Life has plenty of variables. Wouldn’t it be radical if the weekend was a knowable thing? Well hold on, because it just got a lot more knowable-able. We’re psyched to help you cue up and dial in your Saturday and Sunday via these new weekday/weekend horoscopes from Olivia Kim’s favorite astrologers, the AstroTwins.
GENERAL OVERVIEW:
Make a wish! This Wednesday, February 18, brings a new moon in idealistic Aquarius, the sign of hopes and dreams. This is a special new moon because it is the second in a row to land in the Water Bearer’s domain. The first was on January 20, so this one is a bit like a sequel or second act. And thank goodness for that! On January 21, the day after the first Aquarius new moon, Mercury turned retrograde for three weeks. This short-circuited many of our lunar launches in January, but it didn’t ground them for good. Try, try again this Wednesday and re-set that BIG intention. Since Aquarius rules community, this is an ideal week to connect to our tribes or to seek kindred spirits. There’s no need to go it alone; in fact, finding collaborators could be the key to success. Tap into technology, too — also Aquarius’ jurisdiction. There’s an app for everything nowadays, so why not use those lifehacks to make our missions run smoothly?
On Wednesday, the Sun changes signs, leaving Aquarius and moving on to Pisces until March 20. The world is a more soulful and compassionate place when the dreamy Fish rules the skies this time each year. Pisces energy can be boundless in so many ways — and not all for the better. This sign also governs addiction and codependence, reminding us that there really CAN be too much of a good thing. Fascinatingly, the Catholic period of lent always falls during Pisces season (it begins this Wednesday). The idea of making a sacrifice in order to achieve something greater is a higher expression of Pisces energy. Whatever your spiritual beliefs, it would be wiser to turn away from those vices now — and even give one up — instead of tumbling down the tempting rabbit hole. Escape into the arts instead! Music, film and dance are all the domain of Pisces.
Mars and Venus will swap signs this week too, both heading into fiery, passionate Aries. They’ve been traveling together in Pisces all month bringing out the hopeless romantics in us all. But on February 19, Mars moves to the Ram’s realm until March 31. Venus follows suit on the 20th, getting busy in Aries until March 17. Uh, is it getting hot in here? Spring fever strikes a month ahead of time in 2015. This passionate planetary pairing will make us all a lot friskier than we’ve been for a while — especially this weekend, when the two planets meet at the same degree of Aries. Scorching! This erotic resuscitation can make us restless and a little reckless too. Staying committed won’t be the easiest — not if there isn’t adequate adventure involved. Couples would be wise to break out of the “lather, rinse, repeat” bubble. Variety — and physical activity — is the most essential spice to keep in the arsenal. Viva la difference!
Wishful thinking? Yes please. This week is all about embracing the fanciful, whimsical and downright surreal. It begins on Wednesday, February 18, with the new moon in Aquarius and your eleventh house of hopes and dreams. This is a special one because it’s the second consecutive new moon to fall in Aquarius — the first was on January 20. Double tap that date on your calendar. What were you up to a month ago, and more importantly, with whom? Projects you began then could get a second wind, especially if they involve collaborating with your community on a make-the-world-better mission. The eleventh house also rules technology. If Mercury retrograde stalled your digital initiatives, circle Wednesday’s new moon as the day for geeking out. Line up the blog posts, call the developers, or take a humpday trip to the Microsoft or Apple store to upgrade your devices. Above all, set aside time on Wednesday to make a six-month wish list. This is different than your New Year’s resolution roster. Instead of making goals, give yourself over to your imagination. What would make your soul sing? Who would you like to meet before the summer? Even if you have no idea how you’ll manifest these desires, the very act of writing them down sends a clarion’s call to the universe. Post your list somewhere visible like your bedroom wall or mirror. By the time the full moon in Aquarius rolls around this July 31, you could see at least a few of those wishes come true.
On Wednesday, February 18, the Sun slips into Pisces and your twelfth house of healing and release. This month-long solar cycle is great for tying up loose ends and getting closure on situations that you want to leave behind before your birthday. But while this is normally when you fly under the radar — or slip off to a remote, off-the-grid surf town — there won’t be any such escaping in 2015. That’s because your ruling planet Mars will cruise into Aries the very next day, on Thursday, February 19, firing up your competitive, can-do spirit. Mars hasn’t been in Aries since April 2013, so you definitely want to seize this moment to get your personal initiatives off the ground. You’ll have to be flexible with yourself while the Sun is in Pisces through March 20. Go hard with your efforts during the day, then make it your job to relax at night. Book massages (especially reflexology, as Pisces rules the feet), acupuncture and other therapeutic treatments to ensure that self-care doesn’t fly out the window while you furiously pursue your goals. Hosting Mars in your sign can get you SO fired up that you blow out your circuits. And with the Sun in boundary-challenged Pisces for four of Mars’ six-week tour through your sign, you might take on more than you can handle alone.
