The Astrology of Today - All Signs

February 10, 2012

The Sun is quincunx retrograde Mars today, and there can be some inner tension revolving around going after what we want - how to approach it is not clear. We may feel decidedly "out of sorts" as a result. Mercury semi-square Pluto can pile up more stress and pressure, possibly self-imposed, as we attempt to look for hidden or ulterior motives - another roundabout energy. The Moon is in detail-oriented Virgo until 2:55 PM EST, when it enters balance-seeking Libra. With the Moon opposing Venus and Uranus this evening, we may feel that others or circumstances are blocking our sense of personal freedom.

This Month: Aquarius

February 2012

You're personally popular this month, dear Aquarius. Others tend to have your best interests at heart. Your high spirits can lead up to an emotional declaration around the 7th. Money matters are generally good, but complicated at times in February. Differences in values can spark a conflict around the 23rd. While you're becoming decidedly more creative when it comes to making money, and your intuition tends to serve you well, the tendency to overlook important facts is strong as well. Prepare as much as you can in advance for delays and machinery breakdowns this month.

This Year: Aquarius

2012 Yearly Horoscope Overview

Jupiter continues to bring fullness to your inner world, family, and home life this year, dear Aquarius. You are expanding your feelings of comfort and warmth within yourself, and with family members. Some of you could be literally expanding your family, welcoming new "additions". From June forward, new opportunities to truly enjoy yourself through recreation, hobbies, and other amusements are likely to come your way. Romantic opportunities expand as well. You'll discover new outlets to express yourself creatively and playfully. For some of you, a friendship could turn into something more, or friends can be integral in exposing you to a new hobby, different and exciting forms of recreation, or romantic opportunities. Shared finances require extra attention in the first half of 2012, when much energy is spent sorting them out. The last quarter brings a rather sudden focus on professional matters - an area of life that has been less important for many of you in recent years. You'll have Saturn urging you to discipline yourself in your professional life, and Neptune spiritualizing your attitude towards money and possessions. These two influences might seem to conflict with one another, but you have the opportunity to make them work. Creative projects might be monetized or you could be bringing more imagination and creativity into the work you do. With the North Node in your career sector from September forward, and then Saturn there starting in October, circumstances will conspire to remind you of the importance of structure, responsibility, and reputation in your life. It's time to realign your goals with what's inside. Many of you will be making changes in the coming years so that your career path better reflects the principles closest to your heart. Love tends to be exciting in 2012, although June might bring some backtracking. In June, watch that you don't set yourself up for a disappointment with both love and money. Neptune leaves your sign for good (in this lifetime) early this year, and you're regaining a stronger sense of purpose and clarity. Energy levels should be stronger than they have been in recent years. 2012 brings more joie de vivre and the rekindling of passions and inspiration into your life.

This Year in Love: Aquarius

2012 Love Horoscope for Aquarius

In 2012, you continue to build your inner confidence until June, after which, you are more psychically ready to share it with others. Many opportunities for fun and games, recreation, romance, and entertainment arise from mid-June 2012 through the rest of the year and until June 2013. This is due to the transit of Jupiter, the planet of increase and abundance, through your romance and pleasure sector.

Love and romance may enter your life or current love relationships might be enhanced with good humor and warmth; and social engagements are likely to abound. For singles, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it is not necessarily a person who is "partnership material". Jupiter is good for bringing opportunities, but is also notorious for sometimes bringing too much of any one thing. For some of you, there could be more suitors than you can reasonably handle! For others, your attention to personal pleasure and fun could be seeping into the time you know you should be spending on other, less leisurely tasks. Overall, however, your openness to enjoying yourself and enjoying more casual relationships now can make 2012-2013 an unforgettably pleasurable period.

While Jupiter enters your romance sector in June, the month of June itself can be tricky when it comes to matters of the heart. Venus is retrograde from mid-May to the end of June, and this period affects everyone on some level. Because it occurs in your romance sector, your romantic life may hit a period of lull or retrospection. Some of you may be reminiscing about, or in contact with, someone from the past which interferes with the present!

Mars is moving through your intimacy sector from January to July. From January 23-April 13, Mars is retrograde. While Mars is retrograde, your enthusiasm for intimate and sharing matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems, complications, or setbacks in these areas of life. Joint financial projects or initiatives may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in personal ways. A lover or yourself may behave in an especially intense or obsessive manner. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Throughout Mars' transit, you'll be working on matters of give and take, and this can be tricky at times.

Other outer planet influences on your chart this year don't directly affect love sectors, but they nevertheless can indirectly impact your love life. Uranus, your ruler, continues to harmonize with your sign. Your interests are changing, and this can bring you into contact with new people. For those born in the third decan of the sign, Saturn harmonizes with your Sun until October, and others tend to find you more trustworthy and reliable.
