February 2023 Predictions

We are cautioned to go with the flow this month; “bend, adapt, and acknowledge that change and uncertainty are inevitable”, and in this approach the “birthing process will be much easier, as we’re in times of chaos and breakdown, and the more we resist, the more the things we’re fighting persists. This Taoist philosophy will be important during the first week of February, which could bring increasing chaos, disturbances, and uncertainty due to the Sun squaring Uranus in Taurus; this is then heightened by the full moon in Leo on Feb 5th, which will be an unpredictable full moon with erratic energies that could easily knock us off balance. The immediate task is to be our authentic selves unshackled by limitations, such as the opinions of others, or our roles that have become stifling.” Aquarians & Taureans may feel these energies more profoundly; “Taurus folks who are fixed earth signs, like to keep things as they are”. That approach isn’t going to work well, as “these planets are calling for creative change, innovation, and breaking of restrictive or outworn patterns”. Sometimes when we’re stuck in old patterns, and unconsciously want change, we might be likely to have small breakdowns, accidents, sudden separations, that jolt us into different courses of action. This first week might find us needing some freedom from our rut, but if our life feels too scattered, “the best antidote is to ground yourself and slow the pace”, and “to soothe our frayed spirit, we might spend more time in nature, work with our hands, practice yoga or tai chi to root ourselves to the earth”, and to take up a daily meditation practice. (Avoid being dragged down into the collective, by staying on the path of higher awareness & connecting to Source.)

The second & third weeks of Feb will find us digging deeper for purpose & meaning. Mercury conjuncts Pluto, Venus conjuncts Neptune, and Saturn conjuncts the Sun; these simultaneous planetary pairings are powerful energetic urges for us to get on with the necessary internal changes we need to evince. The energetics of Mercury with Pluto, “on the mental plane, urges us to dig deeper and do research on topics of interest; it’s good for psychoanalysis, delving into matters of of the psyche and soul; and favors the interpretation of dreams and unearthing our shadow aspects of our personality”. Integrating our shadow, as opposed to projecting our shadow sides onto others, is an important part of our life’s work; important to our beneficial relationships with others. “Pluto shines a light into our unconscious minds, asking that we acknowledge what we find uncomfortable within ourselves”: so if we’re experiencing some extremes in our relationships this month, let’s take a deeper look, and acknowledge and accept the parts of ourselves that we deem negative; examine those ‘bad’ traits or aspects, and work with them in a way that allows integration, making ourselves whole. “So much of the darkness currently playing out in the world is necessary for the ascension process; we can’t ascend while carrying emotional gunk, so we are all being forced to face our less-than-desirable aspects and bring them into the light. We can be aware of and lovingly accept these parts of ourselves. It might help if we consider the seven deadly sins — anger, gluttony, lust, sloth, pride, envy and greed — and pick the ones that we feel best represents our shadow. Then we can work with it in a way that enlarges our consciousness. Does this sin have a positive side? Can we learn from it? What is it secretly hiding? Can we make this ‘sin’ into a personality and give it a name? Can we dialogue with it, asking what it really wants?”

If the Mercury-Pluto conjunction reveals 3-D darkness, then the Venus-Neptune conjunction elevates us into 5D light. So if we’ve done our work with the Mercury-Pluto energies, we will be ready to experience a much more refined and beautiful vibration with Venus-Neptune frequencies. Here is where we can access the spiritual planes with ease; our unconscious nightmares and dark elements can be replaced by dreams & visions of aesthetic beauty and higher elements of love.” Artists of all kinds will especially enjoy this energy, “which results in our ability to access higher realms through love, art, beauty, or spiritual connections, including synchronicity and inspirational insights and messages”.

Running concurrently with the other two conjunctions is the Saturn-Sun conjunction, which is all about “feet on the ground practical realism”. Saturn is the task-master, and combined with the Sun energy “puts its nose to the grindstone and gets on with it”. This is a fruitful energetic-combination “to make progress in the material world, through employment, practical jobs, financial matters, home tasks, or anything else that implies work, responsibility and duty”. Though it is a helpful pairing, some will find it uncomfortable, but more of us “will feel the Saturn-Sun vibration than the influence of Venus-Neptune, because the Sun is central to everything and carries a lot of power. Saturn governs karma; we must pay our dues and balance the books, so the main theme this month could have karmic roots.”

