February 28-March 7, 2005

This week the sun continues in sensitive Pisces while the moon gets down to the bottom of things. Last week mind aligned with wisdom in tenderness. Now it's love's turn.

The sun (soul vitality) is in the slushy emotion of late winter (Pisces), the vulnerable aftermath of recent isolating alignment under pressure. This past weekend the moon (heart sensitivity) was in Libra, awareness of love. Monday begins with it progressing into the magnetic intensity of Scorpio. Along with the sun in Pisces and Saturn, centering/grounding, in emotional Cancer, all three of the water signs are anchored, creating a solid core of feeling, especially Tuesday. Mind (Mercury) is also peaking in tension with power (Pluto), charging thought and communication.

Wednesday the moon moves on to Sagittarius, the warm passion at the bottom of the seasonal cycle. This often feels like a low ebb, restless, but it's natural, part of settling with reality, especially during sensitive Pisces time. Action in constructiveness (Mars in Capricorn) is tense with creativity in love (Jupiter in Libra), peaking and releasing its charged energy early Thursday.

Friday, while the heart is dragging down, beauty (Venus) is aligning with wisdom (Uranus) in vulnerability (Pisces). By afernoon things start to shift. The moon hits bottom, rebounding with the primal earthiness of Capricorn, and Mercury, quick mind, leads the way into Aries, the spark of early spring. Saturday we awaken still sensitive (Pisces sun), but with a powerful, constructive spirit (Capricorn moon and Mars). Having survived an emotional drag, we may now be driven to act on our feelings. And with Mercury in Aries fire, we'll probably clearly express them.
