February begins with Venus about to leave Pisces opposing Mars retrograde in Virgo. Whatever is going well is sure to get better and the stuff of life that is bugging us is sure to grow from a molehill to a mountain. We will be acutely aware of the situations in our lives that are not right and relationships with the opposite sex can range from intense attraction to out and out irritation. Stuff that would normally seem routine has great significance but that connotation is not necessarily valid.
Neptune, having moved into Aquarius November 1998, is at last changing signs and moving into Pisces until March 2025. I stated last April, when first Neptune dipped into Pisces for four months, that Neptune is a consciousness-shifting planet. His presence in Pisces will change how we do what we already do. The gadgets and entertainment we already enjoy will take on new depth and innovation. Art will evolve just as invention of the camera changed how we expressed ourselves artistically in the 1800s. The way we work will change just as the workers movement did the last time Neptune transited his home sign. Even the way we govern ourselves is sure to evolve, so that all of us are offered the same opportunities to be educated and thrive. Some call for this to be an age of social advancement. Meanwhile, those who are born in the early days of any sign may just feel foggy or confused. The next thirteen years should be a very interesting as our values change along with our spiritual connections to one another. Day to day Neptune’s influence may not be so obvious, but in thirteen years we will look back and be amazed.
Saturn Retrograde February 7 – June 25
Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, backs up to twenty-two degrees Libra in the days until June 25. Many of us will be addressing progress and stuff we have been working on since last November. Libra, especially those born October 12 -21, will notice that the heavy schedule and responsibilities they have recently experienced will not let up just yet. Capricorns and Cancers born January 12-21 and July 13-21 respectively are compelled to act on what needs to be changed. Aries born March 12-21 are at a decisive time that they will remember for a long time.
Venus moves into Aries February 8 – March 5
Venus is love and beauty while Aries is all about Aries. Venus rules Libra and Aries is Libra’s opposite sign. This means that Venus is not so good in Aries and she will be more direct than usual when it comes to getting what she wants. Many of us will become pushy about our needs and sometimes it will not be such a good thing to get what we want. Passion and fun will be abundant. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius will have the bravado to get what they want but their behavior may not be so pretty.
Right after entering Aries, Venus crosses Uranus on the 9th though we feel this influence for a few days before and after. While under this influence we will be meeting new, different, and attractive people but they are just passing through on their way to some other karmic situation. No use trying to connect. Do recognize that unexpected events will occur. In the long run they are synchronistic and are for the best even though upsetting when they actually happen.
As Venus moves through Aries she comes to square Pluto in Capricorn (exact February 15). Many of us especially Aries, Capricorn, Cancer, and Libra feel the pressure to make changes in our behavior and the ways in which we relate to others. Most likely a situation will come to light that is unpleasant.

The full Moon occurs February 8 at 3:54 pm CST at 18 degrees Leo. Lions are sure to roar with ecstasy or irritation. Leo is a sign that needs to express emotions and opinions. Since this full Moon is conjunct Mercury, news and communiqués are sure to be loud and clear. The full Moon is a culmination of emotions so this can be an emotional time for many of us, but especially those of us born around the 9th of any month. With the Sun in Aquarius we will be compelled to balance our emotional needs with the needs of the entire group.
The new Moon happens February 21 at 2 degrees Pisces at 4:35 pm CST. This new Moon calls for us to delve within ourselves. This new Moon is trine Saturn, conjunct Neptune, and sextile Jupiter. Saturn calls for us to find inner strength and Neptune brings up our sense to of compassion. The sextile to Jupiter can bring the need for a group interaction that is nurturing to us. While the Moon is growing to full on March 8 we do well to connect with wise people who can help us with our personal growth. Consider volunteering or helping someone in need if you are unhappy with your circumstances.

Mars Retrograde In Virgo Until April 13/14
Mars, now in Virgo, goes retrograde January 23 – April 14. Mars is the planet that goes out and gets stuff done.
Mercury In Pisces February 13- March 12
Mercury is not so good in Pisces for the simple reason that Mercury is very intellectual and Pisces is very touchy feely. While Mercury is moving through Pisces our logic may run out the door. Many of us will act without logic. Markets are sure to sway during these days because so many of us are making decisions based on emotions and not fact.
Just before Mercury moves into Pisces he forms a trine to Saturn in Libra. This may be the last time some of us feel steady and sober in our thoughts until Mercury leaves Pisces March 2. Time spent in contemplation or studying serious matters is time well spent. Older friends are a comfort now.
February 14 is Valentine’s days and Mercury is conjunct Neptune in Pisces. What a day for a daydream. Love and kisses and flowers along with thoughts of poetry rule our lives. This is not the time to make any decision as most of us have our heads in the clouds. While Mercury is sextile Jupiter (exact on the 16th) we are coming to understand our lives and our roles with greater clarity. Some of us will just want to fly away for a romantic trip to top off Valentine’s Day.
Mercury sextile Pluto February 18 has us coming to new conclusions as a result of our extra sensory perceptions. Trust those instincts as this is one of those times when those “woo woos” are correct. At the same time the Sun in Aquarius is trine Saturn in Libra. This serious aspect along with a more experienced person has us coming down from the clouds a bit so that we are able to sort though the fog and know we are correct.
Mercury still in Pisces on the 23rd is opposite Mars retrograde in Virgo. This combative aspect is sure to have us at odds with someone in or lives. The battle between idealism and logic are very real in the days around this aspect. Frustrations can lead to accidents so pay attention when driving.

The Sun In Pisces
Mercury is already there so our attention turns even more towards the spiritual side of life. The Sun crossing Neptune on the 19th has us considering compassionate causes. Many of us will want to make a difference in the world at large. Others of us and especially those of us born at the beginning of any sign will be confused or even tired. Get some rest and don’t get lost in confusion.
February 25 the Sun sextiles Jupiter and then Pluto on the 28th. These aspects have us feeling good about the changes we are making now whether those changes are self imposed or are happening as a natural course of our lives.

NEPTUNE ENTERS FANTASYLAND by Grace K. Morris, M.A.
As the planet Neptune enters its own sign of Pisces on Feb. 4 for a 14-year stay (2012-2024), we will begin to see the unraveling of rational ideas and a reliance on one’s intuition. Not all bad as it begins the journey but Neptune usually ends its 14-year stay in each sign by going to extremes. In 1956-1970 Neptune (films) in Scorpio (sex) began with Disney films and ended with pornography. In 1970-1984 Neptune (spirituality) in Sagittarius (religious philosophies) began with an interest in angels and a religious revival but ended with the religious cult massacre at Jonestown, Guyana.
