Mercury enters Aquarius just as Venus leaves, so you should find your days to be especially busy over the coming weeks. This is a good social and networking month for you. It's also a good month to explore beyond your usual, so investigate new subjects or financial potentials. You never know where a simple hello or conversation can lead. Time alone for creative exploration, soul searching, personal development, or healing can be quite productive. Mars in Leo continues to energize and refresh your reinvention mandate. This is an important time to observe yourself in action and to implement whatever changes are necessary in order to create your desired upgrades. For some, it is a go it alone time, for others, it is a time to partner up. For all, it's time to ensure that you stay true to what's best for you. Jupiter in Pisces can make you aware of losses or lost ground, but it can also help you to let go of your lost litres too. You can feel a more obvious sense of the river flow, and this facilitates an ease of transition, even for that which seemed tough to face just a little while ago. On the plus side, the influence of Jupiter in Pisces (Venus too) can help you to rediscover/reclaim passion, deeper meaning and purpose, love, faith, and hope. The full moon on Feb 28 could find you overwhelmed with more than you were prepared for. Be forewarned that unforeseen expense, losses, or added problems are quite possible at this time (health, vehicle, equipment repairs, paperwork issues, relationship letdowns). Don't ignore warning signals, take care of business, check in often, ask more questions, don't drink and drive, and stay especially alert.

Ambition looks good on you, especially as you are about to dive into a busy work cycle and/or "fixer-upper" month. Mercury in organized and efficient Capricorn (to Feb 10) can help you to make solid strides forward. Renew your commitment to health and exercise regimes. Enhancements (in all areas) will prove to be especially worthy undertakings. You can improve you relationship with your kids and your co-workers, too. Jupiter (to June 5) and Venus (Feb 11 to Mar 1) in Pisces benefit your social and love life and can also help you to regain your equilibrium or regain a previously lost momentum. You can find that people warm to you quite easily now, so it's a great time to interview for a new job, to scout for new clients, pitch a new product, bid on a new project, etc. It's also the right time to seek favours, grants, raises, etc., to increase your public profile, or put your creative talents out on show. Feb 10 - 18 can be an especially event packed, on the go, social, fun, or lucrative week. (Note, spending and output can increase significantly too.) The action packed full moon in Virgo on Feb 28 can put you on the move or see you take major steps forward again, perhaps unexpectedly so. You could become aware of something (or someone) that you previously overlooked. A spontaneous decision, sudden instinct, or impulsive "take action" moment could prove to be a saving grace or smart move. Guard your health, don't let yourself get caught short, and don't take unnecessary chances.

As the month advances, you can find yourself either completely swamped with work and your day to day challenges, or you will find circumstances to let you off the hook. Here in Vancouver, schools are out for the Olympics; many locals have decided to escape the chaos, and our Canadian parliament is still prorogued. The stimulating new moon in Aquarius, Feb 13, lights up the best part of your chart. While Feb 12 - 14 can be highlight weekend (attend the Olympic opening ceremonies, throw/attend a party or play up the romance), it doesn't stop there! You can expect to feel on a good personal/social spin and keep well entertained throughout the month. New prospects (career/job, romance) are likely to be the best you have seen for awhile. Love ones/kids (and your relationship with them) can be making better strides now too. This new moon sparks your creativity and creative potentials too, so by all means, dive in, explore, conjure, make it happen, and dazzle us while you are at it. The full moon Feb 28 could challenge you with something forgotten, avoided, or ignored. Health, work, or hidden expenses could be especially draining. Of course, if you have been burning the candle at both ends, you may feel especially spent (perhaps you'll need a vacation from the vacation.) Then again, this full moon could simply signal the necessity of getting back to work and of facing clean-up time.

As the Sun (to Feb 18), Venus (to Feb 11) and Mercury (starting Feb 10) tour Aquarius your attention can be focused on setting up new bottom lines and or on getting a new project off the ground. New family, home, or real estate matters can occupy your priority attention too. Reunions or revisits can be quite joyous. While you could feel things are up in the air, (you could feel uprooted or even displaced) once the new moon cycle energizes on Feb 13, you should see things start to fall into place quite readily. As of mid month, adoption, immigration, and other such legal matters can move swiftly forward. .In fact, thanks to the transits of both Venus (Feb 16) and the Sun (Feb 28) conjoined with Jupiter, most activities and ambitions are like to yield especially pleasing fruit. Jupiter's visit to Pisces (through June 5 and again in the fall) bestows grace where you desire it the most. Creativity and romance are two departments where you can feel kissed by the gods. Your popularity and notoriety can be on the upswing, your luck can be too. The last few days of the month and the first few of March can see things open up for you in a big way. Watch for good news and wonderful opportunity re life or love.

