February offers us a bit of a break. It feels so nice after the push and pull of
planets in January and the hustle-bustle of December’s holidays. This month, not a single planet turns retrograde
or direct motion out of retrograde which affirms our sense of where we are going.
With the exception of Jupiter, all
planets are moving forward in February.
So we feel less struggle and more
directed. YAY! Not that there isn’t
work to be done (there always is…); but we will feel as though we are actually getting
somewhere, making tracks, accomplishing our
goals.
Underscoring this are some really helpful configurations. For
starters, Generous Jupiter and the Lunar North Node (our true calling) continue
to travel together in Virgo, focusing and delivering our goals in the health
and work sectors of our lives. This power
couple finishes details to an astonishing level of perfection and will not skip
over a single item of note.
Forming a gorgeous alliance to Jupiter-North Node are Messenger
Mercury tightly conjoined to Transformer Pluto in constructive Capricorn,
matching our minds, messages and desires.
Messages will be really strong now, both those you receive and deliver. Pay attention to what is said and what you
say. Capricorn is all about solid foundations,
creating that which lasts the test of
time. What are you trying to create and
manifest to sustain yourself and loved ones?
Envision. By the end of the first week (Feb. 7th) beneficent
Venus joins this pair complimenting and cheering on our efforts; all three
align with Jupiter-North Node to plan and execute to the final detail. Build baby build!
The trick is managing the unexpected. The curveball. Because challenging the Capricorn planetary
trio is Radical Uranus. This is the game
changer. All of us find we must reinvent ourselves, our methods and
routines to accomplish what we seek. No
exceptions. What used to work no longer
does. This can be a break through period for those willing to go out on a limb and take
chances (see below). You will be
rewarded. For those clinging to worn out
ways, little movement occurs. An example
of this out-of-the-box climate is the highly tumultuous political scene in the
USA. On both the Right and the Left, the
Capricorn Establishment is facing complete upheaval. Donald
Trump and Bernie Sanders are shaking down the traditional system and offering something totally different. Keep an eye
on the Iowa Caucuses as an indicator of how much change voters demand.
So while we have a tremendous
amount of cosmic support this month to get where we want to go, do make allowances for surprises. When we
aren’t caught off guard and staying on track, February is a time to roll up
your sleeves and really nail down the format and details of your desires. Mars accentuates the messages from the
Mercury-Pluto duo: trust what you are hearing and seeing. As February begins, Motivating Mars is at a
critical degree of Scorpio telling us to dig deep. Keep looking, searching and hunting to leave
no stone unturned and each detail accounted for.
(A cautionary note about Mars at such a notable degree in Scorpio: watch your wallet. Fortunately it is aligning helpfully with
Mercury-Pluto in practical Capricorn. So balance and settle accounts. Ask: do you really need that extra such and
such? It is always a good idea to pay debt off first.)
Scorpio is the master intuitive so trust your gut, your
instincts and your hunches in all cases.
The greatest art has been produced by artists following their
intuition. Some of the most profound and
significant scientific breakthroughs have occurred by scientists following their
hunches. The trick is stamina. To persist and keep at it even when you think
you have no energy or ideas left. Try
not to let failure or disappointment dissuade you. You have gut instincts and hunches for a
reason. Make like a Scorpio detective
and put your nose to the grindstone.
Hard work now will indeed pay off.
It just isn’t always for us to know when or how. Trust the flow and allow. Take a break when
needed. Just when you believe all paths have been exhausted, that’s when Mighty
Uranus and Saturn step in by offering an Awakening, a Surprise, a breakthrough.
Because the engines of invention and innovation are working
overtime now, firing on all cylinders. Wow. We can hardly ask for more! Radical Uranus in fiery Aries beautifully
aligns with Saturn in adventurous Sagittarius fueling our mind, body and soul
through the entire month. Working late
to solve a problem? Feeling like you are
on the edge of landing that job, healing old psychological or physical wounds
but just don’t know if you have steam left to pull it off or are overwhelmed by the task ahead? The
Uranus-Saturn alliance is your friend for sure.
