February starts on a very sociable note, and it is a great time to get out and about amongst good friends, or go even further afield to meet new exotic people from quite a different environment that you are used to. Film and music can expand your mind now and you can live out your dreams. On the romantic front, there may be electric attraction, but it is not very easy to make concrete progress.

When your sign ruler Venus moves into Pisces on the 11th completely new perspectives open up in your daily life, and at work opportunities abound for expressing your dreams and ideals. Perhaps you join forces with a colleague or an organization which has an idealistic agenda for helping people or the environment. At home this is an excellent period for living out your ideals in connection with exercise and diet, though it is the spiritual approach that works best. Being kind to yourself and to others is what it is all about.

In this intense and powerful transformation phase, where your personal and family lifestyle is undergoing change, it is important to have a smooth daily routine, and to ensure that there is as little pressure as possible. If you have a Jacuzzi, spend lots of time in it! Perhaps one of the areas that needs transformation is precisely your tendency to push yourself too hard.

The pressure is still on. Friends and partners are quite demanding and need more of your time. Perhaps they have plans for you or ambitions on your behalf, or perhaps you have to put time aside to help them. It is good to invest effort and energy in your social life right now, and perhaps take on some extra responsibilities.

There are remarkable developments in relationships in early March and if you are single you are ready to take a brave initiative to make contact. The prospects are extremely good for love, and perhaps someone in your social circle has been lingering in the hope that you will take the plunge. You are a bit nervous about being rejected though, and this can lead to a nervousness that reduces your sensitivity to partners. In other words you can overcompensate by being exaggeratedly independent or tough. The way to go is just to have fun, dance and celebrate romance.

There is also a lot of focus on your job this month, which starts with a lot of impatience and restlessness on your side, perhaps because you have bent over backwards to make colleagues happy. You make a move for independence and would prefer it if you had more freedom. Changes in your working environment take place mid-March – some of them rather unpredictable, especially as far as communication is concerned.

This will prove to be an extraordinary springtime for you in just that area you are most attuned to . relationships. At the beginning of February, Venus leaves Pisces, entering Aries and a kind of time loop that will not be over before the end of May. In these months Venus goes retrograde and direct again squaring Pluto three times, and thereby knitting together the two domains of relationships and family. Acute issues need to be resolved at this time, and as Venus is in .exile. in Aries, you will find yourself in a compromised situation in relationships, and a situation that requires decisive action too. The home is subject to some upheaval that may be connected to a renovation, or because of new relationship developments. You will not be afraid of taking drastic action for the sake of partnership, though whether this is wise is another matter. Amazingly the retrograde movement of Venus allows the much slower moving Mars to catch her up, and this happens at 29 degrees Pisces just after Mars has passed over Uranus. A fizzy brew! Therefore the single Libra will be swept off his or her feet at this time by a person who has just been through some revolutionary change. Everything will be turned on its head as both planets square Pluto around the end of April. Venus spends the rest of May and June .catching up. with Mars, and they conjoin once more at 14 degrees Taurus on June 21st. This time you are in control, but as they both move together to square the momentous Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron conjunction, you are likely to be struggling with a raging torrent of feelings prompted by strong desires. Whew!

The sign of Libra is sure to have an amazing year, and with Saturn in this sign until October 2012, there is a long period for you to build new life structures which will affect the important relationships in your life. You will already be feeling the influence of the Saturn/Pluto square on your family life, and this involves digging deep into sensitive areas that need transformation. It is important to grasp the nettle and eradicate bad family habits, or work on some sort of home rebuilding project, or to set limits in relation to authoritarian family figures. When Jupiter and Uranus move into your 7th house of relationships in June, an incredibly outgoing period begins. For the unattached Libra this will bring travel to exotic destinations, sudden meetings with exciting fringe groups or involvement with international organizations. For those in relationships it will be necessary to give partners more space, or to do some exciting . or even wild . things together. Partners may be gripped by a kind of craziness which goes against all the rules... and your better judgment. With your sign ruler Venus conjoining Mars in your sign in August, this is a time when there are positive relationship developments, but as Venus goes retrograde in Scorpio and Mars then catches up with Venus in October, it will be you who is compromised and partners who make the decisions. You will need to tread carefully . not least financially . in the last four months of the year.
