Astrological Forecast for February 2021

February brings a turning point for controlling the virus and stimulating the economy.

The signs highlighted this month are Aquarius, Taurus, Pisces and Virgo.

February starts off with Venus entering Aquarius. This gives those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Aquarius extra energy to work with others to find commonality. If you are single you could fall in love or if you are already in a relationship it could deepen.

With Mercury in retrograde motion in Aquarius, being independent at this time could also dominate those born with Aquarius energies.

This Venus energy runs till February 25^th when Venus will enter Pisces.

The new Moon packs a powerful punch for the sign of Aquarius with 6 planets in Aquarius including the Mercury retrograde that started on January 30^th at 26 degrees and will station direct on February 20^th at 11 degrees all in the sign of Aquarius.

The sign of Aquarius is going through some deep thinking till the 20^th. Questions center around friendships and individual empowerment. Who are really my friends? Do I need to spend more time alone for now? How can I help others who are struggling? What do I want to accomplish in 2021?

New Moon’s represent new beginnings. This new Moon chart has no T-squares, but it has all 5 out of the 6 planets in Aquarius square to Mars in Taurus and 3 out of the 6 square to Uranus in Taurus.

Aquarius represents working in organizations to help humanity and Taurus represents gains through the financial markets. Both issues are starting to move with lightening speed starting on February 11^th till the full Moon in Virgo on February 27^th.

The feeling from this chart is if we cannot get the vaccine distribution organized by the 27^th, things could drag on for both covid-19 and the economy. However, Mars is the planet that gets things moving. From February 11^th to the 27^th, the distribution of the vaccine and financial stimulus will be aggressive and effective.

Wall Street and its relationship to new ideas about how to do business also reflects this combination of Aquarius square to Taurus. Will Bitcoin and cryptocurrency get lots of attentions during this new Moon cycle? Yes. Questions about how we do business can be answered through new innovative technological approaches, all Aquarius and Taurus energy, that offers more independent freedom’s (Aquarius).

This combination also effects international financial markets and people around the world wanting more freedom from government suppression. Russia, China and North Korea could see tensions mount and protesting break out. The leaders of these countries and other countries who try to hide, or control others could experience violent protesting from their people.

Those born under the signs of Aquarius and Taurus are taking a serious look at their financial life and making needed adjustments by the 1^st of March.

Happy Valentine’s Day February 14^th. Happy Ash Wednesday on February 17^th.

The Sun enters the sensitive waters of Pisces on February 18^th at (5:44AM EST). Happy Birthday to those born under the sign of Pisces.

Mercury stations direct at 11 degrees of Aquarius on February 20^th (7:52PM) and will not leave its shadow till March 13^th. Those born under the sign of Aquarius or having planets active in this air sign will start to move forward slowly from February 20^th till March 13^th with new plans based on the inner research of themselves during the Mercury retrograde period.

Venus enters Pisces on February 25^th and now we have the Sun and Venus both in Pisces. It’s time to fall in love or deepen that romantic bond between two fishes and another compatible energy.

Venus is exalted in Pisces making Venus more romantic and able to attract abundance. Money issues can be solved for the sign of Pisces and Virgo. Pisces and Virgo are opposite signs creating the practical energy to organize one’s life, so abundance flows more effortlessly.

Venus will remain in Pisces till March 21^st. A day after the Spring Equinox. That’s right, we start daylight savings on March 14^th and the first day of Spring is on the 20^th of March.

The full Moon is in Virgo on February 27^th offering some practical energy to the dreamy and often impractical rose-colored glasses of Pisces. Virgo is the opposite sign of Pisces and on this full Moon day (3:17AM EST), Virgo starts a new life filled with less stress as a grand trine forms between 3 Earth signs.

Virgo is affiliated with healthcare and healers. Could this be the turning point for the virus? Remember, we have a massive amount of energy flowing from the new Moon on February 11^th till the 27^th. The 27th could be the time the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths declines. Full Moon’s represent completions.

It may not seem that way as we start February and get Mars squaring so many planets in Aquarius by the 11^th, but Mars will force our federal government to get as organized as they can. This has its moments with Mercury retrograde in the middle of all 6 planets in Aquarius on February 11^th.

The new Moon in Aquarius with all its tensions comes to a completion by the full Moon in Virgo on the 27^th which has a grand trine pointing to the rising sign of Capricorn trine to Uranus in Taurus. Particularly good combination for healing.

Pisces energy currently offers a deep compassion for everyone along with organized communities (Aquarius) to allow the distribution of the vaccine and economic relief.

What a wonderful way to end February. With hope and promise that things will get better. But we need to give our federal government attention to put it all together. The impeachment trial is the last thing Americans want to hear about every day.

They want to hear that help is being delivered in an organized way. If the impeachment trial gets too much attentions, it could create disappointments for the Biden administration as most of the blame for any disorganization regarding the virus pandemic and the economy will no longer be put on former President Trump. It’s not his administration anymore.

Focus on the virus and the economy has been delayed enough over the last 6 months. It’s time to act as Mars and Uranus make strong connections to 6 planets in Aquarius on February 11^th. Action at the speed of lightening (Uranus) must happen between February 11^th and the 27^th to stop this virus from affecting and killing more Americans.

Many blessings to everyone in America and around the world.
