Lunar Day 27
An auspicious day in all traditions. The only difference is that Veda doesn't recommend travelling, whilst Globa suggests it is positive for travel, but advises against drinking alcohol.
Vronsky:
The day is good for any work, for planting and sowing, for communication with the people of the older generation. A child born on this day will be too spineless, infirm. From the early age his parents should pay a special attention to his proper upbringing, to the strengthening of his will. Illnesses won't be dangerous. Don't pay attention to dreams.
Globa:
Symbol — a wand. The day of acquiring a hidden knowledge. Meditation, intuitive insight, healing, prayers, verbal magic. One can travel, explore the world. It is better not to look into mirrors. One should not consume alcohol, or fall into illusions.
Lunar Mansion 23, Sa'd Bula (The Fortunate Aviator)
12° 51' 26'' Capricorn – 25° 42' 51'' Capricorn
Good For
Healing. Divorce. Obtaining freedom.
Not Good For
Marriage and personal relationships.
Essence
Conflict, separation, freedom, healing.
Opinions
Warnock: Auspicious for divorce, liberty of captives and health of the sick.
Warnock: When this Mansion appears, it can signify that we are engaged in conflict or soon will be so. It indicates separation, divorce and the end of friendship. We are attempting to meld two factors that are inherently opposite and at odds with each other. Such a combination, this Mansion reveals, will not endure.
Warnock: The Twenty-third Mansion also warns that we are in a situation antithetical to our needs and ill suited to our personality. While this Mansion might be considered malefic, it does serve to compel a break from present circumstances and thus create a space for new beginnings. For example, Sa'd Bula can signify the weakness before recovery in an illness, and thus the painful beginning of the healing process. This Mansion tells us to examine our current situation closely and be willing to break free from an untenable position.
Warnock: Make images to heal illness, to join friends.
Volguine: Exerts a favourable influence for doctors, soldiers, and politicians, but has an unfavourable effect on everything concerning marriage, children, and contracts.
Volguine: The power of securing the favour of superiors, but in a more or less intermittent or capricious manner. It is the indication of a career strewn with strife, envy and jealousy; but which could, however, achieve some success through others.
Agrippa: It makes for divorce, liberty of captives and the health of the sick.
Ashmole 396: When the Moon is in this Mansion, receive medicine. Wear new ornaments and new clothes. Put no thing to keeping. Take your journey the third part of the day. Wed not. Buy no servants. Enter no ship. Take fellowship. If you be sized, you shall soon escape.
Lunar Mansion 24, Sa'd al-Su'ud (The Wretched of the Wretched)
25° 42' 51'' Capricorn – 8° 34' 17'' Aquarius
Good For
Starting a new project. Love and marriage. Increasing income, commerce and finances. Building.
Not Good For
Those in power. Travel by water.
Essence
Nurture and nutrition. Fulfillment.
Opinions
Warnock: This is a Mansion of nurture and nutrition. If we have been hungry, we will now be fed. Needs and desires will be fulfilled. Fortune smiles upon us and showers us with maternal love. Just as mother's milk is perfectly suited for her child's needs, this Mansion indicates we will receive support from a source precisely attuned to our individual needs.
Warnock: This Mansion may herald a literal birth, i.e. the arrival of a new baby. But it can also signify the beginning of a fruitful project or the creation of new art or ideas. It indicates a positive answer to questions regarding the approach of good fortune. It advises us to act in a loving and nurturing way. Overall, this Mansion is most benefic. However, it occasionally cautions us to avoid being smothered in an all consuming "maternal" atmosphere.
Warnock: Make images to increase merchandise and make a profit out of it, to have goodwill between husband and wife, for soldiers to report victory over enemies ... for the increase of herds.
Volguine: The sign of an eventful and ultimately rather unhappy career. Clearly unfavorable to those responsible for the administration of a country or a city; the higher the position a man occupies in society, the more the unfavourable nature of the mansion makes itself felt. In horary charts it is nevertheless considered favourable for marriage, plans, enterprises, and friendships.
Volguine: Promotes everything having to do with constructions in general and especially the construction of houses. A very great deal of prudence is required in travel by water, which this mansion disfavors.
Volguine: Favorable, if the native acts with prudence; but capable of completely overturning his existence, if he tends to act too quickly and carelessly.
Agrippa: It is prevalent for the benevolence of married folk, for the victory of soldiers, it hurts the execution of government, and hinders that it may not be exercised.
Ashmole 396: When the Moon is in this Mansion, do no commerce, buy no ornaments, wear no new clothes. Take no wife. Take medicines. Send your knights and your hosts. Buy servants. Enter no ship. Take no new fellowship. If you be seized, you shall soon be delivered.

Applying Moon Sextile Neptune
People may show more sensitivity now. Intuition, insight, and compassion are in the air.
Applying Mercury Sextile Jupiter
School, travel and transportation, and legal matters are themes now. It’s a time for exploration and learning.
Applying Venus Sextile Pluto
Social situations open up and accords are reached. It’s a time for sharing and participation with groups for mutual benefits.
