February 2024: Seeking a Better Future
February begins with the impetus to evaluate and clear space in our lives for new beginnings. There is a strong influence of sorting out what works and what needs changing, or adapting, to get the best and most benefit from what we already have.
Welcome to the New Year of 2024
There is a sense of closure in many respects. Mercury enters Capricorn on Saturday, January 13 just before the Moon enters Pisces to join with Saturn, stimulating dialogue about how things might shift over the coming year. If this weekend is social, it is likely conversation will drift toward everyone’s ideas of possibilities. This is an excellent time to collaborate with neighbors and friends in pulling collective ideas and wishes together in thinking about a sustainable future of self-reliance and networking resources.
The Holidays and Making the Best of It
December blends the themes of Sagittarius: gregarious and inclusive, with Capricorn: protective and exclusive. The end of the year gives us pause to remember what has been accomplished and what has been lost or sacrificed. There is an undertone of intensity in relationships with Venus’s transiting through Scorpio this month. Scorpio is the sign of detriment for Venus, in the Sign ruled by Mars, who is now in Sagittarius.
Watch Out for Saturn in Pisces
The symbolism of Pisces is two fish attached but swimming in opposite directions. This illustrates how two contradicting themes can be present at the same time.
Pisces is a sign with a reputation for vague communication, slack terminology, fuzzy thinking, propaganda, imagination, dreamy thinking, distortions, suggestive rather than factual verbiage, “gas-lighting.” These are examples of lower vibrations of the Pisces themes. The higher themes of Pisces are of Peace, Love, and Selflessness in service to those in need.
Scorpio Season: Time to Plan for Contingencies
November is Scorpio season. A century ago, this was a time for preparation and preservation. Our society no longer times activities based on agriculture and farming. We think about sport seasons and things important to a society focused on seasonal entertainment. This year, we might want to think more about how we sustain ourselves and take less for granted.
The Season of Political Drama
The shift in Pluto’s direction will be a tipping point of decisions that will bring a flood of disclosures from investigations that bring a change of perspective on issues of power, influence, control, domination of ideas, and the trickle-down effect caused by the involvement by giant corporations and through power collusion among leaders, all Pluto ideas.
Hawaii’s New Challenge to Old Cultures
Hawaii and the Maui Wildfire aftermath is our local focus of attention…,
The tone of the message from government authorities leans toward sympathetic and attentiveness to the problems and the needs of people in distress. While, aside from those statements, there are legislative actions occurring “quietly” that may compromise the rights of the Hawaiian people to hold onto their lands and the reverent recognition of their cultural traditions.
