Lunations and Long-Term Aspects

This month's New Moon occurs on February 13 in Aquarius, your 8th House of transformations, sex, debt and shared resources. As always, a New Moon typically brings something new into your life. If your birthday is within a day or so of June 24 - 28 or July 18 this will have a stronger impact and will show up as the need for an adjustment or change of course in this part of your life. This lunation includes some interesting aspects including two overlapping Yods, an aspect also known as a Finger of God. One of them is pointing at something that needs to be resolved regarding your beliefs and expectations with respect to an old relationship. This does not necessary entail a confrontation but could simply be an attitude adjustment on your part where you understand something you missed before. Perhaps you were too hard on someone because your expectations were unrealistic or something along those lines. Give it some thought and see what you can let go of that may be holding you back or weighing you down emotionally. Being ruled by the Moon, Cancers tend to be emotional anyway, so don't make it any more difficult than necessary.

The second Yod also seems to involve your beliefs and expectations though it could also relate to some other 9th House matter such as returning to school, relocating, a long trip, or even a legal matter such as a contract. Factors in this include an opportunity to resolve a financial issue that relates to your home environment in some manner. If you've been considering a large purchase, this could be an indicator. Note, however, that there are some retrograde planets involved which often indicate delays, implying this won't be solved immediately. News of a transformational nature or regarding one of those 8th House issues noted earlier is also going to have an effect on your home responsibilities in some manner. Healing energy is included in this New Moon as well, further helping resolve any old issues. That Saturn - Pluto square is still out there and will be for a while which is going to be stirring things up generally with regard to your home responsibilities and close relationships.

The Full Moon on February 28 is in Virgo, your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, neighbors, siblings and short journeys, and is likely to hail an ending or phase shift in this part of your life. It's in favorable aspect generally to Cancer and is most likely to affect those born within a few days of July 1. This situation or event will stir up various thoughts that will splash into your general philosophy of life in some way. Meeting someone new who has the potential to become close to you is another possibility. Keep working at resolving any home issues as there will be opportunities to do so though it is likely to require some new ideas and approaches. Remember that we usually can't solve old problems without raising our level of thinking from what it was at the time they erupted. Some sort of action on the financial front is brewing with information on its way.

Daily and Short-term Aspects

February 5 - 7: Expanding your understanding of a situation related to home is possible today. This is likely to be triggered by new information coming your way from someone close to you. Opportunities for resolving some old relationship issues are likely to result. If you do your part you're likely to come away with a really good feeling that ultimately changes you in a positive way.

February 10: If you have any financial issues looming before you or perhaps have some needs that aren't being met, spend some time today thinking about them and what you can do to improve the situation. Think outside the box and be willing to accept the possibility of taking a new approach from what you've done in the past. Mercury goes into Aquarius, your 8th House of transformations, facilitating a meaningful change as needed.

February 11: Venus enters Pisces, your 9th House of beliefs, expectations, legal matters, higher learning, relocation and so forth today, bringing her blessings to that part of your life. As a fellow Water Sign, this placement is quite favorable for you.

February 12: Expect to make some adjustments or a complete change of course with regard to an old relationship issue that will involve either your personal needs or finances. Talking about responsibilities in the home is particularly favored.

February 13: New Moon today as noted above.

February 14: Happy Valentine's Day! Today is an excellent day to take care of anything you've been hanging onto that needs to be let go. Inspiration is out there to help out if needed.

February 15 - 16: If you didn't get everything cleared up yesterday, today is very favorable for finishing the job. Good feelings are very likely if you take care of business and lead with your heart.

February 18: The Sun enters Pisces, providing light and understanding to your 9th House matters, making it easier to see any related issues and situations more clearly.

February 20 - 23: Another excellent day for pondering those things that have been causing you distress and finding viable solutions. You emotions are your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. Figure out how they fit into the situation. What past relationship issues are still hanging over your head?

February 27: More inspiration is out there for the taking, but make sure you don't get too carried away. Avoid being too idealistic or you'll set yourself up for disappointment. You're likely to be fairly dreamy and unmotivated today so don't expect to accomplish too much.

February 28: Another day where an "Aha!" moment is likely. Full Moon today as well, as described above.
