Vedic Astrology Predictions for February 2024

The astrology of February 2024 has a few surprises and potentially interesting developments.

Pluto always resonates with the unconscious, where conscious will doesn’t always hold sway over matters, therefore not always the wisest of decisions are made.  However conscientiousness, if employed, can channel that Plutonic energy into significant constructive change.

Astrology of Valentine’s Day 2024

Even potentially more interesting, this configuration takes place in the middle of February; i.e. over Valentine’s Day 2024.  You can see a tight conjunction of Venus, Mars, and Pluto.

Therefore I am predicting a rather interesting and deep Velentine’s Day.  Deep wells of emotional energy can be triggered, resulting in powerful and potentially transforming experiences.  The love experienced could be an eclipsing-overpowering feeling but probably short-lived.  After a period of a couple of days rationality and truth reasserts itself.

But this could apply to any kind of passionate, motivated endeavor of humankind: self-development, achieving important milestones in activities, tackling and vanquishing the various dragon-problems that we deal with.

Venus and Mars in Close Association to Each Other Over February

This configuration occurs in installments over mid-February: February 5, 14, 18 and 23 to 24.  You can see there in the image below as they draw closer and closer together they also  make somewhat close square to Jupiter in Aries over through on February 24.  Jupiter adds an adventurous element to this configuration, pushing the envelop relationship-wise I would think.  Apply that to actually any kind of passionate-motivated type of endeavor that can occur, whether it is shared in relationships or not.

A few days later however, Saturn comes along to put the brakes on everything; i.e. the party’s over and Saturn puts our noses to the grindstone once again.

Saturn Applies the Brakes

The next major configuration occurs over February 27-28 when the Sun, Mercury and Saturn make conjunction.  Saturn has the effect of coolling-off the pie in the sky expectations of Venus, Mars, and Pluto mentioned above, even abruptly.  But we can also hope for a kind of new realism to prevail during that time late in February. Mars and Jupiter in square simultaniously with the Sun-Mercury-Saturn conjunction may continue to enhance frustration or thwarting of inclinations and desires that the previous sets of configurations indicate.  A divided consciousness: hesitant, but also ready for action, may cause a sort of

New features at SWN

Over the years I’ve added more astrology factors to my prediction, such as fixed stars, astronomical points, asteroids, galactic points, as well as the so-called minor aspects (quintile, tridecile, semisquare, etc.). It takes more brain power on my part to interpret, but if It can be measured, and I know what it means, I feel obligated to deliver it to clients and readers of SWN to benefit from.  Service is it’s own reward.

Now I’m ready to add another factor in predicions, parallels and contra-parallels of declination with planets.   This give the opportunity to discover whether they are valid enough and useful.  We will see soon enough.

Parellels and contraparallels occur when two planets occupy the same degree of declination from the celestial equator, above or below.  The celestial equator is the earth’s equator projected out into space, giving us a coordinate system to locate stellar objects from any point on earth.

Parallels occur wen two planet occupy the same degree of declination north or south.  Contraparallels occur when two planets occupy the same degree of declination, but one is north and the other south.
