Comparison Interpretation
of You and your Lover

Aires (March
21 - April 19) Fire. Ruling planet Mars. Top
Chaos
and confusion can yet breed wisdom, Aries. This is a time of back-and-forth
movement rather than straight ahead. Although you are full of energy
in some ways, you find yourself pausing in mid-flight to reflect
on where you are going. This is in fact an excellent time to look
to the inside for answers to questions you perhaps until recently
didn't know to ask. There has been a strong intuitional level within
you, building for weeks now, and it serves you well. Some facets
of your worldview might be crumbling but there is much to be gained
from the ruins as you open to inner guidance. You suspect there
is more to life than you have been letting on, and are attempting
to suss out what is really going on here.
As the month begins, you are full of vim and vigor in the wake of
the very powerful Aquarius New Moon from the end of last month. You
are also slightly incapacitated with your ruler Mars now in full-on
backwards flight through your sector of service to others, everyday
working world responsibilities and health. All of these areas are
subject to rethinking and resulting reactivation at this time. You
are engaged in looking more deeply into your motivation, so that
whereas with you sometimes just to see an option is to act on it,
you might now be taking things a little more slowly and cautiously.
You are a strong stand for yourself, but it an inner stand that you
are most firmly committed to.
That does not change the basic forward-going
consistency of this monthly period. While you are full to the brim
of deep thoughts you are still allowing a positive vision to possess
you, by and large. Especially if you have a March birthday, or a
Rising degree early in the sign, you are thinking of the past and
even the present as a gateway to something that is not only different
but fundamentally better. How to get there is another story however,
and one to which you will devote considerable energy over the weeks
and months ahead of you in this game-changer of a year of 2012. The
changes that you are in the midst of definitely include relationship
issues.
The Full Moon that comes along on Tuesday, February 7th,
speaks to you of relationship needs, since it precedes by one day
the entrance of Venus into your sign. You are feeling a little feisty
with so many stressful aspects surrounding Mars, your ruler, but
you are a spiritual fighter at this powerful juncture, a warrior
for truth and for discovering your true pathway forward. Your self-expression
is blossoming now, and in direct proportion to how accurately you
can perceive the direction that your heart want to travel and how
quickly you can make the necessary course corrections to come into
alignment. Relationship concerns can either help or hinder, depending
on whether that portion of your existence is proceeding smoothly.
With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's
Day, you might find yourself negotiating a settlement. You are examining
the very basis of your relationships, looking under the covers of
your motivation in this and in all areas of your life, and re-creating
for yourself the story of how you arrived at this point. A deep spirit
of compassionate investigation underlies all your analysis so that
you are thinking with your heart as well as your mental structure.
It helps as always to let go of any preconceptions that you might
have regarding any aspect of your life. This includes the life of
your unconscious process that is ever powerful and ever with you.
The New Moon of Tuesday, February 21st, takes you into another world
deep inside, where, just as Alice found when she stepped through
the looking glass, nothing is quite what it seems although you must
still try to make heads and tails out of whatever it is that you
encounter.
Taurus (April
20 - May 20) Earth. Ruling planet Venus. Top
You are operating in a hazily optimistic and future-oriented mode these
days, Taurus, and seeing just how far that can take you. You are yet simultaneously
very focused on your work in the world and bent on taking big chances in
order to maintain your momentum there. In some ways like those cartoon characters
that are dueling right off the edge of the cliff, in one way you are feeling
frisky and free, but only when you choose not to look down. In another part
of yourself you might be discontent, and not only a little, over how far
you are removed from everyday concerns. But since it's working for you, you
do not have to dissect what exactly reality consists of, whether it is on
or off that cloud; it merely is.
As the month begins, you are feeling very present in the achievement-oriented
outer world, and yet in some ways far removed form that world as well. It
is as if you are being held back somehow from fully participating, and rather
than the more obvious spectrum of events and situations, taking the opportunity
to explore inner dimensions of your own devising. Relationship is additionally
on your mind at this time, and creates perhaps a focus on seeing the places
where you are stuck and need to make changes. Your basic sense of optimism
is strong however and you feel that the future is unfolding as it should
for you right now, while you are simultaneously taking a more inner look
at what still needs to happen, a viewpoint that makes sense to you and to
you alone. You are bringing other viewpoints in, more as a contrast to and
a stabilization of your own, and yet they contribute something quite important.
There is a way that everyone you meet can be seen as representatives of the
natural wisdom of the universe, speaking to you through them, as ambassadors
of the other-dimensional realities if only they knew it.
With the Full Moon
of Tuesday, February 7th that feeling might be magnified. You are seeing
Goddess in everything now when you half-close your eyes to look from the
standpoint of that inner place within you. There is wisdom in that seeing
and fundamental optimism also, but definitely some feeling of lack and of
limit is involved as well. One could say that this is part of the received
wisdom, that sense that not everything that you conceive can truly come off,
much as you would like it to, and also that it doesn't much matter about
that in the grander scheme of things.
