Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope

Magical Moments

By Jeff Jawer

Week of Monday, February 6 2012 -- The Moon's move into sociable Libra on Friday increases the sweetness of social connections this weekend. This creative sign invites peace, harmony and romance, especially when we focus on pleasure and beauty. However, there are some unsettled moments that arouse emotional uncertainty and trigger sudden changes of plans because of lunar oppositions to surprising Uranus and loving Venus on Friday evening.

Saturday's only significant astrological event occurs before dawn when fair-minded Libra's desire for openness and objectivity is tweaked by manipulative Pluto. Jealous feelings and control issues are likely; yet combining a clear head with a passionate heart can unearth areas of dissatisfaction to set a relationship on a healthier course.

Accountability runs high on Sunday, so making plans and sticking to them is a must. A lunar conjunction with serious Saturn rewards reliability and hard work. A livelier evening, though, is waiting for us once the Moon moves into intense Scorpio and connects with visionary Neptune and opportunistic Jupiter. These passionate aspects inspire our imaginations and fuel our fantasies, creating magical moments if we're willing to let go of logic and skepticism. Once in a while, we need to forget our practical concerns and allow our hearts to lead the way.

But there's a noticeable shift from this lighthearted approach to a more emotional state of mind when the Moon moves into protective Cancer late on Friday night. The needs for safety and security grow as we tend to seek out comforting people and familiar situations. Yet it may be difficult to get that settled feeling we're craving because the sensitive Moon opposes suspicious Pluto on Saturday afternoon. Power struggles and trust issues are common obstacles we might encounter during this provocative aspect. We're confronted by unresolved issues, thickening the atmosphere with emotional intensity.

This can be a transformational day for those of us who are willing to dig deeply inside our hearts to examine our desires and fears. It's better to bring these unspoken concerns to the surface where they can be dealt with directly, no matter how uncomfortable or painful it might be at first. Being tender with others is essential for creating an environment that allows this profoundly personal sharing to occur in ways that bring people closer together.
