Sagittarius Weekly Horoscope | February 12th – 18th, 2024
You’re used to bickering friends and competitive colleagues but this week’s fracases take things to a whole new level. What’s gotten into everyone? Blame it on the Mars/Pluto conjunction on February 14 followed by Venus/Pluto conjunction on February 17. The stakes are always life and death when Pluto is involved which is what’s fanning all the enmity. Thank heavens you don’t have a planet in this fight so you can sit this one out. Nevertheless, people will be turning to you for support and validation. Be there for them but don’t choose sides because friendships that look doomed today could rise from the ashes tomorrow.

Is your ideology running away with you? It’s a question worth asking when Mars conjoins Pluto in Aquarius on February 14. “Idealistic” doesn’t always mean naïve; sometimes it’s a system of thought – or creed – that people subscribe to in order to live happy lives. It sounds pleasant enough – Utopian even – but that need to control others can get a bit out of control when Mars and Pluto are thrown into the mix. One of the virtues of being an Aquarian is in embracing diverse opinions. It’s something to keep in mind when you find your vision narrowing into a “my way or the highway” mindset.

Just keep reminding yourself that Pluto is the planet of transformation as both Mars and Venus pass under its rays this week. Admittedly, this isn’t your first rodeo. In fact, you’ve lived with Pluto in your zodiac sign since 2008/9 so you know all about the ordeals it can put you through, but still, nothing compares to this cliffhanger. For some reason, it’s more extreme than the rest. The best advice any astrologer can give you is to hold tight. Life may feel like a Hail Mary pass right now but rest assured that there’s someone in the endzone who’s ready to catch it.

Praise goes to everyone but you when the Sun is opposite you in the sky. It’s hard not to take it personally, but you shouldn’t because it’s as inevitable and unsentimental as the changing of a season. It’s not your time, and it won’t be until Spring. What to do until then? Be the first to congratulate others on their triumphs. It may feel strained at first, but once you get into the spirit of things, your natural camaraderie will shine through. It’s important to remember that the more you’re there for others now, the more they’ll be there for you when it’s your turn.

This week brings a shift in the balance of power. You’ve always been a provider – the person who works hard to ensure everyone’s needs are met. Nobody will go hungry or want for anything under your watch; however, this has also prompted you to make other people’s business your business. You may see it as reasonable since you’re paying the bills, but they might disagree. Instead of feeling betrayed by the pushback you’ll receive from those who should be grateful, try to recognize how they’ve outgrown the current setup and are looking to assert their own independence. It’s something you want to support, not deny.

Mercury, Mars, and Venus are all traveling through a sensitive part of your solar chart. This means you may find yourself navigating a psychic minefield when it comes to your interpersonal relationships. Not only will you be gingerly stepping over emotional tripwires and circumventing potentially explosive topics, you may even have to disentangle yourself from some prickly associations. It’s hard to believe that your social landscape could be transformed so dramatically but that’s what’s happening. There are times when you need to affirm yourself and there are times when you’ll want to blend into the background. The next 6 weeks are one of those times.

You’ll be tempted to back down to make the other person feel better, but don’t because prospects change dramatically on February 16th thanks to the First Quarter Moon in Taurus. This signals that you would do better standing your ground than yielding it. Now conventional wisdom says otherwise; however, there are certain behind-the-scenes developments that will soon debunk all that. Meanwhile, enjoy the thrill. It’s been a while since you’ve been so willing to go against the grain and it’s a feeling you’ve sorely missed. Pluto changing signs has released you from your underground bunker, and you are eager to make up for lost time.

You always want to be careful about who you allow into your social orbit when Venus conjoins Pluto (February 17th). Pluto often signals domineering personalities who appear self-effacing at first but grow to be more controlling over time. You also want to beware attractions that involve higher-ups and superiors. That praise you receive from them may have little to do with job performance and more to do with something else. However, Venus/Pluto conjunctions aren’t all bad. They’re famous for intense and transformative relationships. Just remember that nothing will be easy with this planetary combination, but the bond that emerges from the crucible will be unbreakable.

Things really kick into high gear when Mars enters Aquarius on February 13th. Mars always brings an adrenaline rush to whatever part of the chart it happens to be passing through and this will only increase when Venus also enters Aquarius on the 16th. It looks like you are in discussions about some sort of partnership, deal, or investment. Whatever the negotiation, it appears to be a promising one; however, it could require you – or the other party – to break a pledge. If so, then you must do it properly or this will certainly come back to bite you in the derriere later on.

A Mars/Neptune sextile on February 7th shows a superior happily making introductions but you’ll need to follow through with them on your own. Why the hesitation? Is it because you’re suffering from cold feet or is it because you feel like you’re being pushed into something before you feel ready? Pisces people can grow surprisingly resistant the closer they get to their goals. It comes from the fear that their vision of what could be may not measure up to what you imagined. Nothing does, but reality checks don’t need to be downers. They can be invitations to get creative with what you’ve been given.
