monthly horoscopes - february 2010

	aries
	march 20 - april 19
	It’s a month of two halves, beginning on an extrovert note with an increasing emphasis on your inner life. This doesn’t mean you’ll be a hermit, you’re not the type and besides, your closest relationships of a romantic and personal nature figure too strongly to cut yourself off completely. Nevertheless, you’re entering the closing stages of your own natural cycle, where in the month or so before your birthday your vital energies refocus themselves for a review of your progress over the previous twelve months. Your private life especially is something you need to think about, chiefly where do you go from here…

taurus
april 20 - may 20
You can’t dismiss your problems as trivial. There are significant issues, but you’ve seen tougher and the resolution is easily within your grasp. Though you fear revealing your innate sensitivity in a situation that could get you hurt, bullishness is the most inappropriate solution, trying to bluff and bluster you way through while alienating those around you in the process. Your unhappiness pinpoints the gap that’s increasingly obvious between the ideal situation you envisage for yourself and what is actually going on, primarily at home. Ignoring the issues won’t make them go away and only causes them to get worse…

	If you’re working and have career aims in mind, February promises considerable progress and rewards, providing you are ready to keep applying yourself. Authority figures are more receptive than usual, making it a good time for sorting things out with them too. Light-hearted pursuits may need to go on hold for a while, because much is happening and you have to focus your attention. These trends bring benefits of a material nature your way, while it’s important to remember that the spotlight falls on all your ambitions equally, so may favour other than regular employment, if that’s a bigger draw for you…

june 21 - july 22
February or not, you need a holiday, probably alone or with someone who won’t make many demands on you. Maybe you could manage a day or so, but anything longer looks unlikely, with the stresses of earning a living in the material universe showing little sign of giving you a break. Perhaps this makes money too short for such relaxation, or else to ensure your future security you must show willing to devote your time and energy now. If even the briefest trip seems out of the question, it’s important to broaden your intellectual horizons instead, letting your mind find solace somewhere it wouldn’t usually.

	Rage is a primitive response when you don’t get what you want. Watch many children and you’ll see this clearly, screaming and crying for sweets, to see friends, to use the computer, the list is sadly limited like the range of reactions. As you mature it is presumed you’ll deal with situations differently, that your coping mechanisms become more complex and eventually better suited to attaining your aims, though it doesn’t take much for many to get knocked straight back into the emotional kindergarten. Especially at work and in close relationships, it’s always wisest to reiterate consciously that things are not the same…

virgo
august 23 - september 22
Normally, you are modest and retiring, only now several very assertive trends counteract your usual approach. At the same time you feel compelled to keep the peace, which could lead to some tricky dilemmas from a psychological point of view. Try to stay active and busy, doing something constructive if you can, because that way you’ll embrace a feeling of achievement and won’t have the energy to get annoyed. You may be lucky and know people to spar with good-naturedly, but attempting to ignore these drives only sees them surfacing anyway, in petty ways that everyone finds hard to understand.

	libra
	september 23 - october 22
	Overnight success is a strange thing, as a spectator you know about the outcome, but you don’t see all the years of hard work leading up to this sudden turnaround. Likewise, though it seems at the moment you have a mountain to climb, the hardest journey starts exactly the same way as the easiest jaunt, with one step in the right direction. Wishing and dreaming aren’t really sufficient, you need an ideal and a goal to aim towards, plus a lot of dedication along the way. Preparation is perhaps the most important factor, you wouldn’t conquer the Himalayas in your sneakers, no matter how good a climber you were.

scorpio
october 23 - november 21
There will always be someone telling you not to do that. Supposing you were on an island with nobody around, it would be the strictures of your environment and the limitations of your surroundings, doing exactly the same thing. You’ll agree society needs rules, guidelines protecting the vulnerable for instance, or to stop the violent and the manipulative using others for selfish purposes. Ideally these laws have a constructive basis more than a repressive purpose, so while it’s tempting to feel checked at every turn, think about the power of working within a structure, like writing great poetry for instance…

	sagittarius
	november 22 - december 21
	You prefer to believe you’re a free thinker, but there are others with more progressive ideas. Your standpoint is considered tolerant within the cultural milieu you inhabit, but your outlook is strongly affected by your background and the values instilled by your family in particular. This can be a blessing during periods of doubt, but it may prove a hindrance when it comes to certain fundamentals you’re unable to challenge, or don’t even realise you can question. Though some elevated tenets persist down through the ages, others need reviewing regularly, to remain so pertinent as they always used to be.

capricorn
december 22 - january 19
You really need to clear the air and say a few things that have been on your mind. Most likely you won’t though for a couple of reasons. First you don’t need the stress, this just isn’t in your face enough, to risk causing an argument that will probably turn out worse. Second, you worry it’ll cost you in financial terms, so you keep quiet while maintaining an inscrutable veneer, because nobody is going to know. Time passes and with your self-control you’ll no doubt sail through, finishing up looking more or less intact. But actually, it’s just further damage you’ve internalised, ready and waiting for you in the future…

	aquarius
	january 20 - february 18
	Without money or relationships to worry over, you imagine you’d be fine. You’d hang out in the world of imagination, periodically dropping by with a few inspired offerings, before vanishing away where you were before. Others would be smitten by your mystery and intrigue, but that’s where the trouble starts, because once attachments feature you are tempted to assume a physical form, and who knows what horrors may follow then, like a mortgage or a proper job. It’s an exaggeration close to the truth, except you’d probably have floated away totally, if one liaison in particular hadn’t helped you to keep it locked.

february 19 - march 19
Life remains extremely busy and you must look after yourself. There seems little opportunity, but the attention you pay to your well-being comes back many times over, with improved stamina and vitality, a more robust constitution and the ability to stay on top of your workload a few of the consequences. A good diet and plenty of exercise prove more of a tonic, than seeking any respite from your schedule. Meantime, anticipate further good news, with a group of planets building in your sign. As you pursue your unassuming agenda, the cosmos backs you fully, making you pretty much unstoppable nowadays…