Applying Mars Square Neptune
The motivations, actions, and initiatives of some people may seem questionable now. People tend to be driven more by ideology or beliefs than by reality. At worst, there is name calling, confusion over remarks, weak or deceptive leadership, and sometimes fires or other disasters. Often there is more smoke than fire.
Jupiter void in Aries
Moral and legal matters assume prominence and are used to justify broad-sweeping actions. Decisions that have required long and careful thought, or have been dragged out, are finally made. Growth trends reach a peak or a set of limits. This may be a time to sell, or buy, depending on where trends have been leading. Confidence is high but it is volatile. Important decisions or spiritual events may make news now.
Saturn void in Aquarius
Formalities are the rule; traditions are maintained. Groups of old friends, family, and comrades assemble to remember the past. Conservatism rules; experiments fail. At this time leaders are under pressure and laws are put into effect. It’s a time for staying with tradition and not experimenting with new forms of social behaviors. The past triumphs.
Uranus void in Taurus
Actions are unconventional, radical, or surprising. Not everyone agrees on how things should go, therefore there is discord within groups. Others, who have a specific agenda, persevere to make their point despite fierce opposition. Social conditions are volatile now. The bottom could fall out. It’s a time for experimentation and deviant behaviors. Sudden, unusual, and disruptive conditions occur now that reveal deep inequalities in society and culture.
Neptune void in Pisces
Trends are unclear. Not everything is known, there is much to suspect. The fabric of reality seems to be ripped asunder. Faith in leadership is low. Social and economic conditions are unstable and subject to devaluations. The future looks uncertain and no one is taking any chances. Beliefs about reality are challenged. Some feel overwhelmed, even flooded, literally and figuratively.
Pluto void in Capricorn
There is movement toward displaying outright power. Tolerance and patience are pushed aside in favor of drastic actions. Old wounds are reopened and confrontations forced. Power plays occur. Secret forces make their presence known. Some seek to act on their urges, others attempt to stop them. Deep secrets are revealed. A collective cleansing is in order.
FEBRUARY 17
The void Moon occurs from 11:18 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius the next day, Saturday, February 18th, at 12:35 AM EST.

This week: The Sun is in Aquarius until the 18th, when it enters Pisces; Mercury is in Aquarius; Venus is in Pisces; Mars is in Gemini.
The Sun is in Aquarius from January 20-February 18. During this cycle, we are motivated by our hunger for knowledge, experience, and originality. Innovation is more important to us than convention. We become more aware of what is outdated in our lives, and strive to find new perspectives and new ways to do things. The class distinctions, structure, and order that Capricorn finds appealing now seem to be too rigid. The freedom of the individual becomes far more significant to us. We strive to free ourselves from some of the restrictions, inhibitions, and limitations that now feel constraining rather than safe.
We recognize those things that are obsolete or outdated, and we’re ready to change the world with new ideas and methods. We might often let our heads rule over our hearts during this cycle, preferring an objective, impersonal, and rational approach to life.
The Sun is in Pisces from February 18-March 20. With the Sun in Pisces, we are guided by altruistic feelings. We are less motivated to do than we are to feel, imagine, and dream. A “what will be, will be” attitude reigns, and we are guided by a sense of universal correlations. Pisces rules empathy, selfless love, devotion, and wisdom. Its shadow side can include self-pity, a feeling of being victimized by life, passivity, and elusiveness.
While we may not always verbalize our feelings and impressions during this cycle, they’re strong and motivating. We prefer to believe and trust, giving things/people the benefit of the doubt until they prove us wrong. We might often tune out problems or conflicts rather than tackle them head on, hoping they will iron themselves out. Prosperity flows when we’re connecting with our heart, being kind, and helping others. The need to withdraw or retreat to restore our energy is strong from time to time.
Mercury is in Aquarius from February 11-March 2. When Mercury is in Aquarius, we are hungry for knowledge and open to new and original ideas. We begin to think outside of the box, and our thinking becomes more progressive and objective. Our communication and thought patterns are spontaneous, somewhat fragmented, reasonable, objective, and liberal. This is a time when inventive thinking is at a peak.
We’re reasonable, finding it easier to separate intellect and emotion when assessing a situation. Although progressive-minded and receptive to new studies and information, we are not quick to sway from our ideas and beliefs. During this cycle, we take more interest in thinking that’s daring or original. As we envision a better future, we can come up with truly interesting ideas and concepts.
Venus is in Pisces from January 26-February 20. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.
Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.
Money may slip through our fingers, or we could turn a blind eye to some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.
This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.
Mars is in Gemini from August 20, 2022-March 25, 2023. [This is much longer than usual due to a Mars retrograde cycle from October 30, 2022-January 12, 2023.]
In Gemini, Mars is versatile and flexible but not especially determined or focused. We should watch for becoming so scattered that we’re ineffective. However, it’s an excellent period for diversifying our interests and understanding the power of our communications.
