FEBRUARY 2023
RUNE OF THE MONTH: “Rad”, riding the chariot. It is now time to share our ideas with the world. Only by testing what we have created in the real world, can we know if it works. This month requires of us the courage to show our truth and receive the feedback that will enable us to keep moving forward.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Sunday 2/5. Let us take out as many blank sheets of paper as we have intentions and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Leo at exactly 10:29 AM. Once that moment passes, let us gather our Full Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder.
On Sunday 2/19, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 11:06 PM for the New Moon in Pisces. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

Friday 2/3: Sun Square Uranus (6:50 PM)
A day to expect the unexpected. Plans change suddenly. New circumstances appear. People we hadn’t seen in a while, reappear. Fallouts alienate us from people we thought we were close to. To make the most of these strange situations, it is important that we remain very flexible, present to the present, and just go with the flow.
Saturday 2/4: Venus Square Mars (7:29 PM)
We could feel frustrated. A relationship may break down due to impulsive, destructive behavior. Today, impatient, aggressive action may not be the most suited to remove obstacles in our social life. Poised, honest, direct responses are more effective in bringing back harmony and balance.
Monday 2/6: Mercury Sextile Neptune (10:26 AM)
A day best spent in quiet contemplation. Not the best for decisions requiring attention to details, as we tend to overlook important, practical information. Excellent however for creative work. Our imagination is productive. We are inspired by art, and what lies on the other side of the veil.
Tuesday 2/7: Venus Sextile Uranus (9:29 PM)
Love turns to friendship, while a friendship may become a love. Romance is unusual, either because of the manner in which we meet this person, or the nature of that new love interest. A day to balance intimacy and freedom. We seek financial independence and may receive an unexpected income. Our social life becomes varied and interesting.
Friday 2/10: Mercury Conjunct Pluto (9:16 AM)
Today we are able to X-ray situations and people. However, to reach the results we seek, it is important that we remain cooperative, helpful, polite, and considerate of others.
Saturday 2/11: Mercury enters Aquarius (3:22 AM) till 3/2
During the next 3 weeks, our mind is open to unusual topics, we connect dots in special ways, are inventive, futuristic, and highly individualistic. We are attracted to science fiction and technology. More friendly and sociable than usual, we enjoy people from all walks of life.
Wednesday 2/15: Venus Conjunct Neptune (4:25 AM)
Love may be evasive. Romance and enchantment may not be all they seem to be. We could easily fall in love with love and be deceived by someone who is not telling us the whole truth. Money matters are strange. Frauds are possible. We feel vulnerable and somewhat lazy. A day to take it easy, relax, watch an inspiring movie, and be creative.
Thursday 2/16: Sun Conjunct Saturn (8:48 AM)
A day of thoughtful, mature, serious behavior. Great for completing backlogged work, furthering our ambitions, and making long-term plans. We either seek the company of people we respect and admire or prefer to stay alone.
Friday 2/17: Mercury Sextile Jupiter (6:13 PM)
A wonderful day to plan a long-distance trip, learn a foreign language, or start an advanced training. The law, religion, or philosophy are appealing topics of interest. We are positive. Our faith and trust in life, as well as our self-confidence are at an all times’ high.
Saturday 2/18: the Sun enters Pisces (2:34 PM) till 3/20
During the coming month, we could feel more dreamy than usual. We seek peace, balance, and beauty. Meditation and art are attractive. Sacredness is inspiring. Our dreams could be particularly meaningful.
Sunday 2/19: Venus Sextile Pluto (9:05 AM), Venus enters Aries (11:56 PM) till 3/16
A relationship begun today feels destined. Emotions run deep. Our passion burns with intensity. An excellent day for a financial investment that will bring abundance over time. During the next 4 weeks, we are emotionally impulsive, prone to falling in love with love, and leaping before thinking things through. We may spend money more quickly than we are able to earn it.
Tuesday 2/21: Mercury Square Uranus (2:22 PM)
A strange set of circumstances may throw us off kilter. People are likely to act in detached, erratic ways. We are drawn to a new, exciting topic of interest. Independent action is appealing. Our mind functions in unusual ways.
Wednesday 2/22: Mercury Trine Mars (12:14 PM)
Our thoughts are competitive, sharp, and alive. A great day for expanding physical energy on work requiring much courage and stamina. People may be aggressive or opinionated. Calling a spade a spade, being direct and honest helps us get our point across effectively.
Wishing you a wonderful month of February!
In Loving Light.
