February Reflections and Forecast
My sincerest gratitude to you, my dear friends and supporters, as I embark on Year Two of my consulting astrology practice!
Around this time last year, I began formally seeing clients for natal chart consultations– after nearly 17 years of on and off astrology deep dives that I stopped surfacing from in 2018– I’ll be in the depths for the rest of my days!
I am incredibly blessed to be sharing my work with folks who are not only receptive, but supportive. I can not possibly share all of the beautiful moments that opening up my practice has facilitated over the last year, so, a brief highlight:
Last fall, a dear friend approached me with the idea of creating an astrological workshop appropriate for a small tech team. Together, we decided that the workshop, held over three sessions, would explore each team member’s approach to their work, based on their natal charts. I called it ‘Bring Your Planets to Work Day’ and focused each session on a different planet: Mars, for how we motivate and get things done, the Sun, for how and where we lead and shine, and Mercury, for how we communicate and process information. It was a great way to explore astrology in a work setting: not overly intimate, yet plenty of space for team-building and connection.
That opportunity gave me the confidence to lead an engaging workshop, which in turn inspired me to present a year ahead forecast at the start of this year, which then led to me becoming the official Sacred Taino Healing astrologer! I am elated that my dear friend, healer, and elder, Akutu Irka, has honored me in this way, giving me a space to share planetary medicine with a community that has truly shaped me and facilitated a deeper connection to my roots, ancestors, people, and beyond human relatives.
Moving forward, you can count on me to release a month ahead forecast in my newsletters and blog. If you would like access to my year ahead forecast, reach out– I am happy to share! My next goal is to get you horoscopes for each sign, but you know nothing beats a personal year ahead reading or natal chart consultation– I am currently booking appointments through March!
A Look at February’s Astrology
The month begins with Luna full in Leo, illuminating a radical impulse to be our most authentic selves, even if it goes against what we think our current social structures will accept. How can we be honest about who we are, take action towards what we truly want for ourselves, and still maintain relational harmony? Mercury’s move into Aquarius on the 11th after a long stint in Capricorn marks a mental shift that can concern us with our social responsibilities and ideological frameworks, perhaps helping us to process and reconcile what the full moon lit up for us.
These are the last days of a three year tension between Saturn and Uranus before Saturn moves into Pisces in March. As a collective, we are reminded of these years of revolution, of the change that was demanded, and the change that was resisted. What has endured? How has society shifted? Where can we still progress and what is yet to be repaired? Look back over the last three years and ask the same of yourself, these next years may bring us the flexibility needed to make enduring progress in areas where we’ve felt blocked.
The middle of the month brings a highly idyllic moment of boundless love and empathy as Venus meets Neptune in Pisces– a time we are lifted into the very heights of our romantic visions. This euphoric energy is tempered when just next door, responsibility and reality are illuminated as Sol meets Saturn. This may feel like bliss in one area of life while another gets a dose of gravity that’s impossible to ignore.
On February 20th, Luna new in Pisces offers us a time to plant the seeds that will allow these to coexist, the vision within the reality. How can we make room in our material lives for the manifestation of our most expansive dreams?
