Your age–old quandary – is this real or is it just a dream? – takes on a new meaning this month as the elusive key to your psyche finally shows up. However, you are distracted from self–analysis by other people’s demands. While this is frustrating for some of you, get whatever it is you have to do out of the way and then you can focus on the things you want to do and enjoy doing.

Work life picks up under the Full Moon on the 7th. Balance busy days with evening exercise or time with a hobby or interesting people you don’t normally get to spend quality time with. Even socializing with friends is something you will enjoy more than usual. You could hear confidential job–related information around the time of the Full Moon or a coworker might share a secret. Don’t share any of yours in return…because it’s likely to be revealed later on in the month.

Unexpected expenses could arise after Venus enters Aries, your second house of self–esteem and money. Venus spent the last month urging you to splurge and spend money some of you don’t have, while now Venus in Aries urges you to pay off your bills and be fiscally responsible. Venus is always a catch–22 kinda girl. Through March 5, so well into your cosmic start to your year (your birthday), you will have to face all sorts of financial quandaries. Hopefully you have someone to advise you/help you with the big decisions – like refinancing etc.

And again this month relationships will be rocky with Mars the planet of energy out of phase in your opposite sign of Virgo, your relationship zone. If you can’t think of anything nice to say or helpful to suggest, shut your trap. Saturn, the planet of focus and discipline retrogrades Feb 7–June 25 in your 8th house of joint resources and projects. Put a joint project or investment on hold until July if you can.
