PLANETARY Movements for FEBRUARY 2012
By Richard Giles
The times in this piece are based on Queensland, Australia, times (AEST). For other state adjustments take 2 hours off for WA and half an hour for South Australia. Daylight savings began in October. For other countries - in the UK take off 10 hours, for Japan /Asia take off 1 or 2 hours and for the USA take 12 to 15 hours depending on which US state you are in.
VENUS Opposite MARS Retro: On 2nd February at 23 degrees Pisces/ Virgo. When Venus goddess of love, opposes Mars, god of war and action, then we can be assured that there’s going to be some blow-ups in the relationships around you somewhere, even yours. With Mars retro its also possible to sort these relationships difficulties.
NEPTUNE Into PISCES: From Saturday 4th February at 1.50 am. Neptune is associated with matters spiritual and sensitive as well as psychic. Its going into its own sign for the first time since its 1846 discovery. As a planetary force it asks us all to be much more creative and sensitive to others and the environment around us. Neptune rules over fantasy, hypnosis, meditations, creative art and music, mystical and trance states plus the experience of the cosmos in everyday life. Neptune will spend many many years here, spreading compassion and spiritual significance far and wide through its invisible psychic undercurrents, and wash us over with a nebulous mist of unifying sensitivity. Its there until 2026.
SUN Conjunct MERCURY: On 7th February at 18 degrees Aquarius. The ability to unite your will power with your mental processes is higher now and you can focus strongly on mental goals.
SATURN Turns RETROGRADE: Exact from 8th February at 29 and half degrees Libra. This is the opportunity to get together an organised system within yourself to deal with plans and schemes enabling you to get more from the practical side of life and with wise use of material resources. It lasts until June 2012.
FULL MOON: Exact on Wednesday 8th February at 18 and half degrees Leo at 7.55 am. The Full Moon is the time for international meditations - connect with others around the world for international peace. The Moon in Leo can bring up issues about the creative side of your life, your children and how you treat them and your need for romances.
VENUS Into ARIES: From 8th February at 4 pm. Art and beauty have an uplifting effect on you now. You can work on your emotional connections with those close to you and be active about commitment from you. Make use of those Fire energies to build new creative skills.
VENUS Conjunct URANUS: Also on 10th February at 2 degrees Aries. The planet of creative love and the planet of surprises meld with each other. Its a day to unusual art that grabs your attention, or to you fall suddenly in love with the beautiful person next to you at the local cafe (in your eyes). You can be fixing up your money values.
SUN Inconjunct MARS Retro: On 10th February at 21 degrees Aquarius/ Virgo. The action power of Mars and the Sun together means this is a day to watch out for sudden accidents or inappropriate actions. Try to play an active sport today or run, jump and get active and watch your anger levels.
MERCURY Into PISCES: From 14th February at at 11.30 am. As the planet communicator slides into the sign of higher truths and also of confusion, make sure you have your ideals very straight and you can say what you want and be clear. Inspiration is important .
MERCURY Conjunct NEPTUNE: Also on 14th February at zero degrees Pisces. With Mercury and Neptune, planet of the ethereal, together it could feel like a strange day indeed. Words can be deceptive, the media can be confused and perceptions may be array. Keep yourself very grounded over these few days.
VENUS Square PLUTO: On 16th February at 9 degrees Aries/ Capricorn. This is a period of intense moments of passion and a creative rush when you could make some big mistakes. The ruler of money and values is Venus so watch your investments and bank accounts. Love and commitment are the difficult issues.
MERCURY Conjunct CHIRON: On 17th February at 5 degrees Pisces. Communicating about how to heal the world and yourself comes through today. Look at your ideals and re-examine them, and then move onwards.
SUN Into PISCES: From Sunday 19th February at 4.17 pm. The Sun moves out of the innovative Aquarius into boundariless Pisces and greatly opens up your sympathetic and compassionate side. Focus on helping others and on putting your ideals into practical form.
SUN Conjunct NEPTUNE: On 20th February at zero degrees Pisces. The Neptune cosmic energy is available now as it lines up directly with the Sun. It can be a confusing day with many fuzzy edges.
NEW MOON: Exact on Wednesday 22nd February at 3 degrees Pisces. The New Moon is a good occasion for new beginnings in things. In Pisces it raises the focus on compassion and sympathy for others’ plights. Make sure your attention is onto these issues.
MERCURY Opposite MARS Retro: On 23rd February at 17 degrees Pisces/ Virgo. Challenges to the way you think are about now. Keep your mind and metal skills active by doing lots of challenging thinking. You’ll learn a lot about yourself and remember to keep your patience.
SUN Conjunct CHIRON: On 24th February at 5 degrees Pisces. Chiron’s healing energy is available now while it lines up directly with the Sun. It comes through in various solar events so take advantage of it.
PLANETARY HINTS for the New MONTH: Mars is spending the entire month retrograde and will not contribute to the normal active speed at which things are done. You can get hints of this as Mars activates all the inner planets over February one by one. Saturn also turns retrograde on the 8th February and makes it another planet’s energy that has to be dealt with on the inner level - Saturn is about your duties, responsibilities and your long term goals. And Neptune goes into Pisces from the 4th February and being associated with matters spiritual and sensitive as well as psychic we move towards that way from now on. The 14th February is St Valentines day and it has the Neptunian feel to it with Mercury (communications) into Pisces, so expect that the subtle gifts for your love will work best, Nothing too ostentatious. The New Moon on the 22nd is right on the Chiron and Neptune combination in early so some healing is in the air for the next 28 days. And don’t forget, this is a Leap Year so make a leap into something good..
