February 2012

				ARIES With Venus, planet of beauty returning to your sign on the 8th February although there’ll be a desire to take a walk down fashion’s memory lane earlier in the month, when it comes to updating your wardrobe or your look for the New Year, wait until then. It’s when Venus returns to your sign that you'll have a much clearer sense of what you do and don’t like and you'll feel a lot more confident as well. Until then do some window shopping. While you begin the month with Venus in a nostalgic part of your chart, her return to your sign on the 8th February is likely to have a dramatic impact on both your mood and your fashion focus. All of a sudden a burst of confidence will bring a call to take your power back and embrace your future, with a Full Moon in a colourful and creative part of your chart on the same day bringing a desire for more colour and playfulness in your life and your look.

				TAURUS As Venus, planet of beauty and your ruling planet spends the early days of the month in a social and serendipitous part of your chart there’ll be plenty going on and lots of reasons why you need to have something ready, for any last minute invitations. This is not the time to wait for the situation to arise and then plan what to wear, with a need to be ready for the unexpected. While the month will retain a social and serendipitous feel that has been in play for several weeks once Venus leaves, having an impact on your fashion choices and tastes, from the 8th February you're likely to find that a sense of nostalgia really kicks in. It’s Venus return to a nostalgic part of your chart that will all of a sudden make the past more exciting, especially with Mars already evoking old romantic and creative passions. Expect this to influence your fashion tastes and choices.

				GEMINI Some forward planning will go a long way early in the month, especially as Venus’ final days in your career sector are likely to bring many reasons why you'll need to put your best foot forward. While you have until early May to nail things on the career front and put things on the right track, the early days of the month are the last where you have Venus, planet of beauty helping you to look the part. As powerful new professional doors open Venus, planet of beauty’s last few days in your career sector are all about creating the right professional look, even if it’s just developing a sense of style, that you can shop for or work towards later. Even after Venus leaves your career sector on the 8th February you'll retain an innate sense of knowing how to pull off the right look. Meanwhile Venus’ return to a more social part of your chart will see your fashion focus shift more to what you’re wearing after office hours.

				CANCER In her final days in an adventurous part of your chart Venus, planet of beauty is urging you to move out of a fashion rut and take some risks. If you always wear the same colours, styles or makes dare to branch out. Even though you're likely to be a little more money conscious this week, this is the perfect time to take advantage of the sales and veer off fashion’s main street. At the same time that a desire to move out of a fashion rut and to take more risks will continue, you're likely to lose a more casual approach that has developed over the holiday period and held onto, not feeling the need or the desire to get fully back into work mode. That changes with Venus’ return to your career sector on 8th February and a Full Moon on the same day that is likely to bring a boost in confidence. As new professional doors open you're ready to look the part or it could be that new professional opportunities demand that you do..

				LEO There is a real desire for change in the air as you move into the new month and as Venus, planet of beauty spends her final days in your sector of passion, change and transformation she’s making it a lot harder to remain on the fence. A desire for change is fast growing into a desire for a makeover, giving you a new look for the New Year. Since Venus returned to this more passionate part of your chart last month there has been a desire for change, something that you need to hold onto even though Venus will leave on the 8th February. It’s then that you're even more likely to take a leap of faith, with Venus returning to a more adventurous part of your chart on the same day that a Full Moon in your sign brings a call to action.

				VIRGO Having Venus, planet of beauty over on the opposite side of the sky means that there is no hiding behind your excuses, whether it’s time, money or pleas of ignorance. Venus knows what you really want and what makes you look and feel good and she’s challenging you to raise the bar, not to anyone else’s standards but to your own. With a lot of focus on your work situation last month and continuing through till the 21st February, you probably have your work wardrobe sussed and even if you haven’t pulled it off yet, you know how to do it and if you’ve worked with the cosmic conditions so far this year, you'll have a good balance between work and play clothes. What kicks in from the 8th February is a desire for change and for more passion in both your life, in what you wear and how you express yourself.

