While things may feel cold and dreary this third winter month of February there is nothing better than a visit from Venus to hot things up in the area of feelings and emotion. We have started the month while still in the midst of a Mercury retrograde (which began on the 21st of January) and while it may have felt like a calm first half thanks to the help of the Sun for all zodiac signs. The second half on the other hand will be a slightly more explosive one bringing on feelings of irate and agitation. So remember to lie low till the 11th of February which is when the retrograde will come to an end. Some of you may feel the need of a little extra pocket money help because expenses may have hit a bit high for the first month of the year and taking on extra jobs may be the sensible thing to do. Enthusiastic and innovative initiatives will be prevalent as well this month. Like with any start-up there will be plenty of reconsideration and adjustments to be made before you finally succeed. So it may be a good thing after all if things don’t seem that easy in the beginning thanks to the Jupiter retrograde this month. On the whole February seems to be a month of deep thought, analysis and building awareness within yourself and of others around you. Pay extra attention to your finances and health. Practising self-restraint and balance will be your key to enjoy this romance filled month.
IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
This Month
It’s your birthday month and the desire to do something crazy seems to be high on your list. You are tired of adhering to rules and want to take a risk or dare to get out of your norm but you do not want to do this alone. You do possess a charismatic charm which tends to win people over easily even though you may not be aware of it. However, if taking risks or dares is something that you wish to do, it may not seem so ideal in persuading others to follow suit. The results could be highly detrimental. Once again, because of the volatility that surrounds this second half of the Mercury retrograde save your crazy antics for after the 11th.
Year Ahead
The year kick starts with a buzz of ideas. You seem to be overflowing with them and can’t keep up with it. These ideas will concern anything that relates to information so therefore it will be linked to your career, business and or academic areas of your life. You have never felt such clarity in your mind which is driving you to sit up and take note of this stream of ideas and this will give rise to you taking on new challenges which you will see bear fruit by the end of the first quarter. Things will seem to move very quickly. Issues will surface and be resolved very quickly. You will be feeling very invincible and feel nothing bad could ever happen here. However, moving too quickly may result in lack of scrutiny in things or losing a grip on the depth of matters and could result in some form of loss. Though the loss mostly relates to a financial one and there is a high probability that you may push near and dear ones away due to your pride. There is a lesson to be learnt in the second quarter and that is the relationships that see you through this difficult time will be the ones to cherish for the rest of your life. This episode will also bring you to take a good look at your weaknesses and limitations and that it is ok to ask for help from time to time as you are only human after all. Your early burst of success hasn’t gone unnoticed and has attracted a whole lot of competitors while you were sleeping during the third quarter! It’s time to go back to the drawing board to revamp your ideas to shake this competition off and find your way to the top of the table again. This will involve deep thought, observations and asking for feedback. Towards the end of the year, it will feel like all the tweaks and adjustments you have worked on have been worth it to ensure your long road to success. A celebration will be well deserved. The events of the year will lead you to realise the value your relationships hold to you. Reminiscing on past relationships will make you want to pay more attention to loved ones and express what they mean to you at the end of the year.



Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Don’t let your emotions get the better of you dear Capricorn. Decisions are to be made with a clear mind and allowing your emotions to rule your decisions will not result in a positive outcome. With Mercury retrograde in the way, it would not be ideal to make any firm decisions before the 11th so just go through with this roller coaster of emotions till then and once this retrograde is over the solution will very clearly present itself.



Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
A wave of disappointment and regret seems to hover over Pisces this month. It may feel amplified during the first half of the month but don’t allow this to overwhelm you. Be fully aware of the effects of the Mercury retrograde at this time. Allow to pull yourself away from the blame and shame that you have cast upon yourself and instead appreciate what is still standing around you. Wallowing in self-pity and loss is the last thing you should focus on.
You are faced with a real dilemma this month dear Aries. You have some very hard decisions to make. Allowing your emotions to take over your decision making will make you look weak and not very credible. This is going to be hard as this is the month where feelings and emotions are on a high due to the presence of Venus. The decision you make may rattle some relationships but it leaves you no choice as your professionalism will be in question. Do whatever you need to do in order to be fair and just. In time, the people you have affected will come around and respect you for the decision you took.



Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your body seems to be in need of some rest and recuperation. Give in to this need. It is necessary if you are to move forward with your next project. This opportunity of rest and relaxation also gives you time to reflect and bring on an inner awareness of your being. Keep calm and just relax is your order of the day. This will also give rise to the formation of many inspirational ideas.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 20)
Things feel very cloudy this month. You feel you have decisions to make however you haven’t the tools to make a clear one. You need to give yourself time on this one. Rushing would only spell a disaster for you. This may relate to a job and/or business opportunity, love as well as family relationships. If at the end of the day, things slip by you because you weren’t able to come to a decision then take it as it wasn’t your time to have it. There is great emphasis on listening to your inner voice and believing and trusting yourself this month. If something doesn’t feel right or you aren’t ready or are feeling rushed then its best to hold back and wait.
A card related to Neptune as its ruling planet and the water element for the zodiac ruled by the water element. How apt! You are in need of some inspiration. And it’s time to think out of the box and let your imagination run wild. Feel the freedom of your dreams and go where no one dares and only then you will achieve whatever you have set for yourself. This is particularly true in a business or job setting or even getting the love of your life. The mundane and safe way of doing things are not going to get you to where you want to be. So be bold and dare to dream.
With Mercury as its ruling planet of the magician you may feel the effects of the Mercury retrograde slightly more than the other Zodiacs this month. Take this in your stride and just lie low as much as you can. You have been seeking an answer to something for quite a while and this is the month where your answer will be revealed to you. In actual fact, the answer that you have been seeking all this time was there all along but you never chose to take a look. However, you seem to have arrived at a stage in your life where you are ready to see and accept what will come before you.



Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The power struggle from last month leaves you feeling triumphant and confident. You have succeeded but it may have rubbed some people the wrong way. Being a month where emotions are on a high avoiding drama scenes will do you very well. Rather than being confrontational it will be best to walk away and let the other party feel like they have ‘won’. Not to worry a timed opportunity will arise in the near future so you may put your point across then.



Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
This month leaves you looking and feeling like a winner. You have emerged victorious from an episode and the support that you are receiving from everyone around is dizzying. You need to keep this up if you are going to get the same support. However, do not let this get to your head. It is a nice feeling to win but not all days will be good ones. Take heed and practice caution to not get too attached to this triumphant feeling otherwise you may fall very hard.
Things continue on a positive note for you this month dear Scorpio. The month is a bringer of new luck, health and prosperity into your life. Allow yourself to enjoy the fruits of your labour but do not let this get to your head and remember to remain grounded at all times. You never know when the rug will be pulled out from under your feet.
Being a Mr or Miss know it all may be a double edged sword at times. You may feel you mean well but it may be taken the wrong way by someone else and may make you appear cold and aloof. Best thing to do is to analyse and assess the situation you are in before you succumb to your eagerness to show off. Anyway it’s a month for you to show awareness about when and how and to whom to share your knowledge of wealth with in the form of advice. Balance is the key.
