A moon wobble will occur on January 29, making the last half of the month a time of heightened emotions. These currents will be felt between January 20 and February 2. On January 28, the sun aligns with the north node in Aquarius, which brings opportunities for growth in relationships and important new connections. On January 31, Mercury turns direct and we can move forward again with our plans and goals.



The second Saturn/Uranus opposition, at 21 Virgo/Pisces, occurs on February 5. Since this aspect squares the powerful December Full Moon and occurs between eclipses, it may serve as a trigger point for significant world events. At this time we are more receptive to dreams and visions, especially as they relate to the broader world scene and our own role within it. It is a good time to ask for guidance on how to actualize one's unique talents in the world.



On February 9, the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs at 21 Leo. This eclipse has challenging aspects with both Neptune and Uranus, which increases the occurrence of illusion, deception and the need for sudden adjustments. Leo themes include leadership, creativity, confidence, recreation and play, generosity and risk-taking. This lunar eclipse will activate planets in the middle to late degrees of fixed signs.



The middle of February features an alignment of the North Node of the moon with Jupiter and Mars from Feb. 14-17 and then with Mercury on Feb. 22, all at 9 degrees of Aquarius. This will be a favorable time for beginning new relationships of all types and also receiving opportunities through others. We feel more energized, confident and assertive at this time. Beneficial contacts between Venus, Mars and Jupiter also heighten the prospects for romance and good networking/social events. The Mercury, North Node and Jupiter alignment favors communications that lead to significant events and alliances.



The New Moon occurs on February 24 at 6 Pisces 35. A harmonious aspect with Pluto will bring opportunities to deepen our connections with others by cultivating more sensitivity and compassion. Pisces themes include following our ideals and inspirations; and being creative, visionary, dreamy and spiritual. During this lunation, it will be favorable to incorporate our spirituality, creativity and ideals into daily life. In March we will have another opportunity to focus on our relationships and finances when Venus turns retrograde. Blessings to all for harmony, peace and prosperity in 2009!
