Astrological Forecast for February 2023

February produces Groundhog Day for those wanting to know if it’s going to be a long winter season or early spring, and Valentine’s Day for romantic moments.

ALL PLANETS ARE IN DIRECT MOTION including Chiron till April 21^st, the next time Mercury will station retrograde.

This helps all signs to move forward with all of the homework plans they have made over the last few months since Mars stationed retrograde at the end of October 2022.

Mars moving forward will help the sign of Gemini most to communicate how they really feel and connect once again to a social life that feels normal. The opposite sign of Sagittarius is also feeling the same way.

Mars will not be out of its retrograde shadow till March 15, 2023, then the mutable signs of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces will feel like their life is back on track and moving forward in all areas of life.

Groundhog Day is February 2^nd.

We have a full Moon in Leo at 16 degrees on February 5^th (1:29PM EST). If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Leo, you are ready to show the world your many talents and will receive recognition from others.

However, there will be some stress in your well defined plans as both the Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius, square into Uranus in Taurus. Uranus tends to create unexpected changes and the fixed signs just mentioned don’t do well with change. They are the most stubborn signs in the Zodiac.

To get clear insights into the issues these fixed signs will be going through, anyone born under the sign of Scorpio can be of help since Scorpio is filling in the missing leg of the T-Square.

This combination has you going over your financial balance sheet but with the North Node conjunct Uranus in Taurus, the fixed signs can create financial growth from a new creative (Uranus) idea that is unique and needed by the public (Moon).

Pluto’s only aspect in this full Moon chart is in conjunction to Mercury. Since Pluto is still in Capricorn till March 24^th, the internal conversation that Capricorn is having with themselves is intense. Nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide.

When a planet is not aspecting any other planets in the chart other than a conjunction, it is very self-absorbed so those with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Capricorn need to be carful they don’t forget about their connections to others and isolate themselves or feel that their opinions are the only true thoughts in conversations.

Capricorn is better off remaining silent and staying away from as many people as they possibly can till the new Moon on February 20^th.

This also shows governments around the world trying to exercise their power too much over people. This may be the full Moon that creates aggressive actions on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine. Leo rules leadership.

It also spells disaster for Putin as his rising sign of Scorpio is conjunct the South Node and filling in the missing leg of the T-Square. Pluto represents isolation for political leaders at this time and he may be isolated from the public or in serious danger from the karma (South Node) of past actions.

February 14^th is Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone.

The Sun moves into the dreamy and mystical sign of Pisces on February 18^th. Happy Birthday to Pisces.

The New Moon in Pisces at 1 degree on February 20^th (2:06AM EST), shows those born with Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Pisces caught up in a dream fog. Why is this?

Sun, Moon, Saturn and Neptune are all in the third house of communication, writing, relationships with siblings, neighbors and short distance traveling. All of these planets are in Pisces except Saturn which is finishing up its stay in Aquarius and getting ready to move into Pisces on March 7^th.

So, Pisces will need to keep their feet on the ground from February 20^th till March 7^th. They need to be clear on a strategic plan (Saturn) to allow them to complete creative goals. Maybe they want to write songs, act in a play, take photographs, fall in love or find time to align their mind, body and spirit via spiritual practices.

It’s a great time to start a new beginning in their life, new Moon, and put all of their ducks in order so by the time March 7^th comes around, they are ready to get down to serious business about what they started on this new Moon.

The new Moon chart has no T-squares so the stress levels are not enough to get the fish motivated. Squares do help people be more motivated. With this new Moon it allows water signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, just enough energy to get through the day.

This is a great time for all zodiac signs to visualize what they want, especially Pisces to manifest greater abundance, perfect health and love. Spiritual fertility is high even thou those with Pisces energy or water signs are feeling a time out in the excitement of life.

The new Moon is a great time to start manifesting what you want as Venus moves into the physical dynamic sign of Aries on this new Moon day only 50 minutes later from the start of this new Moon.

If you have the Sun, Moon, rising or planets in Aries, you have Venus on your side till March 17^th. Attracting a new relationship, new job, more abundance, and more balance in your life is possible for Aries.
