So that was uneventful. Your February is turning up more doldrums than it can shake a stick at, and you‘re feeling the oppressing energies crushing you under their practical, obstinate, and stagnant values. You don‘t function well when there‘s nothing but order and formalities in your life, and you need some spice in your life. This is bound to end up turning you into the trickster the moment Venus moves into Aquarius, because the great thing about Aquarian energies is the vast, expansive vocabulary they possess, and how colorful your words and actions can become. If anything you‘re only being a pesky brat because you‘re bored, and because there‘s nothing better for you to do than nitpick at other people. Uranus is in Aries and some of you want to use this as an excuse to run other people‘s lives, getting entrenched in the gritty drama other people have in their lives. Your own drama happens to be kept to a minimum, as long as you avoid pissing off the boss at work and who cares about your love life anyway? It‘s not like there‘s a lot going on with it, it‘s been a bit stale whether you have someone or not. Hell, it‘s been so boring you might work through the weekend.Ascendant: The trickster in you is ready to spice it up.

If there was a week you wanted to take off from work this would be the best one to do that. There‘s nothing going on, no work will get done this week whether you want to or not. You‘ll be attempting to research but there‘s this heavy stagnant Capricorn energy that has been lingering around, causing everyone to feel like soldiers in a war. You‘re done being in the trenches, feeling like you have to accomplish so much. Venus is leaving Capricorn on Tuesday though and moving into Aquarius which seems to turn your lazy switch. From all these big ideas to absolutely nothing. You want to relax, enjoy the things you‘ve already accomplished, sit quietly and meditate, or just observe the world as it passes you by. You‘re not interested in intellectual debates because you feel small in the grand scheme of things. You also feel like whatever you do today won‘t matter tomorrow, but that‘s coming from Mars being in Scorpio, which sometimes ignites people with passion but in this Aquarius energy storm can‘t seem to do much but make people grumpy. You‘ll be feeling like life is a drag and there‘s nothing more interesting that‘s going to happen in the world, not even if you try. Over the weekend you might get some serious soul searching done, you might realize that being ambitious and successful is great, but so is sleep, sleep is awesome.Ascendant: What is this week good for? Absolutely nothing.

You‘re so happy that day is over with and if you live in Canada that it was a long weekend. (Yay for Family Day!) Venus moves into Aquarius on Tuesday which for you was bad timing. You could have used some of that Aquarian energy last week to help with your game. Regardless, you‘re feeling more in control of things and better to get back to doing the things you‘re passionate about and good at. This week might come with a few more punny quips and unusual observations in comparison to last week but you‘re okay with receiving the weird looks and sometimes glares from people who don‘t understand your unique sense of humor and sometimes twisted logic. In other news, you‘re the only person making work fun this week, taking the stressful edge off for the people who keep getting themselves stuck in the snow or the ditch or who keep ending up late for whatever reason. You‘re helping people see that good things do exist and sometimes it‘s helpful to have a Gemini around to do their work for them when they don‘t, or at least make sure their coffee is waiting for them when they do make it in. If this poor person is your boss, brownie points! The weekend is equally interesting as you feel far more romantic than you did last weekend. I wonder why?Ascendant: Because nothing ever makes sense does it?

You don‘t want to think about the way things are because according to you it‘s not the way things are supposed to be. Of course, some of you think things are supposed to be some fantastic, fairytale with drama and comedy and adventure, but I assure you that only happens in books and movies. Reality has a tendency to be full of disappointments, and sometimes tedious things you don‘t want to do like dentist appointments. This week Venus is moving into Aquarius on Tuesday which helps you get through the short work week without wanting to clobber someone with your opinions. You usually back into your cave when you know something isn‘t going to go your way and you‘re feeling that all week, knowing that someone is going to set you off and it‘s going to be like a geyser of hot, steamy, angry water spewing all over the place. You know you can hurt someone with your words this week if they push the right button, and it‘s not because you‘re attempting to be mean it‘s because people don‘t know when to quit it, and you‘re fed up with the situation you‘re in. When it‘s all over, call someone who has your back, go see a friend and for crying out loud google Vodquila, you need some of that. Ascendant: We all need to hug the Vodquila sometimes.

