Aquarius New Moon is Feb 9 or 10 depending on your time Zone
This New Moon begins the Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year of the Wood Dragon and
the Imbolc Cross-Quarter!

Dragons are associated with supernatural power, good luck, wisdom, strength, hidden knowledge, protection, and transformation.

In the context of the ascension process the dragon as an animal totem or power animal representing the inner strength and resilience needed to navigate spiritual growth and transformation.

You might have dragon as a totem even if you weren’t born in the year of the dragon. In a dragon year this is great time to cultivate and deepen your relationship to the Dragon energies.

Dragons remind us we are powerful and can achieve anything we want. Obstacles are opportunities for you to shine. Change is a natural part of life and dragons encourage us to embrace it instead of resisting it.

As a personal power animal, Dragons can quickly bring good things your way. A great practice is to be grateful for your good fortune and be willing to use it to help others.

One of my favorite book series when I was in college was The Dragon Riders of Pern written by Anne McCaffery featuring a powerful relationship between dragons and humans that included the ability to travel through time.

In this radical Sun in Aquarius time until Feb 18 and the year of the Dragon until January 29, 2025  I am again inspired to share from the book Surfers of the Zuvuya: Tale of Interdimensional Time Travel by José Argüelles.

Similar to the multi-dimensional expression of Dragons and the Aquarius Mysteries, with all planets moving forward until April 1,  along with other cosmic alignments the insights from this book help to give a context to the beyond everyday reality opportunities we are experiencing.

*Zuvuya is a Mayan term for our inter-dimensional connection to all past and future dimensions. It is also the universal wave of energy that surrounds all life reminding us that the universe operates within simultaneous dualistic cycles.

One of my big take-aways was: the key to surfing the Zuvuya is radical trust and radical surrender.

Another favorite from this book that fits with the revolutionary consciousness energy of Aquarius…we must create a total world transformation including a revolution in attitude – we need to understand our life in a joyous and happy manner – it will NOT work unless we play!  More about the book HERE

AND I am excited to share we have another Wise Women Seer’s Roundtable about this 2024 Cross-Quarter posted below.

As I shared last year, this is an opportunity is to use our attention and intention to fuel the power of LOVE, to choose LOVE as our most potent tool in helping us solve our issues in the best most supportive ways possible for all people and all life on planet Earth.

I have been feeling the importance of connecting with our inner courage to face the shadow that is coming to light across our planet and how Pluto is exposing more and more shadow as this year progresses.

I am personally in a Pluto Cycle and I keep having to surrender to what is unfolding. Remembering to surrender and having the courage to do so is key. Something I often forget!

Lots of Capricorn and Aquarius happening this month so it is another great reminder to keep asking ourselves an Aquarian Question: What is Really Real?

This month begins with all the planets moving forward since January 27 when Uranus stationed direct lasing until Mercury goes Retrograde on April 1 (about 64 days) letting us know we are in a time when we can take advantage of the Full Speed Ahead energy as long as we remember to access our wise knowing when making decisions. https://cayelincastell.com/all-planets-moving-forward/

Feburary Sky

Stars and Constellations Highlights

The Sacred Hoop of Stars is high in the sky after Sunset and is marked by the stars Castor and Pollux, Procyon, Sirius, Rigel, the Pleiades and Capella.

At the center of this Hoop is the Galactic Edge where the plane of the galaxy and the plane of the Solar system intersect forming the Galactic Cross where the June Solstice Sun currently rises.

The Sacred Hoop is visible in the Northern hemisphere from November to April with the middle months being the best time to view it.

Betelguese, Rigel and Orion’s Belt are also visible inside the Hoop. See the January 2010 archives for details.

Our brightest fixed star is Sirius (magnitude -1.46) lighting up the winter skies and is also marking the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop.

Capella is located in the constellation of Auriga and is one of the main stars that mark the outer rim of the Sacred Hoop. Auriga, the charioteer, is an imagery associated with this constellation thought to have originated with the Babylonians. Capella (magnitude of 0.08) is the 6th brightest star in our night sky.

Canis Major, the Great Dog, is visible in the northern hemisphere from December through March. This star group can be seen in the southern hemisphere between November and April. This constellation represents the larger of Orion’s two hunting dogs who accompany him as he hunts Lepus, the rabbit. Canis Major is the home of Sirius, the Dog Star, the brightest star in our night sky. At -1.46 magnitude  Sirius dominates the winter skies not only marking the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop but is also one of the three stars along with Procyon and Beleguese forming the equilateral triangle known as Heaven’s Gate or the location in the sky many cultures have seen as the entry point into this dimension of experience. Sirius can be easily located by drawing a straight line through the three belt stars in the constellation Orion.

Lepus, the Rabbit, as it was known to the Greeks, is being hunted by Orion’s dogs Canis Major and Canis Minor. In February Lepus is under Orion and to the west or right of dogs. It is located just below Orion and west of Canis Major and Minor. See image above. 

February is the best month to see the constellation Columba, the Dove in Northern latitudes.  The dove was sent out ahead of the ship Argo by the Argonauts to assist navigation through the narrow passage at the mouth of the Black Sea. The dove was also sent by Noah from his ark to find land and returned carrying an olive branch in its beak.
