“In any land, in any country under modern free competition, to lay any class of weak and despised people, be they white, black, or blue, at the political mercy of their stronger, richer, and more resourceful fellows, is a temptation which human nature seldom has withstood and seldom will withstand.”
— W. E. B. DuBois


A Moment of Awakening

Dear Friend and Reader:

Something extraordinary is happening. Yesterday, survivors and families from last week’s Parkland, Florida, school shooting attended an epic ‘listening session’ with Pres. Trump, who for once behaved like a human being and actually sat there paying attention.

Therese Gachnauer, center, an 18-year-old senior from Chiles High School and Kwane Gatlin, right, a 19-year-old senior from Lincoln High School, both in Tallahassee, join fellow students protesting gun violence on the steps of the old Florida Capitol in Tallahassee, FL., on Feb. 21, 2018. Students at schools across Broward and Miami-Dade counties in South Florida planned short walkouts Wednesday, one week after the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS. Photo by Mark Wallheiser.

On the same day, other survivors from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School confronted Sen. Marco Rubio at their state capitol in Tallahassee, and it was a real showdown.

Thousands of students across the country staged a walkout from their schools to demand stricter gun laws. There are two direct actions planned for March, including a nationwide walkout at 10 am local time on March 14, and the Million Kid March on DC for Gun Control on March 24.

The kids are showing the way. They’re being the adults, and the rest of us need to listen, follow and do everything we can to support and encourage them.

The Parkland shooting took place the day before a solar eclipse, and any event around an eclipse can be a turning point. This eclipse, though, had a special quality: it was conjunct the Moon in the United States natal chart, which is conjunct the asteroid Pallas Athene.

The U.S. has politics scripted into its personality. But typically it’s naive, and has a love for hucksters, con men, phonies, preachers, and the good old days.

Suddenly, there seems to be an awakening, which is led by young people — the ones who have the most to lose, the most energy and the strongest ideals. It’s been fantastic to see students taking action, and planning to take more action. It’s been beautiful to see young people stand up in support of claiming their own destiny.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 23
(The Day of the Viable Candidate) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
Confront the many ways you’re different from others, and therefore, will never meet their expectations. Yet once you accept who you are, and the many ways you view life differently from the people around you, you’ll be on the path to finding your true happiness. Accept that you take an original view of relationships, and never pretend to be someone else.

Written in the Planets
Today’s first quarter Moon marks one week since the Aquarius New Moon and eclipse. (Does it feel like it’s been longer?) What projects are you starting to build some momentum with? Do they relate at all to any intentions you set last week? With the Moon in Gemini, notice whether you feel like you have to operate on two (or more) tracks at once. Is that comfortable for you, or do you feel a little scattered? Figuring out your most pressing priorities on paper might help in managing it all. Meanwhile, the asteroid Juno enters Pisces today. What does it mean to you to have a ‘spiritual’ bond with a partner? Is that a priority for you? Between now and the end of April, track your emotional needs in your relationships, and notice whether you’re more inclined to imagine expressing them rather than actually express them.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 22
(The Day of Universality) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You’re at the beginning of many new personal cycles. It’s easy to get stuck in past ways of doing things, and more challenging to push into unfamiliar territory. Yet aspects on your birth anniversary describe you taking a clear-headed, sober approach to life, one that’s realistic but which leaves you plenty of room to express your creativity and your ideals.

Written in the Planets
With the sky’s present heavy emphasis on Pisces, there is a general heightening of intuition and sensitivity. Yet the Moon’s passage from Taurus to Gemini today, opposing Jupiter en route, suggests a certain rebellious impulse against anything remotely ethereal. This is not uncommon, and in some cases it is best to keep both feet planted firmly on the ground. Yet if you are experiencing any such reaction on the visceral level, it would certainly not hurt to examine that, and check you are not dismissing a feeling out of hand to which you should in fact be paying attention.

“Last night I wept. I wept because the process by which I have become woman was painful. I wept because I was no longer a child with a child’s blind faith. I wept because my eyes were opened to reality….I wept because I could not believe anymore and I love to believe. I can still love passionately without believing. That means I love humanly. I wept because I have lost my pain and I am not yet accustomed to its absence.”
— Anais Nin

If Your Birthday is Feb. 21
(The Day of Intimacy) | Pisces Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You are not a victim of life; not only that, you know from experience that love is the answer to all of the world’s problems. It’s a good thing you have plenty to offer. Do so freely; the more you offer your passion and beauty to the world, the better you’ll feel, and the happier you will be. Bring the warmth to a chilly world, and offer forgiveness where there’s anger.

