While it should be and is business as usual on both sides of the financial fence this month, things do heat up at both ends of the month. With no planets in your income sector, starting and ending the month with the Moon here is a huge advantage. Not just because you will end and start the month with a sharp nose for money but the timing. The Moon will be here until 2nd February, leaving just a few hours before Venus leaves your work sector, where as the planet of money she is working to fuel your job confidence, attract opportunities and steer things in a lucrative direction. As the Moon moves through it will also form a friendly aspect to Mars, who is spending his first, last and only full month in your career sector. While Venus will be gone from your work sector by the time the Moon comes full circle to end the month in your income sector, with Pluto there, this will begin and end the month under positive conditions across the income, work and career fronts. It is in between that the focus will shift back to the other side of the financial fence, where dreamy Neptune and the dwarf planet Ceres are spending their final weeks together. It was their alignment last month that made their mission to update your financial dreams, needs and priorities more transparent. Ceres will leave on 21st February but not before the Sun's return on 18th February will turn the solar spotlight onto your financial situation and money matters, as happens at this time every year. It is eight days later that Venus, the planet of money will return on 26th February, where she will fuel your financial confidence and help to turn financial desires into reality. It is having the Sun here that turns the Moon's return to your income sector into a Full Moon on 27th February. A clash between the Sun and Moon will energise both sides of the financial fence.
