Mid to late February's energetic themes centre around moderation. Money will be the major area of concern for many of you, needing extra careful budgeting- living economically and thriftily. Now is a time when housing matters will be very important. Willpower is essential for this latter half of the month- it's firey nature is supported at the start by the rule of airy Aquarius, but starts to weaken for many when faced with the dampening influence of watery Pisces. In other words, March will see budgeting turn emotional and difficult for the less disciplined among you.

Negative influences will come in the form of manic impulses; beware of feeling "out of control" and of not giving due thought to commitments, purchases, and relationships. This will result in costly mistakes on all levels be they emotional, financial, physical or energetic. Be wary of taking on too much!

The receiving of gifts, attention, and gratification are among the positive influences working at this time, and will lighten the mood that frugality often fuels. Please heed the negative influences I warn of for this time, and keep any gifting you lavish on others within budget- showing appreciation doesn't have to cost the earth- or involve spending at all.
