Friday, March 1, 2013: February ended on a romantic, though not not entirely realistic, note, but the sentimental journey continues until well into March.

With so many planets in Pisces the temptation to run away from the rigors of life will continue. But today, with the Sun in ephemeral Pisces linking up with "do or die" Pluto in pragmatic "let's get real" Capricorn, and also with "let's get real" Saturn in "do or die Scorpio", the fog could lift a bit and you just might muster up the determination and backbone to do what needs to be done. As a matter of fact this is likely to be your most productive day this week.

And yet as the evening draws near feelings of love and affection once again begin to push practicalities aside.
