Happy Frequency Friday!

Did you know February 2 (Groundhog’s Day) is exactly halfway between the first day of Winter (Equinox) and the first day of Spring (Solstice)? All of these events are determined relative to the movement of the earth around the Sun and have been observed for thousands of years.   

In ancient times (12,000 years ago Source: National Geographic) humans abandoned being nomadic hunters and gathers in favor of living in communities where life and living was linked to being supported by farming. With this change in lifestyle human survival became profoundly influenced by the weather. Consequently, tracking the energy of the Sun became profoundly important.

There, thus, emerged a need for a Sun God whose job it was to watch the movements of the Sun to gage when to plant and when to harvest. The ancient art of Astrology was thus born to have a very practical application. Astrology is all about paying attention to and reading signs. It, thus, encompasses paying attention to something as unusual as a groundhog’s shadow that is seemingly unrelated.

The legend is that the groundhog's shadow predicts the weather for the next six weeks, until the start of spring. A sunny day means the groundhog will see his shadow, a sign that the next six weeks will bring wintry weather. A cloudy day means the opposite. It may seem counterintuitive.  Therein, explains for the need of the watchful Sun God (the first ever astrologer) who was savvy about cosmic trends and could put things in perspective. It was important to not plant too early and risk losing everything to a late season freeze.  Alternatively, it would be helpful to know if there would be favorable conditions for early planting.  The counterintuitive insight was to guide people to understand to not get hopes up and act too quickly.

Astrology, as a Meaningful Aid to Navigating Current Financial Times

We are living in times of great change. On Sunday January 28, DiSalvo & Associates sponsored a talk by Christeen Skinner, world famous Financial Astrologer. Attendees had the unique opportunity to learn about what to expect in the coming years from a contemporary astrologer.

In Conclusion: Current Cosmic Mojo Updates of Note

Looking ahead: As of 1/30/24 Uranus, the only planet that has been retrograding in 2024, turned direct (forward moving). We now have two months (February and March) when all the planets are moving forward.  You can take advantage of this time to be full steam ahead. To further support effective action assertive Mars in is practical “get the job” done Capricorn until February 13, Fat Tuesday of Mardi Gras.  On that day Mars moves into Aquarius and hooks up with Pluto. This very powerful Aquarian (revolutionary) energy that is likely to inspire you and associates, in both your personal and business life, to be more open to adjust to the new Aquarian Age. If you want to introduce a new approach to some part of your life (invest in crypto, incorporate AI into your business, etc,) this will be a favorable time to do so.  There is, however, one caveat.  Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of surprises. Expect the unexpected and for your peace of mind remember to stay flexible assuring yourself and others that the Universe is in perfect order.
