Valentine's Day Feb 14, 2013

Valentine's Day occurs on February 14 every year. The Sun is always in Aquarius on Valentine's Day, encouraging us to connect with friends and socialize. The Moon is in Aries on this day, not the most compassionate of moon placements. Be aware of emotional outbursts. With four planets in Pisces, including Mars, and Mercury, it may be hard to get up and get going. Thanks to all this Pisces energy, our words are calm and soothing today, and it will be easy to say 'I love you' at the end of the day.

Mercury Retrograde February 23, 2013

On February 23, Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, until March 17. We may feel a strong desire at this time to connect to something greater than ourselves, and dissolve boundaries that no longer serve us in a positive way. This can be a challenging time for travel, technology and communication. This is a good time to do inner work, journal and finish up projects previously started.

Saturn goes retrograde February 18 until July 7. With Saturn in Scorpio, healing our unconscious behaviour continues to be the focus. This is the time to review our progress since early October, and change what still needs to be addressed.

Full Moon February 25 2013

This month's full moon is in Virgo on February 25, 2013 at 3:26 pm EST. The Sun is in Pisces and the Moon is in Virgo.

Full moons bring to the light that which has been in the dark. In Virgo, we can look at what needs to be changed in the area of diet, exercise and health. With five planets in Pisces now, the urge to surrender and go with the flow is strong. This is when the magic happens !!!

New Moon Feb 9 2013

The new moon this month occurs in Aquarius on February 9, 2013 at 8:21 pm EST. Both the Sun and the Moon are in Aquarius, an air sign that relates to the collective consciousness, progress, new inventions and the world at large. Aquarius signifies our search for individuality and independence. It is where we collaborate with others, co-operate and create anew. This new moon helps to free us from our attachments to money and material goods, and realize that the only thing of real value is love. With the North Node in Scorpio, it is time to stop denying our shadow, own our power in a positive, healthy way, and stop projecting our issues onto others.
