February 2012 Astro Forecast

It’s time to put our fingers into the wind and see what planetary weather is like for February.  

     We start the month with slow-moving Neptune entering Pisces on February 3rd, where it will remain until 2026. Neptune, aka Poseidon in the Greek myths, rules oceans, so I expect we’ll hear a lot about our waters  — water rights, rising sea levels, water-related natural disasters — over the next fourteen years. Given that a common epithet for Neptune was “Earth-Shaker” – a strike of his trident could create a spring as well as drown a ship – earthquakes may be on the rise as well.

     Pisces, the fish, is also connected to unfathomable deeps, underscoring this watery theme. It speaks to dissolving boundaries, metaphorical or literal; an innate awareness of wholeness and interconnectedness; and compassion, in particular a desire to help those it feels are disempowered. The Spiritualist Movement began during the last pass of Neptune through Pisces in the mid-19^th Century, and we should again see renewed explorations into consciousness and its boundaries, with a strong spiritual leaning, during this new transit. Other boundary-dissolving movements and revelations which appeared during Neptune’s last trek through Pisces include Darwin’s On the Origins of Species (unifying the life sciences through the theory of evolution), the suffragist and abolitionist movements (offering equality and empowerment for the oppressed), and the Communist Manifesto (announcing Marx’s dream of a classless society).

     February 7^th brings a full moon across the signs of Leo and Aquarius, asking us weigh our needs as an individual against those of our community to determine if we have the right balance. Is our subjective world (what makes me happy, where do I find my joy) aligned with our objective world (what is equitable, where do I contribute)? Read Full Forecast>>>

 Aromatherapy Spotlight:  "Ylang Ylang Oil"

     With Valentine's on the way, you may want to bring this oil home!  Although frequently used as an aphrodisiac, the ancients treasured this oil for its medicinal value of improving circulatory heart, balancing the heart, stimulating hair growth and fighting off infection.  Ylang Ylang is very effective when combined with other citrus or flower family oils.

* To use as an aphrodisiac, use 2-3 drops in a diffuser or 8-10 drops in bath water. You may also add several drops to unscented lotion or oil and massage a loved one!

* To stimulate hair growth, mix with a carrier oil such as coconut or almond oil and massage into scalp.  Let the oil soakinto your scalp for 1/2 hour and then shampoo as usual.

* To relieve anxiety, panic attacks, shock and circulatory issues, use 2-3 drops in a diffuser or 8-10 drops in bath water.
