FEBRUARY 2025 ASTROLOGY NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the month of Februaria whose Latin meaning “to clean” sounds appropriate since all the action of these next four weeks’ will be as a broom februming up in preparation for March, or just call it the world to come.
There’s no mistake that the ancient Roman festivals of purification, cleansing and and atonement have found their way into our current religious practices, Ramadan on the new moon for the Muslims, Ash Wednesday for Christians. All of this was then and is now a traditional way to prepare for the next and the new.
As I’ve had my scope on these next two months for a while, it seems obvious that our NEW is just around the corner. With all the sky gods moving direct, Mars last of all, we’ll finally be able to propel into forward motion, drive over that dead skunk, and possibly make some positive connections.
Going into the DeepSeek (sorry China it’s not about you) of the month’s symbols, patterns and messages, the optimal days will be mentioned while red flags will be put up for a couple of others. Just a reminder as you’re scrolling down, that Astrology at its very least, is a “language of probability” whose historical patterns reflect certain likely happenings back to us.
THOUGHTS ON THIS CYCLE
FEBRUARY 1 – 2nd What a sky sight! And aside from Astronomy’s beautiful planetary chain of lights now in our northern skies, we have another! Astrology outlines the beautiful, even magical connection of Moon,Venus, Neptune and north node so close in Pisces, all of which creates a soul welcoming time for intimate connections. Even more so, I must mention the Piscean influence to the arts, and most of all to the film industry as it’s ruled by Neptune . What great starts and inspirational moments might come out of those green rooms? Or from the mental caves under the deep sea of the subconscious?
Monday the 3d – 9th It all shifts into fire and energy when Venus skirts over into Aries and then jumps into a nice angle with Pluto. Add Mercury to Jupiter and then the Sun and we’ve got Action! I’ll take it. Here I may add another bit of astro info because this historic connection between Neptune and the North lunar node in the very last degrees of Pisces often relates to suffering, and therefore the need for compassion, such as we’ve seen in the previous weeks. We’re not out of this pattern and possibility of weather disturbances quite yet.. Now as hard as that sounds we do have a rather nice piece of sky info in that Saturn and Mars are acting as best frenemies all month! That should bring some good news to many of us. We’ll need that perk for the harder moon days ahead.
February 12th The full Snow Moon at 23 Leo, blazes in opposition to the Sun with Mercury at 23 Aquarius all harshly squared by troublemaker Uranus, ( 5:53am pst). I’m not holding back on this most intense moment of the month when I say that this lunation could set off a shakeup for certain world leaders, power structures and governments. This dramatic full moon also hits our own USA natal Aquarius moon pretty closely. More headlines in dark face over breaking news? On a more personal scale, those with birthdays on the 11-13th of May, August, November and February need to be extremely careful to avoid any possibly fractious situations: skiing, difficult meetings, financial debacles, surgery?
February 12th Is also Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Therefore, given these present day harsh aspects to the chart of our US Constitution’s founding, it seems fitting that I should include his quote from the Gettysburg address. “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.”
February 16 – 22nd Yes, it all continues, Mars’ harsh square to Chiron all month, the so called “wounded healer” doing the opposite. But hold on, a very slight reprieve on the way. Mercury now swims into Pisces, joining fins with Saturn and waving over to Mars. This makes for a peaceful time of the month, something calming in the face of so much chaos and sadness in the world. On a more personal note, those 4 – 9th March, July, and November birthdays should benefit from these smooth currents From mid month on this fire and air bond between Venus and Jupiter exact to our own US genius Uranus, suggests that we might possibly hear about a tech, medical or scientific breakthrough? The oncoming new moon will have something to do with this.
Then for specific charts: Those early Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, ,Sagittarius, Aquarius birthdays should feel some of the “up”, however slight, these next 2 weeks.
February 23 – 28th Mars going direct will increase its impact when moving direct on the 23d. This says a few things, especially with the connection to our own USA chart. No doubt, a truth to power clash of some sort may erupt and will probably set the boardroom table for the month ahead.
This New Moon in Pisces, on the 27th ( 4:45 pm pst) Vedically set in Shatabishak , the “100 Physicians” given over to healing and deep inner knowledge, could be, as was just mentioned, a sky opener into some new information, tech or otherwise. Just as with many new moons, sacred rituals, candles lit and intentions set, this one in particular can open the basement door to our undersides to see how the emotional furniture in there can be rearranged. Pisces, so deeply involved with our hearts and feelings is packed up with 6 of them up there in Neptune’s net, so let it work for you. Even add an amethyst crystal to make it more orchidaceous, February’s favorite shade. Take advantage of this rare moment. Because as I always say, “use astrology and don’t let it use you”.
Oh, the Siren neglected to mention February 14th, so you guys will have to write those Valentines to yourselves. Hearts and flowers to all.
OPPORTUNE DATES: 1,2, 5, 6, 15, 19, 24*, 27, 28*
BIRTHDAYS OF NOTE: The following birthdays are based on the very close degrees of the Sun if closely aspected present month. I don’t generalize on a large swath of 1- 30 dates for which I could never be specific, but Sun Sign astrology can be entertaining and it certainly makes money.
Normally a true birth time will provide an accurate rising sign and degree of the moon. Call these the Three Majors. Then we can begin to talk true astrology. The Sun is still very significant for it represents the soul’s manifestation in the outer world, health issues and then the house position gets even more specific. Vedic astrology is primarily based on the moon, for its quickly shifting degree descriptions and chart dominance. Planet, sign, house, is how we begin.
