General:
For you, February is always a month of two halves, with the centre line usually falling at the two thirds mark. At the start of each February your solar year is in wind down mode, with the Sun usually returning to your sign around the 19^th February. Even though the Sun won't return to your sign until the 19^th February and until then you will be winding down your current solar year and until the 12^th February your current Venus cycle as well, this isn't as all consuming as it is in the past, with new doors already opening. That's because Jupiter, planet of luck returned to your sign last month, making this the first month of a brand new Jupiter cycle. With Venus returning to your sign on the 12^th February and the Sun on the 19^th February, there may be some frustration, but it's going to bring with it a higher sense of anticipation and a need to move on. When the Sun and Venus return to your sign, your Jupiter return will really kick in, with some of the luckiest weeks of the year laying between now and the end of next month. But it's your luckiest days in more than a decade fall this month, when on the 16^th/18^th February Venus aligns with Jupiter and on the 28^th February the Sun aligns with Jupiter. Regardless of how many challenges you're facing, how much unfinished business or where you are right now, your future is throwing you a lifeline. This is going to put a different complexion on everything else happening this month, especially on the work and financial fronts, where there are missed opportunities to be exploited.

Love:
This is a month of two halves as far as your heart is concerned. As the month begins Venus, planet of love and romance is in a very nostalgic part of your chart, where she is putting closure to a Venus cycle that began in January 2009 and witnessed some of the most challenging relationship forces in 3 decades. Yet in these final days Venus is creating an opportunity to look back through more loving and forgiving lenses, allowing you to see past the pressure and recapture a sense of magic. This helps you to put the past into perspective, knowing that to do that there has to be balance. This puts you into a very nostalgic mode at the start of the month but this changes dramatically on the 12^th February when Venus, planet of love returns to your sign. While this is an annual event, for the first time in 12 years you're beginning a new Venus cycle with Jupiter, planet of luck involved. Having the planets of love and luck involved, kicks your new Venus cycle off to an auspicious start, expanding the romantic desires and the laws of attraction that Venus usually evokes. This will be most potent when Venus and Jupiter align, from the 16^th to the 18^th February.

Money:
As Saturn spends his first full month in retrograde motion in your financial sector, he could almost fly under the radar, with very few demands and very little urgency. The Saturn you have in your financial sector now is not the Saturn you'll encounter in the second half of the year and it's not the Saturn your cosmic mates who had Saturn in their financial sector last year experienced. This is almost a practice run for Saturn, with his retrograde move taking him back out on the 8^th April, not returning until the 22^nd April. But ignore Saturn at your peril, for while he's playing the good cop now, when he returns he'll be playing the bad cop and good or bad, he's still playing the cop. He's on a mission that will take until October 2012 to play out, to revise your financial situation and eventually that will include some of the toughest wake up calls you've ever had. You may wonder why Saturn suddenly turns on you, except it won't be sudden and it won't be unexpected, because you've been pre warned. By the time he does return as the bad cop, conditions in your life will have changed, with some of the luckiest income opportunities developing, from early June onwards, that will turn any pressure from Saturn into a case of the right pressure, at the right time. In the meantime, it's imperative to work with Saturn now and while he's not demanding too much from you, you need to. You need to be the bad cop, taking yourself to task, taking responsibility and becoming accountable. The more you can work on now, when you don't have to, the easier Saturn will be on you and the more this will free you up for the extreme income opportunities ahead.

Business:
After being in retrograde motion in your work sector since the 21^st December and under pressure from the Sun and Venus in the later days of January Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition, finally got his own back on the 30^th January, when a Full Moon gave him the push start and the validation he needed. Mars was ready to get things moving a long time before now, but was held back by his opposition with the Sun and Venus and the way they were slowing things down. While at the start of the month the Sun and Venus are still in the closing phase of their current cycles and your old solar year is winding down, a time when your energy levels are usually lower, Mars is counteracting that with an impatience to get things moving. This is his second full month in retrograde motion in your work sector but it's also his last and is the month when he's able to get on with the job that he came back for. Expect to move into the month feeling a little frustrated, tied back and fed up and then use that to your advantage. This is not a time to settle for the status quo, for this is your chance to retrace your steps and ensure that no stone has been left unturned. By the time Mars turns direct on the 11^th March, you need to know that the past has been fully explored and that you're more than ready to move on.
