Welcome to Daily Astrology, week ahead for Feb. 13, 2012. As you can see from the chart with this post, most of the planets are currently skewed to one side of the sky. Without interpreting them all, note that there is the potential for things going out of balance, so I suggest you be mindful of that. Observe what you say, notice what you feel and be conscious where you put your feet. All day Monday the Moon will be in Scorpio, adding some emotion and passion — and then Tuesday we come to last quarter Moon.
Notice the conjunction of Mercury, Neptune and Pallas Athene -- the three planets with the 00 next to them. That is a triple conjunction that happens Monday and Tuesday.
Monday, Mercury makes its way into Pisces, a sign where it’s associated with creativity and intuition. It’s going to be a truly watery moment for Mercury, since the first thing that it does is make a conjunction to Neptune, also newly arrived in Pisces. Now that Neptune is in position, every time the Sun, the Moon or a planet changes signs, it will make an aspect to Neptune, adding that factor to nearly everything.
For Mercury, this is about tuning into a kind of thought that for most people comes across more like feelings and less like cognition. Ideas may come to you, and if they do, and you find them appealing, you’ll need to take notes or they will float off into the deep blue sea. This includes what comes to you in dreams. It may be valuable and contain actual insight into your situation.
Mercury in Pisces — and Mercury in an aspect to Neptune — can be driven by fantasy. You may need to tell the difference between thinking, dreaming and imagining. You may also need to apply some skill at discerning what is true, from what is either a notion or deception of some kind. It’s most vital that you be truthful with yourself. Once you know where you’re coming from, you can express that sincerely to others — but you might want to ponder that for a few days. Take your time making up your mind, or rather, letting it make up you.
Devote yourself to creative experiences — real ones, like music, painting or anything involving actual rather than conceptual beauty. As you relax and let your mind float downstream, you’re likely to find actual ideas and solutions that you would never have come up with if you’d only tried to approach your life logically. Intuition counts for everything this week, and you may find yourself being more clairvoyant than usual; but remember, you’re not a better driver on a few drinks.
Pisces grants the power of vision and revisioning. This would be a great week to dream up the next thing you want to do, or want to be. Aspects later in the week will help you make that vision real.
