For All Signs Basic astrological understanding comes from the four elements: fire, earth, air, and water. The Air Signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) move constantly, like the wind. Even when the body appears to be still, the mind of an Air Sign is racing from one thing to another. They are generally talkative and tend to be winners in games of Trivial Pursuit. The Airs are gregarious and work to develop their social skills early in life. It is, however, difficult for them to make commitments because they are so aware of possibilities they haven't yet explored. Though Airs have lightening quick minds, they struggle in the world of emotions and tend to attract water signs. See next week for water.

Aries You are entering a new phase of attention which will continue through mid-March. Issues of money and resources, or matters of personal values will be prominent as motivators. Do not confuse your individual identity with things of the world.

Taurus Mars, the red planet of war, will be traveling with you until mid-March. This energy is best used to handle physically heavy projects or start new projects. If you do not take charge of this assertive energy, the common side effects are irritability and infections.

Gemini Your ruling planet is moving into the sector that highlights travel, education, publishing, the internet, dealing with people from a distance or foreign cultures, issues of ethics and philosophical beliefs. Watch your attitude and your mouth after the weekend.

Cancer Your need to save money may be in conflict with your humanitarian instincts at this time. You could come up with a creative solution. Late in the week you will be encumbered with multiple little details that require your attention.

Leo The full moon is in your sign this week, so you may not sleep as well as normal. Your attention is focused on the activities of others, and the positive interactions occurring in special relationships. This is a good week to discuss how to make improvements in your relationship(s).

Virgo As you are attempting to follow your routine daily affairs this week, you encounter obstacles. People or circumstances just seem to be problematic and troublesome. Air travel could be fraught with interference. Allow plenty of time for boarding, transfers, etc.

Libra There may be a mild disappointment concerning a lover or a child this week. This individual may be in need of your support. Venus, your ruling planet, has entered the 7th house of relationships and will be there until early March. She brings improvements in clientele, social life, and partnerships.

Scorpio The next few weeks focus heavily on the "others" in your life and the state of your relationships. Look for ways to renew and revive the energy with your partner, business associates and close friends. You may be attending to environmental improvements that will uplift your spirits.

Sagittarius Your overall attitude is highly optimistic and your physical energy is overflowing. You can use these aspects to make improvements in your environment and your workplace. Beware of the temptation to promise more than you can deliver.

Capricorn Your partner is experiencing an increase in responsibility at this time, which may interfere with the daily affairs of the relationship. Your best approach is to offer concrete assistance where needed and give support and encouragement in an ongoing way.

Aquarius You will likely choose to make a sacrifice of time, money or energy on behalf of a special person. The routine of daily work feels more like a nuisance now than usual. Aspects favor social life and interactions with those of significant power.

Pisces Your energy level is high and it may keep you awake at night. This is a great time to focus attention on any type of oral or written work on your agenda. Errands, phone calls and other communications play more of a role than normal in this week's routine.