You’ll host your cosmic guardian until March 31, which will certainly feel a bit schizo while the Sun is in dreamy Pisces until March 20.
But wait…there’s more! On Friday, February 20, love planet Venus beams into Aries too, where she will sail alongside her companion Mars until March 17. Your powers of attraction are off the charts now. The last time these two planets combined forces in your sign was April 2013. Romantically speaking, you’ll get quite the pre-spring awakening after Friday. Thou givest fever! Shake off the past and let your adventurous, experimental nature steer the Love Boat. If you’re single, you may revel in that status for a few weeks. Coupled Rams will require more “me time” to pursue your personal interests and even get your name on the marquis. Attention comes from all directions now — from eager suitors to the media. Don’t be afraid to start a buzz on your own behalf.
Happy New Year — to the third power, that is. So far, 2015 has been pushing you hard to adopt new attitudes, stretch outside your comfort zone and embrace the power of personal responsibility. This week is no exception. On Wednesday, February 18, a second new moon in Aquarius electrifies the heavens. The first one was just a month ago, on January 20. Consider this new moon a sequel. Events and initiatives that began January 20 could get a second wind. If your personal feed of ideas and attitudes needs refreshing (yes, already), this new moon will help — especially if Mercury’s retrograde through your sign from January 21 to February 11 threw you off course. Pick up the reins on a stalled project or start promotion the ones you’ve completed. You might even work with a publicist or branding expert to polish up your product and get the greatest audience reach. Have you been pointing fingers or playing the blame game? As frustrating as people can be, this new moon reminds you that the only person you can truly change is yourself.
Also on Wednesday, sweep up the cake crumbs and pour out the champers. The Sun moves on to Pisces until March 20 drawing your 2015 birthday season to a close. During this pragmatic solar phase, you’ll want to roll up your sleeves and get down to brass tacks. How can you simplify the overly complex aspects of your life? Minimalism doesn’t have to be boring, Aquarius. “In white, you can hide nothing,” noted Chanel overlord Karl Lagerfeld. Create a few more blank spaces on your walls and in your calendar. That way, everything from the art you hang to the activities you spend time on will truly feel meaningful. Keep your mind on your money too. If you need to go on a four-week austerity plan, you’ll be ready for the challenge. Revamp your budget and keep an eye on the income column, too, since you’re in a great place to land new clients or improve your job situation now.
Also this week, both Mars and Venus will change signs, heading into Aries and your flirty, capricious third house. Your romantic forecast brightens considerably under this fun-loving shift — and your sense of humor returns, too. Have you ever thought of writing a blog to catalog all your ridiculous dating experiences? With Mars and Venus here you could bang out a few laugh-riot-inducing posts. If nothing else, you’ll be keen to get back out on the playing field and even give a little right-swiping a try. Someone from the friend zone could show signs of promise too. Who knew? If you’re in a relationship, start lining up the culture calendar. This expression will ring true now: the couple that plays together, stays together. Mars will hold court in Aries until March 31, and Venus will linger in Aries until March 17. You have three-and-a-half weeks to harness their exciting conjunction. (The last time they paired up in Aries was in March-April 2013.) Aries also governs your communication sector. Have you had a hard time getting your point across to your boo? In between nights at the ballet, wine tastings, and road trips, sneak in some couple’s therapy or even a workshop meant to foster synergies between you. There’s always more to learn and discover about the one you adore.
Move over, Anastasia Steele. With Wednesday’s new moon in Aquarius your eighth house of seduction, this week has “fifty shades” written all over it. This is an especially potent new moon as it’s the second consecutive one to fall in Aquarius — the first was on January 20. So this week’s amorous developments may simply be a sequel to what already got started last month. While you could find yourself awash in passionate feelings, you’re not looking for some one-hit wonder (or even a two-hit wonder). This new moon is activating your urge to merge, in a happily-ever-after kind of way. You want to share your sexy life-force energy with someone who also brings a measure of security now. Is that a tall order to ask for? Sure, but certainly not an impossible one. Keep your dance card open for the crème-de-la-crème, Cancer. And no lying around with your cat waiting for the right right-swipe. Tap into your innate sexiness by moving your body more often. Hit the weekly spin, dance, and cardio classes. Dress in clothes that make you feel gorgeous and keep your aura open in case a sultry stranger wants to step up and say hi. Coupled Crabs could be on the precipice of a big decision, like getting engaged, buying property, or otherwise joining resources. Have that “what’s next for us?” talk midweek to make sure you’re actually on the same page. Of course, given this new moon’s placement, you might enjoy that talk most while lying together in bed.
