The Energies of February 2012

This week we have another strong energetic event that further empowers change in the world, the planet Neptune moves into Pisces. All of the generational planets, Pluto, Uranus and Neptune have changed signs now, which lends new purpose and support to the transformation that we, individually and collectively are engaged in. The last time Neptune was in Pisces, in 1848, was also the year spiritualism was born, Darwin’s theories changed the nature of belief, Marx’s work challenged social structure and the California gold rush was born. What has changed in your life since 1998, when Neptune first entered Aquarius? Were any illusions destroyed (that’s what Neptune does) and do you see yourself differently now? What dreams will Neptune support and empower for you now as it enters Pisces, the sign of spirituality?

We are all experiencing a deep need to understand ourselves in new ways while also connecting with each other– as proof of that, Facebook’s user base is estimated to approach 1 billion this year. Entities that promise to reward us in exchange for taking our power are no longer appealing but moving out of that paradigm requires that we know, understand and can share our gifts and talents with others. We all stand for justice and equality and any institution that puts profits before people will get global attention and strong demands for change. We realize that when one suffers, we all suffer.

Beginning this month we will be challenged to believe in our dreams and in ourselves strongly enough to make them our reality. January was a month for completion and release as we found our place within the energies of this new and very powerful year. I think the year actually began with the New Moon on January 24 and we all felt the energy downloads of that week, which  encouraged us to release even more of whatever is blocking our path. With the blocks removed we will have a laser sharp insight into what brings us joy. All we have to do is take action.

February’s energy will be less intense in some ways while it demands that we challenge ourselves to grow into our power and empower our reality in new ways. With Mars retrograde until April 14 we can review how we serve the world, as servants or in powerful service that expresses our gifts to their fullest. Power is a theme for this month as we fine tune our use and sources of power. What do we do that makes us feel powerful? Who do we give our power to and how can we take it back? Be prepared for more energy downloads and solar flares but we will integrate them more easily as we find new ways to empower ourselves, our reality and the world. Who do you want to be in your life and how big are you willing to dream is the question for this month. Dream big and have a wonderful month.