It’s an excellent time for strategizing and devising useful tactics to achieve our desires and goals. We’re resourceful and clever, and we know how to use words effectively.
Perhaps most notable during this period is our tactical skills. We know how to maneuver things to get our way. We use words to charm and express anger. We’re very talkative, and animatedly so, when passionate and enthusiastic about a topic.
Jupiter is in Aries.
Jupiter was in Aries from May 10 to October 28, 2022 before it retreated into Pisces. This was part one of two, with the second and final part occurring from December 20, 2022, to May 16, 2023. Read more about Jupiter’s transit of Aries.
Saturn transits Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020, and from December 17th, 2020, until March 7, 2023. Read about Saturn’s transit of Aquarius.
Uranus is in Taurus.
Uranus transits Taurus from May 15, 2018, to November 6, 2018, and then from March 6th, 2019, until 2025/6. We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn to free ourselves from certain material constraints. Innovative ways to make ourselves comfortable emerge. We’re less inhibited about expressing sensuality, self-love, body love, and pampering. Above all, we’re challenging what we previously valued during this cycle.
There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. In general, we’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money, are likely. Our income and the energy we put into making money can be variable.
Romance & Relationships
Venus is in Pisces from January 26-February 20. Like Aquarius, Pisces love is universal. However, Pisces draws no bounds in love. With Venus in Pisces, we have compassion (and perhaps attraction) for those who are left out, overlooked, or victimized. We are self-sacrificing, and we have a hard time setting up borders. The walls go down, we have a hard time saying no (especially if our compassion is engaged), but we are also prone to avoiding all that makes us feel uncomfortable.
Wishful thinking is one expression of Venus in Pisces. We can too easily believe what we want to believe. People can be hard to pin down, and love is hard to define under this influence. Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach nevertheless, as there is a longing for something that is hard to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deluded, as well as evasiveness.
This week: On Tuesday and Wednesday, a yearly alignment between Venus and Neptune occurs, and we’re especially sensitive to and aware of beauty and spirituality. We’re seducible and can be seductive. This is a psychically open time, but also a period when we may be seeing what we want to see rather than what is. It can be a highly romantic time, and we can be more understanding and compassionate with one another. This energy is even stronger with these planets also parallel.
On Thursday, we’re optimistic and ready to take a chance or give someone or something the benefit of the doubt. However, we should watch for overextension. It’s best not to overstate or make big promises based only on the good mood of the moment.
On Saturday, we seek a deep love in which we can merge souls and personalities with our lover. We are quite devoted to our partners, and we seek such devotion in return. A Venus-Pluto sextile supports intimacy, understanding, and depth in our connections. This is a strong week for relationships.
Venus, the Goddess of Love: Highlights in the Coming Week:
Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.
Venus contra-parallel Chiron February 8. Others, and especially partners and love interests, have something to teach us. This is a time for identifying vulnerable areas.
Venus conjunct Neptune February 14-15. New and fresh beginnings on romantic levels characterize this transit. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality. We are easily influenced, seducible and seductive, and given to strong powers of imagination. We are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance. Gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy. A “magical” time on a romantic and social level, but it could also be a confusing or illusory influence as well. Psychic openness and compassion.
Venus parallel Neptune February 14-15. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality. We are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance. We more naturally embrace compassion. Psychic openness.
Venus contra-parallel Jupiter February 16. We’re optimistic and ready to take a chance or give someone or something the benefit of the doubt. We are able to make the best of a situation now. Watch for overextension. It’s best not to overstate or make big promises based only on the good mood of the moment.
Venus sextile Pluto February 18-19. Subtly powerful and uplifting time for romantic/sexual relationships. New insights into relationships and love. Strong attractions.
As it orbits the Sun, Venus shows phases like the Moon. When it is closest to the Earth, passing between us and the Sun, Venus appears almost entirely unilluminated. When it passes around the far side of the Sun, its disk appears almost completely illuminated. When it is prominent in the morning or evening sky, Venus is around half phase.
Sun semi-square Jupiter. We may feel vague restlessness and discontent with life as it is. We want more, but perhaps too much. Overestimation, wastefulness, and exaggeration. Elevated moods, but unstable ones, as they may not be based on reality.
Mars sesquiquadrature Pluto. Our desires are intense and difficult to satisfy under this influence. A tendency to bully and confront may dominate. Efforts to make changes could be thwarted, or power struggles emerge. The trick is to remain flexible and to develop strategies for achieving our goals.
Venus conjunct Neptune. New and fresh beginnings on creative levels characterize this transit. Heightened sensitivity to, and awareness of, beauty and spirituality. We are easily influenced, seducible and seductive, and given to strong powers of imagination. We are more attuned to the world of beauty and romance today. Gentleness with others is the best way to harness this energy. A “magical” time on a romantic and social level, but it could also be a confusing or illusory influence as well. Psychic openness and compassion.
