Your star signs for February 2012

Tarot Soleil, Ibiza, Spain

A message for all signs: The biggest news this month, and possibly all year, is the entrance of generational planet Neptune into its home sign Pisces on February 3 to stay for 14 years. This affects all signs differently and begins as a stirring within, with the potential for tremendous spiritual transformation. February 7 is an important date with two key events occurring: a full moon in Aquarius, highlighting mental brilliance and communication and the beginning of another Saturn retrograde phase until June. February 21 ushers in the new moon in Pisces when, with enough belief, miracles can happen.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

This month is all about you and what’s really important. These past 14 years of Neptune in Aquarius have taught you spirituality and to value the bigger picture that connects us all. Your intuition, imagination and sensitivity have grown and you want this to reflect in how you earn a living. After much discussion and feedback, a personal project or relationship matter culminates by February 7. You’re very persuasive and could get what you want, especially around February 8-10. After February 21, amazing new possibilities arise in finances; possibly a new job, salary increase, or bargain investment. If seeking work, have your CV ready. You feel blessed and want to give back - as your values become more spiritual, you’re growing into more of a humanitarian. You are setting up strong organised structures to help you reach a larger life vision and you’ll be taking steps towards this. Avoid surgery if possible until at least mid-April.

Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20)

The focus this month is on health and wellness, both physical and psychological. What needs changing for you to reach your personal best? Take some time alone to connect with your spiritual side or work on something artistic; your intuition is skyrocketing. Meditation can guide you through confusing waters, especially now. Make time for romance on February 1; you and your partner are sizzling and you’ll want that energy put to good use. A secret is revealed around February 7, either about you or someone else and you find solutions around a work or health-related issue. Expect to hear exciting financial news between February 8 – 10. Partnerships, both personal and professional, have lost some momentum, but don’t worry - you’ll make up for lost time later. You have Neptune on your side, inspiring you to express the creative soul within. Welcome your solar new year on February 21 and make wishes for all you want to unfold this year. It’s going to be magical.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ve been busy furthering career goals, and if any remain, initiate them before February 8. Meanwhile, your imagination is awakened as you form new goals for the future. Privacy and quiet time have been appealing lately and encourage exploration of your inner mind through meditation or dream analysis. A love or friendship matter is highlighted around February 7, confirming you share a special connection with someone. Afterwards, charming Venus ushers in a period of greater popularity and February 8, 9 and 10 are special days that showcase your unique personality. You’re certainly the belle of the ball, and friends and fans are happy to remind you of this! A certain project you’ve been working on has lost momentum, but don’t worry; just re-examine your approach. Then after February 21, new seeds form in your subconscious; making you more sensitive and intuitive. Stay strong and focused in pursuing professional goals; greater evidence of public success comes mid-March. For best results, believe in yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May20)

Though you’re still irresistibly sexy to others, some bumps have surfaced in your romantic life, turning your thoughts to career. You’ve been working on a massive creative project, and recent slowdowns allow you to revise and refine your strategy; you can find greater efficiencies if you try. Though the journey’s been long, rest assured the professional seeds you’re planting now bear fruit after June - now is not the time to slack off. In fact, an interesting opportunity recently came up and decisions become clear around February 7, when analysis and discussion result in answers. Afterwards, you feel the need for more downtime; you’ve been burning the candle at both ends with friends, romantic affairs and your new professional venture. February 8-10 is perfect for racy behind-the-scenes excitement or flashes of genius inspiration. After February 21, a wonderful opportunity comes up through friends or a professional network you belong to.

Gemini (May 21-June20)

You’re still in a theme of long-distance travel or foreign contacts, publishing and broadcasting, or mind expansion through higher education or spirituality. Around February 7, you could be hosting visitors to your city, or returning home from an inspiring trip that brings you fresh clarity in some matter, or you complete some communications assignment or sign a contract. Just when you thought you were out of the woods, there is still some work to creatively revise, and love matters still require your constant adjustment. Home or family-related plans may also need to be put on hold, perhaps due to other pressing needs. Especially after February 8, make quality time with friends a priority; you’re able to let go and enjoy them more. After February 21, an amazing new professional opportunity appears, possibly one you’ve been working towards since last year. You’ve managed to eliminate weak links that held you back from transforming your life, and this has made all the difference.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Finances are still on your mind, particularly one large chunk of money that could come through a settlement, pay-out, commission or property sale. Even an inheritance or lottery winning is possible. Expect answers or solutions around February 3-7, accompanied by much discussion or analysis. You could be frustrated that your partner, either business or personal, needs to backtrack to regain clarity and this creates delays in reaching consensus. The delay could benefit you too, however, especially around a family or property matter, which is ongoing. Afterwards, watch your reputation grow as Venus makes you more charming and popular with employers, especially on stellar career days February 8, 9 and 10. Expect surprising news. Then after February 21, new opportunities arise to widen your perspective, or disseminate your message through publishing or broadcasting, teaching, researching or writing. Communication intensifies, and a key message could spring up through traveling or foreign contacts. It could open the door to a long-held dream coming true.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