				LIBRA With life only set to become busier this month and the need to pull back and pace yourself becoming stronger at the same time, it’s important to streamline your life and avoid creating complications where there are none. At such an important time on the work front making the right impression is important, with some forward planning saving you time each day in the long run. Neptune’s return to your work sector on the 4th February, Venus’ position here until the 8th February, Mercury’s arrival on the 14th February and the Sun’s on the 19th February, will all contribute to getting things up to speed on the work front, with a powerful new chapter opening up. Until Venus, planet of beauty leaves your work sector on the 8th February, she’s working with you to look the part, giving you a real sense of style and the tools to dress to impress.

				SCORPIO Until the 8th February Venus, planet of beauty is bringing a desire to bring more fun, colour and creativity back into your life and she’s encouraging you to do this through the senses. At the same time that you're able to decorate your world and fill your home with colours and smells that evoke a sense of spontaneity, you're able to do the same with your fashion and accessory choices. Your fashion tastes and inclinations need to bend to your current circumstances, with the key to keeping fashion fun to remain flexible and find the right balance. You'll enjoy dressing up to go out and have fun or to dress to impress on the work front, if you balance this with times that you're able to go causal. From the 8th February you may be either shopping for sports or fitness clothes or digging them out from the back of the wardrobe.

				SAGITTARIUS In a month where any work/life balance issues building are likely to come to a head, refuse to turn fashion or what to wear into yet another chore or complication. Either get organised ahead of time or refuse to put higher expectations on yourself than are warranted. If you don’t need to look like a super model then don’t knock yourself out trying to be one. This is a time for being yourself. With much of your focus being taken up with professional or home matters, which are likely to conflict at times and with that theme continuing for some time, you may be starting to feel like all the fun is going out of your fashion choices and that it’s become more about functionality. That all changes on the 8th February with Venus, planet of beauty’s return to a more fun, playful, colourful, creative and romantic part of your chart, which is bound to influence your fashion tastes.

				CAPRICORN Take a more intelligent approach to your fashion choices this month, both when it comes to choosing what to wear each day and when shopping for something new. Mix and match is the way to go, with a clever use of fashion choices and accessorising getting much more bang for your buck. Find ways to jazz up what's already in your wardrobe. With the colourful, vibrant and dynamic Year of the Dragon underway there is a lot less likelihood that you'll fall into a fashion rut, though you may find that the desire to go casual and down play things kicks in fairly early in the month. It’s Venus, planet of beauty’s return to a more domesticated part of your chart on the 8th February, coupled with Saturn’s retrograde turn on the same day that will suddenly have you a lot less motivated to dress to impress, preferring to do your own thing, making it more about maintaining the right work/life balance.

				AQUARIUS Venus, planet of beauty is drumming home just one message this month and that message is confidence. Venus knows the easiest way to feel confident is to fake it till you make it, dressing with confidence even if you don’t feel it. Sooner or later life will imitate art, with a need to appreciate the importance of dressing to feel confident, seeing any expense to pull it off as an investment. While the Sun won’t leave your sign until the 19th February, with Neptune leaving on the 4th February and Venus, planet of beauty already gone, you already have a clear sense of your fashion tastes and styles for this New Year and a clear sense of what inspires your imagination. When it comes to establishing a new look for this new solar and calendar year you will already have it in the bag or you'll know what you want as soon as you see it.

				PISCES In her final days in your sign Venus, planet of beauty is not only bringing out your inner beauty, bringing a radiance that shines from within, she’s giving you a killer sense of style. Make your own fashion choices, whether you're choosing what to wear each day or shopping for a new look, for you're the one whose judgement is going to be spot on. You know what looks and feels right for you, so stand by that. As you move into the new month Venus is in her final days in your sign and after Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies returns on the 4th February your imagination and heart will both become engaged. With Venus working to develop your expectations before she leaves on the 8th February and then shifting her focus onto boosting your confidence, this is a month for defining your fashion tastes and style for the coming year, before your birthday month begins.