Sun conjunct Saturn. This is a time when we are called upon to “get real”. We feel the constraints of time and are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. It’s “nose to the grindstone” time. We may feel overworked; alternatively, we welcome some discipline into our lives. Avoid launching new projects, particularly financial ones. Instead, work on a new plan for creating order in your life, or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being; thus we could feel sapped on a physical level. However, making new commitments to old goals, shouldering responsibilities, and making careful use of our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives.
Sun semi-square Chiron. The desire to learn and grow through experiences and through others is strong, but may be hampered by a lack of confidence or a fear of being different.
Mercury semi-square Neptune. We are not thinking clearly, preferring to daydream. Technical facts can be glossed over at this time. It’s not a good time to make a presentation, to ask for what you want, or to formalize agreements.
Mercury sextile Jupiter. Positive thinking, new insights, and cooperation are themes now. This influence favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, submitting applications and forms, test taking, and making diagnoses and observations. This is a time when we more readily exercise good judgment, take a more philosophical approach to thinking, and are more open to learning.

February 2023:
February 2023: Void of Course Moon Table of Dates & Times
When the Moon is in Leo
The Moon in Leo speaks to our "inner child". It's a warm, generous, whole-heartedly loving position. Pride keeps us from pettiness, but it can also prevent us from opening up and revealing how we are truly feeling. We are on stage, our feelings are grand, and we appreciate some drama in our lives. We are easily threatened by anything that seems to be impersonal. This is a time when we seek attention--when we want to stand out for our special qualities. It's a strong time for romance and any creative activity as well.
The Moon in Leo generally favors the following activities: Creative activities, activities involving children, generous undertakings, undertakings in which personal recognition is desired, and risk-taking.
When the Moon is in Virgo
We instinctually gravitate towards practical activities under the influence of a Virgo Moon. In an urge to set things right, we might easily find ourselves re-organizing and rethinking plans. Emotional satisfaction comes from solving problems, making order out of confusion, and helping others. Health matters might come into focus. We notice the smaller parts that make up the whole, and instead of letting nagging details bother us, we might work on ironing them out so that we can feel more confident moving ahead.
The Moon in Virgo generally favors the following activities: Mental pursuits, work activities, services, and routines. Activities that would benefit from tending to details.
When the Moon is in Libra
Creating order is the focus, not necessarily through tidying or organizing as was the case while the Moon was in Virgo, but rather through pleasing interactions with others and aesthetics in our environment. We tend to solve problems through diplomacy, and we are more able to put aside our own emotions in order to achieve the peace we crave. The tendency now is to avoid direct confrontations. Decisions do not come easily. Seeing both sides to any given situation is the main reason for hesitation. Fear of losing others' approval is another.
The Moon in Libra generally favors the following activities: Relationship and partnership issues, activities involving teamwork and cooperation, activities that involve self-examination, activities related to beauty.
When the Moon is in Scorpio
Intensity is what the Moon in Scorpio is all about. Whether it's passion, elation, sorrow, or desire, emotions are felt on a deeply personal level. We are motivated by the desire to get to the bottom of things, and we instinctively read between the lines. Superficiality won't work for us now. The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power, and it's an excellent time to rid ourselves of old fears and limiting habits. It can be an intimate and passionate time. Avoid manipulative tactics, brooding, and suspiciousness.
The Moon in Scorpio generally favors the following activities: Taxes, accounting, intimacy issues, psychological examinations, research, self-examination, getting rid of old things.
When the Moon is in Sagittarius
The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don't want to plan ahead, and prefer to "wing it".
The Moon in Sagittarius generally favors the following activities: Adventurous activities that involve "winging it", travel, higher education, starting publishing projects, advertising, sports, physical activity.
When the Moon is in Capricorn
We become aware of the need for structure and planning ahead. We also instinctively are aware of the limitations of time. We are motivated by a desire for success. Achievement and manifestation are most important to us now. We are resourceful and don't want to waste time, energy, or resources. This can be a very sober influence--even a depressing one. However, it can also be a productive time when we look reality in the eye.
The Moon in Capricorn generally favors the following activities: Long-term activities that yield slow but steady results, practical undertakings, career issues, making a business plan, practical investments.
When the Moon is in Aquarius
Attraction to all that is new and unusual, and an instinctive need for improvement, characterize the Moon in Aquarius. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional, and interactions are more impersonal than personal, under this influence. This is a time that promotes social gatherings, dealing with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas, and progressive changes. We are open to new methods of doing things and we have our eye on the future. It can be hard to stick to schedules now, as personal freedom is most important to us.
The Moon in Aquarius generally favors the following activities: Unusual or radical undertakings, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, joining a group.

Last Quarter Moon
The LAST QUARTER MOON occurs on Monday, February 13th, 2023, at 16:01. Monday, the Last Quarter Moon is exact when the Sun in Aquarius forms a square with the Moon in Scorpio.
The Last Quarter Moon phase points to some sort of crisis of consciousness. After basking in the awareness symbolized by the full light of the Moon at the time of the recent Full Moon, we disperse our knowledge and come to a point when we need to sort out what works for us–and what doesn’t–in preparation for next week’s New Moon, when something new is born once again.