These feelings of limitations might
be intensified by the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, February
14th, which is also Valentine's Day. There are strong factors operating within
you that carry both suggestions, one that the universe is infinite in its
scope and yet also the other that it is limited in its action, the mantra
of life in the physical plane. At your best, you are filled with the desire
to change things and yet also somewhere down within your soul with the patience
and acceptance to accept them as they are, and are in any case mulling over
recent events and trying to shuffle them into a different kind of sense that
will give you the seed for your next set of changes.
These might begin as
soon as a week later, on Tuesday, February 21st, with the very powerful New
Moon in your sector of wishes and hopes and future plans. This is a time
when your ideas are running wild and when some of them might even come true;
the best time all year to focus on what you really want your future to look
like as it begins to shape up over the course of this climactic monthly cycle.
Gemini (May
21 - June 20) Air. Ruling planet Mercury. Top
Everyone around you is joining hands, Gemini, although not necessarily in
the physical. You are tempted to shout “alle alle outsinfree” just
like in the childhood game. A mystical nature overcomes you at times so that
the other-dimensionality of the outer universe is no longer just a rumor.
You are, from the security of a deeply felt place of inner refuge, discovering
new worlds not so much to conquer as to enliven and even to embrace. All
this would be wonderful were it not for the nagging thought that you must
somehow still take care of real-world business. This is not as much of a
problem as you think since you are simultaneously occupying at least two
realities at once. Try clapping your hands three times and softly whispering "make
it so."
As the month begins you are in a mode of philosophical speculation. Even
more than usual for you – your curiosity and urge to explore other-dimensional
realities is strong and vibrant and informs your sense of reality fully as
much as the varied and colorful life within strictly the physical plane.
Your sense of the depths of your being has an important purpose in that you
are investigating the well-springs of desire with an idea of better understanding
these emotions, including any dysfunctional patterns stemming from early
wounding that are still frozen in place these many years later and still
causing you problems when they arise from out of the blue to throw their
monkey-wrenches straight into the machinery with which you navigate your
everyday world. By looking more closely into these problems you can move
beyond them, not by willing them out of existence and not by ignoring them
either, but by facing them with a calm and fearless acceptance which allows
you to more fully integrate these walled-off feelings and move on.
The Full
Moon of Tuesday, February 7th, comes along as a relatively peaceful and thoughtful
energy that yet strongly encourages this process of increased awareness.
You have tremendous drive at this juncture it is true, but it is mostly aimed
at the inside of your psyche. You are in essence a spiritual warrior for
the cause of truth, and not the shifting and insubstantial truth of consensus
thinking but rather the deeply intuitional truth that comes to you from within
the purview of your own mind and heart. You are determined to shift what
is necessary in you and in others around you to make that truth a more concrete
and fully present reality for you as you ease into an uncertain future, resting
in the knowledge that one thing at least cannot fail you and that is your
ultimate dependence on Spirit and your inner strength to guide you through.
With the Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, you
are looking into the events of the last few weeks even more closely. There
is a way that you are hoping to refine your understanding of what has transpired
and see things is a realistic and also boldly idealistic fashion as you continue
through a month of massive changes, with more on the horizon. Nothing will
make sense t you know if it is not the “path with heart” as Carlos
Castaneda puts it, namely that vocation which is also the avocation of your
soul making sense out of this world.
You are feeling this idea even more
strongly at the time of the New Moon a week later, taking place on Tuesday,
February 21st in your career sector and in conjunction with mystical Neptune.
Then you are challenged to have it all; the consciousness of struggle and
limitation, and of prior wounding, together with the brightest possible hope
for a future that somehow knits everything together, just as it should be,
and in some sense already was.
Cancer (June
21 - July 22) Water. Ruling
planet is the Moon. Top
There
is no time like the
present, Cancer.
Some form of spiritual
evolution awaits
and the moment to
act is getting near
to hand. Transformation
is truly in the air
for you these days
and you have as well
a deeply felt intuitional
basis to draw upon
that gives you needed
guidance. You have
been building up
to taking some huge
leap of faith that
will propel you forward
and, yet, still you
hesitate to make
the move. As you
mull over your situation
in the midst of this
powerful month you
are able to recognize
that while prudent
caution is a healthy
reaction, you might
need to look more
closely. If it is
only fear that is
holding you back
you have no real
choice but to forge
ahead.
As the month begins,
you are riding the
wave of the recent
New Moon in your
sector of intimacy
and personal evolution.
This is an important
time when you are
on the cusp of change
and you do well to
treat as sacred all
the many and varied
aspects of each decision
process. You also
might find that significant
others in your life
have much to contribute
right now, and that
your understanding
of your entire relationship
dynamic is altering,
including the mechanism
by means of which
you incorporate other
viewpoints into your
own. You are in the
midst of an entirely
mystical time of
profound change and
you benefit by honoring
its power and by
doing your best to
recognize, as you
go through your metamorphosis,
the rock-bottom fundamentals
of yourself and of
your situation and
what by contrast
you can let go of.
