Enjoy Yourself

You start out feeling a little less sociable than usual early this month, but that will change pretty quickly. Venus and the Sun are in your 12th House of Privacy until February 11 and 18, which can keep you on the social sidelines. Whether you're seeking a break because you need some quiet time or whether you just seem to be invisible to others, it's probably wise to chill for the time being.

The mood takes a definite turn for the better when Venus, astrology's planet of love, enters your sign on February 11. This usually goes along with looking better and feeling better. Attention is drawn toward your favorable traits to make you more desirable. Do what you can to please yourself with pampering and doing activities that warm your heart. You've got to like yourself first to get honest appreciation from someone else. If you already have a partner, Venus is sending a signal to invest more time and energy into romance now. You're a master at creating atmospheres, so do your stuff with lights, music, wine, etc. to turn your place into the sexiest spot on earth. If you're single, Venus is working full time to put you in the best light possible, so help nature along by making yourself available to meet people. You're due to have a great time, even if it doesn't lead to everlasting love. There are lots of ways to enjoy yourself while advancing your romantic interests. One key is to try not to be overly sensitive to others' opinions, since you may take everything to heart.
