Overview for February 2010
The month begins as the influence of a blue moon (in Leo) wanes, and Mars continues its retrograde journey through the same sign. Any grand plans are on hold for many just now.
This starts to change, though, in the week from Feb 5th-12th, as things gradually take shape and move forward, including the realisation of long-held dreams. Impatience will not serve anyone during this time; progress is slow but steady, and events unfold in order.
A New Moon in Aquarius on Valentine's Day coincides with two slightly awkward aspects to Venus. Avoid arguments or confrontations with the males in your life, or at least put them off until the following day! And from 16th, things are a lot warmer and more sociable, as well as bringing an opportunity to re-visit an issue from the past, and to put it right.
This influence continues until 26th, especially after the sun enters Pisces on. Then, the month ends sensitively with another Full Moon, this time in Virgo, on 28th. This is a time to be kind and loving, to yourself and to others.

ARIES
A long-awaited, long-term decision about your career is likely around 10th; your confidence is high and your imagination boundless. Take care about close relationships on Valentine's day; don't place too many restrictions around a loved one. You can build on past work from 15th.

TAURUS
You get a great opportunity to heal an old wound on 7th Feb. Do take it, as the following week on 14th, misunderstandings are likely and your behaviour could be perceived as aggressive. After this date things calm down; a breakthrough in a close relationship is possible on 16th.

GEMINI
Make a note of any ideas you have around 6th, as your create mind is flying; and the 10th could bring an opportunity to put some of these into practice. This heralds a period of greater stability for you, though use your head rather than heart in making a decision about a close relationship.

CANCER
If you feel as though your plans or ideas are being restricted by someone close as the month begins, this changes after the first week into a sense of security that someone cares so much. So avoid arguments at this sensitive time; after 12th there is much more fun, and romance, around you.

LEO
Mars, transiting your sign, takes on some big planetary challenges this month. On 10th and 12th caution is advised about big decisions, and on 14th, do something romantic, but let your loved one take the lead as you're not thinking clearly. Long-term plans start to materialise after 15th.

VIRGO
Jupiter, making its way through your house of relationships, encounters some resistance. 5th, 6th and 10th may not be the best time to put forward big ideas. Romantically things improve from 11th, and 16th marks the start of a very happy period of peace, harmony and mutual goals.

LIBRA
If you envisioned a lazy month, think again! One issue after another is brought to you to be sorted out, from physical help being required in the first week, to the resolution of disagreements in mid-month. Remember to keep a balance between your emotional needs and those of others.

SCORPIO
Feisty Scorpios may need to do some tongue-biting from 10th to 14th; understanding is needed that not everyone shares your personal bigger picture. From 14th your home life takes a more peaceful turn, and from 15th your plans start to take shape, ending a period of uncertainty.

SAGITTARIUS
Hold off from jumping to conclusions on 5th as one situation is shortly to become much clearer. On 10th there is an opportunity which you would do well to consider taking. After 16th things are much calmer; your home life, particularly, improves. A career decision may be made on 28th.

CAPRICORN
You have been re-balancing your life priorities for some time, and this month you start to see the benefits. Watch for a big decision to be made around 6th. A relationship hits a rocky patch on 14th; but within a day you have the chance to put things right. After this comes a calmer time.

AQUARIUS
Mercury enters your sign on 10th, and heralds a short period, up to 14th, when a breakthrough can be made where communications have become difficult or broken down completely. This is a time, which continues afterwards, when people begin to show you the understanding you deserve.

PISCES
A slightly disgruntled start to the month makes way on 6th for a happy time when you feel more secure. Your state of mind further improves from 11th, and mid-month you sail through a couple of emotional challenges with wisdom and a sense of peace. This is a period of great healing.