The first weekend
of the month, beginning
on Friday, February
4th, is a significant
time for you when
many things about
your situation may
become clear, or
at least come further
available to your
consciousness with
altered perspective,
mystical Neptune
having entered your
sector of Higher
Mind. You have a
strong feeling of
the worlds beyond
worlds that reside
within you, and an
intimation of how
that awareness might
affect your current
activities. There
are likely issues
of past wounding
that have been occupying
some level of your
mind as well, as
irritants or else
as wandering feelings
of disharmony within
you seeking some
solution. You are
a warrior for inner
peace right now and
implacable in your
determination not
to settle for anything
less than you truly
deserve.
With the
Full Moon of Tuesday,
February 7th, several
factors may change.
You are moving in
the direction of
greater balance all
around, and of integrating
the past with the
present tense of
your situation. You
are concerned at
this time with making
a better stand for
yourself in the weeks
and months ahead
than you have heretofore.
While the future
does not appear as
entirely rosy, it
engages your focus,
and it is at least
with a potentially
optimistic attitude
that you look upon
it. There have been
surprises in how
everything actualizes
and these will continue,
perhaps even more
so, but the trend
is still there toward
the light of day.
With the Last Quarter
Moon of Tuesday,
February 14th, Valentine's
Day, you are making
another tack in your
windward course,
getting closer to
your goal by thinking
your way through.
This is a time when
you are examining
everything that has
happened over the
previous three weeks
of the lunar cycle,
and rearranging their
significance in terms
of new-found understanding.
You are getting your
thoughts together
in preparation for
a better perspective
to dawn upon you,
and although the
actual sunrise is
perhaps a bit dim
on the horizon you
are making definite
progress.
The New
Moon of the following
week, taking place
on Tuesday, February
21st, is an important
time as well, when
you are even more
involved in working
with the twin perspectives
of idealism and real-world
limitation. That
pairing seems to
imply that only one
side is truly present
and must win out;
yet the reality is
more wonderful, since
the nature of the
soul is paradox and
at that level you
are capable of holding
opposite concepts
simultaneously. And
it is at soul-level
that the most important
work for you is happening.
Leo (July
23 - August 22) Fire. Ruling
planet is the Sun. Top
You are particularly attuned to partnership these days, Leo, and may be
taking a break from feeling as though it is all up to you. While working
it as a team, you are yet very capable as well of subtly taking charge when
the situation calls for it, but in so doing you are obeying, rather than
commanding, the forces of nature that are flaring up like solar flames all
around you. You feel mystically inspired and yet more fully present. It is
one thing to get a sense of direction from your own single mind and quite
another to get that same feeling in concert with another, but you are managing
to pull off both of these feats without even breaking a sweat or flexing
an obvious muscle.
As the month begins you are sailing pretty well with outer world concerns
and yet also adhering to that still small voice within that speaks of mysteries.
It is a temptation to get yourself way out there with your work in the world,
out on a limb as it were. It might seem as if the opportunity is too precious
to miss out on, that you need to go for it heart and soul right now, but
you nevertheless do well to pay attention to other areas of your life that
serve as ballast. These could be revealed to you in the course of a more
formal sense of meditation practice, or in simply by following inner guidance
as you receive the notion. Journaling helps.
You have huge intuitive resources
available to you right now and you might as well take advantage of the opportunity
that this degree of inner wisdom can provide. Intelligence reports from a
universal Source might also come your way in the guise of partnership perspectives
that seem to differ from your own. You are very invested in relationship
concerns right now but you benefit from pursuing these from the standpoint
of how they fit into a bigger picture vantage point. You possess a strong
sense that significant persons for you may be able to provide a fresh perspective
and approach as well as a sounding board as you confront for yourself the
question of how your own life is unfolding, and why.
The Full Moon in your
sign taking place on Tuesday, February 7th, provides you with plenty of food
for thought in this regard. This is a time of reveling in issues of self
and other, and of making a philosophical endeavor out of whatever partnership
issues arise, so that these are recycled into useful material for your thoughts
as well as for your heart. You may find a mystical roadway through portals
that you never suspected were lying there in wait for you.
The Last Quarter
Moon on Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, provides you with yet another
vantage point on your process of growth and integration, and yet another
way to regard significant partners. This is a period of mulling over where
it is that you have been in the light of recent reflections, and with an
eye to where you might ultimately be headed. Even though you are strong at
this time for jumping ahead and also for holding back, and there is no easy
resolution to this quandary, you still remain relatively optimistic about
your chances for eventual breakthrough.
The New Moon comes along a week later,
on Tuesday, February 21st, taking place in your sector of intimacy and personal
evolution. You are still very involved at this time with others as an adjunct
to your own arc of development, but this period is also in some ways just
the icing on the cake of recent explorations. There is an even more mystical
side of yourself that is calling you. Opportunities provided now open further
doorways that lead you toward rather than away from your own center.
Virgo (August
23 - September
22) Earth. Ruling
planet Mercury. Top
You are working the mystery, Virgo. This month you are acknowledging more
fully the powerful road of self-development that you have been on lately,
and taking it another step further into conscious choices. There are still
knots to unravel. You are getting deliberate about making a spiritual pilgrimage
to the center of these conundrums and conducting a town-hall meeting within
your own mind and heart on how best to accomplish this daring feat. Others
are important now and they shake you out of your winter slumber and urge
you to get on with what you started. These significant persons in your life
are there not only as fellow conspirators but also to remind you to open
up to all that you are and to all that you can become.
