The Astrology of Spacex Launches, Feb ’25
I have been studying the horoscopes of Spacex launches and contrasting the condition of the planets between successful launches and attempted launches since 2014.
I pay particular attention to relationships or aspects between planets, luminaries and points, all called planets for convenience. Squares and oppositions a difficult and trines and sextiles are beneficial. and trines and sextiles are beneficial. Conjunctions are neutral. With difficult planets they are difficult. With harmonious planets they are beneficial. The Ascendant, Moon and Sun are especially important representatives of the launch. The Ascendant and Moon move quickly and can show differences of short durations between attempt and success. The Sun is always important. There is also background noise or music of slower moving planets. At this writing Mars and Saturn are trine. We also have beneficial and detrimental planets; Saturn and Mars are difficult, and Venus and Jupiter are beneficial. Pluto is extreme. And aspects move toward exactness and away from exactness. The former is stronger than the latter. The former are called applying and the later called separating. Aspects also are given orbs or an acceptable number of degrees from exactness. 3 or 4 degrees of orb is reasonable. For planetary relationships involving a larger number of planets the orbs can be greater.
Here is a monthly look at my ongoing project.

Feb. 3rd. Pad 40. No. Asc 23 Sagittarius square Saturn at 18 Pisces & Neptune at 28 Pisces, Moon at 19th Aries square Mars at 20 Aries.
Feb 4th Pad 40. Yes. Asc at 13 Capricorn. Moon at 4 Taurus 2 degrees past square Pluto at 2 Aquarius.
The 3 squares on the 3rd are much more numerous than the 1 square that is separating from exact on the 4th.
Feb. 3 Pad 39a. No. Asc 22 Leo square Uranus at 23 Taurus.
Feb 4th Pad 39a Yes. Asc 19 Leo square Uranus at 23 Taurus. Moon at 11.5 square Mercury at13 Aquarius.
The Ascendant/Uranus square is weaker on the 4th. The Moon squares Mercury on the 4th but it also sextiles good Jupiter.

The square to Neptune from the Ascendant is mitigated by the Ascendant trining the Sun and Mercury. The square between Sun and Mercury to Uranus is also mitigated by the Ascendant trining them, and the Moon sextile Jupiter brings help.

Feb 23 ’25 No. 40. Asc 17 Scorpio sextile Moon, trine Mercury & Saturn & Mars, Moon oppose Mars & sextile Mercury, Mercury with Saturn.
