Those born around 19th<\/sup> February have, as was mentioned in a recent blog, a great deal of confusion going on at the moment.\u00a0 An example of this is the President of Argentina, Cristina Kirchner, who has Neptune transiting her Sun at 0 degrees Pisces right now.\u00a0 Astrologically her state of mind would be described as confused, although she may not think so.\u00a0 It certainly seems to have a touch of Neptunian paranoia\u2026She has gained ground politically in recent times, with Neptune and Chiron forming trines to her Neptune and Saturn in the last decanate of Libra.\u00a0 As well as her Neptunian process, she also has Pluto squaring her Mars at the moment, firing up her desire to act, which is resulting in the current move to rekindle the Falkland conflict.\u00a0 The original conflict in 1982 was a vehicle for Margaret Thatcher\u2019s Inner Warrior because she was experiencing a Mars Return at the time!\u00a0 This Mars Return was exactly trine the U.K. Ascendant. Cristina Kirchner followed her husband Nestor Kirchner into power as President.\u00a0 During his term of office, he managed to turn the Argentinian economy round from its parlous state.\u00a0 He then became Secretary General of the Union of South American Nations.\u00a0 The South American States (including Brazil and Chile) are now behind Cristina in her endeavours.\u00a0 Nestor Kirchner died of a heart attack in 2010 but some say his wife is an even more powerful political force.\u00a0 This week she announced that she would appeal to the U.N. over the matter.\u00a0 Certain points of the zodiac are particularly sensitive in connection with the Falklands conflict, though I do not have a chart for the Falklands themselves.\u00a0 Karmic involvement is shown by the Sun\/Mercury of the U.K. chart being conjunct the South Node of the Argentine chart.\u00a0 Individual entanglements include Margaret Thatcher\u2019s Nodal Axis square exactly the Argentine Jupiter, and certain aspects to Prince William\u2019s chart. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0People in the U.K. tend to feel passionately one way or the other on the issue of whether we should keep the Falklands: I remember arguments with friends 30 years ago on the subject, and indeed this household is currently split on the issue!\u00a0 But in a poetic twist Prince William has been cast as the knight\u00a0 in shining armour, flying to defend the area, and incredibly his natal Mars is exactly in the same position as Margaret Thatcher\u2019s, and therefore in the same relationship to the U.K. chart.\u00a0 However, he has more harmonious natural links with Argentina.\u00a0 And at this point in time Neptune is forming a Grand Trine with his natal Jupiter trine Sun (very apt for connecting with foreign islands).\u00a0 So hopefully his presence there might prove more constructive than it looks.\u00a0 It would be good if President Kirchner invited him to tea and found him to be a nice boy.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow a trine between Mercury and Saturn which occurs at tea time\u00a0favours ventures which have been well planned or thought through. \u00a0So\u00a0if you’re reading this today, Sunday, if you haven’t already done so\u00a0get yourself a plan! And if you already have a plan, think it through.\u00a0 It’s a good day for serious and realistic communication, so if you are\u00a0sitting face to face in discussion, have your bullet points ready and\u00a0don’t waste each other’s time. This marker of the story so far and\u00a0where you’re at is especially vital and poignant in relation to events\u00a0and aspects later in the week which complicate matters. \u00a0For in the\u00a0early hours of Valentine’s Day Tuesday (14th) Mercury enters Pisces.\u00a0 The collective mindset will change more radically than on the usual\u00a0annual ingress of Mercury to that sign around this time of year, because Neptune ruler of\u00a0Pisces is at that early stage of the sign. \u00a0Usually, it would indicate\u00a0a change from crisp, progressive thought, to a more mystical and\u00a0imaginative understanding. Instead we find ourselves going from mental flights to being plunged into depths of emotion which are then to be processed through our mental equipment, and some might have difficulty with that.\u00a0 Unless you have insomnia this is likely to take place during hours of sleep and may infiltrate through dream symbolism, e.g. flying and swimming dreams\u2026Then, unless you are an early riser, just as your consciousness is surfacing for the new day Mercury conjuncts Neptune, and intensifies the new process.\u00a0 No longer are you in a transition, with access to the previous mode of thought \u2013 instead, you are fully immersed and merged in the world of the emotions and imagination.\u00a0 Again, some might find this overwhelming, but stick with it.\u00a0 The third feature to note on Valentine\u2019s Day is Jupiter sextile Chiron.\u00a0 This lifts the vibration to an extent.\u00a0 It brings about a focus on healing, miracles and manifestation.\u00a0 If you are considering Valentine gifts for a loved one, I would recommend preparing two gifts, a material one on waking and a spiritual surprise one later in the day.<\/p>\n

Having got through the astrological schedules for Tuesday, we are faced with a square between Venus and Pluto on Wednesday (15th<\/sup>).\u00a0 All that hard work on your relationship on Tuesday, then a depth to plumb on Wednesday (take it slowly).\u00a0 The mental submergence in emotion of the previous day may leave you vulnerable or depleted for Wednesday\u2019s challenge, unless you have managed to rehabilitate through the Jupiter-Chiron miracle-process.\u00a0 So really, give yourself TLC on Wednesday, as you can\u2019t give it to anyone else in a depleted state.\u00a0 And someone may ask you for it, by teatime [Apologies for mealtime fixation on which to hang aspects].\u00a0 You may feel more confused or overwhelmed than ever.\u00a0 You feel you\u2019ve done your best, but your relationship(s) and\/or your finances (also Venus) don\u2019t look or feel how you\u2019d like them to!\u00a0 They are as they are, but you need to work a little more on your own process, remembering you can only do what you can to at any given time.<\/p>\n

Thursday (16th<\/sup>) brings the opportunity to look at things in new ways and see more facets of the picture.\u00a0 Though Mercury is still immersed in Pisces and conjunct with Neptune, it now joins with Chiron in Pisces to look at mental health and psychological issues you may not have considered.\u00a0 This may initially be challenging or even shocking, but by afternoon tea you have the confidence and mental buoyancy to deal with this new angle, through a sextile between Mercury and Jupiter.<\/p>\n

At the end of the week on Saturday (18th<\/sup>) we have two helpful influences to lift us from the pressure encountered earlier in the week.\u00a0 In the afternoon, Sun trines Saturn and the plans initiated at the beginning of the week can flourish \u2013 you can put your whole heart into them.\u00a0 Then in the early evening Mercury sextiles Pluto and everything you\u2019ve struggled with over the week can come together in useful and meaningful productivity \u2013 the emotional depth combining with constructive communication: while you thought you were drowning, you were learning the tools of success.<\/p>\n

This morning we are saying goodbye to Whitney Houston, whose health struggles are well-documented in her birthchart.\u00a0 But my abiding fond memory about her is the song \u201cI will always love you\u2026\u201d which was put on replay very loudly by our next door neighbor for about three months when we first came to live in Norfolk twenty years ago.\u00a0 It reminds me that she is the champion Valentine balladeer.<\/p>\n