As the month begins, you are more fully engaged than ever in finding your
life purpose, however you might conceive of that now. You have been witnessing
your reactions, doing your homework to better understand yourself, and the
resultant change of worldview is apparent especially when you contrast your
current state of development with where you have only recently been. This
is a powerful time of self-recognition and of looking more deeply into what
you have been up to all this time, and where you are truly headed. As the
twelve-year-old protagonist in the recent movie “Hugo” relates,
everything, even each person, has a purpose; the universe doesn't come with
any left-over and useless parts.
The difficulty of course is in finding out
just what that purpose might actually entail – bearing in mind at least
the clue that that purpose is not to be found within the TV advertising advice
on how to be successful and beautiful in the context of consumer spending.
The entrance of Neptune into your relationship sector on Friday, February
3rd, might cause a bit of confusion, certainly idealization, in that area,
but you are still primarily concerned with finding inner purpose. To this
end the angel presences that are always with you, perhaps appearing to you
in the form of intuitional voices from inside, are more poignant and even
more succinct. They want to reach out to you with guidance but you need to
make the first move.
The Full Moon that comes along on Tuesday, February
7th, puts some icing on the cake of these nascent ideas, since the Sun conjoins
your ruler Mercury in the sector of discipleship to your Higher Self, while
the opposing Moon lodges in your sector of dream imagination. You are investigating
inner realities more than outer ones in any case, and this juncture might
provide you with inspiration that could come to you as night dreams or even
as daytime ones, or cross your consciousness as mystical events. There is
an other-dimensional universe of vast proportions that lies just outside
of normal waking conscious and that you can catch a glimpse of out of the
corner of your eye when you relax into it.
You might find that you have an
unusual connection to significant others in your life, to partners or to
close friends, that has associated with it an admixture of idealization and
also doubt. Your mission, and you cannot choose but to accept, is to look
more closely into these important connections, and into all the surprising
and beautifully developing events of your life, and try to see the world
behind the world of surface appearances.
The Last Quarter Moon of Tuesday,
February 14th, Valentine's Day, is another important time when meditation
rather than direct action will be your most reliable pathway forward. You
are engaged at this time in a process of summing up all that has come before
and rearranging the message until it fits like a key in a lock, opening up
new neural connections within you.
The New Moon of February 28th is a powerful
one for you, and stresses relationship with the beyond in the form of important
people in your life. They come to you not only as connections and as mirrors
for your own process, but as ambassadors of the galaxy and the vitalizing
life currents flowing through you. Don't question whether they are real as
people or actors in a cosmic drama designed to enhance your own experience
of yourself. They are both.
Libra (September
23 - October 22) Air. Ruling planet Venus. Top
The season of surprises has not ended, Libra. If anything your flirtation
has become even more intense with unexpected offerings on the part of the
cosmos that surrounds and nourishes you. Sudden moves in response are almost
second nature by now. You are called to service and to more vibrant self-expression,
but not from the standpoint of merely ego involvement. The universe is affording
you an opportunity these days to make radical changes in your life and in
the way that you do relationship with others, and to make these in line with
inner promptings that you can no longer ignore; these take you into better
alignment with your highest intention for yourself, or with at least as much
of that soul-purpose as you are currently able to acknowledge.
As the month begins, you are riding the wave of the powerful New Moon from
the end of last month in your sector of creativity, childhood and romance.
This is a time of high-energy self-expression, and you might be tempted to
the wilder side of this surge, leaving responsibilities in the dust behind
you. There are however competing forces of sobriety and self-control that
pull you in quite the opposite direction. For the resolution of this polarity
there is no easy compromise except to attempt as well as you are able to
honor each side as the impulse arises or else the contrasting sense of caution.
These cosmic forces that seemingly toy with us have actually their function,
moving us forward with our spiritual evolution. This is the ultimate soul
destination that we are more than ready for but which seems always just a
bit out of reach unless difficulty compels us. As Neitzche famously said, “what
doesn't kill me makes me strong,” or to put it more simply, adversity
builds character.
There is a mystical flow to your life right at this moment
which is very subtle and to which it is therefore not easy to tune in. This
is an inherent part of you nonetheless and it is also in this monthly cycle
coming quite strongly to the fore, perhaps being perceived as angel guidance
or the emanations of your Higher Self. You might find instead a natural disinclination
for completely trusting the messages that you receive in this way. This is
yet another side of the nay-saying element that is being invoked by these
difficult configurations. It begins to yield as you take the largest possible
viewpoint on your situation into account.
The Full Moon that comes along
on Tuesday, February 7th, represents as always one culmination of the arc
of development that was begun at the time of the New Moon, 15 days earlier.
In this case you are reaching a plateau of self-acceptance that includes
acknowledging your past and planning for a different future that will hopefully
better integrate the energies swirling around you and through you at this
time. Events with significant partnerships in your life may suddenly crop
up now as well, and these might help you to move – on way or another – through
some of the personal development issues that you have been contemplating.
