What’s new
In the transit column I have added the parallels and contra-parallels. Although not many astrologers use these aspects of declination on a regular basis, they are worthy of consideration.
The big picture
There are no planets in fire signs, except for the Moon.
For the first half of the month there are 5 planets in earth signs.
Transits
There are number of interesting transits to choose from. The one that interests me is the Jupiter sextile Uranus on the 18th February. The conjunctions of these planets have often been associated with scientific breakthroughs, for example the cloning of Dolly the sheep., the first successful cloning of an animal. It will be interesting to see what events correlate with the minor sextile aspect.
