February 2012 V I R G O This year is all about non-stop action for you, Virgo. With Mars spending

$%&$ sign, you may start to wonder if there will be any break in sight before 2013.

# +

a transit that could push you into a semi-neurotic workaholic mode.

With Neptune moving back into your partnership sector in February, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll settle for nothing less than your true soul mate. When Mars turns direct in Virgo in May, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll possess tremendous energy to make amazing things happen!

C A N C E R New beginnings have indeed arrived in your favor with the onset of 2012, Cancer. Although the biggest changes in the love realm wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrive until autumn, romance will return as a central theme for you in 2012 - just when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d started to give up hope of anything new ever returning to your life! Although Pluto has been working on deeply transforming your partnership sector since 2008 (forcing you to shed the outmoded), you were indeed beginning to wonder if "

the void. And alas, it shall!

L I B R A Although many have secretly been dreading the arrival of 2012, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve personally been looking forward to it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because karmic taskmaster Saturn has been doing a number on your life over the past twoplus years. Relationship lessons have been relentless throughout this time. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made important decisions about where to commit - and where to quit *

S A G I T T A R I U S The winds of change are not about to let up just yet! With the arrival of 2012 comes yet an

to shake up your status quo.

In June, the full Moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius is the last

wave of a sea of oceanic changes youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve weathered over the past few years. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably experienced dramatic endings or beginnings (or both) of important relationships and extensive personal transformations recently.

yourself at the start of the year, you can expect to experience the total other end of the emotional and relationship spectrum before 2012 is over.

T A U R U S With lucky Jupiter continuing to bless your stars, " #

in 2012, Taurus. Take advantage of your cosmic

months of the year are part of an ongoing personal renovation project before generous Jupiter leaves your stars. Not that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be losing much once the planet of fortune and fame moves into your neighboring sign and starts to bless your money sector. On the contrary - as soon as Jupiter moves into Gemini in June, your luck continues to build while grounding you in positive energy.

The second half of the year will bring you great

your talents.

A Q U A R I U S This is the year to come out of recent hiding, Aquarius. Saturn, your traditional ruler, will be making its way to your sector of fame and recognition this year, so get ready! Your standing in the world takes on great importance, especially during the latter half of the year. The total solar eclipse in November in your career sector is another huge catalyst to boost your professional status. Being born under the sign of fame, this spotlight is in keeping with your destiny, darling.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to come out of humble reclusion, and let you shine!

S C O R P I O 2012 is your year of reckoning! You worked yourself to the bone in 2011, and now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit a major impasse. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got until October to continue experimenting with what you want out of life; after that, big decisions must be made. Saturn is about to take up residence in your constellation

planet rules karma, time and integrity, so each of these will be key themes throughout the year.

Your values will be tested during the last quarter of the year, so get all your ducks in a row by then to avoid the stress of Saturnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inquisition. The good news is that a weight is about to be lifted from your consciousness, and all the background melancholy you may have felt over the past few years should lighten up.

Page 7 P I S C E S This year puts you back in your wonderful watery element, Pisces. First off, Neptune, your ruling planet, will be moving back into your constellation in February for its full cyclic residency. You got a taste of this mystical infusion in 2011; now you can fully immerse yourself in the oceanic bliss of inspiration, oneness and compassion for the duration of 2012.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come home to your true self.

Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an artist, healer or closet mystic, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have no choice but to move toward er longings of your soul. No longer can you deny how truly empathic and sensitive you are. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to channel those special qualities into proper use!

G E M I N I Another year of sweeping changes are in store, Gemini. If you thought last year was a whirlwind, hold the line. With an encore round of eclipse patterns hitting your constellation this summer, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gearing up for the next level of transformation! Your personal image and intimate relationships will continue to change over the course of the next 12 months, so be ready for anything. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re single, this " nally get hitched.
