FEBRUARY 2010 StarForce by Alexandria

Your world could be your oyster in February if you're prepared to look at your creations honestly. However, it'll be easy for you to clam up until 9th as your words appear to fall flat with little or no help from an earthbound Mercury. Fortunately, by 10th, Mercury will come into your sign and you’ll feel much more at peace with the flow of change you’re facing so that being in the Now will become your best birthday present.

February is a month of contradictions when deep down you feel that many aspects of your life are on track but there appears to be endless signs to the contrary. So to make your passage through Aquarius constructive, listen to the loving communications of Venus rather than reaching for ego reactions protesting, “It wasn’t my fault.”

There are many surprises concealed in the folds of February but instead of trying to turn the month upside down and shake them all out at once, remember: all comes to he who waits. With Saturn now asking you to continue looking into changes in your emotional life, don’t feel frustrated with retrograde Mars and leap before you look. Instead, re-evaluate your position in early February. Then you'll get a more balanced perspective on the changes this month brings.
Angel of the month: Surrender

Your ruler Venus has you all in a spin this month as you work to command a more detached perspective but feel disorientated, or even overwhelmed, by the implications of a less controlling approach. Fortunately, a retrograde Saturn will continue to help you rebalance in the second part of February so everything that has been thrown up into the air can return to Earth in a self loving order, helping you see that self awareness is what you need, not logic.

Everyone else will supply the words of wisdom this month so don’t worry if you find you can’t get a word in edgeways. On 5th, a less than tactful Mercury will announce that it’s not what you do but the way that you do it. So with this in both heart and mind, make February the month when you focus on your personal vision and the practical steps that need to be taken to implement it.

February is an ideal month to start reaching outside emotional and practical comfort zones and show yourself and your Higher Self just what you're capable of. Although you're not known for your ambition, this doesn’t mean that you won’t go far and wide with your innovative ideas and visionary air. All you're required to do is ask yourself what’s stopping you and then transform inner obstacles into external supports.

In February, your attitude to change could look like a bull in a china shop if you try to force Mars’ relaxed retrograde into premature action. So instead of turning your world upside down just for the sake of feeling in control, be open to adopting an alternative perspective. As a result, Venus in Aquarius will then be able to help you change graciously rather than regret what you’ve done by 20th.

Being detached and honest within your heart could be difficult in February when the devil-you-know tempts you with one more bite of a limited but familiar cherry that's already well past its sell-by date. So instead of courting regret on 8th, why not take the time to acknowledge your internal balance point so that you can work out what you're reluctant to let go of, and why.
Angel of the month: Self Honesty

Saturn appears to step back during February, but don’t take this as a cue to ignore your Master Teacher’s guidance by reattaching to unsupportive habits and relationships. What's really happening is you're being given the opportunity to test your newfound balance point. So dare to care about what you’ve achieved rather than get drawn into a cycle of ego entertainment that proves draining and without purpose.
