**Your February 2019 Motivational Astrology Forecast!**

Your Unique Path!!

“There’s not one path. There’s not even the right path. There is only your path.” - Nietzsche

In one way or another we're all looking for direction. We eagerly search for avenues to find more self awareness, intuitive insight or purposeful pursuits in our lives. By exploring different tools, techniques and teachings, we try to ignite the magic within us – but the magic is already there, just waiting to be used! Acknowledging the beautiful energies, true gifts and unlimited potential that you innately possess is the first step to enlightenment. Honouring yourself and your unique path is your birthright!

This is the month to find your individual way, while realizing that there is no definitive path, course of action or perfect procedure. There is only YOU, and you are right, right now. Your soul is here to acknowledge and learn from the distinct abilities, challenges and triumphs that make you who you are. Realize that YOU, and the knowledge about yourself, the use of your talents and the ability to embrace your particular perceptions of life is what leads to further fulfillment. YOU are the teacher, the student and the master. This is your time to honour all three!

In the weeks ahead we can tap into a powerhouse of celestial energies, assisting us in finding and honouring greater self believe, personal power and true appreciation of who we are. With energetic Mars shifting into prosperous Taurus, creative Venus embracing down-to-earth Capricorn, a New Moon featuring liberating Aquarius and a Full Moon in organized Virgo, along with Sun and Mercury in the power of manifesting Pisces, we can break away from a feeling of lack and move toward greater empowerment and accomplishment of our goals.

February is the month to find our path by realizing that our purpose is to be ourselves, to embrace who we are and celebrate our uniqueness! What does the second month of 2019 hold for You and what energies can you embrace to support your visions and advance your dreams? Here's your need-to-know Motivational Astrology for February 2019:

4 February (3 Feb in U.S.A.): Venus goes into Capricorn – Relationship Reality! As the planet of love and creativity moves into the sign representing practicality, our connections and artistic visions get serious. We are prompted now to ask ourselves what we learned about our relationships and associations last year. This is your opportunity to put that knowledge to use! Get clear on your partnership vision and creative goals for 2019 by understanding what did and didn't work before. It's great to know what you want from another but also consider what you can contribute to make your love interests, relationships and friendships even better! This is a great period for seeing those in our lives more realistically and taking responsibility for what we value – within ourselves and with others! Additionally, this is an ambitious period for constructing creative endeavours, getting ahead with finances and improving connections in our personal and professional life!

5 February (4 Feb in U.S.A.): New Moon in Aquarius – Free Your Feelings! Begin endeavours that liberate your emotions and empower your mind! Embark now on different forms of thought, new technologies, unique philosophies, inspiring studies or interesting activities that can open you to original expression and thought! This is a time to unchain your emotional blockages and consider alternative ways to solve problems. Brainstorm what has been holding you back and consider what you need to do to move forward. This empowering New Moon helps us focus on the future with a new, hopeful and positive vision! We can now look for ways to activate more of our unique potential and discover more about ourselves and the world!

10 February: Mercury goes into Pisces – Thinking Makes It So! Honouring our sensitivity and encouraging our inner creative muse allows us to bring our thoughts to fruition. Our viewpoints, ideas and expressions are now more sensitive, intuitive, creatively focused and feeling. This marks a new cycle of empathy and greater appreciation of our imaginations, artistry, visual sense and meditative mindset. We are more responsive to gentler, kinder, sympathetic connections and in turn we reach out with greater love and supportive expression to those we care about.

14 February: Mars goes into Taurus – Energy to Manifest! For the next 6 weeks much energy can be channeled into our ambitions and goals - assisting us in cultivating and creating the outcome we seek! We are encouraged to embrace further determination, taking action to advance our objectives and visions! As the planet of action moves into the sign of determination, much power can be channeled into your goals to create the outcome you want! You are encouraged now to find greater determination and perseverance to take the initiative to manifest your desires. Cultivating greater patience, along with precision planning will help you realize your dreams. Consider what you value in life, realizing that it is not just about money! YOU, your talents, your vision and your fortitude is the greatest treasure you possess!

