MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
February brims with good health, while the Sun visits your Virgo-ruled sixth house until the 18th. Bring on the radiance! You’re inspired to whip your whole life into shape—like a one-woman team of Oprah-approved trainers, chefs, life coaches and so on. Go, Superwoman, go! You’ll feel glowy, fit and on top of your game in short order.

When the Sun moves into Pisces on the 18th, others will notice your special je ne sais quoi. Pisces rules your relationship sector—and there’s nothing like a life built on integrity to make you feel aligned and attractive. You feel at your best when serving other people, but it’s impossible to do so unless you take great care of yourself. With expansive Jupiter in Pisces this year, you’re also learning how to be served in return. It’s about time.

On February 28th, the Virgo full moon marks one of 2010’s first peak moments. Everything you’ve been working on since your birthday really comes together. Take stock of your personal goals and direction. Is everything moving according to plan? The moon’s opposition to abundant Jupiter suggests you may have bitten off more than you can chew. Pick your top three priorities to focus on, and table the others for now.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
The second half of February showers your love life with blessings from Cupid and a chorus of love angels. On the 12th, romantic Venus enters Pisces, your seventh house of committed relationships. For the big V-Day on the 14th, Venus joins with the emotional moon and lucky Jupiter. Falling madly in love, getting a ring, renewing your vows—it’s not just the stuff of Hollywood scripts this year.

Single Virgos benefit from a proactive approach. Your ruler Mercury is in Capricorn, your romance sector, until February 9th. It’s a lucky time for online dating, meeting new prospects through friends, and exchanging flirty texts or emails. Remember, luck is where preparation meets opportunity. You could lock down fun plans for Valentine’s Day with a little advance effort.

On February 28th, the Virgo full moon opposes expansive Jupiter in your relationship sector. You or someone else may be acting like a spoiled, demanding diva. Is it time for a little distance, even a few days to yourself? Perhaps you both need to learn a bit more self-reliance, or to stop saying “yes” when you mean “no.” If you’re keeping a tit-for-tat scorecard, cut it out. Emotional stinginess causes love to shrink. It’s a fruitless attempt at self-protection that always backfires. Be generous without expectation, but don’t give more than you can.

MONEY & CAREER:
What your work lacks in sexiness, it makes up for by keeping you busy. You love to feel productive, and February brings lots of organizing, planning, and cleaning—a few of your favorite things. While the Sun is in Aquarius until February 18th, do all that paperwork you’ve been putting off, or any other tasks that require your focused attention.

Your finances may be a bit stretched now, or at least, in need of some new structures. Disciplined Saturn is retrograde in your money and work sector until April 7th. This can be a time of “paying your dues,” when you really put in the grunt work that establishes a strong foundation for success. It’s certainly not the time to quit your job in a fit of temper, though if you’re up for a salary review, you should certainly have one. Entrepreneurial or risky ventures should be approached with caution now. The grand prize now is long-term security, built through careful planning, saving and learning to live more with less.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
The Sun is in your sixth house of fitness and well-being until February 18th, so you’re on track to get into excellent shape. If you haven’t started a health kick, the Aquarius new moon on February 13th is your day. This moon aligns with mystical Neptune, inspiring you toward holistic modalities: herbs, acupuncture, yoga with chanting, a meditation retreat. With your ruler Mercury also in Aquarius from February 10th onward, you’ll benefit from keeping a food journal or even tracking your health goals online through a blog or web community.

Do make sure you get enough rest though, Virgo. Energetic Mars is retrograde (backward) in your healing twelfth house until March 10th. There will be times that your body simply demands rest, and there’s no sense in fighting it. You’ll be processing a lot of emotional and mental issues during this cycle, too—perhaps even grieving a loss or letting go of the past, which isn’t easy. However, the inner peace you’ll feel after you release pain will be amazing. Don’t hold on to what no longer serves you. Give it to the universe to be healed and transmuted into light.
