The Cosmic Tea: February 3-9
Howdy, friends! This week is book-ended with some exciting astrology. Venus starts her pre-retrograde bad girl era, Jupiter stations direct, and we get our Aquarian moment of clarity that could help to galvanize us. The tea is starting to bubble this week and I can’t wait to see how this turns out!

At 3:51 P.M. CST It looks like there will be good news today, because Mercury the messenger in Aquarius will be in harmony with Jupiter in Gemini. Jupiter is the planet of good fortune, luck, and optimism. In Gemini, the sign with all the gossip, it’s in a position to help. It’s also worth noting that Mercury is the planetary ruler of Gemini adding an extra layer of potency to this planetary relationship. This is also a good time to make a big announcement.
Later in the evening at 8:43 P.M. Mars in Cancer will square up with Chiron in Aries creating some tension between the two planets. It feels like Chiron is bullying Mars, who is still struggling to take action in this sensitive water sign AND is also retrograde, while Chiron is in the sign that rules Mars. On Earth this can show up as a disagreement or frustration that could open up an old wound. Just remember to be gentle with yourself and others.

What better way to start a Tuesday, than some fresh planetary energy? At 1:57 A.M. Venus moves into Aries. Venus unfortunately, loses a bit of her charm in this sign. Venus is all about connection and harmony while Aries is the sign of confrontation. It’s like if the most popular person in school started hanging out with the grunge kids. She’s edgy, now. We can expect our encounters to be more bold, courageous, and unconcerned with consequence. THEN, at 3:40 A.M. Jupiter stations direct. This may re-invigorate our sense of optimism and enthusiasm unless there is a strong Virgo or Pisces placement in our chart, in which case the newly direct planet may go unnoticed.

Happy Friday! Now that Venus has changed signs, she will have different interactions with the other planets. First on the guest list is Pluto where at 6:14 A.M. the two will inspire one another creating an atmosphere that allows us the bravery to get deep with whomever we connect with. As a result we can expect our encounters this day to be transformative in some way. This is also a good placement to reconnect with someone with you’ve maybe had conflict with and get to the root of the ugliness that the conflict may have been rooted in. When we understand a problem on a subterranean level, we become empowered to deal with it accordingly. In this aspect we can harness the bad girl charm of Venus with the magnetism of Pluto helping us to attain the things we desire more easily. It is wise to maintain a cautious optimism with new people you meet today because Pluto is involved, there may be something dark lurking under the surface.

At 12:22 A.M. The Sun makes a helpful aspect to Chiron. Now that the Sun is in the detached Aquarius, we can look at Chiron from a clinical vantage point. This will give us a better understanding of our wounds and/or how we heal others. In case the insight isn’t clear or if you’re asleep like I will be, later that day at 1:20 P.M. Mercury will interpret Chiron’s message to reiterate via a conversation or random thought so be mindful of what shows up.

Early in the morning at 6:07 A.M. the Sun and Mercury will merge together in what’s called a cazimi. Cazimi comes from an Arabic word that means “as if in the heart.” This happens when a planet forms a conjunction with the sun. The said planet goes “into the heart” of the sun, infusing it with vivacious solar energy. Cazimis are said to bring clarity, truth, and an empowered perception. With this happening in Aquarius, I believe it will show us how we can show up radically and revolutionize the parts of our lives where we tend to be more Aquarian (the house in your natal chart that Aquarius rules). Shortly after at 7:14 A.M. we are gifted with a harmonious aspect between the more challenging planets: Mars and Saturn. This is great energy for mapping out mid-to-long term goals. Saturn in Pisces has shown us how to take our dreams and put them into containers (almost like a fish tank) and Mars in Cancer knows how to navigate said container (like a crab in a fish tank.) Mars will be retrograde until February 23rd, so I wouldn’t launch any plans into action just yet, but now is the perfect time for incubation.
The Cosmic Tea is a general temperature check of the cosmos for the week. Some of these planetary movements may be felt personally or they may go unnoticed. Each of us has a unique astrological make up designed by the cosmos at our time of birth. Some of us may have planets in our birth chart that ease the more challenging aspects in the sky, currently or they may exacerbate them. Some may experience planetary shenanigans in their home life and others will experience the same energies in their career. All this to say, if you want to know how all of this may show up for you personally and what planetary defenses you have in your arsenal, I can certainly be of assistance. Just book a Transit Reading with me, below and we can decipher all the planetary shenanigans and how they might manifest for you!
