Horoscope Guide February 2023

In these days when almost everything for and about current astrology can be found on a phone or a website, to many people there is still something satisfying about having a whole year’s worth of information about which planet is doing what from day to day on a printed page right there in front of you. That is what this magazine you hold in your hands is for. It allows you to read the basics of your year ahead (or the basics of the year for anyone else in your family) at your leisure, make notes on it, and circle coming dates on the calendars. And all of this can be done without having to worry about recharging the battery halfway through an article. Okay, kidding, as I have a cell…

Retrogradation takes place when a planet, as viewed from Earth, appears to move slower, stops (stations retrograde) at a particular degree, and as a result “appears” to move backwards through the zodiac for a fixed amount of time, causing it to linger longer than usual in a portion of the zodiac. At some point in the retrograde cycle, the planet slows and stops (stations direct) once more, and then moves forward again. When planets retrograde, they have a mind of their own and alter what the planet represents. Whenever you need to follow a plan around the time the planet begins its retrograde cycle, make sure you have an alternate one. Retrograde periods are times when you can look back at decisions you made and actions you have taken. You can…

It is safe to say that astrology is all about people, but in saying that we have to keep in mind that not only do people come in all sizes, but they also come in all kinds of groups, from single individuals, to couples, families, and cities filled with an assortment of individuals, couples, and families, and then finally there are whole states and countries. It is on the far end of those different assortments, where we are dealing with whole countries, that we enter the realm of what is traditionally known as “mundane” astrology, the astrology of the world’s people, their interactions with each other, and the events that occur among and between them. Some astrologers who specialize in mundane astrology also focus their attention on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,…

Chinese astrology is a unique system that assigns each year, starting on the New Moon in January or February and ending 12 or 13 New Moons later, to a different animal in a 12-year cycle in the following order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit (or Cat), Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat (or Sheep), Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. Each animal in turn is classified by an element: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth, meaning that the same animal-element combination recurs every 60 years. This is the year of the Water Rabbit, which lasts from January 22, 2023 to February 9, 2024, and like the animal it personifies, this year promises to bring optimism, happiness, and peaceful co-existence to the world. This could be a tall order since it follows the year of the fierce…
