A Monthly Overview Review
Your Astrologically No-Nonsense Inspired Takeaway for February
Through late January—from the Aquarian new moon through the Taurean first quarter moon—we were all presented with opportunities in enlightenment through rather aggressive experiences and rude awakenings…
And so February begins on a note of personal potential pause—either in awe, or confusion, or in a way to figure out what’s next.
Because see, since roughly 2019/2020 we’ve been learning and re-learning, challenging and learning yet again that these years of personal experiences before 2019 are truly No Longer… that which used to work no longer works, that which used to attract this, that, or the other no longer attracts those, and that which used to be a way of going about something specifically is simply no longer an option. It is not until we are beginning to surrender to this notion—this notion of changing many of the ways we do things—this notion of unlearning—that we actually begin moving forward.
Unlearning is tricky. And it’s frustrating. And exhausting! But necessary.
We’ve had a handful of years now—it’s time to get a grip and getting going again, because it’s only always going to be something of a mess from here on out… at least not until we straighten our own selves out fully can we even attempt to manage to straighten out anything beyond ourselves.
Through late January—much of what was highlighted and illuminated alike, was the actual depth and evidence of substance within your personal values and true needs…
Are you actually living within/toward your values?
What compromises are you making?
These needs and values may have changed tremendously since 2019…
This can be a conversation of eager openness—an openness to change for some of you… or it can be a real point of contention for others.
Either way, change is occurring—with or without your approval or comfort.
Sort of how the crime movies inevitably always suggest at some point—we can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way…
The planetary energies are constantly communicating this same sentiment with us.
The month of February also represents a continued time in preparations toward the personal reality you actually want, the one you’ve been working for, the one that represents your ideal… the reality that embodies your personal values, and both offers you and sustains for you all of your needs, and likely even some of your desires…
But this is the part, within the developing and unfolding of it all, where you need to participate in your own self-evolving—participating in the confrontation with yourself, with your fears, with your actual, true needs, with your limitations, and with whatever else it is within yourself that continues to hold back (very likely familial conditioning, very little self-worth, or very pesky early patterning)… and particular pieces within this narrative will continue to be highlighted and illuminated—how you choose to navigate these challenges will largely alter where this potential takes you.
Several heavier aspects occur this month—of which I will be writing toward on offer to those of you who have a paid subscription—which will be key in regard to responding versus reacting, as you may have much to react about… particularly as the month begins with a dominating Saturnian vibration, turning into a heavily Mars-oriented energy toward the end of the month, rearranging much in terms of perspective.
Finally, because March begins nearly immediately with such powerfully-resounding energies toward healing and recovery—it makes one wonder, as the planets tend to offer gifts when gifts are necessary—and so if this informs in any way, it may be worth your effort this month to go lightly, egoically speaking, and go forward intentionally, prepared with strategy… to take your time now—as things continue to evolve, and there are more lessons en route to encourage transformations—particularly if you do not yet know exactly what you want or need, or what you value, or what reasonable steps you’re prepared to take toward this newly renovating-in-time personal reality.
If you’re struggling now, it’s likely because you’ve previously denied, avoided, resisted, ignored, or projected these personal truths and/or limitations for far too long…
It’s time for change.
If you’re not struggling now, it’s likely because you’re prepared, have made necessary changes and personal egoic alterations, and are opening to a hugely rewarding time in your life—a time you will never forget.
Continue to make changes as necessary.
“I spent years pushing back against my mother’s unshakeable faith in my strength and abilities. Then one day, somewhere in adolescence, I finally realized that this was a really weird battle for me to be fighting. Defending my weaknesses? That’s seriously the hill I wanted to die on? As the saying goes: argue for your limitations—and you get to keep them… why would I want to keep my limitations? I didn’t, as it turned out. I don’t want you keeping yours, either.”
