Martian intensity bookends the first half of February. This period opens and closes with intense Mars-outer planet aspects: a Mars-Pluto square and a Mars-Uranus conjunction!

Our other main theme is Aquarian inspiration. We have lots of aspects firing up genius, creativity and intuitive flashes. All this, plus an Aquarius New Moon and three peaking aspect patterns, make this half-month rich with opportunities!

Our listener chart features Kahlei, whose Cancerian Moon and Mars receive hard aspects from the transiting Mars-Pluto square! I advise Kahlei on the best use of this challenging stimulation.
