The Times, They Are a' Changin'

02/02/2009 - 02/08/2009

This week brings feisty energy and the desire to forge new paths as Venus enters the pioneering sign Aries on February 2, and active Mars enters independent Aquarius on February 4. Yet, in the midst of these themes, Saturn and Uranus oppose each other again on February 5 when they return to the same tug-of-war (change vs. experience) that was in play last November 4.

February 2: Venus enters Aries

Pay close attention to the themes that emerge in your love-life as the relationship planet enters bold Aries. Venus will turn retrograde next month in this sign, which means you will be living with this energy through the first week of June. This is not a stay at home placement! Get off the couch, turn off your computer and go out and do something! Single? Get physical! Racquetball, tennis or even dance classes are great activities to meet someone new. Are you already in a committed relationship? Fan the flames of passion! Bring your partner flowers, plan a vacation or train together for a marathon. It is the doing that sparks love -- so get moving! Otherwise, the love planet in the warrior sign might try to pick a fight.

February 4: Mars enters Aquarius

As Mars leaves pragmatic Capricorn and enters Aquarius, it is time to celebrate your independent spirit, get creative and do something innovative. This is a march to the beat of your own drum energy that stimulates outside-of-the-box thinking. If you can harness the assertive energy of Mars and the determination of this fixed air sign, you can make inroads into areas you never thought possible.

February 5: Saturn opposite Uranus

Maintaining a healthy balance between your responsibilities and your desire to make changes in your life is the task of this opposition. If you have resisted the message for change (Uranus) since last November at the time of the first opposition in this series, you will be reminded of the importance of change now. On the other side, if you have been super rebellious, neglecting your responsibilities (Saturn), you will receive an important message about accountability now. Either way, the challenge is to build upon your experiences while also being open to change.
