It's Your Future: Astrology with Matthew Currie
We regret to inform you that Valentine’s Day has been cancelled. Please return all candy and lingerie with the receipt for a full refund. Thank you for your patience.

Two major aspects are influencing the week, both involving sextiles (a separation of 60 degrees between two planets). The sextile isn’t a particularly loud or flash aspect — it doesn’t shout like a conjunction or slap you in the face like a square, so it’s easy to overlook the opportunities it can present.
