We are in a time of high emotional intensity this week as we prepare for Saturn, the planet of karma, to move from the sign of Pisces to the sign of Aries, where it will conjunct Neptune, the planet of illusions. There, Saturn will begin a new two-and-a-half-year cycle. The exact conjunction will be on February 20th and represents a new cycle in humanity and in our lives. It is highly recommended to do a personal astrological chart reading to understand where this conjunction is in your chart and how it will influence your life.
The evening of Sunday, February 1st, brings the Full Moon in Aquarius. The Moon in Leo is in opposition to Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Venus, and Mercury. The Full Moon is the most positive day of the month. The axis and the tension between the head and the heart are strong. This tension helps us to open our hearts and use our creativity to bring positivity to the world.
The Sun is in the sign of Aquarius, and Aquarius works from the head. For the archetype of the sign, life is a concept. But we know that life is also an experience, and being present with the heart brings blessings into our lives. As the Moon is going to be in opposition to the personal planets, its energy will be felt in our desires, relationships, and communication. The idea is to consider how to develop closeness and sensitivity toward others. Sometimes, Aquarius can be rigid and dogmatic with opinions that can sound amazing in theory, but not practical or relevant in our daily lives.
Tuesday, the Moon moves to Virgo, and it starts with a conjunction to the South Node. On days when things are not happening the way we had expected, or when they require sensitivity and flexibility, know that things may unfold even better than we planned. By opening ourselves to listen to the universe and letting go of an agenda and personal interests, we can tap into something greater than us. This is especially true on the day after the Moon opposes Saturn, which marks the axis of understanding that everything is a gift from the universe, even if it seems negative at first. It is up to us to channel the energy, and we can turn everything into a blessing.
Later that day, the Moon will also oppose Neptune. Things might seem confusing and unclear, but again, rather than thinking with your rational mind, meditate, invite your higher self into the equation, and the universe will guide you. This week, the universe encourages us to think outside the box and bring the power of our souls into our lives.
