Lunar & Planetary Transits: February 23 >March 1, 2009

This chart details the Planetary and Lunar transits for 7 days – beginning with the New Moon in Aquarius (the right side of the chart). The Lunar transits reflect the Sun Sign's relationship to the Outer Planets.

Planetary context: This is a week of connections as an accelerating Mercury conjuncts Jupiter at the beginning of the week and then hardworking Mars by the end – all in Aquarius. Although the Recession Effect is still with us, the intensity is passing as judgmental Saturn and free-floating Uranus are moving apart – for now.

Monday February 23 11PM>6PM Late Aquarius see the union of Mars and Neptune. Heal the body; heal the mind. Diligent practice is required for mastery. 6PM>Tues 11AM Aquarius/Pisces cusp – attempt to raise consciousness by focusing on the larger picture - as the fading Moon sparkgaps the Hope Aspect. 11PM Good friends raise the cup as Mercury & Jupiter join hands in Aquarius. Make connections.

Tuesday February 24 11AM>6PM Reach out to the People. Extend a helping hand as the Sun ignites the Plutonian energy. Don't hold back, else stagnation strikes. 6PM>Wed 5PM The New Moon Sun in early Pisces opposes judgmental Saturn. Don't get lost in duty and responsibility. Beware of getting paralyzed by a sense of inadequacy. Judge others - judge yourself - a 2-edged sword - unavoidable. A growing energy. Just keep showing up.

Wednesday February 25 5PM>10PM Mid Pisces in the midst of the Recession Effect. Keep focused on the Primary Clear Light to avoid getting lost in the lower Bardos. The illusions are intense and seemingly real, but without substance. Look inward for balance. Persistance is the key. 5PM An accelerating Mercury harmonizes a slowing Venus. A social exchange to share some intimacy. Follow the path of the bhogi to lighten the mental load. 10PM Late Pisces is radical Uranus' sector. Be ruthless about change. Embrace the unexpected. Destroy the inessential even though it once saved your life. It is only holding you back and will cause you to sink.

Thursday February 26 10PM(Wed)>7PM The Pisces/Aires cusp in the midst of the coming Revolution Effect. Be part of the solution or its victim - as wild Uranus is slowly moving into conflict with the People. Big changes are coming. Don't hold onto the past. Exploit and you will surely be exploited. And remember what seems trivial is important and what seems important is trivial. Seek quietude to differentiate the two.

Friday February 27 10PM(Wed)>7AM Late Pisces/early Aires, prepare to make some life-changing moves by the end of the year as radical Uranus aligns with Society (the Moon's Nodes). A good time to discard emotional investment in what seems to be reality. 9AM>10AM(Sat) As the waxing Moon moves through Aires she channels a confluence of planetary energy (the quintuple conjunction in Aquarius, including both the fading Bonus Effect and the approaching Inspiration Aspect). Get together to solve difficulties. Not a time of going it alone. The battles are too difficult and the challenges too excrutiating to think you can make it by yourself. Enlist the assistance of others to make it through these difficult times. Survival is the key. 4PM Mid Aires is Venus' zone; she's slowing to a stop. Completing her forward progress before returning to finish things up. Turn the mental real by checking out Venus and the Sliver Moon in the western sky just after sunset - an auspicious omen.

Saturday February 28 10AM>4AM(Sunday) Aires/Taurus cusp poised for deep undersatnding. Look inward to find the solution - as the Sun and Moon trigger the Hope Aspect. Work for the New Age by raising your consciousness, which will naturally lift others as well. Begin the long process or it will never happen.

Sunday March 1 1PM>6PM Early Taurus in a mess as he fights the fading Opportunity Aspect. Dissassociate yourself from your destructive story. It's dragging you down. Success and failure only exist in the mind. Focus on the lower Tan T'ien to escape these mental traps. 7PM Make final connections as Mercury and Mars join in late Aquarius. Time to get out. Don't get trapped at home.
