The themes for this month are compassion and understanding. February presents the opportunity to understand who you really are, what you have to offer others and your role in society. From here the challenge is to begin fulfilling your role and creating a compassionate space for others.
Understand the difference between what you think your truth is and what your think life is about, versus what the truth really is and what your life is really about. There is a big difference between the stories we hold about who we are and what always happens to us and the truth. The difference between the truth as we conceive it and the truth as it really is will become much more apparent this month. Your mental re-adjustment started in December and continues through this month.
If you are open to it, February will inspire you about what is possible for you. Be open to imagining how good your relationships can really get, how compassionate society can really be, and how the divine and profane can gently meld together. You will be given all sorts of opportunity to expand and grow this month, but understand with expansion and growth must come a larger foundation. Do not neglect the work of expanding your foundation to support a larger vision. Work to expand your foundation includes: aligning your desire with your soul`s purpose (not your ego`s purpose!!), doing the work to apply spiritual insight and working with your own vision of life instead of the one given to you by others. The integration of this expanded foundation creates space for more compassion for others since compassion always follows understanding.
And now that you have a deeper vision and greater understanding it will be easy to have compassion for yourself and all those around you. There is an energy of radical acceptance and compassion to this February. Transform whatever axe you have to grind into your calling. Take whatever you don`t want to share; whatever you find painfully odd or bad about yourself and put it on stage. Why? Because people need to see it and you need to share it to make peace with it.
By entering a space where we take responsibility for what we are most passionate about, and share what pains us most we create space for and inspire authentic connection with others. It takes courage to share what you don`t like about you, but it teaches others that they are not so strange or horrible after all…there is beauty in pain and an opportunity for healing connection. Doing something about what pisses you off will help you understand more about yourself and what you have to offer to society. It will also connect you with others who share the same passion and calling. In this way you will build coalitions that support who you really are and what is important to you. You really don`t have to hang around people you have nothing in common with and you really don`t like 
There is always a choice.
When you go through a process like this, you come to understand and have deeper compassion for others. What you used to find so enraging, so annoying, so painful,does not tie you up so much anymore. You come to understand and feel the difference between living your truth and the pain of ignoring your truth. People react differently to each other when they are content with their lives than when they are in pain and fear. What others do will no longer pain you in the same way because you will understand where they are coming from and feel much more compassion than ire.
Remember astrology is all about an evolutionary process. These are the lessons on the table for February. There will be opportunities to begin the process of getting this work done. Don`t feel rushed. There is more than enough time to get where you are going
Stay tuned for Aquarius New Moon and Virgo Full Moon goodness.
