Astrology February 2020

Happy Aquarius Season!

The Sun is sailing through the Sign of the water bearer & has escaped from its heavy Earth experience of the past few weeks. As Aquarius is an Air Sign, this offers up some detachment, mental “space” & a better ability to distance ourselves from our troubles. We also have most of the Planets in Direct motion for the first two weeks of the Month, so this makes it one of the best times to set our new plans in motion. We’ll get a couple more slim windows much later in the Year, but I’d say use these days well & wisely. As February progresses, we should start to feel lighter & more sunny again & we’ll be getting some prime Fire energy too, helping us find motivation & a bit more oomph.

Mercury is in Aquarius too whilst I write, but He’s heading into Pisces on the 4th. In Aquarius, he’s clear & well able to cut through any brain fog, He keeps us focused on our business & all about the most direct route to achieving our goals. In Pisces however, Mercury is ruled by Water & so our minds tend to tick with far more of an emotional bias. As I’ve said before, Pisces is about feeeeeling & doesn’t much care for quick action & logical conclusion. On the 17th, we go into the first of Mercuries Retrograde phases. For most of this time, He’ll be remaining in Pisces too. He’ll be Retrograde until the 10th of March & y’all know the Merc Rx drill, right? Make sure you’re communicating extra clearly, double check your schedule & appointments. Back up all your devices, save your passwords where you can find them & hopefully, you’ll come through with flying colours. As Pisces is a very emotional Sign, we typically get pop ups from past relationship people. The higher purpose of this is so we can review where we’re at with them, glean some more information & perhaps reconnect. Or, we have the opportunity to finish up unfinished business, get some closure & move on.

Venus has been & still is in Pisces too, but She’ll be moving into Aries on the 9th. That’s a good thing, as too many Planets in Pisces Water would tend to weigh us down. We’ve already spent way too much time feeling at sea! In Aries, Venus is passionate, expressive, adventurous & far more active, in general. As She deals not only in Love but manages our finances too, She should provide enough spark to attract a few snappy opportunities & activities. Venus in Aries loves to initiate. Here, She’s direct & assertive. Our only caution really is that we don’t become too excitable & overly spontaneous. I think cooling off clauses were invented due people who have this placement stamped in their Natal Charts! Keep those tootsies on the ground & think things through before you tear off in some sudden direction, k?

Mars has been in fellow Fire Sign Sagittarius for some time now, but He too is changing Signs. On the 18th, He’ll move into Capricorn & as He does, He’s supported by Uranus (the change agent), in Taurus. Lovely! Mars, being the flammable God of War, can always use earthing. Where Venus may seduce us into some notion of a flying leap, Mars will slow us down here. He’s responsible for action, risk management & motivational force & He’ll be firmly anchored in sensible Capricorn territory. Use the above described Venus energies to give you ideas & a taste of something you want but combine them with steady, long term planning. This way you can achieve with flow. Mars will be in Capricorn until the end of March, but He’ll be meeting up with Jupiter, Pluto & Saturn along His way. The latter part of His journey may prove to be a more testing time, so again, make good use of these first few weeks of Feb. to set sail.

For the moment, though Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn, Neptune & Uranus are ticking along & not causing too much of a kafuffle. We’ll leave them be, shall we? Next Month, Saturn moves into Aquarius & there’ll be much to say about that, but for now? Enjoy an easier time of it, catch your breath & enjoy some Summer sunshine.

The Full Moon falls on Sunday the 9th, at 18:33 @20 degrees of Leo. It’s been a LONG time since we’ve had such an uncomplicated Full Moon. As we know, Full Moons only happen when the Sun is in one Sign & the Moon is in it’s exact opposite Sign. That’s why Full Moons are always tense moments! We’ve had a plethora of challenging Aspects between other Planets at the times of our most recent Full Moons too, which have produced some really full on challenges, but this one has only support. Of course your own personal Chart may have some surprises for you that I can’t see, but in general, the following influences are around for you to embody. Leo is a playful, passionate & confident Sign. Leo Energy is buoyant, enthusiastic, expressive & fun loving. In astrology, Leo is Ruled by the Sun & in the body, Leo Rules the heart. Around this Full Moon, make some plans which enable you to live your best life! Get your glow on & shine. Leos Fire Energy will boost your ambition & drive… direct it in a way that strengthens your position in life. Seriously contemplate what, essentially, makes you HAPPY?? The Full Moon can help you bring it to light. Way too many of us have NO idea how to generate our joy. Ask yourself… if you feel less than, what can you DO to become more of?

The New Moon this Month is on Monday the 24th, at 02:31 @4 degrees of Pisces. Though Mercury is Retrograde, this is still an ace New Moon! We should be feeling unblocked & there are many harmonious Aspects involved. Pisces is the Sign of the dreamer & the muse. Pisces is Ruled by Neptune, a Planet which oozes idealism & inspiration. Pleasure seeking, sociable, hopeful, a tad over indulgent & perhaps too ungrounded & optimistic, Pisces is full of big visions & ideas of what can be. If you tap this & apply it the right way… aka you scan your thoughts with a realistic & grounded lense, you can come up with other worldly thought bubbles & unusual concepts right now. Great inventions & adventures are made of such stuff. We should always utilise New Moon influences to the plant seeds of things we want to flourish. Do some research & make a plan or two for the future of your romantic life, your art, your musical self & any other talent or Pisces/Neptune Super Power you possess. We can use a backward moving Mercury to revisit things we sat on a shelf & thought we’d never make real. Dust some ideas off & take a fresh look. You just might come up with a revamped version that’s even better than the original. Work on it until Mercury goes direct before you make any solid moves & you should be good. As mentioned, the Aspects here are supportive & encouraging of innovation & some daring!

Sunstone is THE crystal for this Month, I think. It’s ALWAYS beneficial to charge a Stone up when the Energies & Influences of the Multiverse are positive, constructive & supportive. Both the Moons in February have excellent Aspects & we can somewhat capture these & “bottle them up” into a Crystal , for future use. In general, Sunstone is known to attract & hold abundance & joy. It’s an uplifting, antidepressant Crystal & it assists our bodies to heal… to become stronger & more vital. If you grab a piece of this & fill it up with our current Months rosy vibes, it’ll serve you very well during future grey days in Winter. Have a GREAT Month Everyone!!
