On the 19th, the Sun moves into Pisces at 1:18 am EST, making all newborns arriving at that time or later bona fide precious little Pisces. A little later, the Pisces Sun conjoins Pisces' ruling planet Neptune, making the babies born now super Pisces. On the 20th, the USA observes a national holiday, Presidents' Day, which is primarily used to mark down prices on overpriced items and rake in some extra cash. Sound cynical? Yes it does. Unless you watch Public Broadcasting, there is very little said about the presidents who've run this country since day one. TV is splattered with aggressive car and mattress sales, not the sort of dignified honorarium you'd hope for. On the 21st are Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday, and a New Moon in (you guessed it!) PISCES! This strongly suggests that the next couple weeks (at the bare minimum) are all about self-realization, a come to Jesus moment when you look at your anger and realize where it's coming from. Who's causing it? Who cares? The point is why are you reacting to it? How are you handling it? Anger is a loss of control – self-control. It's very primitive, part of the fight or flight mechanism that less evolved creatures than us live and die by. We allegedly are beyond that. Nip it in the bud when it comes creeping into your consciousness, burning your last nerve. The next two weeks are a Leo makeover, inside out. You restore your grandeur, dignity, and power by not stooping to stumblebums that used to set you off. You simply cut them off, probably in mid sentence by saying something along the lines of, "I don't engage in this sort of conversation." Do a 180 and exit the buffoon's space. You're free and clear of a golem. You have a chance to practice this "You, Sir, cease to exist in my world" on the 23rd when Mercury (communication) opposes Mars (anger, reactive fight or flight behavior, arguments, war). Practice putting mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional distance between the offending person, group, or situation and your noble self. Then thoroughly enjoy the remainder of this Leap Year 29-day February. The Sun (your ruler), Jupiter, and Pluto make sure of it, particularly on the 25th through 28th. Monthly touchstone: Black Tourmaline.