This is not the best time to start a major project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes a descent into unconsciousness. It’s time to begin finishing up the details of that which was conceived at the last New Moon. We might consider what our recent revelations mean to us, and what we might do as a result.
It’s better to review and sort than to push something new. Until the New Moon, we might take inventory, tie up loose ends, and let go if necessary.

The Air element is the masculine or yang energy representing the breath or prana - the realm of ideas and archetypal associations that link the physical and non-physical world together. It corresponds to the Jungian typology of Thinking. All forms of relationship and thought fall within its purview. Air people tend to live in their heads, being logical and scientific, as well as curious about what is around them and detached in their outlook. They dream the world into being with their future-oriented conceptions. They choose all parties to a dispute rather than taking sides, and thus provide the social linkage that can join disparate groups to each other.
The mode of Aquarius is Fixed.
Fixed signs are in-taking rather than outgoing, receptive rather than originating. People with many Fixed signs tend to be stubborn and difficult to sway from their intended course of action.
The ruling planets of Aquarius are Uranus and Saturn.
Uranus is the planet of freedom and revolutionary vision, the urge for change and the ability to visualize new possibilities. Uranus rules Aquarius, and is exalted in Scorpio. It is also associated with mental studies, electricity and astrology. Its position indicates the arena of originality and freedom from conventional thinking in your life.
Saturn is the planet of limitation and contraction, and the trials of life experience. This includes disciplive, punctuality, and the conservation of material resources. Saturn rules Capricorn and is exalted in Libra, and is limited and material, versus unlimited faith (as represented by Jupiter). It indicates areas where the personality will be restricted by fears and lack of confidence, and also areas which are important to be worked on in this lifetime.

Sun in Aquarius This is a time when your path of self-development and expression becomes more and more unusual – setting you apart from the crowd and from all that is traditional. The new, the futuristic, the high-tech are the hallmarks of your lifestyle as the cycle gets underway. Ideas and technologies that change the way people live – not just one person, but many – are a major new focus in your life. Involvement with ideals and idealistic groups enhances your sense of purpose and mission.
Sun in Pisces The mystic, the martyr, the sinner, and the saint: these archetypes take on greater importance in your life at a time like this. Forgiveness, compassion, and understanding come naturally, when you look at life from an eternal perspective – and if anyone ever does know such things, you’ll probably come to understand them as this cycle unfolds. This can be a phase of sublime spiritual development, to be sure. But you should be aware of tendencies to believe too quickly, too deeply, or to become dependent on things or people that seem to offer quick and easy answers to life’s deepest yearnings.
Mercury in Aquarius The tried and true doesn’t cut it anymore: it’s the new, the unique, and the original that catches and holds your interest now. Idealism, rationality, and critical thinking become more and more a part of your mental patterns and the way you communicate. You are inventive, original, high tech.
Venus in Pisces A martyr complex, a love for the underdog, a search for your soul mate: such are the experiences associated with the new cycle you’re now just beginning. A yen for soul-stirring romance, a weakness for the weak, and a tendency to idealize people and relationships … very aesthetic, very other-worldly.
Mars in Gemini Learning, communicating, the exchange of ideas: these are the experiences you crave as a means to make your mark now, as a new phase begins in your life. You’re a person with something to say, and you realize that others have information that is essential to your goals. A time of much mental energy and initiative … perhaps with an element of conflict tossed in for good measure.
Jupiter in Aries Faith in yourself and your future is emphasized as you begin this new cycle. A feeling that anything is possible leads to new ventures, a clean break from the past. At its best, this is a very positive and optimistic new cycle in your life, but at times, overconfidence can border on foolhardy bravery. Don’t burn your bridges behind you!
Saturn in Aquarius Ideals are in for a period of testing, as a new phase begins in your life. What are principles worth, unless they are put into practice? That’s an important question for you now. This could mean you may be disappointed by causes you believe in – but if you abandon your principles, you lose.
Uranus in Taurus Practicality and ingenuity combine as powerful drives in your life now that you have begun a new cycle. Taking innovative concepts and making them real and practical is your strong suit; getting stuck in the mud is to be avoided at all costs. Financial savvy, inventiveness, worldly genius.
Neptune in Pisces Things spiritual and psychic take the driver’s seat of your imagination as you begin a new cycle. The fine arts and all manner of fantasies assume a larger-than-life importance. Surrendering to fate, karma, and other powers greater than merely mortal may be seen as the ultimate liberation. If all is Maya (illusion), what is the reality that gives rise to the world of appearances?
Pluto in Capricorn As this new phase dawns for you, the pursuit of social/political power and status has a way of seeming necessary and inevitable – and let nothing stand in its way. It starts out small but has bigger consequences than you’d think. Ambition, responsibility, a place for everyone, and everyone in their place…

OBSERVER LA COMÈTE C/2022 E3 (ZTF)
Février 2023 va être marqué par le passage d’une comète qui sera visible tout au long du mois, même si son éclat ne permettra de la percevoir que faiblement à l’œil nu.
