Since last month, all kinds of good things have been happening to you in your career, and your outstanding professional luck will keep on rolling forward this month too. The planets are in a beautiful pattern, what is called a kite, which is a grand trine with a little domed "house" on top, showering you with all kind of happiness and harmony this month. Last month's new moon (January 20) opened the door to exciting career opportunities in the week that followed, and this month's new moon (February 18) will continue that trend. This is the most important time for your career in 2015, so keep pressing forward. If you were thinking of giving a launch party this month or next, go right ahead - all your goals will be accomplished. Your party would be well attended too.

I say this for good reason. This month's new moon on February 18 will be in Aquarius, 29 degrees, 59 minutes, making it just one minute shy of Pisces. This is a rare, cusp-y new moon, so it will not only energize your career sector but your social area of friends, acquaintances, contacts, and new faces, too, at the very same time. For you, in February, career and socializing will go hand in hand. Saturn will be perfect angle to Mercury in your career house, so you may find that you will be making a good commission or bonus on work done recently, or on the work you are discussing now for the future. The side benefits of working on the position or assignment being discussed should be considerable, over and above the fee you will be given, so consider those too.

Mercury will be retrograde in your solar tenth house of honors, awards, and achievement until February 11 (a trend that started January 21), so someone from your past may step forward and offer you the exciting opportunity to work on a certain project with him or her, or this person may possibly offer you a full time position. If the person comes from your past, proceed, for Mercury retrograde won't harm your chances for success, but actually advance it. (I have always advised against starting any new ventures with Mercury out of phase, but sometimes Mercury can be helpful under these circumstances, when working with someone you already have a relationship with from the past.)

After Mercury goes direct on February 11, you will see that the tempo of your life will pick up, and you will find it easier to make solid decisions and plans. Management will be easier to reach, and you will get more solid answers. Also, with Mercury retrograde in the digital sign of Aquarius, you won't need to be concerned about running off to the repair shop at a moment's notice anymore. If a digital item proved to have parts that were wearing down, or software that was not working properly, you found out about it over the past three weeks. Now, life will normalize and you will be able to zip through your to-do list faster and easier.

Adding energy to the social possibilities is Mars, to stay in Pisces and your eleventh house, until February 19. This will certainly stir up lots of fun with others, and you are likely to be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with many other happy people most of the month. You have plenty of gain from being out and about, and considering you will have plenty of time to rest, recharge, and regroup later, after February 19, you have nothing to lose by keeping up the socializing. Venture out, extend yourself to others, and collect as many business cards as you can.

Before you can think about your career, you may have a sensational breakthrough regarding your living situation. The full moon in February 3, in Leo, will light your house of home, or if not your physical home, your family member (most likely related one of your parents, or someone that you think of as a parent). I love this full moon because with its direct beam from Uranus, you are likely to hear news that comes completely out of the blue that will make you gloriously happy and you will glow with excitement. If you have been looking for the ideal apartment or a buyer for your property, or hope to make a winning bid on a condo or house, this full moon of February 3 (plus or minus four days from the date it will appear) will allow the pieces of your puzzle to drop into place, much to your delight.

Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will conjoin the full moon of February 3 too, adding luxury and striking good fortune to all that goes on with home-related matters in the first week of February. If you find a new place to live, it is likely to be very large, possibly with a view, and very sunny. If you need a new roommate, you will likely decide on one person you interview this week, and you are likely to get along well later. (Of course, do your homework by doing background checks on the person and sign a simple contract together before she moves in.) This full moon will be one of the best of the year. Concerning real estate matters, any future bids or news that you get won't be better than the news you are getting now in terms of your home living situation. In February's first week, you will be looking at the very best situation that can be, so you may want to make a decision this month.

As said, when Mars tours your eleventh house of friendship, from the start of the month until February 20, you will enjoy the social opportunities that will continue to pop up. The events won't all be career oriented, and you'll enjoy rubbing shoulders with many friendly, happy people - at times, you may be with hundreds of people, say, such that happens at an award show or trade show. Indeed, friends will play a very prominent role in your life, and if you have neglected your pals recently, you can now give them quality time and enjoy relaxing together.

When Venus and Mars link in your twelfth house in the last third of the month over the weekend of February 21-22, you may have a blind date that a friend offers to set up for you. Even so, if you seem to find great chemistry (very likely, as your ruler, Venus will be involved), I want you to be careful. The energy over this weekend will sparkle, but I want you to go slowly.

The twelfth house is a house with hidden qualities, and sometimes when you meet someone when important planets are moving through the twelfth house, as you will have over this weekend, February 21-22, the person may not be available (married?) and later cause you heartbreak. Get to know the person's circle of friends and possibly family too before you get involved. You may meet someone wonderful, and I have to allow for that possibility, but even so, if the feelings are true and strong, and both parties are being honest with each other, those feelings will hold up over the coming weeks without the need to rush. In fact, after Venus moves into Taurus mid-March, and Mars into Taurus in April, you will be on much more solid ground, and that's when love may glitter and glow.

