Aquarius February 2023

January’s opening gives you the spotlight. February’s ending gives you a cool space in which to recover. Both opposite, both vital for the other’s success. Fame, then the spa. Act quickly. For, until Thursday, January 26, you will look your most stunning! Utilize Venus’ beauty gifts to the max. Venus is in your sign until the 26th.

By February 18, you’re beat, you just want to relax. The same day, however, Mercury, master of communications and the internet, enters your sign. Your words are like gold, and everyone listens – for a brief spell until March 2. No worries. No pressure. Lucky and profitable Jupiter blesses your third house – yes, ruling communications, the internet, and social media – until May 16. You get extra lucky breaks with the above, and also with siblings, cousins, and sib-like friends.

The fly in the ointment is your anxiety (Mercury has been retrograde in your twelfth house of the unconscious, stirring up your fears something awful – but now, thankfully direct, as of January 18) and you also have Pluto in this twelfth house. This doesn’t make it any easier, but does provide hope for transformation and metamorphosis.

The Sun moves into your second house of cash February 18. But until then, cut down on your spending! You are living above your means, and you probably know this.

A new Moon in your second house of finance the next day, February 19, signals a new financial arrangement in your life. I predict it will be positive with the Sun, Venus, Pallas, and Neptune (all positive planets) surrounding it.

But before that, you must tend to yourself.

For right now, in your first house of the self and image, and in your sign, you have:

The energy and intention of the awesome Sun

The current Aquarius Moon

The beauty and charisma of Venus

The brilliant communication and thought of Mercury after February 11

Stick-to-it Saturn of enduring legacy

And what does your first house rule?

Your face (you can always tell someone’s rising sign, always on the first house, by his / her FACE.)

Your body

Your looks

Your image

Confidence

Your behavior and disposition with others

How the world perceives you

Your outer persona

You are a true individual, to be sure, and you’re out there, cutting edge, and futuristic. Aquarius rules electricity, so you must shock. What this means is a whole part of yourself has come to an end and now has to go. And it’s the part you’ve been wanting to rid yourself of for some time now. Old habits keeping you back. Doubts. Agony! Gone, all gone.

This is a period when you focus more on your personal life, less on what you think others think.

In a way, it’s kind of like leaving home for the first time, or saying goodbye to your childhood. You’re doing a better job of this than you think. After having some time to rest and recover, that is. And finding yourself a new friend.

You will be getting a lot of attention this month, your birthday time! Everything is in your sign of Aquarius, focusing on – YOU. You can be forgiven for feeling egotistical at a time like this. It is the time to strut your stuff!

And in the way that great fellow Aquarius Mikhail Baryshnikov (born January 28, 1948) said: I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.

Remember also your karma and purpose as truth-bearer and truth-seeker. That makes 2023 an interesting time to be alive. With Saturn in Aquarius – for everyone – we are about to see a lot of lies crashing down.

It is your job to tell the truth. We’re talking about good old-fashioned truth here, combined with all the work you’ve done and your preparedness equals unqualified success.

I must say it again. You’re looking really good nowadays, though you seem to have some doubt there.

Looker Venus has had you at your most gorgeous, and now the Sun and Mercury mid-month only increase your hotness. So, clearly, you can’t hide away and lick old wounds — it’s just not an option. A new style you try around this time, in hair, clothing or simply the way you project yourself, is beyond successful.

All the trauma of a significant relationship that you’ve undergone is essentially over.

This month, you flourish by being tougher and more learned. With Chiron in your third house of communications, you need to talk it out more. Chiron, of course, is the wound that could never heal. You do heal it though. With short-term therapy or a reading!

You can relax in your own kind of spaceship wherever you want to be.

It’s been tough emotionally. But, Aquarius, with major planets moving in your First house, it really is YOU that helps you most now. Your art. Your own inner child.

And a New You is being born. Maybe you didn’t know you had it in you – but you do. You have overcome incredible obstacles, and you know so much more than you did — even a year ago — and, well, you’re basically awesome.

A New You is being born out of yourself. Birth is painful. Birth is traumatic. Birth is miracle. Birth is joy.

How could all those things be true at once?

It kind of says what you’re experiencing now. As in, a LOT.

It’s you severely in the world, too. You are the birth.

Allow me to share with you something W.B. Yeats wrote. It kind of describes your recent situation.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

This is the real road, and the deepest self-worth you will learn. Brava. You did it!

Happy 2023, Awesome Aquarius! I can’t wait to read you!

The snow is gone from cottage tops
The thatch moss glows in brighter green
And eves in quick succession drops Where grinning ides once hath been.
– February, John Clare

February is the dreariest month – except for Valentine’s Day, bang in the middle to bring us joy. And not only for sweethearts! For those of us who are alone, and more of us are, and by choice, than at any other time in human history, Valentine’s Day is about expressing your love. For your friends, for your fur babies, for your family, for – whomever, or whatever brings you love: express all of it! I believe we all have love in our hearts, and this is why I read you.

My job as astrologer / healer / palmist / psychic is to encourage and activate self-love, too. Very important: love YOURSELF on Valentine’s Day! Buy yourself flowers, take yourself to that movie / exhibit you’ve been dying to see, indulge in a luxurious bubble bath, treat yourself to a luscious dinner. Eat the ice cream. Why not? Love is love. It is good. It is the best.

The New York Times dubbed me “Love Guru” in a half page article they did on me in 1999. It was published on Valentine’s Day. Here it is if you’d like to read it.  https://madalynaslan.com/press/articles/the-new-york-times-article/

I still do this for clients, of course – everyone wants to know who their special person really is – but, as many of you already know, I cover everything else as well! (Viola, my lovely Virgo assistant, is waiting for your email…viola@madalynaslan.com.)

Giving you a heads up for next month. After 15 years, membership fees are finally increasing. The 2007 economy was a very different economy than 2023, as we are all experiencing. For the monthly, it’s notional – an increase of $1. This will take effect in March. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Of course, you may opt out or cancel at any time.

YOUR DESTINY DAYS  Aquarius Sun, Aquarius Rising, and Aquarius Jupiter, your destined times are:

(EST) Monday, January 23 until 12:36pm; Saturday, February 18 after 12:35pm; all of Sunday, February 19 until 11:56pm.
