Overview
Happy Valentine’s Day. Jupiter Rx in Libra makes a doubtful inconjunct to Wounded Healer Chiron (in Pisces) on February 14th. Backtracking/revisions may bring you to an uncomfortable conclusion. More is not always better. Or, better can be undermined by lurking doubts. Remember that Jupiter Rx in Libra is about rebalancing. Too much, too fast needs to be corrected. Slow down and take a breath. This isn’t a deal-breaker; you just need to pause and adjust. And there’s something to look forward to…
On February 16th. Mercury in Aquarius receives gentle initiative from Mars in Aries, via a sextile. Words and actions harmonize, and the message is delivered with ease. You can be assertive but non-threatening. You can launch a new idea that’s electric, but not too crazy.
February 18th sees the Sun’s Pisces ingress. Welcome to the season of flux. Nothing is forced in this sign. It happens on its own, or it doesn’t happen. Releasing may be easier than building during Pisces season. But this is also an expansive sign, so you can make room for something better.
Aries
Jupiter/Chiron can pinpoint background wounds about a relationship. Happy developments may raise hidden doubts. Or, a weak spot in a partnership ideal could be revealed. Acknowledge what hurts, but don’t give up hope – questions are part of the process.
Mercury in your social sector, sextile Mars in your sign, gives you a communication edge with friends, groups and the public. You’ll have the drive and opportunity to get your point across, and it should be well-received by others. Excellent for public statements or networking that requires a light but assertive touch.
As the Sun enters your hidden sector, you may become more aware of what goes on behind the scenes. Issues you’ve been avoiding, or things that are unproven, can make you uneasy. The solution is to pause and look at what’s not obvious. The unknown is less threatening when you shed light on it.
Taurus
Jupiter/Chiron can hi-light a flaw or discrepancy in your work/health routines. Recent changes in your work or daily life require a second look, and now you’ll encounter a disconnect between your efforts versus what others need. Too, comparisons can make you aware of what you have to refine/improve. Health/exercise may need some adjustments if you’ve been overdoing it (pushing too hard, or overindulging and doing nothing at all).
Mercury/Mars can clue you into a less obvious, but lucrative, job opportunity. An indirect approach, or inquires about an ultimate ambition that seems unrealistic, may net you surprising results.
The Sun into your social sector broadens your focus and goals. Success, career and status will matter less than your connections to others, and your personal goals. If you’re looking for work, or considering changing your career path, this influence can make ideals more important than a steady paycheque.
Gemini
Jupiter/Chiron can reveal a weakness in your push for self-expression/creativity. What you really desire will need to be rebalanced with your current career or professional image. You may discover that you don’t quite have what it takes to reach a goal (yet). Too, overindulgence, or an unwise risk, can have a negative impact on your professional life. Use tension to regroup, rebalance your efforts and sharpen your focus.
Mercury/Mars urges you to look at new options involving travel, education, legal matters or publishing. These areas can be energized with new plans, new contacts, and new things to learn. Someone could push you a bit further than you expected, but you’ll find that it’s an easy transition.
The Sun into your career sector hi-lights your future goals, professional image or relationship with management. You’re in the midst of unstructured change – your next step may not be clear, and what you need to keep or let go of may be up for questioning. This transit can provide moments of clarity – keep your eyes open.
Cancer
Jupiter/Chiron can trigger concerns about relocation, home expansion or growing your family. It may be time to reconsider plans to add more or move beyond your current situation. Too, recent growth might leave you feeling overwhelmed, even if events have been positive.
Mercury/Mars suggests career goals, or your approach to authority, can benefit from a behind-the-scenes investigation. Looking deeper, or communicating from a place of deep honesty (bringing up issues that have been avoided) will result in progress. Your professional actions will be fuelled by deeper strategies, but the message will be delivered in a non-threatening way.
The Sun into your sector of opportunities draws your attention to distant horizons, or new areas to explore. Travel, education, legal matters or publishing may be hi-lighted, as you consider how far you can go.
Leo
Jupiter/Chiron can trigger reconsideration of a big idea, promise or hope. Someone may change their mind, or backtrack on a statement. Too, you may be reconsidering this information in light of vulnerabilities around finances or intimacy.
Mercury/Mars can fire up relationship discussions. This energy is promising, and hints at more to do and explore and for you and someone else. This may be an initial conversation, where you both discover a shared love of travel, or a discussion in an ongoing relationship that gives you better ideas to work with.
The Sun into your sector of shared resources hi-lights what you share, what you can’t control and what you may have to release. Allowing certain events to develop in their own time, or letting go of habits that undermine your security, could be themes.
Virgo
Jupiter/Chiron can trigger relationship conflict or insecurities. Money or self-esteem issues can briefly flare up, as you review expenses, or expectations of what you’re entitled to. As you focus more closely on what you have, or what you have to gain, consider if your anxieties are based in reality.
Mercury/Mars sharpens your ability to improve, upgrade or handle an increased workload. You won’t just be working harder, you’ll be applying your smarts to daily tasks at work or home. Health and exercise routines can receive fresh initiative.
