The Sun and Mercury transit your 7th House of marriage, a marriage partner, business partnerships, legal issues and a possible contract, Leo. Mercury (Planet of communications) will be retrograde in your 7th House until 2/11, so as February begins, you could experience some delays with a marriage, deal with misunderstandings in a legal matter or be dealing with snafus in your professional life, Leo. The good news? Once Mercury resumes direct on 2/11, these very areas promise to benefit you until 2/18, when the Sun moves into Pisces, Leo.
A Full Moon occurs in Leo (Your 1st House) on 2/3 and the New Moon occurs in Aquarius on 2/18. More about these New and Full Moons will be covered in our Weekly Forecasts, Cancer.
As February begins, Venus (Love and Money) and Mars (Sexuality and Motivation) will continue their tour of Pisces, a water sign that can douse out your fire. With Mars and Venus in your 8th House, expect some fireworks, Leo! Venus in the 8th House can bring about a boost in income or your sex life, but you might have to wait until after 2/11, to see this manifest. Mars and Venus are powerful when traveling together, but since Mercury is in direct opposition to your 7th House and Mars occupies a water sign, hang in there under Mercury retrograde in Aquarius (your 7th House). You don't want to lose your cool when in the presence of important company. Plus, with a Full Moon in your sign, there could be something about you, your health or the way you present yourself that creates some challenges for you, Leo. Mars in the 8th can bring about aggressiveness regarding intimacy, shared income, metaphysics and when dealing with taxes, insurance and mortgages, so wait until the planets align in Aries to make your best moves, Leo. You have some excellent days at the end of the month to outwit, outsmart and outlast any competitor - but remember with Saturn in your 5th House, you must choose your battles wisely and be extra careful to play by the rules. Jupiter in Leo favors you, but is still retrograde as well as February begins, so you could be low on energy, tired and your health will command the spotlight this month.
On 2/20, Venus and Mars exit your 8th House of Pisces and enter the more compatible sign of Aries, your 9th House of overseas travel, higher learning and your world views, Leo. This is a more favorable time for you then Mars/Venus in Pisces was, so make the most of having the stars on your side, Leo. A romance grow even warmer, you stand to make money relating to publishing or you get restless and decide to take a trip to an exotic destination. You will also be tempted to spend money on things you don't really need but the desire will be so so strong, Leo! Hold off on spending this month unless you have to pay someone you owe for best/ideal results.
Your Best days for Love and Money: 2/3, 2/4, 2/7, 2/24 & 2/25
Challenging days: 2/1, 2/5, 2/6, 2/20 & 2/23
