AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19)  February has a lot going on for you, so heads up! The month begins with the Aquarius Sun inching closer and close to an angle to Uranus, which is moving across the earth axis this month (yes, again!).  This angle is exact on the February 5^th full moon in Leo, intensifying your edginess. If your birthday is between the 4^th and 7^th, you are especially wigged out right now, and even accident prone.  And of course because of Uranus on the earth axis, there is lot of global drama as well… But there is a very pretty Venus-Mars angle that falls on the full moon, an aspect that is lovely for shared effort and collaboration.  In addition, Saturn and Jupiter spend the first three weeks of this month in an angle that supports long-range planning and financial decisions, especially if your birthday is from the 8^th to the 11^th.   By the 9^th Mercury makes a quick pass over Pluto so do some deeply challenging mental work. Mercury enters your own sign on the 11^th, and on the 13^th Venus catches up to Neptune for a few days of delicious emotional and creative expression, you mushball, you. On the 14^th the Aquarius Sun reaches Saturn in Aquarius, and pulls in Jupiter’s influence as well.  There are likely to be some larger financial dynamics that inform your decisions, but it continues to be a great time to get all your ducks in a row, especially around real estate and finances.   If your birthday is around the 15^th-17^th you should enjoy the wisdom and groundedness it brings to you all year long. The Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th, just before a juicy new moon on the 20^th.  The new moon makes an angle to Neptune, making it extra inspiring and visionary.  Right after the new moon Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus, so pay attention to even your wildest ideas—but back up your hard drive.  The month ends with Venus lining up with Saturn and Jupiter and you just might commit to some of these plans you’ve been cooking up and sign on the dotted line.

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  Okay… February is an interesting month for you as you get ready for Saturn’s entry into Pisces in March.  But I get ahead of myself.  Uranus is crossing the earth axis all month, intensifying the chaos and uncertainty (sorry!). The craziness factor is high the first week of February as the Aquarius Sun cozies up to its angle to Uranus which is exact on the February 5^th Leo full moon.  Uh oh!  Shields up!  On the positive side, Venus and Mars make a nice angle at the same time, facilitating collaboration and joint action.  Enjoy that.  Keep in mind that for most of the month Jupiter and Saturn move in tandem, giving you inspiration to plan and think long-term, especially about real estate and finances.   By the 13^th Venus in your sign of Pisces crosses paths with Neptune, inspiring romance and creative expression.  Meanwhile the Aquarius Sun catches up to Saturn in Aquarius and its angle to Jupiter for a few days starting on the 14^th. This really puts the focus on any real-world financial and real estate decisions, and will help you not be misled by any Neptunian confusion!  The Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th, right before a pretty new moon in Pisces on the 20^th.  This juicy new moon also pulls in the influence of Neptune, so definitely summon up some creative and inspirational energy!  Right after the new moon Mercury and Venus line up with Uranus, bringing new ideas and lots of conviviality.  The month ends with Venus catching up to the Jupiter Saturn angle, and you’re ready for closure on some practical decisions and plans.

