Monday, Feb. 3rd:

Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus. Where it will journey until 6:29am EST. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and "rushing things" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It's probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)

Monday at 6:28am EST, we enter a very brief Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for only one minute until 6:29 EST; at that time, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Wednesday afternoon. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. "Busy" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)

Monday at 6:37am EST, Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey through Pisces until March 4th. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next four weeks we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.

We seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.

The key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.

Mercury in Pisces also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings, or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items.

For the next four weeks, ask yourself: Am I ready to connect to my intuition more fully? Could I allow for the unfolding process, trusting my higher Self more fully?

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Pisces? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.

Lastly, on Monday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 5:01pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last week, Saturday on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday. This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them. We have a chance to combine compassion and gentleness with realism and maturity.

On a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There's no need to rush anything -- instead, tune into your intuitive side and think things through carefully and responsibly -- do your "due diligence" and stay open-hearted. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to "take" it.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in...
