Mercury
retrograde at 26 degrees Aquarius trines Mars in Libra at 3:19 am
Sunday. We
feel extra self-confident, like we could take on the world; but with
Mercury retrograde, that thought may lead us astray. We may tackle a
mental challenge, and even though we might make a false start on it,
it is still important to do that groundwork. We may also have quite a
gift for turning a phrase, but then have to retract our statement. It
may be a good time to get some things off our chest, if only to use
someone as a sounding board.
The
Sun enters Pisces at exactly 1 pm Tuesday. The
phrase that come to my mind with Sun in Pisces is “tea and
sympathy” because Pisceans value both giving and receiving a
sympathetic ear. The problem with Pisces is that they are often too
willing to just wallow in the self-pity or the pity party, whereas a
sign like Cancer will feel the feelings and then do something about
it. Pisces can appear to be indecisive and addicted to
self-defeatism. But the mature Pisces can transmute all their
feelings into inspiring art or poetry, or into a mystical if
idealistic vision of the future.
Sun
in Pisces natives can
be very observant without even being aware of it, and as a result
their comments may seem psychic. They have a vivid imagination, which
is useful in the arts but negative when they scare themselves out of
their own wits. Can be the pet of the family. Can be pliable, which
scammers take advantage of. Can be prone to yielding to the impulse
of the moment, driving 100 miles for no particular reason or blowing
off appointments. Famous
people with the Sun in Pisces include:
John Steinbeck, Jackie Gleason, Liz Taylor, Albert Einstein, Victor
Hugo, Frederic Chopin, Earl Warren, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sidney
Poitier, Rex Harrison, Edward Albee, George Harrison, Rudolph
Nureyev, Pierre Renoir, and Pope Pius XII.
Mercury
retrograde at 23 degrees Aquarius squares Saturn in Scorpio at 2:11
am Wednesday.
We may feel lonely simply from the unwillingness to pick up the phone
and call someone. The aspect may favor doing very focused, very
detailed work, but with Mercury retrograde you may have to do it over
again. It doesn't favor making a good impression so find another day
for that interview.
Ceres
enters Scorpio on or about Feb. 17, and promptly trines Sun entering
Pisces. Ceres
in Scorpio gives great reserves of physical and psychological
strength. Scorpios will proceed toward their goals despite any number
of obstacles or setbacks. They can also recover from physical
ailments and regenerate themselves like the phoenix. Psychic talents
may also surface, especially in regards to what loved ones are doing
or what they need. With the trine to the Sun, Scorpios may gravitate
toward art as an outlet, and luck onto a teacher because the student
is ready.
CAUTION
for next week: The Sun will be conjunct fuzzy Neptune midday Sunday,
Feb. 23. Pisces
natives are likely to suffer all kinds of mishaps, some of which may
make for funny stories later. Let other people drive, lest you get
hopelessly lost!

Readers
can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant
for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects
are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the
Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern
Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.
ARIES
- March 20-April 19 – Sunday favors using your mate and best
friends as a sounding board; just remember to check out any advice
given to you before taking any action. The Sun enters your solar
twelfth house on Tuesday; you may be content with dreaming your
private dream, or volunteering at the local hospital. Ceres enters
your eighth house this week which may spark an interest in biological
sciences in general and specifically in natural foods.
TAURUS
- April 20-May 20 – Best day may be Sunday when the Moon in
compatible Virgo makes pleasant trines to Venus and Pluto; you might
be able to firmly catch that Someone in your romantic net. The Sun
enters your solar eleventh house on Tuesday; you may take on more
duties at a fraternal organization or hobby club, and inspire the
membership to new heights. Ceres enters your seventh house this week
which sometimes means taking on the caretaker role in a marriage, but
more often just makes them quietly reliable in a balanced
relationship.
