Astro Insights on VDay as promised

k....most astrologers are saying the planets are wonderfully aligned today

here are some excerpts from various sites, astrologers i respect for their insights and explantations


Some people are happily single. They really don't want a life partner or even a 'love interest' and they resent the implication that, if they haven't got one, there must be something wrong with them. Others are in stable, committed, long-term relationships which contain little by way of classic "romance". This, though, happens to perfectly suit both people. Then, there are the folk who don't get on especially well with their partners... yet who have good reasons for trying to "weather the storm" for a while. All these people get a bit of a raw deal at this time of year. It's not just the shops that are full of cards, hearts and flowers... the horoscope columns too, can be insensitively twee. In all my forecasts this week, I have tried to be conscious of this... and to emphasise the kind of love life that we can all attain and enjoy. The kind that comes to us when we make a conscious decision to start "loving life"!

February 14: Venus sextile Jupiter, Mercury conjunct Uranus, Sun sextile Pluto Once a year, everyone's fancy turns to thoughts of love -- not simply to romance, although that's definitely the featured item on the menu, but to love of every kind. This is that time, and the heavens are in the mood to help you make it a day to remember. First off, lovely lady Venus, who virtually owns this day, has decided to spend it with her very favorite guy -- generous Jupiter himself, who never did know when to quit, in any department. No matter who you're out to spoil, with these two behind the steering wheel, you'll undoubtedly do a fine job of it. You'll also do a surprising job of it, since cerebral Mercury has teamed up with Uranus, the king of surprises, to make sure your loved ones have absolutely no idea what's coming. Added to the mix is the Sun in startling Aquarius (Uranus's own sign, who's equally skilled at surprises) working together with intense, sensual Pluto. If you're attached, take a pass on the chocolates and the sappy sweet card. Think rose petals that lead from the front door to the candlelit dining-room table, decked out with even more roses, candles and every possible food you know your sweetheart adores. This only happens once a year. Make it ultra-special.

Cupid Can't Keep Up ...With this heavenly Valentine's energy!
Oh la la ... love is certainly in the air on the 14th as Venus sextiles Jupiter. Also on the 14th, Mercury conjuncts Uranus and the Sun sextiles Pluto, adding surprises and sensuality to the day's menu. If you have to return to practical matters by the 17th, rest assured that efficiency will skyrocket with Mars's move into Gemini. But don't worry: The Sun's arrival in sensitive Pisces on the 18th will be just the thing to calm things down a bit! For more in-depth info on what these transits mean and how they'll affect your week, read up on The Stars This Week.

Well, everyone's getting an A+ on this Valentine's Day quiz as the planets team up to make any romantic dream a reality! When Venus sextiles Jupiter early in the day, lighthearted fun with friends is guaranteed. Romantic surprises more your speed? Mercury's meeting with quirky Uranus will bring you just that. And for the candlelit-bubble-bath crowd, the Sun's sextile to sensual Pluto has things covered.
The Love Factor
Valentine’s Day promises to pack a few surprises, but all told they will be pleasant and turn out well. Mars and Venus are heading toward their third of 3 trines, a relatively rare pattern. Then, in October they conjoin in early Scorpio, making this a great year for love.http://www.terrylamb.net/latest_forecast.htm

Daily Cosmic Calendar

For a change -- and I have monitored Valentine's Day cycles for nearly 25 years! -- the romantic frequencies are extremely high and meritorious. The good news stems principally from a Venus-Jupiter sextile activating Capricorn and Scorpio (5:26AM PST) and a harmonious lunar trine to Venus in earth signs (10:06PM PST). These two flowing Venusian alignments are just what the doctor ordered for favorable love connections to form throughout the day and night. Amplified by a provocative and exciting Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Pisces (7:34AM PST) and highly productive Sun-Pluto sextile (6:40PM PST), this day has record-book potential in a glowing way. Make note of the fact that Mercury is uniting with its higher octave planet Uranus. The potential here for extraordinary insights is off the charts. The only thing that can bring you down is letting the lower qualities of lunar Virgo rule the day. That can come in the form of critical comments about a loved one or yourself, and being cantankerous and over-analytical. When happiness is within your grasp, don't become your own worst enemy and destroy it before you experience its warmth and joy.
