Biz StarCast – February 2022 Edition

by Leslie Tagorda

February 2022 Overview

Focus Your Social Impact

You’ve got change on the mind and want to impact the world for the better through your Work. You want the freedom to be an individual while wanting to contribute to the collective. That is your social impact, to give back your one-of-a-kind gifts through your Work in an equitable way.

Create the change for the vision you hold for the future.

I know it’s a big ask. And you’ve had weeks to reflect, distill, revolutionize, and refine.

With Venus Rx now behind us, you reevaluated what’s important and what you want to bring more of in your Work with strategy.

And with Mercury Rx ending early this month, you revisioned the future you want to create through your Work.

It is perfect Divine timing of our cosmic support system because now you have the pieces to decide the social impact you want your Work to have. Social impact is the cumulative result of the ripple effect of change that snowballs when those whose lives have been impacted because of your Work with them.

Your ripple impact can grow when you are able to call in more people to your community. To do that, you need a clear Vision and a Vision Statement to share. Think of your Vision Statement as a manifesto, like Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. Where he shared his vision, his dream of a future where Black people lived with harmony and equality. Your Vision Statement is your rallying cry, your “Rebel Yell.”

Harness the collective astrology and star-powered energy of February to support this big ask. Take a page from MLK’s book, and start with finishing the statement: “I have a dream…”

The beginning of the month opens with an Aquarius pile up (aka Stellium) with the New Moon and Sun with Saturn all in Aquarius — allowing you to focus on a new beginning.

Mercury is still dancing with Pluto for persuasive communications, with this third, final meeting point giving your words potency.

Venus and Mars start the two-step that they’ll dance hand in hand in through March, starting in Capricorn, through Aquarius, and into Pisces – bridging the gap between give and take so you can increase your receptive capacity in aligned action in your Work.

Lastly, morning stars Mars, Venus, and Mercury rise before the sun and will be joined later in the month by Saturn pre-dawn. Visible, aligned, inspiration for early bird Luminaries.

Will you decide to be the change you want to see in the World this month?

I see you stepping into this big collective impact… Do you?

This month we see:

Mercury Stations Direct – Capricorn 24° (Feb 3)
Mercury reenters Aquarius (Feb 14)
Sun enters Pisces (Feb 18)
Mercury leaves Shadow – Aquarius 10° (Feb 24)

Lunations

New Moon Aquarius 12° (Jan 31/Feb 1)
Full Moon Leo 28° (Feb 16)

How to use these cosmic energies:

These are the collective cosmic energies available to us all.
There is nothing to be fearful of. Get curious about what we need to learn.
For larger shifts, you’ll feel the energy a week leading up to and away from.

To personalize energies:

With conjunctions/meetings or lunar activations, look to the degree of the activation and find where that degree lives on your natal chart.
Your astrological house in which the degree occurs is where in your business or life more information is available for that cosmic shift.

Week of January 30 – February 5, 2022

“Choose your intention carefully and then practice holding your consciousness to it, so it becomes the guiding light in your life.” — Roger Delano Hinkins

This week is about making sense of your impact and how you show up in the world. Kicking off with the New Moon in innovative Aquarius and coming out of Mercury Rx in hardworking Capricorn, it’s a time to plan based on what you want to create and be valued for, and then look at the best ways to strategically tackle that. It’s a productive, reflective period waiting for you to embrace!

New Moon in Aquarius 12°

January 31. 2022 9:46 PM PT | 12:46 AM + 1 ET

Rethinking Your Social Responsibility

Today I plant the seeds for my Work, in collaboration with my larger communities, to create a lasting difference in the world.

How do you want your Work to change the world?

Today you get to decide and declare how your Work is here to create equitable change and social impact. Your Work, when steeped in your social values that you share from the rooftops, calls in your aligned communities and changemakers. It is a big ask to declare how you want to change the world, but you don’t have to have a massive impact to make a massive change in someone’s life.

You are being called to revolutionize the way you’ve been running your Business to ensure it aligns with your social values. You are being asked to give voice to your inner power. You are being asked to be the change.

Capricorn and Aquarius Empresses, you are especially being called to bring forth social responsibility in your businesses.

New Moon in Aquarius House Activations

The house that contains Aquarius 12° is the area of your business and Work that desires a fresh intention.

