Triple Water Astrology – The Critical Degree! Weekly Horoscope – Week Starting Friday, February 20, 2015

Please like my page at http://www.facebook.com/triplewaterastrology!

The community-oriented, idealistic Neptune clashes with the individualistic and competitive Mars this week, with both in their home signs. The subtle, but strong link between Jupiter’s expansion and Pluto’s transformative properties also have influence this week (think optimistic perspectives, transformative growth, expanding power). Saturn remains in Jupiter’s sign – and he is going to start retrograding back towards the Scorpio sign within a month – but for now, Saturn acts as a kind of “referee” between the hot, angry Mars in Aries and the pervasive, watery Neptune in Pisces. Mercury direct again in Aquarius, his tutor’s sign, seems to have a good vibe. Being social and using technology to communicate and solve problems is a useful counterpoise to the energies still heavily focused on the spiritual, transcending Pisces sign.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

Aries

Hitting the ground running this week can help you experience increasing returns from your various projects. This week likely feels more fiery and competitive for you. February 20 and 21 are prime days for drawing closer to goals and presenting a favorable image. Be aware of past issues in relationships possibly surfacing around February 22 and 23, in an otherwise rather favorable week for relationships for you. If you can find a way to work within a structure to collaborate with family or team members this can be a highly productive week, with the best opportunity for doing so around February 25. Just for Aries: how can you be creative with friends this week?

Taurus

Relationships have a different feel for you after February 20. Relationships have been very watery with a large dose of empathy lately, and now relationships shift more towards focusing on the self. Relationships also have a more passionate and fiery feel. Close relationships can be rewarding this week, especially if you find a way to deal with various structure or restrictions imposed on them (one possibility: teamwork!). The emotional base tends to be strong and stable for you on February 23 and 24, a nice complement with your earthy Taurus Sun. A lot of this week is also about the past for you, so taking time to reflect alone with Sun entering Pisces can be beneficial. Just for Taurus: if you’ve been chasing after something, will this be the week for you to finally obtain it?

Gemini

This week seems to have a bit of everything in it for you. The week starts off with close relationships as a plus; then creativity and imagination become influential for you; and as the week draws to a close, keen insights and Jupiter’s potential for expansion and growth are more at your disposal. February 22 is an opportunity for you to show leadership, especially in a field of work or avocation that you specialize in. With your ruling planet in Uranus’ sign, watch for occasions to use technology and quick communication and insights to spur you along this week. (This theme becomes stronger for you as the week goes on.) Using Sun in Pisces to reflect on your future direction in light of past experiences is also apropos and probably useful for you this week, with one of the best days to do so on February 25. Just for Gemini: The Jupiter-Pluto “transformative expansion” theme is especially influential for you this week.

Cancer

The Neptunian/creative/transcending vibe on February 20 quickly turns to the initiating, fiery vibe of Mars on February 21 and 22. Both ways can work for your Cancer Sun – Neptune appeals to your watery side and provides inspiration, and the cardinal/initiating quality of your Sun attunes well to that characteristic of Mars. Mars now makes a tense square to your Sun by sign, but that can also be very productive. How will you use your personal energy to greatest effect this week? Endurance and determination, on average, are greater on February 23 and 24. The Jupiter-Pluto theme of “power and abundance” also affect you most heavily on those days. February 23 is also a potentially productive day in terms of both work and spiritual insights. Just for Cancer: watch for opportunities to use past experiences to help manage complicated situations this week.

Leo

Kick starting your week by reaching a goal or increasing the amount of something your want or need is possible, but be very quick as the effect wanes by the end of the day on February 20. Likewise, your personal energy reserves are potentially higher than average at the beginning of the week, but the effect diminishes by February 22. However, Neptune’s influence becomes stronger for you as the week progresses. Envisioning what you want, imagining how to reach goals, and focusing on spirituality and merging with a collective are all powerful themes for you this week. Conflict with authority might be an issue this week, especially around February 23; but structure and internal or external discipline might be a welcome boost in harnessing Neptune’s creative power. This week is about finding a way to combine the power of your fiery Sun with Neptune’s diffuse spirituality. Just for Leo: Close relationships can help you feel more grounded this week.

Virgo

Neptune is probably more influential this week for you, given the choice between Neptune and Mars. How interesting that transiting Neptune is opposite your Sun by sign, for quite awhile now. Balancing your need for detail and tangible accomplishment with Neptune’s creativity and inspiration can be very productive for you, with transiting Sun adding to Neptune’s emphasis in the heavens this month. The height of Neptune’s influence for you this week is February 22, a good day for both creative projects and perhaps spiritual interests. Both close relationships and Jupiter’s abundance are influential for you this week. Overall a potentially productive week. Some type of enlightenment involving a project or interest has potential for attainment on February 26. Just for Virgo: if you’re caught up in an intellectual puzzle, will reiterating a process or procedure help solve it?

