Wednesday, Feb. 9—The moon will be void of course this morning from 1:30 until 5:22, when it enters Taurus. At that point, the energy will lift, and general moods will tend to become more down to earth and concerned with enjoyment. A major energy running through today is very good for taking relationships to deeper levels and making new beginnings in them. A strong sexual component may accompany this, however, and sensitivity may be called for. Use this energy well, but wisely. Moods should be more positive than otherwise through most of the day, even through the void of course. Watch the early morning for some potential aggressiveness, but this will pass quickly, if it’s noticed at all. Take a communicative and expansive approach through the workday. Pay positive attention to relationships from the late afternoon into the late night, but remember the major energy mentioned above.

Thursday, Feb. 10—High positive relationship energy from yesterday will remain with us through today. Use it well, but remember the mild caution that goes with it. Reread and apply carefully. Another major energy running through today is rather more cautionary. Light will be shed on things normally kept hidden and under the surface. Guard your secrets, and observe as others’ are revealed. Some people will become aware of things not to their liking and may not respond well. Also, be very careful in any dealings with authority that may be having their own problems along these lines. Don’t get caught up in dramas and intrigues that are not your business and may be well above your pay grade. Challenges to authority and regime change may be in the air, and you don’t want to be swept up in something you could have avoided. Minor energies are of no help today, and there is scattered irritability here and there throughout the day. Lay low tonight, and consider packing it in early as the late night into tomorrow’s predawn is especially rough, and some people will be ready to rumble.

Friday, Feb. 11—The high cautionary energy from yesterday remains with us through today. Reread and apply the warnings carefully. It is joined by three more major related and cautionary energies. The first is more neutral and is best used for seeing beneath the surface, coming to deeper understanding and initiating positive change. This is how the whole complex is best approached, but wisely. The second can bring problems to communication and transportation, especially where electricity and electronic media are involved. This energy also brings out the nut cases, who will be out and about. Watch for erratic behavior of all kinds, and be especially careful in traffic. The first peaks tomorrow morning, but comes into focus through today. Read tomorrow’s forecast and apply diligently. Be aware of and work around this afternoon’s moon void of course period, which runs from 1:25 until 4:19, when the moon enters Gemini. At that point, the energy will lift noticeably, and general moods tend to become more communicative. This will be a high-energy social Friday night, but one to be very careful with, especially in view of tomorrow’s energy coming strongly into focus.

Saturday, Feb. 12—High cautionary energy from yesterday remains very much with us through today. Reread and apply carefully. Another major energy today is even more cautionary and is among the most dangerous of combinations. Although not in its strongest form, it should be taken seriously nonetheless. Beware of secret and coercive activities up to and including violence. Do not let minor disputes escalate, and under no circumstances allow yourself to be drawn into altercations with strangers. This is not a day to mess with anyone in any way. Of course, most people won’t be caught up in the worst of this, but you do not want to be among those who are. Late Friday-night social scenes will be highly energized into today’s predawn, but remain mindful of the cautions, for those not embroiled in the cautionary energy moods will improve through the evening and the late night. This should be a high-energy social Saturday night, but again, be careful.

Sunday, Feb. 13—The high cautionary energy from yesterday will linger through today. Reread and apply carefully, and do not be among those caught up in it. Another major energy coming into focus through today is much more positive. This energy is great for any activity involving communication, transportation, thinking, teaching or learning. It is also very good for negotiation and coming to long-term agreement. Late Saturday-night social scenes will be highly energized well into today’s predawn. Have a great time, but do remember the cautionary energy and watch for those responding to it. Good moods should dominate the daytime right on through much of the evening. Watch for a potential downturn in the later evening, and be aware of tonight’s short moon void of course period. It runs from 9:17 until 11:46, when the moon enters Cancer. At that point, the energy will lift, and general moods will tend to become more sensitive, protective and nurturing.

Monday, Feb. 14—Those who got caught up in the cautionary energy from the past few days may experience fallout through today. Most of us will not be among them, but try to be understanding and supportive of those who are. For them, there may be several days or longer of recovery. Yesterday’s positive energy remains very much with us through today. Reread and apply well, making the best possible use of it. Aside from major energy, scattered minor cautions exist through the day. Watch the mid-predawn for minor irritability. The early morning may have exaggerated emotional responses. Try to take a cooperative approach, and avoid coercive attitudes and aggressiveness from the midday through the mid-afternoon. The early evening has more minor irritability, the later evening contributes relationship issues, and the late night spaciness. This is clearly a day for some good choices at every turn.

Tuesday, Feb. 15—Be aware of three major energies today. The first can bring problems to relationships and social situations, especially where recreational substances are overindulged and the otherwise out of it are involved. Watch for spaciness, confusion and misunderstanding. The second is very good for initiating anything having to do with meditation, prayer or other spiritual activity. Be open to the intuitive process, pay attention to dreams, and listen for the still, small voice. Follow guidance that you receive. The third stimulates a great deal of activity in the realms of communication, transportation, thinking and learning. Make good use of this, but watch for a tendency to get carried away and try to do and say too much. Don’t make promises that may prove difficult or impossible to deliver on. Minor energies are of no help today. Watch for scattered minor irritability here and there from the late predawn well into the late night.