19 February (18 Feb in U.S.A.): Sun goes into Pisces – Love, Create, Appreciate! This new magical cycle brings the ability to recognize, express and utilize the sensitive part of our natures. Our spirits are freed now to explore greater creativity, intuitive awareness and spiritual connection with all that is around us. Sympathetic feeling, empathy and compassion unfolds along with a greater appreciation of the blessings and bounty that around us. Heart-energy rules and our artistic abilities are inspired! Surround yourself with beauty in all forms – now is the time to be the artist, the poet, the mystic, the lover, the muse! Grow your creative spirit and allow your power of visualization to take flight! This is the time when we can tap into the universal mind, find guidance and meditative strength in order to feel greater peace and a sense of Oneness.

20 February (19 Feb in U.S.A): Full Moon in Virgo: Fruits of our Efforts! This is a time of culmination, where we can feel a sense of completion from our efforts. This large Lunar light in the sign of Virgo focuses our energies on the "busy-ness" of life, pushing us to get things done, urging us to focus on efficiency and putting plans in place. We are urged now to complete tasks and get more organized, while not being too analytical, critical or perfectionistic - with ourselves or others. This emotional time is best used to get sorted, clean up, clear out and get rid of things that clutter our lives – emotionally and mentally - while persevering with personal/professional projects. Choose now to release what is no longer supportive to your emotional, spiritual and physical health. By letting go of the old habits, reactions and general baggage, you make way for a healthier, happier and more holistic YOU!

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 in Sagittarius: As the planet representing expansion and opportunity continues its forward motion through its natural sign of exuberance and optimism, we further embark on a new chapter of growth and positive possibilities! For the first time in 12 years this Jupiter/Sagittarius pairing will bring fresh adventures, inspiring energy and greater opportunities to learn, grow, travel and expand our horizons! Dreaming big, expanding our visions, taking on exciting adventures and embarking on limitless undertakings are highlighted! This is considered to be a lucky combination, helping us to advance our life’s journey and self awareness like never before. As such, we are being urged to acknowledge and identify with others on a more universal and global level. Opening our hearts and minds and becoming more open accepting of the differences in this world is another thing we can look forward to with this celestial combination! Jupiter will be in Sagittarius until 3 December 2019.

Saturn in Capricorn: As the planet representing responsibility, maturity and structure continues traveling through its ruling sign of Capricorn, we're encouraged to focus on the practicalities of life. Highlighted now are issues of efficiency, realism, creating and restoring order, rebuilding faulty structures 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 – helping us to grow through past mistakes, failures and hardships. By using the knowledge that we gain from these experiences, we can acquire greater wisdom, self awareness, patience and finally, advancement. 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! Saturn will be in Capricorn until January 2021.

Uranus is in Aries: As the planet of Innovation turns continues its 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. During this time we're offered the opportunity to make personal and global breakthroughs, helping us develop ways to overcome obstacles and welcome ways to better our world. Uranus will be in Aries until March 2019, when it advances into Taurus.

Neptune is in Pisces: The planet ruling dreams and creativity continues its advancement in its ruling sign of Pisces, encouraging us to honour more of our spiritual awareness, artistic inspiration and intuitive insight! Greater appreciation for the beauty around us as well as within us is also emphasized. We are urged to feel and express greater “we-are-all-one” compassion toward ourselves and others - along with further sympathetic understanding and involvement with humanitarian endeavours. As Neptune goes Direct we will have more motivation to visualize, create and manifest our dreams. Greater faith, spirituality and further use of our imaginations are also highlighted! Neptune will be in Pisces until 31 March 2025.

Pluto in Capricorn: As the planet of Transformation continues its motion through the sober sign of Capricorn, 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 us to think about the changes we want to make to our belief structures and our power as individuals and as citizens of the world. This pairing of Pluto in Capricorn will continue until 24 March 2023.

Chiron is in Pisces: As the “wounded healer” moves in the sensitive water sign of Pisces, we'll have greater opportunity to overcome personal obstacles, discover new psychic or creative talents and feel a greater Universal connection. This can represent a time of transformation in body, mind and soul. As we surmount challenges, we find greater empowerment, advancing our unique spirits while manifesting more of our dreams.

Blessings to You and Yours for a Fabulous February! You are Loved and Appreciated!
