Dear Taurus, you’ll be
pleased to hear that Jupiter in your house of self has started moving forward
again at the end of January, now making its way rapidly towards your solar second
house of finances which it enters in the summer. Jupiter is said to bring expansion
to whatever he touches and in your case, as Jupiter entered your 1st
house last summer, you may have felt like you are going through a phase of transformation
and rebirth. For Taureans, Jupiter is not the easiest planet to handle as it
rules your solar 8th house of death and rebirth. Maybe you had to
deal with some deeper psychological questions more than usual and it maybe you
faced some sort of a crisis or it was a time of social transformation – all of which
could have happened quite suddenly. Nevertheless, this is also a very productive
placement but also one connected to secrets. In any case, it was probably a cycle
of deep inner transformation of yourself which was in all likelihood also connected
to your partnerships, despite all the promises Jupiter usually holds.
So for you, February will be split into two halves. At the beginning of the month, your mind is still focused on far-away places, expanding your horizons through travel, education, religion or spirituality. Your solar 9th house is still hosting the Sun, Mercury and Venus until about mid-month after which the energy shifts into your 10th house of life direction and career. Until then, you are most likely to be planning your summer holidays or maybe you’ll be on a plane at this time to top up your Vitamin D levels in some sunnier and warmer climate. You could also decide to sign up for a course which further down the line helps you increase your bank balance – and we know how much Taureans like a full bank account. You’ll have good opportunities to do so later on in the year. In any case, whatever your plans for February are, in all likelihood, they will broaden your mind and maybe even restore some faith and strengthen your beliefs.
The new Moon falls on 10th February in Capricorn and impacts your house of travels and higher education. In Indian astrology, this new Moon which falls into in the nakshatra (one of the 27 or 28 lunar mansions in the Indian horoscope) of Uttara Ashadha. This basically translates as ‘later victory’ and is ruled by the Sun. The main motivation with a new Moon in this nakshatra is spiritual liberation. But Uttara Ashadha is also competitive and pushes us to attain great achievements. So, it seems that if you manage to get away, it will be hugely beneficial for you. This can also be in the form of simply letting new people into your life, from different background that put an idea in your head or maybe just help you look at something from a different perspective.
As this new Moon is so close to an angle in your chart, I’m tempted to talk about new beginnings not just the area of travels and your higher mind but also in your profession and life direction. This is the other big focus this month, one that is already felt at the beginning of February, but in particular after mid-month. It is not often that so many planets gather in one sign so the emphasis on your solar 10th house of career is enormous. You also have Saturn in your house of daily routines including work and fitness in a supportive trine and Jupiter in your house of self in a square, so you almost can’t get away from focusing on what you really want to do in life. I’d imagine that you feel like something really needs to change and with all this Aquarian energy going on, you might feel as though it’s finally time to go it alone when it comes to your career. Or you may just want to have more independence and responsibility in your job. Alternatively, you could also find yourself being rewarded and recognised for a job well done and the promotion you’ve been working towards is yours for the taking.
If you are single and looking, then February is the month when you could meet someone at or through work – someone who very much has his own mind and maybe even has an eccentric side to him or her.
In February, we have an important configuration building up called The Yod or The Finger of God. This will be exact in March 2013 and will affect us all but can already be felt this month. This Yod configuration has two planets, Pluto and Saturn, in a sextile – which means they are in harmony and the focal planet, Jupiter, is in a quincunx. This means that Pluto and Saturn, the other two planets in the Yod, are completely incompatible, sharing neither gender (masculine/assertive or feminine/receptive), element (fire, water, air, or earth), or modality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable). This Yod shines its light across your solar 1st, 6th and 8th houses, activating either a powerful conduit of energy, or a deeply-felt block, in the direction of the quincunxed planet – which is Jupiter in your house of self. The Yod is said to have the potential to trigger major events in someone’s life and if you are facing challenges in these areas, the best way to achieve a positive result is through adaptation and at least considering new paths. It may take great initiative and fortitude to overcome the limitations created by the Yod, but great rewards and gains can be the result. It kind of feels as though your urge to transform (maybe it not even that voluntary, Taureans are not the most adaptable of sign to change) is at odds with your daily routines or health as well as demands of a financial nature, including your partners resources. I’d be interested to get your thoughts on how this time period affects you.
As the month goes on, things are then slowing down a little as two planets are going retrograde. Saturn starts moving backwards from 18th February until 8th July 2013, and Mercury goes retrograde from 24th February until 18th March 2013. Mercury in your 10th house means that although you are now in the spotlight in your job, there may suddenly be something that not completely takes the shine away from the situation but some details of a project may need to be reworked or a project suddenly stalls that makes everyone throws their arms in the air and it’s back to the drawing board. In the end, you may be glad for this slight period of delay as details you were not aware of before emerge over this three week period.
Saturn is in your 6th house of health and work for the next two years means that you now have to focus on what was neglected in these areas in the past. So, initially, the pressure in the areas of work, habits and health may have been felt quite keenly. You’ve by now realised or at the very least you have some idea of what needs to change, get sorted out or eliminated. This will be one of your task over the coming months, however, with all the focus on your 10th house, it is likely to mainly affect how and where you’ll earn your money in the future.
But apart from that, it is also a good time for starting new health regimens to improve your wellbeing. By the end of the retrograde period, you are likely to be yet a little bit more productive, focused and healthier – in the sense of having recognised and addressed your health issues, if these manifested.
The month then ends with the full Moon on 25th February in your house of home puts the spotlight on your living environment as well as your career. Decisions will need to be made or made for you around this time – maybe those you’ve been waiting for, for some time.
