True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thoughts, words and actions have real consequences throughout the universe. -Sogyal Rinpoche
The month of February, with the emphasis on Aquarius and then Pisces, is about connection, cooperation, friendship, and groups. When Pluto entered Aquarius earlier this year, it set the stage for the next 20 years. Individuals and nations are all struggling to embrace new, cooperative worldviews in the midst of some of the most challenging times in history.
It is good to remember that the slow-moving planets (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn) set up the conditions. It then takes time for the faster-moving planets to connect with the slower planets in order to trigger something new. This is also very true of full moons, new moons and eclipses. I want everyone to remember that we are in the very beginning of a long, tedious process of change toward a more loving, compassionate way of being. February’s planetary movement gives us a glimpse of what can be.
The chaos that we now see is the Universe’s way of clearing out the old, outworn ideas. It’s not pretty, but it’s necessary in the larger, evolutionary sense. When you start to feel despondent and hopeless with everything you hear in the news, please try to put it into context. Goodness will prevail, but we need to be very patient and to do what we can to foster connection no matter how small of an act that might be. The planet’s movement through Aquarius and then Pisces will help us with that.
February 1: Uranus Turns Direct at 23 Degrees Taurus. Unpredictable Uranus direct in Taurus unleashes the ability to revamp your financial patterns, revisit your security needs, and to revitalize your approach to money and possessions.
February 3: Venus Conjunct Neptune and North Node at 28-29 Degrees Pisces. Mars Square Chiron at 29 Degrees Cancer/Aries. Use Venus conjunct Neptune and the North Node to tune into your true desires. Because the North Node energy feels foreign to us, you may need to push back against old habits to fully use this energy. Retrograde Mars in the moody sign of Cancer will tend toward defensiveness and brooding rather than confronting and resolving issues. Mars square Chiron will either bring out anger around the things that wounded you in the past, or will help you take action towards healing those wounds. It’s okay to feel anger, but to be productive, you must then go deep within (Neptune) to heal that anger.
February 4: Venus Enters Aries. Venus in Aries until June 6 energizes you and you feel the need to be more adventurous and impulsive in matters related to relationships and money. While Venus in Aries is excellent for bringing excitement back into your life, it has its less advantageous side. Use Venus in Aries to take small risks and to meet new people, go new places and, generally, be more adventurous. Just be careful not to become too pushy to those around you.
February 4: Jupiter Stations Direct at 11 Degrees Gemini. When Jupiter turns direct, we can actually feel the change in the atmosphere. Business interactions begin to move forward and a feeling of optimism permeates the air. You may find your words and conversations turning to what is possible, instead of what you had perceived to be impossible. That is especially true today, when Jupiter is trine Mercury in air signs Gemini and Aquarius.
February 7: Sun and Mercury Quincunx Mars at 18 Degrees Aquarius/Cancer. You might feel a little out of sorts today when the Sun and Mercury are conjunct and in a quincunx aspect to Mars. You know an adjustment (quincunx) needs to be made, but you don’t feel ready to act just yet. Watch your communication as you may come across as angrier and/or more frustrated than you intended.
February 7: Venus Sextile Pluto at 2 Degrees Aries/Aquarius. A little push or intensity (Pluto) can go a long way now. Don’t belabor a point, but state your case and let it go, especially when interacting with friends or loved ones (Venus). When used in a positive way, Venus sextile Pluto can help you accomplish much more than usual.
February 8-9: Sun and Mercury at 19 Degrees Aquarius Sextile Chiron at 19 Degrees Aries. The Sun and Mercury conjunct in Aquarius stimulate your mind and provide an ideal time to write and to discuss ideas with others. Indeed, any form of communication is favored. The Sun and Mercury in an air sign and Chiron in a fire sign helps you process old wounds in a non-emotional way.
February 9: Mars Trine Saturn at 18 Degrees Cancer/Pisces. Mars trine Saturn is an auspicious time to accomplish those things that require discipline and persistence. You may not see results immediately, because Mars is still retrograde. However, any delays will prove to be beneficial.
