Aries
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: Monday is distracted but still very good for accomplishing things. For those of you working on Fat Tuesday and Hangover Wednesday, you’ll be amiable and effective, no matter how you feel. You’re so tuned into what a client wants. You know how to steer him or her into a better option without making him or her feel silly or inferior. You offer up alternatives that look better for your client and are smarter for economic and career needs without poking a hole in his or her ego. You can be very gracious and considerate when you’re in the mood. When you’re not, others are wise to leave the building. This week, however, you’re in a fabulous mood, with good reason. It appears that a happy private life is spilling into your already successful professional activities. Weekly touchstones: Green Tourmaline, Tanzanite.

Taurus
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You’re so good to show up in work, despite the revelry, aftershock of revelry, and so on. You’re dedicated to see an endeavor through – Mardi Gras or not. Besides, the New Moon in Pisces is so good for your career. Something you’ve waited for so long finally comes around, validating you and offering you hope for the future. New friends, brilliant ideas, and opportunities spring up like early spring flowers and are ripe for the picking. This entire week is excellent for you with only one exception: Thursday. You are advised to not take exception to what another says or assume that criticism is being directed at you. It’s not. It’s a reflection of one person’s frustration. Don’t take it personally. Weekly touchstones: Plume Agate, Smoky Quartz.

Gemini
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You’re very good at motivating. If you’re a coach, motivational speaker, or sales person, you’ve got it made. You strut in and the competition shrivels to maggot size beings, and finally ceases to exist. You take over, guide people to the “sign here” page, and make sure that each client or customer is satisfied, looked after, and feels very well-cared for. Weekly touchstones: Emerald, Onyx.

Cancer
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: Put no limits on your career this week. Shove away worries. Your future is already assured, whether you fully comprehend it or not. The bread is in the oven baking, almost ready, with a beautiful golden brown crust. Be patient a little longer. Everything is coming together, and it’s all because you had the smarts to make a command decision. This may have been a trip, a call, a random connection. Whatever it was, it was the right thing for you – and how! *Note: Just let others do the talking on Thursday while you listen and take notes. There may be some haggling or disputes that don’t concern or affect you. Don’t intervene. Weekly Touchstones: Angel Wing Agate, Lazulite.

Leo
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You allow your incomparable work do the talking and selling for you. Sales are more likely if you’re present because people are so taken with your eccentricity, energy, and the electricity that accompanies you wherever you go. You feel a sense of destiny, know you’ve paid your dues, and are ready to accept the honors and benefits you’ve earned. Because you’re so strong-willed, you actually resisted some offers in the past. Well, thank Goddess, you’ve gotten over that. Now, you’re more open to suggestions, as long as an alliance or technique doesn’t interfere with the integrity of your work. You have very high standards, another reason that you’re an impossible act to follow. There will never be another you. Weekly touchstones: Carnelian, Green Aventurine.

Virgo
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You are as clever and successful as your partner or group leader. If you’re involved with a person or people who are sloppy and disorganized, you’ll spend most of your whopping creative energy and business acumen cleaning up their misdeeds and disorganization. Put all your eggs in the right basket starting this week’s New Moon, occurring memorably on Fat Tuesday. Kinda hard to miss! This is your new beginning and your new thanksgiving. Think enough of yourself and what you bring to the table to be hyper-selective of who you do business with. The first bit of burnt toast tossed you way is unacceptable. Make sure that you associate or work with people that are (and this is difficult to find) smarter, more charismatic, and more professional than you are. Learn from the masters. Raise the bar, darling. Weekly touchstones: Pyrite, Black Spinel.

Libra
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: It’s never too late to start your brilliant career. Use Georgia O’Keefe as your muse and recognize that quality and beauty are never outdated or obsolete. You are in demand and have a niche that is waiting for you. Take the dare. Break out of the rut you’re in and soar like an eagle. The key to success during this week of brilliant fresh starts is FOLLOW-THROUGH. Yeah, you’ve got the talent, background, clientele, and training, but are you willing to go for it? Are you willing to change up your life and live a different kind of life? FYI: If the answer is yes, there is nothing beyond your grasp. If the answer is no, say hello again to the same old, same old. The next two weeks are game changers, if you have the cojones. Well…do you? Weekly touchstones: Deep Red Holdenite, Ruby Red Spinel.

