February 2018

What is brought to life or swept away by the total lunar eclipse sets the stage for the solar eclipse fresh page of February 15. This eclipse (and the lunar eclipse of Jan 31) are partnered with the previous set of eclipses; they bring to life all that has been in the works since last August.

The solar eclipse in Aquarius of Feb 15 sets the future into play in some dynamic, sudden, unexpected, radical, and/or karmic way. This eclipse has major shock value to it. Mercury and Juno, the contract asteroid, are teamed up with the eclipse. Watch for a public or political figure or organization to be a striking newsmaker; the weather could be too. Watch for an announcement, exceptional news, a key event, a birth or death to claim headlines. Someone of significance (a friend, agent, sibling or other family member, lover) to be a major catalyst for this eclipse. Someone could burst onto the scene or take a sudden exit. This eclipse sets the stage for a complete lifestyle overhaul, for a radical departure from the past, for a bright, even exceptional, new chapter to begin. Something that once looked promising may bite the dust, but on the other hand, a true potential gains a strong momentum.  Miracles can happen when you least expect them. Something outside of the box, that you may have thought “never in a billion years” may be an ideal prospect/very much worth taking on.

Whether jarring, radical, or exciting, change is for the best. Now that the reality has gotten your attention, it is not a time to minimize its importance, or to sweep it under the carpet. Aim to stay a step ahead and stay on the lookout for something more to speed you along.

The solar new moon eclipse in Aquarius on Feb 15 is only a partial eclipse, but don’t under-estimate its ability to completely shift your thinking and your awareness, to alter your reality. Mercury and Juno, the contract asteroid, are teamed up with the eclipse.  Watch for someone or something out of the blue to be an instrumental catalyst for what happens next. The eclipse can be liberating or freeing in some unexpected way.  It can accelerate a legal or court issue, advance matters with an authority figure or official, or prompt a significant bank transaction.

Venus leaves Aquarius for Pisces on Feb 10, but Mercury, continuing in Aquarius to Feb 17 keeps you quick on the ball.

The solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 15 can produce something exciting, perhaps even exceptional. A special event, synchronistic meet-up or piece of news can give you plenty to talk about. Someone or something unexpected could be instrumental in setting the future on its course. Mercury in Aquarius and Juno aligned with the eclipse increase the sense of fate or destiny regarding all new adventures.

You may not have much choice in the matter but know that opportunity is on the rise. Both eclipses can make for a wild ride regarding intimate relationships, finances (earning potentials, debt, inheritances, divorce issues, etc.) and contracts (karmic, actual). Yes, the risk factor is significant, but so too the potential reward. Once the threshold is crossed, there is no turning back, only moving/jettisoning forward. Don’t waste a moment, the eclipses are built for speed, not for comfort!

The lunar eclipse illuminates and/or shakes up matters pertaining to a key relationship. Often an eclipse holds an element of the unexpected, the disruptive, or the jarring. That is doubly true when Aquarius planets are involved. This recent eclipse has likely served as a wake-up call and/or to help you to shatter through a sound barrier (yours or theirs). Hopefully you’ll gain better insight into what’s in your heart, what you have been dealing with and/or creating.

From the first of the month through mid month, aim to move yourself to higher ground, to get clearer on what or whom is in your best interests, to get the dust settled on what was kick up earlier in the month.

The solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 15 will be particularly catapulting if you are born near/at the end of Leo (Aug 19 – 22) but of course, as stated above, none of us are immune. Expect the unexpected, this eclipse can thrust you into a whole new social, financial, or relationship reality. From one extreme to another, this eclipse could take you on a wild ride. Mercury in Aquarius and Juno, the contract asteroid, are major contributors. Karmic destiny is at peak. Watch for someone to make a striking entrance or exit. At the very least, watch for a special event or some added excitement to come your way.

The total lunar eclipse (Jan 31) has likely brought something buried to the surface. Even if it has been jarring or disruptive, the purpose of this exposure is to move it to higher ground. It’s a process, so ride with it/let it unfold, but don’t deny it or stuff it back down, deal with it openly, consciously, and deliberately. There’s still much that is still hidden from view or beyond your access right now, but you’ll get a handle on it in due course.

The partial solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 15 can change your day to day reality in some dynamic, perhaps, sudden or exceptional way. It can be an auspicious time to start a new job, speciality, line of work, health treatment, to sign a contract, to begin a major lifestyle change. The unexpected is on ready trigger, so please do not take any risks with transportation, health, physical activity, sexual encounters, food, drugs, medicines, or money. Accidents, ruptures, breakdowns, or repairs can happen too. When an inkling or warning signal gets your attention, pay heed. Mercury in Aquarius is a major contributor to the solar eclipse (the lunar eclipse too). You could be directly or indirectly impacted by another. It could be a sibling, neighbour, colleague, agent, advisor, specialist, employee, or co-worker. You may be called up to fill a vacancy or to step in when someone else can’t participate or do the job. Another’s loss may be your gain.

