Your February Horoscope Is Here
February’s energy brings us more chill moments than any other month in the past year. As long as we think about growth and transformation, we can use the energy to our advantage. Venus enters Aquarius on February 1, giving us all a cool and aloof attachment to romance and finances. The Aquarius new moon that occurs on February 11 heightens the already big airy energy (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be in Aquarius on the 11th). This will be a celebration of progress, freedom, originality, community, and humanitarianism. Austere Saturn and revolutionary Uranus, who’s in Taurus, square off on February 17. This is the first of three connections that these planets will make in 2021. (The other two will occur on June 14 and December 24.) During each square, old structures will crumble, liberty will prevail, and changes will become apparent. The Sun enters mystical Pisces on February 18, heightening our intuition over the next month. Mercury’s first retrograde of the year began in Aquarius on January 30, and it ends on February 20 or 21 (depending on the country you reside in). Until March 13, however, we’ll be entering the retroshade zone. There will still be mishaps and misunderstandings, as the Planet of Communication retraces the steps it took during its retrograde transit. Tender Venus enters its favorite sign, Pisces, on February 25. Our hearts and wallets will feel a strong urge to help others in need. Feelings will run deep, allowing us to merge with others. The month ends with the Full Snow Moon in Virgo on February 27, which will help us analyze and reflect on our desires. We’ll be able to make strides towards what we want, once we get our ducks in a row. AriesMarch 21 to April 19Watch your spending this month, Aries. As soon as your paycheck rolls in mid-month, you may be tempted to purchase an extravagant gift for yourself. Yes, you do deserve nice items. However, it’s not the time to make big purchases, especially not on February 17, when Saturn and Uranus square off. Your urge to live big is influenced by the competitive need to stay on par with your friends. You don’t have to keep up with your squad to prove your worth. If you continue to, then you’ll certainly feel the financial burns and setbacks that it brings to you. As February ends, you’ll be secretly planning your new financial moves, which includes a savings plan. Before going all-in on February 25, take a moment to assess if it will work for your spendthrift habits. During the full moon on February 27, you’ll make a more realistic plan for yourself. TaurusApril 20 to May 20It’s time for you to get your hustle on, Taurus! Work is at the forefront of your mind this month. From the first day of February and onwards, you’ll be focusing solely on elevating your brand and networking. The new moon on February 11 brings a lucrative business opportunity that takes you to the next professional level, and February 17 brings a peculiar business partnership your way. It’s a surprising alliance that will help you gain the esteem and notoriety you crave. After working hard all month, it’s important that you play hard during the full moon on February 27. Have a happy hour Zoom party with friends and colleagues to blow off some steam. You should also treat yourself to a day of self-care or a cuddle sesh with your boo. Take a hot, relaxing bath and veg out in front of the TV to decompress. You’ve certainly earned it!GeminiMay 21 to June 20Committing to one point of view is challenging to do, particularly due to your Mercurial mindset, Gemini. This month, you’ll be cosmically pushed to evaluate information by embracing your higher mind. This tactic will be helpful during Mercury’s backwards spin (which occurs throughout the month, until the 20th or 21st), Venus’ ingress into Aquarius on February 1, and the New Moon on the 11. The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn will all be in Aquarius until some planetary changes on the 18th, and all of that major airy energy will force us to rethink the way we handle conflict, commit, and communicate. It’ll even allow us to embrace a new philosophy and vibe, which will be helpful with business affairs on February 18 (when the Sun enters Pisces) and personal matters on February 27 (during the Virgo full moon). You will leave February with a whole new view and sense of being.CancerJune 21 to July 22Creating boundaries with your peers is more important than ever, Cancer. Your desire to connect with your colleagues is strong, especially during the new moon on February 11. Almost a week later, an argument may ensue with them on the 17th, when they find out that you’re on a different pay scale as them (or vice versa). The fraught cosmic energy will create a lot of friction and change the dynamic at work. The good news is that when Mercury ends its planetary moonwalk on the 20th or 21st (depending on your location), everyone will be able to put their resentments or frustrations behind them and move on. Jealousies will be squashed the moment Venus enters Pisces on February 25, as you’ll start to harmoniously work with your team again. Be careful to not bring up the recent dramz during the full moon on the 27th in an effort to avoid a replay of the past weeks.LeoJuly 23 to August 22The drama never seems to stop when you’re around, Leo. And, well, the month ahead isn’t any different from the intensity of last month. TBH, it’s a bit more ferocious. Mercury’s backspin (which ends on the 20th or 21st, depending on your location), combined with Venus’s ingress into Aquarius on February 1, and the new moon on the 11th add a lot of energy to the relationship sector of your chart. Add on the Saturn and Uranus square on the 17th and your life will be lit. You’re wanting to make changes within partnerships (to coincide with your work schedule), which may not bode well with bae. No one likes to feel as though they’re second fiddle, especially to their partner’s career goals. When the Sun and Venus swim into Pisces on the 18th and 25th, you’ll have an