"If apples were pears
And peaches were plums
And the rose had a different name
I'd love you just the same."
That is my favourite Valentine rhyme. I can never resist it at the beginning of February. Perhaps someone can use it in a Valentine.
Calculate Your Key Number
To find out what this month has in store for you, calculate 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 October 14, your personal number is determined as follows: 10 + 14 = 24. Then 2 + 4 = 6, and you have the key number (6) that you will keep for life. For more information, see here.
Key number 1
Be patient. Rushing will not make things go more quickly under this cycle month energy. Waiting for slow and patient development is the only way to achieve your goals. Cooperation and support for the people around you is what is most likely to bring satisfaction.
Of all the key numbers, this is the most appropriate for February. The more loving and considerate you are, the more you will magnetize what you want to bring into your life.
Key number 2
In this cycle month's energy you should be able to construct the perfect Valentine, or Valentines for those you care for. Creativity is available. Apply it to all aspects of your life. Whether you want to move your romantic life forward creatively, or come up with an unusual and creative solution to a difficult problem, the creative, innovative energies are there waiting to be used. You are an artist at life.
Key number 3
Under this cycle energy, it is extremely important to pay attention to all the little details in every aspect of your life. Being sloppy, especially in personal communication, will create undesirable emotional storms. Sometimes we can get away with being a little bit careless, when we are doing only what we think will be seen on the surface – but not this month! Sloth or sloppy will not hang happily from the tree of life. Work hard, show up on time, demonstrate dependability and you'll still be tested, but in the end, all will be well.
Key number 4
Be prepared for action. This cycle month is full of dynamic energy and unexpected twists and turns. Just when you think you have everything perfectly planned, fate will step in and the agenda will change.
Anything can happen. Go with the flow of this exciting and unpredictable energy. Take a little holiday or plan an intellectual challenge that you would normally not have the courage to approach.
Be reasonable in your expectations of Valentines. It is likely to turn out differently than you have been imagining. Think before you speak. Words have a way of flying out of your mouth, evading your filter. Be adaptable.
Key number 5
As long as you keep your expectations reasonable, this is a romantic cycle month.
It is the time of the householder, so, much joy will be found in your own home environment.
Family and relationships will need attention, so it is important for you to manage your domestic responsibilities. Small sacrifices bring large rewards in the future. Put much energy into acknowledging others, especially loved ones. Work at causing them to feel comfortable and secure in your love.
If you are not in a relationship, this is the perfect cycle energy to reach out, and make yourself available for love.
Key number 6
Pay attention to your intuition in this cycle month. If you do, you are bound to be led in the right direction. Perhaps you will find the perfect book, or a workshop which might change your whole approach to life. There is no doubt the spiritual side of your nature, will demand some attention. You may find yourself in a meditation class, in church or a temple, even if you're just there to visit, or to soak up the ambience.
What ever you do, it is important to spend some time inside yourself. This is at thinking energy not a social energy. Don't be afraid to be alone.
The questions for this month are: Who am I? Where am I going?
Key number 7
Under this cycle energy you may want to buy someone a really expensive Valentines gift. Or perhaps take them out for a good dinner. Spending may be irresistible but keep your cool, think things through, and only spend what you can afford.
In other parts of your life you may find yourself being acknowledged for good work done in the past. The energy of this cycle month is fortunate and there should be opportunities for recognition, expansion and financial gain. If you've been slacking off you may experience a reversal of fortune. It's a karmic energy and you will reap what you have sown over the last few months.
Key number 8
This cycle energy is meant for tying up the loose ends of the past. It is wise to let go of what is not working for you in all areas of your life. Evaluate your relationships – not only personal or romantic – but all of your relationships with family and friends. Decide where you must tweak, re-categorize or eliminate.
Aside from the romantic energy of Valentines, this can be a very emotional time and it may seem that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Take heart. It is only that the tunnel has taken a bit of a turn in a new direction, and the light will become visible next month. In the meantime keep your emotions in check, and be prepared for change.
Key number 9
This is a cycle month full of optimism and some confusion. A perfect cycle for enjoying Valentine's Day, but not a time to get carried away with romance only.
Your inner leader will ask to be released and it is important to let her/him out into the world. Don't let fear or insecurity stop you from taking advantage of this powerful and optimistic energy.
Look for opportunities for new relationships not only in your personal life but also in career life. Established friendships and relationships may need a little overhaul, so be willing to relate differently and perhaps with more maturity.
Stand up for what you really, really want.
