Chasing the Spotlight

Your formidable people skills can do wonders for you this month with the Sun lighting up your 5th House of Self-Expression until February 18. Given an audience to propose your ideas or make a pitch for a job, you are capable of hitting a home run now. Your creativity should also be up a notch or two, especially when you look beyond the standard ways of doing business to come up with original ideas. If you present them as possibilities rather than certainties, you'll come across as reasonable and humble, but perhaps very smart.

On February 11 your sensitive ruling planet Venus enters emotional Pisces and your 6th House of Work. The upside is finding inspiration in your professional life, connecting with caring individuals and demonstrating your skills as an imaginative individual. The negatives include chasing a fantasy and not being rewarded for your efforts, as well as being overly generous with colleagues who don't reciprocate your kindness.

Still, while others may be easily fooled, you bring a depth of perception that helps you reveal flaws and find hidden assets around February 14. You're a powerful team player on February 15 and 16 as muscular Mars in your 11th House of Groups aligns favorably with reliable Saturn in your sign. This can get the week off to a highly productive start as long as you have reliable allies on your side.

The Sun enters Pisces and your 6th house on February 18, beginning a month where you may have to work hard without getting a commensurate amount of recognition.