Your independent spirit will be activated this week too — as well as your enterprising one. Also on Wednesday, the Sun heads into Pisces and your broad-minded ninth house until March 20. The world is most definitely your oyster now Cancer, so amble out of your shell and go explore a new part of it. Traveling will be rich over the coming four weeks, especially if your destination requires a passport. Close to home, you’ll feel the click with people from different cultures and walks of life. Who says you have a type? The universe might just surprise you. This is a fabulous time to take a workshop, class or to develop a business venture. In general, you’ll just feel more open to exploring possibilities — and that very quality can push you through fortune’s doors.
On Thursday, go-getter Mars blasts into Aries and your ambitious tenth house until March 31. This six-week cycle could bring MAJOR developments for your career, ones that may involve a promotion, executive title, or greater leadership. Working with men or in a competitive environment will be right up your alley too — quite a departure from your sign’s touchy-feely or maternal nature. But you are a Cardinal sign and an Alpha at heart. Seize the moment and let that desire to grab the brass ring take hold. If you’re worried you might turn cutthroat, fear not. Diplomatic Venus joins Mars in Aries from Friday the 20th until March 17. She’ll soften out the rough edges in your communication style and help you wow the bigwigs. This Mars-Venus union could also stir up a coworker crush. If you’re single, you might even meet someone through a business event. Coupled? Consider joining forces with your partner on a professional project. If that’s not in the cards, you might just sit down for some romantic goalsetting. What would the two of you like to achieve and enjoy before the summer kicks in, both as a couple AND as individuals? Get on the same page so you can cheer each other on.
Make it rain, Capricorn! Your money mojo gets a cosmic boost from this Wednesday’s new moon in Aquarius and your second house of finances. This is the second consecutive new moon to land in Aquarius — the first was on January 20. Swipe back a month in your calendar: projects and initiatives you began then could start to truly pay off now. If you’ve been waiting for news about a job or word from a client, pick up the phone on (or after) Wednesday and check in. Earlier in the week, get Zen about it and try releasing your attachment to the outcome. Although you want it (you really, REALLY want it), you may be focusing on this opportunity to the detriment of seeing others. Just to take off the edge, you might do some outreach to other prospects. Be abundant! Work that you begin this week could take until the corresponding full moon on July 31 to REALLY pay off. Be patient with the process while keeping your eyes on the prize.
Also, stay open to the power of partnership! Also on Wednesday, the Sun dances into Pisces and your third house of cooperation and communication until March 20. A friend, coworker, sibling, or neighbor could show up as your perfect ally in a joint venture. No need to hire an engraver to make a plaque for your dynamic duo just yet. Test the waters on a short-term project and you’ll see if a sophomore effort makes sense. The social butterfly in you erupts out of the cocoon. Let the networking spree commence! The old, “it’s all about who you know” maxim rings true. Tap your social network for contacts and work the barter system to afford things that would otherwise be out of reach. This is a stellar time to dive into a writing project, take a road trip, or a monthlong workshop. The local scene may be richer with resources than you realize. If not, why not get the party started yourself? You could call your coolest neighbors out of the woodwork by publicizing an event before March 20.
As for your love life, who wants to play house? Sexy Mars and Venus slip into Aries and your domestic sector this week, amplifying your nesting instincts. Mars will tour Aries from Thursday until March 31, while Venus rolls through the Ram’s realm from Friday until March 17. Wrap yourself in that two-person Snuggie for the next two weeks and hang the Do Not Disturb sign. Cooking dinner, cuddling on the couch, even redecorating the bedroom will be pure bliss. Talks could turn to cohabitation for newly coupled Capricorns — or you might get a drawer of your own at your honey’s apartment. You’ll need more security and comfort from your sweetie, but be careful not to turn your evening talks into therapy sessions. This could make the mood a bit too somber in your relationship. If you have a family together, spending time as a unit can make your heart swell with joy. Play “Meet The Parents” before March 17 if you want to get the stamp of approval with ease. Single? The boy-or girl-next-door type could make you swoon. Who says nice guys finish last? That doesn’t have to be the case. Let your girls fix you up — your mom could even play matchmaker! They might just know you better than you know yourself.