On sera donc loin d’une C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) (visible en avril 1997) ou d’une C/2020 F3 (NEOWISE) (visible en juillet 2020) qui ont illuminé le ciel pendant quelques semaines lors de leur passage.
Cette comète visible ce mois-ci s’appelle C/2022 E3 (ZTF). Elle a été découverte le 2 mars 2022 par le télescope de Schmidt de 1,2 m de l’observatoire du mont Palomar. L’acronyme ZTF provient du programme d’observation, le Zwicky Transient Facility, qui surveille les objets rapides, types astéroïdes ou comètes, de notre système solaire. Lors de sa découverte, la comète avait une magnitude de 17. L’absence de coma l’a d’abord fait identifier comme un astéroïde, mais des observations complémentaires ont révélé sa nature cométaire. Les éléments d’orbite actuellement connus permettent de calculer qu’elle a fait un dernier passage il y a 50 000 ans (± 3 000 ans) et que son passage actuel va lui fournir une énergie de mouvement qui va la faire quitter notre système solaire après ce passage en 2023. Dans le passé, elle était stockée, comme des milliards d’autres noyaux de comètes, dans le nuage de Oort, à environ 1 année-lumière du Soleil.
Lors de sa découverte en mars 2022, elle se rapprochait du Soleil et venait de croiser l’orbite de Jupiter. Elle était alors à 4,3 au de notre étoile. Elle est passée au périhélie, soit au point de son orbite le plus proche du Soleil, le 12 janvier 2023 à 19 h (UT). Elle n’était plus qu’à 1,11 au de ce dernier. Sa magnitude avoisinait alors 7.
Du fait de cette proximité, elle évacuait alors entre 1 et 2 tonnes de vapeur d’eau par seconde. À titre de repère, c’est 5 fois plus que ce qui avait été constaté pour la comète 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, rendue célèbre pour avoir été visitée en 2014 par la sonde européenne Rosetta.
En s’éloignant du Soleil, C/2022 E3 (ZTF) a la bonne idée de se rapprocher de la Terre dont elle sera au plus près – périgée - le 1er février 2023 à 18 h (UT), à seulement 42,5 millions de kilomètres. Sa magnitude devrait alors osciller entre 4 et 5. En théorie, elle devrait donc être visible à l’œil. Cependant, alors que la comète sera située ce jour-là entre l’étoile Polaire et l’étoile Capella, une Lune située non loin dans les Gémeaux et à 4 jours de la pleine lune va rendre cette observation bien difficile. Il est donc conseillé d’attendre que la Lune décroisse et s’éloigne de la comète.
Notons que C/2022 E3 (ZTF) va traverser le ciel d’hiver sur une trajectoire quasiment nord-sud tout au long des mois de février et de mars. Sa progression sera rapide du 1er février – elle sera alors dans la Girafe – jusque vers le 20 février – elle sera alors dans le Taureau, dans le prolongement au nord-ouest (en haut à droite) de la ceinture d’Orion. Ensuite, et durant tout le mois de mars, elle plongera lentement dans l’Éridan, à droite de la constellation d’Orion.
En février, la comète va nous offrir trois conjonctions remarquables :
- Dans la nuit du 5 au 6 février, elle va d’abord passer très près de l’étoile Capella dans la constellation du Cocher.
- Dans la nuit du 10 au 11 février, elle croisera la planète Mars, à environ 2 degrés.
- Le 14 février, elle rendra visite à l’amas ouvert des Hyades en frôlant l’étoile Aldébaran.
Outre qu’ils permettront de la trouver facilement, ces rapprochements seront aussi l’occasion de photographier l’astre chevelu à proximité de beaux repères célestes.
Comment observer cette comète ?
Les prédictions d’éclat nous indiquent que sa magnitude devrait osciller entre 4,8 et 7 en février, le maximum intervenant bien sûr en tout début de mois du fait de son passage au périgée, alors qu’elle devrait avoisiner la magnitude 8 à la fin du mois. Comme écrit précédemment, la présence de la Lune va hélas perturber la période la plus favorable du début de mois. Il sera assez compliqué de la localiser à l’œil nu à cause d’un fond de ciel rendu très brillant par l’éclat lunaire. On optimisera ses chances de l’observer en privilégiant la période du début de soirée du 8 février avant le lever de la lune au 25 février après son coucher, la période optimale pour l’admirer en soirée se situant entre le dernier quartier (13 février) et 48 h après la nouvelle lune (22 février).
Considérant son éclat, l’observation à l’œil nu sera probablement très décevante. Comme bien souvent avec les comètes, les jumelles vont s’avérer être un excellent instrument. En offrant un champ large et lumineux, des 7 × 50 (grossissement de 7 fois et lentilles de 50 mm de diamètre), 10 × 50 ou 12 × 50 permettront de voir la coma et éventuellement une ou deux queues (plasma et poussières). Avec une lunette (80 à 120 mm) ou un télescope (115 à 200 mm), on aura suffisamment de lumière pour distinguer une forme particulière, ainsi que d’éventuels détails dans la coma, mais aussi dans les queues si elles sont assez brillantes.
