Mars has only just started to influence finances and sharing but could increase your expenses or create tension with a lover regarding joint finances or investments. This trend is likely to continue until the end of March, but events this week could mark the start of discussions or plans put into action to create a more secure financial foundation. A Full Moon on Tuesday might remind you that you owe it to yourself to step back into the shadows and focus more on your needs than others'. The balance between giving and taking where your involvement or connection with certain people is concerned might need balancing, and some 'you time' might be essential.

The cosmos appears keen to shake up your love life in more than one way this month, and it all starts with a New Moon influencing romance and self-expression on the 4th. There's bound to be something unusual or non-traditional about what – or who – makes your heart flutter. Do what your heart insists is right for you. Further unusual love life developments await on or around February 13 and what transpires might require you to think and act quickly. It might take the form of a love life reality check or accepting something between you and another can't be glossed over indefinitely. From February 14 until March 31, a constant stream of expenses could arrive and push you to create more secure financial foundations. A Full Moon on February 19 could culminate with you feeling tried – emotionally and physically – of shouldering responsibilities that others should be carrying. Withdrawing yourself could send a necessary signal to those who've grown too accustomed to you absorbing too much of what ought to be shared.