The world is your oyster, Gemini, so where shall you search for your next pearl? Wednesday’s new moon in Aquarius and your jetsetting ninth house awakens your wanderlust big time. This is the second consecutive new moon to land in Aquarius — the first was on January 20 — so this isn’t the first exploratory stirring you’ve felt in 2015. You might just be picking up the reins on a travel plan that got stalled while Mercury was retrograde from January 21 – February 11. But even if this is your first time surfing the travel blogs all winter, follow that get-up-and-go urge. A change of scenery can reboot your optimism and joie de vivre — bonus points if a plane ride and even a passport are required. And, uh, move over Plato, Descartes and Socrates: you’re a total philosopher king or queen under this lunar spell! If you can’t literally skip town, travel in the figurative sense by exploring new schools of thought or signing up for a self-development workshop. Entrepreneurial Gems will get a lucky boost from this new moon. Develop away and you might have a successful product on the market (even an informational product like a video class or book) by the corresponding full moon on July 31.
If the Aquarius new moon doesn’t awaken your enterprising nature, the Sun’s transit this same day surely will. The Sun heads into Pisces, and your ambitious tenth house, until March 20 and turns on that #cantstopwontstop spark. Make your career a primary focus — this is your time to get ahead and really shine! If you’re in the market for a new gig, set up the power lunches, call the recruiters and tap your social network for leads. You could be kicking up your oxfords on that executive desk before the equinox, or lapping up some public recognition for your hard work. Men will be the star players of this solar-powered month, so let’s hear it for the boys! Nurture your relationships with the important dudes in your life, be it a romance or a bromance that you’re after. (You know you love being “one of the boys.”) A father figure could also play a primary role in your life over the coming four weeks. Call your dad and even set up a time to visit him before March 20.
How about a little levity for your love life, Gemini? Mars and Venus both switch signs this week, heading into Aries and your open-minded, offbeat eleventh house. Mars will trek through Aries from Thursday until March 31 while Venus has a shorter flight, from Friday until March 17. The next three weeks could be a whole lot of fun for you — and might even include a rotating cast! Being pinned down won’t exactly be your top desire now. You might be too busy Tinder-ing or meeting people while you’re out socializing. The line between love and friendship could blur a bit too, and you won’t have the best impulse control with these planets in frisky, impulsive Aries. If you’re in a relationship, break out of the routine rut and go share some adventures. Socializing as a couple allows you to see each other in your best lights too. You might even co-host a party over the coming three weeks to merge your social circles and create a fun way to collaborate.
Did Cupid’s arrows land a little to the left of your love zone on Valentine’s Day? Don’t swear off romance, Leo, or get cynical about the whole relationship game. This Wednesday, February 18, a new moon in Aquarius energizes your seventh house of partnerships, bringing reason to be hopeful once again. This happens to be the second consecutive new moon to land in Aquarius in 2015 — the first was on January 20. Amorous developments that began a month ago (but maybe stalled while Mercury was retrograde from January 21 to February 11) could pick up where they left off. If you can’t get a certain someone off your mind, it wouldn’t hurt to reach out on Wednesday — if for no other reason than to clear the air and give you the closure you need to move on. If a second chance isn’t in the cards, start fresh, with a new lineup of okcupid dates. Coupled Leos could feel a fresh wave of excitement about your relationships, too. Collaborating with your sweetie on a project or plan can bring you closer now. Circle July 31 — the date of the corresponding full moon in Leo — to debut your joint efforts. It’s never too late to get the tingles, even if they don’t come as spontaneously as they did back in the early days. Mating In Captivity author Esther Perel’s TED talk on sustaining desire in a long-term relationship could bring some illuminating insights.
Your urge to merge is further intensified on this day as the Sun slips into Pisces and your intimate, seductive eighth house. While you’ll crave more permanent bonding, you’ll need privacy in equal measure. Make sure you have sufficient “me time” between now and March 20 — this will rev up your mojo. While you’re alone, you could work obsessively on a passion project like your poetry, music or art. This solar-powered month could bring some serious sexytime too. If you’re attracted to the brooding and mysterious types, don’t be surprised. Chemistry does not require words for you now, Leo — quite the contrary. You’d rather get lost in the seductive silence, wondering, longing, and letting the passion build. Your emotions could be rather intense, however, so monitor them carefully so you don’t overwhelm anyone with your fervor or scare them off by being too possessive. Long-term finances also fall under the eighth house’s domain. Take the next four weeks to think outside the 9-5 grind. How can you invest your funds for greater security? Ideas for passive income streams would be worth exploring, and you could even make a significant chunk of change from a property sale or your tax return. Someone may want to put dollars behind your dreams too. Work up that business plan!