I need to flag February 23, when Saturn and the Sun will be at odds, and Saturn and Neptune will be within a few degrees of a harsh square (obstacle). On this day, don't try to negotiate a financial deal. Instead, take time out and review your assumptions, and make sure you are being very realistic. Saturn represents reality, and Neptune rules dreams and wishes. On February 23 and the days approaching it, reality and wishful thinking may collide. The more objective you can be, the better.

By time you get to February 25 and 26, you will be back in lovely aspects, almost certain to help you turn a corner. On February 25, Saturn and Mars will be in ideal sync, favorable for actions that you want to have long-term longevity. On the same day, the Sun and Neptune will conjoin, making it an ideal day for creative idea-generation. Normally, with Saturn and Mars in ideal collaboration, it would be a great day - February 25 - for signing a contract, but Neptune conjunct the Sun means you cannot sign. Neptune can obscure information, so you will need to wait until a better day, March 3-5.

Romantically, you have a sensational full moon coming up March 5. Generally, next month might be better for meeting new people, although I will admit that during the first three weeks of February, you will certainly be meeting many new people and socializing up a storm. You may meet someone you'll want to know better. You can take your time, knowing you are in a great spot, with love, money, and professional acclaim coming your way. For now, focus on your career, dear Taurus, as you can make great strides. It's due to be a delicious month and you'll soon see this to be true!

Good fortune Jupiter is moving through in your fourth house, sending luck to your residence or other property you might own or rent. The full moon on February 3 will bring to culmination an important action or decision you are about to make involving property, and once you do, you will feel sensationally happy. Jupiter will be conjunct the full moon, and with surprise-a-minute Uranus friendly too, these two planets will shower you with radiant luck regarding your living situation. Your actions appear to be cresting now and nothing that will come later is likely to outshine the news you get in the first week of February. (Allow a plus or minus four days to the date the full moon appears, February 3.)

You may move house at the start of the month to a very large, sunny space, and this month you have a chance to truly make your home your castle. (Jupiter in the royal sign of Leo would have it no other way.) If you need to sell property, you may be amazed that the buyer will either meet your asking price or bid above it to eliminate competitors. Or, you may buy a condo / house at a bargain price, and when you considering its value, even though you may spend more than you had estimated, the deal will be an obviously good one. Or, if you plan to stay in your present home, you may find the perfect furniture or accouterments to make it more stylish - on sale. If you are renovating your home, the full moon may bring the project to a finish, and you will likely love the results. Home will be the happiest place for you to be.

Your public life will also be on display, thanks to aspects that have put a spotlight on your fine work. With your prestigious tenth house of career honors, awards, and achievement lit, your status in your industry is mounting nicely. This new moon will be in ideal angle to Neptune, so if your job is creative, or if you work to support talent, you will have an opportunity to advance your reputation and possibly gain a new title too. Even if you do not work in the creative field, with Uranus supportive, an offer should come out of the blue, and you will want to investigate it. The compensation appears to be generous and provide the kind of security you've been seeking. You may have started talks in December or early January, and if so, now the talks will reach a more serious phase. If you didn't have talks previously, you will still be in an enviable position to make strides.

Mercury will be retrograde in the sign that rules your career, Aquarius, until February 11, a trend that started last month on January 21. You may find talks stalled by temporary indecision on the part of management or out-of-town executives who are traveling to see clients. Do not try to push the talks forward during those first days - things will speed up after Mercury goes direct on February 11. In the meantime, delays will benefit you. If a person you used to work closely with in the past wants to tap your talents, Mercury retrograde will not cause you frustration - you can proceed with confidence, as Mercury retrograde encourages you to go back to the past to make more of a former relationship.

Socially, the early part of the month, from February 1 to 19 will be busiest, while Mars energizing your people / events / friendship sector. Your friends will be available and eager to see you. When it comes to love and fun, one of your friends seems willing to set up a date for you over the weekend of February 21-22, when your ruler, Venus, will embrace her lover Mars in the evening sky, a highly romantic vibration. If you let your friend make the introduction, you are likely to find the chemistry exciting. In fact you may become so smitten that you may become a bit carried away. Go slowly and get to know your date well before you fall head over heels, as you will need to know your intended partner has been completely truthful with you.

February 25 will possibly bring an enchanting social event, perhaps for a charity or other fundraiser. Neptune will conjoin the Sun, so this evening will be quite bewitching. February 26 brings a string of happy aspects too. In all, you've got a wonderful month ahead, dear Taurus!

Mars in Pisces, touring your eleventh house of friendship until February 19, will cause you to mix and mingle much more than usual. You can reconnect with friends and take a deep breath - this will help you balance all you are doing in your career.

Mars and Venus in your twelfth house in the last third of February, and especially on February 22, when conjunct, could bring a blind date. However, get to know the person you meet before you jump into an intense relationship. The chemistry may be special, but there's more to a relationship than good initial chemistry.

February 25 brings Mars and Saturn to perfect sync. You can think clearly on this day, but don't sign papers, because the Sun and Neptune will be conjunct. Neptune will make this day an ideal day to come up with highly creative ideas. February 26, the following day, has lots of sweet vibrations, a fun day of the week.
