NOTE TO READER: These dates are based upon electional techniques. All of the dates apply to all of the signs. I select certain dates for each sign but these dates apply to all of the signs. Do not simply read your own sign – read all of the signs for what I say about the specific dates. When I say that, "...the Moon is in your sign...," this information applies to everyone.

GOOD DATES:

Remember, Mars is Retrograde thru March 10. But, there are many good dates --

FEBRUARY 4 (before 10:55am EST), February 8 (after 7pm), February 9-10 (but know that something will be dropped for something better - this could be someone leaving for something better), February 13, February 14-15 and 17-18, February 23 (between 10:40am and 12:30pm), February 24-early 25.

CRISES LUNATIONS:

Crises Lunation periods occurs when, at the time that the Moon is New or Full, the Moon is physically very close to the earth. This closeness-lunation parallel will amplify our emotional reactions, bringing matters to a crisis point. This Crises Moon period usually begins about one week before the New/Full Moon and lasts several days afterward. I find that you are only affected by one of the Crises Moon periods, usually one that falls close to a natal planet. When a crisis arises, my advice is always to "stay calm, relax and make no impulsive decisions for at least a week." The most critical are eclipses. The most potent occurred on April 15, 1995, because it occurred at the time of a Lunar Eclipse. Of course, the event it portended was the Oklahoma City bombing as the Eclipse fell on the ASC/DESC axis over that city. The WTC/Pentagon attack occurred within a wide orb of a Crisis Lunation. The US invaded Iraq on a Crisis Full Moon in March 2003.

I remember one example - a father called about his daughter who had run away from home about 4 days before the CFM. I told him what was occurring and that he should wait for about a week and she would likely return home....and she did. After the effects of the CFM were over, she became rational again.
There is a period when there is a series of 4 Crises Lunations. Usually only ONE of these CFMs that hits you -- generally, not all of them ... and you cannot always tell which one it is going to be. When it hits, you go crazy and your emotions are magnified. But, when the Moon begins to move away from the earth, we calm down. I am a Virgo so a rational explanation is very satisfying for me. If I know that I am feeling this way because of some astrological/astronomical configuration, it makes it seem OK and I feel much better.

June 22 2009 was a very critical New Moon/Solsitice with many accidents, particularly the Metro disaster in Washington DC. Personally, everything that could go wrong did – flat tire requiring full tire replacements, computer stopped working, food poisoning...just to name a couple!

UPCOMING CRISES FULL MOON DATES: January 30 (exact); February 28 2010. The 31^st is the most critical since it occurs at the time of a Lunar Eclipse. Look for some type of disaster around this time. NOTE: Terrorist activities and shooting dominated the news.

NOTE: The December 1 Full Moon was really out of orb to be a CFM but it sure acted this way. The Traffic Light Grid in my area failed, creating traffic crises everywhere in the county. Because there are 2 Full Moons in December, it is a Blue Moon period. As I have observed in the past, it is like having a Full Moon every day until the month is over. Even now, the snow has caused crises for all who need to shop for the holidays and retails who need to sell for the holidays...and more snow is coming.

Aries	Leo	Sagittarius
Taurus	Virgo	Capricorn
Gemini	Libra	Aquarius
Cancer	Scorpio	Pisces

This is a time to make plans for the future - travel or education. You may have a tendency to despair (especially when life does not move quickly enough) but looking to the future will keep your spirits up. A new financial opportunity may present itself but keep your investment small. The Moon is in your sign on February 17-18 and this Moon makes excellent aspects, especially with many parallels. The parallel aspect favors alliances, both temporary and permanent. Neptune favors spiritual matters and humanitarian endeavors.

Index

You may have to let go emotionally of things that truly belong to the past. Do not mourn what you have outworn - look at not only at what you have but what is now being offered! Think about what makes you happy and do that! Fixed signs can hold on - now you are challenged to let go. The Moon is in your sign on February 19-20. Socialize with your true friends. Listen to what another has to say (very difficult for Taurus) or you will disappointed when a misunderstanding manifests. The good news is that Pluto in Capricorn is putting you on a path of personal and professional empowerment. Look to the House position of your natal Sun so see from where this new power is coming.

