Your Weekly Horoscope By Element - Feb. 2-8, 2009

We are only one week away from the second of five long-lasting oppositions between restrictive Saturn and radical Uranus that began last fall and will define the cosmic landscape into 2010. This energy is power packed and bring in surprising changes, sudden, swift and long lasting, foreshadowing the larger issues we must face. We can gain intuitive understanding of what's happening by observing our feelings, yet we may have difficulty putting our awareness into practical use. (We can expect a very upsetting event to occur regarding some decisions coming down from the White House over the next few days, culminating with a market crash on or around February 11^th. This could initiate in the Amero Dollar.)

Mars Enters Aquarius this week and will going to bring a burst of energy to all things Aquarian. Think of groups, teamwork, innovation, change, rebellion, and the Internet. Mars in Aquarius will usher in a period of greater experimentation and risk. With Mars in this sign, it is all too easy to rush into things and make changes without any forethought or planning. The desire to escape boring or limiting circumstances can become so powerful that anything seems preferable to spending another day stuck in the dead zone. However badly you want to escape, it helps to make changes slowly, step by step. Doing so will enable you to make a smooth transition rather than throwing the baby out with the bath water. Now is a great time to make a fresh start along with the beginning of the Chinese New Year!

The Air Signs

Aquarius, Gemini, Libra

Swings and roundabouts make us dizzy. Life is bursting with meaning and proving to be very exciting. You have many opportunities to expand in any direction you choose. Jupiter will be in Aquarius (an Air sign) until early 2010, bringing you good fortune and faith in yourself. Mars moves into Aquarius on Wednesday, which is going to increase your determination to succeed. You now have greater control of the reins of your life and can steer your destiny in any direction you choose. This is a good point to reflect on your priorities and to decide on your most important goals for the year ahead. If you develop a sound strategy now, you will be more likely to be successful later on. However, the big event of the week is when Saturn moves to oppose Uranus on Thursday. Saturn is currently retrograde, and this may have coincided with issues associated with joint financial affairs, such as taxes, mortgages, and any loan payments. You may get insights into how you can bring about changes and so overcome problems. On the other hand, you may get so fed up of toeing the line that you decide to go on a crazy shopping spree and so lose your credibility altogether. Be easy on yourself!

Your Love Week - Air Signs:

You place a high value on friendship, but anything goes when it comes to love affairs, right? Well, this week that love affair needs your friendship more than your passion. She or he has issues that require an ear not a bed — understand? Some kind words and friendly gestures will ground your partner enough to get him or her to talk through it. Then, watch out! Love sparks will fly again in the coming weeks. Are you satisfied? You very well should be, because Lady Luck is shining down on your love chakra and physically and emotionally intensifying each moment of your love affair. Enjoy it! The rough spell is dissipating at the end of the week you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Let him or her spoil you, would you? You deserve it.

The Fire Signs

Aries, Leo, Sagittarius

Communication continues to be an important issue and one that will open up many opportunities for you. As long as Jupiter remains in Aquarius, it's essential to sell yourself at every opportunity. If you work in sales, you're going to do very well. This is going to be a very successful year for you. The same is also true if you work with computers and the Internet. Make sure that you have a website, blog, or online presence in some shape or form. This is going to be very necessary to future progress.

Your Love Week - Air Signs:

Now that your financial woes are under control, why not take that special someone out for a night on the town? This week shows nothing but positive energy with love, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of this alignment. The passionate rewards will all be worth it! When you're hot, Fire Signs, you're hot! Don’t let brutal honesty get in the way of your relationship this week. Take heed! You may have to sugarcoat things for a few days until the planets are in your favor. The object of your affections is feeling very emotional as of late. Even though he or she is usually smitten with your honesty and precision, a bit of coddling may be in order instead. Hit the sack you two!

The Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Is this Real or only my Imagination again? Money earned over the past few weeks should come your way now, above and beyond what you usually receive. It may relate to a group project of some kind, or, at least, something accomplished within the context of a partnership. Romantic matters should also be going well, and don't be surprised if a relationship moves on to the next level of commitment. The Moon indicates happiness and good fortune through relationships of all kinds. Relationships seem to be the big issue. Saturn is currently retrograde, and this may be causing some upsetting and scattered feelings in your love relationship. This matter has been ongoing for some time but may not yet have been resolved. Saturn moves to oppose Uranus on Thursday, which may provide insights into how you can bring about the necessary positive changes. You don't have to do this all by yourself. You can get the help of other experts to enable you to make wise choices for yourself and your lover. The other major focus is on the power of your imagination, so don't underestimate its messages and affect. You can make use of it to bring about changes in any area of your life you choose, including your relationships. There are a number of ways you can do this. You can use visualization, hypnosis, affirmations, or a combination of all of these. There are many ways to tap into the power of the subconscious mind. Just make sure you don't waste this golden opportunity. Mercury is encouraging you to interact with others and have a ball. Right now, you have no shortage of friends.

Your Love Week - Water Signs:

Do you feel lost when it comes to love as of late? Do you feel like you're swimming toward the surface of nothing? Well, so does that special someone. You need to open your mouth and express this or this love squabble is going to spiral out of control. It can be rectified. In fact, passion will ignite with some communication. Don't delay, Water Signs. Your love life depends on it! This week will be anything but chilly. You may be asking yourself what wonderful thing you did to deserve all of this passion. Well, like everything else, it will cool to a simmer by next week, so enjoy the heat of each moment while it lasts. She or he will appreciate it.

The Earth Signs

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

Earth Signs, you have a lot more faith in your body and its ability to get well and heal from most problems. You may also feel more confident about your job and finding work that's more interesting, something that challenges you and enables you to reconnect with your enthusiasm for life. Over the coming weeks, the right information will come your way, enabling you to move on if you want to. You may also find useful snippets at synchronous moments when surfing the Internet. Make good use of them. If other areas of your life don't seem to be working out the way you want them to, then expect a revelation on Thursday.

Your Love Week - Earth Signs:

Forget rhyme or reason this week, Earth Signs, and throw it all up in the air and see where it lands. You'll be surprised at how gratifying this will be for you. In matters of the heart, this will undeniably strengthen that passionate bond that you've worked on so hard. In fact, that special someone will come running back for more! If you’re unattached, then live, will you? Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Your soul mate awaits you in the most unlikely of places. So stop being a recluse and get out there and be seen. That stale relationship needs to be severed. Just do it! You need to move on and open yourself to the destined one in your stars. Love will prevail.
