Astrologically speaking with Ananur
Mercury is not retrograde this month. Mars and Saturn are retrograde making it a poor time to start a new business. If you are doing some sort of reconstruction, that will work, but pay close attention to details, especially if there are legalities to tend to. Read it over and over again before signing. The month ends well with a fine aspect between Jupiter and Pluto. Anyone who was born with those planets aspecting their Sun will be in fine shape financially. Those people include: those born April 26-29, August 30-September 3, and those born between December 29-January 2 of any year.
February 1 Mercury is favorably aspecting Pluto helping you to see through deceptions that might be coming at you. Venus is opposite Mars which is frustrating if you’re attached to outcomes which have to match your expectations. You may find that you’re giving too much and that you’re not feeling the equality that you hoped for in your relationship. The longing for an ideal mate is still lurking within you, causing you some emotional pain and confusion, especially if you’re married and feeling it.
February 3 Neptune enters Pisces. Neptune had moved into Pisces between “preview.” Now Neptune is in Pisces for a lengthy stay, until January 2026. This very long phase will see us open more to the psychic realm so that it eventually is a daily part of our lives and nothing unusual. Seeing colors and light around each other and knowing what others feel will become commonplace. Keep open to what is happening.
February 4-6 the Sun and Mercury are awkwardly aspecting Uranus which suggests a few days of disruptions and chaos. Be ready to adjust your plans and help others when they are out of balance. We all need each other.
February 7 Venus is in an uncomfortable aspect with Saturn which means that this will be a time of testing in relationships to see whom we can really trust and rely on. Financial concerns may increase. Saturn will be turning retrograde today at 7:03am until June 25, 2012. This is a period when it is not in your best interest to start a new business. Planning: yes. Taking action: NO!
February 7 the Full Moon takes place at 2:54pm with the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius. Be spontaneous and trust your intuition. You don’t need to conform to what society dictates. Most of all trust your intuitive intelligence.
February 7-9 Venus is conjunct Uranus in Aries, screaming out for unique forms of expression. This aspect is always about sexual attractions. In fact Warren Beatty and Kris Kristofferson were born with Venus conjunct Uranus! These planets combined emit a high dosage of charisma.
February 8 Mercury in Aquarius is aspecting Mars in Virgo which finds you having to be very careful with the words you choose. It’s easy to be misunderstood when you say a lot but don’t really give much information. Venus is nicely aspecting Neptune and known to be a romantic time; however, fantasizing about the other may create confusion down the road.
February 8-9 the Sun is aspecting Mars ushering in competition and harsh assaults to another’s ego. Conflicts are likely to escalate.
February 10-11 Venus is nicely aspecting Jupiter making it a perfect time for a party where beauty and extravagance abound. Relax and enjoy.
February 11-13 Mercury and Neptune are conjunct and are both in a favorable aspect to Saturn which takes your ideals to a practical place of manifesting a vision you’ve held dear for quite some time. Now is the time to plan for the future and get the details written in a file.
February 13 Mercury enters into Pisces and remains here until April 16. Dreams would be prophetic and have an eerie quality to them which is hard to interpret, not knowing they are indeed prophetic. If you write down your dreams, they may make more sense to you in a few days.
February 13-15 Venus is harshly aspecting Pluto signaling us that there are relationships left undone which need tending to.
February 14 Happy Valentine’s Day. Mercury is in a positive aspect with Uranus guiding you to say what is truly in your heart. You won’t need to sit and think about it, and it will come through just fine. Be yourself.
February 14-16 Mercury is nicely aspecting Jupiter bringing out the comic in you. Your mind is filled with brilliant ideas to apply in the future when Saturn turns direct on June 25. I’ve noticed that famous comedians have this aspect when they were born.
February 16-18 the Sun is in a positive aspect with Saturn, increasing your ability to be productive because you have more patience. Mercury is nicely aspecting Pluto, which I think of as a time for learning.
February 17-19 the Sun and Neptune are conjunct in Pisces opening you up to discovering and uncovering your psychic awareness. It could be a peak time spiritually for those who are born with the Sun, Moon or Pisces rising.
February 18 the Sun will be moving into Pisces at 11:18pm, remaining here until Spring Equinox March 19 at 10:14pm, which is when the Sun enters Aries. Meanwhile back to the point: the Sun is entering Pisces today! All Pisces people are being honored with Chiron and Neptune in Pisces which will no doubt bring your spiritual qualities to the forefront to be appreciated by family members who in the past may have made fun of you for believing in that which they couldn’t understand. Pisces people are sensitive and know how to love and take care of others; that is if they aren’t totally immersed in themselves and hung up in the land of addiction. The best Pisces healers are those who have experienced suffering themselves, and Pisces do seem to end up taking care of others.
February 21 Venus is awkwardly aspecting Neptune which can turn your world upside down wondering what he or she is thinking? It can become obsessive. The Sun is nicely aspecting Uranus nudging you to bring forth your creativity. Mercury is in a challenging aspect with Saturn. Try not to get pulled down by negative thinking. Don’t watch the news tonight.
February 21 the New Moon will take place at 3:35pm with the Sun, Moon, Neptune and Chiron all conjunct in Pisces and in good relationship to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. This cycle (until March 22) is about developing compassion and finding ways to forgive yourself and others. It sounds simple. But it’s not. Much will unfold in the next 29 days.
February 22 Venus is awkwardly aspecting Mars causing upsets over minor things which seem insurmountable in the moment. It’s fine to let off some steam, you need it.
February 21-23 Mercury is opposite Mars speeding up your mind so that you can’t control what comes out of your mouth or so it seems.
February 23-25 the Sun is in a positive aspect with Jupiter which is usually a good time for finances. Anyone who was born February 22-25, April 25-28, June 26-29, December 26-29 of any year ought to be in good shape right now with their finances. These folks are receiving blessings from Jupiter.
February 25-28 the Sun is favorably aspecting Pluto guiding you to transform your life by kicking out of your life that which no longer works for you whether it’s food, friends or some sort of an addiction. Now is the time to make the change. Don’t wait for it to happen, take charge.
February 29-March 2 Mercury is aspecting Saturn awkwardly convincing you that you are unworthy, and that you should feel sad. Don’t buy into it. Know that these planets bring us in touch with old insecurities which need healing.
February 29-March 4 Venus in Aries is opposite Saturn in Libra stirring up tensions between men and women. Could it be that the abortion issue is again being analyzed by men who have no business making decisions for women. This is a very personal private decision. That’s clear to me. The soul doesn’t enter the body until the first breath is taken.
February 29-March 16 Jupiter is in a fine aspect with Pluto which is all about success and influencing others. Anyone who is in position of prominence politically can make a huge impact because others are listening carefully. It can help us (the public) get clear on what we believe in and what we don’t believe in. Perhaps at this time the 99% of us will again unite and be visibly activated.
