Important transiting aspects for the week of February 11 – 17, 2013

Sunday, February 17:
First Quarter Moon @ 29 Taurus 20
Vesta inconjuncts Saturn

Today is the First Quarter Moon – the Sun and Moon square each other in FIXED signs – Aquarius to Taurus. The tension is between maintaining your ideals and affording your ideals. Both are necessary, but combining them is a challenge now. The Taurus Moon wants a comfy home, while the Sun at the last degree of Aquarius is feeling the excitement of freedom & independence – for yourself and the group. The only problem – who’s in charge. And how can you fund your ideals and goals? Without making money the overriding focus – not usually a concern of Aquarius. Innovative planning that incorporates your appreciation for the material world for can make it easier, and inspiring, to move forward from here.

Monday, February 11 :
Venus squares Saturn

Monday, Venus squares Saturn. No motion or slow motion – with some possible progress and results?!
It can seem like all anyone sees is baggage from the past. Is it yours, or theirs? Slo-motion can help you find some real and positive openings in the clouds. Yet, going slow can make flaws and mistakes seem more overwhelming than they are – or have to be. Problems with relationships can seem like dealbreakers. Are they? All partnerships have issues. This could be a good time to look squarely at a relationship – without flinching or getting dramatic. If you really can’t tolerate someone’s flaws, it could be time to cool down or take a break. If you can, you may have a keeper that can withstand the tests of time.
Timely, the NYTimes today has an editorial discussion about older unemployed workers – the least employed group – what should they do? Take internships? Did i start a trend?! 16 years ago;-)

Maybe it’s you. But maybe it’s not. As long as we’re pointing fingers – the good news – you can see who needs to claim the negative energy, and sidestep the (poorly aimed) interference. Instead of getting involved in an energy downgrade, clear your mind – focus on your plans, down to the intricate details. Get organized. Interlock with allies. if you get overwhelmed with details, a consultant may have an upgraded, streamlined approach.

Wednesday, February 13:
Today the Crescent Moon phase begins. Moon semisquares the Sun in the first manifesting (1/8 harmonic aspect) since the New Moon in Aquarius last week (Feb 10). The Aquarius Sun mixed with the Moon in Aries can get your fired up for your cause. Inspired and ready for action – are you doing it for the cause, or to improve your own position. You can work with the group and let everyone have their chance, or be the hero. Ironically, if you can detach (Aquarius) you can re-attach (Aries) in a way that shares your passion and strength.
(manifesting 1/8 harmonic aspects are: conjunction, semisquare, square, sesquisquare, opposition)

Thursday, February 14:
Sun semisquares Pluto
Pallas inconjuncts Saturn

Valentine’s Day begins appropriately – with a gesture of love from Moon to Venus. In Aries-Aquarius, expect fireworks and socialmedia. Venus, just relaxing from a foaming square to Saturn, is feeling lighter and freer. Will it last, does it matter if it’s this exciting?! The next aspect Venus makes is a trine to MotherGoddess Ceres (Feb 18). Venus continues to take up the cause for women’s equality and motherhood – mixing easily, effortlessly, naturally in society.

Friday, February 15:
Mars sextiles Pluto
As Mars sextiles Pluto and trines Saturn (exact tomorrow), it’s time to do anything that requires pinpoint accuracy and targeted use of energy. Competition can be friendly but intense, and very real. Faster is not the issue – to use your personal power successfully this weekend, precision timing counts.