There IS some lighter news for your love life too. On Thursday, lusty Mars moves into Aries and your free-spirited ninth house until March 31, followed by Venus, who will tour Aries from Friday until March 17. Although the Pisces Sun can bring out the obsessive romantic in you, Mars and Venus will help you have a sense of humor about the whole thing. At times, you may feel downright schizo this week. Half of you wants to dive into the emotion ocean, while the other half would rather play the field. With both Mars and Venus in Aries, there couldn’t be a better time to take an adventurous couple’s vacation — surfing in Nicaragua, or perhaps skiing Whistler? A cross-cultural attraction could heat up too. Don’t rule out a long-distance relationship. Your midwinter travels could activate your love jones, giving you a good excuse to be totally impractical and go back to the Bahamas twice between now and mid-March. This Mars-Venus cycle will be incredible for Leo entrepreneurs, too. Your business could grow by leaps and bounds with charming Venus lending creativity and dealmaking skills. Got a book you want to write, a class you want to take? Publishing and education are blessed by Mars and Venus, so use their combined powers to pursue your dreams. Without risk, there can be no reward.
“A Return To Love” could be the theme of this week for you, Libra. If you’ve been cursing Cupid since Valentine’s Day — or wishing you could have a second round of those fireworks — you’ll be relieved to know that your romantic forecast continues to brighten, regardless of how last week’s Hallmark holiday went down. Wednesday, February 18, will bring the first clear hit. That day, the new moon in Aquarius rocks your fifth house of passion, glamour and fame. Bonus! This is the second consecutive new moon to fall in Aquarius (the first was January 20), so you may simply be picking up where you left off a month ago — or getting the sequel in motion. Warning: this new moon could activate some drama, especially if you’ve been rationalizing your feelings away (a Libra pitfall). The wisdom of your heart will boom louder than the bass in a rapper’s tricked out Escalade. Don’t ignore your desires, but don’t go diva on anyone either. It’s your responsibility to ask for what you need in a relationship — and discussions like these always go better when blame, irritation and assumptions are NOT involved. This week, your dreams could be quite idealistic, and might even include a rush of baby fever. Get ready for your close-up! A six-month cycle of public recognition opens up with this new moon. Rebrand yourself with a few wardrobe or style upgrades, update your online profiles, get some creative headshots taken (anywhere BUT the studio will do). Efforts you make to market yourself or get your work into the world could pay off big-time by the corresponding full moon this July 31.
Mars and Venus — the cosmic couple — are also switching signs this week, and you are among their luckiest targets. Both planets are heading into Aries and your seventh house of relationships, where they’ll sail alongside each other for three weeks. Mars does Aries from Thursday until March 31, while your celestial ruler Venus takes a shorter tour, from Friday until March 17. Their combined powers could get those wedding bells chiming in your mind, or hey, even in reality. With fiery, impulsive Aries energy afoot, you could do something very un-Libra-like and rush headlong into a relationship, or insist upon a faster pace. The heart wants what it wants. And though you like to linger in the honeymoon phase longer than most, if you wind up at the Justice of the Peace in the coming three weeks (or insisting upon “exclusivity or bust”) we wouldn’t be shocked. Are you truly ready to find The One? You might run through this checklist, just to be on the safe side: http://ift.tt/1Jzb2lu Business partnerships will also be blessed by the Mars-Venus merger. If you’ve hit a plateau, look for people who can pick up where you leave off. Success doesn’t hinge upon doing everything yourself, after all.
In between dates at the Champagne room, walks through Van Cleef and Arpels, and thumbing through baby books, make time for an efficiency mission. The Sun decamps to Pisces and your orderly sixth house from February 18 until March 20. This solar reality check can keep your feet on the ground while your head is in the clouds — phew. Rather than scattering your energy in a million directions, revamp your schedule so that you are grouping similar tasks together. For example, block out times for returning calls and emails, then shut off your ringer when handling more focused missions like writing or research. You’ll get by with a little help from your friends, but you can’t lean on them for everything. It may be time to pay for a part-time assistant, babysitter, or another service worker who can lift some weight off of your shoulders. Speaking of weights, pull those handheld ones out of your closet. Spring training begins early for you, Libra, and taking stellar care of your body is a must for the next four weeks — especially since work will get busier than you expect.
Just. Let. Go. Easier said than done for you, sentimental Pisces, we know, we know. But this week’s starmap is sounding the call for change. It begins on Wednesday, with a new moon in Aquarius and your twelfth house of healing. Surrender and release. This is the second consecutive new moon to fall in Aquarius, so it’s pretty darn special. You may have already felt the push to transform your life this past January 21, the date of Aquarius-new-moon-numero-uno. But with the Sun also in your twelfth house and Mercury retrograde, your grand plans may have gotten stalled. This week’s lunar sequel delivers a vote of confidence and a burst of inspiration to make that change. You can do this, Pisces! As tough as it is to break free from struggle, the universe has more peaceful plans in store for you. Gently begin the goodbye process. By the time the corresponding full moon in Aquarius lights up the skies on July 31, you’ll be free as a bird.
