KEYWORDS: Freedom to transform

The Forecast Aquarius February 2012

Happy Birthday Aquarius. May the year ahead be spectacular, and the first of many happy returns. With birthday energy on your side, you are in a position of influence again.

Two main themes occupy your sign at this time. The first is the imminent departure of Neptune from your sign. In the days leading up to Feb 4th, think about all the ways that you have become more attuned, enlightened and service-oriented through the past 14 years. Spend some time contemplating what your perfect world would look like, and what practical measures would be required in order to get you there.  

The other theme relates to Uranus and the theme of independence, or freedom to live your own life. Uranus in Aries is sextile the New Moon and freedom is a theme worth discussing right now. What do you require to feel free and alive? Is it a broadening world of hope and possibility, or is the relinquishment of any emotional ties? Do you have the space around to be who you are, or are you making a futile but noble effort to conform to someone else’s idea of life? However it goes, your birthday month brings the light of liberty to mind. Think about questions of courage and where you would be if living a life without confines.

The New Moon in Aquarius falls on the Pluto/Neptune midpoint. Astrological wisdom says that this is an ideal moment to transform “your life to shortcut, alter or otherwise change existing patterns of personal growth”. Aries energy says forge ahead, and be prepared to do this on your own. Whether you feel supported or not, the cosmos is helping you out. Let this month be the start of your year and the beginning of the rest of your life.