It’s like having an endless supply of gasoline to keep the car
running. Turned into yet another dead
end? Uranus-Saturn delivers miraculous
ways of looking at something, a fresh round of resources you never knew you
had. It is very cool indeed. Saturn in Sagittarius is all about
trust: believing even though you can’t yet see results. Like agreeing to
something or someone with a handshake and a whole lot of blind faith and just knowing it will all work out. Uranus-Saturn say go ahead and make the deal,
try something new: you have nothing to lose.
This gorgeous, fiery energy is in place on February 8th
for the New Moon at 19 degrees Aquarius.
Talk about the Mother of Invention and out of the box creativity…Wow! Smack
in between both planets, the New Moon forms a very helpful angle to both Uranus
and Saturn, aligning our emotions, will, effort and creative intent. There is a “your wish is my command”
expression to this New Moon. The caution
here is the challenging angle between the Moon/Sun in Aquarius and Motivating
Mars in Scorpio.
We must reach far deeper than we expected, re-examine exactly
what we’ve gotten ourselves into to achieve our goal. In fact, we must ask if our goal is in line
with our soul purpose. In other words,
are we really certain our goal is what we need for our best and highest
good? Have you thought about what you
will do when you attain that goal? Then
what? We definitely have an endless
supply of energy to get us across the finish line now. It is within reach: you can see it just in the distance. If
your mark is in fact soul-aligned, you will attain it. Keep moving toward it with everything you
have.
On Valentine’s day, Messenger Mercury moves into
group-oriented and detached Aquarius. And the Messenger planet in this airy sign loves springing surprises; with Venus in status-conscious Capricorn, expect the rather large and unexpected _________ fill in the
blank. The moon is exalted (super
honored) in earthy Taurus all weekend forming a gorgeous angle to Transformer
Pluto and Jupiter-North Node. What may
seem to begin as an ordinary date night on February 13-14 could very well carry
particular, positive and weighty significance.
Ahem. Any proposal will be most heartfelt. The ring accompanying it, BIG.
Three days later beneficent Venus joins Messenger Mercury in
Aquarius helping us to detach emotionally from any difficult relationships we
may be ensnared in. Incline toward folks who are
new to you, can help you see through a different lens and/or enjoy group activities
and networking for the rest of the month.
Aquarian Venus is humanitarian by nature and reminds us that we are all one, with souls and beating hearts. Through detached interaction, we can more
easily bridge the differences among us for better understanding of our fellow
man. This connectivity increases as
Mercury-Venus travel together to the end of February.
On the 19th, the Sun moves into self-sacrificing
Pisces. Known as the Mystic, Pisces
directs our will (Sun) to believe. Believe in our ideas, our fellow man, our
loved ones, ourselves, what we create, increasing
as the Sun joins Neptune, the ruler of Pisces.
It is an excellent time for creativity of any kind…to day dream and let your imagination run wild, to listen
to music and enjoy any kind of water activities (from a soak in the tub to
swimming in the ocean). Have fun and see
where the flow takes you…just remember to come back to earth! Because the polar opposite of focused belief
is escapism. This is the caution with Pisces. While Pisces imbues us with faith and
imagination, it is best to strike a balance between reality and our
fanstasies. Fortunately, the earthy and
ever-pragmatic Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter-North Node in Virgo trio keeps
our feet on the ground even while our head wanders through the clouds.
This effect is highlighted on the Full Moon, February 22
with the Sun in dreamy Pisces while the Moon is realistic, analytical
Virgo. What we have sown blossoms into
fruition now. With Messenger Mercury
exalted (specially honored) in Aquarius, it is a particularly great time for
announcements of significance. All Full
Moons are key periods to make a splash and get noticed. But the Full Moon on the 22nd is a
particularly ripe time.
The final week of February (and we get an extra day due to
leap year!) both Messenger Mercury and
beneficent Venus move through a very noticeable degree of Aquarius. So the spotlight you garnered on the Full
Moon will carry over until the end of the month. It is an excellent time to share news, build
a network, grow the work force and expand building on all that hard work you
have accomplished to date. Mercury-Venus
in Aquarius have a magical connectivity power.
So what you unleash and release to the masses can spread like
wildfire. Conversely, any information you
are not prepared to share is best kept to yourself since Aquarius loves a surprise
and can catch you off guard. Whatever
the case, may the Force be with you!