Index

This is a month to wait for financial benefits to ripen. Do not act impulsively as everything is getting ready to change. Finish up your projects already commenced so that you can begin anew. The Moon is in your sign on February 22 and very early on the 23^rd, the 23^rd providing a better time. If you must commence on the 22^nd, the Moon makes afflictions to Venus-Jupiter-Uranus so there can be unexpected disruptions and hurt feelings. Best to wait, if you can.

Index

There will be some type of awakening for you in February. This awakening will allow you to make plans for the future – travel or education or future plans in general. Do not sweat the small stuff in February for, indeed, they will really only be small annoyances. The Moon is in your sign on February 24. This is really a good day to initiate and the last aspect the Moon makes is a favorable aspect to Uranus. With this aspect, you receive surprise assistance. Someone will help you cut through the red tape and pursue a progressive path. The pace is fast and the outcome is liberating.

Index

It is not only important but essential that you follow your intuition in February in order to avert any difficult situations. Your intuition is powerful in February and your most important ally. The Moon is in your sign on the 26^th but the ending aspects are oppositions to Mercury-Neptune. There can be misinformation that cause problems. If you find yourself in a bind, there will be some temporary assistance that rescues the situation.

Index

New enterprises present themselves this month. It is essential that you, like Leo, must use your intuition in making important decisions this month. There may be one, in authority, who appears aloof and detached. Use your intuition to make the connection. The Moon is in your sign on the 28^th and early on March 1. This is a Crises Full Moon so this is not a time for anyone to initiate as this is a very emotionally charged period. The above advice is that Virgos need to be more detached in emotional issues so as not to be swept away by emotional reactions.

Index

This is a month for deep, introspective reflection and studies. Studies at this time can help you gain a different perspective. You may feel indecisive as you try to balance the new with the traditional, traditional meaning that you try to please others. This is a time to work on yourself and not worry about what others think. The Moon is in your sign on February 2-3, the 3^rd being better but before 10:55am on the 4^th being best. On the 3^rd, the Moon will square Mercury so there can be a disagreement but the final aspects are great. Mercury can just be a minor annoyance that is resolved through compromise and organization.

Index

There may be a sudden, unexpected surprise this month. You may have to change your way of thinking. There will be decisions to be made and you are unsure – unusual for a Scorpio. When you do not know or understand the situation, it is best not to make a decision since you might feel deceived. The Moon is in your sign on February 5 and the ending aspects are squares to Venus and Neptune. On this date, the truth is difficult to ascertain. Uncertainty means that there can be no guarantees. Do not initiate on this date.

Index

This is a time to make a WISH – make that wish NOW! This is a month to plan for the future – a travel or education. Before initiating, rest, take time for yourself and put all stresses aside. The Moon is in your sign on February 7-early 8 and, while there can be sudden changes, relationships can be most rewarding, either spiritual or romantic.

Index

This is a month for celebration, for a party and socializing with friends. A new enterprise is about to commence. It is a good month to consult a female about financial matters. She has good insights. The Moon is in your sign on February 9-10 when the Moon is extremely well aspected. However, Mercury changes into Aquarius and Venus changes into Pisces. This usually indicates that something gets dropped for something better. It can be disruptive if important people leave for something better. It is best served when you agree to change for an improvement...and the improvement will be for something that is, indeed, much better.

Index

The energies in general are very good for Aquarians this month. There will be enthusiasm for a project and you will receive an important message that gives cause for celebration with a loved one. This is an excellent month for family gatherings. By month’s end, you feel a positive sense of completion. The Moon is in your sign on February 12-13 but the energies are best on the 13^th when the Moon makes many parallel aspects. This is an excellent aspect for support from others. The New Moon in Aquarius favors new beginnings. The last aspect is a conjunction with Neptune, which I consider favorable in this case. This aspect in Aquarius favors spiritual concepts, compassion towards others and you may receive surreptitious assistance without even knowing it. It is a good time to help others.

Index

This month you can get your wish - but you must make that wish NOW! Someone in authority may be holding onto money and this leaves you in the dark about what decision to make or what action to take. Mars is still Retrograde so it is OK to wait until clarity is presented to you. The Moon is in your sign on February 14-15 and it is extremely well aspected. Even the Mars-Saturn aspect supports practical and methodical action that can lead to success. This favors matters moving quickly, cutting through red tape and modernizing with progressive changes.