Liberation could come sooner than the summer though. (As in…how about now?) On Thursday, the Sun blazes into Pisces for a month, officially kickstarting your birthday season. Your independent side comes back with a vengeance, and you’ll be eager to tackle new projects — especially solo ventures. Over the coming four weeks, you have planetary permission to be more “self-focused.” We didn’t say self-ISH, Pisces. But how about treating yourself with the same care and grace that you offer to the rest of the world. Create some whitespace in your schedule for unstructured “me time.” Those moments of relaxation and day-dreamtime are always when your best ideas strike. If a class or workshop calls your name, dive in. Birthday season is always ideal for makeovers and rebranding. Do you want to upgrade your wardrobe, your business cards, or your social media profiles? Bring in the pros for some guidance here. Investing in your self-development and image could spell money in the bank.
Your appetite for luxury and security grows this week too. On Wednesday, motivator Mars leaves Pisces and moves on to Aries and your second house of planning and financial stability. Hosting the red planet since January 12 has no doubt amplified your ambitions. But which of these are REALLY doable? Pop on the project manager’s fedora and map out a tangible plan. Once you see what budgets, timelines and people-power will be required, you may realize that your dream is more doable than you thought. Of course, you might also see the need to scale back for your Version 1.0. Deal with the facts, not fictional hopes, and you could have something impressive to show for it during this Mars phase, which lasts until March 31.
On Friday, Venus will join Mars in Aries, too — she’s been in your sign since January 27, making it high season for romance. With Venus in Aries, you’ll enjoy a more grounded groove. With the planet of love ambling alongside her companion Mars through this slow-and-steady part of your chart until March 17, you could feel downright old-fashioned at times. But that doesn’t mean there won’t be plenty of fire and spice! Allow yourself to enjoy the delicious courtship rituals and getting-to-know-you process. Coupled Pisces should indulge in more downtime together, preparing gourmet dinners, touring vineyard cellars (and sampling the grapes, naturally), booking side-by-side massages. Venus in your second house loves the finer things in life. Warning: your lust for those “objet d’art” (hang-able and wearable) could reach a fever pitch. Impulsive Mars will not make it easy to control the retail therapy splurges either. Don’t fight the current by tightening your belt beyond reason. Start a moodboard of looks on Pinterest and set up a special savings account for your haute birthday present. Charging it will dull your enjoyment so wait until you have the funds for this posh treat, then enjoy guilt-free.
Who is the reigning monarch amongst the social butterflies? This week, you’re a clear-cut candidate for the crown. On Wednesday, February 18, the new moon in Aquarius electrifies your third house of friendship, communication and cooperation. This is a rare sequel to the first Aquarius moon of 2015, which took place this past January 20. Projects and friendships that began four weeks ago will get a second wind now. With this double-shot of expressive energy afoot, your popularity could rise even further. But how about curating your inner circle with more care? What kind of friendships will make YOUR soul sing, Sagittarius? Where could you use a few more allies, in the name of making progress? Branch out socially and explore new scenes — or get more involved with a hobby or crew with whom you dabbled since last month. By the corresponding full moon on July 31, you might even be the leader of the pack. A stalled partnership or contract negotiation could pick up again and be signed, sealed and delivered before the week is through. If Mercury’s retrograde from January 21 to February 11 brought a few old pals back into the picture, this new moon helps you figure out the proper place for them in your ever-evolving life.
Also this week, grab your oven mitts AND your little black dress! Some wild changes are afoot when the Sun swoops into private Pisces from Wednesday until March 20 AND Mars heads into passionate, flamboyant Aries the very next day until March 31. Identity crisis, anyone? Half of you will want to retreat into your cozy sanctuary to hide out and play house. The other part of you would rather be sashaying down the red carpet with some gorgeous arm candy in tow. (The party of bag and bracelets…or the boyfriend/girlfriend though?) Home and family matters will need tending to, no matter how busy you are in the limelight. A female relative may be going through a big change, requiring more care and attention from you over the coming month. Zhushing Chateau Sagittarius to party-appropriate perfection could also consume you. It’s important that you have a place to entertain your 101 friends and Pisces-time is always when you find the energy to paint, decorate and feng shui.
