The Accidental Astrologer:

Adventures in archetypal astrology

~ Chris Morgan  

Sun signs for February 16 – February 29, 2012 

Aries (March 21 – April 19) It is worthwhile to consider how your ambitions and values connect with the larger human community. Relationships may change but hopefully this serves to affirm your own individuality, and the individuality of others. Don’t get discouraged if communications seem strained. A more subtle understanding of your place in the world may result.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) It may, at last, be time for you to speak your truth to anyone who will listen, regardless of the consequences. If you have been suppressing your feelings to protect those closest to you, gently articulate to them what’s been on your mind. After all, you have to set limits in order to work within them. 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Whatever the situation, you light up proceedings with your flair and sparkling humour. There is warmth to your demeanour that makes others feel a sense of belonging and purpose when they are in your presence. For this reason, your attendance at various social functions will be requested repeatedly over the next several weeks.   

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) With full understanding of the resources at your disposal, the time is right to act decisively, and meaningfully shape your destiny. Trust your intuition and don’t be deluded by lovely words or sentiments. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, and you’re far too wise to be deceived by simple flattery.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) The personae you project is both powerful and laid-back, a result of your considerable physical charms and measured emotional disposition. People like the energy you bring to group enterprises and seek your input on important decisions. Don’t let any nagging esteem issues hold you back either - your opinion matters greatly.  

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) Wrap up any old business that’s been hanging over your head because your schedule is bound to get busier. Take advantage of any downtime - file your taxes, plan a summer getaway or clean the garage – because you may not have chance to do it later. Things are about to kick into overdrive and you should be prepared.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) If you choose to claim it, a new life awaits you this year, with fresh perspectives and purpose. As you take your first steps into this new life, don’t forget the lessons and hard won wisdom of the past year. Such knowledge will help you light up the corners of your psyche, which may have been darkened by insecurity, and it will fortify your spirit.  

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) You’re known for your intensity but you also appreciate a good time. Recently you’ve resisted opportunities for recreation and repose away from your normal routine - why not indulge yourself? It’s been a while since you’ve had a vacation anyways and a few days off could really do wonders.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) Everybody seems to have something to worry about except you. That’s not always the case though, and any sort of smug attitude you project will do little to endure you to your friends and family. It’s better to meet their anxiety with compassion and a mild temperament. Remind them gently that nothing lasts forever.    

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Any sort of reflection on the unconscious uses and abuses of power will yield real insight at this time. This understanding can be applied to many aspects of your life, from the personal to the political. It could also prove valuable when setting short and long term career goals.  

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) You can be both a particular and peculiar person when it comes to business partnerships. Fortunately, most of your associates appreciate the idiosyncratic approach you bring to workplace relationships, while your social intelligence is simply beyond reproach. In fact, there are times when you make these people feel better by just being around.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) Wherever you are, your mind is far away. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing – provided you’re not operating heavy equipment. Memories and dreams radiate a special luminescence now, as if lit from within. Many of them have special meaning for your life. To know their significance, study the symbols and patterns in your personal mythology.
