Week of 2.15.16
Feel the Buzz!
The Moon moves into kinetic Gemini at 9:35a Monday, amping up the activity level for the next couple of days. Ruled by Chief Communications Officer Mercury, the Gemini Moon is not only a great time to write/study/sell,but to work your connections and expand your influence. I’m not saying you should make like a politician and start shaking hands and kissing babies, but you get the idea. On Tuesday morning, that Gemini Moon faces off with demanding Saturn until 12:10p.Don’t get waylaid by negative thinking or being overcritical of yourself—or others. Instead, make use of Saturn’s productive side to structure, critique and polish your game plan with the extra focus and follow through Saturn provides. You can keep that bustling Gemini buzz going right up until the Wednesday at 11:37a, that’s when the Moon goes Void (until 2:23p).During the Void period, reconfirm any plans/appointments you may have made, and give yourself extra time to get where you’re going.
Moody Blues?
The Cosmic Climate changes from breezy to cranky once the Moon moves into Cancer, at 2:24p Wednesday, where it will stay through 9:36a Friday. Not every Cancer Moon makes us prickly and thin skinned, but this one is exacerbated by irritating aspects from both Venus and Mercury, which could put a damper on the rest of the day. It will be hard to avoid misunderstandings and hurt feelings, especially in relationships. Unfortunately, Thursday offers little relief. In fact, it has all the makings of a pretty crappy day. First, this overly sensitive Moon tangles with killjoy Saturn, then it squares off with manipulative Pluto and chaotic Uranus. Steer clear of family dramas, coworkers with axes to grind, or anyone likely to engage you in petty jealousies, or worse, emotional blackmail. And if it all gets to be too much, you could do what the Crab does when faced with adversity, crawl into your shell, and hide until it’s all over. It’s nice to have options. Friday’s nearly all-day Void Moon (9:36a--9:16p)could feel like a relief after this. As Voids go, this one seems rather benign and just perfect for taking care of routine tasks.

WEEKEND FORECAST
Sunny. Even if it rains. That’s because we get two full days of the Moon basking in sunshiny, fun-loving Leo. This regal sign knows a thing or two about how to relax and enjoy the finer things in life. So don’t hold back. Give yourself the royal treatment this weekend. You deserve it!
It's Pisces Time. Dream On!
Feb 19, 12:34a – March 20,12:30a
Early Friday, the Sun leaves the cool, rarified air of intellectual Aquarius to wander into the misty, emotional realm of Pisces. Under the influence of this intoxicating and quixotic sign, we experience the sublime tension between reality and fantasy aka the agony and the ecstasy. One way to release that tension is through creativity. That’s what the Piscean genius Michelangelo did. As anyone born under this sign will tell you, it’s not easy being Pisces. Possessing the vision of a god but the hands of a mortal, Pisces are forever glimpsing a paradise that is always slightly out of reach. Yet, this multifaceted artist spent his life struggling to wrest divinity from his creations. In a sonnet he sent to a lover, he wrote: “I burn, I consume myself, I cry.” So much marble, so little time. During the time of Pisces, don’t be afraid to let your reach exceed your grasp.