If it has produced a shockwave, give yourself extra time to process it. As the start of February unfolds, more is revealed. February 3 to 6, Venus, your ruler, is in high gear with first Jupiter then Uranus. Nothing is small or insignificant about this move along time! Feb 5, you can hit a good communication stride. Use this day to connect, discuss, and to smooth-out rough edges.

The eventful solar eclipse in Aquarius on Feb 15 can also produce the exceptional, the liberating, the radical, or out of the blue. Someone special could show up or take an exit too. This is an excellent, even auspicious time for personal, material, relationship, and lifestyle reinvention. Don’t hesitate to try your luck on something or someone new. You could find yourself taking on something radically different than what you have anticipated, have known, or have created in the past. The eclipse could produce a special event, a stroke of genius, or exceptional synchronicity. It could blow you away in some striking way. Aligned with Mercury and Juno in Aquarius, this eclipse could bring someone special into your life or see someone take a sudden exit. Juno can deliver a contract, karmic or actual. Expect whatever fires up to move along a rapid track.

This eclipse and the partial solar eclipse of February 15 aim to jettison your personal or professional life in some bust-up-the-concrete way. A major contract is in the works, actual or karmic in nature. Something from your past can be brought to new life or get taken up a great big notch. Noting that Mercury is a key player for the solar eclipse (the lunar eclipse too), it is possible that someone from your past could be instrumental regarding how you build it forward from here.

February’s eclipses are the springboard for that which has been on brew/in the works since the last set of eclipses in August. The solar eclipse can signify the end of a process or stage and the start of a next or new phase.

February opens with the total lunar eclipse in Leo (Jan 31), taking you through a consciousness raising, awakening and/or reviving process that unfurls over the day and weeks that follow. This eclipse and the partial solar eclipse of February 15 bring you to the next phase of that which was set in motion last August during the last set of eclipses. The total lunar eclipse in Leo is a journey of heart to be sure. Think back to 12 years ago. There may be some recall/reclaiming/further processing to do from that time. The eclipse is especially generating for Sagittarius born at the start of December.

The partial solar eclipse on February 15 is particularly notable for Sagittarius folk born on or near Dec 19. Favouring communicators, educators, creators, and lovers, it’s an excellent transit for taking your ideas to a whole new level. Destiny is in the making. A flash of inspiration, an intuitive hit, or an instant connection with someone or something is worth jumping on/can springboard you in some significant and exciting way. Watch for a key someone to light a spark/jump start you or to act an instrumental catalyst for what happens next. Mercury and Juno aligned with the eclipse can launch a relationship contract, karmic or actual.

Watch for more to unfold in the first few days of the month. The total lunar eclipse brings the emotions into better focus. Objectivity serves your well. Are you getting your needs met? How can you show up for yourself in a new and more liberated way? Your soul is clamouring for a fresh page. This recent eclipse and the solar eclipse on Feb 15 are both focused on major improvement in matters of heart and wallet. Both set the stage for something new to begin. Before that happens, something must be addressed and jettisoned if its in the way.

The solar eclipse in Aquarius on Feb 15 can see you tap resources you didn’t know you had. This eclipse can be auspicious for new financial opportunities and investments, or a major lifestyle overhaul. You could find yourself suddenly set free/liberated. Perhaps there’s a relevancy to 12 years ago. Too the eclipse could produce something or someone out of the blue. Risk is in the mix, but don’t let it stop you. Something innovative, cutting edge or outside of the box could be the it ticket. Mercury aligned with the eclipse could see someone act as a key catalyst to what happens next. Stay open, stay game; grab opportunity with both hands; reinvent when you get the chance.

Both the lunar eclipse and solar eclipse are trigger points for the eclipses from last August. The past six months has been a seeding and stage time of greater than average potency. You may or may not be fully aware of all that has been on brew, but rest assured when the soul is ready, destiny turns on the light.

A lunar eclipse brings an important relationship or personal life matter to a peak. The solar eclipse marks an auspicious time to take a full dive into something brand new.

As the first few days of February unfold, the total eclipse can reveal a lucrative potential or opportunity that has not yet seen the full light of day. It is likely that the “work in progress” is something that is near and dear to your heart.  There is no better time than right now to go for it with all your heart.

The solar eclipse of February 15 lights up the area of your chart where yet unrealized potentials sit waiting for their time is ripe moment. Watch for a great inspiration, a brainstorm, your creative genius to kick into play. When it does, don’t dawdle! Take the ball and run with it! You stand to gain something you will truly treasure. With Mercury in Aquarius and Juno in Aquarius as instrumental players, watch for something out of the blue, something exciting, perhaps exceptional, and most definitely karmic in nature, to give you wings.
