Manish Kumar Arora (K.P. Astrologer, Numerologist, Tarot Card Reader & Vastu Consultant) reveals what’s in store for you this month

Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) You are bolder than usual and motivated to pursue what you want and to prove your value. It’s about positive new beginnings, turning over a new leaf, and expressing yourself without apology. There may be job offers and opportunities, and some of you could be receiving significant gifts or bonuses. If you have been working along the right track, you can see a significant pay-off for previous efforts. Favourable Dates: February 3, 5, 12, 14, 21, 23 Favourable Colours: Yellow & Blue

Pisces (19 February – 20 March)

This period heightens your optimism and generosity, and has the potential for being a relaxed, fortunate and hopeful time in your life. You are greeting life with a fresh, can-do attitude. Events occur that help you to overcome problems that previously seemed challenging or even insurmountable. Furthering your personal ambitions and interests comes more easily during this cycle. A compelling, intense relationship may come and go very quickly.

Favourable Dates: February 3, 6, 12, 15, 21, 24 Favourable Colours: Red & Blue

Aries (21 March – 19 April)

This can be a beneficial period but do take it slowly. It presents more opportunity for insight into the demands of your situation. Matters of business and money may start to flex their muscle and begin to grow and expand. You will do well in matters that require good concentration, especially esoteric and philosophical studies. Sexual encounters are tempting and creativity will be high.

Favourable Dates: February 4, 5, 13, 14, 22, 23 Favourable Colours: Red & Green

Taurus (20 April – 20 May)

This is a month of mixed blessings. A series of events will affect your self-image and your major relationships, sparking off events and touching deep personal issues for you in terms of self and partnership. There is money to be made if you know when to act and how to manage it. There is love to be found or renewed if you know how to open yourself up to it.

Favourable Dates: February 2, 6, 11, 15, 20, 24 Favourable Colours: Yellow & Blue

Gemini (21 May – 20 June)

You will find success through personal effort, along with honours and dignities. You can achieve high ambitions, especially those connected with government, institutions and the law. Ride your own luck and enthusiasm with opportunities that present themselves for growth, expansion and diversity. It’s a good time to get yourself noticed. You may get drawn into matters of direct spiritual experience, allowing you to touch the world of spirit and the invisible.

Favourable Dates: February 3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25 Favourable Colours: White & Blue

Cancer (21 June – 22 July)

Life is keeping a firm grip on where you go and what you do. This month may find you counting the costs of the formidable efforts you have had to make to keep going. Attunement to the pattern will be an integral part of getting the most from this month, for there are clear cycles of growth, decline and re-growth in different areas of your life.

Favourable Dates: February 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22 Favourable Colours: White & Red

Leo (23 July – 22 August)

You would be fostering connections, affirming efforts and bringing a note of the hard-won achievement that you can celebrate. It will be important for you to redefine yourself, to see yourself in different ways, almost as a different person. You can wilt beneath the challenge or flourish, toughened by the experience. It’s up to you. Sexuality is active, experimental and somewhat detached, bringing love affairs and adventures.

Favourable Dates: February 5, 8, 14, 17, 23, 26 Favourable Colours: Blue & Yellow

Virgo (23 August – 22 September)

You are more in touch with friends and dreaming up new goals. This is a period where you can grow and expand on a very personal level through opportunities for advancement through study or promotion. Eat up what’s on the plate. It will lead to more and better things for you. Romance in the work environment and fun with a dashing foreigner, or creative type is indicated. Travel will bring out the beast in you.

Favourable Dates: February 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26 Favourable Colours: Red & Yellow

Libra (23 September – 22 October)

This could be a good time to avoid tying up any money with other people’s business or investments, as such ties may lead to losses, uncertainties and even outright deception. There will be endings, departures and even betrayals. You may find some new liaison. It will certainly be an intense one. For those already in relationships, the pressure around you or from within to maintain the relationship will get increased.

Favourable Dates: February 1, 6, 10, 15, 19, 24 Favourable Colours: Purple & Yellow

Scorpio (23 October – 21 November)

Your energy levels run high and your pioneering instincts are strong. This is a fabulous period for charm and attractiveness. Stress could build up in the last week or just plain old-fashioned exhaustion could set in. Take care of yourself as you try to walk the line between self-nurture and meeting the demands of your life. Give yourself a little breathing space and time for review.

Favourable Dates: February 3, 9, 12, 18, 21, 27 Favourable Colours: Red & White

Sagittarius (22 November -21 December)

The month ahead is strong for networking, friendships, and new approaches in your career.. The first ten days can find you streamlining your routines, heavily involved in research and highly motivated in work and health matters. The second half is more auspicious for clearing up misunderstandings with authority figures. After 22nd there can be surprising happenings with friends or acquaintances and possibly a love relationship.

Favourable Dates: February 2, 7, 12, 16, 20, 27 Favourable Colours: Red & White

Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)

You are especially companionable and open to new experiences, although perhaps starry-eyed at times. There can be a surprising or sudden show of support, emotional or financial. Romantic illusions or self-deceptions should be watched for. Some of you could connect intimately with someone seemingly out of the blue, or there can be an unanticipated financial matter to manage. The last week can involve some social drama in your life.

Favourable Dates: February 2, 6, 11, 15, 20, 24 Favourable Colours: Yellow & Blue
