February 20th: Venus, the Sombrero Galaxy, Vesta and star cluster M48 get together to balance social vs. personal life; Ceres and the Horsehead Nebula draw our attention to take care of needs and promote solidarity

February 20th: Venus is in opposition to the Sombrero Galaxy and contra parallel to Vesta and star cluster M48.  Venus opposes in celestial longitude the famous Sombrero Galaxy, indicating the importance of bringing a personal approach to the management of our social life. If it is necessary to interact with others, it is also important to act based on one's point of view, and not under the influence of what others may think or the inertia of everyday life. This assertive quality, as well as showing personal initiative, will have a good effect in general, and, in some cases, it will be the only way to progress. The contra parallel of Venus with Vesta and M48 also indicates the need to balance and moderate the amount of energy invested in others. For some people, this will be exactly reversed and if they've been focused on their own issues, they now need to interact, to communicate, to express. M48 is a cluster that shows a strong tendency to expression and emotional manifestation. The parallel of Vesta to M48 wil also help to focus on resolving issues that require both communication. In that case, do not turn inward! Ceres is in parallel to the Horsehead Nebula and trines the North Lunar Node. This combination is useful to draw attention to personal or collective needs and seek or provide support for areas or people in need. This may include requests for grants, loans, financing, donations, fundraising events ... Children, food, animals and plants can demand more energy than usual as well as some friends in need of protection. On the other hand, this trend favors petitions, so if you have any positive cause to support, feel free to do what you can for it today, and tomorrow as well. In relationships, it is also a good time to show commitment, solidarity and support.