Written in the Planets
Today’s Venus-Neptune conjunction is a reminder to keep idealistic expectations about the object of your affection in check. Yet it’s also an open invitation for soul-level connection with someone, or to make (or appreciate) some truly inspired art. Meanwhile, Mercury is making a conjunction to Nessus in Pisces and a sextile to Saturn in Capricorn. There’s an opportunity here to make some headway in addressing the effects of a persistent, troublesome pattern — specifically, it would seem, certain patterns of thought or communication. If that rings a bell, has it ever occurred to you that this pattern might be one you learned or inherited from a family member? This realization, if true, might make it easier to release or at least loosen your identification with it.

This Week’s Horoscope for Pisces by Eric Francis Coppolino

In astrology, the 12th house is the one that is usually said to correspond with yours, the 12th sign. This is the most mysterious house, which is about all things invisible, and not available to the normal senses. How have your dreams been? Have you noticed that you’re doing some kind of deep working out? Have you noticed that the air feels a little cleaner, like in the morning after it’s rained all night? Last week’s eclipse took place in your 12th house, which was like a psychic purge. Periodically, this house needs the pressure equalized with the rest of your life, your mind and your chart, and that’s what happens when there’s an eclipse in this area of your chart. Notice your new clarity, feel it, and pay attention to what you notice. Make sure you do that Pisces thing and keep your point of view moving rather than fixed. One benefit to this event was that it’s helping set you free from thought-forms that had grown too rigid. Look at everything and everyone, including yourself, from as many angles as you can.

Reach for wholeness, for integrity, and to live a complete life, and you will find these things available. Yet it will help considerably if they are conscious goals, intentions or desires, rather than things you might merely wish for. Make the connections between different aspects of your life, and know that your relationships are the one thing that influences them all.

Written in the Planets
In The Art of Becoming annual readings, the minor planet Quaoar — newly in Capricorn — gets a lot of attention. Today it’s in a sextile to the Pisces Sun. Notice how your emotional sense of yourself reflects certain family patterns you were born into. You now have some extra traction in terms of understanding this from a place of compassion for yourself, and even an ability to take creative approaches in working with it. With Venus approaching its conjunction to Neptune (exact tomorrow), follow your inspiration. The world could use more people sharing heartfelt, soulful beauty.

Rediscovering Buoyancy

The Sun entered Pisces today, joining Mercury (which entered Pisces yesterday), Venus, Neptune and Chiron. On Friday, the asteroid Juno will join the pool party. You may be noticing that last week’s edginess is softening, or feel a sensation like pressure has finally equalized.

Partly this is a typical shift after any eclipse, but it’s being emphasized right now by the cluster of planets in Pisces.

I realize as I type this that it’s also possible all the current water-sign activity might have you feeling more sensitive, a little overwhelmed or even desiring some measure of escapism in the aftermath of last week’s tragic, horrific and maddening school shooting in Florida. If that’s the case, rather than withdrawing completely, you might see if you can call on all this Pisces energy to shift into a more creative mode. That can include tending to your self-care.

Over the weekend, the Sun and Mercury entered Pisces, one day apart. They join Venus and long-term visitors Nessus and Neptune. On Friday, the asteroid Juno will join the pool party. The movement from Aquarius to Pisces signals a shift in emphasis from the intellect to the emotions; from groups as a political structure to the collective as organically unified; from disruption and pattern-setting to visioning and moving toward that vision.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 19
(The Day of the Explorer) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may feel like it’s difficult for you to have any personal goals or ambitions. The more you reach for, the more you’ll be guided into serving others. Be happy that, as a Pisces, these instructions are written into who you are. Nobody needs to convince you to do the right thing; you only need to get out of your own way and cooperate.

Current Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

Last week’s solar eclipse in your birth sign is gradually working its effects on you. When an eclipse is building, it’s like an invisible storm is blowing in. The psychic air pressure changes; there’s tension in the atmosphere.

Current Aquarius Monthly Horoscope

You don’t need a conspiracy theory to understand your life. It’s a fact that the elements of your existence have come together by design, most of which was based on your own intentions, choices and actions.

Written in the Planets
Still newly in Pisces, the Sun today forms a sextile to Pholus in Capricorn. In creative terms this could help immensely: a relatively small-seeming idea providing the seed from which a whole new project may sprout. On the flip side, as always, there is a danger with Pholus of things getting out of hand. If you find yourself on a train of thought that specifically feels troubling, it would be particularly wise to slow it down and do a little fact-checking before you act on your thoughts.

