February 2009

AFTER READING THE INTRODUCTION SCROLL DOWN FOR YOUR PERSONAL HOROSCOPE

Most of the February planetary action takes place in Aquarius as Jupiter is conjunct the north node of the Moon. Lucky Jupiter combined with the goal seeking north node has most of us excited and optimistic about our aspirations.

Beginning February 4 Mars enters Aquarius until March 14. Assertive Mars in Aquarius brings big jolts with simple moves. Aquarius’ theme will be “I am what I am” so play the soundtrack of La Cage au Folles and dance around the house proclaiming your identity. Slow down especially if you are Scorpio or Taurus. There will be those who cause problems for these signs. Both Leo and Taurus will be taking strong measures when challenges arise through mid March. Aquarius’ opposite sign, Leo, will experience people opposing their words, ideas, and very being. Give that roar a rest and you will find the going easier.

The Sun in Aquarius crosses over Neptune and Chiron February 12. Our senses of compassion and spirituality are heightened, as are our psychic impressions. Those of us who need to make amends of some sort are able to clear the slate and the air where past mistakes and misunderstandings have occurred.

Once Mercury moves into Aquarius on the 14th we are further stimulated to connect and network with friends and social groups. As Mercury moves toward a conjunction to Jupiter on the 23rd our outlook becomes broad and concerned with the welfare of more than just ourselves. Many of us will want to get into a team spirit. Teamwork will be the better way to accomplish our personal goals now and in the near future. Mercury, sixty degrees from Jupiter on the 25th is a great time to show appreciation for just about anyone.

Mars in Aquarius is conjunct Jupiter in Aquarius Feb. 17. This exuberant combination has many of us confident that nothing can go wrong. Venus is just sixty degrees away in Aries so our desire for fun and frolic is in overdrive. Aquarius, Libra, and Gemini can climb to great heights while Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio, though, must stay away from hornet nests both literally and figuratively.

These events in Aquarius make life and the pursuit of whatever so easy for Aquarius and fellow air signs Libra and Gemini. However, Aquarius’ fellow fixed signs Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio have a sense of urgency or irritation that spurs them to action.

Before Mercury enters Aquarius, though, he goes direct in the wee hours of February 1st. At last we can get back to the situations and projects that have been on hold since Jan 11. Details are now clear and decisions are have a firm foundation. The fog surrounding our thoughts begins to lift. Once February 21 arrives we should have all the Mercury retrograde miscues resolved.

The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs February 9 at 21 degrees Leo at 8:49 am CST. Any full Moon is the peak of a cycle so an eclipse affords us an extra dose of drama. In the course of the next six months this event affects how we feel and express our love and loyalty. Material possessions require repairs and someone royal or who thinks they are regal is sure to pass from the stage of life. Aquarius born around February 12 will experience closures now and in the months to come. Look back to this time in 1990 when this eclipse last occurred. History has a habit of repeating itself. Anyone with the Sun or planets at or very near the twenty first degree of any sign is sure to experience life more intensely than usual around the 9th.

Meanwhile, Saturn still retrograde in Virgo is opposite to Uranus in Pisces on the 5th. We experienced this aspect throughout last fall and continue to notice the affects into March. Tried and true Saturn seems to have his hands tied, as Uranus and his innovation are able to move past worn methods, ideas, and philosophies. Embrace that which is new and don’t worry, we have not lost all that has gone on before this aspect.

February 3
Venus moves into Aries until April 25. This is not the best place for this sexy planet because she can be brazen and unruly. Arrogant behavior is not attractive so calm down and attract those flies with honey. Libra, Aries, and Capricorn, are especially susceptible to challenges with love and lust. If you cannot use good taste while Venus is moving through Aries keep you mouth shut and your wallet clamped.

February 5
Venus in Aries is ninety degrees from Pluto in the early degrees of Capricorn. Another wave of stuff is sure to come up to be aired. Since Venus is not so great in Aries this aspect is an extra challenge. Somewhere in our lives we must use good sense or else find ourselves in a pickle with a honey.

February 16
Venus still in Aries is sixty degrees from Jupiter in Aquarius. Financial matters and social occasions go well today and tomorrow. However, while the Moon is void from 3:37 to 6:53 pm CST, all are wise to avoid making decisions and commitments. Plans made during that time will not pan out or meet our expectations for one reason or another.

