Your forecast for February 2012
Your video is here
Finally, Saturn's screw has stopped the ratcheting up process and the steadily increasing stress and tension of the last six months is beginning to plateau. It's not that life is suddenly getting any lighter or easier, but neither is it getting any harder. Perhaps February is best used as one of those months where you can cast a critical eye over your domain and what you have left of it and ask yourself about the consistency of your values over the last couple of years. Do you still want the same things as you did two years ago when Saturn moved into your sign? What is likely to happen is that during February you can find yourself becoming almost scarily detached from everyone and everything around you, as though you've temporarily stepped off of planet and gone into a stasis zone whilst the energies around you sort themselves out. It's not a problematical time; it's just that you may find it difficult to engage, to feel part of what is going on and to find validity in situations around you. So if you feel apart from the rest of the world to a certain extent during February, worry not - it will pass, and should take (individually) no longer than two or three weeks. Now you are entering a period of further evaluation and decision, although the results and the actions that accompany those decisions won't see the clear light of day for half a year yet. February is the time to watch, observe and start the long term decision making process inside yourself.

2012 is going to be another one of those years in that you cannot expect a time of peace and quiet. Some of you are going to find the year downright challenging, and the ways that you handle those challenges will dictate your long term future. A few of you may find the coming year somewhat difficult, and there may be a need for one or two of you to watch your back. A few others of you are going to find that whatever you plan, 2012 will not work out the way you expect, and that you'll need to keep your surf boards waxed and your roller skates oiled. These energies of long term change are primarily going to affect those of you born during September as opposed to October, and it's best to get objective and impersonal advice before making any new long term commitments. Others amongst you, primarily those born after the 14th October, are likely to experience the first nine months of the year as a time of ongoing restriction and circumstances outside of your control holding you back, not so much in terms of direct authority as much as having the brakes put on. Those of you born before October 10 should also find that the second seven months of the year are more favourable than the first five. In general, the year ahead is one of change and ongoing transformation, and if you keep your current position and boundaries too rigid, they will shatter and crumble. Alternatively, if you are willing to let your boundaries change from concrete and steel to rubber and elastic, you'll become more flexible and adaptable whilst at the same time remaining invulnerable. It's the final year of a three year period of restructuring so take your time and do it properly.
PLUTO is directly challenging those of you born between 29 September and 2 October in a way that suggests you must make choices - either that or face events from others choices. Sometimes it's better to act than it is to react.
NEPTUNE isn't touching you directly during 2012.
URANUS is bringing direct challenge to those of you born between 27 September and 1 October, the need for change can no longer be ignored. It is just a question whether you act or react when change comes knocking on your door.
SATURN will act as a brake in the lives of those of you born after 14 October, at least until June and possibly as late as late September. If there is still a gravity or tension around, work it through and know it will go one way or another by October.
JUPITER will not affect you significantly in the first five months of the year, but from June onwards does start to shine beneficently on Librans born before 11 October.
MARS enters Libra on July 3 and leaves on August 23.
VENUS is with you from 28 October to 22 November.
MERCURY visits from 5 - 29 October, and again from 14 November - 11 December.
The Libra new Moon is on 15 October and the full Moon is on 6 April
