Don't miss an opportunity to make significant progress with your goals and dreams this week as a new Moon in Pisces occurs on February 21! Then, when Mercury opposes Mars on February 22, you're challenged to get your words and actions on speaking terms with one another. Finally, people are willing to give you all the help you need when the Sun sextiles Jupiter on February 25. Be sure to take advantage of this beautiful aspect!



 February 21: New Moon in Pisces....

Turn off your cell phone, put your work away, stop being so busy and spend time alone. Neptune joins this magical new Moon, giving you an unusual opportunity to tap into your dreams and desires. What are your goals? Whether you write out a top-ten list of what you want to bring into your life, or simply set aside time to be more contemplative, spend quiet time today -- and for a couple weeks -- leading up to the next full Moon on March 8., Jupiter and Pluto form helpful aspects, demonstrating that powerful and influential people are available to help you.


February 22: Mercury opposes Mars

This is an argumentative aspect, and with Mercury currently in sensitive Pisces, do what you can to be considerate of others' feelings. You'll certainly hear opposing points of view, and your ideas are likely to be challenged. Mercury in Pisces is anything but logical, and retrograde Mars is a bit frustrated that things aren't moving more quickly. Take a deep breath and, if you can, choose another day to present your best ideas.

February 25: The Sun sextiles Jupiter

This aspect brings an abundance of opportunities, but you'll have to be alert to take advantage of them! The imaginative Pisces Sun is helped by the practical knowledge and financial know-how of Jupiter in Taurus. You may meet a benefactor or inspiring visionary to help you to see the world differently and break out of old ruts. Make the most of this opportunistic transit!

A week that is going to take some careful thought and negotiations... if it will be recognized as a good one!


Yes, even though this Sunday morning, Feb. 12, might have started out quite sublime...coming from a Sun, moon, trine.

Things go down hill a bit from that, in the afternoon. As we notice a large change in mood?

All due to our moon's influence! The first, aspect that seems to change our Sunday's trend...

Is the co-joining of the moon, to the serious planet Saturn... making us see the more somber, aspects of life!

Then, early Sunday evening... it changes its influence, again! As it enters the intense, secretive, probing sign of Scorpio, at 5:01 p.m. est.

That moon tend, is to withdraw, and go inside ourselves!

Quite a change, from what many of us were experiencing through most of the weekend.

Best to prepare for other changes, as we begin our work week too. Why...because of the ending cycle of the planet Mercury's stay in Aquarius... as it has been since, last month's, Jan 27?

Mercury, the fastest moving planet in our solar system, seems to be always changing signs...changing the ways we think, and communicate...as it moves from one sign, to another.

Often causing changes to our...decision making, and what feels like our progress, towards future goals. And this week, this quick-talking, celestial body, has decided to do just that, bring lots of Change.

Starting as our work week begins, February 13, as it, still in Aquarius... forms a positive aspect, with sensible Saturn.

That alliance good, aspect, helps our Monday, to be a good one...especially helping you to make plans, and have serious discussions.

Perhaps, with even a bit of careful reflection on how we can uniquely and quickly, solve our pending problems? As these new ideas, can bring needed, solutions!

The very next day, February 14, is the day to say, "I love You"! Valentine's day!

Also, on Tuesday, Feb. 14 the planet Mercury changes its sign, as it enters the Dreamy, sensitive, water sign of Pisces...  unfortunately, adding towards making that special day, a bit difficult to plan, and get through... without a few mix-ups and hurt feelings!

In other words, this new position for Mercury, on Tuesday, Feb. 14...has a tendency to make communication challenging, and vague.

However, if you stop trying to be rational and simply tune into your inner self and your surrounding... Mercury in Pisces will significantly enhance your intuition. In fact, you could become almost telepathic, if you listen to your inner voice?

Also, on Valentine's Day... Mercury co-joins the planet Neptune, a transit that almost guarantees that our heads could be, in the clouds.

Best to save any meaningful talks, and decissions for another time! Instead, try to enjoy all that you are grateful for! Guard your ego too, if you want to have your Tuesday, Valentine's Day, to be a peaceful, happy one!

Wednesday, Feb. 15, another trend from a moon change... picks up our energy, and our spirits...but not without some challenges! The morning hours are that best time, to make needed amends, and get things done, from our positive Sagittarius, moon, in good aspect to the, love planet, Venus.

Thursday Feb 16...extra energy from our continued fire moon...helps to make Thursday a productive one!

Especially for the fire and air signs...Sagittarius, Aries, Leo, Gemini, Libra ,and Aquarius.

Friday Feb. 17, our work week closes...with our moods slowing down, as we start looking at the practical side of life. All being lucky... for the earth signs of... Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo.

But, not great for a fun weekend!!! Sunday, Feb 19, helps...as the moon swings into Aquarius...and you'll start using your ingenuity again... just in time for the beginning of our work week! So check back next, Sunday, to see... what you can...
"Just Blame It On The Stars"

All geared up for tomorrows Super bowl? The Stars Are!


