Heads Up!

The Writer’s Astrological Almanac

February 2019

(all times are PST)

Friday Feb 01 is the day of the week dedicated to Venus. Enjoy the gentle touch of Venus and carry it with you throughout the month. Put away the jack hammer you used last month and go back to the rubber mallet. You’ll be glad you did.

Fri Feb 01 the Moon is in Capricorn all day. Feel responsible for what you do. Mars squares Pluto this evening. Heads up to not be sulky or angry all day. Why pick a fight? Late at night the Moon conjoins Saturn. Did you make a genuine effort today? If so, Saturn will be pleased.

Sat Feb 02 the Moon conjoins Pluto in Capricorn. You may want to use extra care with people, but it may not all be necessary. On the plus side, Venus trines Uranus in the afternoon. Let others, especially your characters, surprise you.

Sun Feb 03 the Moon moves into Aquarius at 5:03 am. Decide to let this morning not be stressful. By 2:29 pm Venus follows along, leaving Sagittarius and entering Capricorn. Aesthetics may not get a lot sweeter but they should appeal to more people. It’s also the day before the New Moon. Heads Up in all ways that matter to you and keep you safe.

Mon Feb 04 the Moon is in Aquarius all day. We have the New Moon at 15Aqu at 1:04 pm. Heads Up. Spend the day, and the lunar month, working on projects that can affect and maybe attract more people. Don’t get too personal about it. At 11:11 pm the Moon conjoins Venus. Have a pleasant night.

Tue Feb 05 the Moon enters Pisces at 6:02 pm. Give your intuition more permission. It’s the Lunar New Year, the year of the Pig. Kung Hei Fat Choy!

Wed Feb 06 the Moon is in Pisces all day. Work with feeling.

Thu Feb 07 the Moon conjoins Neptune in Pisces. Expand your emotional horizons but don’t get all over-exposed and vulnerable about it. At 5:24 pm Mercury sextiles Mars. You might get your sharpest ideas at the end of the day. If so, don’t let them escape.

Sun Feb 10 the Moon is in Aries when Mercury changes signs, leaves Aquarius and enters Pisces at 2:51 am. Heads up. Feelings and sensitivities may come and go more rapidly. Let them. At 12:48 pm the Moon conjoins Mars. You know you want to be busy and productive. Make it happen. At 3:48 pm the Moon conjoins Uranus and goes void of course until 5:28 pm when the Moon enters Taurus. Relax into the evening, no matter how the day has gone.

Tue Feb 12 the Moon is still in Taurus when Mars conjoins Uranus. Heads Up. Act on that crazy notion if you can do it without unloading on the rest of the world. Maybe do it in private. You can write and not show anyone right away.

Wed Feb 13 the Moon enters Gemini at 1:32 am. We have from now until early Friday morning to be as curious, creative, and communicative as we dare to be. Heads up. What a great way to indulge on a Wednesday, Mercury’s day of the week.

Thu Feb 14 the Moon is in Gemini when Mars changes signs, leaves its home Aries and enters Taurus. Heads Up. The pace may slow but it won’t stop. Dig in and make some lasting progress.

Fri Feb 15 the Moon leaves Gemini and enters Cancer at 6:03 am. Heads up. Sleep well? Now have a nice breakfast.

Sun Feb 17 the Moon is in Leo when the Sun sextiles Uranus. Be a bit more open to that stray slightly wacked idea. The real news is, though, that today is the last day that the Sun spends in Aquarius. Tomorrow the world may feel a bit more emotional and look a bit more inspirational. Heads Up.

Mon Feb 18 the Moon is in Leo all day. At 2:52 am Venus conjoins Saturn. The old and practical can be beautiful, too. At 3:04 pm the Sun changes signs, moves out of the fixed Air sign Aquarius and. moves into the mutable Water sign Pisces. Heads Up. At the end of the day, everyone and everything wants to be deep and wonderful. Write like it. At 10:37 pm Mercury conjoins Neptune. The head and the heart want to move closer together. Heads Up.

Tue Feb 19 we have the Full Moon at 7:54 am. The Moon is at 00Vir. Heads Up. If you want to edit, edit. At 6:39 pm Mercury sextiles Saturn. You may want to start fast but be willing to end slowly. Make it good.

Wed Feb 20 the Moon is in Virgo all day. We have had a month of Wednesdays with the Moon mostly in mutable signs. Fine, then. People like to read about people, after all. So long as you keep working.

Fri Feb 22 the Moon is in Libra when Venus conjoins Pluto at 7:53 pm. It could be a kinky if elegant weekend. This is great for the writers of saucy romances.

Sat Feb 23 the Moon is in Scorpio when Mercury sextiles Pluto. The fireworks may not be big or last long, but they will still be fireworks.

Wed Feb 27 the Moon conjoins Jupiter in Sagittarius. Not until 10:48 pm does the Moon move into Capricorn. Feel lucky, be generous with yourself, and take it all the way to the end of the month. Good for you!

February may not have all of last month’s Capricorn transits or the eclipses, but don’t be fooled and let your guard down. There is nothing lightweight about Aquarius and Pisces. Most of the heavy-hitting planets are in strong positions. Saturn is in Capricorn. Neptune is in Pisces. Jupiter is in Sagittarius. Don’t let their positive qualities go under-utilized.

Do your best work. Dream your best dreams. Expand your influence. Reach out in more directions to more people. You can do it. You can do it all. Heads Up!
