Tapping unconditional love for you and others

By James Jarvis, M.A.

Saint Valentine is asking you to serve others this month by expressing the healing power of love. See yourself as a channel for unconditional love that is flowing through you. As you tap into this love for yourself you will be able to give it to others without feeling burdened or drained.

Since the planet Venus rules or is associated with the heart chakra there is an additional impetus to connect with others now that Venus goes direct again on Feb. 3 at 16 degrees Capricorn (4: 21 a.m.) and sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio Feb. 10-16. Connect with other like-minded souls for an opportunity to let down your guard so that you can be truly loved and appreciated.

Mars in Taurus quincunx Pluto in Sagittarius Feb. 8-10 presents an opportunity to direct your willpower into projects that serve others. But this combination can represent a time when your tolerance for others is at a breaking point! The way to deal with the intense martial energy of this aspect is to find a cause you believe in and take action. This will help shift the energy from frustration to empowerment.

With Mercury in Pisces journeying through the sign of Pisces from Feb. 8 – April 16 it’s time to re-envision your dreams. One of the most powerful ways you can do this is to access the imagination’s realm through journaling, drawing, meditation or even daydreaming.

Mars, the planet representing personal will, moves through the sign of Gemini from Feb. 17-April 14. Since Gemini is the sign that represents perception through the five senses, when Mars is in Gemini the challenge is to stay focused and present. Try making lists of what you have to do so you can focus on your priorities. Focusing on cleaning up mis-communications or finishing correspondence or writing is a perfect use of this transit.

The New Moon at 9 degrees Pisces on Feb. 27 (7:31 p.m.) completes the Moon’s voyage around the zodiac. With New Moon in Pisces you can surrender to this process by letting go emotionally. Going with the flow, immersing yourself spiritually and finding positive outlets for your compassion are all ways of tuning into this Moon cycle.

For Sun, Moon and Rising Signs

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The new moon in Pisces on Feb. 27 activates your ability to be in the right place at the right time. Trust the images you receive, particularly about future trends this month. Be in the moment and see what’s revealed.

Aries March 21-April 20: You may be aware of a bit of impatience or emotional uncertainty this month concerning financial matters. Take some time to breathe and relax. This will enable you to receive helpful intuitive guidance.

Taurus April 21-May 21: Venus retrograde is awakening your desire to create more joy in your life. Find out what you love to do and incorporate it into your schedule. This will help open your heart, which can’t hurt your relationships!

Gemini May 22-June 20: You could benefit from some sort of meditation or visualization practice right now. Your imagination and intuition are very open and will give you dividends if you’re willing to quiet your mind and listen.

Cancer June 21-July 20: Trusting your gut level or instinctual knowing is imperative. If you don’t speak your truth you might find yourself ruminating about it later. Your perspective is needed so those around you can see the bigger picture.

Leo July 21-Aug. 22: You may be feeling very expansive one moment and then very contracted the next. You’re being asked to balance your expansive, optimistic energy with your realistic side so you can create "sustainable growth".

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your normal way of analysis and sequential thinking may not be the best approach right now. Use your imagination and visualization skills to "think outside the box". New and creative solutions are waiting.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Getting to know and love yourself more is key this month. Healing comes from taking time to do things that are nurturing. If you don’t have one, set up a sacred space in your home that is grounding and just for you.

Scorpio Oct. 22-Nov. 21: You’re pretty much unstoppable this month. Your energy is very martial right now so be careful about impulsiveness. Remember to tune into the big picture or vision so you don’t get lost in the details.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 20: Has anyone ever accused you of being blunt? If not, you probably aren’t doing your job! This month is especially challenging as you are being asked to balance your power of perception with your compassion.

Capricorn Dec. 21-Jan. 20: Are you feeling a little unseen or under-appreciated right now? If only they knew what "a day without Capricorns" would be like! Become more aware of your natural leadership abilities and others will too.

Aquarius Jan. 21-Feb. 18: You are in a position this month to communicate your unique vision with your colleagues. Forget about how mis-understood you’ve been in the past. The time is right to share how things could be more ideal.
