THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for February 2023
Aquarius
A manifold quality of time brings vibrancy and creativity in February. It is a good time to try out new ways and behaviours, to explore personal boundaries and redefine them if necessary. On the 1st of the month, the Aquarius Sun, still in trine to Mars in Gemini, forms a sextile to Chiron in Aries. Talk about the things that trouble you, even if it's hard, and be willing to listen, even though some stories may be unpleasant. Some old wounds may finally heal now, if only they are allowed to become visible.
These days there are ample and often unexpected opportunities to change entrenched patterns of behaviour, especially on February 4, when the Sun squares Uranus in Taurus. A spirit of optimism is in the air!
Mars and Venus
An alert mood and active affirmation of life can be felt at the Leo Full Moon on February 5. Uranus squares the Sun and Moon. Romantic Pisces in Venus squares Mars at the same time. It is an intense time for lovers and for those who want to be. New, surprisingly profound encounters can occur now.
Existing partner relationships could be greatly intensified. But be sure to take yourself as well as your counterpart seriously, and do not avoid possible conflicts. Only those who stand up for themselves will be able to reap the fruits of this time. Suppression could result in open revolt now.
Mercury and Pluto
Mercury meets Pluto on February 10, one day before it enters Aquarius. Be careful with any agreements or contracts during this time! Check thoroughly to make sure all information is known and agreements are being honoured. Some information channels may go crazy for a moment now, and ugly news may well surface.
The following days are somewhat contradictory. Venus makes a conjunction with Neptune on February 15. You can hardly imagine a more romantic mood, and some would love to lose themselves in wonderful dreams. However, the Sun meets Saturn in Aquarius on February 16, making it clear once again that even the most wonderful and grandiose dreams do not come true by themselves.
Pisces
On February 18, the Sun enters Pisces. It is the last sign in the zodiac and brings with it the themes of unity, merging and letting go. The New Moon in Pisces follows two days later, on February 20. Venus enters Aries on the same day. Artistic people in particular could accomplish great things at this time. A trip to a concert or the theatre could now turn into a stellar moment.
The time is also ideal for meditation and contemplation. Self-discipline is conducive. When the Moon meets Neptune on February 21 and Mercury squares Uranus, words could be found for emotional experiences that have not yet been communicable. Beware, however, of talking things to death, especially on February 22, when Mercury and Mars trine each other.
