Saturday, FEBRUARY 16

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Cancer, drawing our keen attention to our personal lives, attachments, home, family, and familiar places and faces. The Moon in Cancer is warm and safe. However, it opposes Venus, Saturn, and Pluto, suggesting some tension due to our drives to perform, pleasure in producing, or the demands of our responsibilities. We can be competitive and perhaps impatient.

Nevertheless, the Moon also forms a trine to Neptune, and we can find creative ways to express and satisfy our increased needs for safety. Today is good for respecting our intuition and relaxing rather than pushing forward, even if we need to do some battle with our desires to perform or produce. As well, Venus heads towards a sextile to Neptune, exact early tomorrow. We’re more imaginative and attuned to the worlds of beauty and romance, and we tend to approach one another more gently than usual with this transit. A magical time on a romantic and social level is possible now, as we are inclined to see spiritual dimensions of our relationships and to approach others with increased compassion. This influence encourages us to open up and embrace loving feelings. There can be a commitment made to work through tough problems, or a willingness to put our talents to good use. We can be determined to take better care of ourselves, and discoveries made now can fuel or reignite our motivation to pursue a particular path.
