Virgo, for you,
February is all about romance. Springs starts early for you (if you live in the
Northern Hemisphere) and as the month begins, you are carrying over that
flirtatious mood and an open heart from last month. Jupiter has started to move
forward again, opening your mind and asking you to broaden your horizons. While
this may make you want to look into holidaying in far-flung places, I think
that with this desire also comes the kind of openness you need to let new
people into your life and if you are single and looking, this transit, together
with all the planets crammed into your house children, creativity and true
love, can bring a new love interest into your life. Jupiter is in a supportive
trine to your 5th house and your Sun, Ascendant and Moon sign now
until the summer and with Uranus, the planet of sudden developments, in your 7th
house of committed relationships, new liaisons can come your way quite suddenly.
This may be quite exciting for you and this person could be quite different
from what you’ve seen and known before – maybe someone with a completely
different outlook and cultural background to yours. Don’t knock it, you’re
meant to be with people that bring something unusual to your life now.
However, when it comes to business partnerships, these transits can often be viewed as disruptive influences so the best thing to do is to think about what each of you contributes to the union and ensure that there are some rules in place. Uranus makes you more independent – or your partner – so there is also a tendency to want to go it all alone.
The new Moon on 10th February in Capricorn also affects your house of romance. 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. For you Virgo, this could be a fresh start for you in your love life. The effects of the new Moon are seen nine months later and with Jupiter in such a supportive angle, this could also relate to children! You can figure out what that means...!
In February and beyond, Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in an important configuration which will affect us all building up called The Yod or The Finger of God. This will be exact in March 2013 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) with the third planet, Jupiter. This Yod pulls its weight across your solar 2nd, 4th and 9th 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 far-away places, beliefs, faith, higher education and the law.
The Yod is said to have the potential to trigger major events in someone’s life. It could be that finances and property matters, your home and your emotions are at odds with your wish to get away for a little while.
A shift then takes place after mid-month and while you were previously so focused on your love life, your work and / or health routines now take over and require some attention. It does not happen often that so many planets – Venus, Neptune, Sun, Mercury, Mars and Chiron and the Moon – gather in one sign so there may be changes in your work or health routine. Perhaps it is you who is making the changes in this area but it could also be the case that you’re handed a new work project or you are required to change your diet.
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. With so much energy around your work routines – not necessarily your career as such - how you earn your money and how much is under the spotlight now for the next 2 years. With Saturn in your 2nd house of income, what you have available may be somewhat restricted or you feel like there is never enough. Your financial situation is going through some transformation, potentially connected to property and from February, you are asked to seriously review your finances and how you deal with them. Perhaps now is the time to start saving for a new home or our existing property requires a face lift. The purpose of this transit is that in the end, you should emerge with your financial situation in a better shape than before.
The month then ends with the full Moon on 25th February in your house of work and health routines and you may look in the mirror and decide to start with that exercise programme or you may feel like telling your boss what you really think about him – not a great idea but the urge may there, you were warned!
A month of two halves, so enjoy that beautiful earth trine in the first part of February that supports your endeavours.
