Your February Horoscope by Susan Miller
February will be an outstanding month in many areas of your life, including love, and you will see the truth of this the moment the month takes off. February is unusual in that there so many sweet aspects that are as if the universe gathered them from the year, picking and choosing them carefully, and like little chocolates, spilling them all into February.
You appear to be thinking intently about your partner, and that is such an appropriate focus for you to have in a month that holds Valentine's Day, February 14. This month favors Leos who are attached, for if that describes you, you will reminisce about the moments you've shared and all that you can now build together in the future.
You appear to be thinking seriously about taking the next step in relationship closeness - the rings, the tender engagement, a dream of a wedding, the birth of your first child, and someday, the move into a house or condo of your own. All or some of these events may be part of your dream. This may be in your future, or you may have already experienced some of these joyous life landmarks. Either way, you may be overcome with gratitude for a life of beauty that you are actively creating together.
If you are single, you will have your turn to meet someone who may be right for you on February 13. Give a cocktail party for single friends at home, and have friends bring someone along who you feel at least one person there should meet. This day brings Mars, the action planet, to an ideal angle of Jupiter, the generous planet that rules your house of true love. This day, a Saturday, could turn out to be the very best day, so if you cannot give a party at home (your best place to make the acquaintance of a new romantic interest), then at least go out and enjoy the evening with friends.
Speaking of home, you seem very intent on solving a question involving your living quarters. Mars will help you find solid options all month, a trend that started when Mars entered Scorpio on January 3 and that will be active through next month, March 5. (Last month Mercury was retrograde but moved forward on January 25.) You would be wise to focus in on your home-related goal. After Mars leaves Scorpio on March 5, you will have to wait two years to have similar powerful support from Mas. While you will always find home and family solutions and opportunities after Mars has left, it will be easier to settle things now. Mars is energetic and quick, so by all means, search for answers while your progress in this area will be high. There is one outstandingly lucky day for home and property matters, February 13-14, so use this day too, for Mars and Jupiter will be in close communication.
Financially, you should be doing exceptionally well these days, as you have a rare, once-in-a decade visit of Jupiter, the great good fortune planet, currently in your second house of salary until September. If you have asked for a raise or are negotiating a new salary with a new firm, the full moon February 22, plus or minus four days, will bring you the answer, and it appears it will be positive. If you are self-employed, you might now be paid for a large project you recently finished. Neptune will oppose this full moon, however, so you may find that there are confusing elements to the deal you are discussing that need to be sorted out before you sign. Don't be shy about asking a lot of questions. Still, if you are selling a piece of art, or are focused on something you composed or created, or if you are supporting other creative people as part of your profession, Neptune's presence will be lucky, for Neptune is the planet that encourages artistic expressions.
The month will end on an exciting note. On February 26, a Friday, Mercury, in your house of committed significant other, will reach out to Uranus, planet of surprise. You may get a very romantic text message, or you may both take a spontaneous trip. Either way, this day will mark an exciting start to a truly great weekend.
On Leap Year Day, February 29, old tradition says the tables are turned and a woman is able to ask for her lover's hand in marriage. We laugh at this quaint custom, because in modern day women don't wait anymore if they feel their lover is waiting too long to pop the question. This year, if you are a shy person, there is no harm in bringing up the subject of marriage provided you feel you've both dated a long time and you know there are deep feelings for one another on both sides. Make a plan - Venus and Saturn will work together to support you all the way on this day.
“Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.”