With the Last Quarter Moon, taking place on Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's
Day, you are definitely feeling your way into the dynamics of inter-personal
relationship and its underlying set of motivations. You are also engaged
in a process of redefining your understanding of everything that has gone
before, up to this point in the Lunar cycle. It helps to recognize that while
relationship is of vital importance to you it serves as an adjunct to your
own process of growth and awareness, rather than the other way round.
The
New Moon a week later, taking place on Tuesday, February 21st in your sector
of the discipleship to your higher self, takes this as its starting point
and nudges you in the direction of increasingly higher commitment to your
innermost goals and values.
Scorpio (October
23 -
Nov 21) Water. Ruling
planets
Mars,
Pluto. Top
Your world is out of joint, Scorpio, and only you know the way out of the
trap that has been set for you. The nature of these times, and of your deeply
felt intuitional responses, requires a fundamental shift. Where some of this
will play out: home and family concerns, and finding your emotional sense
of security within yourself. The good news is that your release is fully
within your own grasp when you have the necessary fortitude. The bad news
is that it does not come easily or entirely without pain. Of course you stand
to lose some part of your normal waking identity in order to gain that which
will outlast this least part of yourself, and hides you from who at base
you truly are.
As the month begins, you are feeling the energy of the recent powerful New
Moon from the end of last month in your home and family sector. You are more
involved these days with family and tribal connections since not only have
there likely been events that have transpired that make you look more closely
into your dynamics in this important area but also due to a general mood
of introspection that has prevailed with you lately and has allowed you to
see things with a different and more internal perspective. You are also engaged
in examining your close inter-personal relationships with an eye to better
understanding them and their impact on your life.
There is plenty of joy
for you right now in this area of relationship support and also you have
been encountering some limitations there, and some key questions that you
have become more and more involved with seeking to answer. Your ruler Mars
is retrograde right now in your sector of societal connection and group affiliation
as well as future plans, and therefore you have been taking a more introspective
stance lately.
This is true even more so with the advent of the Full Moon
of Tuesday, February 7th, when Saturn is just retrograde as well, and just
on the edge of your identity sector. You are getting a dimly felt sense of
limitation running through your life at this time that does not easily resolve
itself, but is only a whisper. You might find that this is an excellent time
to engage in a process of meditation, since it is possible that it will all
become more clear when you take the time to turn within.
The Last Quarter
Moon of Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, is accompanied by this same
contrast between getting yourself out there with verve and confidence and
also feeling that there are insurmountable obstacles to achieving what you
want, so that you constantly have to go to plan B – which is more than
a little frustrating, especially if you don't have any idea why you keep
underestimating the situation or your ability to get over. There are some
ways that this conundrum works to your advantage however, since you are engaged
at this time in a fruitful process of reevaluation of past successes and
failures.
You have much more energy to pursue your endeavors with the New
Moon of the following week, taking place on Tuesday, February 21st in your
creativity sector, although again this is something of a mixed blessing.
You will be very much head in the clouds at that time, just when you need
to get even more grounded, so the same paradoxical push and pull continues
into late February and early March. The only thing to do is to let go, and
to keep on letting go, but this is never easy for an active mind.
Sagittarius (Nov
22 - Dec
21) Fire. Ruling
planet
Jupiter. Top
It's
a long
road that
has no
turning,
Sagittarius,
and you
are beginning
to find
yours.
You are
also finding
your footing
in the
midst of
difficult
and often
troubling
times,
buoyed
by the
notion
that with
enough
faith you
can move
mountains.
Life may
be quite
a roller-coaster
ride at
present
and it
is truly
a difficult
passage
from where
you are
now to
what you
must eventually
become.
You operate
on this
thin rope
both for
the sake
of the
collective
and for
yours alone.
Being possessed
of a fount
of brilliant
ideas and
imaginings
now, you
are nevertheless
in an excellent
position
to make
vast headway
over the
next few
weeks and
months.
The result
is that
you will
hardly
recognize
yourself
come the
summer,
and maybe
that could
be an acceptable
goal.
As the
month begins,
you are
in an exploratory
mode, looking
beneath
the covers
of all
your motivations,
especially
those involving
the way
that you
get your
point across
to others,
including
the very
basis of
what you
are about.
This is
an idealistic
and also
a potentially
confusing
time for
you when
your sense
of security
is shifting
to inner
standards.
There is
an intention
that has
been building
up inside
of you
for many
weeks now
to exemplify
and further
define
your notion
of who
you really
are and
how that
translates
into principled
action
on behalf
of the
big-picture
viewpoint
that you
habitually
bring to
the table,
and which
has now
expanded
to include
a set of
mystical
imperatives
that have
become
too significant
to suppress
any longer.
It's a
question
of consistency
and of
walking
your talk.
Communication
with your
peers is
key for
you right
now, and
it helps
you to
define
and honor
your stance.
You are
essentially
a fighter
for a cause
these days,
and you
have only
recently
understood
that fighting
for your
own beliefs
is the
most rewarding
in the
long run,
even if
these are
not always
in accordance
with what
the collective
seems to
espouse.
In the
end, you
might be
surprised
at the
extent
of the
support
that you
can dig
up from
like-minded
people
all around
you who
might come
popping
up out
of the
woodwork
once you
yourself
are clear
regarding
your position.
