With Valentine’s day peering its gruesome head around the corner, love is mandated to be on the brain. Venus, planet of love, enters Capricorn on February 3rd, lending Capricorn’s grounded, down to earth spirit to our romantic affairs. Established relationships may experience strength in stability and the desire to truly commit or recommit. In newer relationships, a little work may need to be done to communicate your feelings.
In addition to the fairly tame love forecast for the month, Mercury enters Pisces this month, broadening our horizons and bringing us new perspectives. Mars enters Taurus on Valentine's day, muting our passions somewhat for a slower burn so to speak. Finally, Chiron enters Aries this month where it will remain until 2027. Chiron, the healer, will be dealing with issues of the ego and the self. Although Chiron will be in Aries for a long time, the Aries nature should lend a little speed to the process.
