FEBRUARY 2023

An overview of February 2023.

February is a month of transition, not just the last month of winter in the northern hemisphere, or the last month of summer in the southern hemisphere: rather the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, on a personal and global scale. February is actually colored by the two significant transitions that occur in March. Structure loving Saturn enters altruistic Pisces and transformative Pluto, enters freedom loving Aquarius. Why read about these two March transits in February?

Because the choices you make, can directly affect your life, for the next two years to two decades. The following quote from January 2023, sums it up:…a rehearsal of the coming 20 years, individuality (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune in Aries) vs the communal (Pluto in Aquarius). In essence, in order to succeed in the future, the balance, between the spiritual and the tangible, the respect to individuality and the common good, is necessary.

The month of February, can be a time to set the wheels in motion, whether this regards a new or long overdue, project, move, a business deal or a personal affair. It is make it or break it time. There is no wrong choice, in February, as long as it is your clear and solid choice. For example, if you choose to end a partnership, business or personal, so be it. Apparently, it was standing on clay feet. Set boundaries. Unless you don’t care if a partnership ends, mind your temper and behavior (with both love and money), on February 4, 5, 16 and 23. Be careful with electricity and extreme sports. Upgrade your knowledge on technology. Out of the box ideas are favored and so is technology, provided you maintain your emotional connections, particularly after February 21. Venus enters passionate Aries on the 21st. It is well aspected to Jupiter and Mars, infusing passion and forward motion, to both our money and love affairs. Good intentions color the last days of the month, so does compassion and creativity. A tendency to deceive or take the easy way out, is also present.

Transformative PLUTO enters humanitarian Aquarius on March 24, 2023, until 2044.

Structural SATURN enters altruistic Pisces on March 8, 2023 to May 24. 2025 and sextiles Uranus, during this journey.

Expansive and lucky Jupiter is back in assertive and impatient Aries, until May 16. Be proactive, it is time to get things moving but don’t be impatient!

Uranus turned direct on January 23rd. Space exploration peeks. Stay connected to and aware of, our Earth’s needs.

In February, set boundaries… and move forward.

There is a Full Moon* at 16 degrees 41′ Leo, on the 5th.

It affects us all but mostly the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) and people with points to your chart here. You are directly affected by this Full Moon, if your birthday is May 1-11, August 1-11, November 3-13 and January 31- February 10.

In order to harvest the positive influence from such a moon, you need to find and keep the balance, between the ‘ego’ and the ‘whole’, emotional warmth vs emotional coolness and seeking attention vs seeking isolation. The Lion is regal, warm, creative and fearless when threatened. It follows its heart connections and instincts. Aquarius is freedom loving, a technology aficionado, wants to save the planet, cerebral and can be rather emotionally detached. This Full Moon brings our emotional needs, with their attachments or detachments, to surface, rather abruptly, as it is squared by Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius. What to do? For example, if you are coordinating a work, family or group project, do set boundaries but actually listen to others’ suggestions. Let your mind find the right words but speak from your heart. What you say and how you say it, remains crucial for your success, in every type of endeavor. Want to really elevate yourself this Full Moon? Nurture your soul. How? Be generous. Balance, as always, is key.

There is a New Moon** at 1 degree 22′ Pisces, on the 20th.

It affects us all, but mostly the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces ) but also the last degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) due to degrees in proximity.

You are directly affected by this New Moon, if your birthday is May 16-26, August 18-28, November 17-27, March 14- February 24.

Time for a new life journey to begin, as you can plant the seeds and dreams begin to grow into reality. This exciting ‘Odyssean journey’, is not without the seductive ‘sirens’, that could throw you off course. How? Through addictions, either to substances, toxic people or habits. Adopt a healthy, daily routine and keep both body and mind, grounded. Look to volunteer work or service to others and tap into the endless pool of joy, when you give, without expectations.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Astro-highlight for February 2023: Task master, tenacious, hard work rewarding, albeit limiting, Saturn, is now direct. Translation? Have you been patient, worked hard, consistently and kept an open mind to changes? You are slowly coming out of the woods and depending on your chart, your hard work begins to pay off, as January rolls in. You probably are exhausted, like an athlete is, a few meters before the finish line. Keep plugging along, don’t give up now, your finish line is in front of you, (March 7-24, 2023, depending on your chart)!

Astro Tip for the Fixed zodiac family (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, or people with points to your charts here); the North Node (Karmic evolution) at 05-08 degrees Taurus and 05-08 degrees Scorpio. Saturn is at an uncomfortable angle but in direct motion and is here to reward, or not. Collect good Karma, understand that limits can be a blessing in disguise: remember how you were treated in the past and don’t fall for the same act again (nebulous Neptune is retrograde). Do not be dictatorial, especially if you are a political leader with your Sun/Ascendant or points on Leo/Scorpio primarily.
