Rick Levine's Astrology Forecast for February 2021

THE OLD VERSUS THE NEW! February is all about the dynamic conflict between innovation and the status quo. The first of three stressful squares between conservative Saturn and progressive Uranus on February 17 sets the stage for the entirety of 2021 — and even well into 2022. This month’s forecast begins with a deep dive into understanding the decisions we must make. Simplistically speaking, we are confronted by the choice between holding onto the present by binding it to the past (Saturn) and moving into the future by embracing change (Uranus). However, the lesson of this square is that there are no winners in this grudge match if there are any losers. It might be a difficult pill to swallow, but February represents the opening volley to a contest where everyone is on the same side, whether they realize it or not.

Although Mercury is retrograde until February 20, there is a distinctly futuristic flavor to the month with five planets in Aquarius once Venus leaves Capricorn on February 1. The New Moon on February 11 has six planets in fixed sign Aquarius, several of which square Mars and Uranus in fixed sign Taurus throughout the month. Neither sign wants to give an inch to the other as the stress continues to build. Thankfully, the heated tensions may cool a bit once the Sun enters sensitive Pisces on February 18, followed by Venus on February 25. But an emotionally intense Mars-Pluto trine on February 24 raises the stakes again as we become more entrenched in our individual perspectives. The Virgo Full Moon on February 27 gives us a chance to gain clarity and its trine to unorthodox Uranus indicates the potential for an unexpected breakthrough as we seek resolutions to our differences. But the Full Moon is also quincunx Saturn and Chiron, reminding us that creating a unified front must still acknowledge the complexity of diversity.

Old belief structures from the past are not going to disappear overnight. But resisting the new will not prevent the future from arriving on time. The fear of change is real, as is the fear of no change. Nevertheless, denial is not an option. The Saturn-Uranus square repeats on June 14 and December 23, giving us enough time to face our concerns as we grapple with the cosmic significance of these times. Although the future is uncertain, one thing is for sure: there is no escape. We are all in this together and it is together that we must create solutions to our personal and collective dilemmas.

Bonus points if you noticed that FEBRUARY is missing the "R" in the title slides! I got Mercury Retrograded. 😨

Rick, you bring the thrill to astrology. It makes the month feel packed with growth and triumph. Thanks for another great video.

Finding astrology has kept me sane the past two years. The cosmic energy explanations are priceless.

[colleenmichel]

Truly believe that Astrology has come to the fore in these troubling times. Thanks again for a mind blowing breakdown of what’s to come.

It's so beautiful that you compared it to Yellowstone, nature does have a way of healing itself, even when it seems devastating at first. Thanks, awesome reading.

[marycollins]

The historic perspective is so valuable, we need to learn from cycles and not be bound by history.

[amanterecords]

I love the insights about past influences. It rings a bell and gives an excellent idea of what can we expect. Thanks for your love and wisdom.

@Rick Levine thank you once again for such a well detailed explanation of what's taking place astrologically ... makes a lot of sense with what I've picked up on. In reference to the "good/bad" energy, like you I am also uncomfortable with those terms, yet they are sometimes necessary when describing things to others ... What I like to point out to others is that our greatest teachers are the ones that push us the hardest, they test our faith, push us to search for the truth, open our eyes to the often uncomfortable reality that we had been living in, and show us that the way to find peace and balance may be in an area that we had never thought to look ... In short, Just because someone or something goes against the grain, doesn't necessarily mean that it is a bad thing 😉 We are each responsible for the manner in which we "choose" to respond to those energies 💞

[Restorationdreams]

Thank you Wizard! I love what you had to say here. Especially the very simple fact that we need to be better and want the best for everything on earth. You are a treasure ✨🌈🦋

It was really interesting to listen to the review of all the aspects between Uranus and Saturn historically. I really enjoyed that; it just gave this great picture of Uranus' influences.

[sherriconklin]

Rick you have become one of my favorite Astrology teacher's

[Dread_Pirate_Rolf]

As someone with a lot of natal squares, your explanation of them at the end of this update as made the most sense.

[Msgomore]

Thank you, Rick! You are looking great and your foliage is beautiful, too!

[claudialarsson]

Thank you Rick! So grateful for your work. You’re brilliant and bring so so much more to the astrology table!! Love the mythology component - I’m an old Waldorf parent. Lol.

I appreciate what you said about Aquarius the water brearer not wanting to get wet. The water is contained. Emotons contained. I will never think of Aquarius in quite the same way again. A friend with rising, sun and stelium of planets in Aquarius who to me seems scattered. He has strong sense of being right and sometimes goes off with his theories. but I know him so i don't take it seriously. Also he surrounds himself with volatile friends who I have often thought are his surrogate expressions of his emotions.

[gerriaiudi]

I always make the time for this forecast... thank you for providing it!

[barbaraward]

Thanks Rick. I appreciate the explanations and the historical references of momentous events that occurred in the past when certain planets were at play. I know very little about astrology so your detailed explanation helps.
