We step in a bit further through the year, reaching February, a month that often arrives way too soon. Weren’t we just planning for the holidays? But yes, the new year is over, dear reader, and we are back on the race track, racing through a new chapter!
February is a mood buffet – we are relatively calm, but incredibly intense too, in a romantic, but detached way. It seems implausible for these words to be jumbled together, but bear with me, this should tie up nicely after pointing out a few interesting things about the month ahead:
ALL PLANETS ARE DIRECT
First up – all planets are direct this month, as they will continue to be, up until April this year, making this a period where we can take advantage of a possible energetic head start for goals we wish to accomplish for the year ahead. When planets are retrograde, especially personal planets (Mars, Venus, Mercury), slowdowns, starts and stops, and a focus on introspection and re-evaluation are heightened. With ALL planets direct, we are likely to become more productive and less wistful. Energies are moving, planetary archetypes are functioning as they should, and we are a little bit more driven, a bit more enthusiastic even, to get things going.
PLANETARY PILE-UP IN AQUARIUS
A stellium, a concentration of planetary energy in a specific part of the zodiac, forms too, in the sign of Aquarius, the water bearer, arguably the most intellectual, most logical of all zodiac archetypes. Six planets travel through this part of the sky (The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto) throughout the month, strongly highlighting Aquarius themes of independence, innovation, and progressiveness. The Aquarian energy also brings to the fore humanitarian and social awareness, emphasizing the importance of community welfare and global causes. We find it much easier to zoom out, to see the bird’s eye view of our situation and its place in the collective, allowing us to be more objective, unclouded by feelings and sentimental attachments that usually overwhelm us when we are in the thick of things.
INTENSE PLANETARY CONJUNCTIONS
Now, this is where it gets tricky – Pluto, the planet of intensity, transmutation, and regeneration, to name a few keywords, is back in Aquarius, standing on the sign’s first couple of degrees, like a gatekeeper with a 2-hit combo of guardian/dementor. For the rest of the month (of the year, even), any planet entering the realm of Aquarius finds itself face to face with Pluto, who requires a fierce, severe embrace first, as a prerequisite for passage.
3 important planets, MERCURY, VENUS and MARS, all enter Aquarius in different points this month, passing through this new Plutonic checkpoint(or chokepoint?), creating mental intensity that we may not be used to – yet. Walls built to keep emotions from coming in and out are surrendered to Pluto at least during these conjunctions, and we may find that we are less guarded, more open, and therefore, more vulnerable too!
Towards the end of the month, after Pluto’s checkpoint, Venus and Mars, the perennial cosmic lovers, finally meet each other again, in their annual rendezvous that we all here on earth, benefit from. We become more assertive, but also more gentle, in the areas of our chart where this conjunction lands. We are quick to action, less dramatic and more logical and objective, without compromising tenderness and passion. We see things for what they are, and we can enjoy them, without drowning in a wave of temperamental moods that dampen the experience for us. How apt that this most romantic of all planetary encounters happen in February, the month when we celebrate love!
For specific details on how this month’s Cosmic Weather may affect you, you will need your exact birth time, birthplace, and a competent astrologer who can compute and interpret your charts. However, knowing the general energies at play can greatly assist in planning ahead.
Take note: the forecast below is based on very general cosmic weather, catered to a broad audience. Personal discretion should be applied over everything else! With that being said –
You know the drill!