With the planet Mercury, now in innovating Aquarius... lending it's self nicely towards making it an exciting, interesting, one of a kind, game!

And as I analyze the two states, involved... their charts suggest quite a battle!

Call me prejudges, being a Pats fan, but, I believe I see...
viewing the day's planetary aspects... that the "Stars" favor, The New England Patriots enough, for them to win!

And now, that we have gotten that, out of the way!

Aren't, are you wondering how the Stars look for the rest of the week?

Well, actually the big News today...astrologically speaking is...that

Yesterday on February 3, the planet Neptune moved again into, Pisces (the sign it rules). Only this time, it will not retrograde back, into Aquarius, as it did for awhile last April- through August, 4, 2011.

No this time, the planet Neptune, will be in the sky with us in Pisces, until 2025. That is just over 13 years.

This transit cycle of Neptune, in Pisces, only occurs every 160 years, and will tend to usher in an era of creativity, compassion, charity, exploration, with an emphasis on mathematics, and science.

Speaking on a more personal level...

Neptune's historic move into Pisces can foster kindness and all forms of artistic, adventurousness with a likely new awareness of what the intuitive side of life can hold for us?

Marking real progress in physic phenomena too? Which could include, more genuine proof of life after death! Wow, what a period of time these coming years can hold for us with the Planet Neptune, in the sign of Pisces, effecting us for the next 13 years!

And, Astrology.com's view of this important planetary change" ?
Has this to say..
"In the case of Neptune in Pisces, you'll experience a surge of creativity, especially in the realms of poetry and music, as well as a renewed interest in spirituality and exploration.
You'll feel a strong urge to follow your dreams and turn your idealistic visions into reality ... though you may lack the necessary energy at times. Ultimately, Neptune's greatest strength may be in softening the blow of some of the harder-edged planets currently holding sway -- this is a planet known for bringing everything into a gentler, dreamier focus".

And if that isn't enough for... "It Is In The Stars"... News?

We also have 2 other signifying astrological happenings...this new work week ahead!

The planet of love Venus, starting its transit in the sign of Aries, on Tuesday Feb .7
and the planet of learning, that makes us see the more serious side of life, Saturn... starting its retrograde direction on Wednesday Feb. 8,

Both of those, changes will be effecting us in an important way, that will effect not only this coming week, but for a few weeks!

Venus, giving us more assertive emotional energy, helping us to make progress towards our emotional romantic goals, where Saturn moving retrograde makes us look back and deal with left over unacknowledged restrictions and problems. Quite a week!

Monday Feb. 6, excitement with a Leo moon at the helm, puts sports in the spot light...of coarse, with everyone discussing the high lights, and disappointments of the Super Bowl on Sunday.

Tuesday Feb. 7, a full moon dominates...and emotions run high, guard egos!

Wed. Feb 8, and Thursday Feb. 9, we tend to be picky and analytical coming from a Virgo moon, slow down, and practice patience!

And Friday's Feb. 10, moon change, into Libra midday, can bring the unexpected!

 So try to stay neutral, and do not allow others to pull you into their problems, right into Saturday, Feb.11...

A desire to be with loved ones, will reign...
Enjoy, and show appreciation, to make your Saturday, and weekend, a good one!
Check back for more, on Sunday, to see what else,...
 "You can Just Blame It On The Stars"

Lots happening in our "Stars", that can be helpful for you to know!


Hello my Aastro-bloggers, after a few weeks of relying on the wisdom of Astrology.com, to keep YOU up to date astrologically.
 I again take up the reins.

Today, Saturday Jan. 28, 2012, we are all under a new influence for our thoughts and communication, as the planet that rules both... "Mercury", entered the enlightened, creative Air sign of Aquarius, yesterday.

This new placement for the planet Mercury, and its Aquarius influence, will be effecting us, through February 13, until it changes into the more sensitive sign, of Pisces.

Therefore today, through Feb 13, is a good time to begin to use all those unique ideas, and projects, that you have been rolling around in your head, but haven't been able to get to?

And if yours is an Air, or Fire sign, like... Aquarius, Gemini, Libra... Air,
or, Leo, Aries, Sagittarius... Fire, you might find... just the right ideas to increase your popularity, and feel new momentum, in your life again?

And what a good moon influence we have over this weekend, to encourage those new projects...helping everyone to be more motivated!

In fact, the Aries moon, that is with us through Sunday, can give us all the feeling of wanting to be productive in all sorts of ways. Could there even be a touch of an almost spring fever, like attitude?

Yes, because the Aries moon is the one, that is first in the Zodiac, and has a great enthusiastic get to it, attitude... hence, that touch of spring fever!

Also, helpful to keep in mind on Sunday Jan. 29, is a pulling aspect, called an opposition, that we will all be under, from the moon, like a tug of war, to the rigid planet Saturn, causing us to be strongly influenced by others!