That clarity
might take
a while
to arrive
but the
scope of
your transition
is already
palpable.
The Full
Moon that
comes along
on Tuesday,
February
7th, marks
the beginning
of a thoughtful
and compassionate
mid-month
period.
Although
the means
to get
yourself
there could
still elude
you, the
goal at
least is
a better
fit between
spiritual
principles
and self-definition.
Without
a strong
enough
stake in
a future
you are
aiming
toward
with your
whole heart
behind
it, it's
simply
getting
harder
to play
the game.
There are
still compromises
between
what you
desire
to do in
order to
make your
achievements
really
count,
and what
you must
do in order
to maintain
that surface
day-to-day
existence
that has
its own
momentum.
It is important
not to
get frustrated
by this
contrast,
since in
reality
your best
is all
that you
can do.
With the
Last Quarter
Moon of
Tuesday,
February
14th, the
same day
as Valentine's
Day, you
might be
celebrating
your own
heart as
well as
that of
significant
others.
This is
a time
of re-thinking
who you
truly are
and where
you have
gotten
to along
the road
to wholeness
which you
are assaying
to travel,
acknowledging
that there
is a world
from deep
inside
you, self-generated
rather
than dependent
in any
way on
the opinions
of consensus
thinking.
You are
reformulating
everything
that has
led you
to this
point as
a story
of getting
closer
and closer
to the
ideal.
The New
Moon of
Tuesday,
February
21st, takes
place in
your sector
of home
and family,
and reemphasizes
the deep
basis within
you for
everything
in the
outer world
that you
do. This
final week
of the
month and
on into
March celebrates
this mystical
side of
life that
represents
the core
of who
you are.
It is difficult
sometimes
to distinguish
the still
small voice
within
you from
the rush
of outer
circumstance
but it
is increasingly
important
that you
do so,
and that
you recognize
inner achievement
as fully
as important
as the
outer.
Capricorn (Dec

It's a paradox
and a conundrum,
Capricorn.
Your future
is coming toward
you now at
express-train
speed and yet
you still feel
stuck. You
are energized
around career
and public
acclaim and
at the same
time feeling
like you need
to re-think
everything
in the light
of an orthogonally
oriented process
that brings
in the mystical.
Then too, part
of the problem
is the mud
that clogs
up your pathway
forward which
may in fact
be calcified
from old ways
of thought
and of action
that have long
outlived their
usefulness
but linger
on. The road
ahead is arduous
and yet something
is nevertheless
destabilizing
your comfort
zone and calling
you to venture
onward. What
is it? And
how do you
burst through
the barriers
and get with
it?
As the month
begins, you
are feeling
into the flow
of the powerful
New Moon energy
from the closing
week of the
previous month,
taking place
in your sector
of resources
and values.
Your values
are shifting
at what seems
sometimes like
a glacial pace,
and other times
rather suddenly.
Enlightenment
beckons in
fits and starts
but is not
without its
potential drawbacks
which include
shaking up
your system
in ways that
can be difficult
to take. You
long for speeding
ahead with
your plans
and for the
comfort of
a known set
of rules and
procedures,
forming the
train tracks
that can be
navigated without
much extra
effort to lead
you to your
ticketed station.
And yet you
also realize
deep inside
yourself somewhere
that in order
to arrive at
your true destination
you must jump
these tracks
and make your
lonely path
without them
through a dissolving
countryside;
the path that
is yours and
yours alone
to travel.
As you are
feeling your
way into these
ideas, you
might perhaps
recognize that
you are on
the verge of
breakthrough
but not quite
able to get
there. A process
has begun but
it will take
many weeks
before it is
anything close
to complete.
This would
be a disaster
if you were
interested
in nothing
but the arrival,
but you are
fortunate in
having some
joy right now
also in the
journeying.
With the advent
of the Full
Moon of Tuesday,
February 7th,
when your ruler
Saturn also
changes direction,
you might feel
yet another
shift in the
level and direction
of your basic
awareness.
This ushers
in a relatively
mellow time
period, when
balance is
sought and
eventually
found, and
when issues
of self and
other come
to the fore
for better
recognition.
You are engaged
at this time
in an active
search within
you for a better
handle on life
and love, and
in some ways
a solitary
position works
best, or at
least one with
a strong admixture
of solitude.
This idea carries
over to the
time of the
Last Quarter
Moon of Tuesday,
February 14th,
which is ironically
also Valentine's
Day. You might
easily feel
at this time
as well that
there is as
much to be
gained by silent
reflection
and contemplation
of your issues
as by engaging
in dialogue
with loved
ones regarding
these same
concerns. Certainly
there is room
for both approaches;
fully engaging
with another
and still with
one part of
your mind always
somewhere deep
inside yourself,
silently witnessing
your changes.
The New Moon
a week later,
coming along
on Tuesday,
February 21st,
is another
powerful time,
when you are
drawn to the
mystical as
much as to
the real and
seemingly solid
boundaries
of the physical
world. This
last week of
the month is
still a meditative
period for
you although
a more energetic
one; it is
also a joyous
time when much
that is good
will be offered.
