Your forecast for February 2012

Strangely evocative of the past, February can have a set of almost ghostly memories or images fleetingly arriving in your consciousness in a way that can be startling in the short term. If you were to find that this month had strong moments of déjà vu, so much the better. It seems as though there are a lot of doors closing in a way that's almost invisible except to yourself and those close to you. Veils are clearing from your eyes in a number of areas, and your willingness to deal with things the way they are as opposed to the way you want them to be is commendable. Add to this the Leo full Moon, on the 7th, again suggestive of closure and endings and particularly reminiscent of mid 1999. Having said that, it's not a bad month. Early Leo's should find increasing stimulation and anticipation growing, and as long as they don't go over the top and bite off more than they can chew, all will be progressively developmental. Late Leos seem to be entering a much more stable space than in recent times, with an energy of restructure and consolidation in the background.both now and for the foreseeable future. There's no sign of new challenge or opposition on the horizon, and you're not sabotaging yourself. The dawning clarity starting in February may come as a bit of shock initially, but what most of you will find is that you'll use the new emerging ideas as a wave of creative energy, something that will let you express yourself in an uncluttered way for the first time in what seems like years.

The primary influence in 2012 is the relief that comes now that much of the confusion and uncertainty, the fog and the quicksand of recent years is over. Regardless of how the year turns out, it is safe to say that the disorder is now at an end, and all of you will notice a steady but solid influence becoming more and more the order of the day, at least from the start of February onwards. What you're not going to experience in 2012 is any direct opposition coming your way, either in terms of external challenge or internal sabotage. Many of you, but primarily those born in July, will experience 2012 as a year of new development that could and should bring an element of the new, novel and intriguing into your life in a way that gives you a chance to start again. Others of you, particularly those born after the 13th, are going to find that most of the year brings a chance to consolidate and strengthen those areas of your life that have passed recent challenge. And those mid Leo's, whilst not as directly as others, are going to find a number of growthful opportunities developing as the middle of the year concludes, acting as fishing lines being thrown into the future. Of particular interest is the time of mid July to early August, when Mercury is retrograde in your sign and there may well be a few weeks of communication breakdown, erroneous information or some other type of revelation that will not be seen correctly until the end of August. 2012 is not a difficult year, but neither is it a year for major pushes forward. Instead, it's a year to firm up existing and remaining ground in a way that grounds you in preparation for the next leap forward.
PLUTO isn't affecting any of you directly during 2012.
NEPTUNE, similarly, leaves you alone from the start of February onwards. Only those born at the very end of Leo are still feeling the last dregs of mist disappearing.
URANUS is bringing a degree of unusual opportunity to those of you born from July 7 - 31; chances that should be at least recognised if not taken with the full knowledge that opportunities like this don't come that often.
SATURN is bringing a degree of stability into the lives of those of you born after 14 August, although from October onwards he will challenge some of you, mainly those born in July, to exercise o greater degree of discernment about your priorities in life.
JUPITER will test every one of you between January and May in terms of your ability to know when to stop, although from June onwards there will be chances for specific growth patterns to evolve, especially if you're born before 10 August.
MARS won't pass through your sign in 2012
VENUS is with you from 6 September to 3 October
MERCURY visits, including its retrograde period, from 26 June to 1 September
The Leo new Moon is on August 17 and the full Moon is on February 7
