The day before the full moon, Venus and Mars square off. Passion, desire, and aggression are themes that can come into play. Therefore, it’s important to take control over our emotions — which may be extremely hard to do. Two days before the full moon, “Great Awakener” planet Uranus, who is in the fixed earth sign, Taurus, activates the sun in Aquarius to reveal its true self.

Combined, the aspects of February 3 and 4 contribute to the erratic and uncertain nature of the full moon.