Your communication
sparkles now,
but not without
taking into
full account
the fundamentally
serious nature
of your play.

Another day is dawning, Aquarius, and this time there's plenty of heat but
not quite enough light. A new beginning for you in this your birthday time
of the year turns out to be something of a mixed blessing, since although
you have the impulse to forge ahead right now and make the most of it, you
might find yourself hesitating in your forward momentum. You could blame
it on the complexity of what you are trying to accomplish. There is an amalgam
that you seek made of outer necessity and inner desire, of cheerful compliance
with the powers that be and yet soul-level attunement to what makes your
heart sing – and you won't be satisfied with substitutes. Compassion
for yourself and for the state of the world demands no less.
As the month begins, you are struggling to find yourself in spite of an embarrassment
of riches in the form of blazing self-confidence and determination. The powerful
New Moon in your sign from the last ten days of January was also in aspect
to both your traditional ruler, namely Saturn, and the modern ruler of your
sign as well, Uranus, with Jupiter aspecting both placements. You not only
have tons of energy but also the support of family and friends to keep you
going. Your communication outreach is heartfelt and even authoritative, and
your dedication to your ideals is strong, although you are also perhaps attempting
to define what this means more precisely in the light of recent experience.
In experiencing the recent Quarter Moon in your home and family sector, you
have found yourself in a mixed state that represents a compromise between
prudent caution and the full-on optimism of your earlier conception.
There
is a sober-minded reassessment happening now and over the remainder of the
month that, depending on your point of view, either puts out your fires or
else grounds your dreaming into a more concrete and realizable form. You
really need go with your gut on this, and trust to your inner guidance. The
success that you seek will not be granted in terms that the eyes of the world
can easily acknowledge; it may be that only from the inner perspective of
soul-level purpose will the ring of truth be recognized.
The Full Moon that
comes along on Tuesday, February 7th, provides you with a sense of balance
and greater integration. You are more open to the input that you receive
from others now, and important partners can thus provide not only a useful
sounding board for you own ideas but also contribute another side from their
perspective. With Neptune now in Pisces and with Saturn standing still in
the sky, the amalgam of sense and nonsense regarding what you are up to is
complex and tricky; of course what is actually sense can indeed seem like
nonsense in the eyes of the world, and vice-versa. Your finances and your
values are subject to this two-sided view of what is going on, and you must
find a way to choose between these logically incommensurable possibilities.
With the advent of the Last Quarter Moon on Tuesday, February 14th, Valentine's
Day, you are putting this contrast to an even greater test. It might be that
you are on the point of giving up on something precious or else that you
are finally coming to your senses and you will have to choose. One clue here
is that you already know the answer inside and have only to come to a better
understanding of what your deep intuition is prompting you to go with. In
order to find out, separate from other voices, you might need to conduct
a tea ceremony with just one participant, yourself.
The New Moon takes place
a week later, on Tuesday, February 21st, in your resources sector, and while
there is more energy available to you now, the net result might be that rather
than the concrete answers you habitually seek it will lead you instead to
further questions.
Pisces (Feb

Ruling
planets

Dream on,
Pisces,
and recognize
that your
dreams
might easily
morph into
so-called
reality
and… vice-versa.
This is
definitely
a time
to look
more closely
at your
life in
three dimensions
even as
a surge
of energy
takes you
quite beyond
them. Your
resources,
including
financial
ones, have
been fluctuating
for weeks
now, with
surprising
pay-offs
as well
as shortfalls
so that
there is
no discernable
trend.
Now in
this present
month the
drama of
it all
fades to
less importance
compared
to finding
out why
your basic
sense of
security
has been
so affected
by what
is after
all only
a concept.
Relationship
is another
area that
is subject
to a more
intense
scrutiny
than usual
as you
mentally
meander
through
surface
events
in search
of the
deeper – and
more truly
vital – meaning.
As the
month begins,
you are
feeling
the rush
of the
recent
New Moon
from the
end of
last month
in your
sector
of dream
realities
behind
and beyond
your conscious
mind. This
is a place
you are
already
comfortable
and familiar
with, but
in this
period
you might
feel even
more sensitive
than usual.
You are
mentally
pregnant
as well
with the
possibilities
inherent
with the
entrance
of mystical
Neptune
into your
sign, the
sign that
it rules,
which comes
up as early
in the
month as
Friday,
February
3rd. This
is therefore
a special
month of
a special
year, when
your idealism
will run
strong
and when
you are
challenged
to avoid
the confusion
that is
naturally
associated
with the
collision
between
the physical
planes
of existence
here on
planet
earth in
contrast
with those
energies
that are
far beyond
the physical
and yet
underlie
it. Since
these energies
are extremely
powerful
for you
at this
time you
are getting
a crash
course
this month
in handling
the paradox.
You are
in an unusual
place in
which you
fully sense
the unbounded
potential
of your
situation
and yet
also the
limitations
that are
entirely
inherent
in the
human condition.
You have
to somehow
make it
all work
in spite
of these
and in
the light
of your
other-worldly
faith in
each and
every possibility
to unfold
for you
in glorious
fashion.
