Horoscopes: Feb. 2017
This month, we call upon local performance artist Sarah Walker to channel the ancient wisdom of The Tarot to aid in our understanding of the past, present, and future as it relates to love and our relationships. Read on to discover your divinatory forecast as it is written in the cards.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
The Emperor (Reversed), Ace of Wands, Queen of Pentacles
Pay attention to what you've been absorbed with - most likely your own disorganization and selfish agenda. It's time for a change. Keep an eye out for an exciting new opportunity or fresh start this month, and make sensible choices to usher some comfort, security and stability into your life.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
The Magician, King of Wands (Reversed), Five of Pentacles
You have been blessed with intention and inspiration for personal growth. Keep riding that wave, and take action! Beware of risky moves and dishonest people. Follow your gut, and remember that you can (and should) rely on the support of trusted family or friends when times seem tough.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
Queen of Pentacles, Temperance, Two of Cups (Reversed)
Your current relationship or close friendship has been emotionally grounded, nurturing, and comfortable. As it continues to evolve, some negotiating, balancing, and healthy amounts of space will be needed to keep the channels of communication open and positive. Be careful not to bury your emotions or neglect your partner's feelings when life gets hectic.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
Knight of Pentacles, Six of Wands, King of Pentacles
A successful partner or dear friend has brought and will continue to bring stability and material security into the picture for you. Now is a good time to show your gratitude. Don’t let their ego and stubbornness get to you.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
Ace of Pentacles (Reversed), The Star, Knight of Wands
Your head has been in the clouds. You must pay closer attention to the needs of your body and mind. Don’t waste precious resources. The time is right for a new beginning that will bring healing and success, but you need to nurture yourself first. Passion and adventure is on the horizon.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
King of Pentacles, Page of Swords, Four of Swords
Your success has brought you wealth in life, love, and finances. Fresh ideas are coming your way, in the form of a new communication or understanding. Be sure to make time for some much-needed mental and physical rest when you need it – and you will.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Ten of Wands (Reversed), Judgment, Eight of Wands
These are cards of Fire, inspiration, and growth. You have been overtaxed, and have taken on too much in your current situation. Make sure your upcoming choices align with your ultimate goals, and prepare for some drastic changes. When change comes, it will come quickly, and it may just sweep you off your feet.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
The Emperor, Justice, The Hermit
Power, authority, and structure have been the name of the game for you recently; perhaps a father figure is involved. A decision is coming your way. Be sure to think logically, and find your center. The wisdom you seek lies within. Take some time to retreat from the situation and restore yourself.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
The Hermit (Reversed), Strength, Five of Wands (Reversed)
You may have been feeling antisocial lately, but don’t make solitude a pattern for too long. Reach within for the courage to make healthy changes that will improve your mental, physical, and spiritual strength. Use that strength to resolve some ongoing conflicts - burying them will only cause them to drag on. Seek out new challenges to bring excitement to your life and your relationship(s).
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
Ten of Cups, Five of Swords, The Moon
You are abundantly blessed surrounding family and relationships, enough to share those happy vibes with those around you. But nothing is perfect. There is an argument or issue bothering you, and you should carefully consider whether being "right" is worthwhile here. Pay attention to your dreams, feelings, and deep fears to fully understand why you are reacting so strongly. See this as an opportunity for personal growth.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Page of Wands, King of Pentacles, Ace of Pentacles
Your relationship situation has been exciting, adventurous, and energetic. You may find yourself craving more stability and material security these days. This is a good thing; stability can be fertile ground for growth. Certain opportunities and fruitful projects will begin to arise once you put down some roots.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
The Fool (Reversed), Knight of Pentacles (Reversed), The Empress
You have been passing up opportunities by not taking any risks, or you have been acting foolishly. You are finding yourself a bit stuck in your current situation. Pay attention to how you spend your time and energy, and take steps towards improvement, even if it seems overwhelming. In time, things will come together for you. Nurture yourself to unleash your full potential.