The theme this month is one-to-one relationships; either personal or professional. If you’ve been searching for the perfect lawyer, accountant, doctor or agent, you could find them now. At least one new partnership has sprung up recently and it becomes official around February 7. Answers come to solve a dilemma you’ve been grappling with. You’re making the most of your relationships and realising what they contribute to your life. A love matter in particular is blossoming beautifully; celebrate your commitment around February 8-10 and if single, romance - especially with a foreign flair - becomes quite spicy then too. Expect fireworks! Travel could combine with international work and if you've been awaiting your green card, visa, or citizenship, it’s in the works. Expenses are higher than usual, and payments are delayed, particularly after February 8, but don’t lose hope; the week of February 21 brings miraculous new possibilities for prosperity.

Virgo (August 23-Sept 22)

Virgo, finding ways to accomplish more in less time is always on your mind - but without sacrificing quality. With such a heavy workload, better time and energy management is certainly your focus this month. Relationships, especially romantic, have been smooth; even blissful at times, but these take a back seat after February 7, due to work obligations. An interesting new assignment appears and could become lucrative, or alternatively a new client, if you’re self-employed. In the past, others have begun to see you as a star and look to you for direction and now you’re managing the reins of leadership quite well. This is giving you the confidence to become more daring. Though financial struggles have delayed progress in a key project, February 8-10 stand out as lucky money days from clients or investors. February 21 marks a period of miraculous beginnings in partnerships, both business and personal. Maybe you just need to find the right person to tie it all together.

Libra (Sept 23-Oct 22)

Libra, do you remember how to have fun? Given the kind of responsibility you’ve taken on, it’s been a long hard road and you’re tired. Fortunately you’re able to find the intense concentration you need to work on a long-term project without distraction. Happily, this month focuses on romance, creative self-expression, and your relationships with children. Fertility is high too, and a pregnancy could surprise you around February 3-8. Or you could hear news about adoption if you’ve applied. If you have property or family matters to attend to, including contract signings, square them away before February 7 if possible, then enjoy the culmination of a fulfilling creative project, love or child-related matter, that brings joy into your life, especially around February 8-10. Though not yet certain how you’ll use your gifts to earn a good income, don’t give up. A wonderful new work opportunity could arise after February 21, so be sure to have your C.V. ready.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

Scorpio, family and property issues are on your mind. If you want to list your house for sale, do it before February 7, though expect more delays than usual with Mars in retrograde. If you’ve recently bought a home or moved in, make sure you have a good insurance policy in place, especially in case of flooding. If you’re trying to make improvements to your home, obstacles have recently lifted and your plans can really take off from now through until June. Plan a date for February 1, when passion sizzles, though romance continues to be strong until February 7, especially sweet through socialising. Friends, especially professional colleagues, are more than happy to help plan social events. Then February 8-10 brings exciting news around work; though fast decisions may be necessary. Then the new moon on February 21 offers sparkling possibilities around romance, creative affairs, and relationships with children. If single, you could certainly have an electric experience with someone special, so be sure to go out.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

A new project appears involving writing, researching, teaching or translation, even publishing or broadcasting, especially online. You could develop a new website or blog to advertise your services. Professionally, you’ve now managed to set plans and agreements in place; give yourself until mid-April to assess them properly. You’re on the path to shaping your perfect career and working out the details of some project. By February 7, an inspiring travel opportunity comes up, particularly around your city, and could include an exciting fling around February 8-10, that really opens up possibilities in your love life. If you can’t travel, consider a workshop or online course; your mind is craving stimulation. Recently you began enjoying home more and February 21 ushers in wonderful new possibilities around family or property. Maybe it’s time for maintenance, deep cleaning or even a renovation or move. Although there isn’t time to complete home goals this month, use this week to start them and you’ll be pleased.

Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19)

Money is the theme of this month for you. You’ve recently seen new possibilities around income, investing or saving your money and these crystallise by February 7. Perhaps you are trying to sell something of value or you’ve been applying to post-secondary schools, especially if foreign. Answers or solutions could also arrive within the first week of the month. Whatever your circumstances, you find your financial situation becoming free from the confusion of past. However, property sales or any matters concerning family still face delays until mid-April, due to conditions beyond your control, especially if abroad. February 1 could bring a contract to sign or message of interest, particularly around a foreign contact and February 8-10 brings excitement and requires sudden decisions around family or property. Sizzling romance surprises you at home. After February 21, a creative new assignment or travel opportunity arises that could be wonderful. If you’re thinking of babies, the chances for conception are good too.
