Hi Taurus! Valentine’s Day
could be a washout for bulls this month, as Mars continues his retrograde spin
through your house of romance! Squabbles, temper tantrums and frustration
will plague you as you try to get your love affairs off the ground, so you may
decide to stay at home by yourself instead! Mars as you know, is the
dynamo of the Zodiac, so when he is moving backwards all his power is stifled,
causing irritability and a general lack of motivation. As a result, you
will feel impulsive and irritable in matters of the heart, and relationships
with children could also be tricky. Your creativity could also take a
knock as expressing yourself is difficult, and projects which you started in
mid-December could suddenly seem pointless around now, or be beset with all
kinds of problems. You won’t be back on track with these projects until
early summer, so plenty of patience will be required!
Neptune moves into your house of
friends on the 4th of February, where he immediately conjuncts Chiron, and this
will be the start of a period of forgiveness and compassion in all your
friendships. It’s a time for healing old wounds and moving on, and
although there may be a certain amount of papering over the cracks involved,
this is necessary right now if it restores harmony. You will
probably find that you also attract very creative, kindly people into your life
at this time, particularly around the days of the new Moon on the 21st, and
there will be a naiveté about them too, which will make you feel protective of
their interests. Once the Sun arrives in this area on the 20th, your
charisma will also be powerful, and you may find you are called upon to take the
lead in group situations. Just be wary of some very turbulent aspects
connected to finances, as arguments will arise over who has paid for
what!
There is lots of activity in your
career sector during the first three weeks of the month, it’s a prominent time
for meetings to discuss your progress, or interviews for new jobs. You
will be eloquent and full of good ideas, but make sure you talk slowly so that
people grasp all your fabulous opinions! Someone in authority will be
impressed by your hard work and dedication around the 11th to 18th, and this
person may help you to secure a promotion. There will be lots to do if you
want to impress those who count though, you really will need to pull out all the
stops before the end of the month and put in some extra hours. Make good
use of the extra day that February brings this year! Success will come but
it will be delayed, as Saturn is about to turn retrograde on the 8th in your
work zone, so keep pushing forward. Watch your health too as we move
into mid-month, your body will be tired and you may encounter problems with your
skin or teeth.
Jupiter maintains his trine with
Pluto until early March, which continues to bring strong desires to break free
of hum drum and see something of the world. You may feel stifled by
demanding family members at this time too, and the full Moon on the 7th will
bring a difficult domestic situation to a head when a chance conversation
becomes heated. Take care that your desire to escape from boring routines
doesn’t make you too hasty to remove yourself from this situation, it is in your
best interests to pacify certain family members! Have a fabulous
February!