You want to be assertive, goal-oriented, focused, and ambitious, but you‘re likely the only person who got up at the usual time on the holiday Monday and realized too late that for most of us, there‘s no work today. If you do happen to have the Monday work, let‘s hope it‘s because you work for yourself, in your pyjamas, from your kitchen table while eating Lucky Charms, because that‘s what I‘m doing. There‘s only so much professionalism you can have before some form of playfulness needs to come out, think of it like fireworks, you‘re capable of exploding into bright, colorful, harmless patterns. This week Venus moves into Aquarius on Tuesday, which yes you do have to go to work for, and yes the short work week isn‘t going to affect much because there‘s really not a lot going on. You might push through a few projects, pay a few bills, and otherwise browse Facebook far too often. You‘re just checking the statistics, and researching how Facebook can be useful for business you promise! (No you‘re not.) By the end of the week you‘ve realized that sometimes being successful requires a team effort and sometimes it‘s not as important as getting to the next level of your favorite game. It‘s okay if you don‘t want to focus on things that require real work, nobody is expecting you to invent the cure for Cancer, so you can relax a little, donate some money to a charity of your choice this week, have a get together with some friends this weekend, keep your life simple and low key. Ascendant: Go with some friends to the Deadpool movie, so much yes.

Love day, Family Day, President‘s Day, there‘s too many holidays this month, you‘re not in the mood to celebrate anything unless it has some direct impact on your life. That being said, the short work week is only giving you more time to think, which is sometimes a good thing, but more often than not you think about things that are wrong with your life and that puts you in a grumpy mood and then Mars being in Scorpio starts making you temperamental and then you‘re ranting to the cashier at the Costco about how you‘re spending too much money in life but you have no choice because you need the things you‘re buying and why does everything have to be so expensive all the time? Honestly, your week is like someone wound up your robotic parts and set you loose on the world. At work you‘re perfectly fine, but the moment work ends you‘re out there finding problems with yourself, your friends, your job, your partner, and you‘re not enjoying life the way the rest of us want you to. It might stand to reason that some of your concerns don‘t really matter and that you‘re over exaggerating a little bit. Over the weekend take some time to yourself, let others go out and do the shopping, or see the movie, and hang back, give yourself some much needed down time. Ascendant: Even robots need to relax sometimes.

When you can‘t get the peace you deserve, it‘s time to employ things like chamomile tea before bed, lavender in the bath before bed, meditation, or if worse comes to worse, sleeping pills. Sleep is one of the most important parts of life and you need those seven hours to rest your body, release negativity and dream. Insomnia doesn‘t allow you to get into REM sleep, and so whether you‘re not sleeping at all, or waking up every hour, that‘s the same thing. Your body isn‘t able to relax, and your mind won‘t shut off, and you keep thinking about what you have to do the next day. Dreams help keep you motivated in your daily life, they keep you moving forward towards goals, and they also help you figure out what‘s wrong, what‘s holding you back, and what you can be doing better in your life. Earlier in the week you‘re too busy thinking about work, errands, and things you have to do in order to sit back and enjoy what you‘ve accomplished. Venus moves into Aquarius on Tuesday and that has you even more shaken up, with new ideas flooding your brain and setting you off on tangents at all hours. You may not want to pull the all-nighters, but if you have some good ideas, keep a journal handy to jot them down so you don‘t lose them. Some of them may seem crazy later, but at least you‘ll have a record of them. Towards the weekend you‘ll want to wind down and will do anything to get yourself there. It might not be a great weekend for family and friends, but it will certainly make you feel better. Ascendant: Do whatever it takes, sleep like it‘s a sport.

Some of you liked that Capricorn energy, you were getting used to feeling like the world was spinning on its axis properly instead of being a massive ball of matter hurdling through space at incomprehensible speeds, and at any given moment that pull of gravity could alter course and we could be flung into outer space. You often feel like the world is in a slingshot, and humans keep pulling those elastic bands back further and further, knowing that at some point they are going to snap and the Earth will be jolted forward, not towards some futuristic society, but towards the original state it came in, like all elastic bands, they either snap back to the shape they were in the first place, or they snap and are forever irreparable. Some of you wonder just how irreparable society has become. You also worry about how it‘s going to affect you, the job you have pride in, the family and friends who would be lost without you, things like that. You wonder if you‘ll ever get to live in a world or even a country you‘re proud to call home. So while you‘re doing that, Venus moves into Aquarius and gives you food for thought, you probably needed to take a more philosophical approach to this weekend anyway, it saves us the rest of us from hearing your never ending rants. Ascendant: Turn the rant off.

