The Love Month: Your Numerology Cycles for February 1–14, 2010

Let’s face it, February is a love month. Not only is it Valentine’s Day this month, but Vancouver and the surrounding area is in love with itself and all its Olympic possibilities. Daffodils are already struggling to show themselves in all their glory. I think I saw a camellia bush in full bloom this week. It’s spring and we are in Vancouver. We must have all done something good in our past lives.

To discover what the first half of February will bring for you, find your key number by adding the day and month of your birth. Continue adding until you arrive at a single digit. For example, if your birthday is February 14, your personal number is determined as follows: 02 + 14 = 16. Then 1 + 6 = 7, and you have the key number (7) that you will keep for life.

1 Key Number
The best-laid plans in life and love life will begin with a clear perception of what you really, really want. This is not a time to compromise. Being in love with love is all very well, but being honest with yourself is what gets you into the bed you really want to sleep in, eventually. Remember, flowers and cards are a necessity, not an option.

2 Key Number
This may seem like a “going nowhere” month, but it’s actually a time for inner journeying. There is a great deal of magic available to you now. Play with it. Send some energy to your favourite athlete. Intention, when well focussed, can actually make a difference. Ask Adam, Vancouver’s own Olympic-class healer. He’ll tell you it’s true.

3 Key Number
Expect results this month. What you have been creating in your life will returns in the form of results, positive and negative. Don’t be a cry-baby if you have neglected to create good karma. Just dry your tears and start again. The gods of karma will smile on your good intentions.

4 Key Number
Wrap things up now. Find a position where you have a clear, unobstructed view of your life and decide what is working for you and what isn’t. Use your charm in social situations and no one will be able to resist you, especially if you smile. Emotional life may be a bit rocky, but what ends now is fated, and you can’t argue with fate, though you can change it through positive action.

5 Key Number
This vibrant period brings a new beginning for you, a new slate on which to write your future. This month contains a fortunate, if somewhat aggressive, energy. It is a time to plant seeds for the future, make new friends and contacts, and push your dreams forward. Avoid a tendency to be overwhelming with those close to you. Your dreams may not be theirs.

6 Key Number
Go with the flow. Life is full of opportunities if you work in the background. You may not be a figure skater, but this is a time when your graceful motion and ease with diplomacy can win gold medals for you in the game of life. Co-operation and support of others is the key. Just continue to skate around awkward situations with flair and gracious movement.

7 Key Number
This is a perfect month for you to enjoy the Olympics. Socialize, celebrate and bring joy to others. You are under the influence of a creative vibration and your energy is at its peak. Take time away from work if you can, but if not, be as creative as possible wherever you find yourself. You have the choice between being joyful or depressed. Choose joy—you’ll be happy you did.

8 Key Number
This is the month for great accomplishments. Yes, you will be tested, but push on through in a methodical, structured way, and build your life as you want it. Love is in the air, but you will also need stability and balance. This is not a time to play the field. Pay attention to details, especially in contracts or agreements.

9 Key Number
Wear red whenever possible. Explore, take time off, and take risks in communication. Open your mind to the possibility of making new friends and starting new relationships. Go outside and talk to strangers. This is a month to party and exercise freedom. There will be a strong tendency to overindulge in everything that is fun. Go for it, but in a moderate way.

How Romantic: The epic story of a woman who can cope with everything during the Civil War except losing the love of the man she thinks she wants to another woman, then realizes too late that she's let the true love of her life slip through her fingers forever.

11. Annie Hall (1977)
Romantic Leads: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton
How Romantic: The amorous adventures of a neurotic New York comedian and his equally neurotic Midwestern girlfriend Annie Hall. The film traces the course of their relationship from their first meeting, and serves as an interesting historical document about love in the 1970s. It's still Allen's best film.

Romantic Leads: Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand
How Romantic: They meet in college, but years pass before a romance blooms. She's a political activist; he's bored by politics. She's stern and serious; he's easygoing and laid-back. Although they love each other deeply, their differences begin to tear them apart. The high-water mark among modern tearjerkers, this bittersweet tale makes a fine romantic-movie litmus test, as its heartwrenching melodrama is every bit as sweeping as its ambitious story arc.