intimate heart-to-heart with your boo and they’ll come to understand that they’re a priority to you, too.VirgoAugust 23 to September 22The things we do for love never cease to amaze us — even if we are doing it to impress someone special and to better ourselves in the process. This month, you are proving your worth to your boo by stepping up your work game. Although it may be a temporary sentiment fueled by Mercury retrograde (which turns direct on the 20th or 21st of the month, depending on your location) and the new moon on the 11th, you’ll still want to show off your skill sets. The objective is to win their heart and affection on the 18th (when the Sun enters Pisces) and the 25th (when Venus moves into Pisces, which is its favorite sign to be in). The caveat is that your true colors and intentions will come to light on the 27th during the full moon. Therefore, it’s important to not hide all of yourself from your crush, as they’ll see the “real” you then. LibraSeptember 23 to October 22While you’re often cool, calm, and collected when it comes to your favorite sentiment — love — you’re finding that you are becoming super-cheesy in the romance department, Libra. This is due to all of the Aquarian energy circulating the romantic sector of your chart. Starting on February 1, you’ll begin to swoon hard over your boo or crush. Perhaps there will be a commitment ceremony of sorts on February 11? The new moon on the 11th guarantees a deepening of affections in your budding relationship. The caveat is that you will have to learn how to love with boundaries on February 17. Not overstepping and controlling your partner’s emotions will be hard, especially when you think you’re right and they’re wrong. Love isn’t always heart eye emojis and butterflies — but you will work out matters ASAP, and come to an understanding of each other’s needs.ScorpioOctober 23 to November 21Home is where your heart is this month, Scorpio. Chilling in your personal space may make you want to redecorate. Before you buy high-price items for your home, however, take a moment and reflect upon whether or not it’s the best time to make the investment. This month, remind yourself to start with small steps: Instead of painting the walls of your home yellow on February 1 when Venus enters Aquarius, for instance, try adding a few throw pillows in the same color Sticking to little tweaks will be helpful on February 17, when your living situation could change: You may gain a new roommate or pet. But you’ll feel extra cozy in your dwelling again when Venus enters Pisces on February 25. SagittariusNovember 22 to December 21Real talk: You can be blunt and direct at times. This can ruffle a few feathers with your loved ones, as they never know whether you’ll be nice or straight-up truthful. After hearing feedback on your communication style from others, you are opting to change the way that you express yourself. Starting on February 1, you’ll take a new approach and use tender sentiments when speaking. February 11 can challenge you, as the new moon will make you want to argue your points, rather than accept the perspectives of others. You could even get a bit fanatical on February 17, when colleagues and work matters get under your skin. The following day, you’ll be more willing to make major shifts in how you handle matters. This will prove super-helpful to your career during the full moon on February 27. Your boss will give you a compliment about being a charismatic and positive wordsmith.CapricornDecember 22 to January 19Money has been a stressful element in your life over the last few months. However, your financial situation is starting to look up. You may receive dividends from a lucrative financial investment on February 1, when Venus enters Aquarius. Once the new moon rolls around on February 11, your bank account will heighten and feel lush. The caveat is that you may be tempted to treat yourself to expensive items (like clothes) and foods (like Wagyu beef and Champagne) once the money hits your bank account. Instead of spoiling yourself and those you love with lavish presents, though, invest in your future. Use some of that cash to take an online class or put it toward your business on February 17. You’ll be grateful that you chose this avenue during the full moon on February 27. The greatest risk of all is the one you’re taking on yourself this month, Capricorn.AquariusJanuary 20 to February 18Your energy has been high and low for some time, Aquarius. Finally, you’re beginning to feel as though you can ride the waves of your emotions. When Venus aligns with your Sun on February 1, there will be a shift for the better. Everything will start to come up roses in your world, especially during the new moon on February 11 (which also links up with your Sun). This will be a time of personal growth for you. The only thing is that you have to welcome change. If you don’t, then the Saturn and Uranus square on February 17 will be intense and rock you to the core. But, if you allow it to be a time of rebirth, then you can flourish. Think of it as your personal Renaissance. This vibe will usher you towards confidence assurance, and power when Pisces Season starts on February 18. You got this!PiscesFebruary 19 to March 20It’s proving to be a great winter in hibernation for you, Pisces. While others are being social, you’re choosing to rest your bones and energy. And, you wouldn’t have it any other way. As February begins, your focus is on R & R and healing activities. A gentle yoga class online or downloading a meditation app will help reduce stresses during the new moon on February 11. Keep a dream journal by your bed on February 17, as your visions can come to fruition then. Your dreams will help you manifest your goals for the next month. Use your journal as a guidebook to get you through your solar return, which starts on February 18. Your confidence will radiate and a romance could blossom when Venus aligns with your Sun on February 25, in time for the Virgo full moon which pushes you to focus on love and partnerships.Like what you see?
