February's Forecast

THEME: Can You Feel the Love?
Love. The Universal language! It's the thing that makes us human and the greatest gift we can give or receive. Love makes life worthwhile and supplies us with hope. No matter how we express it, share it, find it or use it, love makes all things possible. Having something or someone to love in your life is as important as oxygen.
It doesn't matter how we express love, just so we do. We can
share it with our partner, family, friends, pets, in our work and
activities, or within ourselves. As we celebrate the romance of
Valentines Day this month we also get an Astrological push to
embrace greater love in our lives, show more heart to those we care
about and find passion in how we do things.
How will February's Astrological energies assist us in making the
most of this month? Read on:
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS: Love is in the air, but keep it real. Unrealistic expectations and idealized views of romance don't bring long-term fulfillment. Recognize the difference between smoke-and-mirrors infatuation and the real thing. Love is a learned skill: good communication, mutual respect, developing common interests, trust, and finding what works for both is key. In partnerships or friendships remember that it's a two-way street. You know what you want, but the ability to focus on the other person, and respond to meet their needs, will make you better at love overall.
*The Leo Full Moon on the 8th brings a day of passionate
rendezvous and full-on emotional expression. Let go of
self-centered behavior now in order to find greater affection in
your life.
*The Pisces New Moon on the 22nd is a great day for amorous
beginnings and meeting like-hearted new associates. Start something
that you love (creative or spiritual!) at this time.
*The Love planet Venus, into Aries on the 8th initiates a 4 week
cycle of assertiveness and ability to attract potential lovers.
Getting what we want in the passion department is strong!
WORK & FINANCE: Do what you love - but
mostly do what caters to your strengths. Know your abilities,
talents and the areas where you are most likely to succeed. Realize
that your job does not define you, but the way you do it does. Your
attitude toward work and your colleagues makes the difference - in
your productivity, advancement and how you are seen by others. Find
significance (and passion!) in what you do - realize that whatever
your job, you are contributing to an essential service, a larger
concern or a greater cause.
When it comes to finances, it's not about how much you make but how
you spend it that counts. This is the month to identity and
eliminate luxury services that you don't really need. Keep a
detailed list of how you spend your money. Cut out the extras and
stop impulse buying - it's as bad a habit as overeating. Put your
finances on a diet - set a budget, stick to it, and start saving
for something you love. Your efforts will be rewarded!
*Energy planet Mars in Virgo retrograde encourages us to review the
details of our work and finances, helping us to be more analytical,
organized and conscientious for improving both.
*Prosperity planet Jupiter, continuing through Taurus, assists us
in our purposeful pursuit of stability and savings, while
responsibility planet Saturn, retrograding on the 8th, helps us to
take stock of what we have, review what we want, and find extra
discipline to achieve it.
HOME & FAMILY: Your home is not necessarily
where you were born and your family is not necessarily those you
were raised with. For the most part, we're blessed with the ability
to choose those we associate with and the place we reside. Although
we all have family to consider, many times our pick of friends
makes up our "tribe". What, where and who you give love and
attention to in your life is a refection of you. This month we
become more aware of the connection we have with those we consider
our "family" and the community that we occupy. Sharing love with
those close to our heart, regardless of their blood relation, is
highlighted this month.
*As the Sun and communication planet Mercury moves through the
"we-are-one" sign of Pisces by mid-month, the shift from
independent spirit to a more loving, universal family energy
emerges. This is a time to express greater love - for one another,
ourselves and the beauty around us.
HEALTH & SELF: What do you spend time on?
That's what you love! Explore your interests. Discover a project
that brings you joy, volunteer for an organization you believe in,
or get involved in a project that inspires you. Feeling excited
about something keeps you healthy. Immersing yourself in a
passionate pastime reduces depression, relieves stress and brings
greater balance to life. Consider the things you appreciate about
yourself, all that you've done, all that you have survived, and the
true beauty within you! This is the month for being grateful for
who you are, appreciating what you have - all of which encourages
positivity and prosperity!
*Neptune, the transcendental planet, moves into it's natural sign
of Pisces on the 4th, where it stays for the next 14 years - the
first time since 1847. Like that time 165 years ago, we come into
an inspiring era of new communications, spirituality, creativity
and humanitarian endeavors. This is also a green light to move
forward regarding the love of the earth, all creatures, fellow man
- and yourself!