Scorpio
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You can convince, persuade, and sell anything this week. Push forward, like a specially equipped Ice Breaker ship. There is no barrier too tough for you. There are no limits too difficult for you to overcome. Continue breaking through antiquated barriers. Allow the glimmering incandescence of change and mental clarity to replace the fog of indecision. Remain fully focused on one big project at a time. Juggling several high demand projects simultaneously will lead straight to disaster. Once you’ve finished one big deal, and then move on to the next. Even if you live in New Orleans, you’re too busy to spend much time celebrating, and can’t afford to lose your edge by drinking. You need all hands on deck this week. What you start now will show enormous progress within two weeks. Think of that as a huge milestone and the first win. Weekly touchstones: Malachite, Black Diamond.

Sagittarius
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: This week is so productive, made even fiercer and better by Fat Tuesday’s New Moon in your solar house of new life, embryonic ideas, and new ventures. Someone that you’re working with, FYI, may also be pregnant. There’s a feeling here of unlimited potential and unlimited growth. What you’re working on right now is timeless and can be a product or item that others rely on for decades. It won’t be a passing fancy or temporary trend. What you’re working on has a lot of meat on its bones and can stand tall, not only because of its quality but also because of its content. You have a story to tell that can guide others all over the world, so tell it. The vehicle you use to get your message out may be via the internet, traditional publishing, music, art, or other kinds of media. Once others understand that there is no end in sight to the potential of this idea, they’re smitten. Weekly touchstones: Black Tourmaline, Rubellite.

Capricorn
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You think and think about a better way of bringing things together. You look at your home and office and decide what is necessary and what is excessive and should probably be sold or disposed of. You also consider quicker smarter ways to utilize your time at work. There seems to be a lot of wasted time due to paperwork goof-ups, redundancy, and really dumb mistakes made by low-level employees. You recognize that if things don’t change soon, some of those redundant low-level employees may be out of a job. You’re actually questioning whether you want to remain at your current employ. The fire is gone. The purpose is hazy. Business is slow, and you don’t trust half the people you deal with. So you begin to dredge the depths of your mind and rediscover those dreams you buried years ago because you had to be practical and chase dollars. What you’re looking for now is a way to bring in the dollars in a job that gives you great satisfaction and joy. Maybe a redo of your firm’s mission statement is in order. Maybe you need to change the basic service or product that you offer. GM did it – why not you? Weekly touchstones: Green Sapphire, Star Sapphire.

Aquarius
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: Finances will take care of themselves. Your talent, friends, and connections will all work in your favor. As you close one book, you open up a fresh new one with more to discover. You’re particularly taken with an old way of doing things that really worked. You think about ways to bring that technique back to life using modern technology. You find a way to make something new look like an ancient sparkling treasure. Imagine the Acropolis when it was brand spanking new, sparkling and glowing in the sunshine and moonlight. That’s what you’re doing. For example, ancient tomb paintings have fascinated scientists, artists, and philosophers for centuries. Think of employing some of those techniques to modern design. The Byzantine period might be your favorite. Some of you may gravitate to the Renaissance or 19th century romantic beaux arts style and art. The key is for you to find that inspiration and spark within you and set it free. Break away from existing trends and start one that will set others’ hearts on fire. Weekly touchstones: Ruby, Moldavite.

Pisces
For the week of Feb 20th - Feb 26th: You do your best work with minimal interruptions. Good luck with that. You’re really popular and in demand now. Others forget how to make a sandwich and expect you to do it for them. We’re not talking about 3-year-olds here; we’re talking about your colleagues, all of legal age. Don’t be anyone’s maid. Your valuable time is better spent doing almost anything besides babysitting full-grown babies. Someone might even have the gall to ask you to do his or her taxes. As if! Draw the boundary lines very clearly this week. New week = new start. It also equals a stronger, self-starting, confident YOU! You don’t have to be anyone’s doormat at any point this week. In fact, you’re so in demand and command so much respect that there’s a lot of myth and mystery circulating about you. Keep it that way. It gives you even more power. And you don’t owe anyone an answer to an impertinent question. Just tell them precisely where to stick it. Weekly touchstones: Mandarin Citrine, Peridot.
