In General: The new Moon on the 3rd of this month is in Aquarius and aligns itself with Mars, suggesting quite a flash of energy and movement. From this point the energy builds quickly, carrying a more enthusiastic approach to community projects and humanitarian consciousness than we have seen for a while. This is most obvious around February 7 to 8 when friendship, group activities, communal pursuits, group tasks, humanitarian labours, and so on will be the main focus. New beginnings concerning all of these subjects will now be possible. This is a time during which individuals should consider solving problems that entail thinking outside of the square! With Mercury also in Aquarius from February 3rd there is a general thirst for knowledge and individuals are more open to new and innovative ideas. Communication and thought patterns are more impulsive and broadminded. Venus is in Capricorn for the bulk of February too suggesting we also get serious about our finances and work relationships. The combination of Aquarius and Capricorn enhances our ability for creating artistic structures and forms, and ideas can find their way into manifestation with more ease. Individuals will take the expression of feelings with greater sincerity, whilst there is the ability for more objectivity as well. With Jupiter squaring the moon’s node early this month however we can also expect common interests and shared resources to be areas of misunderstanding. So the suggestion is to take things slowly and double check your communications! If you celebrate your birthday this week then get ready for a year of group oriented activities! On the world scene it’s a time for humanitarian consciousness and projects will be begun with this in mind. Financial fairness will be on the minds of folk now and of course the misunderstanding element of this energy will show itself here. Locally we can expect to get together for community minded events.

Aries
March 21- April 20
You’re getting ready for a bigger and busier future. Others have some great ideas to offer you this week so keep your listening ears on! From the 5th your work mates and superiors will start to appreciate you more and value your input so be ready to shine. Attend any work related social gatherings as these are excellent opportunities for you.
Taurus
April 21-May 21
There is a greater than usual desire for adventure and breaking from routine now. However work and daily responsibilities are also on the increase so you can feel a little out of sorts! The first few days this week are ones in which you might feel your usual confidence wane. Stay away from those who don’t appreciate you!
Gemini
May 22-June 21
This week is another where words do not serve you as well as usual. It is what you do that counts now, so be mindful of that. Paying attention to practical matters and getting your life organised and in order pays of best at this time. From the 4th things do get a tad easier and you can go out and adventure a bit more.
Cancer
June 22- July 23
Finding wisdom in making choices and prioritising the essentials in your life is the main focus this week. Your sense of vocational purpose is coming to the fore again and you will want to be on track for those long term goals. Your ideas are more solid and practical now so make the most of them.
Leo
July 24- August 23
Chinese New Year on the 3rd is a better time for you to set those New Year resolutions than January 1st was. With a bit of thought and intention you can make the things you want to happen actually happen. Loved ones are settling into their stride now too so are easier to communicate with and less demanding.
Virgo
August 24- September 23
Working with others as part of a bigger group will serve you well this week. You are more generous, enigmatic and sociable than usual and it pays off well. If you keep objectivity in mind and stay as logical as you usually do then expect some measure of success now. Enjoy the proceeds of sustained effort!
Libra
September 24- October 23
Whatever happens this is the start of a much easier month than last! But still, you need to be careful on the 3rd and 7th. On these days a family matter can make you tense, taking an observational and detached approached to it all will be best. Do not allow yourself to be manipulated into someone else’s problems.
Scorpio
October 24-November 22
This week you are able to perceive the deeper truths in situations and people. You can get down to your daily business with a clearer head. The energy of this time is best used to de-clutter your personal space and get rid of things both personal and practical that you no longer need. Clear the decks for better things to come.
Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
The 2nd is the most challenging day of this week, when all things with a modicum of issue for you seem to interconnect and reach their pinnacle! The rest of the week has better flow and life seems to get back on track with some gusto! Your social life picks up and others are ready to let you know you are appreciated.
Capricorn
December 22- January20
The first two days of this week are frustrating and difficult but it’s not your problems that are the issue. If you can leave others to take care of their own issues then you are much better off. After the 4th Venus adds some much better energy to your life and your ability to attract friends, helpful individuals and money is at an all time high.
Aquarius
January 21- February 19
The New moon in your sign is a great opportunity to make firm your intentions for the year ahead. It’s time to get clear about what you want to do and set this intention into action. The weeks to come will offer you much support and help so don’t allow any preconceived obstacles to stand in your way.
Pisces
February 20 March 20
Getting long term tasks completed now will stand you in good stead later this year. This week is a good time to be thinking along these lines as a lot of help is available now. Anything that you are avoiding and not getting on firm ground with will become a bigger issue for you around the 7th.
Astral peeks: Chinese New Year 3rd February 2011
Chinese New Year begins with the New Moon on the first day of the New Year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the New Year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade. The Chinese calendar is founded on an amalgamation of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese put in an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year. The celebration was customarily highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors. This year, the year of the Rabbit is purported to be a very placid year, very much hailed and needed after the fierce year of the Tiger.
This will be a pleasant year in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. The influence of the Rabbit tends to blemish those who like too much comfort and thus harm their efficiency and sense of duty however. Another difficulty with the Rabbit is our tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible.
