Planets transit in the Month of February
Mercury retrograde will end on February 3rd. Mercury has been retrograde since January 14th. The planet of communications, reason, making and decisions will slowly return to normal forward motion and its significations will also return to normal.
As Mercury heads towards the sign of Capricorn it will join Saturn. Mercury is under the influence of Saturn this month as Mercury transits through Capricorn. It gets closer and closer to Saturn, the planet of restriction and delay. So we can expect the beginning of Mercury to manifest a lot of the delays, especially applied to things like making decisions. Saturn is the reality check planet and when combined with the Mercury planet of rational thinking and making decisions it will make people humble.
Venus ended its retrograde period on January 29th. The significations of the planet of romance, compromise, agreement, and finance will slowly get back to normal as the planet returns to forward motion.
There will be Mars and Venus Conjunction from 11th Feb to 12th march. Mars combined with Venus puts the two gender planets together resulting in a lot of heat, passion, excitement and drama. But Venus has another problem to deal with. Mars and Venus are going to be in a planetary war and this planetary war starts in Sagittarius sign and it continues in Capricorn sign.
What is Planetary war? A planetary war or Grah Yuddha, happens when two of the these planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) are within one degree of each other. What happened in Planetary war, one of the planets who is weak both as a signification and as a house lord, feels defeated, thus unable to support any of its significance and can never be stable.
In this planetary war Mars is the stronger of the two planets because it is in friendly sign of Sagittarius and exalted in Capricorn. Mars is the planet of force, but in Sagittarius it is very righteous. So it will not harm Venus as much. This war is fair and freedom giving. Although Venus' significance will not be fulfilled, still having freedom of your choice is a very big thing.
There will be a New Moon On February 1st in the Nakshatra of Sharvana. This New Moon is exactly conjunct with Saturn, the reality check planet. So this month to be very serious and ready to deal with realities.
The Full Moon on February 16th in the nakshatra of Magha.
There is kaal sarpa yoga that starts on the 23rd of February and it will be till 9th of March. What is Kala sarpa yoga? This configuration happens when all the planets wind up on one side of the Rahu ( North Node) and Ketu (South Node) axis. Rahu and Ketu are the eclipse points at the intersections of the path of the Moon and the path of the Sun as seen from the earth. This is an unusual formation of planets. Basically it's an indication of some kind of an imbalance in someone's life. In other words all planets on one side of the zodiac with nothing compensating on the other side and the fact that the planets are captured between the Rahu and Ketu axis, indicates that the energy is being held back by some kind of strong karma.
This yoga is more normally employed in the analysis of natal charts. If some has this yoga in their natal chart, it means that person lives in uncertainty for most of their life.
On 4th Feb to 22nd Feb there is a conjunction of Saturn and Sun. So what happens is when a combustion takes place. The planet gets hidden behind the Sun and the Sun becomes all powerful. This combustion is generally expressed as frustration towards authority figures. But in conjunction with the Saturn also has influence on the Sun and this makes authority figures realize their mistake with time. The Sun will move into the Aquarius sign on the 13th of February.