Therefore, guard how you are reacting to those you are in contact, and only take what is being offered to you, if it agrees with your overall day plans...and try to stay in moderation.

Monday Jan.30, starts to wind down our first month of the new years trend, with a plus, I am happy to say!

That plus, is coming from our lucky Planet Jupiter, as it co-joins our moon on Monday, and moves past the trend that could have had you over doing it a tad, during the weekend?

If you were born under the sign of Taurus, you will begin a new cycle, and if yours is another earth sign, like Virgo, or Capricorn? Look for needed truths that are now surfacing?

Water sign too, will find Mondays influence beneficial! They are the signs of... Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces... feeling more positive as they reach for new opportunities.

Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012 ends our first month of our New Year 2012, with a thoughtful, sensitive, and intuitive day. In fact, it is "my pick of the week" to get the most accomplished. Especially if yours is an Earth or Water sign? Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

The Taurus moon, in positive aspect to the planet of love Venus, now in intuitive loving, Pisces... gives that extra edge to our sympathetic intuitive nature, making our day easier to plan, and enjoy, in all kinds of ways, for all signs!

Wednesday Feb. 1, 2012 A new month, and a nice innovating one it should be.

The moon entering the sign of Gemini, around mid day... makes for a busy one with communication, that can be helpful for all signs. With the sign of Gemini beginning its new lunar cycle. However the other Air signs, of Aquarius, and Libra, get the extra boost on Feb. 1, too.

Thursday Feb 2, continues that trend, early in the morning with a moon, Mercury  positive trine, that helps us all... to think more clearly, and act on those ideas.

Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 completes our work week...
with us feeling a little too, emotional, and sensitive? All coming from the moon in negative aspect to the planet of love, Venus.

Slow down, and do not to allow your imagination to get the best of you...especially if you were born under the signs, of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces.

Things look clearer on Saturday, Feb, 4...so check back with me then, for more on "Blame It On The Stars"

News From Astrology.com

January 20: The Sun Enters Independent Aquarius!
Although Aquarius, the sign of the Water Bearer, is known for its love of friendship, the most important values for any native of this unique sign are independence and living life in a way that's true to oneself. Each year as the Sun transits through Aquarius, it marks a time to step out of your comfort zone by creating a fresh vision for your future and breaking free from limiting circumstances. However, since Aquarius is also a sign of group interplay and teamwork, don't try to do everything yourself -- join forces with like-minded people for the best results!

If you've ever known an Aquarian, you already know that there's something refreshingly different about them. They may be unconventional or rebellious, while their ideas may be cutting-edge -- or even downright strange! When the Sun transits this independent Air sign, it's time to follow in Aquarius's footsteps and break out of your familiar routines. Leave your regular habits behind and create a fresh vision for the future
.
January 21: The Sun sextiles Uranus and squares Jupiter
As the Sun in Aquarius connects with the two most independent, freedom-loving planets in the zodiac, you're ready for something new! If you've felt stuck in a rut, today will open your eyes to a different way of looking at the world; if you've got blinders on, you'll likely feel restless and irritable. Make the most of this day by shaking off old habits and daring to do something different.

January 23: New Moon in Aquarius
This year's first new Moon in Aquarius marks the Chinese Year of the Water Dragon -- and a fresh beginning for us all. Celebrate by starting pursuit of a goal, idea, plan or project. Invest your energy into something you want to see become stronger in your life. In Aquarius, the motto is, "I've got to be me!" However, while this sign emphasizes the need to be independent, unique and free, it's also a friendship sign that stimulates the desire to be part of something bigger. This is a wonderful time to join a group with a cause that's close to your heart. Connect with others while making sure you remain true to yourself.

 Look no further for inspiration than the following quote from journalist and poet Christopher Morley: "There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way."

Our Stars this week... from Astrology.com...

 News: Astrology. com...  Our Stars now! Jan. 7, 2012

Mercury, the planet of communication, is all revved up this week as it swings from one sign to another, partnering with three planets along the way. If you weren't restless and chatty before, you definitely will be now!

Mercury fires up its engines on January 7 by forming a sextile (60 degree angle) with Saturn. Mercury is still in inspirational Sagittarius, and when mixed with practical Saturn, this combination can result in a satisfyingly productive day.

Then, on January 8, Mercury really kicks things into high gear by not only moving into ambitious Capricorn, but also pairing up with both Jupiter and Uranus. With Mercury flitting about in Capricorn, this is your chance to turn conversations into tangible plans. Don't just talk about what you wish you could do: Figure out how to make it happen! Also on January 8, Jupiter and Uranus bring good financial news, inspired ideas and an overall thrill of excitement.

The following day, January 9, sees a full Moon in emotional Cancer opposite the Capricorn Sun. You'll find yourself torn between letting your feelings be your guide and taking a firm, practical stance. But don't worry - there's a solution waiting to be discovered, and it won't be too hypersensitive or cold-heartedly opportunistic. Your challenge will be to find middle ground that best suits your needs
