The Full Snow Moon occured on January 31st and was a Lunar Eclipse in Leo!
It was the second full moon for that month which is called a Blue Moon! The first two weeks of February will be a completion of the lunar cycle and allow us to work with the energy that this eclipse brought to the surface. Three planets in Aquarius opposite the eclipse asks us to balance between our own ego fulfilment and humanitarian efforts. Love planet Venus visits romantic Pisces on the 10th; just in time for Valentine’s Day. Along with Neptune’s rose colored glasses we may be much more idealistic and ready to make many sacrifices for romantic love and other things we hold dear. We spend more and give more; and need to escape for a while.
The New Moon on the 15th is a Solar Eclipse in progressive, inventive Aquarius.
Connecting to Mercury, this energy can put us in a forward moving mind set with many ideas and unique way to implement them. Intellectual planet Mercury joins Venus in Pisces on the 17th and then on the 18th, the expressive Sun shines his light into this intuitive, psychic sign. Now we have four out of ten planets expressing the compassionate, charitable traits of the introspective and sympathetic sign of Pisces. Art and music are highlighted. Logic and clarity are not easily achieved now and we may make decisions with our feelings instead of rationality. Fiery Mars blazes through adventurous Sagittarius all month. We want space and freedom to do as we please. Be careful of crusading for causes you aren’t clear about. Or, taking on missions or projects with unknown risks.
