FEBRUARY 2002 by Bob Mulligan

Even though February 2002 is a month with some extremes, it is a lighter month than we have experienced for a while. It is a breather, so to speak. However, there are two competing moods during February 2002 which keep it from being completely peaceful. First, there is the primitive assertive belief that we can just start over and through sheer will make something new happen. This is symbolized by Mars, God of War, now tenanting his own sign Aries. Second, is our wish to acknowledge our true circumstances. This attitude is symbolized by Saturn and Mercury turning direct in each others signs. This is a reality check. Our given circumstances confront our desires. Where we are is in conflict with where we want to be. Progress is only realized when we use our ability to deal realistically about present circumstances.

On the 1st Venus sextiles Pluto. This is a day when our thoughts of love can move us to some higher insights. Correctly used, this sets the stage for a reevaluation of our mistakes and misperceptions. This is shown on the 4th as Mercury (the mental planet) Retrogrades back into Capricorn. Concentration now can lead to helpful practical observations about our lives.

Abrupt changes can free us from difficult circumstances on the 5th as Venus Sesquiquadrates Jupiter. Personal life needs may run counter to our vision of the good for the world. One way or another this clash of objectives comes to a conclusion on the 7th, as the Moon sextiles Venus Uranus conjunction. To be inspired by a new love is perhaps the best use of this urge to begin again. As Saturn is turning direct at this time, we are prompted to act.

On the 8th Mercury turns direct, then parallels Neptune. We have been struggling to keep the faith, and hold on to higher ideals. This is the time when we find strategies to make the vision of higher truth, practical. As it turns out the 9th is a fortunate day if we choose to focus on the right things. New and unusual adventures are favored as Venus parallels Uranus and the Sun sesquiquadrates Jupiter.

We are compelled to act on the 11th as Venus parallels Pluto, Sun parallel Uranus, Mars trine Pluto, and Venus enters Pisces. Great day to get organized and turn over a new leaf. Time spent alone can be quite rewarding now. There is tremendous energy now, but it is best used to address changes in our inner life.

On the 12th at 2:42am, EST, we have a New Moon. This is the time to pray for world peace as the energy is very high. Sun and Moon are in the Sign of Aquarius which rules universal brotherhood.

Our energies and impressions change on the 13th as the Sun conjuncts Uranus and Mercury enters Aquarius. This is the time for looking up and looking forward. An aura of detachment releases us from the emotional energy of the earlier part of the month. Our dominant feeling is that our efforts will make a difference now to change both ourselves and our circumstances.

We focus on our personal lives and romance on the 16th as Venus semi-squares Mars. Also, Venus trines Jupiter now which gives a powerful emotional burst. We feel lucky. It's a good time to see how fortunate we really are.

A somber mood closes in on us on the 18th as Venus Squares Saturn and the Sun enters Pisces. There is a creative spirit growing right now, but it will take some time to come to fulfillment.

Having a cautious eye for detail can carry us far on the 19th as Mars makes a semi-square Saturn and Venus contra-parallels Mars. Get a new strategy for working out the details of relationships. Now is a time to move forward. We find good fortune and pleasantness on the 24th as the Sun trine Jupiter and Mercury conjuncts Neptune. Psychic perceptions are just about as accurate as they get today.

On the 25th Venus Squares Pluto just before the Sun Squares Saturn on the 26th. We are all trying to live our personal lives as major events of the moment intercede. Never before has world events had such a direct conscious impact on the lives of individuals as this last six months. Today demonstrates this connection and conflict between the needs of society and the affairs of individuals.

The energy builds on the 27th as have a Full moon at 4:19 am EST. The cosmic energy assists us to bring our projects to fruition. It is always fruitful to meditate at the time of a Full Moon. We leave the Month on a very high note.
