To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, and irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
This Valentine’s Day month opens with a lovely Venus/Neptune sextile in the signs of Capricorn (Venus) and Pisces (Neptune). This aspect is all about beauty, romance and a sense of the poetic and mystical. Because Venus is in the business sign of Capricorn we could even see a brief softening around the hard edges of business. Something could even show up in the news about big business showing some compassion and caring beyond their concern with the bottom dollar.
Watch the news on February 5-6 when the Sun squares Mars, Venus conjuncts Pluto and the Sun sextiles Uranus. This can be a very volatile time, both in your personal life and on the world front. Power struggles, social unrest, brawn over brain are just some of the possible manifestations of this energy. With Uranus in the picture there could be sudden, unpredictable happenings and results.
Reason returns somewhat on February 7. Mars squares the Sun, but also sextiles Venus, and Mercury trines Jupiter. Truth begins to emerge, and people and nations are in more of a mood to compromise and to work out solutions. In your personal life this could bring breakthroughs. For maximum benefit from this transit focus on the big picture, not the minute daily concerns.
February 8 starts the Lunar Chinese New Year in the year of the fire monkey.
The month of January left many of us feeling lethargic, burnt out, tired and out of sorts. The good news is that Mars ramps up your activity level this month. Mars can wake us from our lethargy and help us pursue our goals.
Finally on February 10-15, easier energy enters the picture when Venus, and then Mars, trines Jupiter. The mood lightens considerably, fun returns to life and we are better able to move things along in a positive way. Aries and Scorpio may especially feel a release of some of the tension, but all of the fixed signs (Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius and Taurus) will feel this shift. Those signs will be able to make headway and push things full speed ahead before Mars turns retrograde on April 17.
Finally, the Sun moves into Pisces on February 18 where it will be joined by the New Moon on March 8-9 to form a solar total eclipse.