Aquarius month provides you with plenty of fresh creative or social stimuli, more lucrative financial or professional opportunity, and renewed hope too. Whatever you may be looking for, you can find your search for the "new and improved" to meet with better success/more reward, especially so once the new moon energizes mid-month. If you are an Olympic enthusiast or participant, (or sports minded for that matter,) you are sure to get your fill of excitement. If you have decided to leave town, well, that will prove delightful too. Jupiter's visit to Pisces can turn your yearnings to nesting, spiritual questing, or personal healing sojourns. Peaceful and soothing environments will hold especially great appeal. In fact, you could disappear once Venus (Feb 11 - Mar 6) and the Sun (Feb 18 - Mar 20) advance into Pisces. Playtime devoted to creative musing can be especially rewarding. Music, poetry, dance, and such can move you deeply. Someone special could touch your soul. The full moon on Feb 28 may bring a disappointment or significant loss; a problem and/or a solution could suddenly become more obvious. Work, responsibilities, or limitations can be particularly draining, health could problematic too.

The month begins with Saturn, your ruler, in retrograde and in dynamic tension to planet Pluto. This compelling (and largely frustrating) forging ahead aspect may have initially blocked or delayed you, but it is one that serves purpose all the same. A positive forward momentum is building, but it is one that first forces adjustment or concessions where you have felt you could least afford them. In some cases, it necessitates a completely revamped program. Don't look at your challenges as lost ground; look at them as an opportunity to entertain completely new possibilities. As time goes on, you will discover what you didn't know previously. Past this first week, you should see circumstances smooth out; more viable options can appear; faster corrections/moving ahead can occur too. In fact, Feb 10 - 18 offers a lucrative time to explore the alternatives and/or move in a new direction. Know you will gain greatly when you put the new to work for you. The Pisces transits - Jupiter to June 6; Uranus to May 27, Venus (Feb 11 to Mar 6) and the Sun (Feb 18 - Mar 20) help you to gain easier acceptance. There is wisdom in relinquishing to the moment; ease up on the controls and go with the flow (to a large extent, you don't have much of a choice.) Trust, in the process, in others, and in your deserving, is essential now. At the same time, it is important to stay alert and awake, and as best you can, don't allow others to take advantage of you. How can you know what is truth, or what is right for you? Let your intuition speak. On another note, mid to end of the month can be an exceptionally creative or inspired time. Your social life and spiritual questing can bring more reward now too.

The full moon on Feb 28 could deliver positive news, favourable test results, opportunity, or advantage. This full moon can be a good time to mix business and pleasure, to study, or upgrade skills. You could find the necessity to travel unexpectedly, scout for more/better, or you may be forced to cancel or change plans. Be especially careful on the road, on the slopes, don't divulge all your secrets, and avoid excessive alcohol consumption too. (Whatever you do, do not drink and drive!)

As this forward-thrust month advances, you should feel like you are picking up good energy too. Venus (to Feb 11), Mercury (starting Feb 10) and your birthday sun should bring you a fresh burst of get up and go. Fresh stimulus and inspiration can be readily found, especially so from mid month forward. Feb 10 - 18 is an ideal time for new initiatives. Unleash yourself, or reinvent the wheel, anyway you like. A new lifestyle is in the works, and along with it comes an important self-discovery and personal regroup cycle. A new physical appearance can be like your declaration to the universe. Experiment. You never know how far you can get unless you give it a try and it's an exceptional time for stage setting. Jupiter in Pisces (through June) can open you up to even more resource or resourcefulness. Go by the natural feel/natural flow, and for the most part, you'll find you simply can't go wrong. Jupiter, Venus (Feb 11 - Mar 6) and the Sun (Feb 18 - Mar 20) can bring financial increase. These planets also bode quite beautifully for romance and creative undertakings.

The full moon Feb 28 could bring advantage where you expect it the least. A default on a deal or contract could fall in your lap. You could move from 2nd place to first, or find that your backup plan is better than your first picks. You may find that you have to step in and take over when someone else can't. Think carefully before you sign up, and don't accept anything at face value. What initially seems like improvement or a lucrative potential, may later reveal costly hidden extras or prove to be a lost litre.

While the direction forward can still be uncertain, or your questions are still unanswered, Jupiter's recent entrance into Pisces can make you feel more hopeful and less challenged. This shift of perspective may be your intuition's prompt, or it can be a matter of acknowledging that you have made it to here okay. That in itself is a major coup or major hurdle out of the way already. Jupiter in Pisces begins a new 12 year "lease on life" growth cycle. It is one that is full of opportunity ripe for the taking. Aquarius month is a time of awakening insights, growing potentials, and refurbished you in the works. It is an ideal time for stage-setting or background research, for planning or new initiatives. Once Venus (Feb 11) and the Sun (Feb 18) join Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces, you can take things up to the next level up. You are in a positive attraction cycle, so know as you step out or branch out, you will meet with ready welcome (especially so mid month forward). New friends, a new social life/lifestyle, new places to be and new things to try, even new love - it can all be brewing for you now.

The revealing full moon Feb 28 could deliver news, unexpected extras or previously unseen advantage, or cause initial disappointment. You may have to pick up slack for another, or find yourself racing to save the day. Know that you could be physically or emotionally vulnerable, so pump up your immunity and don't volunteer or make promises before you have a chance to examine the situation more fully.
