Skywatch for Feb. 7 – 14

335

By Flo Higgins
Bright, chipper and intelligent, the Aquarian is the 11th sign of the Zodiac.
Aquarius is a sign also well known for its independence and unique life style. The rebellious nature of Aquarians puts them in the forefront of many causes for change.
Since Aquarius is a fixed nature, Aquarians often form opinions and then find it difficult to make a change, they naturally are not known for their mental flexibility.
Aquarians are also known also for their determination to be of service. They can be counted on to be involved in causes of all kinds from medicine to politics.
The Aquarian can develop an interest in anything new and different.
Two famous Aquarians, who had an impact on world change, were Thomas Edison and Abraham Lincoln.
People born this week: Lana Turner, Feb. 8, 1920; Mia Farrow, Feb. 9, 1945; Mark Spitz, Feb. 10, 1950; Sheryl Crow, Feb. 11, 1962; Arsenio Hall, Feb. 12, 1955; Kim Novak, Feb. 13, 1933; and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Feb. 14, 1942.
Full moon in Leo on Valentine’s Day should bring some drama into the day of love and roses. There is a divine triangle happening now involving Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus. This will be felt strongly by Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn people. So be forewarned and watch out. After all, emotions usually run high the week of the full moon and that week is now.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Here we are, the week of the full moon and, if you aren’t calm, cool and collected now, you might try for this attitude by mid-week. There could be activity around you and you will have no control over it. So be mellow and let it go. In this way you will find a new adventure.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Looking for a new cause that will turn your life around might be good use of your time right now. But remember Mercury is retrograde, so don’t make too many promises and certainly don’t sign anything. This is the time frame for looking – but don’t sign. A new friend could be part of the new deal.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) What you might consider a minor chat with a friend could turn around and you will become the bad one. This influence indicates a great need for care when you open your mouth. A new friend could give some much-needed advice. After all, no one is running away from this information. Use your wits and stay out of trouble.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) Planets are now influencing every phase of your life for good. With this in mind, look for new friends who will add to the excitement of your life. Just don’t get too tangled up with the new because old influences may return and make you doubly happy. Stay as stable as possible and let your new ideas unfold.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) It may dawn on you that your ideas and plan will add vim and vigor to your otherwise drama-packed life. Don’t let anyone stop the new role you are developing. A quick call could offer you a change in direction. It would be smart to consider that information before you make a final decision.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) You are now in a period of time when you should consider every move you make. When you speak, try saying as little as possible. In that way there will be less to catch you on and you will end up the winner. The only way you can create trouble now is if you talk too much and say more than necessary.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) You will get a little bit of a break from the tension you have had recently. This is good but by the end of the week, you will be back in the swing of things. Your new friends will start filling the holes in your social calendar. Be aware of the saying “As one door closes, another opens.” Avoid overbooking yourself.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) If you are hanging onto the discipline you learned not long ago, you will have a big success in your latest venture. Since you have some brilliant ideas, don’t let other people’s opinions sway you. After all, you have been working on this project for some time and are starting to feel the great success.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) For some freedom-loving fire signs, relationships can be a challenge but if you stay on the same path, all will do well. Don’t do anything like sign a contract until the end of February but do keep your eye on your ultimate goal. Notice as you change your attitude important people in your life also change.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) A major impact on your personal life will create some upheaval in your total life. No matter how you look at it, this is a good move for you. Start slowly and let it happen. You will be the winner both financially and spiritually. Now is the time to pull out all the stops and move on to bigger and better things.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) Expect some surprises this week. People are turning up in your life that you didn’t even know were your pals. So, let it happen, but don’t count on it as a solid foundation because after a couple of weeks, it could all disappear. No matter what it is, it’s time to stay with your old friends. Just know that this is no month for new programs of any kind.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) You may feel like you are living in wonderland because of the influence of Neptune, but keep your feet on the ground. This is a creative time in your life, but it is also a time of confusion. Pick the high road and expect a new relationship to appear. But remember, it is hard to tell what is permanent, so promise as little as possible.
