PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY February 13 2023 to February 19 2023 Monday February 13 Alien Intelligence More Sally Fisher Art here. The SETI institute for detecting alien intelligence searches the heavens for radio signals from other worlds. Maybe someone on another planet is doing the same... and they haven't managed to connect because of the clamour we create! As Mercury begins exploring Aquarius this week, we'll all be scanning our surroundings and thinking about them differently. Meanwhile, as the Sun and Jupiter align, the more optimism we broadcast on Valentine's Eve, the better connections we'll find. Tuesday February 14 Valentine's Day More Sally Fisher Art here. It's Valentine's Day and love is in the air. With many restaurants already booked, and babysitters hard to find, there's always a risk that passion will be thwarted by practicalities. Yet the Moon's opposition with Mars, plus Venus and Neptune's approaching convergence, suggest that sweeping romance and emotional fulfilment are more than mere fantasies. The meeting of the Sun and Saturn brings the creativity to balance commitment and responsibility with spontaneity and heartfelt fun. Wednesday February 15 Lantern Festival More Sally Fisher Art here. It's the Lantern Festival, the final celebration of Chinese New Year. The festivities involve releasing lanterns into the night to symbolise letting go of old habits to gain a new sense of self. Meanwhile the Venus/Neptune link softens hearts and dissolves the protective barriers we erect, which effectively isolate us. Soulful connections can be created. It takes effort to let go of emotional burdens. But, if we can commit to a more positive approach to relationships, beautiful connections are possible. Thursday February 16 Venus and Neptune More Sally Fisher Art here. Following the Venus and Neptune convergence, it's the Sun and Saturn's turn to connect. If yesterday was about learning what our hearts must let go of, today we're being encouraged to visualise what we hope to build in its place. It's time to ask ourselves if we're ready to make the commitment required in order to turn wishful thinking into realistic expectation. By focusing on what's important, and remaining determined to make it work, there's little we can't achieve. Aim high today! Friday February 17 Making Plans More Sally Fisher Art here. They say it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. And with Mercury and Neptune making a tricky alignment today, it will be hard to convince other people to go along with any unusual plans. But this weekend, as Mercury links with Jupiter, there's no need to get bogged down in how thoughts and actions might be perceived. We don't need permission to follow our hearts. As long as we act with integrity, and communicate our reasoning, there'll be nothing to apologise for. Saturday February 18 Your Weekly Horoscope More Sally Fisher Art here. As Mardi Gras approaches and musicians in New Orleans warm up their instruments, Venus, moving this week into Aries, encourages us to express ourselves with passion. While most of us won't be joining musical parades dressed in fabulously multicoloured outfits, there will be opportunities to step out of our comfort zones and have fun. And, with Saturn's proximity to the New Moon, new ventures can be turned into lasting success. As long as we pace ourselves, the joy we experience this week can be integrated into our lives. Sunday February 19 Your Week Ahead Love Horoscope More Sally Fisher Art here. Remember, your Love Forecast today does not just cover romance.
