Teamwork Moves You Forward

02/09/2009 - 02/15/2009


Drama, destiny and new ideas come together to make this an exciting week. The lunar eclipse of February 9 brings to a dramatic culmination the themes the solar eclipse of January 26. Teamwork is the message as jolly Jupiter and the north node conjunct on February 13. Then mindful Mercury enters Aquarius on February 14, encouraging independent thinking and new ideas.

February 9: Leo lunar eclipse

Few events spell d-r-a-m-a more than an eclipse in Leo! Just as lunar eclipses are quite spectacular visually, astrologically they highlight and underscore an important theme in your life. Leo is a sign of leadership, fun and creativity making this a great time to shine in any of these areas. Look to where the sign Leo is placed in your birth chart for more information. Neptune's placement in this eclipse shows idealism is strengthened, but so is the possibility of disillusionment or scandal. The full moon is a culmination from the new beginnings of the last new moon, which was a solar eclipse in Aquarius on January 26. The full Moon is always an emotional high tide time. In the days following the full Moon but before the next new Moon, get a plan together to maximize what's working or to make changes that will make you feel more comfortable.

February 13: Jupiter conjunct north node

Last December 18, the north node entered group-oriented Aquarius with the message that team-work moves you forward and being too self-focused holds you back. As planets transit through Aquarius, they conjunct and energize this theme. Jupiter is like a magnifying glass; everything gets bigger and more noticeable with Jupiter's energy. You'll hear plenty about the importance of working together this week.

February 14: Mercury enters Aquarius

Mercury turned retrograde in Aquarius last month on January 11. Now direct, Mercury returns to this free-spirited sign bringing a fresh point of view after a needed reassessment. You have original ideas; now is the time to develop them and see just how far you can go with them. If you know which house in your chart Mercury is traveling through, you can apply those ideas to that area of your life. Above all leave old concepts behind. It is time to be future-oriented, inventive and to think outside of the box.

1. Thank you, Dream!

I just finished reading a website that I have to share - OMG! She talks about the Age of Aquarius - the song and how these planets are JUST like they talked about in the song!! It's toooo cool!

Here's the link:

But the pertinent words are:
Now, in the early morning of February 12 we start the new Aquarius alignment. This is when the Moon moves into Libra (7th house). This alignment culminates around 6:00 AM on February 14, which is Valentines Day. There will be five planets in Aquarius, plus the node. During this time period Jupiter will align with Mars in Aquarius and the moon will be in the 7th house.


Remember the song Aquarius. "When the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter aligns with Mars than peace will guide the planet, and love will steer the stars. This is the dawning of The Age of Aquarius. Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding. No more falsehoods or derisions. Golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelation, and the mind's true liberation. Aquarius! Aquarius! As our hearts go beating through the night, we dance into the dawn of day. To be the bearers of the water, our light will lead the way. We are the spirit of the Age of Aquarius." When the planets lined up in 1962 the moon was not in the 7th house. In this alignment the moon will be in the 7th house. The year 1962 brought in the first inkling of the new age and now it is ready to mature.

2. This gave me goosebumps, Delphinus.

I can't tell you how much I long for this. I feel like a person who has been in the desert without water but is getting closer and closer to the water source -- I can feel it in the air but can't yet see it.

Thank you so much for sharing it with us! :hug:
