Welcome to Chakra Astrology. Each sign is ruled by one of the seven planets that can be seen in the sky with our eyes. From the top down, they are: Jupiter, the Moon, Venus, Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Saturn. These planets equate with the seven Chakras, which are reflected by the colors below.

Tough business types should fare best early in the month, especially famous sexy ones (did you hear that, Brangelina)? But there is some heartbreak in the air, so good timing is more important now than ever. A Mercury-Uranus Eclipse by Valentine’s Day virtually guarantees lots of public splashes, news announcements and political fervor, as well as major activity in technology and the stock market. The time is ripe for famous wedding bells and corporate mergers.

Aries (3/21-4/20) – The groundwork that you laid over the past four months now leads to a stage of frenzied action. After the 18th, your ruler moves into chatty Gemini, putting you in the political hot seat as the diplomat attempting to resolve disputes between two very opposing factions. Time to dust off your copy of Miss Manners. Tact will get you a very long way now.

Taurus (4/21-5/21) – If anyone could use a day at the spa, it’s you. Figuring out how to juggle home vs. work demands is still a challenge. Because there is so much that is up in the air in your environment right now, being unclear about where you fit in might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Try re-inventing yourself.

Gemini (5/22-6/22) – You may find yourself involved with information that gets out to the public or the masses in some way. This can lead you right into the middle of something shocking or scandalous. Do you enjoy it? If you find yourself holding a video camera during the scandal of the year, it’s certainly good for some entertainment, and it could possibly bring you notoriety.

Cancer (6/23-7/22) – You are in the unique position to prop up situations that could most certainly collapse without your intervention. But it can get exhausting holding up the sky like Atlas. Even you need relief sometimes. It might be a really good idea for you to get a part-time assistant sky carrier. Near months end, you don’t want to appear out of step with your community.

Leo (7/23-8/22) – The good news is that focusing on creativity, art and diplomacy is the saving grace and can lead you right out of a tense situation. In fact, by keeping your eyes open and your mind alert you could just find the golden ticket that sits right beneath everyone else’s noses.

Virgo (8/23-9/22) – You stand in the position to form powerful alliances and partnerships that can lead to the success of your ideas and plans. Just be careful and thorough, and you should be able to set yourself up for some long-term benefits. Stay out of the way of temperamental people who may throw destructive temper tantrums. You’ve got more important things to do.

Libra (9/23-10/22) – Good luck and opportunity are presented to you this month. You could even make long-term progress and plans. Events around the 20th could be very disruptive and you need to be on guard so that you aren’t affected. Also be careful that you cover all the bases – even the ones that aren’t your responsibility. It’s too easy for something important to slip through the cracks now. I’d hate to see that get in the way of your good luck.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22) – After the 18th you get to go out there and be the world’s greatest salesman for your plans, ideas and general strokes of genius. Meanwhile, avoid the drama that peaks around the 20th. You’re in too vulnerable of a position. I don’t recommend you do anything to try to interfere. Even if it seems uncomfortable to you, now is the time to go out there and sell yourself to new contacts. You never know what new door will magically open.

Sagittarius (11/23-12/22) – You’re always optimistic, but this month that attitude could turn into actual cash in your hand as well. Be careful of the fixed attitudes of others, though, especially around the 20th. Some minds just can’t be changed, and the best thing to do is to work around them and avoid letting the problems spill over onto your plate. Work toward creating transformation and solution after the threat has passed.

Capricorn (12/23-1/21) – Your mind is sharp, and filled with facts. But will this help with the clashes of view that are so apparent around the 20th? Probably not, but there is ongoing support from the public or your community that helps to ease any tensions. Venus is giving you a boost as well and helping your popularity rating and your cash flow. Your insight and creativity are great assets now, so use them.

Aquarius (1/22-2/20) – You stand to benefit if you can shift your focus onto areas that allow you to use your visualization skills and imagination to greater effect – redecorate your bedroom! Be careful not to take on mentors or to become one this month. Results are likely to be disappointing. Working alone and with your powers of concentration will yield better and more creative results.

Pisces (2/21-3/19) – Your visual and creative abilities are in high gear this month. Can re-decorating save the world? I don’t know, but if it can, you’ll be the one to do it. Also be extra aware when you are in the middle of gossip, especially from the 11th to the 22nd. Sometimes it’s not so idle and can cause problems. I’d stay completely out of it if I were you.
