Weekly Forecast: February 11 – 17, 2024, Kelly M. Beard, 13 February 2024

2/13  ::  Venus (essence & natural beauty) ~sextile~ Neptune (consciousness & vision):

This energy links your authentic values & priorities with the realm of dreams, mysticism, and alternate dimensions. It offers you an opportunity to solidify your vision by simply tapping into the essence that you aspire to experience. By immersing yourself in the feeling associated with that vision, you pave the way for its physical manifestation. This energy instills belief in the realm of possibilities, fostering support for artistic expressions or active practices like crafting vision boards, using affirmations, and anything that refines your new vision of reality. While other planets focus on steps and strategies, Venus prioritizes the essence of Nature and Love. Neptune, likewise, is not concerned with ‘steps & strategies’. Instead, it encourages you to tune-in to the natural beauty surrounding you. Set aside your usual inner dialogue for a day or two (as soon as possible) to connect with inspiration guided by your own Heart and Soul—from the inside-out. This inner connection will guide your creative inspirations and allow you to align more deeply with your own true essence.

2/13  ::  Mars Enters AQUARIUS (until March 22nd):

Mars is currently in a dynamic process, steadily progressing toward a Retrograde in Leo/Cancer later in the year. Each stop along the way holds significant importance, serving as both an evolution and a preparation for the upcoming reset. Positioned in Aquarius, it is a time to break free from conventional thinking and shift your focus, seeking creative solutions and alternative paths or directions. This phase encourages a concentration on freedom, independence, and sovereignty. While Mars in Capricorn may seek structured stability, Mars in Aquarius desires a flexible structure and fluid stability, rooted in fundamental individuality. Embrace this period to explore radically different ideas, thoughts, and concepts, as creativity will overflow, generating a wealth of new possibilities. Take copious notes to capture these ideas for future implementation. The passion driving your ideas will propel you toward success, but it is crucial to maintain a natural flow and avoid forcing outcomes. This energy promotes quick movement, fast thinking, and spontaneous decision-making. Trust your intuition, as following it strengthens your instincts, even when the results are not exact. It is an ideal time for experimentation & improvisation. Any new ideas initiated now may have a global impact, so embrace innovation and progressiveness in your choices and decisions. Break free from the ordinary and do something different!

2/14  ::  Mars (desires, actions & choices) ~conjunct~ Pluto (death, rebirth & transformation):

This is an exceptionally potent activation, capable of producing magical results when channeled effectively. However, if the ego becomes the driving force, tragic outcomes are more possible. Positioned in Aquarius, it is a time to break free from the old ways of making our choices or taking certain actions, we need to do all of that in a new & different way going forward. Mars & Pluto activate the interplay between ‘lower will’ and ‘higher will,’ synergistically enhancing each other’s strength & potency. If you possess self-awareness and clarity about your objectives, this energy has the potential to propel you to new heights, providing boundless energy, power, and determination to achieve your goals. However, almost any form of restriction may trigger anger & frustration. To navigate this, anticipate limitations and activate your Inner Critical Creative Thinker. While you might encounter certain constraints, it is essential not to let your ego or insistence on having your way obstruct the blessings of this initiation. Whenever Pluto is in the picture, complete transformation is in progress, so embrace it. Clearly articulate your desires, commit to releasing any blockages, and own your personal power in a positive way. Avoid adopting a victim mentality, as it may attract the circumstances to match.

I would like to say that Mars has a 2-year cycle, so starting this year, 2024, as Pluto enters Aquarius, we will all get to go through this repeated cleansing & renewing of the Sacred Masculine every 2-years, 11-times over. With these Initiations in Aquarius, we will renew our Love for HUMANITY and being the communal creatures that we are. It is toxic, patriarchal conditioning that tells you to ‘go it alone’. So we’ve been learning to be responsible for ourselves, our own thoughts, feelings & actions and yet, part of a cohesive community. Now we are going to see, more glaringly than ever, how we truly affect each other even when we are far apart because we are one species, sharing one water, one air, one Earth. All Life is connected and if we are the “intelligent” species we think we are, then it’s time for the Modern Steward of the Earth to be born. What will be your unique contribution?

2/16  ::  Mercury (lower mind & ideas) ~square~ Uranus (Higher Mind & awakening):

This energy presents a challenge by urging you to broaden your consciousness, prompting a shift in your thinking or thought patterns and encouraging new & different responses to information, as it is presented. Uranus triggers sudden realizations, personal revelations, and revolutionary concepts, ideal for adventurous souls who tend to thrive on change and innovation. However, if you are deeply attached to routines and the predictability of plans, this energy might cause frustration, taxing your nervous system as things appear sudden (even though they have more likely been simmering beneath the surface for some time now). Flexibility and openness become crucial, requiring an adjustment to accommodate the heightened mental activity and information influx—although controlling it entirely might prove challenging. Consider recalibrating your personal filters by spending time in Nature, allowing yourself to process thoughts at your own pace and clear your mind. This period fosters immense inspiration, innovation and creativity, encouraging you to tap into these energies. Yet, be mindful that anything initiated now may need a review later, prompting a meticulous examination of the details of any revelations or creations. You are merely scratching the surface—this phase emphasizes revelation and awakening, eventually leading to the practical logistics and effective actions required to materialize your ideas, dreams & visions.

2/16  ::  Venus Enters AQUARIUS (until March 11th):

When Venus enters Aquarius, she activates the Inner Visionary, who joyfully & generously shares her unusual insights, deep wisdom & radical ideas of human potential that is possible if we cultivate it. Venus in Aquarius requires sovereignty & freedom in both her personal & professional relationships so this is our chance to check-in to see how that is going at this time. This energy allows your deep Feminine Wisdom to surface at this time in order to guide you about the future of your relationships & finances. Venus in Aquarius activates an upgrade in your own self-value, self-worth, self-love and self-knowledge. It is the ability to cultivate your own unique genius and share your individual Light with the rest of the world without losing your true Self in the process. We have permission to withdraw complicity from all relationships or agreements which keep us small, stifled, limited or imprisoned in any way. We are encouraged to connect with others who are a Vibratory Match – meaning that they share your values & priorities and want to work together as partners or community. The Shadow of Venus in Aquarius is to attach all value to ‘humanity, the collective, the world or the planet’, never taking the time to develop the Self or cultivate a true personal connection with any one human. It is detachment from the true essence of what prompts us to want to create a better world in the first place, we can get so busy creating it that we forget to LIVE it – in the moment. Activate your Inner Visionary and reorganize your values & priorities so that they reflect more authenticity, integrity & YOU!!

2/17  ::  Venus (love, finances & relationships) ~conjunct~ Pluto (purification & transformation):

This marks an initiation, fostering the energy for a fresh, new start in your personal life. A shift has occurred in some aspects of your values and a natural conclusion to some old priorities, signaling the need to move in an entirely new direction. It feels like a move to your own next personal level in love, finances, or relationships and this evolution is empowered by the intensity that Pluto brings to the mix. For better or worse, this activation provides rare access to profound connections on a Soul Level. It serves as the ultimate support for the transformative power of love in all aspects of life. As your values & priorities evolve, relationships must undergo a similar adjustment, recognizing that when you change, those around you have to either change or go away, naturally. Be cautious of value differences that may lead to unproductive power struggles, often distractions from the actual opportunities to release unnecessary baggage and transition into the new with greater ease & grace. Strive to create win/win and mutually beneficial circumstances, allowing relationships to evolve rather than devolve or revolve back into negative patterns within the new cycle.
