In the Stars for February


Sun in Aquarius 
In the Stars for February
The winter season continues with the transiting Sun in the air sign Aquarius. This energy uplifts our spirits to seek higher perspectives and inventive ways of thinking about life. There are no retrograde planets this month, everything is flowing forward. the Sun signs in the last degrees of the fixed signs Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius will receive the last difficult hit from Saturn and Uranus in Taurus for Taurus natives. Venus and Jupiter will benefit the fire signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Mars in Gemini charges the air sign Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius to move forward. Neptune in its own sign Pisces continues to challenge the mutable signs, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces to ground themselves. Pluto is in the critical last degrees of Capricorn where it intensifies the need to break down old orders and create something new when it moves into Aquarius in mid-March 2023.
Aquarius Sun sign people are intelligent looking and always seeking an original way or a different perspective on all things. They appear eccentric, proud, distant, and sometimes dominating as Aquarius is a fixed air positive sign. The symbol of a man pouring water from a vase means that the energy he pours out into the earth is cosmic. That means it’s a symbol of raising consciousness with kinetic energy. In the age of Aquarius, we can do more with energy as we are starting to see technology evolve towards free energy. Aquarius Sun signs are ruled by Saturn and Uranus, this makes for a quick-witted yet discipline nature. They like their freedom to be who they think they are. Most participate in community groups helping others as they tend to think of themselves as humanitarian and fair-minded by nature. But they are a paradox as they can be stubborn, selfish, conceited, tolerant rebellious, erratic, and difficult to understand let alone try to please them. They like to help others but from a distant perch as being impersonal towards their many friends is more comfortable to them. They can be inventive and always tinkering with new ideas which they like to share with others. Happy Birthday, Aquarius, Uranus, and Saturn continue to aspect your Sun. This month,  they are making the last aspects to your Sunlike a last jolt to continue to change your ways and grow.
