General:
Before the month even begins, you have managed to achieve what you have been working for months to achieve or you will at least be well on the road to pulling it off and that is finding the right work/life balance. With Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition running out of time, with his 3 month retrograde period in your career sector now in its final month, you can't afford to put things off any longer. It was the conflict that this created on the home front, where there was an equally important need for your attention, which at times left you feeling torn in two or under pressure from two areas of your life that both held so many opportunities. It was a Full Moon in your career sector on the 30^th January that finally brought things to a head, giving you a chance to separate things out. This is where things stand at the start of the month, with Mars able to get things moving on the professional front, his mission to gain as much from the past as possible now in full swing. Yet at the same time this is when things are also falling into place on the home front, with a New Moon in your home and family sector on the 14^th February giving you a chance to draw a line in the sand. Meanwhile it's Jupiter, planet of luck's first full month in your romantic and creative sector that sets this month apart and while things may be slow to take off, once Venus arrives on the 12^th February it will light a spark that will finally get your luckiest romantic and creative stars in a decade moving.

Love:
Don't be surprised if you're feeling a little cynical at the start of the month for while Jupiter, planet of luck, moved into your romantic sector last month, the spark that will get things moving won't happen until the 12^th February. It's on the 12^th February that Venus, planet of love returns to your romantic sector, for what is usually your most romantic weeks of the year. For the first time in 12 years she joins forces with Jupiter, who expands the romantic desires Venus always brings into play while here and the laws of attraction that she evokes. He'll gain a lot from Venus' presence and Venus will gain a lot from having Jupiter here. For the first time in 12 years you'll have the planet of love and luck working as a team, to get things moving on the romantic front. They align on the 16^th/18^th February, destined to be some of the luckiest romantic days in over a decade. They're joined by the Sun on the 19^th February and arriving a week after Venus, it will be very clear that your heart is in control. The Sun will align with Venus on the 28^th February, creating a very clear insight into the lucky forces that are now propelling things forward on the romantic front.

Money:
It's the work/life balance that you're able to find this month, that is likely to bring a lot more financial confidence, especially in a month where there is no big financial demands or urgent agendas. The Sun left your income sector just a few days before Christmas and Venus the day after, so before 2010 even began you had a clear sense of your income objectives. So long as you continue to refer back to those, without over thinking or questioning your expectations, then it's simply a matter of staying on track. It's the Moon's return to your income sector each month that will help you adjust your bearings, with lunar vibes giving you an intuitive read of whether you're on track or not. That happens from the 7^th to the 9^th February, a period when you'll have a nose for an opportunity or for a bargain. Most importantly this gives you a chance to refer back to the intentions you came into the year with. It's now that Mars is a lot more active on the career front, thanks to the push things got in the final few days of January that the machinery needed to drive your income expectations for the year is finally in place. With no planetary activity in either of your money houses until Venus reaches your financial sector on the 25^th April, focus more on keeping things on track.

Business:
Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition spends his last full month in retrograde motion in your career sector and spurred on by a Full Moon on the 30^th January and pressure from the Sun and Venus, he's ready to make things happen. In retrograde motion since the 21^st December, this has seen things either moving slowly since then or there has been a feeling that things have been blocked or that you were moving through molasses. This increased at the end of last month, when both the Sun and Venus put pressure on Mars, just when he was ready to get things moving. That pressure was coming from the home front, where a lot of your time and attention was being drawn, but the Full Moon on the 30^th January, just 2 days before the month began, has helped clear the way. This sees you move into February with a fresh sense of enthusiasm and a determination to make things happen. While things will start moving forward and into new directions from next month, February is all about making sure that you have tied up as many loose ends as possible and to ensure that no stone is left unturned.