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)   February reminds you that we are not out of the woods yet, since Uranus sits on the earth axis all month, bringing all kinds of chaos and upsets.  The Uranus effect is especially strong during the first week of February and is exact on the February 5^th Leo Full moon.  Full moons just intensify whatever is going on, so you will have to take steps to calm down your reactive Aries self.  There is some good news, though:  Venus and Mars are in a pretty angle around the full moon, which is wonderful for collaboration and joint effort.   And—Jupiter in your sign Aries is lined up with Saturn in Aquarius for most of the month putting the focus on financial planning and long-range thinking.  By the 13^th Venus in Pisces crosses paths with Neptune—inspiring and romantic, for sure, but don’t let those Neptunian rose-colored glasses lead you to make an ill-informed decision.  The Aquarius Sun catches up to Saturn and Jupiter at the same time, so stay grounded in your practical planning.  Then the Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th, followed by a juicy Pisces new moon on the 20^th with Neptunian influences all over it. Use this lunation to generate inspiration and vision.  Mercury in Aquarius makes an angle to Uranus right after the new moon, and you are full of radical ideas.   Then month ends with Venus in Aries sneaking up to Saturn and Jupiter, and you just might clinch a deal.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  February is a mixed bag, but nothing your sturdy Taurus self can’t handle.  Keep in mind that Uranus in Taurus once again spends the month on top of the earth axis.  So the chaos and disruption factor is very high, especially the first week of February, when the Aquarius Sun approaches its angle to Uranus.  The angle is exact on the Leo full moon on the 5^th.  My advice to you is to stay home! Bad weather, unexpected events, global turmoil, etc, and because the action is in fixed signs your Taurus self is feeling it, especially if your birthday is around May 3-6.  However—Mars and Venus are in a pretty angle on the full moon, so collaboration and shared efforts will go well.  The other good news is that Jupiter and Saturn make a nice angle most of the month to facilitate planning and long-term thinking.  By the 13^th Venus in Pisces catches up to Neptune for a few days of creative inspiration. The Aquarius Sun lines up with Saturn and Jupiter by the 14^th , really putting the focus on some real-world decision-making.  Make sure you stay grounded and clear and don’t let Neptune confuse your understanding of what’s happening. Then the Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th, followed by a delicious Pisces new moon on the 20^th. Neptune is all over this new moon so really use it for inspiration, visioning and creative expression.  Mercury squares Uranus right after the new moon and pay attention to even your craziest ideas. The month ends with Venus catching up to Jupiter and Saturn, and it’s time to commit to some of those plans you’ve generated this month.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)  Well, February continues to shake you up just a bit, but there are plenty of bright spots too. Keep in mind that Uranus crawls across the earth axis this month (yes, again, still) so the chaos factor is high, especially the first week of the month when the Aquarius Sun squares Uranus on the February 5^th Leo full moon.  You’ll be agitated and edgy in the build up to the full moon. Try to find some equanimity amidst all the craziness. The good news is that Venus and Mars are also in an angle, supporting shared effort and joint action.  The other nice combination is that for most of the month, Saturn and Jupiter are in an angle, a great aspect for long-term thinking and planning especially about resources and real estate.  By the 13^th Venus in Pisces catches up to Neptune, bringing a lot of feelings to the surface.  Work them out through your creative process.  On the 14^th the Aquarius Sun reaches Saturn and its angle to Jupiter for a few days.  This will really put the focus on real-world decisions. Trust your wisdom!  Then the Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th  followed by a delicious new moon in Pisces on the 20^th. Use this lunation to generate creativity and inspiration, especially if your birthday is at the very start of Gemini.  Right after the new moon Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus, and your head is exploding with ideas.  The month ends with Venus in Aries catching up to Jupiter and joining in with Saturn.  You will want to bring closure to something or finalize a decision.

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)   Well, shields up! this month, since Uranus moves across the earth axis (yes, again), triggering all kinds of crazy on the world stage.  You will need to protect your sensitive Cancerian self, especially during the first week of the month when the Aquarius Sun approaches its square to Uranus in the run-up to the February 5^th  Leo full moon. Yikes!  You ‘ll be a mess.  Stay home. However, Mars and Venus are in a nice angle to each other on the full moon, so even if you’re holed up at home, you will be able to happily do some joint projects with others.  And, Jupiter and Saturn line up together most of the month, facilitating long-range planning and overall good sense. By the 13^th Venus catches up to Neptune for a few days of creative inspiration. Meanwhile the Aquarius Sun reaches Saturn and its angle to Jupiter, and the Venus-Neptune influence could lead to some stress. You’ll want to make decisions because of the Sun-Saturn Jupiter line-up but Neptune might confuse things.  Move slowly.  The Sun enters Pisces on the 18^th, followed by a delicious Pisces new moon on the 20^th.  Now we’re talking! You’re inspired and in sync with the ocean of life.   By the time Venus catches up to Jupiter and Saturn at the end of the month, your decisions will be clearer and you’ll know what to do.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  Keep that seat belt on for February, I’m afraid!  Uranus in Taurus sits on the earth axis all month, continuing the chaos and unexpected events.  This influence is especially intense during the first week of February when the Aquarius Sun gets closer and closer to its angle to Uranus, just in time for the Leo Full moon on the 5^th.  Yup, full moon in Leo.  So you will be revved up and edgy and it will feel like you’re in the multiverse.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  Well, this is an interesting month (I know, you hate when I say that!).  Uranus sits on the earth axis all month, so there is still a great deal of global tension and craziness that you have to weather.  It is most intense in the first week of February when the Aquarius Sun approaches its angle to Uranus, and which is exact on the February 5^th Leo full moon.  Yow!  Full moons just intensify everything.  The Aquarians, Leo, Tauruses and Scorpios in your life will be off the hook, and everyone else will feel tense and edgy.  The good news is that the full moon also brings a few days of a nice Venus-Mars angle that is wonderful for shared effort and collaboration.  Meanwhile Saturn and Jupiter spend most of the month in a fruitful angle that favors planning and grounded decision-making.  Enjoy that!  By the 13^th Venus in Pisces catches up to Neptune, bringing inspiration and a sense of connection to all things.
