Welcome to February. A lunar eclipse is in store for us as well as the end of Mercury retrograde this
month. We also will see stage 2 out of 3 of the Saturn opposition to Uranus. All of this happens in early
February. This promises to be a very active, stimulating month with as many as six planets in Aquarius. Time to
break out the test tubes and start inventing new solutions to this mess we find ourselves in. Hail to the Aquarian
mind; minds we all tend to underestimate (Thomas Edison, FDR, Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens, James Joyce,
Gertrude Stein, Jules Verne, Jean Auel, Ayn Rand, Galileo.)
It’s Not Ju$t the Economy
Pluto’s effects are surely showing themselves vividly in the global and national economies, but Pluto’s
significance is much more widespread than just money. It’s a whole way of life. Think of it this way: Let’s say
your family has gotten out of hand - dysfunctional and just not working harmoniously anymore. Pluto in Capricorn
is the big “sit down and talk intervention.” As I’ve said before, sometimes sweeping changes are necessary, and on
all levels. That time is now. It can be a great turning point if we seize it! Like him or not, we can’t look to
Obama to do it all - we all have to chip in.
Root Canals
The Pluto transit of Capricorn is very simple, actually. It strips away the cover of entities that have been
concealing decay inside (perhaps even subconsciously.) As the Scorpio, Neil Young, with his powerful Venus in
Scorpio put it in his song on Harvest: “There’s a World,”
“In the mountains,
in the cities,
You can see the dream.
Look around you.
Has it found you?
Is it what it seems?”
Don’t Ever Take Astrology Lightly
or Think It’s not Effective
The Sun enters the sign of Aquarius every year around January 19th or 20th. Aquarius is the sign of liberation
from restriction. Note that the Iran Hostage Crisis ended on January 20, 1981, the day Reagan was inaugurated (he
was an Aquarian) and the promise president Barack Obama made around January 20th to release the detainees at
Guantánamo within one year. (I’m not saying I’m for or against it, but that’s just one way Uranus/Aquarius works.)
It breaks the tedium.
Sun Sign Astrology Can Be Very Helpful Sometimes
Awhile back, I was working in customer support for a certain company, which means I had access to customer’s
birthdates. It really did come in handy when I had to talk to them; it gave me an edge in how to keep the
discussion more harmonious than what would have been possible if I hadn’t had that knowledge. For example, when I
talked to a(n):
Aries - I got right to the point; didn’t mince words, and I didn’t get offended if they were very direct. What’s
the bottom line?
Taurus - I took my time; I didn’t interrupt them. I was very cautious when it came to exact money amounts.
Taureans don’t take kindly to being overcharged, etc.
Gemini - I allowed them to chit-chat. I made sure they were aware of other options our company had to offer. I
also had to keep guiding them back to the central theme of the conversation.
Cancer - One usually has to wear some type of white gloves when talking with Cancers. You usually have to be very
careful not to get harsh with them in any way.
Leo - This sign is simply; treat them with respect and expect the same. Don’t tell them they’re wrong.
Virgo - Don’t tell them they’re wrong either - it’s most likely that it’s you that made the mistake if there is
one. Don’t fool around; keep all talk to straight business. Get all the details exactly right.
Libra - Be pleasant; manners and tact are everything with them. They are very flexible and appeasing if you play
nice.
Scorpio - Don’t try to disguise anything - it won’t work, and in fact will backfire on you. Don’t pry, they are
very private.
Sagittarius - Just say what you have to say (within company policies) and let them do their thing and all will be
fine (and fun!)
Capricorn - Just stick to the “way it’s supposed to be done.” Don’t throw them any curveballs. Be official and
respect their title and/or position.
Aquarius - Be friendly, they are very open. Let them be a bit off-beat if they wish; that’s their nature. Listen
carefully to them - they are usually way ahead of their time.
Pisces - The most complex, unpredictable of all. Be kind. Don’t expect them to stay on track; keep things simple
and nice. Don’t let them rip themselves off.
Planetary Events
2/1 Mercury goes Direct, 2:11am - always a relief. All of a sudden, you laptop starts working again.
2/2 Venus enters Aries, 10:42pm - Time to be bold - pop the question.
2/4 Mars enters Aquarius, 10:56am - Join the crowd… Now there are 5 planets in Aquarius, plus the North Node of
the Moon. Meaning: time to do your thing, time to break out of old ways and risk.
2/5 Uranus opposes Saturn, 6:00am - For the second time. This one first collided on election day. This is a
biggie. If you are feeling irritable, it’s not because your best friend voted for the opposite party, it’s because
you need to balance your conservative side with your liberal side. We all have both.
2/9 Lunar Eclipse, 21° Leo 00’ 9:49am - This eclipse is massive as the Sun is next to Neptune. It’s time to do
things on a big level (Moon in Leo.) Think of what you can do to help out the collective - something humanitarian.
That’s from all the crowd of planets in Aquarius now. Aquarius, the sign of great paradoxes. Do for yourself as
you do for others, it’s one and the same.
2/18 Sun enters Pisces, 7:47am - With all these outer planets being active, don’t be tempted to float off into
outer space. Kindness is the word for Pisces. Or, go swimming.
2/24 New Moon, 6° Pisces 35’, 8:35pm - Right on my Moon, o boy. This lunation is a perfect time to go within and
pay special attention that quiet inner voice. Pisces is very subtle; its voice is barely heard in these noisy,
chaotic times. All the great spiritual books say the same thing - listen to that still voice within.
