UNDERWATER
AMSTERDAM
FEBRUARY 2012
20 March-19 April
You and your Valentine might get off to an irritated start on the 1st, thanks to Venus (Goddess of Love) opposing your ruling planet, Mars. But things quickly improve between the 3rd and the 7th. Either you'll make peace and love with your existing friend/lover – or you'll find someone even more exciting and interesting. There's certainly a strong chance that you're secretly fantasizing about someone, from the 3rd onward, when Neptune sneaks into your 12th house. And then the Full Moon is in lip-smackin' Love Machine Leo on the 7th. So, if your existing arrangement isn't up to par or is nonexistent, things are likely to change this month. On the 7th, Saturn goes retro until late June, extending its stay in your solar partnership sector. This just means that you and a business or personal partner are working out the kinks in a relationship problem. Lusty, fun-loving Venus enters your sign on the 8th, making you an object of desire for at least one or two people. Some will be vocal about this, while others will "accidentally" be in the same place and the same time you are. (Man, that office watercooler room is gonna see more action than it's seen in years.) On the 9th, you're so compulsive, but also confused. This strongly suggests that you not make long-term commitments until you have all the facts. If you've been in the loop every step of the way, then feel free to sign off on something. But if you've been on the sidelines, guessing, wondering, wishing and hoping, wait a couple days. Make sure that this person and/or group is what you need in your life for the foreseeable future. On the 10th, the Sun is quincunx Mars – again suggesting that quick actions or extreme reactions aren't in your favor and may do more harm than good. Time is on your side, impatient Ram. You might think, "Hey, ANY deal is better than no deal." Don't sell yourself short. On the 13th, Mercury trines Saturn, smartening you up and making deals, decisions, and right thinking more likely. Shortly thereafter, Mercury zips into Pisces, giving your intuition (or gut feelings) a huge boost. On the 14th (Valentine's Day), Mercury conjoins Neptune, making you a persuasive sweet talker who can lure the object of your desire into your boudoir without any resistance whatsoever. On the 15, Venus squares Pluto. (Hmm… did your dalliance occur with someone already spoken for or are you, perhaps, spoken for?) There might be some jealousy, barely concealed, even if you've been good, well sort of. [continued on next page...]
