Manifesting Magic! *
“Magic is believing in yourself - if you can do that, you can do anything! - Goethe
The ability to manifest is within all of us. We are constantly creating our futures, through our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions. Visualizing what we'd like to bring into our life can be the first step toward making it happen, if we give that vision power and belief. We are all manifesting all the time – but this month is an especially powerful time for taking control of the process and owning our futures!
February is the time to wave a stardust wand, forming creative concepts into reality. Belief is the magical ingredient that makes possibilities manifest - especially belief in yourself! Confidence in who you are is the key ingredient to any success. Your self belief defines who you are, helps shape your dreams and makes the impossible do-able. Go Ahead: Manifest Your Magic!
With a mixture of liberating Aquarian energy and perceptive Pisces panache, February offers us the ability to tap into futuristic thinking while manifesting magical creations here and now! In the weeks ahead we can create miraculous happenings in our lives by embracing greater belief in who we are, how we define ourselves, where we're are going and how we want to get there!
As we come off the empowering event of the Leo Full Moon Eclipse, we enter into a new period this month highlighting love, beauty, imagination, ethereal understanding and Universal connection. In this way we are better able to tap into our personal alchemy, our soul song, enabling us to shape our dreams and future more fully! This is your month to make magic!

The Outer Planets stay in a sign for a longer period of time, so their effect on us is more gradual, but significant none the less. Here they are in their current positions:
Jupiter is in Scorpio all month: As the planet representing expansion and opportunity moves into the Mars-ruled sign of Scorpio, we start a new cycle of intensity, passion and transformation. We'll now experience greater determination to achieve our desires, heightened passion in pursuing our goals, and deeper intensity in expressing our feelings. Jupiter magnifies whatever sign it is in, and in the water sign of Scorpio, our sensitivities will be emphasized, offering us a chance to grow emotionally and intuitively. Additionally, metaphysical concerns, healing energy, mysticism and desire to bring to light the truth in all matters will also be highlighted. There will be greater concern for the deeper issues of life as we seek the answers to universal understanding. This is a time when we are being urged to focus on our similarities rather than differences in order to create a more peaceful future. Jupiter will be in Scorpio until 9 November 2018.
Saturn is in Capricorn all month: Saturn, the “serious” planet ruling responsibility, maturity, hard work, achievement and conservation now moves into it’s ruling sign Capricorn, where it feels most at home. Saturn cycles are very important – they usually last for about 29 years and teach us about caution, moderation, building secure foundations in our lives and looking at life with sober, thoughtful and wiser eyes. This new cycle of Saturn/Capricorn will last until March 2020 – the time prior was Nov 1988 to Feb 1991. We now enter an important era where our energies will be focused on practicality, efficiency, realism, creating and restoring order, rebuilding the faulty structures of our lives and conserving our resources. Rewards come to those who put in the efforts that merit achievements – and to those who show thoughtful concern, patience and perseverance in their undertakings. Saturn is a teacher – showing us how we can grow through past mistakes, failures and hardships by using the knowledge that we gain from these experiences to acquire greater wisdom, self awareness, patience and finally, advancement. Expect big changes to our lives and the world as Saturn in Capricorn focuses on righting the wrongs around us, ushering in a new era of ethical concerns and rewarding sincerity, integrity and authenticity. This can be the time when your hard work, efforts and dreams finally pay off!
Uranus in Aries all month: As the planet of Innovation continues it's cycle through the assertive, aggressive and independent sign of Aries, we are encouraged to reflect on what we need for greater freedom in our lives. By embracing unique forms of self expression, liberation from oppression, new technology and inventive pioneering action we find new insights and advancement in our lives and world! Strength, assertive action, inspirational vision, intuitive understanding, advanced technology and new innovation is forthcoming, helping us to open up to new dimensions. Uranus will be in Aries until 7 March 2019.
Neptune in Pisces all month: While the planet ruling dreams and creativity continues slowly moving through its ruling sign of Pisces, we are encouraged to honor more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight!

Pluto in Capricorn all month: As the planet of Transformation continues its long journey through this sober sign, we get serious about making positive changes to ourselves and our world. The overall theme of this cycle is uncovering the misuse of power and authority to enable change for the better. It represents a major time of rediscovery, review and reconsideration that brings transformation to our society, government, world order and Mother Earth. It also pushes to think about the changes we want to make to our belief structures and our power as individuals and as a whole. This pairing will continue until 24 March 2023.
Chiron in Pisces: As the “wounded healer” moves through the sign of sensitivity, compassion and understanding, we have the ability to open our hearts to others while working to heal ourselves. Greater spiritual awareness, empathy and intuition can be gained during this time but it's important not to loose ourselves in the effort to assist others. Keeping personal boundaries in place is key for self care too. Chiron will be in Pisces until April 2018.