Libra

A shift in the heavens to more of an Aries influence, perhaps surprisingly, is potentially favorable to your sign of balance. Relationships are about the self as well as other people…so a renewed focus on what you bring to relationships starts this week. Despite a few ups and downs this week, close relationships are generally favorable for you. Your airy Sun also attains some of Mercury’s influence this week, making networking, using logic, and running routine but necessary errands strong suits for you. Flashes of insight, courtesy of Uranus, becomes a stronger theme for you by the week’s end. February 25 and 26 also have potential for greater self-expression and focus on the self, repeating the more Aries-type theme for you this week. Just for Libra: are you ready for quick changes in direction this week?

Scorpio

The “power through transformation” theme is a naturally strong theme for your Scorpio Sun. Jupiter’s abundance can be a nice boost in this potentially active week for you. Sun entering a water sign is probably also a boost. Interesting, considering that Pluto’s soldier, Mars, has just entered his home sign. So the Pisces-Aries theme of active creativity and driven inspiration can be of great benefit to you this week. February 21 might feel a bit more disruptive in various ways than usual, but February 23 and 24 might feel more stable than average. You might feel like going your own way this week, but that can have its advantages, other things equal. The theme of providing care to others, particularly in tangible ways, continues to be a theme for you this week, which meshes nicely with Sun entering Pisces. Just for Scorpio: will uncovering the right information help you succeed this week?

Sagittarius

This week is about using your unique qualities to develop your personal power. This theme has an outlet in your thought and communication at the week’s end. So finding a way to become more empowered and finding an outlet for your strengths is an interesting way to manifest Mars in a fiery sign and Sun entering one of your ruling planet’s classical dignities. Although the nice theme of support via close relationships is basically over for now, relationships in general become more influential for you by the end of the week. Generating ideas and logical discourse with other people is a salient theme for you this week. No doubt, Uranus is still influential with brilliant insights and sometimes unexpected, but never dull, events and interactions with others. Overall largely a week that harmonizes with your Sagittarian expansiveness. Just for Sagittarius: seeking help at the right moment can help make your project or idea successful.

Capricorn

Your hard-working, ambitious Sun will have some challenges this week, but this can also be a very productive week for exactly that reason. You have the opportunity to shine, given the effort. Drive, will, and initiative have a renewed emphasis for you with Mars entering his home sign, and your consciousness and identity also are in focus. Relationships both inside and outside of work are a plus. The strong Pisces emphasis, contrasting Neptune’s intangible qualities with your affinity for form, will test your resolve, but you can also find a way to be quite inspired and creative (and recall one nice benefit of Saturn-Neptune, making dreams into a material reality). Also watch for opportunities to benefit from using Mercury’s logic and networking skills at the beginning of the week. Just for Capricorn: this week, those who can lead you to better places might be available – but is cautious skepticism in order?

Aquarius

Neptune’s creative theme this week is of interest, as your ruling planet, Uranus, precedes Neptune in the solar system, just as your ruling planet’s sign precedes Pisces. Thinking ahead to ending cycles and “wrapping things up” appears as a theme for you this week and month. Also of great interest is your ruling planet conjunct Mars in Aries starting this week. This gives the impression of “just as old things are ending, new things are beginning”. A powerful dynamic theme to consider this week. Saturn gives a measure of stability for you this week in the midst of Jupiter’s direct influence…providing structure and a sense of optimism in dealing with Pluto’s changes and Neptune’s vague inclinations this week. Overall a somewhat heavy week, but look also to personal ambition and relationships for a boost if you need it. Just for Aquarius: look to relationships for assistance with solving puzzles this week.

Pisces

Sun is in early Pisces this week. Happy solar return to Pisces Suns! Your ruling planet, Neptune, conjuncts Sun exactly by the end of the week. Look for strongest expression of Neptune’s qualities in your identity this week: premonitions, merging, adapting, and visionary and creative thinking are all heightened this week. Mercury’s logic and communication are most influential for you around February 22, a useful time for complementing imaginative qualities with rigorous thought. This week is also an opportunity to display your skill and expertise in your chosen field. The end of the week is a nice time for relationships, and close relationships can be a subtle source of strength throughout the week. Pisces is about ending cycles, but the active Mars in Aries can be of benefit if you want to start new projects. Just for Pisces: do you feel a renewed passion for learning this week?
