 21, so hopefully you've used these last couple months to review your commitments to others and make positive changes. You may have had to let go of certain people or revise the status of specific relationships; or, perhaps you renewed your vows or reconnected with someone from your past. Now the love planet finally turns direct -- and you are more than ready to move forward! Strengthen your relationship bonds as Venus continues its transit through Capricorn until March 5, 2014.

The Stars This Week: January 13-19, 2014

by Vivian Owen  

Invest in Yourself!
A full Moon in sensitive Cancer on January 15 reminds you to keep your personal needs and your commitments to others in balance. On January 16, you'll need to sort out relationship issues as Venus, the planet of love, and Mars, the planet of desire, form a challenging square. Luckily, you get plenty of ideas when Mercury in Aquarius sextiles Uranus on January 17!

January 15: Full Moon in Cancer
Your ambitions and goals for the year were highlighted during the new Moon in Capricorn on January 1. Now, the full Moon in Cancer asks you to focus on your personal needs to make sure that the public and personal aspects of your life are in healthy balance with one another. How can you accomplish this? Start by making changes in your home that soothe you. Get rid of clutter, donate clothes you no longer wear, or simply buy yourself some fresh flowers. Tune into your feelings, thoughts, and body, and make a goal to nurture and take good care of yourself. In the days following this full Moon, but before the next new Moon, form a plan to maximize all that's great as you make changes that will make you feel more comfortable and secure.

January 16: Venus squares Mars
Are you wondering if you should leave -- or stay with -- someone? In this challenging aspect, the planet of love and the planet of desire are not getting along. Venus is currently retrograde in practical Capricorn, which means it's time to review your most important relationships; meanwhile, Mars is traveling through fair-minded Libra. Venus in Capricorn wants a commitment. Mars in Libra wants to invest in a relationship ... but at what cost? This square can either energize your love life or cause complications, and you'll know which way things are heading by the end of the week.

January 17: Mercury sextiles Uranus
A surprising phone call, a chance encounter, an exciting conversation that opens up new opportunities -- all these are possible as the communication planet in open-minded Aquarius contacts independent, unpredictable Uranus in bold Aries! Stimulating conversations can give you the fresh perspective you need at this point. Have fun and be open to whomever crosses your path today, for you're bound to meet plenty of interesting people!