L’observation des comètes peut en effet être source de surprise. Si certains astres ont pu grandement décevoir, comme C/2012 S1 (ISON), il arrive parfois que des comètes offrent une activité plus importante que prévue. Dès lors, le noyau étant beaucoup plus actif, le nuage de gaz, d’eau et de débris évacué par la comète est beaucoup plus grand et dense que prévu. Vue depuis la Terre, ce nuage étant éclairé par le Soleil, la comète devient bien plus brillante et peut montrer plus de détails, comme C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) qui offrait en 1997 deux queues bien visibles à l’œil nu. Croisons les doigts : peut-être que C/2022 E3 (ZTF) nous offrira pareille surprise… ?!
MARS DANS LE DOS DE LA LUNE
Cette fois-ci aura été la bonne. Après celle de décembre, qui s’est passée en catimini derrière les nuages en métropole, celle de janvier s’est déroulée dans le ciel clair de La Réunion. Les observateurs réunionnais s’en sont donnés à cœur joie ce 3 janvier 2023 pour assister à la première occultation planétaire de l’année, celle de Mars par la Lune.
Mars abordait la Lune par son limbe plongé dans la nuit lunaire, il était donc possible d’obtenir la courbe de lumière du phénomène, c’est-à-dire la variation de la lumière renvoyée par la planète Mars tout au long de son immersion derrière le limbe lunaire.
La figure 1 montre un chapelet d’images faites au foyer d’un C8 équipé d’un réducteur de focale de 0,63 à l’aide d’un APN 1100d doté d’un capteur CMOS avec un temps de pose de 1/2500 s. L’échelle du pixel sur le ciel est de 0,85″, ce qui donne un champ de 60,5′× 40,3′. La planète Mars est parfaitement résolue (diamètre apparent de 14″). À noter, la trajectoire relative légèrement incurvée de Mars rapportée au centre de la Lune (visible également sur la prédiction correspondante du phénomène, fig. 2). Le C8 était monté en parallèle avec le télescope T60 de l’Observatoire des Makes qui a servi à l’obtention de la courbe de lumière donnant la variation d’éclat de Mars au moment de l’immersion (voir fig. 5), débarrassé de toute pollution lumineuse en provenance de la Lune.
L’image de la figure 3 correspond à l’instant exact auquel Mars a perdu la moitié de sa lumière. Elle a été réalisée par Quentin Gineys au foyer d’un C11 à l’aide d’une caméra Asi224mc avec un pixel de 0,26″ et un temps de pose de 1/1000 s. Autre image faite à l’aide d’un C11, celle de Pierre Thierry à l’Observatoire des Makes (fig. 4).
Deux courbes de lumière furent obtenues à partir de ces observation faites en deux endroits différents de l’île. Les instants de contact varient d’un lieu à l’autre en raison du fort effet de parallaxe engendré par la proximité de la Lune. La prédiction des instants du premier contact (extérieur et intérieur) est reportée en traits interrompus sur la figure 5. Ces instants de prédictions ont été calculés en admettant un modèle lunaire légèrement aplati (le rayon équatorial est alors supérieur d’un peu moins de 2 km au rayon polaire). Les légers écarts entre la prédiction et l’observation s’expliquent par la forme non lisse de la Lune dont le profil lunaire présente des aspérités (plaines et montagnes). Cela se voit plus nettement sur la courbe obtenue au T60 pour laquelle l’instant du premier contact survient 2 secondes plus tôt que la prédiction. De telles observations, outre leur intérêt esthétique évident, peuvent ainsi révéler une autre « face cachée de la Lune », celle où la Lune n’est pas cette sphère parfaitement lisse, mais bien un corps céleste avec une forme légèrement aplatie (du fait de sa rotation propre) et un relief marqué.
Les prochaines opportunités pour La Réunion surviendront le 5 mai 2024, pour une occultation de Mars par la Lune, mais avec diamètre apparent de 5″ seulement, et le 24 juillet 2024 pour l’occultation de Saturne par la Lune.

Bruce Willis diagnosed with dementia: family
Feb 16 2023
Bruce Willis has been a fixture on the small and large screen since the 1980s, coming to public prominence in the TV series 'Moonlighting'
Los Angeles (AFP) - Action star Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with untreatable dementia, his family said Thursday, less than a year after he retired from acting because of growing cognitive difficulties.
The 67-year-old US actor known for his role in the “Die Hard” franchise stepped away from Hollywood in March and has been out of the limelight since then.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia,” a statement said.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an umbrella term for disorders affecting the areas of the brain that deal with personality, behavior and language.
“Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces,” the family statement said. “While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
“Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead.”
Doctors say the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain shrink in a patient with FTD.
