Celebrate Love

It is always a good idea to celebrate love. When I was young I scoffed at Valentine’s Day. I still struggle with its commercialism and the pressure it puts to be in love. Many folks wish they were in love and others are much happier and healthier on their own.
 
Regardless of where you stand with this, let’s all welcome a day that celebrates love.
 
It would be great to create a day for those whose preference it is to be single. We should celebrate Love in October when the Sun is in Libra and celebrate being single in February with the Sun in Aquarius.
 
Here we are celebrating love during the time of year when there is a tendency for cool objectivity. Celebrate just the same!
 
Love arrives in our lives in so many guises, this week, let’s celebrate Love in all its forms.

We are so grateful and will recommend this experience to all our partnered friends! Thank you.  – V.R. Oregon

EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE

Monday, February 14, 2022

The week begins with the Moon entering Leo at 6:17 AM EST. Leo is a very personal self-oriented sign. When the moon is in LEO we look for a greater level of attention and dramatic expression.

Remember that as you consider how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. If you have a partner, shower them with warmth and generosity. This is not the year to take a low-key approach to this holiday. If you are single do the same for yourself. Shower yourself with warmth and generosity and great expressions of self-love. Leo loves gifts, don’t scrimp.

At 4:53 PM EST Mercury, the planet that represents how we think, what we think about and our communications enters Aquarius. This signals a time when our hunger for knowledge will increase as we are open to original or unusual ideas. Allow your thoughts to expand beyond previous constraints.

Determine to bring more objectivity and progressive thinking to all your conversations. Keep your eyes open for innovative big ideas and be ready to share them with others. Mercury remains in Aquarius until March 9th.

 

THE CHOICES WE MAKE DIRECT OUR LIVES

Tuesday, February 15, 2022

Today’s Leo Moon is about gratitude and generosity. Leo is ruled by the Sun and turns our attention to playfulness and warmth. However, the Moon engages in several rough conversations today. At 3:56 AM EST, she forms a square aspect to Uranus. You may wake with anxiety about social or cultural concerns. At 3:39 PM EST with the opposition to Saturn, you may feel somehow restricted or constrained by others. Do your best to sidestep these issues and they will pass without undue difficulties.

The best way to deal with the challenge of today is twofold. First, make the conscious choice to remain focused on gratitude. Even if an interaction with a friend or family member leaves you feeling overwhelmed, judged, or annoyed, choose gratitude. Be grateful for what you are learning about how to manage yourself in less-than-ideal situations. You can choose gratitude and love in every interaction

 

EXPRESSION, CELEBRATION, ACTION – LEO FULL MOON

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

At 9:28 AM EST Venus and Mars join together in Capricorn. During the recent Venus retrograde, we participated in reevaluating our deepest values. With Venus now direct and coming into contact with Mars it is time to take action on whatever your reevaluation revealed to you. It may not be comfortable but it is important.

When Venus and Mars join together desires and assertiveness are heightened. We want what we want and are ready to do something to bring our desires to fruition. Being passive isn’t an option. We may be more outgoing than usual and willing to take the initiative, particularly where relationships are concerned. If you have been aware of someone in your orbit and considering a romantic dalliance, you very well may be ready to take action on it over the next 24 hours.

At 11:56 AM EST, the Full Moon occurs at 28 degrees of Leo. Adjust the time for your time zone. The Full Moon brings us to a time of illumination, a celebration as we reach the pinnacle of the lunar cycle. Both the cycle that began six months ago and the shorter cycle that began two weeks ago are in full view now. In the monthly lunar cycle, this is the illumination of what began two weeks ago at the Aquarius New Moon on February 1st. Regarding the larger cycle, this brings us to a point of awareness from the Leo New Moon on August 8, 2021. Think of Full Moons as times when these two cycles come together. How are they connected for you?

At 3:42 PM EST, the Moon leaves Leo behind and enters Virgo. This settles us down as we look forward to the next few days where simple kindness with be an important component of your agenda. Also important will be keeping your life and environment neat and tidy. A tidy environment will help you to maintain emotional equilibrium.

In this week’s Full Moon video Jennie and I discuss not only the Full Moon but also how is the conjunction between Venus and Mars impacts your natal chart. If you receive this newsletter in your email you will get the Leo Full Moon video delivered directly.

