February Wake It Up Forecast

February is a month of love, compassion, healing, and empowerment. As we move through the end of Aquarius season with our new ideas buzzing and into Pisces season where we go from head to heart, thought to vision something magical happens. At first, it might feel a bit heavy like you know there's work to do, but are unsure of how that work is supposed to look or what order of steps you should take. Know that it is ok to be still right now, pause for clarity, take self inquiry, and do some deep releasing if you need it. Grief is a part of the process of elevation as much as we would love to avoid it. February's tornado of air and water energy teaches us to balance between the need to cling and the urge to jump ship; it reminds us to make sure our heads and hearts are in agreement fully before taking action, and asks us what of ourselves w want to keep and what gets left behind. We are asked to nurture our relationships with vulnerability, emotional intimacy, and compassion. Open your heart this month to love in whatever form it decides to reveal itself to you. You might be wonderfully surprised by what you find.

Affirmation of the month: I understand that it is always darkest just before dawn. The only thing that exists is the here and now. I am right here right now. Yesterday is of the past and tomorrow is a figment of my imagination. I will do what I can here and now. I open my heart in receptivity for the resources, support, and consistency I need. I embrace discipline and release as a self care practice. I am connected to the all, source resides within me, I am infinite and my experience of tomorrow is not limited to the problems and flaws of today.

Books of the Month: The How by Yrsa Daley Ward & Anatomy of the Spirit by Caroline Myss-February is all about purification, acceptance, and balance. It is here where we want to work diligently toward improving our daily standards, changing our habits, and patterns in action so that we can solidify the long term changes underway and to come. It is here that we strengthen our relationships with ourselves. We reconcile our past selves with our present selves, and take actions toward the future selves we see emerging. We get to know ourselves intimately and our relationships are fed and thrive as a function of that. I think these two books will help us with the work of February.

Transits & Aspects to Note

2/1 Neptune semi sextile true node Our intuitive abilities, sensitivity, and cultural awareness will be enhanced. We are more creative and have clarity and how and where to direct that creativity

2/7 Jupiter Semi Sextile True Node This is a favorable transit for making new lasting and beneficial connections both in love and in business. The most important thing is recognizing the opportunity and taking advantage of it without it just passing you by.

2/11 Mercury Enters Aquarius Mercury is progressive in Aquarius. Under this influence our understanding is enhanced and our perceptions are widened. We are able to better connect the dots around us and we trust our own insights. We are able to communicate out ideas in a way that others can understand much more easily and we give ourselves and our ideas the recognition they deserve. In return we notice that some of the external validation we have been seeking begin to blossom as well.

2/18 Sun Enters Pisces Pisces season is about cleansing, redemption, karmic closure, emotional release, spiritual understanding, and rebirth. Under this influence we can see beneath the surface much more clearly and because of that our hearts are open and fragile. Be mindful nit to become so generous or compassionate that you put yourself into masochistic situations that serve no purpose other than to drain you. Lean into love and avoid turning to escapism in order to continue to deny the revelations you’ve gained about yourself over the last year that you know need some tending, shifting, and changing. Break up your patterns, try new things, and open yourself up to incorporating more spirit into your physical experience. Pisces season brings heavy emotion, romance, revelation, and redemption. The ride can feel like a rollercoaster, but I encourage you to simply lean into the tide and breathe deep. You've got this!

2/23 Saturn semi-square Chiron This aspect brings heavy weight, frustration, and revelation. It may feel like problems are popping up out of nowhere or issues you thought you'd buried begin to resurface. This transit acts as a test of strength, patience, and perseverance. Make sure you pass.

2/26 Jupiter quintile Pluto Reflection of your need for expansion and how it affects your values, motives, and psyche. Are you willing to truly be ruthless, degrading, and detached to fulfill any aims that you feel might require that behavior.

Asteroid Movements

2/3 Ceres retrograde This asteroid represents nurturance and in the sign of Libra it helps us connect to one another on a deeper level. We become more in tune with the needs of the people in our lives and we offer more of ourselves up in order to receive that support in return. In retrograde this energy asks us to heal our hearts, nurture our inner teen, let go of mothers issues and bring balance back to our feelings of insecurity or instability. We also learn a lot about consumerism and materialistic pursuits that mask our pain. We learn to set better boundaries and stop seeking love and attention in all the wrong places.

2/16 Pallas Direct Pallas represents wisdom, wit, how our brains process things, and how we go about making things happen. Here we activate our left brains ad push into logic and reasoning above all else. Pallas shows how we make decisions in relationships, how we navigate new environments, and how we temper our instincts with reason. In Cancer currently and out of retrograde we will find ourselves more emotionally charged. There will be a rise in the underdog winning, and our empathy will be enhanced.

Moons of the Month

2/5 Full Moon in Leo It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course with caution, intention, and care as we aren't looking to hurt anyone w we love while doing so. Another important facet of this moon is the responsible use of power. There is responsible power in expressing your grievances with grace and respect no matter how angry or hurt you may be. Using power responsibly is a life-long challenge that requires great strength to accomplish. Temptations to abuse power are rampant, just look at the world around us. Think about where you need to balance the power struggle of leading vs following; contributing vs inventing, and delegating vs demonstrating. Ask yourself how you can become more open to the process and detach from the outcome so you can manifest the support you need. It is important to let go of toxic relationships they will be illuminated under this influence. Emotional manipulation gaslighting narcissistic tendencies fear of taking risks, toxic isolation, ego death, karmic closure are thing to clean up and cut off before we move back into retrograde and eclipse season in April.

2/13 Last Quarter Moon in Scorpio Its time to go deep and see where your fixed points of perception and action are still holding you back. Let the last of the debris go in preparation for a new beginning at the new moon.

2/20 New Moon in Pisces We need to set intentions to further our imaginations, cultivate inner happiness, embrace our mystic awareness and compassion, release victimhood, and leaning into spiritual healing. This moon will come with a warm, compassionate, cleansing energy opening us up for the manifestations to come as we move into spring. We put our feelers out around us to see what the need is and decide how we can show up to fulfill that need or which need our energies best serve and commit to them.

2/27 1st Quarter Moon in Gemini Here we work on balance and acceptance. We take in new ideas and decide what will help continue to push us towards our motives and let go of the rest.
