Free Aries Horoscope for February 2012
The month opens in Aquarius mode, with the sun and Mercury in this sign. Mercury in this position suggests that what you learn this month will be about people and not things, or at least that it would be in your interests to focus your fact gathering on the people you know and need to know.
The last third of the month, in contrast, is strongly Piscean. There’s a bit of a battle between your ruler Mars, which is hanging out in Virgo for as long as it possibly can, and the sun, new moon, Mercury, Venus, and Neptune, all of which spend some time in Pisces. Virgo loves processes, doing things step by step. Mars in Virgo loves to put processes into action. Pisces hates processes, and it doesn’t much care for action either. Pisces likes to use the drifting in the ocean method of getting from place to place, sort of like driftwood can travel from one continent to another without actually doing anything but bobbing on the waves. The peak of this bobbing vibration occurs at the Pisces new moon on the 21st, and you may just as well give yourself over to aimless drifting around that time. You’ll cover just as much ground that way, even if it’s an irritating and patience-trying method of achieving your goals.
When Mercury enters Pisces on the 13th, expect communication to get more theoretical and less concrete. In other words, people will want to talk about ideals rather than reality. In fact, the whole month is pretty darn idealistic in your solar chart, which makes it a good month for saying nice things and repressing the more critical things Mars in Virgo might be thinking. If you can use the combination of Virgo and Pisces to give form the indefinite, you’ll be way ahead of most people. If you can even figure how to give form to the indefinite or what that even means, you’ll be way ahead of most people.
An inner planet moves into your sign this month, also. That would be Venus on the 8th. This is nice for you financially, as it combines with Jupiter in Taurus to make your chart both open to financial improvement and not facing any major obstructions or obstacles to such improvement.
Saturn switches its direction of motion this month, going retrograde on the 7th. What this means is that it is going back to cover old ground again–specifically old ground in your relationships. Whatever the issues in your relationships, it’s deja vu all over again: sort of like Groundhog’s Day, Saturn keeps you giving chances to redo things until you get them right. Expect this vibe to be in effect on Valentine’s Day.
Saturn contrasts with Uranus in your own sign, which is scooting forward and is only interested in things that you’ve never encountered, things that haven’t existed before. It wants you to try new things in your life, and at some point, you will hear its message loud and clear.
The final big news of the month is Neptune switching from Aquarius to Pisces on the 3rd. In Aquarius, Neptune has been interested in information, especially information technology, and all that Facebook kind of social networking stuff. It’s been the sponsor of the idea that no one could possibly have too much information about his or friends and contacts. Neptune in Pisces is interested in connections, too, but it doesn’t necessarily believe that you need technology to make them. If you love your iPhone more than life itself, this switch may not be entirely to your liking. On the other hand, if you’re open to the idea that maybe there are other ways to gain knowledge, you may find Neptune in Pisces to be oddly and subtly refreshing.
