Fire renews; shines; propels. Earth structures; refines; grounds. Air multiplies, balances, stimulates.
Water washes; deepens; transcends.
The usually conscious choice to intake water is essential to sustain life. Once water is consumed, its effects begin to be felt throughout the body. Fluids begin to flow, cells become plump, and detoxification begins. Your consciousness aligns and your intuition stabilizes.

Zara Larsson (Cancer Moon in both tropical and sidereal)
Water blessed by the Moon the night of the summer solstice. The drinking of water to soothe. The cleansing of the mind. The water of the realms of Cancer.
Namasenda (Tropical: Scorpio Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Moon, and Pluto ☆ Sidereal: Scorpio Mars, North Node, and potentially Moon)
Water used to steep and extract illimited properties. The drinking of water to increase power. The cleansing of the soul. The water of the realms of Scorpio.
Justine Suissa, vocalist for OceanLab (Tropical: Pisces Mercury and North Node ☆ Sidereal: Pisces Mercury, Sun, and Venus)
Water that is clear and blue with endless depth and eternal vastness. The drinking of water for divination. The cleansing of the higher spirit. The water of the realms of Pisces.

We start February with the Full Moon in Leo opposing a commotion of Aquarian energy on the blessed day of the Sun. Have a personal revolution; change your fate. Expect spiritual advancements, emotional surprises, and movements that dictate how we, as individuals, navigate through society and the extensive world. Find fortune and passion in the scorching heat and transform it into intellect and healing. Let the finest side of you shine.
Use the 2nd to care for the emotional and intellectual realms—apply foundations and lean on supports. On the 3rd, Uranus will go direct (after being retrograde since November) and begin its last few movements through Taurus before entering Gemini on April 25th. Meditate on what has been since 2018 if you wish, but don’t get too sucked into nostalgia, because Uranus is all about what is coming next. It’s time to start getting ready for your trip to the future. I talk more about Uranus in Gemini here. The 4th and 5th are great days for artistic creation and (keyword artistic) contemplation. Take a dip and go for a swim, but don’t let yourself drown.
On the 6th, Mercury enters the sign of Pisces, the place of its fall and where Mercury will go retrograde later this month. This is a great time to start making spiritual changes and connect with what may be new or foreign to you. The connection between what has been and what will be; what you know and what is to be known. Being handed another’s shoes and putting them on. Don’t get so in your head that you forget the rest of your body.
From 7th-9th, be passionate. Shed your skin. Try something out of your comfort zone. Sometimes, where we end up is somewhere different than where we thought we would be, go on the journey.
On the 10th, Venus will go into Pisces! This is the first time this blessed placement will get to occur without a Venus-Saturn conjunction since 2023… but be cautious as not to become blinded by the energy… spread love, peace, and decorative visions in the world ☮︎☮︎☮︎ Be a truehearted hippie, a real one. Do it from a place of sanctity and devotion. Fuck all the bullshit.
On the 11th and 12th, be productive and get things done. Don’t let yourself crash; be one who cures. The Mercury retrograde shadow period starts on the 11th. Dream and ponder on blueprints.
On the 13th, Saturn goes into Aries. This is a period where the limitations and pain that exist within our world will become very apparent, loud, and unavoidable as Saturn begins a new cycle and brings a rebirth of limitations, structures, and disciplines. It’s important to remember that how we treat the situation is very important here, especially when we are dealing with the archetypal mix of the sign of Aries and the planet Saturn (the sign of Aries represents one personal power, and the planet Saturn represents the journey of persisting in the face of limitation and affliction). Things may seem very bleak, and you may feel very weak, but it is here that resistance is built. The rigorous training of a soldier. The fierce lesson that limitation can also be a great force of strength.
“I really think my Aries Saturn influenced the way I worked 12-24 hours a day, practically the entire month to get it done on time. Even afterwards, there were issues I was thankfully able to resolve. I learned through failing repeatedly.” – Josh Morin describing the influence of his natal Aries Saturn on the creation of his debut album (read my interview with him here)
On the 14th and 15th, let yourself explore new worlds, new experiences, and new thoughts. I feel like surprising, random, out of the box, yet still classy gifts and experiences would be really cute for Valentines Day this year, but feel out the vibes. Do what is right within your heart. Even if you do not have a romantic partner, this is a good weekend to connect. Be sexy and keep the drama to a minimum. Classy and boujee.
