✶ Astrology Wonks
February 14th is loaded with more romance and passion than usual. This Valentine's Day falls on the fiery Leo Full Moon (3:53 PM, PST). Rebirth of your relationship, renewal of your vows.
Notes to myself: I just got a message from a friend asking, Why is everybody acting so crazy? Even though I think I've said this to the point of being annoying...it needs repeating. The enormously intense revolutionary transformation (the 5th of 7 squares between Uranus and Pluto) reaches it's most exact and powerful alignment April 22nd! A sense of urgency is building fast.
We’re at a crossroads that forces a choice. We cannot continue in the same ol’ way. Staying safe, staying the same, is a choice many are trying to make--and they are failing by falling into their “shadow.” The ego has taken the gloves off. Fear is being sold like popcorn at the movies.
Our gifts, our destiny, must come out of the closet of littleness. God knows we are capable of so much more, we are so much bigger and more powerful than we've been willing to admit. Love is so much bigger and more powerful than we've even be able to imagine!
My personal experience has had many surprises, even though I'm taking the temperature of this alignment constantly! I'm still shocked by the ego insanity that this stressful turning point has unearthed in many of us. Fear seems to be hard to defeat. Maybe this is why we see so many movies about zombies and vampires and the undead!
Carl Jung referred to this as the "sunset effect." Just as the Sun sets on a finished day, a day (or neurosis) that's over, it flares up big and colorful. So too our insane fear-driven beliefs.
Personally, I think Love wins everytime!
