Episode 63 features a discussion with Kelly Surtees and Austin Coppock about some of the major astrological alignments and auspicious electional charts in the upcoming month of February 2016.

During the course of the show we cover topics such as the impending Mars retrograde in Sagittarius and Scorpio, an upcoming emphasis on mutable signs, and a recap of some of the highlights of the recent Mercury retrograde in Aquarius and Capricorn.

I also introduce some auspicious electional charts for different dates throughout the month, and talk about the rationale for the charts I selected.
