Mars Square Pluto chart - 2 February 2019 at 3:19:30gmt - 7e23, 43n42
This month of February 2019

 starts with (see chart drawn for Mars Square Pluto above)
- Venus aligned with the Galactic Center in Sagittarius / Trine Mars and Uranus in Aries and Quincunx the N.Node in Cancer
- a Square between Mars in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn
- a lingering Square between Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces
- a T-Square between Uranus in Aries, Pallas in Libra and the N.Node in Cancer
- a Quintile between Uranus on Aries and Mercury in Aquarius
- a T-Square between Juno in Taurus, Ceres in Scorpio and Vesta in Pisces

 but overall this chart is about an aspect dreaded by many: Mars in a tense aspect with Pluto
which in short indicates power struggles and confrontations
- awakening a relentless fighting spirit
- feeling powerful, focused and determined to defend oneself against any threat or perceived threat
- a release for bottled up anger and resentment
- aggressive (violent) reactions against any hidden underhanded manoeuvre to dominate or control...
- much energy / a tremendous focus and drive to achieve desired goals

and as usual, how this energy will be expressed depends on individual charts.. but I tend to see it as a necessary purge before Mars' later conjunction to Uranus (last degree of Aries) the latter being the ruler for the coming February New Moon.

One aspect to take note of in the above chart, is the Quintile between Mercury in Aquarius and its ruler Uranus in Aries which indicates the importance of relying on intuitive flashes
particularly since it will soon be reactivated by the New Moon in Aquarius.

Another important factor in this chart in my opinion is Venus
which is trine Mars and Uranus and gives solutions for the confrontations mentioned above
and
its alignment with the Galactic Center (27° Sagittarius)
- as it was already aligned with the Great Attractor (14° Sagittarius) during the total lunar eclipse in January -
repeatedly directs our attention to the issue of ethereal waves..
and for those whose charts are affected, it confirms the download of Galactic messages and information..

for all these necessary aches on our path
i see these Venus alignments during this period as an invitation to take a moment to breathe in deeply in order to be totally sincere and "true" ...
with the hope to eventually resolve these conflicts
and to reach the center of the "heart" and attain a state of unconditional Love

involved in their eternal dance
Mars and Venus are therefore both major players for this month of February.


concerning the above Mars - Pluto square, here are 2 symbols for your consideration :

 22° Aries
THE GATE TO THE GARDEN OF ALL FULFILLED DESIRES.
Key: Abundance made possible by human togetherness and cooperation.
In contrast to the crude and cruel road to fame and power symbolized by the prizefighter, we now see a symbol of apparently wide-open and effortless fulfillment. Alone, a human being can barely survive in nature's great life drama; in organized groups men can in due time fulfill their desires. The abundant life is in theory open to all. At least this is the ideal, the great dream. This symbol can also be given an erotic meaning, referring to womanhood.                                    
At the stage of this series of symbols, the goal of happiness dominates the consciousness of cultural man, the more validly so the more modest his desires. Religious philosophies, like American New Thought, glorify this social feeling of abundance, glamorizing it into an avid COSMIC OPTIMISM and a cult of success.

22° Capricorn
BY ACCEPTING DEFEAT GRACEFULLY, A GENERAL REVEALS NOBILITY OF CHARACTER.
Key: The realization that one may grow through defeat as well as, and perhaps more than, through success.
While the preceding symbol referred to the drive toward success in culturally organized collective endeavors, this one presents us with the possibility of turning apparent external defeat into an inner spiritual achievement. We have recently seen howtotally vanquished nations (Germany and Japan) have leaped forward and achieved great economic success. Much depends on the quality of the will and the inner integrity of the person.
At this stage we find what seems to be a paradox, but the spiritual life is always paradoxical. The great sinner can become the most renowned saint, and a medieval Pope a criminal. What matters most always is INNER STRENGTH.



 Aquarius New Moon 




New Moon chart for 4 February 2019 at 21:03:35gmt - 7e23, 43n42


this New Moon (which consists in a Moon and Sun conjunction) is
- Conjunct Mercury and Lilith in Aquarius
- Semi-square Venus in Capricorn and Chiron in Pisces
- Sextile Jupiter in Sagittarius
- Semi-sextile Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces
- Quintile Uranus in Aries and Ceres in Sagittarius
is also standing on two mid-points (Venus Square Chiron and Saturn Sextile Neptune)
and its chart forms a cradle pattern

by healing old wounds (Chiron) in our relationships (Venus) and with the extraordinary amount of information (aspects to Mercury and Jupiter) circulating along with flashes of intuition (Uranus) we are called to allow our imagination (Neptune) take material form (Saturn)

in short
after an eventful start on 2019 and a most stressful week
with this New Moon
by generously imbuing meaning in our thoughts and actions
we may look at the horizon with renewed inspiration and hope !