 

AN INNOVATIVE VISION COMES INTO VIEW

Thursday, February 17, 2022

With the Moon in Virgo, we incline toward practical activities. We want all to be well, tidy, and proper. This is a time of analyzing and organizing. We find ourselves more concerned than usual about dietary and health issues. We long to be of help to others by solving problems, being of service, and making order when little exists. 

At 12:33 PM EST, the Moon trine Uranus adds a bit of excitement and spice to the afternoon. Take advantage of this in social interactions. Expand your understanding of others and the world around you.

At 7:12 PM EST, with Jupiter sextile Uranus, the energy of creative innovation has been building throughout the day. We may have a powerful longing to achieve a level of personal freedom and independence that has felt out of reach in recent months. Consider the changes that you can make that will open your eyes to a fresh idealistic vision of the future. Find inspiration in creative ideas intended to remove you from restrictive circumstances. Expand your involvement in humanitarian-based projects to help others do the same.

A SEASON TO DREAM – SUN ENTERS PISCES

Friday, February 18, 2022

The steadfast Virgo Moon supports a day for rolling up your sleeves and making preparations for the Pisces Season ahead. Home tasks such as cleaning, tidying, or organization will feel good and you will be glad to have put in the effort.

The Sun enters Pisces at 11:42 AM EST, bringing us to the season of imagination, dreams, and inspiration. With Venus still in Capricorn and Mercury in Aquarius, the Sun enters this realm without its most common cohorts.  Mercury is speeding up following its retrograde but won’t reach Pisces until March 9th. However, the Sun is not alone as both Jupiter and Neptune are awaiting its arrival. 

With the Sun in Pisces, we are inspired and uplifted by imagination and feelings of compassion for others. Pisces is the sign that learns altruism, compassion, and devotion through sharing the suffering of being human. This is a time to open your heart to what suffering can teach you about the human condition we all share. Allow yourself to rest and dream, to allow yourself to help others without expecting anything in return. You may feel a deep need to withdraw or retreat from the world in order for inner restoration. 

The Moon leaves Virgo behind to enters Libra at 10:50 PM EST. Pay attention to the ‘others’ who populate your dreams. 

 

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? FLIP A COIN

Saturday, February 19, 2022

With the Moon in Libra for the weekend, your desire turns to the creation of beauty in your environment and pleasure in your relationships. In all our interactions we are able to understand the perspectives of others. We long to create a sense of balance between ourselves and those close to us.

When the Moon is in Libra we can see both sides of situations we find ourselves in or issues that are being discussed. It can be difficult to take a stand or make a decision. Sometimes it is best to simply flip a coin. 

We long to please others this weekend and as the Moon forms a trine aspect to Mercury this morning our conversations flow easily. You may not be able to hold strong boundaries for yourself but you will certainly be able to engage in pleasant intellectual banter. 

As always when the Moon is in Libra, make your home a beautiful place to be. Spring is on the way and tulips on the dining room table and the nightstand will make your heart sing. 

 

CREATE PLEASURABLE CONNECTIONS

Sunday, February 20, 2022

The Moon continues its path through Libra today keeping our focus on our emotional connections with others.

At 6:46 AM EST, the Moon forms a flowing trine aspect to Saturn stabilizing our emotions. Don’t get complacent however because shortly after, at 10:25 AM EST she forms a difficult square with Mars. When you feel this aggravation get outdoors for a walk or spend some time alone. It will pass quickly if you don’t activate it with a quarrel. Wait for the aggravation to pass and don’t rock the boat.

Libra is the Cardinal Air sign ruled by Venus. With the Moon here we need to connect with others. By afternoon you will be able to enjoy friendly and pleasurable connections. You will want to focus on relationships, teamwork, and the creation of beauty. Engage in intellectual, diplomatic, and polite conversations in a harmonious social environment.

A reminder from yesterday: when the Moon is in Libra, make your home a beautiful place to be. Spring is on the way and tulips on the dining room table and the nightstand will make your heart sing. 

 

 

In these weekly reports, I explore the major aspects formed by transit between the planets. I do not consider every aspect that the Moon makes each day as they can be numerous and give rise to fleeting moods. The aspects under consideration: conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, and oppositions. The planets I work with: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

 

 

The Changing Moon this Week

The Moon sets the emotional tone as she moves through the Zodiac day-to-day. It takes approximately 28 days to traverse the entire Zodiac.
