With several planets in your sign in February, life is on your side this month. Retrograde Mars in Leo however is not. Last month’s relationship pattern continues with Mars the planet of passion out of phase through mid–March in your relationship, one on one zone. You’ll have difficulty connecting with people and some will resist your attempts to promote partnership efforts. So if you feel you are coming on too strong and being too pushy, pull back and wait it out. If you push, other people will push away and back.

The Feb 13 New Moon in your sign is all about YOU. You, your hopes, your wishes, desires and goals. Put Mercury in your sign from the 10th onwards to good use. Contemplate what it is you want to achieve in the next 12 months. Your New Moon represents a fresh start and a time to really focus on what it is you want to achieve over the next 365 days. You have to have a PLAN boys and girls. Without a plan, you simply drift along through life and don’t ever really cement yourself anywhere or to anyone. Which being a fixed sign, you do need to do at some point, despite your emotional unavailability most of the time…

On the flip side, this is a great time for you to strike up conversations and make connections with strangers. While your more serious relationships aren’t working out so well, your less serious ones can. As ’weird’ as it may sound, the person sitting next to you on a plane, on a bus, at the library, while waiting for your morning coffee etc is someone who could be a ’stopgap’ friend for you at this topsy turvy relationship vortex you’re currently in. A stranger you meet through unusual circumstances could be your ’lucky charm’, the one who sparks an idea or new insights into a puzzling personal dilemma. Just don’t blindly accept what you hear though. Mars and Saturn retrograde (Saturn retrograde in your spiritual and higher learning zone through April 8) push you to be more cautious than usual and question everything and everyone.

Aquarius February mantra: It’s a month to dream big but hold back on making any sudden moves.
