Presently the most exciting astrological event occurs on February 13, as Jupiter moves onto the Dragon’s Head. This is the Opportunity Aspect. Answer the Door when someone knocks. This is balanced by the difficult Saturn/Uranus opposition [the Recession Effect], [exact on February 5] – only the second of 5 occurrences. Batten down the hatches for some trying times, as the Radical and Conservative must cooperate, internally and externally, if we are to survive.
The Son triggered the Opportunity aspect from January 23>28. Hope you were in a position to take advantage (not everyone was). Now the Sun moves into spiritual Neptune’s zone in late Aquarius (exact on February 12). Deep insights into life’s patterns. Pay attention. February 12>21 the Sun channels the Aspect of Hope. Work towards a New Age of egalitarian cooperation.
The male and female forces [Venus & Mars] have been moving in harmony. Venus leads the rest of the Inner Planets into Aires [Feb. 2] as Mars enters Aquarius [Feb. 4], initiating the weeks of the Air and Fire Signs – much more exciting than those murky and stagnant Water and Earth Signs. February 15>17 Venus & Mars catalyze the Opportunity Aspect. While seemingly everlasting this is it. Hope things are in place so that you can grab the rope that will enable you to rise above the mess.
Presently retrograde Mercury is slowing down before coming to a complete stop [relative to the Earth] on Saturday January 31. Take time to reflect on moves & connections that must be made, if you are to make it through unscathed. After moving into Aquarius [Feb. 14] Mercury also triggers the Opportunity Aspect [Feb. 20>23]. Don’t delay. Circumstances change. Mid>late February is time to cross the Great River.
The Earth began a New Moon cycle in Aquarius last Sunday January 25. Our Lunar Mother is in Spiritual Neptune’s Aquarian zone on Tuesday [January 27]. Then she moves into Radical Uranus’ Piscean zone in Thursday [Jan. 29] - stimulating the Recession Effect. She finishes this cycle of conjunctions in union with Aesthetic Venus early Friday morning. Check out the Moon and Venus in the evening sky. Should be gorgeous. For hourly details this week check out the Lunar chart [January 26>February 1]
