Forecast for Feb. 11-24
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
Venus transiting through Pisces from Feb. 11-March 6 heightens idealism (and fantasy) in relationships. It can also bring out your inner muse for creative inspiration. Mercury dancing with serious Saturn on the 12th favors analytical discussions and financial agreements. Next, expect a new round of socializing after the New Moon in friendly Aquarius on the 13th. Scientific and humanitarian endeavors are also energized. Just watch out for the quarrelsome Mercury-Mars opposition on the same day. Random acts of kindness are the theme for the compassionate Sun-Neptune conjunction on the 14th. Then romance takes over during a merger of Venus and Jupiter on the 16th. Artistic ventures are also favored. Finally, spiritual and philanthropic activities get a boost after the Sun enters compassionate Pisces on the 18th.
