During the last days of the month events may come thick and fast, and technical glitches may accumulate. In general there is an increased risk of accidents. Plan flexibly and avoid actions taken on impulse. On 28 February Mercury and Venus conjoin in Pisces, creating a strong counterpoint to this restless quality of time. Meditation, listening to your inner voice or deliberate exchange with kindred spirits can now become a safe haven in stormy times. www.astro.com -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Photo of an alert deer taken by Valerie Miller from her office in Ridge, NY, for which she received an award from her company in 2015.

To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a note to: [email protected] -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- From the Astrodienst February newsletter: In the middle of the month the quality of time changes markedly. The major astrological events of the coming days announce strong and profound impulses for transformation, comparable to a final collective step over a threshold. On 14 February Saturn moves into Aries, where it will remain until April 2028. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, symbolises the initial impulse, the spring force that makes the seed sprout. The limiting force of Saturn resists these growth impulses. This requires you to direct your energies consciously and use them sensibly. During this phase open conflicts may occur more frequently. Be prepared to stand up for yourself. On 16 February the Sun squares Uranus and Mercury forms a trine with Jupiter, followed by the Aquarius New Moon with a simultaneous solar eclipse on 17 February. On 18 February the Sun enters Pisces. Expect the unexpected during these days. Anything no longer fit for the future can now suddenly disappear. The focus is on networks, technological developments and communal structures. Affiliations must be examined critically and, if necessary, new alliances formed. The seeds planted now have long-term consequences. Be courageous and set your own personal impulses. Three days after the solar eclipse, on 20 February, the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at the first degree of Aries becomes exact. Now it will become clear who possesses viable visions along with the will and power to manifest them. Where willpower is completely lacking, things are quickly thrown off balance, even up to the sudden collapse of social structures whose legitimacy is based on shared effort. The quality of time is extremely ambivalent; daily energy swings between a joyful mood of departure and deep fatigue. In both cases the call is to keep your centre and to be fully aware of the collective step across this threshold. On 22 February Venus in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer. This harmonious configuration brings loving and friendly feelings that are certainly welcome in this atmosphere of new beginnings. On 26 February Mercury turns retrograde. Agreements and contracts now require caution. Make sure your communication is clear. The square between Mars in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus on 27 February brings considerable restlessness. During the last days of the month events may come thick and fast, and technical glitches may accumulate. In general there is an increased risk of accidents. Plan flexibly and avoid actions taken on impulse. On 28 February Mercury and Venus conjoin in Pisces, creating a strong counterpoint to this restless quality of time. Meditation, listening to your inner voice or deliberate exchange with kindred spirits can now become a safe haven in stormy times. www.astro.com -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Mood piece from Centereach; photo copyright © by Valerie Miller.

To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a note to: [email protected] --------------------------------------  -------------------------------------- From the Astrodienst monthly newsletter: The quality of time in February is intense, charged and unpredictable. This month registers several major astrological events: Saturn enters Aries, a solar eclipse occurs in Aquarius, and Saturn conjoins Neptune in Aries. We can expect much restlessness, chaotic developments and sudden turns. Grand designs and personal visions must be tested for their day-to-day viability. During the first third of the month Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Venus and Mercury form a powerful stellium in Aquarius. Expect many new ideas and impulses that affect community life and our concepts of freedom. Prepare for surprising developments and unexpected moves. On 4 February Uranus in Taurus ends its retrograde phase. Stalled developments pick up speed again, sometimes in unexpected ways. Mercury squares Uranus on 5 February. Be ready for surprising information that invites speculation. Some people enjoy welcome flashes of inspiration, others may feel mentally overloaded. However, this nervous tension is only brief, because Mercury enters Pisces on 6 February. The tingling clarity then turns into a more intuitive, dreamy mood. Venus reaches the square to Uranus on 8 February, awakening curiosity and a great joy in new impulses. This may lead to problems in relationships that have become too rigid. Clarify which freedoms you need. It is a good time to give a stale connection a constructive boost. On 10 February Venus enters Pisces. This phase is ideal for deep reconciliation and offers chances for romantic experiences and gentle contact. https://www.astro.com -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary |
