In this system February is the month of repentance: it is named after an ancient rite of cleansing with which everything accumulated over the year was closed off.
The February task is cleansing. The person comes to close what nobody in the lineage ever answered for: to acknowledge, to apologise, to give back, to finish.
It is felt as guilt without a cause and as a tendency to take on what belongs to others. A February person often apologises for what they did not do and sets about repairing what was broken before them — and this really is their task, not a neurotic habit.
It matters where the line runs. Cleansing does not mean punishing oneself: paying with oneself closes nothing in the lineage, it only adds to the common account.
The task is fulfilled by acts in the present — by the person not repeating what they are working through.
