COSMIC DAILY WEATHER

February 2020 by Bernadette Evans

Overview

February brings a few different energies to the table. The Sun moves from Aquarius into Pisces as does Mercury. Mercury also goes Retrograde on Feb. 16, and it’s possible there will be some delays or that texts or emails may get lost in cyberspace. Don’t panic and don’t jump to conclusions. Try and keep a cool head to avoid any disagreements. Saturn and Pluto are beginning to separate from each other but it’s slow going. There may still be some unexpected shakeups, but it’s time for a certain situation to change.

Mars enters the sign of Capricorn the same day that Mercury turns retrograde which gives us four planets in Capricorn. There could be authority figures who are pushing their agenda. It could also be a call to you to be an authority in your own life. With Uranus in Taurus, another Earth sign, it could be that projects or other wants are manifesting, but it’s slow going. Patience is required to see it through to the finish line. Venus moves into Aries, which could cause some impulsiveness in relationships; the other planets are either in Water or Earth which feel slower. So, take a breath and say it with me, “Everything happens exactly when it’s supposed to happen.” So be patient and know that all is well.

The Moon takes about 28 days to complete its orbit through the 12 signs, staying approximately two and a half days in each sign. When we say the Moon is Void of Course (VoC), it means the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets before it leaves the sign it’s in. At these times, it can be difficult to get focused and accomplish a task. You may want to relax, meditate or do something where your focus is turned inward. Don’t try and get a new project off the ground when the Moon is Void. If you want to find out more about the Void of Course Moon, check out moontracks.com.
