Starcodes February 14, 2020

On this Valentine’s Day may our hearts be warm, may we share love with our community and deepen all soul-supportive relationships. Valentine’s Day is an idealistic Aquarius holiday, Aquarius brings our mind to community, politics and our physical and metaphysical interconnectedness.

Aquarius also loves philosophical ideals, over time the ideal of romantic perfection on Valentine’s Day has been so inflated that it can hurt when we compare our lives to that ideal, rather than celebrate connection and caring where and how we find it. The tricky astrology of this week can exacerbate this problem, so let’s be careful with one another’s hearts, and do something wonderful for the world instead of worry about whether or not we got a box of chocolates.

Today’s intense Moon in Scorpio hints of strong passions, possessiveness, and a paradoxical desire to be alone. Emotional Venus, now in feisty Aries, acts like a Bunsen burner to heat our feelings, while action-oriented Mars in freedom-loving Sagittarius offers cheerfulness yet with a fear of feeling trapped, which can create all sorts of interesting dynamics to relationships. The Sun in Aquarius encourages us to either love everyone, or love no one, it is also bringing this abstracted political season; Presidents’ Day is under Aquarius for good reason.
