Thursday Forecast, 16 February 2012

*Back to Basics, then Adventure*

If I had to rank them in order of social luck or fun times, I would put today at the top, Friday second, and Saturday in the basement. In case that helps with your planning.

The "block" in love life, in case you have noticed it, has to do with Venus's only aspect being her square with Pluto (and fading conjunction with Uranus). This is tough love, not sweet and clinging love. It's realistic, perhaps coarse, without illusions, willing to pay for affection so long as it's understood that this is a transaction, not a commitment.

I would expect better romantic karma in March when Venus and Mars will be in a trine (especially March 7-20). You might mark that on your calendar or memory.

An adventurous or gambling trend turns up today (partly the moon in Sagittarius well-aspected but other factors also, Mars tri-octile Jupiter and sun conjoining Neptune). Of course you know from your mother's knee the conventional advice to be careful, so I shall not repeat it (but I just did). Gambling as a game not a career is something else again, which might be fun, or just any game.

Somebody you like probably sees things egotistically, not realizing how much. He or she has the final answer, the right opinion, and no one else does. This is so hard to take that it may inspire you to make sure you are not doing the same to anybody.

You probably want company, and would go most anywhere to get some of it, even if with strangers.

A hidden factor in your career hopes or strategies is struggling along, backward it seems, as if you were trying to recapture something you can't quite get, but the effort is worth it no matter how long it takes. Your aim is being sharpened and perfected. The target may be the same, but your perception of it is improving. So your concentration could be paying off. Probably nobody else will see this yet.

Things are on the move and this can be interesting, providing variety. Meanwhile you have to keep working on necessary details, part of the time, and then get back to the changing, intriguing scene.

Someone beautiful, genteel, kindly, too good for this world, may come into your awareness. You want to be discriminating and gentle with this person so as not to hurt her in any way, or her or his sensibilities, and so need to be aware of what was said in paragraph 2.
