Astrology is a science that calculates the movement and cycles of the planets in their orbits using the art of interpretation as to the effects these cycles have in our lives.
Each month we have a New Moon when the Sun and Moon join one another. This is a time to begin to create something new. Then six months later this energy will reach the stage of a Full Moon when the Sun and Moon are at opposite signs of the zodiac revealing the outcome of the effects of our actions taken from the energy of the previous New Moon of this cycle.
Every month we have the opportunity to begin anew in creating what we desire in our lives. Each month there are different areas of our lives that are highlighted for these new changes. Dictated by the sign the New Moon is in and the house placement in your natal Astrology chart where this conjunction occurs. Then each month when we have a Full Moon we are given a report card or view of how our actions have worked out and what we accomplished in another area of our lives that was begun six months earlier.
Some individuals cannot remember what they did yesterday let alone six months ago, so this could have some bearing on why we seem to notice so many individuals acting bizarre or outrageous during the Full Moon cycles. Guess you could say they are simply not happy with what the outcome is with what they created in their lives the past six months.
Full Moon in Leo February 2 is the time to look into the Northwest room of your home or office. Do you like what you see? This area represents the condition your life has gotten into. Is it neat, organized and functional or an area that has been neglected and piled with debris? Have you put time, money or effort in the past 6 months into this area of your life? Or are you looking for results without any personal effort or commitment?
This Full Moon February 2 is involved in a YOD (The finger of God) creating in each of us our own inner feeling of discontent. A time when it seems as if the timing is off or the circumstances are just not cooperating with what we wish were happening. Often this is caused by unpredictable outside influences that we have no control in. Yet we are being held responsible. Leaving us to fall prey to our inner insecurities. Our saving grace is the fact that this YOD is being caused by the Full Moon which means the answer lies in the Aquarius energy of the opposing Sun. Remember who you are and what you want. Stay focused. You are a Unique individual that has many gifts, talents and abilities that are yours alone. Your dream, your desires are just that, yours. And so the responsibility does lie within you to make these a reality. Are you surrounding yourself with those of like mind and ambitions? Do you direct your energy in a way that the out come is what you are looking for? Or are you forgetting that important lesson of to thy own self be true. If changes are needed then look within yourself at your own way of being to discover what stumbling blocks lie in your path. As this energy is show casing long over due rituals or habits that need revision.

Overview 2
Mercury goes Retrograde February 13 just hours before the day of hearts, flowers and cupids arrows: Valentine's Day. No time or holiday is good timing for relationship problems or breakups. But this Valentine's Day comes fully loaded with everything that could happen will to sabotage the strongest of unions. And if you are involved in relationships that are standing on shaky ground to begin with. BEWARE!
Mercury Retrograde is a time for reflection, insight, cleaning up long over due projects, closets, and messy files. Not a good time to purchase the big-ticket items like a home, car, computers, stereo equipment, etc. As they often end up to be money pits, mechanics dreams, virus beacons and just plain lemons. So, if you must, keep your receipts, put escape clauses in your contracts and expect Murphy's Law to be the name of the game.
But this Valentine's special is all about that personal inner level of fear that only you truly know about. That area where you become a victim! Where you fail to define your perimeters and protect them. Let it be simply the inability to say no to a loved one, a friend, employer or self who exploits.
Do you remember the last six months of 2003 when Mars went retrograde at 10 degrees of Pisces?
We were all being shown our areas of victimization. It was a time each of us was given to name our enemy. In whatever disguise it chose to attack us: finances, relationships, alcohol, drugs, lies, deception, physical or mental abuse, our diets, health, the means are endless. But personal victimization was the key. The goal was to become aware and make the changes necessary to protect us from this demon. To no longer be a victim.
Then Uranus went retrograde at 10 degrees of Pisces in 2005 from June through November. Do you remember what you were experiencing then? Like DUI check points, it chose its victims at random. But the under lying issue was always the same. Your reaction to what causes you to be a victim was being tested to see if the changes were real and reactions were different.
Here now is test number 3, Mercury Retrograde at 10 degrees of Pisces. Mars and Venus are in signs of their exaltation as they Sextile one another creating harmonious energy for personal opportunities. But they are both aligned in the Quincunx with Saturn Retrograde creating a "Yod" or Finger of God. This Aspect has a humbling effect that naturally creates energy of questioning and feeling inferior. It is an Aspect to be found in the charts of those who are in constant search of answers. Those that experience events that cause life changes that create a new life path.
Again we will experience those scenarios that will bring out the victim issues in each of us in the weeks of Mercury's retrograde. Some of us may find the third time is the charm. It is a time of making a personal commitment to protect the inner child (Saturn Retrograde in Leo) as we use right action (Mars in Capricorn) with the personal desire and dream (Venus in Pisces) to take the opportunities presented (Sextile Aspect) to be all that we can be. (YOD).
