February is a relatively peaceful month although the beginning of the month is marked by many planets in debilitation by Rashi and Navamsha. Mars is debilitated throughout the month and Moon becomes debilitated from 6 to 9 February. Although it appears to be weak, Moon and Mars exchange signs and both become stronger. The debilitation in Navamsha of Saturn ( till 10 Feb) , Jupiter (till 19 Feb) and Venus (6 Feb only) shows some inner weaknesses to the quality to time.  Jupiter lasts the longest and this may effect Sagittarius and Pisces lagnas.

Jupiter Venus remain together most of February and conjoin together on 17 February. This is a conjunction of two great benefics and gurus but it is not as positive as expected as Jupiter and Venus belong of rival camps of thinking. They are both great Gurus and teachers but in opposition to each others ideas and thoughts. So this conjunction can create an opposition of ideas and rival spiritual teachers. It can create division of thought rather than combinig of ideas. But as both are benefic  hopefully this is done with good spirit.

Then on 25 Feb four planets gather in Aquarius, making this a very special time for Aquarius lagna. All the benfics are together and also for Aries Lagnas, they get 3 planets in their 11th house and Taurus Moon get 3 benefics in the 10th giving very positive energies for all.

Mars  and Saturn remain retrograde. Leo remains hemmed in by these two malefics till 25 May 2010. This makes life tough for Leo. They feel stuck and unable to move on in life. It is best they practise patience for the next few months - this will help them to avoid frustrations.

Mars's long retrograde continues to show up the weakness of the Defence Services.
