Life's Sweet Surprises

The planets are conspiring to enliven your personal life this month. While you may be feeling the chill of isolation when February starts, relationships begin a warming trend on February 11. That's when romantic Venus leaves icy Aquarius and sinks into the inviting waters of imaginative and sensitive Pisces. This wonderful event occurs in your 5th House of Romance and Play, initiating several weeks when life can surprise you with delight at any moment. Being kinder and gentler is a key to cashing in on the allure that you have with Venus in Pisces. Stop calculating, measuring and conspiring to get what you want -- the magic comes when you simply open your heart and express yourself with innocence. Plans are distractions from the delights that await when you trust spontaneity to bring you what you desire.

This wondrous wave of attractiveness gets a second boost on February 18 when the Sun enters Pisces and your engaging 5th house. These transits are signals to let go of the past. Whatever wounds or disappointments you may have experienced with your current partner or in previous relationships, you're ready for a fresh start. If negative thinking starts to creep in to cause doubts about yourself of others, gently shift your thoughts elsewhere and you'll find attractive diversions to lift you above these dark clouds. February 28 should be quite interesting as the Full Moon in analytical Virgo opposes these planets in Pisces, making this a good time to recognize which dreams are worth pursuing and which ones have run their course.
