Happy Love day! Single or Partnered this day is meant to celebrate Love. Love is desperately need in this world right now. Self – Love as well as Love for Gaia and all her inhabitants. When you step back, it’s pretty magical and amazing.
Onto the planets – Almost all of 2021 (except for mid-August to September) Saturn and Uranus are challenging each other. However, on February 17th, the first of three, Saturn is exactly square with Uranus. This is boundary loving Saturn challenging freedom loving Uranus. But the intriguing thing is Saturn is in progressive Aquarius and Uranus is in conservative Taurus.
What this means is all of 2021 society as a whole and personally if it effects your natal chart will be dealing with testing our need to be free and innovative versus our habits, structures, and stability. Ideally the best way to work with this energy is striking a balance between the old structures and the new innovations. Setbacks are usually temporary and lead to new creative paths if you do not fall prey to frustration. This year is not about revolution but reinvention. Also, Mercury is still in retrograde until February 18th, so continued to Review, Reflect and Revise until then.
Now to this week’s artist, Brooke Didonato (@brookedidonato). Didonato portraits feel incredible relevant as we deal with being homebound as a collective, and the push and pull of freedom and stability. Her art is whimsical vignettes of self-exploration in the spaces we live and in our intimate relationships. She has her viewers pondering about the trappings of societal self in our personal spaces as well as the entangling though life giving elements of our intimate relationships.
We spent 2020 facing who we are in a more intimate world. We cannot travel, party, or socialize to escape ourselves. In fact, many of us brought our outer world to our intimate space. These interactions hopefully made you more aware of what makes you tick or have ticks. Whether you have mastered baking or woodcraft, or now cannot eat another loaf of bread and have a partial constructed table. This year has been a lesson on learning what our inner boundaries, needs and wants. Where either we have run up against or finally feel comfortable in our nests.
Light and Love

P.S. Signs with an * it is a big week for you. Aquarius this is a perfect time to get an Astrological Tarot Reading for your coming year. And Leo it is your halfway mark for your birth year, so if you need a Planetary Reading for a check in now is the time.
Aries
Four of Swords – Your well is near empty and you are not realizing it. This week you need rest and relaxation. Your muse advises you to pour a bath or a beer and listen to some soothing music. Take time this week to tune out, so you can tune in with more ease.
*Taurus
Judgment – The Muse of Metamorphosis has come to help you with your itch for planting/harvesting off season. She advises there is no time like the present to start this change. However, this transformation takes time, for there is an internal transformation that needs to happen first. Find moments where you can spend time with your “pupa.” Ask it what new innovated form it wants to transform into. How can you create a “you” or project that tells a new story, modernizes the world, lives a new life? Patience is key this week. Motto: Change happens from the inside out.
Gemini
Ace of Wands – The Muse of Inspiration is here. You can start any project this week especially creative ones. Inspiration will gush if you can get yourself to sit down and let it flow. Think, color and/or dance outside the box this week to connect with this muse.
Cancer
Ten of Wands – How much responsibility are you carrying? The Muse of Burdens is here to help you with that load. She advises to put down at least three items on your list and leave them for next week. Prioritize the rest, and lastly do one thing to completion. Unless you hit a roadblock, then put that item last on your to-do list. You will find that the tasks you let go might be picked up by someone else or lose their urgency.
Leo
Three of Coins – Last week the Muse of Healing and Hope proved you some easter eggs of positivity. They showed you the world is not totally lost, and you are not broken, a misfit or “an ugly duckling.” This healing vibe continues this week with the Muse of Foundations. Take this week to still re-coup but this energy also nudges you to feather your nest and set of some foundational work to maintain your health and heart. Physically this means tend to your body like sorting out your diet/exercise, emotionally this could look like re-establish connections with friends and mentally creating space and time to rejuvenate.
Virgo
King of Swords – The Muse of Long-term planning is here with calendar in hand. Take this week to do a check in with your plan for a year, 3 years, and 5 years from now. Is what you doing today setting you up for where and who you want to be in 2026?
Libra
Queen of Coins – The Muse of Lavishness is here. Lavish is defined as to bestow in great amounts. This Muse reminds you that life is meant to be lived with zest. This week make sure you indulge all your senses. Your motto: Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death! So c’mon live! Rosalind Russell in Auntie Mame
Scorpio
Page of Wands – This week the muse of innovation is peeking over your shoulder egging you on to be more you. To let your freak flag fly without censorship or guilty. She reminds you that you are unique, and that uniqueness is need on Earth at present. The World is creating new structures this year, this week it is vital you are part of that change.
Sagittarius
Ten of Swords – This week can be filled with nastiness, roadblocks, and failings. The key to navigate this energy is to listen to your intuition. If it is hard to get out the door, wait 15 minutes before leaving. You feel the back of your neck hair’s raise up, don’t’ go down that street. Or people are being rude, walk away. Think of these incursions as a boot camp for intuitive thought.
Capricorn
Five of Coins – This week’s energy could have you at a loss. This can be a literal loss – like you cannot find your keys or you lose money, or it can be a metaphysical loss. Either way the challenge is not to make it any loss an existential crisis. Think of this more as a short lived pause and an exercise on asking for help. Whether that help comes from outside or inside it will decrease the struggle if you ask for it.