February 18
The Sun enters Pisces until March 20. These waning days of winter have us finalizing winter activities and preparing for the warm days ahead. Compassion is favored, so give a buck to that person on the corner. Pisces is at the yearly high over the next several weeks. Fish are smart to assert ideas and actions at this time of the year when they shine.

February 21
The Sun now in Pisces is sixty degrees from Pluto in Capricorn. Pisces and Capricorn are able to get to the bottom of any perplexing situation. All of us are sure to come to the correct conclusion when faced with implausible facts.

February 24
The New Moon occurs in Pisces at 7:35 pm CST. Now is the time to start your spiritual quest or at the very least practice compassion. Volunteering is such good karma, but avoid rescuing unless it is that furry homeless creature by the side of the road.

Aquarius, Jan 20 - Feb 18
Make the most of February as there are many circumstances that offer opportunities. Consider your life goals for this year and the next five years. Get down to the business of accomplishing your purpose. Group endeavors propel you to the heights you desire. Revisit plans that were put on hold last month. Now is the time to restart projects previously stalled. The only warning is that you may push your partners too hard and they will rebel. Money matters must be balanced especially where shared resources are concerned. Honeys and partners need a helping hand with their funds and abilities. Aquarius’ agenda may need to be sold softly. Your energy and will are extremely abundant. Use them wisely or end up in arguments or accidents. Best days Best days 12th, 13th, 17th 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 27th

Pisces, Feb 19-Mar 20
Pisces continues to juggle business and love relationships. Many fish want freedom from the old responsibilities. Those born around the tenth of March are especially affected by situations they cannot control. Partners are reticent or even resentful of your good sense advice. Their position and behavior is likely to have Pisces feeling irritable. After all, you have done so much for these people and right now you are feeling unappreciated. Channel your love and caring towards a good cause. Volunteer work channels Pisces need to serve especially if you find a place where you are appreciated. You just may find yourself in charge of a committee or grass roots cause. Use care with your health around the ninth. Get out the camera and take pictures.
Best days 15th, 16th 24th, 25th

Aries, Mar 21 - Apr 19
February is a social month for Aries as you participate with group activities of all sorts. Network as a means of accomplishing long and short-term goals. Follow up with bosses and other authority figures where training and career plans are concerned. They may need a nudge from Aries so that you can get what you want. Let everyone concerned know that you are willing to cooperate while in the back of your mind you know your cooperation ultimately achieves your desires. One or more relationship is undergoing a major transformation around February 6. Allowing others to have their life experience will be both challenging and maturing for rams. February 16-18 is great for combining business and pleasure. Pursue new methods to nagging health concerns. Best days 17th, 27th

Taurus, Apr 20 - May 20
Taurus is in a great position for furthering career agendas. Group endeavors are the best avenue to get your way but you must balance bullish behavior with enthusiasm. Get back in contact with past business friends and associates. Many of them have keys that can kick start Taurus plans. Projects that were put on the back burner or seemed unimportant now become priorities. Know when to push ideas and when to hold your tongue. Everyone does not share Taurus vision. Some consider you impulsive and are not will to listen. The full Moon eclipse February 9 is stressful especially for those born around May 11. Family members need your help and compassion. You will be glad you were there for them in days to come.
Best days 10th, 11th, 19th 20th

Gemini, May 21 - Jun 21
Now that Mercury has gone direct Gemini is able to resume going about the business of life. Your recent rest has Gemini ready to get up and go with the pleasure and opportunities that life has to offer. Your ideas are clear and concise, as the January fog has lifted. Plans for travel and education are supported and even in-laws seem compatible. Career matters can be a bit of a frustration as bosses and are not willing to embrace the innovation you introduce. Likewise, parents need help most likely with simple electronics. Use caution when moving about the planet around February 9. Accidents are waiting in the wings for those who are not paying attention. Gemini can have more than just a burger their way at mid month.
Best days 4th, 13th, 22nd, 23rd

