Astrology for February 2007 by Susan Heinz, Astrologer
With the Sun in Aquarius, the full moon on February 1st graces the sky in the sign of Leo. We experience the challenge to balance individuality with group consciousness. Saturn, also in Leo, brings confrontation to leadership along with the resistance of authority. Neptune in Aquarius, heightens the ideals and compassion of the people. This Saturn constricts Bush’s popularity. He struggles with his relationships and public role as he is forced to feel the limitations and difficulties that he has created. The new moon, in Aquarius, on the 17th, aligns with the Moon of the USA chart, emphasizing the power of the people. Mercury goes retrograde on the 13th, until March 7th, in emotional Pisces, supporting review of our beliefs and responses to the world situation. On a personal level be aware of boundary issues as communications may be complex with unspoken emotional needs. The Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th, Venus, the planet of relationship, enters fiery Aries on the 19th and Mars enters the idealistic sign of Aquarius on the 25th.
