“WEEKLY REVIEW BY PHASES OF THE MOON
2 February: Moon’s First Quarter in Taurus
You are calm and composed this week. You have achieved and are content, you turn to prayer, spirituality and meditation. You get contemplative and look within for more profound answers. You are in a mood of thanksgiving and contentment. On the flip side, there are mounting expenses and other worries. But you have the mental strength and the money to overcome these minor hurdles. You ride the wave with aplomb. You will turn to the higher self now and tap your spiritual reservoir. You realize that there is a power above and will pay obeisance to it. This is a unique phase in which material and spiritual progress will be linked. There is all-round growth at many levels.
9 February: Full Moon in Leo
In this phase in an earth sign money matters will be paramount. The strong theme during this period continues to be finance, property acquisitions, possessions and buying and selling, especially stock and commodities. But you need to protect your rights as well. Don’t succumb to get-rich- quick ideas, however tempted you may be. People may ride roughshod over your principles and you should take care to guard against this. More money is definitely enticing but the means is as important as the end. Family matters and personal affairs also take a lot of your time and attention. There is a good chance of being pressurized and exploited and you need to guard against this. Forewarned is being forearmed and Ganesha is warning you not to be tempted by gains or by unscrupulous or dubious means of progress/ earnings. Librans know what the good life means and come into their own when there is peace and harmony. Don’t sacrifice mental peace for monetary and material gains, however tempting they may be.
19 February: Moon’s Last Quarter in Scorpio
This is a grand phase. You feel good about life and about yourself and will be able to follow your heart and your true inclinations. Moonlight and roses, love and storybooks, romance, leisure and pleasure are what this week has in store for you. Financial pressures ease and there is luck in dealing with funds and investments; you may even take risks in speculation and gambling, with some success too. You are empowered in this phase to take both your money and your emotions. But Ganesha warns you that it would be wise not to play too fast and loose with someone you cherish. Keep a handle on your euphoria and don’t go overboard. There are pitfalls; tread carefully. As we all know all that glitters is not gold.
23 February: New Moon in Aquarius
You are now back to the nitty-gritty of day-to-day life. It is a drain on your creativity and a grind, but you handle it gracefully. While in this mode, you are also drawn to spiritual pursuits, meditation and the higher truths. You will seek a deeper meaning to life, far higher than the daily toil. There will be the demands of family, work and your own inner life. Ganesha also says that there may be short journeys which are both productive and relaxing. You will get work done and also make contact with people both socially and professionally. You will reach out, display awesome skill and achieve a lot. Very little can hold you back in this phase. You feel energized and empowered and nothing can hold you back. But it will be in your interest to hold your own tongue; why hurt others when you can avoid it?
