Predictions

February, although not a particularly dramatic month, is quite feisty with plenty of squares and inharmonious alignments. It is likely, therefore, that we might begin the month feeling a bit edgy unless we make time to get in touch with our feelings and work through them.

As the world comes out of a defining year of consciousness, this month reveals some important clues as to which way the wheel turned from last year. Turmoil, terror, and tempestuous childish resistance seem to be the reactions of the established but faltering manipulators of the night.

February 2016 is a powerful bridge of energy between past and future, before and after, old and new. This is an opportunity to let go of old emotional fears, attachments, limitations, and choices that no longer serve the individual or the collective.

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”

Jupiter, the planet of benevolence and expansion, makes its visit in Virgo from August 2015 through September 2016. There is also a plus-three-months influence at the end of a Jupiter transit, so the energy of Jupiter in Virgo runs straight through 2016.