GEMINI
- May 21-June 20 – On Sunday you might use your children as
a sounding board, just remember to thoroughly check out any advice
they may give you before you do anything. The Sun enters your solar
tenth house on Tuesday; a chaotic person may hire on at work, and
proceed to create a royal mess. Ceres enters your sixth house this
week which increases a yearning to live in the country, or bring
nature into the home.
CANCER
- June 21-July 22 – You might use your family as a sounding
board Sunday, altho I caution you to thoroughly check out any advice
given before doing anything. The Sun enters your solar ninth house on
Tuesday; you may plan a cruise that may or may not ever take place,
or just read about long sailing journeys. Ceres enters your fifth
house this week which could mean an addition to the family by birth
or by adoption; you also restore your spirit with long nature walks.
LEO
- July 23-Aug. 22 - The Sun enters your solar eighth house on
Tuesday; joint finances may be a royal mess this month if you hire
someone new to do bookkeeping or taxes; you may also devour a stream
of murder mystery novels. Wednesday may force you to do detail work
at the office which is not your strong suit to begin with. Ceres
enters your fourth house this week which will help you choose
healthful menus for you and your family; you may also work out of
your home for a time.
VIRGO
- Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – The Moon is in Virgo from Sunday till
midday Monday. The Sun enters your solar seventh house on Tuesday;
you may be attracted to a rather scatterbrained partner that you can
minister to. Pallas in your sign opposes Neptune late this week; you
could administer to those in distress via applying your professional
skills to clients. Ceres enters your third house this week which
should help you speak effectively and also organize everything from
block parties to committees.
LIBRA
- Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – The Sun enters your solar sixth house
on Tuesday; you may be more sensitive to office dynamics or politics.
The Moon is in Libra from 1:23 pm Monday till late Wednesday. Tuesday
gives you challenges of keeping a lid on emotional reactions in the
morn, and deftly avoiding a pointless tug-of-war in the afternoon.
Wednesday morn brings offers of cooperation, which you simply must
nail down into specifics. Ceres enters your second house this week
which should help you grow your resources.
SCORPIO
- Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – The Moon is in Scorpio from 10:33 pm
Wednesday till Saturday morning. Best day is Thursday, when lovely
trines to idealistic Neptune and optimistic Jupiter lead you thru the
day. Believe the best of people today and they may try to live up to
your high opinion of them. You can get a lot done working thru your
lunch break Friday; but try not to be disappointed if the boss won't
let you go home early.
SAGITTARIUS
- Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – The Sun enters your solar fourth house
on Tuesday; you may cocoon more with family members at home, or
possibly deal in real estate matters. The Moon is in Sag from 5:12 am
Saturday thru the weekend. You are a homebody Saturday, puttering
around the house and tending to repairs. Saturday night is devoted to
laughs, whether from rented movies or from telling each other funny
stories.
CAPRICORN
- Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – You may seek a parent to use as a
sounding board on Sunday, altho their advice may not be applicable to
today's realities. The Sun enters your solar third house on Tuesday;
mastery of non-verbal communication is added to your toolbox. You may
also enjoy reunions or visiting the old neighborhood. Wednesday may
be productive when doing detailed work on the club's financial
records. Ceres enters your eleventh house this week which helps you
assign the right person for each task.
AQUARIUS
- Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – Sunday is very favorable for
brainstorming with other air signs; a lot of ideas will be discarded
later but watch for the gems. The Sun enters your solar second house
on Tuesday; you may find a new bookkeeper or accountant, or have to
assign values to everything you own. Wednesday may find you assigned
to detailed work, chained to your desk till it is done. Ceres enters
your tenth house this week sees your hard work rewarded with an
executive position.
PISCES
- Feb. 18-March 19 - The Sun enters your sign on Tuesday; you
may be the center of attention more this month than in the past year,
although you may have gotten used to being invisible. Your skills in
the arts may be in demand in the next couple months, when you may
take on a teaching position. I say this due to the Sun ingress
trining Ceres, plus Juno in your sign trining Saturn, plus Neptune in
your sign opposing Pallas. Be especially careful to guard your health
this week.
