Ready for change? The stars call for revolution. They create a high point of tension which can precipitate a change, and sparks planted this week will tend to catch fire, though they may smolder for a while first. Then the mood shift gears, takes the heat off, add stubbornness and loans endurance to shepherd those changes forward. It will help if we know what we’d like to change, and how we’d like to change it. Also, while the energy is this Sparky, enjoy it, but be cautious around explosive people and substance; think safe and powerful. Some people will just want the situation different, they take this existential discomfort and project it on any pre-existing condition. But we can throw out a lot of wisdom in that process.

This Valentine’s Day one might actually be able to get away giving a beloved computer parts or other highly practical present. With the emotional/romantic planets Venus and Mercury conjunct in industrious Capricorn for a few more days, sextile energizing Mars in Scorpio, and trine expansive Jupiter, we want to get our work on. After a slow, internal, emotional beginning of the year, and maybe a bout of the flu, we are finally ready to roll. There are less distractions and more support for our goals this week than there have been for a long time. The aspects will be more satisfying if we know what we’re here to do, rather than look for work, but even that could go well. As for those Valentine’s presents, let them be thoughtful even if they’re practical. Give something that supports their whole life goals, not just professional work. Consider paintbrushes for the amateur… Read More
