February 2012 Horoscope

By Josephine Nesline Alvarez                    June 2010

The world will be in deflation mode. The debt crisis is universal. Another fourteen years to go. Pluto made its entrance into Capricorn January 27, 2008 and it will exit 2024.

“Debt/Deficit/Deflation”

A culmination will occur in July/August 2010. The grand cross will be in effect, which means, tremendous stress from the planets opposing each other.

A frightening picture is illuminated the U.S. financial outlook could be dismal for many years to come. Congress, big business, Wall Street, banks, and financial institutions all come under Pluto in Capricorn domain. Everything will get worse before it gets better. This is a world debt crisis. So, who is going to help who?

Pluto also rules underworld. In Capricorn, which is an earth sign, it could cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis. The New and Full Moon can activate the above.

The critical period from the major planets will be in effective until June 2012. The U.S. economy will be affected in a negative way for years to come. The housing market will continue to be in a slump. We can also expect more mountains of unserviceable debt. The “Tea Party” movement will gather strength, just like it did back in pre-colonial times. We are repeating the cycle of the last Pluto in Capricorn, which occurred January 7, 1762 – December 1, 1779. Will history repeat itself?

We see a dim light at the tunnel concerning the unemployment picture. The unemployment should start to stabilize. Saturn in Virgo during the last two-half years has caused loss and lack of jobs. With entrance of Saturn in Libra, you will see the November 2010 elections a very promising opportunity for the female candidates surging forward. Also the elections of 2012 could see a female candidate capturing the White House. The “Tea Party” movement is gaining tremendous limelight and whoever they endorse will win.

Society is fighting for their individual right. We could witness a breakdown of the old power structure and creates new ones. It will bring an end to the corrupt and greedy government in “bed” with the greedy big corporation. We could witness another global depression. There could be a shortage in gasoline and food. Pluto in Capricorn provides motivation for the reconstruction of government. It could easily ignite revolutionary forces. It would definitely be a universal one. Social and political upheaval- global insurrection.

With Uranus moving into Aries on March 11, 2011, fully departing March 6,2019. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac; it will add impulse to innovation. It will reform technology, mixed with political revolution and social turbulence. It will be a time of great shifts pertaining to earth via climate change and increasing earthquakes, to social and economical reformation throughout the world, also to be included financial shifts.

Uranus is the “wind of change” which will dramatically affect Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn folks. It will join Jupiter in Aries and oppose Saturn in Libra and “all” squaring Pluto in Capricorn. We are entering one of the most astrologically active period that we will witness, especially June, July and August of 2011 during the “Grand Cross” of “Cardinal Signs”.

On June 4,2011, Jupiter, the planet of good fortune will enter Taurus, the sign of the “Banker.” It will exit June 11,2012. It rules wealth, possessions, music, beauty and supreme creativity. It is ruled by Venus. It is the ruler of the second house of money and possession. You will see an upswing in tangible property, financial institutions, people, in general, will feel a positive feeling, therefore, they will purchase worldly goods. Since Taurus is an earth sign, it would be a time of “getting back to nature” literally. Musicians, composers, and singers will be blessed by this transition as well. Taurus rules are the throat. So it will be a year of plenty and comfort, which Taurus loves. Since Taurus is an earth sign, we will finally see the housing market start to stabilize. After 2012, it will “slowly” start to improve. Taurus’ enjoy fine dining and they are also art lovers, so we should see positive activity in both sectors. On the negative side, we will see an increase in earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.

In 2012, Uranus and Pluto will continue squaring each other, June 24 and September 19, a crisis situation for the nation’s capital. The election of November 6, 2012 will have mercury retrograde which will cause voter count irregularities. Global conflict will continue. Again we have to watch the new and full moon aspects relating to earthquakes activities and tsunami devastation. The harsh celestial lineup lasts into 2015. It is similar to the planetary stresses that were active during the Depression years of the 1930’s.

On February 3, 2012. Neptune, the planet of mystery, illusion, deception, and confusion enter the sign of Pisces and exit on 2025. Neptune is the natural ruler of Pisces. It is both positive and negative. It can bring magic, romance, mystery, and inspiration. It can also bring losses, sorrow, confusion, and deception. While in transit in Pisces, it will be at its peak with its powerful influences, so we will have to take off our “rose-colored-glasses” and “get out of the fog”. This is going to be quite an event. Watery Pisces is the sign of the martyr. It is the planet of fog, mist, oceans, perfume, and oil. It rules photography, cinema, and drugs. Its function is to expand our experiences of reality to a new dimension of consciousness. Its last transit was 1847. At that time there was famine in Europe. The Communist movement began with “Workers of the World, Unite.” With the social unrest, millions of people around the globe, who are unemployed and the restrictions imposed by government, which are trying to weather the global meltdown and capitalism. It will be a social warfare of the “haves and have not’s”. Neptune in Pisces means "Nothing is quite as it seems"…
