February 2009

Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song, brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness:

When the Moon is in the seventh housenand Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then love will rule the planetsnand peace will steer the stars

Jupiter (the planet of luck & expansion) /Mars (the planet of passion)/& the North Node (denoting higher purpose) will be in alignment in Aquarius in February of 2009. n
The entire aspect goes from February 4th-March 4th, but Feb 16th-Feb 17th is the highpoint of this aspect.

The Moon travels through Libra from Feb 12th, 2009 (2:10am)... til' Feb 14th, 2009 (6:50am). This is a good 2 day chunk. Being that Libra is associated with the 7th House of Partnerships & Relationships...our song plays out a little on these days, but the time that seems to reflect the meaning of our song best is actually on February 16th & February 17th... "President's Day" & the day after... (when Jupiter, Mars, & the North Node all exactly conjunct at 9 and 10 degrees of Aquarius). n
On Feb 16th, the Moon will be (in Scorpio) in the 7th House of Partnerships, Relationships, & Balance from 9:18am-10:54am (PST). The epic Aquarian conjunction will simultaneously be happening.
The Aquarian alignment continues into Feb 17th. On that day, the Moon will be (in Sagittarius) in the 7th House from 10:00am-11:35am.

We also have the Sun & Neptune making a conjunction in Aquarius in these days. That conjunction is exact on Feb 12th & 13th, but it lasts throughout the month as well. Neptune here emphasizes universal compassion, collective humanitarian movements, and the co-creation of social justice.

With so many planetary energies in Aquarius, lore would suggest that we may be more in tune with a larger future vision of things. We get to have days of kooky possibility, dreamy vision, & the possibility for transcendental breakthroughs.

Venus in Aries energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity.
Saturn (the great task master) in opposition to Uranus (the unexpected awakener) suggests an ongoing confrontation as we see unsustainable old paradigms reluctantly giving way to the untested hope of the new. Their placement in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.

The last time there were this many planetary energies in Aquarius was in 1962.

In whatever way feels appropriate for you, contribute to energizing a wave of smart creativity & peaceful intention that will surge around the Earth in these days...& Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
