Metaversal Daily Astrological Forecasts for February 1-8

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3
Today’s Full Moon in Leo helps us release ways of relating
that don’t come from the heart. The Sabian symbol says, “A PAGEANT, WITH ITS SPECTACULAR FLOATS, MOVES ALONG A STREET CROWDED WITH CHEERING PEOPLE…The more or less sensational release of
energies dramatizing the unconscious aspiration of… primitive and
instinctual nature.” The image has a curious resonance with the Sabian symbols for last New
and Full Moons, both of which described collective endeavors as well as
the individual’s prerogative to hold to his or her unique values.
Today’s lunation, in the sign of passion and in aspect to three planets of liberation–Jupiter, Uranus and Eris–goes beyond the terrain of ideals and helps us give the slip to social rituals as we return to our authentic heart center. We can pay a debt, forgive a feud, leave a
group or relationship that doesn’t resonate with our own inner child. Skyscrapers will be renamed cloudsnaggers. We might be confused about our long-term professional goals or about our role in the community now that Mercury and the Sun are both visiting future-minded Aquarius. But the fiery Leo Moon steps up the pace, encouraging us to act on our feelings. Meanwhile, the energy continues to grow until 6:08 pm EST when the dramatic Leo Full Moon reveals how individual needs clash with more global concerns. Awareness is the key to positive change. Giant maple keys will come
spiralling from the sky to cut off the heads of the Evil Ones and delight
the children. A series of dissonant aspects stresses the need for quiet time
so that our actions may arise from clear intent.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4

Moon is VOC in Leo for most of the day, great for laying back
and light fun. It’s a great day to go to a park, do a Full Moon meditation, enjoy a play, a table game, or an oppulent yet relaxed brunch. We’ll do better SAVING potentially tough interactions for Saturday, when aspects are more harmonious.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5
Creativity abounds, with Moon in Virgo opposing surrealistic Neptune
and later Venus, goddess of love and BEAUTY, both in dreamy Pisces.
Virgo Moon’s organizing influence can help us discern a path to ground
our dreams. .Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning. Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped." How can you believe in astrology?," angry, drunken Basque separatists have asked me. I tell them that astrology is not a belief system, but an archetypal, poetic language. I don't ask you if you believe in Japanese. I ask if you speak it. I don't ask you if you believe in music, I ask if you play it. I happen to speak the heavenly tongue of astrology along with thousands of other highly intelligent, inspiring, spiritual and even scientific astrologers. If I never have to deal with angry, drunken Basque separatists who have stolen the Shroud Of Turin again, it'll be too soon. Still, if my destiny is to be an untransformed seed-cum-manure of a man - or to put it another way - if I can at least be the source of unconscious friction that triggers another Christ or Buddha's urgency to awaken, then so be it. Fertilize my ego!It also helps us take hold of the cosmic love vibrations activated by Neptune and Venus in Pisces, and direct them in the
inner work of forgiveness that is one of the Fish’s fortes. It’s a good
day for reviewing feelings and untying knots of blame that we may discover,
and for taking a practical step to act on this inspiration.


FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. The Day of Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one. Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today.
The past encounters the future. Jupiter, planet of progress, makes its
annual opposition to the Sun, orb of purpose, opening a WINDOW to empower
our vision. Since Jupiter and Mercury are both retrograde, this is more
about reconnection with previous inclinations than inventing something
entirely new. Also, Jupiter rules Saturn, planet of traditions, now in
Sagittarius, a sign under Jupiter´s rule. This combination helps us get
on course with whatever is our personal magnetic North, the song with
which we contribute to the collective symphony, a tune we may be
singing now, or more likely we dreamt of or entoned it in the past.
The organizational aptitudes of Moon in Virgo make this morning worth
rising early for, since it helps us go beyond the dream and make headway
with practical steps we take before Moon goes VOC at 2:09 PM (5:09 ET),
on an opposition to Mars in Pisces that can make for sexy afternoon or
evening as long as we avoid getting weepy or picky and mixing drinking
with driving.


SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7
This morning there’s harmony in the air and air in the harmony, as Moon in Libra trines Mercury in Aquarius, helping us give a special touch to our communications and making for a pleasant encounter with friends or a memorable visit to the library or bookstore. Connections this afternoon can be both PRODUCTIVE and rewarding as Moon in Libra, sign of love and partnership, harmonizes with Saturn the builder and connects with Mr. Deep, Pluto.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8
Moon in Libra makes for a morning of shared pleasures,
tidying up or reading. The Moon in balanced Libra today feels
like being social. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made
and balance is sought between others and oneself.
On the World scale Libra is between 400 and 1100 AD, when division of
the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a featherAfternoon aspects to outer planets along with Chiron the healer and Venus, goddess of beauty, enrich the results of our creative efforts and those we APPLY
to healing ourselves and our relationships to people, money and the
sacred feminine.