Mars’s tour of Aries will bring major momentum for your romantic life — and there’s more to report! On Friday the 20th, his companion Venus will join him in Aries until March 17, doubling the download of loving feelings. The last time Mars visited Aries was in March and April of 2013 — and Venus strolled alongside him then too. Enjoy this early rush of spring fever. Glamorous dress-up dates, mind-blowing makeout sessions and Instagram-worthy memories are a-coming your way. There could even be a proposal or pregnancy in the works before March is through. But unlike some outmoded fairy tale figure, you are not waiting for the white steed to gallop to your castle gates. With Mars and Venus in Aries, take the lead in love. While Mars can make you come on a bit strong, Venus will lend plenty of charm to make up for it. You could get away with murder now, Sagittarius — of course, that doesn’t mean you should. (Oh, behave!) This planetary pair could push you onto the stage to perform, present, or otherwise wow the crowds. Give it your all, Archer. Better you should apologize for being too much than hold yourself back and live in regret!
Shake out that Welcome mat and place it on your doorstep! With a new moon in Aquarius and your domestic fourth house this Wednesday, February 18, Chateau Scorpio is the hub of the action again. It’s not unusual for you to crave cozy, intimate connections with people. Family will be a big focus of your week — especially since this is the second new moon in a row to land in Aquarius. The first was on January 20, so double-tap that date on your calendar. Did you get back in contact with a relative then or begin a home-improvement mission? Those initiatives may have stalled while Mercury was retrograde from January 21 to February 11, but you can pick up the baton again. Or, you may feel inspired to invite a loved one to visit or to host a special dinner party at your place. If you’re in the market for a move, set up alerts from the real estate sites and make appointments to see spaces. That lucky listing could emerge this week, or a place that was taken last month could actually be available now. An important woman who came into your world a month ago could step into a more prominent role. If you found yourself squabbling with a close female friend since 2015 began, the time has come to mend fences and leave the past behind you. Grudges are just a no-win situation for you, Scorpio.
Did the Love Boat fail to drop anchor in Scorpioville during Valentine’s Day? Don’t get hung up on that hyped-up “holiday.” This Wednesday, the Sun heads into Pisces, and your passionate, glamorous, and utterly lovestruck fifth house until March 20. The future’s so bright you’ve gotta wear shades — the rose-colored ones, that is. With this dreamy solar energy afoot, romance and creativity are fuel for your soul. For a change, why not look on the bight side, Scorpio, without arching your eyebrows suspiciously and treating everyone as if they are guilty until proven innocent? Better you should be a “fool for love” than to miss a heart-opening opportunity that lands in your path over the coming four weeks. Coupled Scorpios will be in the mood to co-create, and that could include anything from starting a band to making a baby. As the zodiac’s most seductive sign, you love to create a reaction in people. You could work your magic from the stage now or by cultivating a style so head-turning that fashion bloggers stop you on the street (or at least a few complimentary souls). Dance, sing and celebrate often between now and March 20!
Having fun is kind of your job during this monthlong phase — but that doesn’t have to spiral into self-destruction. Although the lure towards excess and hedonism will be strong, you’ll get some checks and balances from Mars and Venus. Both planets switch signs this week, decamping to Aries and your sixth house of order and well-being. While this might be a SLIGHT buzzkill to the Pisces Sun’s wild energy, it will help you keep your feet on the ground while your head is off to fantasyland. Mars hangs in the Aries zone from this Thursday until March 31, while Venus’s tour lasts from Friday until March 17. Besides helping you get on a more practical page with your love interest, this planetary pairing brings momentum for a fitness and life-improvement mission. Find pleasure in moving your body (both in and out of the bedroom) and preparing decadent food with healthy ingredients. Your romantic partner could do a double shift as your fitness buddy. “Spot me, baby,” DOES have a ring to it. You could fall in love with your job again during the Mars-Venus merger. Pick up the reins on a profitable project. Your diligence of the next six weeks could bring some exciting contracts before spring is halfway through.
Ready, set, goal! You’re quite the ambitious Bull this week, aren’t you? Wednesday’s new moon in Aquarius and your tenth house of success could rocket your professional plans into orbit. This is the second consecutive new moon to fall in Aquarius — the first was this past January 20 — so consider it a double bonus. Of course, a few career goals you set in early 2015 may have stalled while Mercury was retrograde from January 21 to February 11. Never fear. This new moon helps you pick up where you left off and REALLY get those missions into motion. Has your work become a little too “lather, rinse, repeat” lately? Train your sights on a new position, one that will allow you to have greater autonomy or leadership. It might take until the corresponding FULL moon in Aquarius on July 31 to actually land the gig. But in the meanwhile, get your skill set and your confidence up to snuff. You might even sign on for sessions with a coach, consultant or branding expert who can polish you to a “high pro glow.” Your relationship with an important man could be off to a fresh start, too. Spend more time with your father, brother, son, husband (or gusband), because this week, he’ll reflect the best in you.