The Sun into your partnership sector illuminates issues of give and take. Whether you’re single or involved, you’ll become more aware of what you project (including illusions and anxieties) and what you need to let go of.
Libra
Jupiter Rx in your sign, inconjunct Chiron in your sector of routine, suggests the review or delay of an opportunity may be connected to a health or work issue. Taking on too much/too fast, could impact your energy levels. Or, a flaw related to organization/prioritization may be exposed. Keep in mind that opportunity is opportunity, no matter how you slice it. Look closely at what’s growing, and address any flaws. Rebalance your efforts, but don’t give up completely just because you’ve run into some difficulties.
Mercury/Mars can trigger flirtatious conversations/introductions. You may feel more assertive than usual and decide to make first contact with someone. In all one-on-one connections (platonic or romantic) your words will be well-received if you just say what’s on your mind. Don’t worry about how it will sound, or if you’re going to come off as too eager/weird/pushy/boring, etc.
The Sun into your sector of routine draws your attention to what you have to do versus what others want you to do. Obligations, to yourself and others, will be hi-lighted. It may be time to let go of tasks that were never your responsibility. Shifting priorities at work, and in your personal life, could be a theme as you let one thing go to make room for something better/healthier.
Scorpio
Jupiter/Chiron suggests background developments can unexpectedly trigger a doubt or insecurity. Something you want (in the areas of creativity, new romance or self-expression) may be up for questioning. Do you have what it takes to succeed/attract? Do you really want this? What if the answer is no? Allow yourself to work through uncertainties – there’s no rush.
Mercury/Mars can present new and positive solutions to domestic and family affairs. Family discussions, renovations, relocation or a home business can benefit from your efforts to take charge and push for improvements. The fix can be easily applied.
The Sun’s move into your sector of self-expression hi-lights personal goals, pleasure, celebrations or issues involving children/pregnancy. What you want, or what you’ve created, will be emphasized – depending on your chart, this could be a time to kick back and enjoy yourself, show off, or celebrate results.
Sagittarius
Jupiter/Chiron can make a public statement, group event or friendship a bit dicey. You may feel more exposed than you’re comfortable with. Or, an apparent opportunity could make you feel unprepared or insecure. Consider if pulling back and rebalancing your public efforts might help.
Mercury/Mars boosts your confidence to speak out, or celebrate what you’ve got to offer. Communication will be driven by your desire to go after what (or who) you want. Too, you could be the recipient of some charmingly assertive words.
The Sun’s move into your domestic sector increases your focus on home and family matters. Release of the past (including outdated roles of victim or martyr) may be themes. In mundane matters, this is a good time to attend to home improvements or early spring cleaning/purging.
Capricorn
Jupiter/Chiron can hi-light concerns about a career opportunity, new job or issue with management. Discussions or new information can reveal questions – take your time to sort through the facts. Too, more on your plate could prove stressful – is it time to rebalance your responsibilities?
Mercury/Mars puts discussions about earned money and personal values on your radar. Domestic/family issues will fuel your desire to talk about what you need, or what’s essential for day-to-day living. The energy is assertive, but with minimal conflict. You should be able to get your point across without having to lower the hammer.
The Sun into your communication sector illuminates the exchange of information. A specific discussion may take precedence, along with the need to let go, apologize or get the details on a vague issue. Too, you may find the overall pace of conversations, emails and phone calls increases. A sibling issue may also be hi-lighted.
Aquarius
Jupiter/Chiron can trigger second thoughts about travel, relocation, education, legal matters or publishing. The urge to explore/expand will have to be tempered with financial and security issues. You may not have enough (temporarily) to go as far as you want to. Too, you may need to rebalance the importance of money versus happiness, or risk versus reward.
Mercury in your sign is encouraged by Mars in your communication sector. You can get your message across with easy assertiveness – you won’t have to push. Just speak/write naturally, be honest, and watch how it flows.
The Sun into your sector of personal resources gets you looking more closely at what you have, what you need to save, and what isn’t worth keeping. Earned money, self-esteem and personal values may be in flux these days, and the Sun should illuminate key issues – consider if you’re clinging to something that used to make you feel safe, but now makes you feel insecure.
Pisces
Jupiter Rx in your sector of shared resources makes a tense inconjunct to Chiron in your sign. Reevaluation of shared finances or intimacy issues will trigger brief moments of doubt. You may be looking closely at a chance to invest more, take on a loan, or get closer to someone. Consider the balance of opportunity versus how vulnerable you’ll feel – it’s ok to back off for now while you decide if you’re ready.
Mercury/Mars offers a background nudge. Actions related to financial/emotional security may be inspired by a gut feeling or hard-to-define sense of possibility. Too, an unconfirmed idea may be energized (and confirmed) by external actions. Trust what happens naturally – this won’t require much effort.
The Sun into your sign can increase your sense of fate and possibility – you’re at the right place, right now. What’s meant to be will emerge easily and simply. What doesn’t belong to you will fall away, no matter how hard you try to maintain it.
