Mercury in Aquarius, his tutor’s sign, turns direct again this week, giving Jupiter status as the only retrograde planet. Neptune still dominates the transits this week, very strong and influential in his home sign Pisces. Planetary pairs continue to be a long standing theme: Mercury in Uranus’ sign; Sun opposite Jupiter by sign and often aspect all month; and Venus in the same sign as her spiritual teacher, Neptune. In general, this week presents opportunities to reach for higher ideals and greater self-actualization through the powerful planetary pairs: expanding the sense of conscious identity and personal growth (Sun-Jupiter); seeing the big picture and making leaps in thought via a logical framework (Mercury-Uranus); and expressing socially productive personal qualities while striving to engage with a larger collective (Venus-Neptune).
Additionally, Moon’s nodes aspect Poseidon (Transneptunian) all week. What wisdom and insight might be acquired from considering past actions in light of future direction in your life?
A potentially intense, yet productive week based on the transits. Let’s see what opportunities each Sun sign might have this week. Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.
Aries
Jupiter’s sense of optimism and growth gives you a boost at the beginning of the week. Venus is also influential for you and her influence becomes stronger as the week progresses. Projects and activities requiring cooperation have a greater chance of success when your Aries determination teams up with other people, especially when the direction of a project or activity is rather indeterminate. Overall Neptune’s influence weighs heavily on you; using creativity and imagination to your advantage can help you through any rough spots in this potentially uplifting week. Just for Aries: fun with friends is a strong theme for you this week.
Taurus
Neptune’s vague, yet appealing qualities are influential for you at this time and strongest at the beginning of the week. Jupiter is also influential for you this week, especially around February 10. February 10 is also prime for using personal energy in a focused way to accomplish various goals and tasks. Will, drive, and ambition become more prominent for you as the week passes, a nice complement to your practical, earthy Sun sign that enjoys producing tangible results from various efforts. Sharp perspectives regarding various issues can be used to your advantage at the beginning of the week. Despite possible disruptions and necessary adjustments at the beginning of the week, overall a potentially productive week. Just for Taurus: watch for opportunities to provide service to family members and colleagues this week.
Gemini
Your ruling planet, Mercury, goes direct this week. Retrogrades can be productive. Watch for last opportunities this week to thoroughly think through issues, listen to all sides of an argument, and take advantage of unexpected networking opportunities. Close relationships can give you a boost this week if you need support. Saturn is influential for you this week; creating structure, planning, and implementing self-discipline can boost the opportunities for productive efforts by the week’s end. If various past difficulties arise at the beginning of the week, the opportunity to make “lemons into lemonade” presents itself by week’s end. This week can be one of accomplishment if Saturn’s demands are met. Just for Gemini: finding a refuge in listening to music or other relaxing escapes can be a good exercise this week.
Cancer
Mercury retrograde hits you a bit hard at the beginning of the week, but it’s a good opportunity to make sure you have all of your affairs in order. This is also a see-saw type week for you, with light days contrasted with more serious ones. Cooperative efforts and enjoying family and friends are strong themes for you on February 7 and 8. After February 8, the week becomes more intense. February 9 can be a very productive day if you can find a way to deal with Neptune’s ambiguity and intuit behind the scenes activities. Saturn becomes influential for you at the end of the week, accentuating the planetary pairs theme. Considering the future, with Sun drawing closer to the end of Aquarius, in light of the past, symbolized by Moon and Saturn, is a strong theme for you this week. Just for Cancer: no additional thoughts for Cancer this week.
Leo
“Expansive productivity” is a strong theme for you at the beginning of the week. Jupiter’s possibilities for abundance are with you all week. Anticipating problems and strategizing possible solutions beforehand can be very effective this week, especially at the beginning of the week. Your emotional base tends to complement your strong conscious self on February 7 and 8. Emotions tend to become more conflicted on February 10 and 11, but creativity also tends to increase around that time. The week ends with a boost from Mars, who supplies passion and energy for your activities, especially those that you fervently support. All of that said, this week is not overly active for you, with a bit of variety and mix of tension and ease to help move you along. Just for Leo: if a project requires multiple attempts and repeated efforts, don’t be discouraged!
