It's personal...
I firmly believe that Astrology is personal. The moment you were born a timestamp was made, documenting the exact position of every planet. When you learn about your unique chart, you discover that you are more than how you see yourself. The essence of who you are is complex and beautiful.
When the planets form angles with your natal chart (where the planets were when you were born), significant transits are formed. These transits are catalysts for energy shifts, realizations, growth, and changes in your life.
These transits are the most important part of how the universe is affecting you. Mercury retrograde may affect everyone in a general sense, but these transits are personal and unique to you.
My goal is to make Astrology as accessible as possible without losing its individualistic nature. My 'Guide to the Universe' newsletter is a monthly guide to your personal transits with a detailed overview of the energy you're receiving that month. It's something that I'm very proud to offer and I thought I would share my personal February guide with you in this newsletter!

Your Guide to February Astrology
February is complicated for you. With Aquarius dominating the energy, you’re pulled in a few different directions. Financial insecurity (real or imagined), fatigue, and a strong desire for the support of your friends may have you feeling needy and unsure about how to process your feelings. Secretive, cerebral Aquarius brings out your “push your emotions away” nature, making it difficult to understand and express yourself.
Vulnerability is most needed when you feel like you have no one to turn to.
February Planetary Placements

Your Most Powerful Transits This Month
2/2: Jupiter Conjuncts Natal Saturn
When Jupiter forms a conjunction with your Natal Saturn (the exact degree Saturn was in when you were born) you’re called to confront the restrictions you’ve placed on yourself and find freedom. A frustrated transit, you may feel a strong urge to cut ties with everything that feels like an obligation. This energy sheds light on everything you do because you feel you should. It helps you to let go of things that don’t serve you and restructure your life to make space for the things you really care about. If you use this energy as a catalyst you will walk away feeling like everything you have previously endured is intolerable and you’ll know not to sacrifice yourself again.

Full of optimism, this energy encourages ambition and helps you clearly communicate your wisdom, goals, and needs. Life feels balanced and everything seems to run smoothly under this transit.

This transit focuses on creative evolution. It brings out a side of your personality that you’ve always wanted to explore but have never prioritized.

Your Most Powerful Planet in 2022: JUPITER
Visionary Expansion
In Astrology, Jupiter expands whatever it touches. For example, when Jupiter meets up with the Moon, which rules your inner world and emotions, your inner world gets deeper and your emotions become more intense. Its energetic nature is philosophical, spiritual, and boisterous and it encourages us to find deeper meaning in everything we encounter. When Jupiter transits our natal chart, it asks us to evaluate what we believe in and how we live by those beliefs.
How Jupiter will impact your year
As Jupiter transits through your natal chart, especially February through May, it aims to inspire you with valuable perspective and illuminating ideas. Its progress will bring you closer to philosophical truth and spirituality, helping you to make big decisions and reconstruct your environment to better support your inner essence. These transits contain such forceful optimism that their energy encourages you to understand why you were ever pessimistic to begin with. Embrace the surety, confidence, and compassion that this energy is bringing you this year and you will go far in your endeavors.
