Welcome to the February 2007 Celestial Living Arts monthly e-newsletter.

...inspirationally practical advice for enjoying the art of living.
It's the VALENTINE's Forecast!

The New Moon setting the stage for our annual Valentine's Day Love Fest suggests that chivalry and courtships are not necessarily a thing of the past and that, even those most soldiered in the lessons of love, can still get their socks knocked off from time to time. Newly aligned energies beaming in on our Sun/Moon dance from Jupiter (expansion) and Uranus (change) indicate the romance department of our lives may be due for some shifts and changes that will best be experienced and enriched through enlarging and exploring our very concepts of love.

On Valentine's Day, we can look at the planetary line-up and see that we have the opportunity to set specific goals on how we can express and realize our most idealized notions of loving and being loved. There are strong overtones of dreamy, imaginative Neptune that will need to be filtered through the reality check of Saturn, which means both time and effort are called for. But in the end, each sign of the zodiac can strive for a more mature, evolved and compassionate experience of love with their own private Romeo or Juliet as well as with the whole of the planet and beyond. 2007 Lovescopes and contemplations for each of the signs follows:

February Monthly Forecast

ARIES: (March 21-April 19):
Themes for your 2007 love calendar, Aries, call upon your ability to sense and feel the vibratory bliss of others which the cosmos is just dying to share with you. The feminine side of your martian get-up-and-go will need a channel for expression and, fortunately for you, the world is full of unexplored channels in that department.
Aries 2007 Love Contemplation: Love is anterior to life, posterior to death, initial of creation, and the exponent of breath. ~Emily Dickinson

TAURUS: (April 20-May 20):
Known as the practical builders of the zodiac, the Taurean tribe is of the "if they come, I will build it" school of thought. And this serves you well, as it does the rest of the zodiac signs since we count on you foundationally to have the proper resources in place. The irony of this statement is that your love stars for 2007 call for you to put the cart before the horse and dream up every possible scenario where camaraderie and congeniality meet passion and pleasure to define one of the most unique experiences of love enjoyed by mankind.
Taurus 2007 Love Contemplation: It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

GEMINI: (May 21-June 20):
Whatever you're doing to entertain your desires, ignite your passion and become one with the great cosmic mind, you should plan to be doing it front and center and in public this year, Gemini. You should explore new love vibes by changing dance partners frequently and learning to love each and every one of them in their own special way. This, of course, does not preclude remaining in or seeking to enter a committed and long-standing relationship. If you're a Gemini, I think you know what I mean.
Gemini 2007 Love Contemplation: Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important. ~Lisa Hoffman

CANCER: (June 21-July 22):
My fellow Cancerian, if you have not yet experimented with this piece of creative manifestation, I would strongly urge you to bring this universal truth down into the day-to-day functions of your working love life. It's the one that says, "when you change your view, your view changes." You can work quite creatively and travel far with your concepts of love in the year to come by aligning with your inner cosmic beloved.
Cancer 2007 Love Contemplation: Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine De Saint-Exupery

LEO: (July 23-Aug. 22):
Love often comes easily for Leos, even effusively and effervescently so at times. In the year to come, Leos will elevate their love potential by expanding their natural ability to exude heart-warming affection in a pay-it-forward scenario of a cosmic gifting circle. Venus says, "I love you because you love me" and now Leos can begin to practice the higher octave mantra of Neptune which says, "I love because it is the nature of love to love."
Leo 2007 Love Contemplation: The love we give away is the only love we keep. ~Elbert Hubbard

VIRGO: (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Virgo, this is your opportunity to think like an Aquarian, behave like a Virgo and meld with all others like a Pisces. In other words, stay open to the new and unknown, be reasonable about your expectations and allow yourself to fall in love with anyone and everyone from time to time.
Virgo 2007 Love Contemplation: Although the act of nurturing another's spiritual growth has the effect of nurturing one's own, a major characteristic of genuine love is that the distinction between oneself and the other is always maintained and preserved. ~M. Scott Peck

LIBRA: (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
Libra, can you imagine going into battle as a love slave? Now, I am NOT suggesting we try to solve the world's problems by increasing the ranks of prostitutes on the planet, but the very notion of putting down one's sword in order to raise one's heart is quite possibly a previously unthunk strategy you might want to consider for optimal interaction on the lovefront.
Libra 2007 Love Contemplation: The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. ~Blaise Pascal

SCORPIO: (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
Beauty reigns this year Scorpio and the more blurred the vision and bleary-eyed the love-object becomes, the more alluring you will find him/her/it to be. Your personal power base will actually be enhanced with a softer, gentler approach to all matters in love.
Scorpio 2007 Love Contemplation: The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment. ~James Baldwin

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Dear Sag, there's a lot of uncovered ground out there in the unwritten, unstudied, unexperienced annals of love. I feel that this will be your year to engulf yourself with this important research so that we can all excel in our abilities to recognize and reap the benefits of cosmic, blissful L-O-V-E spells love.
Sagittarius 2007 Love Contemplation: I truly feel that there are as many ways of loving as there are people in the world and as there are days in the life of those people. ~Mary S. Calderone

CAPRICORN: (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
There does seem to be something of a theme appearing for you, Capricorn, that creates a small struggle between what's mine and what's yours, what's due from the past and what's negotiable in the present. But ultimately, your most rewarding experiences to be enjoyed and appreciated in the love realms will come through a sense of fortification via spontaneous release.
Capricorn 2007 Love Contemplation: Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. ~Rumi

AQUARIUS: (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
If you are feeling any sense of being unfairly taxed in duty to a love relationship this year Aquarius, I would urge you to consider how our generous concepts of unconditional love are actually rather conditionally limited in practice. Your growth comes through the investigation of the individual and collective humanitarian potential for both.
Aquarius 2007 Love Contemplation: If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question? ~Lily Tomlin

PISCES: (Feb. 19-March 20):
Of all of the zodiac, Pisces, your sign is the most navigationally mutable (think boat on a water without a rudder) and psychically attuned to the ambient energies of others (think antennae that indiscriminately picks up all the signals). Therefore, when it comes to your particular lessons of achieving enlightened love, it often boils down to a requirement that you stay present and separately embodied on the road to cosmic bliss.
Pisces 2007 Love Contemplation: Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin, as self-neglecting. ~William Shakespeare