Today I plant the seeds for my social impact, in collaboration with my larger communities, to create a lasting difference in the world through my Work’s:

1H (maybe Aquarius Rising): Brand awareness and innovative leadership
2H (maybe Capricorn Rising): Equitable and social justice values
3H (maybe Sagittarius Rising): Genius communications and how I share knowledge
4H (maybe Scorpio Rising): Rebellious emotional truth and safe communities
5H (maybe Libra Rising): Eclectic creative joy, pleasure and purpose
6H (maybe Virgo Rising): Smart automations and ability to delegate with tech
7H (maybe Leo Rising): Collaboration with my change-making, misfit co-creators
8H (maybe Cancer Rising): Innovative ways to transform and leverage liabilities
9H (maybe Gemini Rising): Expansive vision and philosophical changemaking
10H (maybe Taurus Rising): Ultimate mission in my humanitarian work
11H* (maybe Aries Rising): Greater humanitarian impact and community leadership
12H (maybe Pisces Rising): Ability to reform ease and justice for the people

* Important: Each year when you have an 11H activation, this intention sets the stage not only for this area of your Work but it’s an intention that sets you up for your entire next year’s harvest – the annual cycle unique to you that determines your times to work, create, and rest. When you have an 11H New Moon, set an intention based on what you want to harvest for the next calendar year based on what you have just harvested this last month. Was your harvest as productive as you wanted? Or do you need to make changes in your Work?

Mercury Stations Direct – Capricorn 24°

Rethinking crystallizes

How will you crystallize your impactful vision of the future through your Work?

Mercury Rx has stepped on the brakes and shifted gears forward! While Mercury, your thoughts and communications are now moving forward, we aren’t quite done with the full rethinking cycle. You have thought through your social impact and the pragmatic ways to get closer to your vision. Now it’s time to make a strategic plan before you can go full speed ahead. When Mercury leaves the shadow zone on the 24th, you’ll be ready. Use your time strategically.

Mercury Rx Schedule:

12/29/21 Enters shadow zone – Capricorn 24°
1/14/22 Station retrograde – Aquarius 10°
1/23/22 Midpoint combust – Aquarius 3°
2/3/22 Station direct – Capricorn 24°
2/24/22 Leaves shadow zone – Aquarius 10°

Mars sextile Jupiter

5:38 AM PT | 8:38 AM ET

Opportunities for focused expansion

How will you keep your senses open to receive an invitation?

Mars in Capricorn is your focused drive and Jupiter in Pisces is your imaginative expansion. When they meet today in a sextile, an opportunity presents itself. First you must recognize the opportunity, as it may be easy to miss if you aren’t on the lookout. Secondly, you must say yes to the opportunity. A meet up like today has much possibility for action and growth, if you can recognize and accept the invitation.

Sun conjunct Saturn

11:05 AM PT | 2:05 PM ET

Creative Focus

For what unique expertise do you want to be recognized?

The Sun, your creative force and natural talent, and Saturn, your commitment and mastery, meet today in Aquarius, starting a new creative mastery cycle. You can think of this meeting like a New Moon, a time of new beginnings, of clearing the slate between these two energies. Today you get to decide on what you will focus on for the next 6 months that will help you focus on your innovative, creative mastery – your unique approach to what you do. Remember, there is no one else in the world who can do what you do, and how you do it. Focus and commit to this approach.

At the same time, Mars, your motivation and drive, will be aspecting Chiron, the wounded healer, who reminds you that all your past so-called mistakes and challenges, are actually your alchemical gold. The wounds that turn into wisdom are reminders that you are meant to pour into offerings and your unique approach to what you do.

Sun and Saturn at Aquarius 15°

Week of February 6 – February 12, 2022

“An action is the perfection and publication of thought. A right action seems to fill the eye, and to be related to all nature.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

A time for you to see that your power has arrived, activated, and never been stronger. With Mercury conjuncting Pluto this week, and all the planets and Lunar nodes also moving forward, things are speeding up just as your urge to take action. Seize the day — it’s been waiting for you!

February 8, 2022

Fast action day! All planets, and even the Lunar nodes are moving forward today.

2Q Moon Taurus 19°

5:50 AM PT | 8:50 AM ET

Act steadily

What new and consistent tasks can you strategize this week?

It’s the beginning of the week-long 2Q moon phase where the moon gains light from a quarter moon to full. With this waxing, it is perfect timing to grow into your goals and New Moon intentions by taking action. You’ve done your planning, and thinking, and now it’s time to act.