What causes this to happen is not known, but it can result in personality changes, or modifications in behavior that might make someone socially inappropriate, impulsive or apparently uncaring towards those around them.
Other sufferers lose their ability to use language.
The Mayo Clinic says FTD can begin between the ages of 40 and 65, and is the cause of up to a fifth of all dementia cases.
The family statement, signed by Willis’ current wife, Emma Heming Willis, as well as former wife, actress Demi Moore, and his children Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn, said the actor had always worked to raise awareness about important issues.
“We know in our hearts that -– if he could today – he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families,” it said.
Willis has been a fixture on the small and large screen since the 1980s, coming to public prominence in the TV series “Moonlighting.”
But it was as hard-bitten hero John McClane in “Die Hard” that he became a bankable major star of the cinema, sparking a career that has generated billions of dollars of box office revenue.
Despite the tough-guy image, he has also had much success with more family-friendly fare, and provided the voice for the baby in the popular “Look Who’s Talking.”
Another of his best-known roles was as the dead person that child actor Haley Joel Osment could see in “The Sixth Sense.”
Reaction from the entertainment industry was swift.
“Love you so much my friend,” wrote “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul on Rumer Willis’ Instagram. “Sending hugs to you and that beautiful family of yours. Your pops is such a damn legend.”

Un garde de l'ambassade britannique emprisonné pour espionnage au profit de Moscou
17 février 2023
L'ancien garde de sécurité de l'ambassade a déclaré qu'il voulait embarrasser le Royaume-Uni
Londres (AFP) - Un ancien agent de sécurité de l'ambassade du Royaume-Uni à Berlin, qui a reconnu avoir espionné pour Moscou, a été emprisonné vendredi pendant plus de 13 ans en vertu de la loi sur les secrets officiels.
David Ballantyne Smith, 58 ans, a été pris dans une opération d'infiltration après avoir transmis des documents sensibles à l'ambassade de Russie en Allemagne.
L'emprisonnant pendant 13 ans et deux mois au tribunal d'Old Bailey, dans le centre de Londres, le juge Mark Wall lui a dit : "Vous avez été payé par la Russie pour votre trahison".
"Votre motif en les aidant (les Russes) était de nuire aux intérêts britanniques", a-t-il ajouté.
Le juge, qui avait précédemment rejeté les affirmations de Smith selon lesquelles il n'avait transmis des informations à Moscou que deux fois pour causer "l'embarras" au Royaume-Uni, a décrit son infraction comme "étendue et grave" et a déclaré qu'il n'avait montré aucun remords réel.
Il a dit à Smith que sa culpabilité était "élevée", avait copié une "quantité importante de documents au fil des ans" et mis le personnel de l'ambassade en danger.
Le vétéran militaire, originaire de Paisley dans l'ouest de l'Écosse, avait travaillé à l'ambassade de Berlin pendant cinq ans.
Les procureurs ont déclaré plus tôt que Smith avait écrit pour la première fois à l'ambassade de Russie en 2020, révélant des détails sur le personnel de l'ambassade britannique et suggérant de nouveaux contacts.
Après que les autorités britanniques et allemandes ont découvert cela, elles ont conçu un complot pour tenter d'attraper Smith en flagrant délit.
- Faux espions -
Smith a appris qu'un citoyen russe du nom de Dmitry - en réalité un agent britannique - voulait se rendre à l'ambassade britannique pour transmettre des informations sensibles.
Smith a ensuite copié des images de vidéosurveillance de "Dmitry" à l'intérieur de l'ambassade et a pris l'emballage d'une carte SIM de téléphone qui lui avait été remise.
Un autre agent britannique a ensuite approché Smith en se faisant passer pour "Irina", un agent du service de renseignement militaire russe GRU.
Dans une vidéo secrète, on entend Smith lui dire : « Je ne fais pas confiance aux salauds pour lesquels je travaille » et « Je ne veux pas être en Allemagne. Je suis coincé au pays des bâtards nazis ».
Il a été arrêté dans son appartement peu de temps après en août 2021, puis extradé vers le Royaume-Uni.
Smith a déclaré au tribunal cette semaine qu'il se sentait "honteux" lorsqu'il a vu le personnel de l'ambassade britannique qu'il avait trahi.
Il a affirmé qu'il avait seulement voulu causer "des désagréments et de l'embarras".
Mais le tribunal a appris que Smith avait par la suite réalisé plusieurs vidéos de zones sensibles à l'intérieur du bâtiment de l'ambassade.
La procureure Alison Morgan a déclaré que Smith avait filmé les bureaux en détail, montrant leurs emplacements précis.
Elle lui a demandé : "Qui réalisait ces vidéos ?"
Smith a déclaré: "Personne du tout" et a affirmé qu'il était ivre à l'époque.
Il a nié avoir été payé, mais environ 800 euros (environ 857 dollars) en espèces ont été retrouvés à son domicile, sans qu'on puisse en rendre compte, a déclaré le tribunal.
Smith est marié à une Ukrainienne qui est retournée dans son pays d'origine en 2018.
