Following is a general overview of how
the planetary trends for February/March, 2012 apply to each sun sign.
If you know your rising
sign (Ascendant), read that, too,
for additional insights.
Aries (March 20—April
19)
You're keen to apply
yourself to your work and the pursuit of professional objectives with the
holiday season now behind you. Never one to let the grass grow under your
feet, you may also be considering your options for the future. Securing
a steady income and stabilizing your finances will be a high priority, and
you set about devising your master plan or strategy. Lucky Venus crosses
your solar ascendant into your first house as the full moon culminates in
fiery Leo on February 7th, enhancing your innate charm and charisma, while
increasing your chances of financial gain in the weeks ahead. With your
ruling planet, Mars, in retrograde till mid-April, don't push too hard to
make things happen. Progress with personal plans can indeed be made if you
simply go with the flow of events, and always keep your objective in your
sights.
Taurus (April
19—May 20)
The pursuit
of personal and professional objectives will be high on your agenda in February,
though it may also be necessary to juggle pressing domestic needs, particularly
early in the month. Be prepared to settle for making measured progress towards
your goals, rather than rushing ahead in anticipation of achieving rapid results,
as you could encounter delays. Lucky Venus, your ruling planet, crosses your
solar ascendant and moves into your first house on March 5th, then links up
with Jupiter, planet of largesse, on the 13th, dramatically increasing the
possibility of good fortune coming your way this month, while enhancing your
personal magnetism and powers of persuasion. Indeed, your charm could open
doors for you now, if used wisely and with tact. Harness your considerable
creative abilities and imagination to find alternative or innovative ways
to attain your objectives.
Gemini (May
20—June 21)
The sun and
Mercury, your ruling planet, are riding high through your solar chart throughout
this forecast period, bringing good news and opportunities to gain knowledge
and wisdom, and to make progress with your worldly endeavors, especially when
they are conjunct at the Leo full moon on February 7th. The seeds for a new
career path or educational objective can be sewn at the Pisces new moon on
the 21st, when your past experience or former business connections could prove
helpful to your cause. Activities in your domestic environment increase in
early March, when changes in your living arrangements are possible. It could
be that your plans for the future may involve a move, but be sure to carefully
consider all your options before doing so, particularly as your ruling planet,
Mercury, will be retrograde from March 11th through April 4th,when any binding
decisions should be avoided. Your intuition will be more reliable than logic
and reason now.
Cancer (June
21—July 22)
It may be possible
to reinvigorate your financial prospects during February, following some news
or information that comes your way. You're keen to expand your horizons, and
look to the future with hope and optimism, as you seek new ways to bring your
creative ideas to market. It's possible that your reputation and past experience
could be useful to you now, as opportunities to share your wisdom or expertise
could arise. Indeed, your knowledge or ideas may be in great demand, and you're
ready and willing to share what you know. Your inspiration and creativity
can soar to new heights, in a process that can be both cathartic and healing.
This can lead to the seeds of a new career path being sewn, though you may
need to be patient as the various elements fall into place. .
Leo (July
22—Aug 22)
Communications
with significant others in your life feature prominently in early February,
when their ideas and input may be helpful to you. You may have some serious
concerns regarding your career prospects, and your ability to handle certain
responsibilities. And yet you know that you are both capable and resourceful,
so it may be that your confidence needs a boost. Work on eliminating outworn
thought or behavior patterns, doubts or fears which may be rooted in the distant
past and have little relevance in your life today that may be impeding your
worldly progress. The inspiration you seek lies within and is available to
you now. The more "baggage" you can eliminate the clearer your thinking
will become. You could get a lucky break during March that may boost your
career prospects. Don't be afraid to toot your own horn, as you never know
who might enjoy the tune! Keep a tight rein on your purse strings to safeguard
your hard-earned money.
Virgo
(Aug 22—Sept 22)
You are focused on your work now,
and keen to embrace new possibilities to further your goals. Some good news
or information may come your way in early February that gives you hope for
a bright new future. With Neptune now in Pisces, partners or significant others
could play a key role in helping you on your way towards the career fulfillment
that you crave. A new partnership or professional alliance could open doors
for you during this period, with the opportunity to broaden your horizons
along more enterprising lines. Your creativity can flourish during March,
when it may be possible to add to your income through your industry, application
and determination to be successful. Be alert where financial contracts or
negotiations are concerned, particularly while Mercury is retrograde, from
March 11th through April 4th. Read the fine print carefully, and avoid making
any binding agreements until Mercury resumes direct movement.