Len Wallick | Life More Than Mind

If Your Birthday is Feb. 18
(The Day of the Complete Picture) | Birthday Readings: Aquarius | Pisces | Others
You are accustomed to living life on the edge, as if on the border between two countries, or in a time of profound transformation. The current world matches your inner reality beautifully, and you’re well adapted not just to survive, but to grow and thrive in these strange times we’re living in. Remember how sensitive you are, and take care of yourself above all else.

Current Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

The bigger your plans, the more they may evoke your insecurities. This is typical even of high achievers, though you may want to gain some insight into the issue. Consider two possibilities: one is that you’re confusing your potential success with your self-worth.

Written in the Planets
The emphasis of the sky has now shifted from Aquarius to Pisces, with the entrance of Mercury followed by the Sun. This usually has a gentler feel, and allows the intuitive centers of our minds to open up like flowers in the spring — if we let them. It’s important to find the balance between planting one’s feet in concrete and floating off into some misty etheric realm. Each of us needs groundedness and imagination, so make sure you have both to hand.

Amanda Painter | Aquarius New Moon Eclipse

Thursday we experienced the second of the pair of eclipses for this season: a partial solar eclipse with the Aquarius New Moon, exact at 4:05 pm EST. As Amanda Painter explains, despite the ‘fixed’ quality of Aquarius, it looks like the theme of the eclipse chart — and of the weekend astrology — is ‘movement’.

Others respond to you before you even say a word. Your physical presence is so unusual and so palpable that people will feel they know you before you even introduce yourself. Those you know and love will have a similar experience. Take the time to patiently help others clear up any mysteries or misunderstandings they may have about you.

You’ll want to be sure you shift your perspective a few times on any important matters you deal with today. While the current Sun-Mercury conjunction in Aquarius could be very useful for making future plans, it can also confer an ‘all about me’ quality. So you’ll want to remember to consider the points of view of — and effects on — others, as you make decisions and communicate them. Mars in Sagittarius making a square to Neptune in Pisces ups the ante on things: beware anything that’s likely to cloud your judgment — including investing so heavily in certain beliefs that they go completely unquestioned.

“Give up defining yourself – to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”
— Eckhart Tolle


The Mother of All Freedoms

Dear Friend and Reader:

On Valentine’s Day, I was eagerly waiting for the White House press briefing to begin. It was delayed several times, hour by hour, and finally the 4 pm scheduled event was canceled.

This has become a way of life for American students. Photo: ABC News.

That day’s press briefing would have focused on a newly revealed debacle in the White House, which started as the revelation that Rob Porter, a top staff member accused of beating two of his wives, had been denied security clearance, but was still handling the president’s most highly classified documents.

The White House was claiming that the security clearance process was still in motion, though the FBI director, a Trump appointee, said in a congressional hearing earlier that week that the security clearance report had been turned over last July.

Security clearance is an elaborate, detailed (but routine) character check, going back to one’s teenage years, to make sure that people who work at the top levels of government are qualified to be handling the nation’s most sensitive secrets — such as the names of American spies working in the Kremlin, pending military plans and anti-terrorist strategies.

This has been turned into a scandal over the White House hiring a wife-beater (who according to press reports was also involved romantically with Hope Hicks, one of the president’s closest advisors), and the president’s position on domestic violence (he’s opposed, thank goodness).

How you describe yourself, what you emphasize, and what you believe, all reveal your feelings about your existence. In particular, choose your words carefully, because they will have a way of sticking to you and becoming true. There is no such thing as a problem without a solution, and whether you see that depends entirely on your state of mind.

Written in the Planets
What are your thoughts about how your more intimate partnerships and friendships exist within a wider community? Even if you tend to prefer one-on-one interactions, those connections are part of a wider network of social groups, some of which may overlap. Today’s conjunction between Mercury and Juno in Aquarius could bring these themes to mind. Or perhaps you’ll notice shifts in how you think and communicate with intimate partners about your needs, versus how you convey the same info to groups, or on social media. If you can discern patterns in any of that, what do they tell you about yourself? Note that Mercury and Juno are also in a sextile to the Galactic Core and centaur Ixion in Sagittarius. What you figure out and communicate now could relate to the greater orientation of humanity; however, for that to be true — and serve the higher good — sticking to your moral compass will be key.
