February Horoscopes

by Henry Seltzer

Sagittarius Horoscope (November 22 - December 21)
Mutable Fire. Your ruling planet is Jupiter.

Communication is the name of your game right now, Sagittarius, and all forms of connection with others leads you inevitably back into yourself. It has been in many ways a trying time lately for your work in the world, and yet the rewards are there for you also, to the extent that you just relax and dig into what's on your plate. Lately, more than ever you are seeing the fruit of another variety of enterprise. By innovating on the home front, and in your private spaces, you are re-making every other aspect of your life. It starts within your own deep center and spreads further and faster than you would ever have thought possible.

The beginning of the month finds you in a party mood. There is a joyous ease during this monthly period that was initiated with the Solar Eclipse from the last week of January, and a feeling of connection to your goals. Partnership with others in your life is also powerful for you right now, and communicative outreach your specialty. As you connect with others in your circle, you will find that you are projecting a positive outlook that goes a long way toward ameliorating the attitude of grim limitation and enforced hard work that has been another hallmark of this period for you. You are on a glorious treadmill of your own manufacture, but it is still a treadmill. If the round and round motion takes you no farther than the societal and financial honors that conventional wisdom would dictate, there may not be any real progress. It is when you combine social prestige with soul-level understanding and allow your work in the world to further the aims of the society as well as your own that real progress is made, and true knowledge gained. The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Monday, February 9th, may bring out all this and more. This is a time when you are seeking a delicate balance between work that satisfies worldly requirements and as the poet says, work that is play for mortal stakes. You are earnestly pursuing the activity required by the first of these goals and the raising of consciousness implied by the second. Lightening-like bursts of concepts come suddenly at this time, and light your way along this information supra highway. As you share ideas with others around you, you also could encounter the shadow of communication represented by old patterns intruding or by fears you could encounter that your position will be misrepresented. If so, these drawbacks are blessings in disguise, and lead you through the darkness of hidden intention to acceptance and healing. The remainder of the month will be a time of gathering the fruits of these first ten days when you are figuratively split apart and put back together again. Wisdom arrives with the perspective that these weeks of reflection bring, especially at the time of the Last Quarter Moon of the 16th, when some aspect that you were unaware of may force itself into your consciousness. Also the Pisces New Moon of the week following, taking place on Tuesday, February 24th, is an important time of emotional breakthrough. If the stream is turbulent and muddy, don't turn away your gaze but rather wait as it slowly clears.
