Outside the Box

There are opportunities to increase your income or up your professional value this month. The life-giving Sun in your 2nd House of Resources is working in your favor until February 18. The trick is to think outside the box since the unconventional sign Aquarius is in this part of your chart. Sure, you tend to be rewarded for your consistency and hard work, which is only fair. But the secret to getting ahead now is to consider your career from a fresh angle.

If your imagination is lacking, you'll get another shot of inventiveness starting on February 10 when brainy Mercury enters Aquarius. Yes, it's understandable if the tough economic climate brings out the more conservative side of your personality. However, fear is no asset when it comes to making a living.

Your conscientious and productive ruling planet Saturn gets a boost from Mercury on February 12, providing a nice balance of open-mindedness and practicality up to two days before and after. You'll have the ability to combine an innovative concept with practicality that can turn a wild idea into reality. People tend to trust you more then, making it a good time to discuss important matters. A similarly favorable pattern occurs on February 15 when energetic Mars makes a supportive aspect to Saturn. Your abilities to organize, manage and operate at a high level of productivity are obvious.

The Sun's shift into sensitive Pisces and your 3rd House of Communication on February 18 is a signal to express yourself more carefully.
