Sun in Aquarius awakens humanitarian principles
On January 19, the sun entered the sign of the humanitarian, Aquarius, where it will transit until February 18, inspiring us to find our commonality with others, expand our social contacts, and participate in humanitarian causes. The sign of the water-bearer who carries the vessel of consciousness to humanity, Aquarius expands our consciousness to new horizons, awakening fresh possibilities in our human experience. People born with the sun, moon, or rising sign in Aquarius are individualistic innovators, always out on the cutting edge. Inspired with vision, and fired up with possibilities, Aquarians can neglect to nurture their personal relationships, and must come to terms with this aspect of their nature; to find equilibrium between their worldly concerns and personal lives.

Mars retrograde urges review of our work, profession or business.
With the planet of communication, Mercury, now moving in direct motion, our affairs may be a bit easier to manage, but we still have Mars retrograding (moving in apparent backwards motion). During the entire month of February, we continue a process of review in terms of our work, our careers, and our professional or business goals. This is the time to re-work, re-vision, plan, test, and basically prepare for a new two-year cycle of work that begins in later March. As it forms a favorable aspect with Mars all month, Saturn in Libra brings stability and constructive progress along these lines of inquiry. In the second week of February, Mercury in Aquarius faces off with Mars in Leo, bringing us to a point of understanding and realization about needed changes or new future directions with our work.

Humanity gets a “systems upgrade”
Along with the new moon, a remarkable planetary configuration designed to shift our consciousness to a higher level happens mid-month. Astrologers use the term, “Finger of God” for this aspect, because it seems to have the imprint of direct intervention from the ascended masters, or the angels. This month, we have two, interlaced “Fingers of God” which, put simply, has the potential to deeply transform unwanted patterns, restructure our way of moving in the world, balance our relationships and communications, and raise our vibration to the frequency of unconditional love. Occurring most strongly on February 14, this may give St. Valentine’s Day an entirely new meaning! This transition will be more strongly realized by those who have been working with subtle energies, but is meant for all to benefit….think of it as a “systems upgrade” for humanity.

Sun and Jupiter in Pisces brings hope for the future
On February 18, the sun completes its’ journey through Aquarius, venturing into the deep, mystical waters of Pisces.  The planet of expansion, and traditionally, the great “benefic”, or bringer of good fortune, Jupiter, has also recently entered Pisces. Joined by the sun in Pisces in the last week of February, Jupiter emanates a positive feeling and optimistic outlook for the future.  On February 28, we have a full moon in Virgo, opposite the sun and Jupiter in Pisces.  Empowered by positive aspects from the planet of transformation, Pluto, this full moon brings to light the healing journey humanity has chosen at this time in history.  Our lives are touched by the enormous changes happening to birth a healthier, happier world.  The one thing we all can do to assist: Stay in love, hold the high frequency of light, and gently express our truth.

“Best Days”: Although every day is sacred, full of opportunity for learning, expression and sharing, some days are more conducive to beginning or advancing our endeavors.
In February, with Mars continuing its retrograde the entire month, one is advised to do research and planning, but not to initiate new projects, launch a new product, open a new business, or begin a new job.
The following days are good days in which we may expect positive outcomes with existing projects: February 1; 7-8; 10; 12-15; 18, 24, 26, and 28.
The rest of the days in February are best spent visioning, refining and improving, or redefining what is already in motion.

Sun Signs

ARIES:
All the visions you have had for a more enlightened world are becoming more relevant as you begin to see beyond the mundane aspects of life into a greater reality taking shape within you and around you. A question for you now is; do you really love your life? Since you can see clearly what is possible, you have the opportunity to lovingly break with the old and to create new goals that align your life and relationships with your higher vision.

TAURUS:
Your business or career path is highlighted and scheduled for an upgrade this month. As an earth sign, you are interested in having a solid foundation, but this month, your base is under review. What must be transformed is the philosophy or belief system you have operated from. Take the leap; you might find yourself in an entirely new creation field; one that better supports the manifestation of your future goals.

GEMINI:
You will be quick to recognize that something amazing is happening in your life experience at this time. Your longing for a more enlightened consciousness is realized as you find a growing attunement to the higher frequencies of love. Old patterns of imbalance in relationships have an opportunity for healing, and your creative self-expression matures. The way forward for the world is through actively expressing and experiencing love as our natural way of life.

CANCER:
Transformation often means letting new insights filter into your life without feeling that you have to challenge them. You may experience a major awakening that transforms your consciousness, giving you an entirely new perspective and sense of meaning in life. You are offered ways to expand your financial horizons that require a structured approach, and may lead to positive transformation. This month, remember to be crystal clear in the integrity of your closest relationships.

LEO:
Loveable Lion, it is time to look more closely into the amazing company you keep. You have the opportunity to actively catalyze deep understanding and healing in your intimate relationships. Realize that is always your choice to balance giving and receiving so that everyone feels their inclusion and importance to you. Have fun with a “make over” of your sense of identity and purpose in life.

VIRGO:
Perfectionist though you may be, your whole approach to organizing your life, your health and hygiene routines, and daily task management is subject to some fairly radical re-visioning and reconsideration this month. You may be asking yourself all over again what you want to be when you grow up! Balancing your resources is always important to you but you might see your way to allocating more of your funds and energy to those parts of your life that are clearly creative and fun.

LIBRA:
You sense a renewal in the air this month and find that your centered and calming presence can bring balance to a troubled world. Challenges in your home and family life remain, but you learn new ways of relating as you open to a whole new range of frequencies and creative solutions in every aspect of your life. Your long-term goals are continuing to undergo change, in response to evolving conditions in the world around you. Relax and enjoy your creativity.

SCORPIO:
Look to see if your vision is grounded and practical and that you have the necessary support so it can grow and expand easily. Your path ahead involves integrating higher frequency humanitarian values into the foundation of how you conduct your life. Creativity runs high for you this month and is inspired and empowered from deep spiritual wisdom. The re-working of some aspects of your business or career continues, and is aided by new vision and unexpected sources, as well as new financial resources.

SAGITTARIUS:
You see clearly what is needed and are inspired to share that wisdom with others; communicating your vision to the world. Financial realities in your life are likely to be challenged in ways that open you to a whole new level of understanding of true abundance. Although some of your philosophical or spiritual beliefs are undergoing much change, you learn that love is the medium at the heart and foundation of all aspects of your life.

CAPRICORN:
Money matters and financial wellbeing are revealed to you in an entirely new light as you find that many ways of the world begin to shift into a higher frequency and new forms. Resources flow to you as a result of the creation field you hold. Your work or business is being carefully restructured and some old contracts or agreements are being re-worked, bringing much transformation into your life. Grace abounds; be grateful.

AQUARIUS:
The new moon in your sign on February 13 links the healing energy of Chiron with the mystical insights of Neptune to bring breakthroughs in your consciousness. Innovative and progressive ideas abound as you become increasingly aware of the ways in which the world is magically transforming. Many old ideas and ways of expressing yourself lose importance as you appreciate that ending poverty, inspiring generosity and promoting a higher vision for the world brings you the greatest fulfillment.

PISCES:
The dream in your soul is ignited this month with Venus and Jupiter transiting your sign, expanding your “band width” of spiritual comprehension. At the same time, you are called upon to improve your daily work habits as well as your health, diet and fitness routines. Your long term goals and dreams are up for transformation in the light of a new emerging vision for your life, and your greatest fulfillment comes from deep inner spiritual connection.
