Your horoscope for the week ahead: The Saturn-Uranus alignment will help you push your plans ahead

Last week brought a substantive boost from the New Moon in revolutionary Aquarius. It gave you a big push, perhaps bigger than you know, into a brave new future. Saturn and Uranus will engage in an invigorating square this Wednesday. It is the first of three in this ground-breaking year. The next one will come on June 14 and the third on December 24. 

On Thursday, the Sun moves into the mutable sign of Pisces. It marks the transition from winter to spring. The birds have begun their springtime mating song. It's time to collect their nest-building materials again. 

The First Quarter Moon takes place on Friday when our waxing Night Luminary becomes a right-sided semi-circle. The seeds of last week's New Moon are starting to blossom. 

On Sunday we will happily see the end of the three-week Mercury retrograde. The wing-footed trickster will have a few more laughs at our expense by waving his wand and causing glitches to travel, transportation and communications. Humour him. He thinks favourably of a person who can laugh at themself. Give it a few days and then you can carry on in total action-mode with your work, plans and strategies. It will be all systems go.  

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, February 15, 2021.

Aries

Knocks to your confidence have impelled you to lower certain expectations. Setbacks you experienced were tough to accept but the pain has been good for you. Those same setbacks are firing up your desire to battle on. You deserve the best and that's exactly what you should demand out of life. There is something you need to know. The Saturn-Uranus alignment will wake up your awareness to the depth of your passion. It will endow you with all the power you need to attain something that means so much to you. This means that you will encounter clarity this week. And you will recognize it and act upon it. 

Taurus

Absence, it is said, makes the heart grow fonder. That is arguably true, but there are still more benefits. For example, it can also foster the development of strength and resilience in the face of want. It is through our love relationships that we develop emotionally and psychologically. A certain romantic difficulty will be resolved in a way that brings you great happiness. The Saturn-Uranus alignment will make you stronger, wiser and infinitely more powerful. What will really improve matters for you this week is not so much a change of circumstance as a change of attitude. No great sacrifice is needed to do what now really needs to be done. 

Gemini

You are striving hard to reach a goal but progress is slow. It feels as though you are wading through molasses. Yet, if you were only to stop and make a few adjustments, you could be accomplishing far more. Just make the most of your abilities and what's most likely to bring true happiness and satisfaction. There is no time to start wondering whether you are doing the right thing. No matter what seems hopeless, you'll see a real change for the better soon. The Saturn-Uranus alignment will bestow you with the rare chance to learn a valuable lesson most impressively and with surprising speed. 

Cancer

Events are unfolding at a rollercoaster pace. There is barely any time available to take it all in. There's a lot to get done and not enough time to do it. Slow things down. Enjoy the present moment. You are in the process of crossing the threshold into a new and wonderful chapter in your life. Cherish every moment, even the difficulties for they are propelling you toward the accomplishment of a huge success. You are summoning strength in preparation for a big breakthrough. It's a pleasant one and a very positive one. The Saturn-Uranus alignment is directing you toward an encounter with the full extent of your own power. 

Leo

Change has a way of creeping up on us unawares when we don't pay careful attention to what's happening under our nose. Don't begrudge an unwanted development. It's a valuable lesson in trusting your feelings. What you don't like now will soon turn into a blessing. The planets are guiding you toward an inspiring new direction in your life's mission. The Saturn-Uranus link is pulling and pushing you to great happiness. Something is expected of you. You know already what you think and what you feel. All you have to do in order to attain great success is to be yourself and to believe in yourself.  

Virgo

Avoid making any reckless decisions, at this time, no matter how much you are pressured. If you feel an urge this week to take some sort of bold gamble, make sure you are fully aware of the full story and the consequences of your decision. Be honest with yourself and do what's right. Don't be rushed even if there is pressure to make a hasty move. The Saturn-Uranus alignment is inspiring you to spread your wings but only once you have viewed all the facts. You are close to getting something you have long wanted. 

Libra

There are times when the big things in life cause us much less aggravation than the little ones. We can't lose our temper when we are held up in a queue that stretches around the block. We have to adapt and make the most of it. You've been soldiering on with an arduous and thankless task, but you've shown your mettle in exemplary style. Various factors now are putting you under emotional pressure. The situation is sharp but it's also due to be short. No long-term problems will stem from it. The Saturn-Uranus alignment will guide you through effortlessly. Everything is going to work well. 

Scorpio

To gain an immediate release from the pressures we face, we might be inclined to do whatever is easiest to extricate ourselves. But using a quick fix in the short term will only bring more trouble further down the line. There is no substitute for hard work as you well know. It is better to carry out a demanding task now and have peace of mind forever. The Saturn-Uranus alignment is providing plenty of proactive energy to achieve what you desire. You face a situation which needs fixing, yet you fear that no matter what you do, you'll never properly make sense of it. That's wrong. What you need is to be deeply patient, and you'll be fine. 

Sagittarius

The distress and anxiety you have been enduring will ease as you finally come to an important understanding of a particular conundrum. Thanks to the Saturn-Uranus alignment a moment of enlightenment will make you understand that there's another way of looking at this issue. The breakthrough will come with the emergence of some positive fresh information that you've been waiting for. You feel impassioned, excited and determined. You are beginning to reach a series of clear conclusions, all of which are potentially very good. You will find a way of righting what is wrong — of that there is no doubt.

Capricorn

The more you look at a factor that you dislike, the more you dislike it. Mistakes happen, but they can also be undone. It should be said, really, that ultimately there is no such thing as a mistake. Everything that happens is meant to happen. Blunders can be magically turned into momentous turning points if we maintain a positive attitude. The Saturn-Uranus alignment will show you that you needn't be too mired in your past mistakes. You'll soon become aware that one of your biggest apparent gaffes has led to an immensely positive outcome. As a result, your future never looked better.  

Aquarius

There is plenty of thinking and talking about some big plans. It's all happening. It's all go! What is needed now is action. Rubber has to hit the road. Progress in a certain predicament must take place very soon. And there's no reason to think that it won't. The Saturn-Uranus connection assures you that success will undoubtedly come if you truly believe in what you are trying to achieve. Conditions are facilitating the rapid advancement of an important big dream. Stay calm and reasonable. You have all the self-discipline, wisdom and patience required to execute your plans perfectly. 

Pisces

So-called experts preach on every topic. Sometimes you wonder how some of them ever got to hold such respected positions. Truth is a rare and priceless virtue. It always has been. Don't let these so-called experts intimidate you. All things considered; you are doing fabulously well. Something in your life now is nearly sorted out. The Saturn-Uranus alignment has got you thinking that you may be setting your sights too low. Think big, but be very wise, thoughtful and imaginative. Trust your own expertise. You're the one who knows best.
