This is an important time for you, Sagittarius, and a good opportunity to be getting spiritually more centered. It is also likely a confusing one as well, when many of your old approaches are no longer working and yet when new potential ways of being in the world are only just being born. Partnership is very much up for you right now, as you concentrate on adopting an attitude toward significant others and your relationship dynamics in general that makes for a closer match with soul-purpose. This is a period of transition – difficult in the sense that worn out patterns that no longer serve you are being peeled away. This is indeed a painful time, and yet in another way of retelling the story, your days are suffused with light.
As the month begins, you are still taking in the information and the feelings that came to you over the last weekend of the previous month, when the Full Moon reigned in your sector of higher mind and strongly aspected your ruler, Jupiter, in your solar house of partnership connection. This month in fact represents a time of deep exploration of what your relationship dynamic might actually consist of, and what it could become. It is also a time when you will be digging into the necessary inner work that supports a better understanding of yourself at all levels.
The Pisces line-up of planets coming on this month well represents this sense of expanded inner presence, since it occupies your sector of home and family. Your physical home environment may be eclectic now, and subject to increase and renovation. You also might be forging stronger links with those members of your inner circle that are important in determining your own sense of self, and of psychological security. This is true be they actual family or the collection of close friends and tribal alliances that supplement that original sense of community and soul connection.
There is profound energy in these contacts, which on a symbolic level also represent connections within your psyche. The knowledge gained as you connect the dots within yourself and with respect to close family members is a different sort of awareness than mere logic can supply, and comes to you as almost a waking dream. It is helpful to pay the closest possible attention to this very different kind of information and to try to avoid the mental conditioning from the linear culture that you have grown up with, preferring instead to remain as open as you can to the magical intensity of your inner world. This can be a very confusing time if you try to attend to what is happening inside you by means of linear explanation; for there might not be any such that qualify to adequately describe what you are feeling and observing about yourself.
Your already strong sense of intuition is even more greatly amplified by the psychic alertness of these powerful days and weeks, when Saturn is also lending its weight to inner work. Then too, when Mercury Retrogrades at nearly the end of the month, on the 23rd, there is a further thrust toward introspection. The Mercury Retrograde period of time lasts for five weeks or so, since even when it returns to direct motion in mid-March it must make up its lost zodiacal ground before it fully regains its normal functioning. All in all, this is not a good time to push the river, as they say, but it is a great time to be journaling and exploring on the inside; and to deeply consider whatever it is that you there encounter.
With the Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, February 3rd, in your sector of dream imagination and inner work, you come to a lunar phase that is about reviewing and revising your understanding of what has gone before this moment in the lunar cycle that began in mid-January. Your recent investigations have been in the direction of partnership dynamics and deepening your understanding of who you are in the vast reaches of your unconscious – and these might in fact turn out to be the very same thing. This phase definitely signals an increase in your grasp on the importance of what you have going on deep within you.
The New Moon of late Saturday evening, February 9th, gives you fresh energy for these expeditions and for your creativity in response to the deeper needs expressed by what you are in the process of discovering. With the dawning of this new cycle, you are entering even more into a learning mode. Like a tourist to a strange new world or the inhabitant of a glass-bottom boat, you are interested and curious to explore, and stunned by the variety of sea-life that you find in every direction when you stop to look. You might have to suspend former beliefs and habits, and use a strange form of underwater logic but if you have the courage to do this you will encounter wonders.
With the Last Quarter Moon of Sunday, February 17th, you run into a moment of increased tension in your process, in which you are poised for breakthrough. If it comes to a question of holding on to the past, it might be best to take a deep breath and let go, internally, of the notion that is stopping you. It might be that old and largely non-functioning habit patterns are coming up for you over this monthly cycle, and if so, these walled-off parts of yourself benefit from being acknowledged rather than shamed. They might be ready to give up the ghost, once you have recognized them for what they truly are in terms of wounded places deep inside your psyche, These were possibly the result of childhood situations that were from such an early age that you have no real memory of the trauma.
With the extremely potent Full Moon of Monday, February 25th, you come to another exciting crossroad, when you are reaching out for a peak of excellence and for better relationship understanding . This implies an integration of all your parts, and as well striving for a state of balance amidst the swirl of circumstance that you find yourself in these days. Mercury is now retrograde in your home and family sector, and you might be reviewing and revising your connections in this important area. The retrograde period is better for self-examination than for direct action, so that this is a great time for getting your recent revelations into digital form or down on paper.
