After the relative ease of January, your February horoscope is a good deal more challenging for you, Taurus. The challenges that crop up are the sort that will help you grow and progress, but while you’re going through them, they’ll feel like conflicts. Your career is likely to require attention and you could find yourself getting cross-wise with people at work.

The energy between you and them will have its sharp edges, and it will be up to you to weigh whether to push on through bullishly or use your equally available velvet touch to charm your way through these situations. Just bear in mind that how you meet these challenges will matter to more people than just you, and the conflicts are likely to occur rather publicly. Try not to get in a situation of overload, and excuse yourself to think things through if need be.

In the planetary line-up, everybody and his dog is trekking through Aquarius this month, challenging you through square angles to your sun. Your ruling planet, Venus, can’t offer you much help, as it is transiting Aries and considered in detriment or weakened position. While good things are likely to come from all this Aquarian energy and there are certainly good times ahead for you this year, this month may be marked by aggravations.

However, Uranus in Pisces sextiles Taurus and provides an intriguing opportunity for personal change. Keep that idea handy in your toolbox. You can’t change everyone, but in response to the group pressures, you might choose to change something in yourself.

Early in the morning Feb. 9, the sun in Aquarius shines under just the right conditions to cause the Earth’s shadow to fall on the face of the full moon in Leo. This penumbral lunar eclipse underscores challenges for you between work and home situations and calls on you to set priorities.

Your ability to see the big picture is growing. In terms of your love life, take some time now and in the next couple of months to try to get a deeper sense of yourself and your partner (or potential partner) as individuals. Try to support each other spiritually.
