MONTHLY HOROSCOPE COLUMN

ebruary opens with four planets in innovative Aquarius. Lots
of unique energy available for manifesting your desires. The
New Moon in Aquarius on Feb. 15, electrifies as a powerful Solar
Eclipse. Time to initiate much needed change, especially in areas
of friendship and group associations. The Sun enters dreamy Pisces
on Feb. 18, an auspicious time to write your wish list. Jupiter
in pioneering Aries (for the first time since 1987), calls for
risk-taking and an adventurous spirit. Dashing Mars is in Scorpio,
the sign most often associated with amorous maneuvers, so expect
this Valentine's Day to sizzle. Since one of my specialties is
relationship compatibility and Valentine's Day is Feb. 14, the
Relationship Queen will share her secrets on what each sign looks
for in a relationship. If you know your rising sign, please read
that too.
