A February of Brilliant Ideas and Otherworldly Agendas

februaryHenry Seltzer – The astrology of February features Venus,  Mars,  Saturn,  Uranus,  Neptune,  Pluto,  and Eris. All the outer planets are triggered this month, including Eris, which has been revealed as a spiritual warrior energy for acting from the standpoint of deep commitment to inner soul-level values, so important for these times of radical change. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, the classical outer planets signifying massive societal evolution, are all configured quite strongly in the New Moon events that initiate the first and the final two weeks of February.

In the January 16th Capricorn New Moon from last month we find a wide conjunction between the New Moon and Pluto, with Jupiter in close sextile, within minutes of a degree, while simultaneously the Sun and Moon closely square Uranus and semi-square Neptune. In the Solar Eclipse New Moon of February 15th we again find Uranus emphasized, while  Pluto is now within two degrees of his significant forming square with Eris, which stays close through 2020, and beyond.

Redefining Self Responsibility

The Morning Blessing | Feb 20 2012

“It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.” – Soren Kierkegaard

The weeks of February have provided many ups and downs as our world has been set into its 2012 motion of rhythmic transformation. If you do nothing else this year – you will come away with the understanding that change is constant, as change stimulates consciousness to grow into new areas of activity. Large cosmic cycles have been setting the stage for a new evolutionary cycle of unprecedented changes that will transform the world’s understanding of reality. New perspectives and ideas about the larger vistas of existence are influencing you beyond what your modern mind can comprehend even as you read these words.

While working and living within your personal layers of reality remain mindful that your work is to lay the foundation of the Identity/Self you chose to manifest this year. We are in a year of expanding “all” (all possibility, truth, and realities, good and bad) that is open to us. That means there is a heavy duty mixture of golden opportunities and major challenges. It is paramount that you keep your heart and minds pointed towards desired outcomes and not get tricked by the traditional glimpses of limitation and drama.

As daylight quietly grows over the course of the winter weeks you will naturally be inclined towards respite, perhaps reflecting on the whys and whatfores of your life. The time gives you the opportunity to revisit and remake your core values, and to strengthen and tweak them in the areas that may be weak. You will be hearing and feeling the highest highs within yourSelf and also the lowest lows. The necessity of healing into wholeness in this realm means that extremes of separation are present everywhere – internally as well as externally.
