Stars Above Kitsap | Third Week in February

If you have ever been caught in a tidal change, you know the power of such moments. We are in the midst of a 2,600-year shift in ages which moves backwards through the signs. We are graduating from the Age of Pisces and taking on the Age of Aquarius’ mission of innovation and inclusion.

Additionally, Aquarius is the sign that has the honor this year of presenting us with two new moons instead of only one. We get a second look at our Aquarian initiation. This second one occurs Feb. 18 at 3:37 p.m. and DO NOT BLINK! Instantly the moon moves to Pisces. Two minutes later (not long enough to make yourself a latte) the sun parades into Pisces too.

We dive from the airy intellectual heights of Aquarius into the soft, fluid feeling world of Pisces in this flash flood of change. The highest Piscean principle is eloquently stated by Chief Seattle. “All things share the same air — the beast, the tree, the man.” This is the experiential arena of connecting to our heart-brain where we are all one.

This Aquarian/Pisces theme forces us to contemplate our security as individuals and as a society to step into an invisible, multi-dimension calling us to interdependence and interconnectedness?

Whether or not we consciously feel this sea change, the times they are a changin’. Seriously.

HOROSCOPES
Feb. 18 to March 5

Aquarius, without going all preachy-preachy, get creative about how to bring your broad-mindedness into your professional life. Open your mind, flow to your heart and ahhhh, feel that tidal pull? It’s a more inclusive and caring perception you need before you can make progress.

Pisces, five planets in Pisces are on stage, but your get-up-and-go moves to Aries tomorrow. Tides muddy the water as they push and pull toward shore. Your co-workers need your unerring, fluid senses to align with the bigger picture. It may be illogical, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work!

Aries, your ruling planet, Mars, arrives home Feb. 19. Proceed with care. With Uranus, the god of sudden chaos also in Aries, pick your battles. Knee-jerk reactions are not helpful. Are you working for the people or for your ego? Maturity can help but even MacBeth made a big mistake on this one, and the witches warned him! Contemplate and feel it in your gut.

Taurus, your ruler, Venus, runs after Mars into Aries on Feb. 21. This action takes place in your blind spot along with that lightning god, Uranus. You’ll be walking the fine line between imagination and the edgy ego when all you wanted was a down-to-earth action plan. Count to 10, then to a hundred. Breath and trust the backroom action. It’s coming …

Gemini, TGMID (short for “Thank God, Mercury is Direct”) and two personal planets in Aries, you are cleared for takeoff. Any trip, even a short one, can bring clarity. Your gift for logic taps into the ebb and flow of public needs. Fill those needs and watch your endeavors prosper.

Cancer, find some quiet for the arrival of this new moon. You could experience the allness, the oneness. When God speaks, take good notes because then it’s back to chopping wood and carrying water — but, oh, baby, it’s a whole new world. Seriously, make a date with this new moon.

Leo, you little firebaby. With five planets in watery Pisces on Feb. 17-18, you are out of your element. Water extinguishes fire. Or could it be like the quickening, a spark of life in the amniotic waters. Soften and be still — a deep healing and a rebirth is underway.

Virgo, Mercury direct could bring new colleagues, pets or protocols — whatever — the motion is forward. Murky feelings about partners or a close friend could be kicked up. Bide your time and hone your focus. What does the marriage need? A trip? Alone or together? Take off after Feb. 18.

Libra, your ruler, soft, gentle Venus is off to Aries-Land where the “I” is in opposition to the “thou” and Mr. Mars in Aries will not leave it alone. You will serve the needs of your near and dear this month. A friend could be edging into a fling. Boundaries in dividing work duties are leaky.

Scorpio, Mars in Aries is pointed, active, revolutionary, and personal — you totally get Aries. This energy shows up at work where teamwork goes out the window, but you look good to the boss. Interoffice politics work for you. The personal areas of your chart are bubbling with activity

Sagittarius, Saturn and your ruling planet, Jupiter retrograde, tone down your natural active energy. There is so much going on deep in your personal life. Well, observation and experience trump being in your head. Buckle down and pick your words carefully.

Capricorn, ambition is best used when used for the betterment of all. Upgrade your reading, talking and learning to be as spiritual a leader as you are an organizational one. This is the energy signature of Martin Luther King Jr. Feel what is right and just, and do that. You are getting an overhaul in how to use personal power to empower the group.

