What a dramatic week! Those of you who know how to take advantage of opportunities, this is your moment in the Sun. You get support for your projects and plans as Mars, recently direct and raring to go, tri nes the Sun on February 14. Then, on February 16, the Sun casts a big spotlight on the north node, lighting the way to your future. On February 17, the relationship planet Venus enters Aquarius, urging you to put down your work and get together with friends.

February 14: Sun trine Mars

Sometimes you feel an immediate rapport with people, other times it seems no matter how hard you try, you just can't get along. When the life-giving Sun in the air sign Aquarius forms a supportive trine with Mars in communicative Gemini, you have the necessary ingredients to get your plans off the ground. People give you the help you need, so don't be shy about asking for it!

February 16: Sun conjunct north node

There are times to reap, and times to sow. Within days of a solar eclipse, the Sun will either conjunct the north node (the future) or the south node (the past). Because last week's Aquarius solar eclipse was at the north node, you receive celestial help. The Sun energizes that assistance, and you'll know which steps to take next.

February 17: Venus enters Aquarius

This is a great transit to connect with like-minded people. Venus is the planet of relationships, and when in friendly Aquarius, you'll feel like spending time with people who share your values. If you're looking for a relationship, attend events that promote a cause near and dear to your heart. If you are married or in a committed relationship, look for opportunities as a couple to make new friends.