There is
a way that
it is all
true: the
bounded
straight-jacketed
actuality
together
with the
unbounded
sense of
possibility,
and the
secret
lies within
the infinite
expansion
of your
own mind
and heart,
to the
extent
that you
can really
tune in
there.
These contrasts
are even
more pronounced
by the
time of
the Full
Moon of
Tuesday,
February
7th, when
Saturn,
representing
the limitation
side of
the equation,
is also
standing
still in
the sky,
having
turned
to retrograde
motion
on the
very same
day. This
is ideally
a time
of balance
and of
a sense
of service
to the
greater
collective
and to
your own
inner world,
as you
can manage
to hold
as equally
dear to
you both
horns of
the dilemma
of existence.
Significant
persons
in your
life are
important
to you
now as
well, and
you might
get caught
in the
normal
trap of
projecting
your inner
struggle
onto others.
You are
a warrior
for your
cause and
you could
run into
active
disagreements
if you
do not
handle
the energy
by attending
to what
is going
on and
taking
back the
projection.
These matters
reach yet
another
stage of
conflict
and of
potential
resolution
with the
Last Quarter
Moon of
Tuesday,
February
14th, Valentine's
Day. This
is another
powerful
juncture,
traditionally
a time
of mulling
things
over and
seeking
to find
a way to
understand
more fully
what is
coming
down both
in terms
of outer
events
and of
inner realizations,
and this
month made
even more
intense
by the
magnitude
of your
potential
shifts.
You are
preparing
the way
for another
new phase
as your
birthday
time approaches.
The New
Moon of
Tuesday,
February
21st, is
an extremely
potent
one for
you, when
you might
feel yourself
actually
crossing
a kind
of inner
threshold.
The past
is very
much with
you now,
both with
regard
to family
issues
that still
percolate
somewhere
inside
you and
also your
consciousness
of early
wounding
which has
been showing
up in the
borderlands
of your
awareness
for some
time as
well. There
is nothing
you can
do about
the past
except
to continue
to acknowledge
and accept
it, as
you have
been this
month struggling
to accept
current
realities
also, and
to regard
whatever
has happened,
even if
painful
at the
time, as
somehow
meant to
be.
Aires Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagitt Capric Aquar Pisces Overview Top
Overview of the Planets this month: Top
The
Astrology of February features Mars, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus and Neptune.
The red planet is now retrograde in Virgo, and similar to a Mercury
retrograde period, in this present condition of Mars – usually
representing aggressive and ego-oriented urges – there is instead
a tendency for going internal and mulling over our normal actions
and activities rather than just doing them. Saturn, also retrograde
as of February 7th, loosely aspects Mars as it stations. Saturn also
closely aspects Neptune, now in its own sign of Pisces after February
3rd, so that the contrast between life in the physical plane, represented
by Saturn, and life in the multifarious inter-dimensional spaces
beyond the purely physical, represented by Neptune, is very much
upon us, thus adding to the meditative posture symbolized by a more
internalized Mars.
Meanwhile the revolutionary energy of Uranus is also very much with
us as this second month of 2012 gets underway. Uranus, quite as much
as Neptune antithetical to Saturn, therefore takes us quite out of
ourselves and our surface concerns. The recent New Moon from the
last ten days of the previous month in Uranus' own sign of Aquarius
closely aspected both Uranus and Jupiter, whose combination brings
out the rebel in us all, and also brings forward the potential for
surprising events to unfold that change our basic set of perceptions
of the world around us.
February 14th, Valentine's Day, when everyone is out buying chocolates
and flowers, coincides with the Last Quarter Moon and with Venus
square to Pluto, and therefore this year will represent more of a
mixed blessing. We will be searching under the covers of our motivation
with regard to relationships as well as patterns of outward aggression,
and along with the joyful and celebrity sides of sexuality and romance
the various shadow sides – jealousy or factors of power and
control – could easily emerge. This is especially true since
Chiron is also prominent. We might be able to bring to consciousness
certain aspects of our earlier wounding that, just when we least
expect them, continue to crop up in our present day situations.
As the cycle begun in late January with the Aquarius New Moon concludes,
the one beginning with the February 21st New Moon in early Pisces
is powerful as well in that it trips off the same triumvirate of
outer planet energies, namely Neptune/Chiron in Pisces, Uranus in
Aries and Jupiter in Taurus. Brilliant ideas continue to be the norm
rather than the exception, with the extra added benefit of Neptune's
compassion thrown in. Venus is still flirting with both Pluto and
Mars so the relationship dynamic remains a bit dicey, but there will
at least be plenty to think about as we look more closely into events
in the physical plane, seeking to discern the inner soul-level meaning.
All through this month, these cosmic forces are at work on us, helping
us surmount the fences that have been holding us back for far too
long from taking our rightful place at the forefront of our own spiritual
evolution. This month represents a fitting introduction to the strongly
transformational period of time that is shaping up for late spring,
when Uranus and Pluto make their exact pass, the first of seven,
on the square aspect that has been building between them these last
several years. We will be older and definitely wiser on the other
side of this powerful spring and summer.
