Mars in Scorpio sextile Jupiter in Virgo offering energy to get stuck into improving ourselves … The Moon in Cancer from Thursday Feb 18th to Saturday morning (Feb 19th, 2016) gets our emotions involved to give it all…and the Sun changes to Pisces to merge with our surroundings…

We started the week with Mercury in Aquarius!!! Here Mercury is comfortable because it can be creative, inventive reforming ideologies and breaking patterns that do not conform to the reality of the future.Ideas flow and we have the opportunity to let it roll to express our thoughts freely! February 14 to March 5, 2016.

Mars, the planet that represents the action to search for what we want, is in Scorpio smiling at Jupiter in Virgo ... The Universe gives us an opportunity to work with passion (Mars in Scorpio) and faith in ourselves to improve (Jupiter in Virgo). Both planets are forming a smooth harmony (sextile) from Feb 16th until Feb 21st, 2016…We need to put effort into what we do but if we do it we can polish our skills with energy and optimism!!! Go for it!

The Moon in Cancer from February 18th to midday of Saturday 19th gets connected withMars in Scorpio andJupiter in Virgo… Intuition will help us to address the adrenaline and feel where to dig to find that skill we need to develop. Don’t miss the opportunity!!!

Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) is a great representation of being born with Sun in Pisces and Mercury in Aquarius… Due to Steve Jobs Ascendant being Virgo, Mercury was the Ruler Planet of the whole chart influencing his approach to life with analysis to be a bit better each day... 

Please remember that all planets in a Birth Chart are important when analysing a person because they describe the uniqueness of a person but for the purpose of showing his fantastic way of thinking (Mercury in Aquarius) please find below some lines from his speech on June 12, 2005 – that I really admire from his mind…

..."When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something" Steve Jobs.

Venus is in Aquarius from Wednesday February 17^th until 13 March 2016. Venus in Aquarius wants to socialise and be free in its relationships. She wants to love and be loved without being possessed ... Venus under this energy is charming and friendly who likes to play with humor ... but does not want dramas ... Venus in Aquarius reminds me of the television series “I Dream of Jeannie" the beautiful Lady in the Bottle who loves Tony Nelson (the astronaut) and she has magical abilities that allows her to disappear when she wants… that for me relates to Venus in Aquarius!!! When the Moon changes to Leo at 1:17pm on Saturday 20 February, 2016 it will oppose Venus.  It is a time to avoid drama otherwise those we are with might suddenly disappear with a ‘click of the fingers’ like Jeannie!!!
