This,
the shortest month can be an interesting one because two thirds of it is
powered by Uranus, planet of sudden and usually unexpected happenings. One
unusual aspect of this particularly February is that is has no Full Moon.
There is one on the last day of January and another on March 1. However,
there is a powerful New Moon Eclipse in the middle of the month on the 15th.
There are no retrograde planets at this time. This indicates that during
this time period efforts and events may well go forward without any
hindrance.
