February has some of the roughest astro-magic space weather this year. Does that mean everything will be a disaster? Not necessarily. Looking at astrology through the lens of magic is different than reading a birth chart or even doing analysis of how the current astrology impacts any individual or society. That said, unhappy planets are unhappy planets… and we have a lot of those next month.
As someone who does a lot of planetary magic, and indeed who has a whole membership who get magic planners and advice on enchantments, this is kind of a bummer. In preparation, I’ve been thinking about all the kinds of magic that aren’t specifically aligned with astrology… and there are plenty.
If the planets are feeling cranky and tired next month (makes them sound like toddlers who missed a nap) you can still:
- Engage with your ancestors
- Bother some Saints
- Do earth-focused magic (fairies, witchcraft, water and tree spirits)
- Pray, particularly to beings who aren’t planet-aligned
- Cleanse / protect / heal
- Dodge the planets to do some stellar magic
- Do small at-home magics (like pantry blessings)
- Go East and explore magic from further afield (maybe even using Vedic astrology, if that’s your jam)
- Do self-work that makes you a better magician (contract clearing, recapitulation, heart work)
Just time your workings as best as you can and remediate as needed for your chart or the sky.
