Libra

Libra (Ruling Planet: Venus; Element: Air) You, Libra, are the charming, tactful one. You have a magnetism about you. Socially, you are gifted. You can talk your way out of anything, and justice is a valued virtue to The Scales. But like most air signs, you can become detached and unreliable. You’re so indecisive sometimes that, more often than not, you bail completely, and you don’t do well with confrontation.

Everyone better watch out for you this month. You’ll be absolutely radiant and effortlessly charming, even more than usual — and I’m not just blowing smoke up your ass. It’s in the stars; A new moon, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus all enter your ~love sector~ this February. You might also feel more affectionate around this time, so don’t be afraid to show your sweet side. When the new moon enters Aquarius on Feb. 8th, you’ll be blessed with all the inspiration and motivation you’ll need for the rest of the month. Embrace this energy. Mercury in Aquarius on Feb. 13th will help you focus, for a time, until your ruling planet, Venus, joins Mercury in Aquarius on Feb. 16th and all hell breaks loose. You’ll enjoy being less serious (as if that’s hard for you), so wait until the Sun enters Pisces to tackle any projects you’ve been meaning to finish. But, then again, don’t put too much pressure on yourself, because if you’re not enjoying your work, you won’t do it. As the month comes to a close, and a full moon in Virgo rolls around on the 22nd, you’ll feel more emotional, but also more secluded. Don’t hesitate to take this time to yourself.

Your February Trax:

With such a lovely, optimistic forecast for February, you might gravitate to some already well-loved albums this month. Lungs by Florence & the Machine, Teen Dream by Beach House, or Belle & Sebastian’s The Life Pursuit all seem like viable options. And these recommendations would seem without if there wasn’t a Mariah Carey listing. Daydream is the perfect and obvious choice for letting loose and loving your inner Libra.