February 9-11: Sun and Mercury Square Uranus at 23 Degrees Aquarius/Taurus. It’s best to refrain from discussing politics or religion when the Sun and Mercury are square Uranus. Both sides in any discussion will have a tendency to hold rigid and/or radical views. In addition, the Sun square Uranus triggers restless feelings that can lead to the need for rebellion and revolt.
February 12: Full Moon at 24 Degrees Leo at 8:53 AM EST. This Leo Full Moon is charged and full of tension due to the T-square of the Sun, Moon and Uranus. Your nervous system is on high alert and your impatience is elevated and ready to erupt at any time. Retrograde Mars in Cancer square Chiron only adds to the stress, as it may result in a feeling of anger towards past hurts and grievances. You can best navigate this Full Moon in Leo by engaging in active sports or physically taxing work. The Leo energy also favors any type of creative activity.
February 14: Mercury Enters Pisces. Mercury in Pisces brings a lovely energy to your Valentine’s Day celebration. When in Pisces, Mercury becomes more romantic, dreamy and intuitive. Mercury is in Pisces until March 3rd.
February 18: Sun Enters Pisces. The Sun in Pisces until March 20 is geared more toward introspection, intuition, spirituality and seculsion than overt accomplishment. Becausee Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, it urges us to take some quiet time. The quiet Sun in Pisces helps us prepare for the new beginnings and high activity level of the Sun when it enters Aries on March 20. Your creativity and intuition may be at an all time high, especially if you have planets in any of the water signs (Pisces, Cancer and Scorpio). Be wary of a tendency toward escapism and the tendency to look at the world with rose colored glasses.
February 20: Sun at 2 Degrees Pisces Sesiquiquadrate Retrograde Mars at 17 Degrees Cancer. Mercury Square Jupiter at 11 Degrees Pisces/Gemini. Be wary of grandiose and/or unrealistic ideas when Mercury is square Jupiter. The Sun sesiquiqu8adrate Mars brings a sense of agittaion without a known cause. Thankfully, it’s a short-lived aspect.
February 22: Neptune Conjunct North Node at 28 Degrees Pisces Opposing South Node at 28 Degrees Virgo. When Neptune is in aspect to the Nodes, its time to pay attention to your life purpose. Ask yourself: “Are you moving toward your right livilihood or are you just drifting along (Neptune) doing what seems to be easiest?”.
February 23: Mars Stations Direct at 17 Degrees Cancer. Let the action begin! Everything that has felt sluggish and mired in quicksand will now come to life. Though we will all feel the change as Mars ends its retrograde period, those with mid to late degrees of the cardinal signs (Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries) will feel it the most. Dust off and implement any plans or projects that you put aside, as you can now make significant progress.
February 27: New Moon at 9 Degrees 40 Minutes Pisces. Mercury Sextile Uranus at 23 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. This magical New Moon in Pisces is especially tuned to music, water and all matter of artistic and creative work. Pay attention to the subtle and intuitive insights you get at this time. This Pisces New Moon is particularly beneficial to those who are doing spiritual and/or healing work, both individually and professionally. Mercury sextile Uranus opens the floodgates to let unusual, innovative ideas flow in. Ask for divine guidance during this auspicious New Moon.
March 1: Venus Stations Retrograde at 10 Degrees Aries. Old relationship issues, or even old relationships may appear when Venus is in retrograde motion until April 13. Use this time to evaluate your values and your relationship expectations.
Interesting astrological insight that came across my news feed today from Time Magazine: “New studies on samples from the asteroid Bennu found that the samples contained the precursors to life in a watery environment and DNA and RNA, suggesting similar asteroids were the building blocks of life on Earth.” I have always felt that the reason astrology works is because our DNA is connected to the planets, asteroids and other heavenly bodies as part of the divine plan. This could confirm that notion. I would love to hear your thoughts.
