The Stars This Week - 01/30/06 - 02/05/06

Emotions are running high this week, and it's up to you to make the most of them. As Mercury conjuncts Neptune on the 1st, consider turning your wildest dreams into reality. Venus will end her retrograde journey on the 3rd, so just ride out a day or two of transition, and you can finally start getting what you need in the love department. That is, if you can take a break from venting as Mercury squares Mars on the 5th!

February 1: Mercury conjunct Neptune

There are two ways to find your way to the future. Fortunately, or unfortunately, you've got to put them both into operation at the same time to make your dreams come true. First off, you need to visualize what you want -- to see it happening as if you're actually watching it on television. Next, you have to be absolutely, completely sure that you can make that dream a reality. Mercury is in charge of thoughts, and Neptune holds jurisdiction over dreams -- so they're the pair you need to bring about your grand plans. While they're always accessible, they're holding hands at the moment, meaning their influence is just unbeatable. Use it. To the max. It's time.

February 3: Venus Stationary Direct

Every so often, lovely lady Venus stops in her tracks (sorry, in her high heels), crosses her arms and just says no -- to everything that ordinarily elicits an 'Oh yes, please, may I have another?' Today is one of those days. Venus has been moving retrograde -- backward, that is -- so she's gotten used to living on far less than what she really wants. In fact, she's had to go without for so long, she's more than a little bit angry. At this point, she wouldn't take what's offered if you paid her. Still, that doesn't mean you should continue to suffer without what you want and need just to make a point.

February 5: Mercury square Mars

Arguments? Oh, maybe. Okay, definitely. In fact, no matter what it is that's irritating you, you've decided that you're not going to go one minute more without mentioning it. Remind your adversary that it's nothing personal. You just need to vent, and they just happen to have given you the reason for all that venting. Go ahead. Let 'em have it. How often have you ignored frustration in the past, only to dole that anger out in little bits and pieces to everyone else who crossed your path? Give the direct approach a try this time.
