February Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Libra Horoscope (September 23 - October 22)
Cardinal Air. Your ruling planet is Venus.

You are in a powerful place of transition, Libra, with important and surprising information coming your way that stems from others around you, and winds up creating new spaces within your own mind. Epiphanies abound. Your mental guns are firing steadily, but being clever is only half the battle right now, since much of what you need to know must come from your heart and not your head. Having faith in your process works many wonders and will get you through the darkest times relatively unscathed. You are seeking a new mandate for promoting positive change in your life, in spite of the practical limitations that slow you down but never entirely stop you.

The month begins with the powerful New Moon energy from February 2nd in your sector of creative expression. You are in a state of extreme optimism, reinventing yourself in some way, perhaps to be a better fit for your high ideals. Infinite possibilities appear to be available to you now, and you might try all of them in succession, at least mentally, before you are finished with this early part of this monthly cycle. Relationship events in your life take one sharp turn after another so that you might be left hanging on for dear life at the curves. It helps to remember that it is all going according to prior arrangement, a plan that you made for yourself in another galaxy long ago and far away. The week of the First Quarter Moon of Thursday, February 10th, also might come as something of a shock, an extended period of time when your core concerns are exposed to tensions of all kinds, brought about within the context of close interpersonal relationships, or else by family scenarios. This is a creative tension and might find its outlet in music, dance, or other art forms. In any case there is plenty of reason to remain optimistic, even if certain issues become more noticeable, since this leads to better awareness and because information is strength. You are beginning to see the outlines of where you are caught and perhaps even why. The Full Moon takes place late on Thursday night, February 17th, and in the early morning hours of the 18th. At this time, old patterns of dysfunctional behavior could be coming up for review and potentially for revision. Sometimes issues that are painful to contemplate become lodged in a place deep within your psyche that is seldom recognized or visited by your more normal waking self. The veils between these disparate parts are thin right now, so that these forgotten contents could erupt into consciousness. There could also be a tendency for you to exaggerate their importance when they do, or else to minimize them, since you are more than ever subject to potential illusions now concerning healthy habits. It could be that a strong sense of idealism or perhaps illusion could surface with respect to physical and dietary habits and needs. This is also a time when you are more in touch with deep inner feelings and intuitions, so it might be a good moment to journal or to write creatively about your experiences. By the end of the month, after the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, February 24th has passed, you will have come to some startling conclusions concerning what kind of space you currently occupy in the arc of your personal evolution, and where you might be heading.