We might feel pressured to be more disciplined & responsible, to get more done, “make a commitment, or to persevere with something that is our duty to create, experience or provide”. Whichever of these planetary conjunctions affect us most will be determined by: “our personal birth chart, the location of our individual soul’s evolutionary journey, and what we each need to learn and experience.” Make the most of February’s frequencies for growth, and know that whatever lessons were presented, they were exactly what we needed to work on. So let us embrace the spirit of flowing with the incredible changes that are upon us this month, making the most of all we face.

There’s a full moon on Feb 5th, in Leo at 10:30 a.m (PT), squaring Uranus in Taurus, “which will signal the complete portal opening that will facilitate the invocation or dismissal of people, beings, spirits, energies, and entities as guided by one’s soul-heart and inner-truth center. Great expansion and healing of ancient soul-wounds is possible before, during and after this full moon. With this emotional bridge between worlds, some may choose to depart their 3D home and move on to new beginnings elsewhere. With Neptune in Pisces sextile Mercury and Pluto, the power of the spoken or written word will be enhanced, bringing about 3D manifestation of desires aligned with one’s soul-heart and spirit. There is a new moon on Feb 19 in very early Pisces, trines the Moon’s south node, signaling an opportunity to build in present space-time the transformed dreams from the ancient past.”

“Guidance from the Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine will speak directly to all beings in all kingdoms, dimensions and timelines throughout the cosmos, and these communications will flow in visions, apparitions, dreams (waking & sleeping), meditations & symbols. These communications will speak of new directions, alternative options and paths, and challenges yet to be faced, individually and collectively. February is a time out of time, a portal, a threshold. Some will choose to cross over in body, and others in spirit. Various pathways and directions will be presented, some flowing with few challenges, and others with intense challenges for those seeking the type of soul growth due to their beliefs, fears, or attachments. February is a time of great remembering — bringing to the surface all manner of flashbacks designed to elicit alternative responses no longer based in fear or lack — so that souls can be freed from their self-imposed prisons. For those totally resistant to these intense shifting and harmonizing vibrations, the square between Mercury, Uranus, and Vulcanus will initiate sudden and disruptive shifts and changes that appear to come from outside sources when in actuality the individual soul-heart is seeking to find harmony within itself, its life, and the soul-path in its soul-heart destiny. A grand water trine between the Moon’s south node in Scorpio, Venus in Pisces, and Kronos & Hades in Cancer will bring significant and powerful individual and collective emotions to the surface, many deep-seated and ancient.”

“With the Sun in Aquarius, almost on the Aquarian point of avatar, trine Mars in Gemini and Mercury in Capricorn, and trine Uranus in Taurus on the Taurus point of avatar, February is a pivotal shift and direction, energy-wise, for Earth and all upon her. Those who align with the incoming direction of energies facilitating greater possibilities and creative endeavors in mind, body and spirit will discover a plethora of paths continually opening throughout 2023. The light of truth harmoniously shines for all to see if they are willing to remove their blinders. Clear expression and communication about what changes are necessary to move into these life-supporting and loving energies with the planet — wherever one resides — will be shared with clear, concise, and loving compassion. Portals and seemingly magical opportunities will appear for these shifts and changes to take place, all within the scope of appreciation, gratitude, and balanced reciprocity.”

“Only be being in the present moment is it possible to receive the tonings, vibrations, and energies that can align and rebalance one with the energies of the present moving into the future. With Venus and Neptune conjunct in late Pisces influencing this new moon, only those with the desire to cross the chasm of fear (false energies appearing real) created outside the cosmic order will be assisted in doing so with an inner knowing, letting go of confusion and cloudiness of the past by following their soul-heart destinies. The New Earth and new humanity are being born this day, a rebirth awaited for eons.”

We are combining what we’ve learned from lower-dimensional experiences, and allowing old mindsets & judgments to fall away, as we integrate the higher realm energies that are part of the downloads we’re continually receiving. We can choose to connect with our higher self, guides and angels, as we co-create everyday, tuning into our intuition, discernment and wisdom. Just Ask; our guides are always there awaiting our requests of them. EnJOY the higher vibration connections open to us all. Divine Spirit is our personal Comforter, just connect to the ultimate power source, and let the fears & unforgiveness fall away.