Symbol for this lunation :

16° Aquarius
A BIG BUSINESSMAN AT HIS DESK.
Key: The ability to organize the many aspects of an enterprise involving a large group of human beings.
A great deal of what is glowingly written about the Aquarian Age is probably sheer glamour. The New Age should be one in which man learns to use the power generated by human togetherness and group interplay — that is, to use it harmoniously for the welfare of the whole of which all individuals are parts, humanity and the planet Earth. This has never been achieved and only very rarely attempted. Mankind today must make a thorough and irresistible attempt, or be nearly destroyed — except for a creative "remnant" of seed-persons who would have to begin again from new foundations. In the field of big business, of huge war undertakings (like the Normandy landing in World War II) or of major national efforts (like the Moon landings) great results have been achieved, but the motive and the quality of the human interrelationships involved were neither of permanent significance nor invested with a truly harmonic quality. The character of the techniques used were totally un-satisfactory from a "human" point of view. Nevertheless there is much to learn from modern large-scale management and systems analysis, even in terms of personal endeavors of very limited scope.
This stage introduces the concept of management which is basic at this period of the cyclic life process which the zodiac symbolizes, yet which needs to be totally reevaluated if mankind is to actualize the spiritual potentialities implied in the evolutionary transformation just ahead. ORGANATION should be the Keyword, rather than mere "organization"; for humanity now can and should realize that it is indeed an "organism."

  Well as a stepping out of the memorable trials of 2010, this last month has been quite challenging ! We recently had the total Lunar Eclipse at 29° Gemini on the Solstice, less than two degrees opposite the Galactic Center, reactivating matters that had come to light during the course of the past few years; it was followed on December 26-27 by the Sun aligning with Pluto at 5° Capricorn thus indicating that certain "secrets" or issues are revealed and made manifest in a rather dense form. As if it were not enough then on the 29th, hours before Mercury finally went direct in Sagittarius - to progressively clear our recent muddy thinking - Mars in Capricorn squared Saturn in Libra, asking us to abide our time while testing our courage, patience and ability to meet frustrations, obstacles and restrictions! 2011 started on its first day in a lighter mode with the Moon entering Sagittarius after she'd fully activated during the last hours of a difficult year, a p

“Amid the whirling forces, I stand confused. I know them not, for, during all my past, they swept me up and down the land wherein I moved, blinded and unaware. From place to place and point to point, they drove me up and down the land and nowhere was there rest.” Esoteric Astrology, Alice A. Bailey Azar in November-December corresponds to Āçiyādiya, "Month of the worship of fire", whence Kaman or Nimasp (the centaur) represents a hunting divinity symbolised by the bow and arrow. It was called the Light of the White Face , the Flowing Day , the Smiting Sun Face and its constellation was the Star of the Bow with which Rukbat was associated. It is also called Sagittarius, the ninth Sign of the Zodiac. Alpha Sagittarii, a star in the Sagittarius constellation, has the traditional names Alrami and Rukbat, derived from the Arabic rukbat al-rāmī = the knee of the archer. Rukbat means 'knee' in Arabic.  In the stan

  Full Moon 21 November 2010, 17:27:19GMT 7e15, 43n42 Symbol: A Peacock Parading On The Terrace Of An Old Castle according to Rudhyar, this symbol refers to "hereditary gifts that manifest on a personal level" - or from an occult point of view, it is about the coronation of individual efforts when these rest upon a spiritual legacy.. Children In Halloween Costumes Indulge In Various Pranks social rituals that periodically allow the release of rebellious immature energies and tensions By taking a slow look at the varied aspects of this Full Moon, its mixed messages urge us however towards an inspired and truthful grounding of our passionate self within Reality. No matter how ambivalent and slippery this one appears, we need to maintain our lucidity and exert sound judgement.

This Sagittarius New Moon on 25 November 2011 coincides with a partial Solar Eclipse. With nearly 90% obscuration of the Sun, the eclipse will be visible across Antartica and New Zealand. Solar Eclipse 25 November 2011, 6:09:40gmt, 7e15, 43n42 Symbol : Two men playing chess According to Rudhyar,  the transmutation of man's natural aggressiveness under most conditions of existence is essential to socio-cultural living. Many rituals, sports and games have no other basic aim. In chess, the struggle between light and darkness (the Yang and Yin forces) is ritualized, ending in most cases with the checkmating of the king (the ego, the conscious self). In a dualistic world such a contest between polarized forces is omnipresent. The chess game trains men to be more objective, more careful, more aware of whole situations — and less impulsive and intent upon side issues. This symbol deals with conflict, but at a group culture level. Keynote: The transcendent rituali

"Any cycle of existence must begin in something. Life emerges out of one kind of seed or another. In the cycle of yearly vegetation, the seed lies hidden in the ground during the winter; then, as the sun's rays gain strength and spring begins, the great event of germination occurs. As the seed is torn asunder by some inner power of eager response to the sun, the rootlet stretches itself downward into the soil and the little germ reaches up to the crust of the soil, which it breaks in a magnificent gesture of liberation from the darkness of the past."   Meditations on Saturn by Dane Rudhyar The Total Lunar Eclipse at 25° Sagittarius during 15 June 2011 Full Moon, happens with the Earth perfectly aligned between the Sun and Moon - so 'she' will pass at the very center thru the Earth' shadow .. and will turn copper for even longer.
