Galina GAIDUK, astrologer of the Avestian School of Astrology, will discuss the influence of astrological events at the end of winter.
February seems to promise stability, as all planets move in direct motion, avoiding serious obstacles. However, the triple conjunction of Pluto, Mars, and Venus could significantly change the month's scenario. This event will occur at the first degree of Aquarius, on the border between Capricorn and Aquarius, in the sign of the Higher Zodiac — the Sphinx. This sign will become a kind of checkpoint, and each of us will have to solve a personal riddle. Depending on our actions and decisions, the Sphinx will 'decide' whether to allow us into the embrace of the free-spirited Aquarius or to keep us in the conservative Capricorn. For those following the Eastern tradition, a conversation with the Sphinx may last an entire year.
In February, the planets, seemingly focused on the future, create ideal conditions for new achievements and experiences. Under such 'pressure' from celestial bodies, this period will become an excellent start for something groundbreaking and fundamentally new. It will become easier to be active, act quickly, and develop rapidly.
On February 2, Mercury will reach aphelion (the farthest point from the Sun in its orbit), which heralds difficulties. Be cautious and do not fall for manipulations!
On February 5, Mercury will conjunct with Pluto, plunging us into a period of intense information flow. The flight of thought will become more creative and free from rules, but words may provoke an information avalanche. This is an excellent time for those looking to complete many tasks in a short time, but the main thing is not to get buried under a pile of tasks.
On February 10, a new supermoon will occur. Although the Moon is not visible during the new moon, it will be close enough to Earth to cause strong fluctuations in the Earth's crust and affect people's moods. Do not lose harmony with yourself! This day will also mark the Chinese New Year of the Green Wooden Dragon. The new moon will be at the peak of a tense but active combination involving the 'experimenter' Uranus and the fictitious planet Proserpina, which 'governs' medical issues. This planetary combination may lead to an increase in viral infections, which may be 'missed' in some countries.
On February 13–14, an conjunction of active Mars with the source of elemental energy, Pluto, will occur at the first degree of Aquarius. Although this conjunction raises concerns, the absence of exacerbating interactions with other planets and the presence of a restraining configuration of the Arcana involving Saturn may prevent serious troubles. We hope that it will only result in a 'bombastic' demonstration of the power of celestial objects.
On February 16–17, Venus will join Mars and Pluto. The conjunction of 'gender' planets with the 'transformer' Pluto will noticeably invigorate everything related to love and sexuality. However, such a concentration of planets may lead to unfavorable situations and even casualties of a technological and natural nature, so try to avoid crowded places.

From February 22 to 23, Venus and Mars will conjunct in friendly Aquarius, creating conditions for normalizing relationships in various spheres. However, the global power vertical will not yet be ready for serious changes. On February 28, the Sun will conjunct with Mercury, and on the 29th — with Saturn. These planets will be in opposition to negative Lilith (the farthest point from Earth in the lunar orbit), but will be somewhat protected from its influence. The 'terrible creature' Lilith will be frightened by its reflection in the mirror of the planets. This means that the time for recognizing destructive foolishness and the need for urgent measures will come. Be attentive and pay attention to details.
At the end of the month, Venus and Mars will be in a negative configuration (T-square from Uranus and Proserpina), prepare for reforms and financial surprises.
It is also worth noting that February 2024 will be a leap year, adding one more day — February 29. There are beliefs about difficulties associated with leap years, especially after the challenging 2020, when the world faced global problems. However, this does not mean that everything will repeat. Usually, leap years are not marked by a large number of negative events.
