This Week’s sky - 02/12/2024
Your Heart; a sanctuary
February 12th through 18th
You can enhance your understanding by applying the Houses these signs and Planets are falling into in your Natal Chart. I am happy to help you with figuring that out, at no cost to you— just shoot me an email!!
Mars Enters Aquarius: Beginning early in the week, this aspect brings some intensity, heat, and haste to the community spaces and bigger conversations. There may be foot in mouth syndrome. We may see some more offensive displays as certain conversations between the Leo figures (those shining light, not specifically Leos) of various sects, groups. leaders, etc.
Mars conjunct Pluto: We reach one of the reset phases; Mars in relation to Pluto. We have the conscious and acute sense of assertion and self-preservation represented by Mars. We will check-in on our goals and desires; the unconscious and conscious motivations; the long and short term of our actions; the effect that threats to our safety have had on us. Action, goals, desire— these things we describe as Martian; they are molded by instances of suffering. From being hurt by others and being egotistically convinced we are not enough. That can be simple like feeling we need to have a nice car or being told by a parent we need to become successful by a set definition. So with these two in tow those experiences which mold us may come up. Your awareness of that phenomenon can help you choose what to believe and what should motivate you.
Venus enters Aquarius: This will create a more detached social environment where social custom may start to loosen or eccentricity will come up in the persona. Aquarius environments persist social equity, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t still playing chess sometimes. New ideas, fresh takes, and the forgoing of hierarchical thinking can be met with more grace.
Venus Conjunct Pluto: The reset of Venus in relation to Pluto, we come to renewal and intention in regards to Venusian affairs under Plutonian devices…I’ll explain. This transit brings up desire and we may revisit the methods in which we try to attract what we want, rather than go after it in the Martian sense. This will bring a renewal to power dynamics within interpersonal relationships. These can be managerial hierarchies, relationship dynamics, and diplomacy in war. There may be some risqué fashion choices. Pluto will expose Venusian affairs or allow for graceful coverups; in money, in dating or marriage, in labor use. This is a good time to try to assert yourself diplomatically and with grace.
Mercury Square Uranus: This transit causes suddenness in speech. It causes nervous energy to accentuate. This may break-up routines or bring up sudden shifts in health.
Venus Conjunct Mars: This aspect will not actually be perfect until February 22nd, so the events may delay, but the energy signature will be present. Venus is more about naming and identifying our desires, Mars is more about achieving. The relation of these two functions act closely thus connecting want and action. Higher sex drives, more lust, more retail therapy. The operations of War and Diplomacy are together. Then, in the sign of Aquarius, we could see the hierarchical structures brought down thus causing some commotion between unlikely pairs.
*The date ranges reflect the Moon being a majority in the given sign during a 5am-10pm EST range.
The Moon in Aries Feb 12-14: Generally gives the emotions a sense of urgency. This will add fire to your intuition and your impulses. This can be wonderful or detrimental. Act from a place of love and inner mission, not from fear.
The Moon in Taurus Feb 14-16: The Moon’s second home. This moon better connects the emotional center with the homeostasis of the physical being, and what you are sensing. Tap into the body and see what it may need. Given this is a Fixed sign it will accentuate the Aquarius (also a fixed sign) signatures of this week.
The Moon in Gemini Feb 16-18: Adds curiosity to the emotional center. This will be a better set of dates to connect with others in light-hearted conversation that is still swift. Conversation is not too narrowly directed and can support the goal of exploring inner desire through variety.
This week will be much more intense for those with more Fixed placements. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. This week is incredibly important as there is a lot of intention setting around desire and goals. Then there are signatures making the patience and grace difficult. This is a good week to make sure you have self-control. It is not a good week to be under the influence and also texting the wrong person. Watch out for those Aries New Moon dates. It is a better week to be connected and rooted with yourself in the context of your greater environment, community, and social setting. Then do some journaling and communicating. Be attuned to the direction of your life. There will likely be shocks this week, but we are coming off the Aquarius New Moon which may likely have already offered such an event. Impulsivity can be good. Be aware of the difference between short-sighted decisions and acting on intuition; that is why I say optimize your mental clarity.
