From 24 February to 1 March

Ḥabuwyah accompanies the period from 24 February to 1 March and belongs to the Angels. The motto is «An inner activity that must not let itself be stopped». This symbolic portrait unites compassion, initiative and the desire to get what has broken working again.

You want to understand what is wrong and find a way to intervene. Other people's distress can become a practical drive to seek a solution. This attitude has applications in medicine, veterinary medicine and research, but also in mechanics, restoration and reorganising a business. The common thread is repairing, recovering possibilities and making something useful again.

You need to exercise this ability consistently. A life devoted only to maintenance and procedures already worked out may leave you disengaged. When you encounter a meaningful difficulty, however, curiosity, intuition and courage can work together. The problem becomes a challenge to face, without having to treat every negative outcome as a personal defeat.

Performance offers another form of expression: reaching others through a lively presence. Goldoni, Caruso, Rossini, Buffalo Bill, Elizabeth Taylor, Vincent Minnelli, Johnny Cash and Ernesto Alonso appear in this field. Their common connection is the stage, with its different languages and ability to engage an audience.

Politics may also interest you as work on collective problems. A speech, a project or an organisation becomes a way to address what is not working. Determination needs study and listening: wanting to repair a system does not make you the only person capable of understanding it.

You may know how to enjoy a success and then leave it behind to seek a new goal. Your relationship with money can be dynamic: generating resources and spending them on a full life or new projects. A setback may suggest changing strategy rather than stopping. Other people's approval matters less when you see clearly the problem you are working on.

Your main flaw is allowing this independence to become indifference towards emotional needs. You may see home only as a place to recover your strength and friends mainly as people to discuss your reasoning with. If someone asks for something else, you risk judging them an obstacle. Focusing on the task does not, however, remove the reciprocity relationships need.

When opportunities to care, repair or express yourself are missing, you may reduce your initiative and feel far below your potential. Every desire seems to bring complications, and you end up doing less than you would like. Finding a practical application, however small, gives your attention a real object again.

The comparison with Steve Jobs brings responsibility for innovation into this portrait: knowing how to build and present something is not enough; assessing the uses and consequences of what you put into the world matters too. This attention belongs to every activity that can affect other people's lives.

Hugo and Steinbeck represent exposing social ills through writing and public concern. Rudolf Steiner, in turn, evokes an attempt to influence cultural directions and the pleasure of developing ideas before an audience. The common core is giving shape to a problem so that it can be addressed; individual proposals still need to be assessed on what they advocate.

If your profession does not offer enough space, you can seek it in volunteering, a charitable initiative or caring for plants and animals. You can also collaborate on the project of someone close to you while keeping your contribution recognisable. The direction is to use compassion consistently and leave room, alongside action, for the people who share your life.