Virgo
The week starts with a strong potential for using your analytical strengths to help achieve your goals. Your attention to detail and penchant for detecting errors certainly can help when your ruling planet Mercury turns direct this week (Mercury the trickster always has something up his sleeve). Even with all of the airy energy hitting you right now, focusing on the concrete is one way to successfully navigate Mercury’s antics and Uranus’ disruptions. You might also benefit more than average this week from working with people close to you. Having a one-week goal this week, with a meticulous, step-by-step plan, and using your sharp mind to overcome various obstacles, has strong possibilities for success by February 12. Just for Virgo: consider mental activity as a way of refreshing yourself this week.
Libra
February 7 and 8 are probably the nicest days of the week for you this week. A sense of security and harmony in relationships can be experienced on those days, combined with a common purpose and forward-looking perspective. Shared drive and passion with other people is also a strong theme for you this week. Venus’ qualities in her sign of exaltation, Pisces, can show through for you this week; use Venus’ empathy, compassion, and visions while you can! Neptune’s strong influence might feel foggy, but Jupiter’s influence for you throughout the week helps boost your natural people skills and make good times even better. Overall an enjoyable and people-centered week for you. Just for Libra: although this week is uplifting, don’t ignore the need to shift gears in certain situations if necessary.
Scorpio
The first half of the week contains a strong “other people” theme for you. With Neptune’s mirages and illusive qualities showing influence, how will you connect with other people to take advantage of his better qualities? You have a strong emotional base to draw from in the middle of the week, February 9 to 11, and those can also be days of inspiration for you in creative projects and even in day-to-day living. Caring for pets and experiencing the outdoors (weather permitting) can be refreshing activities for you this week. Watch for opportunities to gain insight from various situations this week, especially around February 10. Uranus’ disruptions are a bit more active than usual these days, but also consider how he can assist with problem solving when you work very hard to think through puzzles. Just for Scorpio: do you have a heightened sixth sense about other people these days?
Sagittarius
The planetary pairs theme is pronounced for you this week. Your ruling planet, Jupiter, is heavily influenced by the Sun this week, especially at the beginning of the week. Personal growth and abundance are powerful themes for you this week. The beginning of the week also has greater than average potential for achievement, with Mars’ ambition and drive in effect. Teamwork is also potentially effective this week, with Venus influential all week and of greatest influence around February 9 and 10. Chances for creativity at work and within a group structure are also pronounced, with flashes of insight here and there as a possible bonus. A combination of self-development, personal energy, and cooperation with other people at work or in play can help you create a productive, fulfilling week. Just for Sagittarius: even if you feel alone regarding a certain issue, consider the benefits of sticking to your guns!
Capricorn
This is not an overly active week for you in the transits. Problems that seem to linger from past issues might suddenly evaporate around the middle of the week. Neptune’s fog and illusions continue to have their influence, but your practical, no-nonsense Capricorn Sun can find concrete ways to deal with Neptune, and borrow some of his creativity in the process. Close relationships can be productive and comfortable this week, especially when you consider the future and how you might achieve goals with your significant other. February 7 is an especially good day for you to relate to your partner on an emotional level. Somewhat to the contrary, a lot of work tends to be necessary on February 7 and 8 in cooperative efforts, but it can be very productive if you find a way to do so. Just for Capricorn: a good week to appreciate what you can’t figure out about your lover! Or other people you share bonds with.
Aquarius
The beginning of the week has potential for self-development, for example, through studying information of interest and then applying it to your life. Using teamwork and cooperation is also a theme for you at the beginning of the week. Expanding your knowledge through creativity is a strong theme for you all week. Therefore, breaking away from your routine somehow might be productive in discovering various information. All of this is a subset of a long-standing theme for you: how are you developing your personal power and using your perspectives? Neptune’s influence is perhaps least relevant for you among all of the signs, but he’s still there! Neptune’s imagination can help you generate brilliant ideas and help you move forward this week. Just for Aquarius: can being of service also be liberating?
Pisces
Close relationships become very influential for you by the end of the week. Venus and Mars in your sign also suggests an emphasis on relationships all week. Certainly no lack of creativity is present this week! Neptune’s inspiration and imagination is tempered a bit by Saturn’s restrictions, but Saturn’s structure also provides a way to effectively implement Neptune’s creativity, given the effort. Your emotional base tends to be stronger and more intense on February 10 and 11, which can help you initiate activities through both your own will and cooperation with others. The watery energies this week might also help you discern answers to problems via your intuition and inclinations. Just for Pisces: “creative application of theory” can be of benefit this week.
