Happy February 2010
Happy Birthday
Aquarius and Pisces
Sun sign people
February is the 2nd month of a number 3 year making this month an 5 month of change and change is the theme of this year …February was named from the Latin word Februare, a word that the Latin’s borrowed from the Sabines and it means “TO PURIFY” Self. And with so Much Pisces energy Coming in Purification of thought is our theme which grows increasingly stronger each month of 2010 and takes us into 2011.
January 20th through February 18th in the American Indian Tradition is called the REST AND CLEANSING MOON. IT is said that a silver cord that holds our souls to our body in energized during this time. Using silver, water, candles and anything, which aids your own internal perception and will help your emotions to flow properly works well during this time, what can it hurt and most of us surely need more energy don’t we?
MY New Year brought me some strong signs of changes which need to happen in my life and in the lives of those around me. And, Don’t we all say “GIVE ME A SIGN” well, what signs are you receiving now and are you recognizing them? Pisces Energy is about merging and connecting and what are you picking up energetically from others? Recognizing this and being a bit more aware of your surroundings might be a good theme for us all this next year.
- Colors for February are traditionally Silvers and blues for cleansing and clearing
- Flowers are Snowdrops and wood anemone:
- And the stones held sacred in ancient times were the Peridot and coral. And from Ancient times the Amethyst
Generating the power from within is our task for right now.. AND as planets are only messengers or energies to bring powers to us, please use this months gifts to reflect, ponder and shift your mind and then watch your life follow.
We are truly dreaming our lives and I kept getting “OUR LIVES ARE SELF FULFILLING PROPHECIES” in meditations this month…and this next year will be perhaps one of the most powerful years you have ever lived within. AND within is the key, living within deep thought, heart energy, the inner mind and connection to inner knowing asks of us all that we now be not so concerned with Immediate progress and ponder long term goals and how we want to FEEL AT this time next year. Not so much an event, a goal but a FEELING we want about our lives and our surroundings and how we get there this next year may not be a direct path towards a goal but much inward letting go of resistances and opening to The flow of DIVINE guidance.
On January 29th the Full moon at 20 Leo and 10 Aquarius asked us where are we STUCK? What outdated visions, ideas, goals and POWER OF SELF energy are we still stuck within which is not in alignment with the new energy this year? It is time until the new moon on the 13th of February to search out our own resistances and begin to recognize how they are harming not only ourselves but those around us and perhaps the world.
Leo retrograde still in the Heart centered Leo (fire and passion) sign we are asked to realign with heart and find answers from within our heart and soul and not so much with the mind. Saturn retrograde in Libra asks us to reconnect to peace, to win win themes for ourselves and the world. Saturn in Libra asks us to do the work with others, and to let go of The aspect of winning for Self and begin to rethink cooperation and how we could all win.
To make this process of letting go, rethinking and reconfiguring our material lives in 2010 , even easier for us to do we will have Mercury going retrograde this year 4 times in Earth signs. This is another indication of financial shifts and changes, living circumstances changing for those around us and major shifts in business and perhaps our own ideas of what is really important to us. We can do these things easily when we are in flow and knowing there is divine guidance and maybe not so easy when we are centered in the I KNOW what I want aspect. Knowing what we want is fine this year, but knowing how it will come to us? Well, that might not be working quite as we would like.
Mercury was retrograde in Capricorn as we entered 2010 and direct now in Capricorn until the 10th when it moves to the mentally agile and change ruled sign of Aquarius. And we will become more mentally agile and hopefully a bit more flexible.
On the 11th, 12th, we have a WONDEROUS Dark of the moon energy, leading us into some fantastic energy for the new moon on the 13th. This energetic pattern is helping us change not only the monkey mind (lower mind thoughts) But higher connection to the divine mind, wherever you think this resides, within the heart in the Mars in Leo Retrograde or in your soul.
We have some fantastic energy for 11th, to create new visions of what we want as VENUS the planet of love moves to Pisces, and the 12th as the moon in Aquarius encourages us to new ideas, and the 13th with the new moon in Aquarius helping us break patterns and align with new hopes and visions.
The 14th and the 15th with the moon in Pisces carries us into the dream of what could be from which I believe we need to recreate this whole next year so these may be the most important days of this year.
Use the dark of the moon this month (11th and 12th) please to create new visions from Feelings (not emotions, but deep, strong powerful connected inner feelings) … I have articles on my website about this if you want to know more..
With the sun in the sign of Aquarius until the 18th we are asked to ponder deeply the meaning of life and create new visions of ourselves and how we connect to others.
On the 18th when the Sun enters the watery and psychic land of Pisces.. Those visions become much more real, and the ability to touch, smell, feel and really connect with more than you could dream possible becomes stronger. This energy will work in relationships, business and your inner world and is much more powerful this year than ever before...as Uranus the planet of change and Jupiter the planet of MORE now in Pisces merge within a month or so encouraging changes from that deep well of inner knowing and source.
As Jupiter moves further and further away from Chiron and Neptune and closer to Uranus the dream is being created perhaps from what we see as Chaos but what the universe sees as divine order. Question less, trust more and believe truly that you are CREATOR of much of your life this next year from your mental approaches as well as your emotional approaches to things…is my suggestion to us all. MIRACLES are now really happening from how people believe and think as well as some not so good things.
If we were to truly understand the power of this year we would all.
- Wait 24 hours before making major decisions
- Stop and breathe energetically deeply MUCH more often each day bringing in
Light and peace and calming and letting go of the stress and stuff we are picking
Up from others. - Recognize that there may be a plan better than our plan and when we quit
Resisting it just could be here for us - Be open to doing what you said you would NEVER DO and find that you enjoy
It and be open to being delighted and surprised at your own Willingness to change - Know that change is here and our part is to KNOW and believe that it is for the best
This month the magical days for this are of course all 29 of them. But using the 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16th , 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th, for meditation, prayer, breathing exercise and anything which allows you to let go of stress and create positive thoughts rather than worry.
The 27th as Mercury joins with Neptune and the higher and lower mind merge to create POSITIVE thoughts, and positive love filled visions of how this next year is going to FEEL for us all is a very magical day leading us to the FULL moon on the 28th in Pisces and Virgo.
Pisces asks we let go and move into the dream and Virgo asks that we be healthy and find the work we can do to allow this to happen.
This month just could be the month that you find you truly are the MAGICIAN And by letting go of what you thought you wanted, discover that which will truly make you happy, productive and the creator of joy for yourself and others.
Namaste