Libra (Sept
22—Oct 22)
You find joy
and happiness during February through engaging in creative self-expression.
It can also be emotionally uplifting to commune with your creative muse now,
liberating aspects of your personality that might otherwise be blocked. Saturn's
lengthy passage through your solar first house has not been easy on your self-image,
and yet, look how far you've come in just a few short years. You are feeling
more confident and outgoing, and the more baggage you can purge from your
psyche the stronger you will become. This resurgence of confidence could bring
new employment opportunities your way, which could be both cathartic and healing.
Your dreams these days could be quite vivid and colorful, and may provide
insights into unrequited personal desires and aspirations. With lucky Venus,
your ruling planet, and Jupiter in your solar eighth house during March, a
modest upturn in your financial fortunes is possible.
Scorpio (Oct
22—Nov 21)
Domestic concerns
may be uppermost in your mind in early February, as you seek to bring a period
of instability into balance. You're keen to make progress toward some personal
goals, and enlist the help and support of friends in your quest. The creative
urge within you seeks tangible results and outlets; simply imagineering, you
feel, will no longer suffice. Nonetheless, your powers of creative visualization
are exceptionally strong now, and you may be surprised at how well you can
manifest what you focus upon. Your financial prospects brighten during March,
when you and a partner could get a lucky break, perhaps in the form of a stimulating
new work assignment, or an opportunity to make money from an innovative, yet
very practical, enterprise. Consider upgrading your health and fitness regimen
to increase your vitality and stamina following the Aries new moon (March
22) in your solar sixth house. It will also help you to discharge excess nervous
energy.
Sagittarius (Nov
21—Dec 21)
Between work,
errands, catching up with messages and communications, and a plethora of short
trips, February could start off at a rather hectic pace. However, your home
is also your sanctuary, and later in the month you will relish spending some
quality time there, leisurely catching up on housework, perhaps, but also
with time to reflect on the past and to visualize that bright new future you've
been promising yourself for a while now. It may not be long before duty calls
once again and your services are much in demand, and you may find it necessary
to juggle your professional obligations with domestic needs. Fortunately,
it's likely that you're making decent money for your occupational efforts,
so you're more than happy to strike a manageable balance between the two.
Indeed, your diligence at work may pay handsome dividends towards the end
of this forecast period. Be sure to set something aside for that proverbial
rainy day.
Capricorn (Dec
21—Jan 20)
You're focused
on generating income in early February, and full of bright ideas on how to
go about it. You are also highly motivated to pursue your innovative plans
for the future. Indeed, these worthy objectives are intrinsically linked,
and you are determined to be successful in your quest for worldly attainment.
The acquisition of new skills and knowledge may also be on your agenda, and
to this end you may sign up for a class or course, perhaps to obtain a particular
accreditation that would be beneficial to your career aspirations. Some Capricorn
natives may even contemplate relocating, or consider making some significant
improvements to your present domicile. Somehow, an inner restlessness you've
been feeling must be assuaged, which may stem, in part, from a fundamental
shift in your priorities. Take your time with important decisions, that way
you're more likely to make the right one!
Aquarius (Jan
20—Feb 18)
The new moon
in your sign from January 23rd continues to inspire affirmative action with
a personal project in early February, which has the hallmark of success stamped
all over it! It may also prove to be quite lucrative in the fullness of time.
A new partnership venture is another possibility, which, again, could be particularly
lucrative. You would be wise to settle for measured progress initially, rather
than to anticipate rapid results, as action planet, Mars is in retrograde
till April 13th, and the motive force necessary for such ambition will be
lacking. The future is, indeed, looking bright at the moment, and you may
be experiencing an emotional high. You may be keen to feather your nest during
March, or to move to more spacious accommodations. Just be sure to carefully
check the fine print in any contracts you sign, and if you can, wait until
after April 4th to do so.
Pisces (Feb
18—March 20)
If you're feeling
more inspired and idealistic than ever these days, it may be due to arrival
of your ruling planet, Neptune, in your sign on February 3rd. You may also
perceive a quickening of your intuitive senses, as it links up favorably with
Jupiter, your sign's co-ruler, flooding your mind with vivid imagery that
you will be able to translate into bright ideas. Be sure to keep a notebook
handy, in which to record these novel notions, as they may be ephemeral in
nature and quite fleeting. Handle important relationships with care, and be
the epitome of tact and diplomacy, as with feisty Mars in retrograde in your
solar seventh house your motives or intentions might be misconstrued. Likewise,
exercise caution and discretion in your spending habits, so that your money
will be there when you need it most.
