Carl Boudreau, in his astrological forecast for February, calls upon an increased emphasis on grassroots activism inspired by ethical thinking and decision-making.
Focusing on a single energetic signature, that of a “minor grand trine” involving Mars in Libra (in Aquarian 11th house), sextile Moon in Sagittarius (in Aries first house), trine Sun/Mercury (Rx) in Aquarius (in Gemini 3rd house) — plus a number of attendant asteroids and a stabilizing Saturn in Scorpio, Boudreau foresees that the tables have finally turned, the trigger point has been reached in the ongoing Uranus/Pluto/Jupiter cardinal cross signature that has forced an eruption of r/evolutionary energy into the zeitgeist world-wide.
In this widening context, it’s interesting to notice how the death of Pete Seeger, one of the preeminent ethical/activist persons of this time in history, has affected individuals.

Two personal reflections that I found particularly meaningful:
