Take Your Time02/12/07 - 02/18/07This is quite an interesting week as the relationship planets -- lovely Venus and assertive Mars -- form a fun sextile aspect to each other on February 13. Both planets then quincunx the taskmaster, Saturn, on Valentine’s Day. Add to the mix Mercury turning retrograde in dreamy Pisces also on February 14, and it will take extra care to ensure that misunderstandings don’t occur. The new Moon in Aquarius helps join with like-minded people. Yet, when the Sun also enters Pisces on February 18, we'll all wonder what actually happened earlier in the week!
February 13: Venus sextile MarsVenus in romantic Pisces and Mars in ambitious Capricorn make a great team in this water/earth combo. Venus softens the hard edges of Mars, and Mars provides a strong shoulder to lean on. If it weren’t for the fact that they are both about to make a quincunx (150 degree) aspect tomorrow forming a major aspect pattern called a Yod, everything would remain all sweet. Grab it today while it lasts!
February 14: Venus and Mars quincunx SaturnAlthough Venus and Mars are getting along famously, they’re both held in check by the taskmaster, Saturn. Delays, restrictions and stop signs are all cautioning you to take your time and pay attention. Is somebody or something running interference? It may be as simple as the fact that you can’t find a babysitter, or your honey has a last-minute work assignment that delays your Valentine’s Day celebration. Perhaps your restaurant reservations weren’t made in time. Be flexible.
February 14: Mercury retrogrades in PiscesMercury entered empathic Pisces on February 2. You may be feeling a bit thin-skinned now as Mercury turns retrograde in this sensitive water sign. Take time alone to gather your thoughts and to tune into yourself without distractions. Have no fear -- Mercury will retrograde back into Aquarius later this month, and your logical mind will return. But for the time being, keep your emotions in check and don’t act until you know all of the facts. Take your time and don’t be impulsive. And, of course, defer decision-making until after Mercury turns direct on March 8. This aspect is renown for people making mistakes.