In Taurus and trining all the inner planets (Mercury, Venus and Mars) plus transformational Pluto in Capricorn, the moon is a reminder that your most impactful and personal action is through practical, pragmatic, and tasks that allow for perseverance. You’ve done your prep work, and can now take stable strategic action. Not sure which direction to go? Trust your body to help you make your decisions.

Especially supportive for Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Mars trine Uranus

6:57 AM PT | 9:57 AM ET

A few moments after the 2Q Taurus Moon, Mars, and Uranus get into an exact flow, adding to the momentum of the day. Mars and Uranus love to move quickly, yet with all the Earthy energy there is soundness that wants to be cultivated. Harness this power with steadiness, it may feel like a wild horse with no reins.

Mars Capricorn 11° trine Uranus Taurus 11°

Especially activating for Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

February 11, 2022

Mercury conjunct Pluto

6:04 AM PT | 9:04 AM ET

Your words have power – part 3

What would you like to say to 2021?

Our third and final meet-up for this cycle that initiated on December 29, 2021, and peaked January 28, 2022, now comes to culmination today. Mercury, your ability to comprehend and communicate, and Pluto, your ability to transform and intensify, meet up for the third time with a clear, distilled, and powerful message. Your words have power.

Over the course of this cycle, you were able to reevaluate what’s important in your life and Work to fashion your business in a new way thanks to Venus’s last retrograde. And over the course of the last few weeks, you were able to revise a possibility of a new future and the catalyzing effect your Work would like to have as you write that future.

Now you have a clear understanding of how and what you want to transform, and it’s time to put these thoughts to powerful words to call in your greater communities over your shared vision. Use these words as a manifesto, and share them with whoever will listen. Keep this understanding close to your heart and at the root of all your communications.

You could skip this big ask, but what would you miss? Choose wisely.

Especially compelling for late Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)

Week of February 13 – February 19, 2022

“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.” — Helen Keller

Your perspective will undergo some changes this week, as you expand how you see things and fine-tune how you want to integrate those views. With Mercury reentering Aquarius and the Full Moon in Leo asking for us to release our insecurities and lean into appreciation, it’s a time to hope for the best and believe in your ability to garner it! Reflect on your most optimistic potential during this time that you might’ve not noticed before.

February 14, 2022

Mercury reenters Aquarius

1:54 AM PT | 4:54 AM ET

What new perspectives do you want to give voice to?

Mercury is moving full speed ahead, still retracing its steps forward through the retrograde shadow zone and now has returned to forward-thinking Aquarius. Mercury loves being in Aquarius as he gets to revisit new ideas, thoughts of the future, and hopes for humanity. You get a second chance to clarify your New Year’s goals or resolutions to reconcile anything that has shifted during the last Mercury Retrograde.

Harness this time, now through March 9, when Mercury splashes into illusive Pisces, to galvanize your ideas and goals about the future.

Especially enlightening for Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

February 16, 2022

An opportunistic, illuminated day of joy and creative knowing with the Full Moon in Leo shining the light of the Aquarius Sun, while Venus and Mars, the eternal pair, exactly meet for strategic give and receive.

Mars conjunct Venus Capricorn 16°

6:29 AM PT | 9:29 AM ET

Receptive attunement to your mastery

Venus and Mars have been cheek to cheek most of February and will continue their dance of give and take through March. Usually Venus travels much more quickly than Mars, but because of her recent retrograde cycle, she is a bit slower than usual and Mars is a bit quicker than usual. This eternal pair shows us balance. Venus is our ability to attract the people and resources into our lives and Work, and Mars is our ability to motivate and energize ourselves in going after the things we want. The two go hand in hand, and now they are aligned in a perfect union of reception. In Capricorn, this reception is attuning to your committed, long term, strategic mastery.

Especially receptive for Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricron)

Full Moon Leo 28°

8:56 AM PT | 11:56 AM ET

Shining Bright, Hot, and Whole
Co-written with Natalie Miller

As the Full Moon in Leo takes center stage, every planet in our sky is direct, which compels a Lights, Camera, Action! moment for our truest selves.

It’s time to trust and enjoy the confidence you’re feeling. YES, your Work can be as fun as it is impactful. And YES, your passions can get you paid!!