Cancer, Jun 22 - Jul 22
Partnerships and shared financial matters are a concern as crabs are undergoing all sorts of relationship transformations. Consider the best way to handle the simple stuff like who takes out the trash and the tough stuff such as how structure taxes and insurance. Work with what you have on your plate for now. New loans and new partnerships are not advisable as you may be acting out of impulse at least through mid March. The solar eclipse February 9 offers insight into what you deem important both emotionally and financially. It also brings closure to deals and settlements. Rules and having to adhere to them is a source of frustration. You higher power will guide you through this stressful month. February 16-18 are a respite from stress. Best days 15th, 17th, 18th, 24th

Leo, Jul 23 - Aug 22
Collaboration and cooperation are the best way for Leo to enjoy February, as business, friendship, and love relationships all require your attention. Now is the time to work through those goofy issues that make you want to pull out your mane. Others feel the same and more than once will buck at the very idea that you would expect royal treatment. Impulsive or self-centered behavior gets a lion nowhere fast. The lunar eclipse brings recognition for jobs well done and propels Leo into balancing your identity and needs with the needs of your cohorts over the course of the next six months. Your tendency to focus on lack this month is self-defeating. Use your dissatisfaction to change your life’s work. Tend to your claws. Best days 17th, 27th

Virgo, Aug 23 - Sep 22
Throughout 2009 Virgo is expanding their presence in the community. Many of you will be getting involved with charitable or other wise good causes. This is all part of you satisfying your current need to serve. In the next several weeks you may discover that you not fit in with or support a particular group process. Virgo has been trying on new and different ways of doing business and relationships. Now is the time to let enlightened behavior overrule your need to be right and judgmental. That includes allowing yourself to move onto a cause that better fits your current frame of mind. Those who must manage others find them to be unbearable in more than one instance. Rest from worry or get sick. Best days 10th, 19th, 20th, 28th

Libra, Sep 23 - Oct 22
Confusion and misunderstandings from last month start to get resolved. Finally, those you love understand what Libra wants to express. Your energy and stamina are higher than usual so take time for winter sports and fun. Romance is in the air at mid month. Get out of the house to be available for love opportunities. Sports events and social gatherings are just the place for Libra to make a connection. Perhaps a salsa dance class is in Libra’s future. Health matters must be monitored in order to get back to balance. New methodology and practices yield great results where health and work are concerned. Update and learn new software so that you are ready for the good stuff 2009 will continue to offer. Best days 4th, 13th, 22nd, 23rd

Scorpio, Oct 23 -Nov 21
Household and family matters take precedence over Scorpio lives throughout February. Many of you will be handling upsets and fussing and fighting among members while others are planning for family gatherings. No matter how hard Scorpio tries; most likely you will be dragged into someone’s issue that gets laid at your door. Use new tactics when dealing with the children. This is not the time to turn the other way when they misbehave. Likewise, romance requires an extra jolt just to take your mind off the trying circumstances that have Scorpio preoccupied. There is a sense of urgency and heavy responsibility that Scorpio must carry through mid March. Projects at home are more extensive and expensive than expected. A day at the spa is rejuvenating. Best days 15th, 24th

Sagittarius, Nov 22 - Dec 21
The daily routine is incredibly busy, as Sagittarius must manage unruly group dynamics. Choose your words very carefully and do not get too attached to any idea or rules unless you want a fight or debate on your hands. Handle siblings, neighbors, and in-laws with good sense. These people are trouble if you stir their emotions. Making a list of daily goals helps Sagittarius to accomplish stuff that would be otherwise forgotten. The full Moon eclipse on February 9 is empowering especially for those born December 10-11. The answer to your career dilemma lies in the talents you have not tapped as of yet. Passion and romance are ignited at mid month. Caution must be used when taking any short trip through mid March. Best days 9th, 17th, 27th

Capricorn, Dec 22 - Jan 19
Money matters are on goats’ minds as you get geared up for 2009. Jupiter is sure to provide opportunities through mid May while Mars winds your wheels up so that you can make quotas and win sales contests. Some goats are moonlighting but it is not permanent. The worst scenario is to sit and worry without taking action as money runs out the door. Contacting friends from the past and networking provide new and productive avenues. Former colleagues provide leads and guidance. Listen to your own insight and follow your instincts as you dismantle your identity replacing it with a better goat. Financial situations that were put aside last month come back around to be fulfilled. Use past experiences to guide your future. Best days 10th, 19th, 20th, 22nd, 28th
