PURPOSE
The solar eclipse is on February 26th in Pisces.
This special new moon helps you go beyond the
veils of this world to bring forth a fresh higher vision and intuitive insight for your incoming projects. There are numerous planets and asteroids in
Pisces now. Make certain you see the world as it is,
because it would be very easy to fall into fantasy
thinking. While this is excellent for creative activities, it can also see only what it wants to see in relationships and business dealings. Hold the higher
vision, but keep your feet on earth!
Although you feel slightly beat up going through
the process, the end result is a better you.
If you had difficulty starting your New Year’s diet
and exercise program, take heart by knowing athletic Mars moves through Aries, January 26 through
March 9th. Aries likes to move, be it through exercise, dance, yoga, martial arts or whatever you do
to get your blood circulation.
FEBRUARY:
Overall, this is a great three-month period with only
minor challenges. You have the opportunity to release and forgive the past, and do the initial visioning of that which is ready to come into your life next.
That seems perfect for the transition into a new year!
Peeking ahead: Relationship planet Venus turns
retrograde in March, and that doesn’t happen very
often. Your relationships and finances are going to
shift. Check out the next issue for details.
February is the most interesting month for this quarterly report. Valentine’s Day is sandwiched between
two eclipses. The lunar eclipse in Leo and Aquarius is on February 10th. Full moons tend to pull you
apart emotionally, and lunar eclipses amplify the
effect. This Leo moon eclipse urges you to look at
where your heart is engaged vs. where you are living life in a detached, go-through-the-motions manner. The opportunity is to participate in life in a way
that your heart is engaged, yet not get sucked into
the drama around you. If you are just going through
the motions in life, then this eclipse will push you
to make changes, or go into depression (not recommended!) To get a hint about how this eclipse
is working, watch people born from 1951-1955 as
death & rebirth Pluto in Leo gets activated in their
charts. It also activates the charts of anyone born
within a week of January 15th and July 15th.
The moon is in Libra for Valentine’s Day. That’s perfect since Libra represents relationships, romance,
grace, beauty and luxury. Libra likes nice restaurants,
art and jewelry. This is not the zodiac sign to be frugal. It is an enthusiastic day for couples because the
life-giving Sun is in harmony with warm and generous
Jupiter. It’s best to take advantage of this energy before the evening gets late as emotions wear thin the
later it gets. Activities that take place between two
eclipses are significant. Be focused and clear, saying
what you mean and meaning what you say- no fantasy wishful thinking or false promises.
