Various dissonances
The Sun transits in dissonance in the fourth field in Aquarius , where it meets the New Moon on February 17th. Mars remains in sextile in Capricorn only until January 23rd, after which it moves into Aquarius . Conversely, Mercury and Venus are already in Aquarius but will begin a trine in the fifth field in Pisces , on February 6th and 10th respectively. Meanwhile, Neptune on January 26th and Saturn on February 14th end their trines in Pisces , moving into Aries ; Pluto in Aquarius is in square to the first decan, Jupiter in Cancer is in trine to the second, Uranus in Taurus is in opposition to the third. In general, the most tiring days will be January 20th, 26th and 27th, February 1st, 2nd, 8th, 15th, 16th and 17th. Things will be better on January 21, 22, 23, 30, and 31, February 4, 9, 14, and 18.
Patience, not pessimism
The protection (let's call it that) of Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces is a little less powerful during this period, for several combined reasons. The first concerns the two planets directly, because Saturn now only involves the final degrees and ends its trine on February 14th, while Jupiter is in a full trine at mid-sign, with encouraging medium-term prospects, but still retrograde. The second reason concerns Uranus in Taurus , which, conversely, resumes its more effective direct motion on February 4th, reviving its opposition also because it is directly involved in the New Moon of the 17th. And the third reason, albeit contingent, concerns the more rapid squares in Aquarius : Sun , Mercury until the 6th, Venus until the 10th, Mars for the entire astrological month (plus Pluto for the first degrees). In short, it is a configuration that is certainly evolving, but complex and a bit challenging at the moment. However, a relative but progressive relaxation should be noted, with the swift planets returning to their support and thus supporting Jupiter itself (the double trine Mercury and Jupiter will be precise on February 16th, and the double trine between Venus and Jupiter on the 22nd). This suggests avoiding pessimistic or defeatist tendencies, and instead favoring constructive patience, including responsible control over emotions or impulses that could lead to misjudgments, inappropriate behavior, or decisions driven by impatience rather than clear and focused will.
Open yourself to comparison
Dissonant transits in the fourth field seem to draw attention to domestic, family, and otherwise private matters. These aren't necessarily serious difficulties, of course, but they could bother you, worry you, and take up your time and energy. If you have financial issues to manage, consider that instinct may not be a reliable guide, and to regain some objectivity, it's best to wait until the second week of February. This is especially true if the decisions you need to make involve relatives or former spouses, with whom the relationship is already somewhat delicate. It's better to say one word less and listen one more before jumping to conclusions or risking making the situation worse! Even with your partner, there could be unpleasant misunderstandings or some nervous moments. Try not to vent inappropriately; instead, focus on distinguishing what's truly wrong from any fleeting bad moods, which you can otherwise overlook. Meanwhile, you're not lacking motivation at work and are actually overly determined, although an overly rigid attitude could weigh on collaborations, causing you to miss out on otherwise stimulating discussions and valuable checks. The second half of the astrological month signals potential interesting developments, perhaps some useful encounters, and project insights to develop. Financially, too, things should improve, perhaps thanks to the conclusion of a negotiation or a successful deal.
First decade
Mercury is in trine from February 6th to 12th, Venus from the 10th to the 18th. It's true that Pluto is always dissonant, but these days you may be facing some doubts or misunderstandings with your partner or a friend, family member, or colleague. Allow yourself the benefit of a deeper, more honest understanding, admitting any errors in your judgment or behavior.
Second decade
Jupiter remains in trine , while Mars square you from February 5th to 17th. This is probably not the right time to make decisions, especially financial ones or those that involve long-term commitments. Between February 15th and 20th, you'll be able to take a broader view, perhaps rediscovering your natural strategic instincts.
Third decade
The New Moon of February 17th, with Mars moving into dissonance with the Luminaries and Uranus still in opposition, signals a complex period, with too much impatience and little objectivity. Give yourself time to regain emotional calm and mental clarity before jumping to conclusions on important matters. Certain changes shouldn't be approached impulsively.
