Astrology for February 2003 by Susan Heinz, Astrologer
The old world-view struggles to hold power over the new emerging world-view. It’s vital to remember the larger picture of unfoldment in the Aquarian age, one humanity linked in consciousness, centered in the heart. What unfolds during the next several months is not the whole picture. We hold the vision of what is possible for us, in this way building the bridge to a higher consciousness for the collective. Touching each of our lives, exposing underlying values and belief systems that no longer serve the growing awareness that humanity itself becomes the world savior. This is the energy of Aquarius. Uranus, after 7 years in Aquarius, quickening the growth of networks across the globe, will enter the sign Pisces, in March. The last time it entered Pisces in 1919, the League of Nations was formed. When it moves through the water sign, our depths of feelings are stirred. With the Aquarian networks in place, compassion and feeling with others grows.
The new moon on Feb. 1st opposes Jupiter. Watch taking on too many tasks or dramatic actions, with emotional fervor. (Pres. Bush reaches a dramatic frustration point). The higher expression of this is a balance between individual and group needs.
Saturn stands still before it turns direct. There is a tension as new structures come into place. Around the 11th beware of hastily made decisions not based on wisdom, but impatience. New life structures are coming into place but won’t manifest until May/June. This will lead into a very potent time for the U.S., culminating in the fall with Saturn aspecting USA and President Bush’s Suns, definitely slowing inappropriate agendas, while demonstrations by the people continue. Projects started after the 21st proceed more fluidly.
The full moon on Feb. 16th is extremely dynamic. Tremendous forces gather in opposition. The Sun lines up with radical Uranus leading to unpredictable results. Personally, we will want to hold the tension between the old ways of being and a new growing center of awareness
The sun moves into Pisces on the 18th, entering the watery realms of compassion, dream and ideal. It’s shadow expresses itself through escapism, martyrdom and emotionally charged fanaticism.
Twelve Opportunities:
Aries: February is a time to align with your ideals and group endeavors. Studying, expanding your consciousness, and possible travel (Not after the 1st week). Movement, action and expressiveness are highlighted. Watch your boundaries and projections. New avenues of communication are opening.
Taurus: Career and life direction have been up for you. Reorganizing, restructuring, locating yourself in alignment with a more fluid and spacious sense of self has been taking place. It feels like not knowing, move with the energy, be attentive. Teachers are all around. Be willing to let go.
Gemini: Suddenly doors have opened in your life. Do you see the next room? Live in what is possible, build a vision. Feel it energetically without attaching to the outcome. Hold it as a bridge to the new room. Deeper levels will be exposed in relationship.
Cancer: Watch yourself in relationship. Meet another through deeper levels of intimacy, touching your dreams, feeling love balanced with the need to be your independent strong expressive self. Work and daily situations give you opportunity to teach, study, share thoughts and use your skills.
Leo: This month focuses on relationship and communication with your primary partner. You are more in touch with the spirit of life, the spirit of appreciation. You are offered the opportunity for powerful creativity and expression, like the bursting of a damn. Be gentle with yourself.
Virgo: Alignment of body, emotions and mind is highlighted. This means attend to health and physical needs, clear emotional debris, bring observation to the limits of emotional reactions, watch where your mind dwells and how much energy it claims. Restore yourself.
Libra: Give yourself time to dream and feel the deep love of life spirit. Write and create. Tensions surface around communications at the full moon. Be patient with resolving situations. It leads to healing and self-awareness.
Scorpio: Establishing a new home, centering yourself through contemplative practices, creating firmer foundations, this is your opportunity. Be alert to your sensitivities and boundaries. It can be easy to fall asleep into dreaming your own picture of reality. Around the full moon observe relationship dynamics as two flowers unfolding through their own colors and timing.
Sagittarius: What does it mean to truly listen? You have so much to say yet this is the month to hear others and to listen to the ramblings of your own mind while you listen to others. Feel how it darts away, thinking of so many things. Let your meditation be of deep stillness. The full moon brings up old issues in relationship, so reversals of perspective can take place.
Capricorn: First focus on your inner resources and ideals for yourself, then open to working with others and being supported by others. Clarify so a distillation of talents can be offered. You will feel the beautifying and pleasurable, loving, energy of Venus as it moves through Capricorn. Cherish the love in your life.
Aquarius: Give yourself the time to thoroughly sink into a dream, a sweet pleasure of the beauty of life, or be overwhelmed through dispersing yourself too thinly among projects and people. The new moon is especially powerful for you. Attune to an ideal and take action. Let your heart lead.
Pisces: Retreat, contemplate, attune. Prepare yourself for changes by centering and aligning with breath and energy flows. Uranus will soon enter Pisces, energizing you into new levels of creativity, service and visionary activism.