*Aquarius
Emperor– Your second higher Arcane card for your birth year. The first was the Muse of Temptation testing your integrity and how you define yourself. This correlates with Jupiter- planet of expansion and Saturn planet of structures interacting with your sun pretty much all year. Think of it like your final exams for old structures and constructs – things you have already experienced but now are being tested on what you have learned. Once you finish you can innovate into your next reincarnation with the Muse of Building and Expanding. This second energy supports construction in the coming year. The key to this energy is to have a good blueprint and budget for what you want to build. Innovation grounded in reality.
*Pisces
Death – Last week the Muse of Awakenings wanted to image your goals and self going forward. The challenge was not focusing solely on the material plane wants, but what you want to metamorphize into. She advised getting in touch with your spirit guide/animal and having a conversation on transformation. Or creating a vison board composed of only colors and feelings. Luckily, you can continue that exercise to support your first energy for this birth year – the Muse of Organic Change. This year your Muses want you to start creating elements for goals/life/persona that you are metaphorizing in. The keys to working with this energy are letting go of what is not working, planting seeds to what you want to happen, and then having the patience and tenacity of gardener. This year is about being in tune with and working with natural cycles and seasons to make
Two of Swords – The energy this week advises now is the time to make some decisions. The challenge is that it feels like you are surrounded by mists of uncertainty. Sadly, it is not going to get any better this week and stagnation might become an overlying issue. So, this muse advises just make a choice left or right, move. You can always retrace your steps or continue. Have faith in yourself. 
*Tower – The Muse of the Tower is knocking, and you need to listen to her. Something(s) is not working in your life. This Muse of Kali is here to help you identify it. What have you been trying that is not working because it is too dogmatic, strict, or rigid? The challenge is you cannot blame this on others or your environment. This is about how you are coming at something, and if you continue to go on this path, the Tower will shake your world to make the change for you. Get ahead of this potential seismic downfall, be flexible, open and change things up. 
Two of Swords – Last week the Muse of Seclusion had you contemplating what needs to shift for the eclipsed full moon in your sign on November 30th. I hope you did your homework because this week is primed for making decisions to start on the path of 2021 before the rest of the signs. If you did your work, then then the challenge of choosing will come easily. If you didn’t, you’ll have to make a leap of faith. For the lesson either way is realizing the movement is more important than which direction you are heading. 
Knight of Cups – The energy this week is calling on your superpower of being in touch with your emotions. If you can channel them into your creative work, you will gallop into this week. The challenge is you will be wearing your heart on your sleeve, but no worries your emotions are like the rain – play in their puddles. 
Four of Wands – The energy this week centers in your home. This is a great week to make your abode comfier, inviting, and/or flexible. This can look as simple as getting some good smelling candles, fresh flowers, a plant, getting that big TV you have been wanting or making an area a tech free zone. Make your lair a place that makes you purr when you come home. 
Four of Swords – This is a great week to find moments to relax. Your “well” as been drained and this is the week to find space and time to unwind and pay a bit more attention to your health. Take walks in nature, turn off the tech for half a day, or mediate. The challenge is putting your thoughts down for a bit. Your video/song this week: 
Seven of Swords – Pay attention to your gut instincts and not your head this week. Everything is not exactly as it seems. There are some hidden objectives, but it is not for you to ferret it out. A better course of action is to avoid it. Or if you must interact follow your instincts instead of trying to follow or find logic in it. 
Two of Cups – Relationships are the focus this week. Make time to spend with your people. You need to sort your emotions out and have a good laugh. The only challenge is making sure you pick your companies that fill your cups as equally as you do theirs. 
*Magician – Your first big card for your birth year. This is the energy of bring the divine down into the World, a card of manifestation. You have lying before you the tools you will need to do so, but you need a focus. Take this week to commune with your destiny, your purpose and then start to set your intentions. You have all year to manifest so no rush but use the energy this week to start setting up your goals. 
Nine of Cups – The energy to work with this week is contentment. As a sign goes you do best if you have something to do. You rest in the flow of work. The challenge is you also need to find places of contentment in space, time, and the stillness within the doing and not doing. For it is one in the same. 
*Wheel – The Muse this week has left breadcrumbs of fate for you to follow. Life has its ups and downs, as signs goes you all can see this very well. The challenge is not being too grounded nor too head in the clouds to see these signs. So, this muse suggests that you spend this time getting in touch with how you want to feel. Your feelings will guide you like a fairy dust trail. Do not worry the Willow Wisps will not lead you into the bog, this time. 
Knight of Wands – The energy to seek out this week is inspiration and awe. You are needing a recharge. Your spark of passion needs some fuel to keep the fire lit. Listen to music, dance, experience art, and/or be in nature. Do activities that make you zing. 
Nine of Wands – Boundary setting is the issue this week. To get things done and to find time to rest you are going to have to adhere to well set rules and regulations. Planning is also key. This is not a week to go with the flow. Orderliness is imperative.
*Chariot – Time to harness your emotions and start creating momentum. The places that you have once floundered are no longer a hindrance, for you have learned from your mistakes. What lays before you is the known. Now you have the experience to avoid the potholes on your path. So get a move on this week. Use this Mars energy to your advantage and get a head start on 2021. Your tale: The Three Princess of Whiteland, Norway.
*Tower – This is the second time you got the Tower this year. What have you not dealt with that is not working in your life? If this is the same thing that was not right back in May, get it fixed now because the third time around tends destroy to create movement. If you dealt with the May issue, then look for small cracks in your foundations. These usually have to do with the material plane, like not having a solid exercise regime, not liking your job, not have 6 months of savings or still in debt. You might need to make some sacrifices to mortar up the holes, but it is worth it in the end. Your tale: Rapunzel, Germany.
