MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
You’re locked, loaded and ready to roll. The Sun is in Aquarius, your tenth house of career and success, until the 18th. Nobody can mess with a stampeding Bull, so set up a structure and don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked. There may not be as much time for family or loved ones, but you don’t want to squander this prosperous window. Hammer down a framework for your goals and intentions and you can play later this month.

After the 18th, the Sun joins pleasure-seeking Venus, lucky Jupiter and free-thinking Uranus in Pisces, your eleventh house of group activity. Get out into the wider world and nurture friendships, join social circles and attend industry events. Do service work for a cause, or link up with a forward-thinking crew. This is a time to explore with an open mind—everything from networking marketing seminars to transcendental meditation groups. Don’t judge; just go and sniff out the scene. Technology is your friend this month, too. Whether you’re job prospecting or hunting for a date, use social media sites like LinkedIn and Facebook to spread the word among friends.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Keep building stability into your relationship for the first half of February. Love-planet Venus is in Aquarius until the 11th, encouraging you to up the standards into your love life. Serious talks about the future and life planning could ensue—do your priorities and values align? Then, bring on the fun! On February 11th, Venus enters Pisces, your people-loving eleventh house. This cycle ushers in new friends who introduce single Bulls to cool new dating prospects, and breathes life into stale relationships that could use reviving.

On Valentine’s Day, the moon, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus all gather in Pisces, making for an evening of feather-light fancy. Forget about enacting a Gothic romance scene ripped from the pages of a vampire novel. Go dance your ass off to ‘80s music with a lively crew of friends and their dates. Or, host an anti-Valentine’s party for singles and couples alike, and raise donations for a worthy cause, like a food bank or an animal shelter.

The really romantic day is February 28th, when the Virgo full moon beams into your fifth house of luminescent love. Passion runs high, but tempers can, too, so keep your reactions in check. Breathe, Taurus. Breathe. This full moon will also oppose Jupiter, suggesting that you might need a little breathing room in your relationship. Being worshipped and adored is great, but too much of a good thing can be smothering. You may be feeling a bit insatiable for affection, but watch the diva-style demands. It’s time to get a life of your own. One person can’t meet all your needs, Taurus.

MONEY & CAREER:
Your career is in high cycle for the first three weeks of February, while the Sun is in Aquarius. Your tenth house of leadership and success is blazing hot, and this could be one of 2010’s professional high points. It’s an important time to clarify your goals and choose your business allies wisely. On February 13th, the Aquarius new moon sets off a six-month cycle of prosperity, and could send you down a whole new path. Keep your ears perked for opportunity. Even if you stay put in your current job, consider: where would you like to be by July? Write down a few intentions and map out a few rough action steps.

This new moon will align with compassionate Neptune, the mystic healer. You could find yourself yearning for meaning and soul fulfillment to accompany that steady paycheck. Creativity, art, dance, music, spirituality—these elements could all somehow infuse or inspire your next career cycle, even if they’re done on the side. Explore how you can make money and a difference. If you’re a business owner, consider donating 5 percent of your profits to a scholarship or clean water fund, for example. The company you keep is crucial now, too. Surround yourself with people whose careers and choices you admire—those who achieve great success and elevate humanity at the same time.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Starting a health kick is exciting, but maintenance is a bitch. Still, you must solider on. Disciplinarian Saturn is retrograde (backward) in your well-being sector until April. During this period, bad habits have a way of creeping back if you slack off. Working with a coach or trainer can keep you on your path—but this person will need to be strong enough to handle your moments of mighty resistance. Little habits lead to big transformations, so push through that plateau.

In the meantime, psyche-shifting Pluto is in your ninth house of the higher mind. Keep peeling away layers of doubt and limiting old beliefs. Your skepticism will lead you directly there. Try having a little faith that everything is going according to plan. Mid-month, the new moon and Neptune join to heal any pain around your father or men overall. If you’ve been disappointed by a man in your life, it’s time to forgive, accept him as he is, and know that you’re divinely protected, no matter what. With Mars retrograde in your domestic sector until March, family tension could flare up, or you may deal with stress around your living situation. As the old British war posters said, Keep calm and carry on