In the glow of confident Leo, it’s lovely to give and receive compliments. It’s also a great time to appreciate your WHOLE self, including the innermost wisdom that guides you, the deep desires that push you forward, and the uniqueness that isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but sure is delicious to Your People.
To fully self-appreciate, use this lunation to let go of any old stories that you’re not creative or compelling enough. Also: release the hurt that’s come from moments that have wounded your pride, and whisper a thanks for the reminder that as much as you’re a shining star, you’re also an evolving human.

With Venus conjunct Mars in the middle of Capricorn (meeting exactly at Capricorn 16° shortly after the exact Full Moon at 6:29 AM Pacific | 9:29 AM Eastern), there’s an infusion of passion into whatever we’re building. Take note of whatever’s lighting you up and turning you on: that’s where to turn up the heat.

4:14 PM PT | 7:14 PM ET

Awakening social optimism

There is a door that you walk by mostly unnoticed. If you look more closely, you can see it. This door is opportunity. It will open if you choose to see it AND if you choose to knock. Behind that door is a possibility of new connections and new optimism about the future, social causes, and equitable resources. It’s subtle, but there. If you choose to open that door, how will you choose to use this chance?

Sun enters Pisces

8:43 AM PT | 11:43 AM ET

Season of magical possibilities

How can you bring more easeful imagination into your Work?

It’s Pisces season! A time to connect to your Divine, magical self to make life and Work easier, lovelier and in more flow. Life is an illusion, not a delusion, when we are in the game where our reality is created from our dreams and visions. The power of Pisces is to connect with all times, places and spaces with empathy, artistry, love and Spirit. An interconnectedness like no other.

Interconnectedness is about first connecting to your Highest Self, your soul, your Divine Spirit – whatever the name you have for her. Through her, you feel into your work and trust your intuitive business decisions. Through her, you access your vast inner knowing through Piscean efforts like dreaming, imagination, music, imagery, poetry. There is nothing logical about Pisces, so how do you go with the flow this season?

If you have a strong Pisces placement in your chart (Sun, Moon, Rising or Neptune on the Ascendant) you have a dreamy and artistic, musical vibe. Your superpowers are being able to transport yourself and others to other times, places, or spaces through your Work. Your compassion and empathy are your strength. Do not try to understand or logic your abilities, for as you try to grasp them, they will slip through your fingers. Life is an illusion, and you are the illusion creator – a movie director of sorts. What will you magically create?

During this season, may we all choose compassion, empathy, and divine embodiment of flow in our businesses.

For all the Piscean Luminaries, the most loving and flow-y solar return (birthday) to you.

Week of February 20 – February 26, 2022

“All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” — Henry Havelock Ellis

It’s time for you to quantum leap into your next big move this week, and that means letting go of some doubts and leaning into more momentum. Are you ready for the possibilities of what’s to come? Listen carefully to what you are called to say goodbye to — on the other side of what you must shed during this time is the reality you’ve been shifting into for some time now.

February 23, 2022

A day to move your body and let go with Mars in Capricorn aligning with Neptune in Pisces and the 4Q moon. There is so much momentum and ease to create opportunities to let go and flow for integrative freedom.

Move your bones to open up possibility

Mars Capricorn 22° sextile Neptune Pisces 22°

4Q Moon Sagittarius

2:32 PM PT | 5:32 PM ET

Freedom to let go

What will you liberate yourself from in your Work?

Letting go is freedom. Freedom is lightness and truth. This week with the 4Q moon phase, you now know what past patterns, past distrusts, past truths you need to let go for they’ve weighed you down for too long. Trust and lean into the movement of your body in the wake of Mars sextiling Neptune a few hours earlier. Move your bones and feel into what needs letting go.

The last quarter moon phase is an integration phase in our lives and Work. A healing and restorative time to cultivate all that we have learned and assess what we want to continue with and what we want to churn back into the earth as nourishment for the seeds we’ve planted.

February 24, 2022

Just as Mercury leaves the shadow zone, ending the full cycle of our first Mercury Retrograde, it squares off with Uranus for an added zing for full quantum speed ahead.

Mercury leaves Shadow – Aquarius 10°

Your thoughts blast off

If you’ve done your work to revise the future you want to create through your Work, this official ending of the full Mercury Rx cycle gives you a quantum leap into that future. You are ready to fully embrace your desired role in being a Changemaker to take action on your new plan. The stars are on your side and here to give you an energetic boost into that vision. Mercury, along with your vision, is now moving full speed ahead with accuracy and focus.
