“Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship -- never.”

-- Jane Austen

Expect the unexpected in your love life as the planet of beauty and love moves into the sign of rebellion and breakthroughs February 1 through February 25. The loosest rein is definitely the tightest when relating to anyone for the next few weeks. The more freedom allowed, the better when dealing with the fixed Air quality of Aquarius.

There is also a more gregarious and outgoing side to this Venus. Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and since Venus shows what brings us pleasure, you can bet that spending time with your tribe is more satisfying than ever. It’s also an invitation to put more romance into your friendships and more friendship into your romances. We often fail to treat our lover with the same patience, detachment and understanding that we may give to our friends. Venus in Aquarius can set this problem straight.

This is also a time to break out of relationship ruts. Aquarius is all about experimentation and trying something completely different. If you’ve found yourself repeating patterns that either sabotage your relationships or cause harm due to lack of understanding, this is your chance to break free from such limiting ideas in relationships.

Independence and originality are favored now, so don’t be afraid to express your more eccentric style. This phase can inspire a bit of the kinky side in all of us. It’s all about breaking the rules and going for the shock value. Whatever you do, don’t become too predictable during this period. If you want Venus on your side, keep everyone on their toes!