Stars Above Kitsap | First Week in February

Feeling fried? The electrical craziness of the Aquarian New Moon (Jan 20) settles down with Mercury retrograde giving us a chance to figure out where in the world we are shooting off to. To survive the upheaval in our society, everyone must define a personal mission statement. This process won't happen overnight - it's a 2.5 year lesson - but we know deep inside we can't keep throwing everything at the wall and getting stuck with what sticks!

The gregarious Full moon in Leo (Feb 3, 3:08 PM) teams up with expansive Jupiter, also, retrograde and lined up with slow moving Saturn also reining in the party. The question keeps being where are we going so fast, do we really want to go there, and heck, is it fun?

Pisces energy softens intensity, as Mars, God of war, waltzs with his Goddess of love, Venus. We need this break, people, so plan a few fun, mindless dates. Valentine's at the General Store Cafe in Pt. Gamble? Quiet time in front of a slot machine at Point No Point or Clearwater Casino? An art or nature walk? Find your zen somehow!

Horoscopes

From Feb 3 to Feb 18

Aquarius, you may or may not be the problem in the your larger circle of friends. Stay true to yourself as you wait it out. A close fliend could hold the mirror for you. Meanwhile, proceed cautionsly with organizational plans.

Pisces, you are oh, so (too) willing to give yourselve up for the greater good but, my little angel, your body must be taken care of. However you do that, make it fun. Maybe a spa date at the Longworth Studio with your bestie could perk you up and leave you looking good.

Aries, your body has been a transforming station for electrical energy. Seriously, touching others can heal them. Remember not everything can be figured out – let information come to you through dreams, repetitive images, song lyrics or time with your Goddess of love.

Taurus, work is busy, busy and as hard to organize right now as a basket of kittens. Home looks oh, so far away and the God and Goddess energy is a direct hit to your heart. Take a gentle, wandering, unfocused stroll with your sweetie or dog. Nature is always a balm for you.

Gemini, your friend Mercury retrograde slows you down enough to actually ask what the heck am I doing? You seriously need a mission statement...not too little, and not too big, but just right so you can stick to it and not get bored. Logic is your strong suit but gentle dreams saturate the air. They could be creating confusion at work. All is information you can use to find your north star.

Cancer, in a real sense, any full moon is your full moon because the moon is your ruler. This one has you pondering resources, time, money, energy, and your body on two levels: how you use those for yourself AND in close partnerships. You give a lot, Ms. Moon, but you also soak up a lot from others. Taking care of your body as a practise is a must for you.

Leo, this is your full moon. Yahoo! Cozied up to Jupiter and wired to Aquarius, you are the totally ready for a party with brilliant, weird and wired friends and lovers. You may even enjoy a moment in the spotlight - dancing on the table tops or dazzling others with your wisdom. Your personal statement is well on its way and others seek your guidance.

Virgo is another friend of Mercury retrograde. Getting the nitty-gritty of life just right takes real perception and observation. Watch yourself as though a little drone is following you taking notes. You have a guardian angel willing to help. Messages await in dreams and contemplation.

Libra, Aquarius is such a kick with the snap, crackle, pop of creativity and recreation. Large groups and wacky friends - circulate to get the most out of this moon. Venus and Mars may be showing you exactly where you've lost your focus in your hands-on, get the work done routines. Ahhhh, there it is!

Scorpio, technology is fun - when it works. The electricity at your base could be burning out systems. What tools do you really need and which are toys not worth your time? The Mars/Venus dance shows up in your area of fun and romance. Let someone take you down a soft, fuzzy road. It's not natural for you but you need the break!

Sagittarius, we can only hope our Seahawks quarterback, Russell Wilson, has as fortunate and visible a full moon as you are up for. While hanging out in the more personal arenas of your life, you're pondering your pole star. What is a mission statement that includes heart and tenderness and recognizes that everyone needs recognition?

Capricorn, power behind the scenes must work for individual power – then a culture has true justice and power. Heavy, man. Keep the faith, speak with compassion about the 1% and lean into your mission. You aren't alone - look behind you where many join the grass-roots revolution. OMG, you are a leader!