Sometimes you wonder if you‘re the only person out there with emotions anymore. Our culture has become so desensitized that when people see death on TV or in movies, they‘re not moved by it, they scrutinize it and critique it like that‘s what death is there for, entertainment. You see things differently, and while you don‘t cry at every sad thing you see on television, you do feel the suffering in the world, and you do want to do something about it. Trouble is, it‘s hard to care for someone else without first being able to care for yourself. This week you might find yourself getting that mixed up and giving people too much of yourself without realizing that you have needs too, like sleep and sex, and shelter and food. You need to keep your body in tip top shape, eating some of the best foods out there, and not turning your nose up at those fantastic bananas. Having the energy and stamina to do the things you set out to do is half the battle, while being motivated and inspired is the other half. If you have to drag yourself to work this week it might only be because you‘re the only person who has to work the holiday Monday, and then Venus moves into Aquarius which gives you and everyone else a burst of inspirational wisdom that helps you get through the week without clawing your own eyes out. Worry about what happens on the weekend when you have the power to choose the people you‘re around. Ascendant: Only pick the good ones.

Sometimes you can‘t help it, a holiday Monday comes along and you feel like the sky is falling. You want to run for the hills or complain to HR or something because four days of work is not enough to get everything you wanted to get done in a week. At the very least, if the sky is falling or if you‘re falling from the sky it might be because Monday is the last day of Capricorn energies in the planets. Venus moves into Aquarius, and it‘s like landing on a soft little centaurian pillow, arrows and quills included. You thought productivity levels would be down this week and that you‘d have to work into the weekend, but the nice thing about the Aquarius energy in Mercury and Venus is that people are able to communicate with each other without fear, and if they can bypass the harsh energies of Mars in Scorpio they‘ll have a week where everything that‘s supposed to happen does without a hitch, so that come Friday you‘re looking at a weekend of getting work done around the house, and being able to live a little with some plans with friends. Do yourself a favor and do something crazy this weekend like karaoke. That‘s always fun, even if you can‘t sing a note to save your life it‘s still great to listen to other people and have a drink or two with friends. Ascendant: Stop being so paranoid all the time, things will get done.

If you really need some advice for your life this week, you‘ll find it within yourself more than in your surroundings. It might be best to spend time alone meditating, or binge watching shows on Netflix to catch up. You want to be able to relate to other people as much as possible without always offending them with your wise, sometimes sharp, words and intellectual curiosity. Some people don‘t want to open up as much as you would prefer, and keeping a little mystery about themselves is sometimes the best medicine. You don‘t need to know everything about everyone but with the Sun in Aquarius and Mercury in Aquarius and Venus moving into Aquarius on Tuesday, you‘re feeling the Aquarian energies a lot more strongly and that‘s giving you need to delve deeper into your true purpose and that of those you‘ve invited into your life. You may find that some people don‘t serve a deeper purpose and those are people who you will let go from your life. This may also be a week where you manifest deeper desires and learn that while on the surface you look calm and ready, underneath you‘re struggling more than you have in a long time. It‘s time to face your fears this week and open up to the things you really want out of life, and time to let go of that which isn‘t serving a purpose in your life anymore. Ascendant: Let it go, let it go.

Pisces tends to resonate strongly with their Aquarian counterparts, so this week moving away from Capricorn energy which drags the Pisces into reality a bit too much helps Pisces vibrate at a higher range than earlier this month when Capricorn was ruling over everything. This week you might be hiding from the world on Monday, not wanting to get out of bed and put on those socks you got over the holidays, and actually see people or do things. Venus moves into Aquarius on Tuesday and it seems like you‘ve come out of hibernation. It‘s not with any sort of fanfare, but you‘ll show up with a smile on your face and get things done without complaining about them. You might be hiding how you really feel on the inside, and analyzing everything that happens both inside you and around you with a high level of scrutiny, but this is all something you‘ll end up dealing with on the weekend, when you dive back into your cave and tell the world in no uncertain terms to piss off. What‘s great about the week though is that you‘re able to have what you consider normal interaction with people you never thought you‘d be able to connect with. Aquarius energy has a tendency to open up your curious side, and you end up wanting to explore Earth like it‘s a foreign place. In fact, you might choose to visit new places, and talk to strangers purely because of that drive to see what really exists within reality. You know Robert Lanza teaches us that we create our own reality, maybe this week you‘ll start recreating yours. Ascendant: Your reality is what you make of it.