In between power lunches and strategy sessions, make time for good old-fashioned fun. On Wednesday, the Sun heads into Pisces, and your eleventh house of social networking, until March 20. People are your most valuable “natural resource” during this solar-powered phase. Yep, it really IS all about who you know. So rally and head to that cocktail party or industry mixer, even if all you want to do is bundle up in your Snuggie and catch up on all those episodes of Scandal sitting on your DVR. You could make some fascinating NEW friends during Pisces-time too. Open your mind to the avant-garde, freethinking types who aren’t afraid to live by their own rules. If you have a web-based venture in the works, the next four weeks are hot for developing your blog, online store, or Kickstarter campaign. Spruce up your social media profiles too. You could make your best connections virtually by March 20.
Your love life takes a turn for the dreamy before the weekend. On Thursday, lusty Mars heads into Aries and your flowy twelfth house until March 31. Venus follows suit on Friday, dancing into Aries until March 17. Ready for a sweet escape? With this cosmic couple in the most fantasy-fueled part of your chart, you’ll happily wear the rose-colored glasses in the game of love. Book that beach cabana for two or the side-by-side massages. Alas, you WILL be prone to denial over the coming few weeks. Don’t ignore the red flags you see waving. Run the background checks, if for no other reason than to give yourself some peace of mind. Of course, this Mars-Venus pairing can also ignite the warrior in you, giving you the courage to move on from a bad romance. You’ll certainly need to pay better attention to boundaries. Don’t say yes to requests when you really mean no. Otherwise you’ll end up resentful and frustrated. Beware those blurred lines too! Although it seems safe to let yourself go, your heart is tender, Taurus. Don’t get snared in a player’s web — not when you could enjoy some fairy-tale highs with someone of quality and character.
Obsessive Planner Virgo is back at the wheel early this week, ready to get life running like a finely tuned machine. Your body, too, as a health kick and organizational mission are both spawned by the new moon in Aquarius and your fastidious sixth house on Wednesday, February 18. This new moon is a special one, as it’s the second consecutive Aquarius new moon of 2015. The last one was on January 20, so this week’s cleanup mission may be a sequel to one you began a month ago. The sixth house also governs wellness and our daily work. If you splurged on a fancy gym membership or bought a ton of gear and equipment from REI in January, you finally get a chance to USE them now! Virgos who have been diligently working out and sipping green smoothies might raise the bar a little higher. Mix in a power yoga class with your Vinyasa 101 or start training for a charity marathon. Career developments get a second wind from this moon, too. January’s promising interview or power lunch could finally materialize into a contract or job offer.
Also on Wednesday, the Sun changes signs, heading into Pisces and your seventh house of relationships until March 20. Make it a double, Virgo! During this solar-powered month, you’ll benefit greatly from partnering up with people who can pick up where you leave off. And let’s be honest: as much as you can analyze and obsess, having a savvy sounding board will be a lifesaver. You won’t find a great match if you’re filling up your time with temps. Clear the decks of immature “Tinderonis” who have been hogging up the whitespace in your calendar with their half-hearted efforts. Over the coming four weeks you could find someone who is truly ready to go all in. Already taken? Make your partnership a priority for the coming four weeks. If this seems like too much of an effort, you might need to re-evaluate your priorities — or your game plan. As the sign of service, you can fall into the “overfunctioner” camp, giving until it hurts in the name of love. The next four weeks are about finding the right balance. Now for the tough question: are you actually open to receiving? You may need to grit your teeth through some awkwardly vulnerable moments as you wait for your partner to reciprocate — or, (gasp) come right out and ask them to be there for you.
Fortunately, getting a yes out of people should be easy. Both Mars and Venus will head into Aries and your charming, magnetic eighth house this week. Lusty Mars makes the first move from February 19 until March 31, while Venus tours Aries from February 20 until March 17. Hello, sex god or goddess! Your powers of attraction could rival signmate Beyonce’s — and yes, we’re talking the Partition video here — especially for the three weeks that they’ll travel together. But just because you can reel ‘em in, doesn’t mean you’ll want them. Save your final rose for someone who can entice you mind, body and soul. Yes, you’ll be a bit more possessive, even jealous in moments, so you’ll have to keep the green-eyed monster in check. But that urge to merge is real, Virgo. Get talks underway about what’s next for your relationships. You might just put a ring on it before the spring equinox. This Mars and Venus could spell big money too. Your presentations and pitches could bring a windfall or a sale that keeps you flush with cash for a while.
