Cosmic Calendar

Welcome to February 2010! SAT FEB 6 This is a good point in the cosmic calendar to remind you that major planetary alignments don’t just disappear in a day. Therefore, yesterday’s provocative Jupiter-Saturn 150-degree link can still pack a wallop today. Revelations can pour into your consciousness early on due to the supportive, 60-degree liaison from Mercury in Capricorn to Uranus in Pisces (12:03AM PST). If you are focused and attuned around this time, put your definitive stamp on important research projects or come up with innovative additions for your website. Psychic thunderstorms can rumble into town as the Moon squares Neptune (8:12AM PST) – a potentially confusing lunar tie that also begins a void uncertainty zone lasting until 4:05PM PST when the Moon enters jovial Sagittarius. It is always best to finish old business on a high note during void lunar time-periods. Adding to the intensity and significance of the morning hours is a supportive, 60-degree association between Jupiter in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn (9:52AM PST). Tap into your spiritual willpower and mental concentration, but don’t project anger on to well-meaning friends and family members. Learn more about the secret teachings and mysteries of ancient civilizations. Once the Moon enters fiery Sagittarius (4:05PM PST), let go of destabilizing mood swings and allow your upbeat temperament to flourish. Golden opportunities can arise on the scene. Fun, games and sports are back on the docket. Add some spice to romance bonds since Uranus makes a subtle and yet still potent 30-degree embrace with Venus (6:51PM PST). Prepare for another wave of cosmic power tomorrow when the Sun and Venus energize five other celestial bodies in a solar systemic extravaganza. SUN FEB 7 This can be a day for profound realizations and great accomplishments if you combine a clear vision, a positive attitude, hard work and sprinkle in a little, extra Sagittarius good luck coming from the Moon’s presence in this ninth sign of the zodiac. The reason you can make enormous forward progress today is that the Sun and Venus forge alliances with five celestial bodies. The Sun starts the dynamism going with a supportive, 60-degree link to Ceres (4:49AM PST) – increasing your productive capacity across the board. Turn problem-solving into a refined skill as the Sun squares Pallas (10:49AM PST). Zero in on lofty ambitions and professional goals while the Sun connects with Saturn via a 135-degree tie (3:34PM PST). While square patterns and 135-degree contacts often have a shadow side, they can also be tweaked in a more favorable direction with a little extra elbow grease and perseverance. Just a few minutes after the Sun-Saturn encounter, Venus gets into the act by uniting with Chiron in Aquarius (3:47PM PST). Healing forces are back on the march. Reinforce bridges of faith and trust with dear ones and friends. Rekindle your interest in meditation, yoga, tai chi, sacred dance, affirmations and visualization exercises. This becomes magnified tonight during a Venus-Neptune union in Aquarius (9:45PM PST). The annual Venus-Neptune conjunction always has the capability to raise your spirits as a creative artist. This alliance can revive sagging romantic bonds and open the gates of social interactions. Don’t be surprised if your intuition and psychic sensitivity deepen your understanding of a significant other going through rough times. MON FEB 8 You’ve got the world on a string, but don’t lose your balance. Sagittarius Moon is still a key factor right now – adding exuberance to the day, especially during the monthly Moon-Ceres union (4:50AM PST). This alignment can also amplify your productivity quotient in arts, crafts and hobbies. Meanwhile, challenges can zap you as well during this start to a new workweek as the Sun makes a potentially frictional, 45-degree link to Pluto (3:06AM PST) while Pallas makes the same kind of contact with taskmaster Saturn (5:52AM PST). Even though 45-degree aspects have an abrasive, hard-edge quality, they can be tweaked into empowering your valiant efforts in key areas of expertise. Fortunately, four constructive lunar sextile alignments of 60-degree light up the skies throughout the day and night as the Moon in Sagittarius contacts the Sun (6:18AM PST), Chiron (6:06PM PST), Neptune (6:38PM PST) and Venus (8:59PM PST). Stop worrying about things you can’t change. Focus attention on important enterprises that seem to vibrate positively with the spirit of celestial blessings. Love vibrations increase in frequency this evening in concert with the Moon-Venus 60-degree rapport (8:59PM PST). However, this lunar link-up with beautiful Venus also begins a void limbo time-span lasting until 2:44AM PST tomorrow when the Moon enters industrious, earthy Capricorn. Don’t try to make big decisions during this 5+ hour twilight zone. TUE FEB 9 Sagittarius Moon usually equates with an enthusiastic attitude about life. The shift to Capricorn Moon each month – now occurring at 2:44AM PST this morning – represents the need to transform your ideals into realizations, particularly on the career front. Put your best foot forward in professional matters as you receive reinforcement from distant planetary neighbor Pluto – orbiting our Sun from some three billion miles away. A Moon-Pluto union in Capricorn (11:58AM PST) can help you to tap into spiritual willpower and concentrate your mental focus. However, using underhanded or manipulative methods in the workplace is a no-no. Fight against the temptation to take shortcuts to reach crucial aims. Some cheer and euphoria enter the psychic atmosphere via a supportive, 60-degree rendezvous between the Moon and Jupiter (1:19PM PST). Find time to trek a favorite nature trail if weather conditions are suitable. Learn more about the healing properties of gemstones and study up on the fluctuating values of precious metals. Follow conservative guidelines this evening as the red planet Mars nears an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to giant Jupiter (forming exactly at 1:25AM PST tomorrow). Pushing your personal agenda at all cost overnight can boomerang with nasty consequences. Protect yourself against exhaustion of body and mind by surrounding yourself with a cloak of serenity.
