We’re all just walking each other home. – Ram Dass
February each year emphasizes the sign of Aquarius and the concepts of brotherhood/sisterhood, equality and connection. Though we continue to have challenging energy playing out in the background during year 2022, February 2022 gives us a small respite. Most of the planetary aspects are of the easier variety (trines and sextiles), rather than the squares and oppositions that were strong most of last year.
In addition, Jupiter moved into Pisces on December 29, 2021. Jupiter is the co-ruler of Pisces and, thus, is strong in Pisces. Jupiter in Pisces expands the Piscean energy and brings a sense of love, compassion and oneness to the harsher energy that we have been feeling.
This Valentine’s Day will be enhanced due to the agape love portrayed by Jupiter in Pisces. While celebrating Valentine’s Day with your family or significant other, spend a few minutes projecting that love outward to all humanity. That is the true essence of Valentine’s Day as celebrated by Jupiter in Pisces as it moves toward conjunction with Neptune on April 11.
February 1: New Moon at 12 Degrees Aquarius. What a wonderful combination of symbols we have with this Aquarius New Moon. A New Moon is about starting over, starting new projects and new breakthroughs. The New Moon falling on the first day of February amplifies the symbology.
The New Moon/Sun conjunction is also conjunct Saturn in Aquarius and square Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is about breaking free, light bulb ideas and throwing off limitations. Saturn conjunct the Aquarius New Moon, acts as a stabilizing influence, keeping you from going too far too quickly. Pluto in Capricorn trine the North Node in Taurus urges you to take back your power (Pluto) in order to express your heart’s desire and life purpose (North Node). Use this dynamic New Moon in Aquarius to boldly move forward with new plans.
February 4: Sun Conjunct Saturn at 16 Degrees Aquarius. Sun conjunct Saturn combines the energy of the self-actualizing Sun with the steady accomplishment possible under Saturn. When the Sun is conjunct Saturn, you can make steady progress so long as you overcome a tendency to doubt yourself (Saturn). You may reap rewards from past endeavors (also Saturn).
February 4: Mars Sextile Jupiter at 8 Degrees Capricorn/Pisces. This lovely aspect brings a burst of confidence, energy and zest for accomplishing tasks. Mars brings the activity and energy, while Jupiter brings the optimism and expansion.
February 5: Mercury Direct at 24 Degrees Capricorn. Mercury is now moving forward in Capricorn where it moves to conjunct Pluto on February 11. Mercury conjunct Pluto tends to bring things out into the open for inspection and intense conversations. Watch the United States’ news for revelations and exposure of hidden matters. Those matters have been simmering along while Mercury was retrograde. Now, Mercury direct will bring some startling information out into the open.
February 8: Mars Trine Uranus at 11 Degrees Capricorn/Taurus. If something has kept you stuck, use this high-powered, energetic aspect to break free so you can forge a new path.
February 14: Valentine’s Day – Venus and Mars Conjunct at 16 Degrees Capricorn. High chemistry between love partners and prospective partners on this Valentine’s Day 2022. Venus rules love and attraction, flirting and charm. Mars rules physical attraction and the sizzle of same.
With the Moon in Leo waxing towards becoming full on February 16, it promises to be a sexy, romantic time.
February 16: Full Moon at 28 Degrees Leo. Every full Moon emphasizes a particular axis in the birth chart, since the Sun and Moon form an opposition to each other at the Full Moon. This Leo Full Moon is in opposition to the Sun in Aquarius. Leo is about self-expression and individuation. It asks: How am I special, unique and different from others? Aquarius is also proud of being different and values independence, but wants to be part of a group, team or collaborative effort. This Leo Full Moon brings up the question of: Am I balancing my need to give to and interact with others with my need for self-development? Those with late degrees of the fixed signs (Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio) will feel this Full Moon the most.
February 16: Venus Conjunct Mars at 17 Degrees Capricorn. Business and money matters are favored under Venus conjunct Mars. This conjunction is also favorable for love attractions, popularity and social advancement. Because Venus conjunct Mars occurs under a Full Moon in Leo, aim big. The wind is at your back easing your way.
February 17: Jupiter Sextile Uranus at 11 Degrees Pisces/Taurus. Dream big (Jupiter) and take practical (Taurus), but unusual (Uranus) actions to make your dreams a reality.
February 18: Sun Enters Pisces. Transiting Neptune Opposes Natal Neptune in the United States Birth Chart at 22 Degrees Pisces/Virgo. Neptune opposition Neptune in the US chart is a big deal! A Neptune opposition occurs only once every 165 years. This transit, along with transiting Pluto conjunct the US natal Pluto (see below) is a BIG deal. When the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) make contact with our birth chart, a major shift is in the works. So too, in the charts of corporations and governmental entities.
February 20: Pluto Return in United States Chart at 27 Degrees Capricorn. Starting on February 20, 2022, we experience the historic, unprecedented in our lifetime, return of Pluto to where it was when the United States was formed on July 4, 1776. Pluto makes a historic conjunction with the United States’ Pluto at 27 Degrees Capricorn, which falls in the second house of the United States’ astrology chart.
Pluto stays in Capricorn until March 23, 2023, when it will enter Aquarius for the first time since 1797. The Pluto return in the US chart is extremely important, not only for the US, but for the economic and political systems of the entire world. Pluto transiting Capricorn since 2008, is slowly exposing fraud, dishonesty, greed and extreme autocracy. Much of the unease that we are all feeling is partly because of this Plutonian cleansing. If you would like to know more, stay tuned, as I will be posting my Pluto Return talk soon.
February 24: Mercury Square Uranus at 11 Degrees Aquarius/Taurus. Mercury square Uranus can lead to impulsive, erratic thoughts and sarcastic, unfiltered outbursts. However, it can bring beneficial breakthrough thoughts and ideas.
