This is a big month for you, Aquarius, with the recent New Moon in your sign, and with also the Leo Full Moon on February 12th making a close T-square to your ruler, Uranus, in your fourth house of home and family. The areas of identity, familial concerns, and root psychological issues are fully up for you along with worldview and your creative self-expression. You are, in many ways, being asked to redefine yourself with transformational Pluto located in the early degrees of your sign, plus being conjunct to Mercury in the New Moon configuration that governs the current lunation cycle lasting through almost all of February. The first week of the month, beginning on February 3rd, and punctuated by the First Quarter Moon on February 5th, is monumental, with a tight grand trine emphasizing your communicative outreach, curiosity, beliefs, and worldview. There is an emphasis on moral principle and connection to natural law that arises within you from deep internal values. The Full Moon comes along a week later and speaks to issues of self and other, along with the inner focus that characterizes your current arc of development. There is some tension in this mix, through to the end of the month, as well as a determination to articulate everything that you hold inside, including the way that your own unique values influence your vocational choices and aspirations.

You enter February in the days following a powerful Aquarian New Moon, which seeded the thirty-day cycle for the coming month in your sign, reflecting your sector of character, identity, and physical constitution. With Pluto now firmly settled into your sign for the next 20 years, it’s determined to get your attention this month — a conjunction between Pluto with Mercury suggests that what’s gripping your mind offers clues to a comprehensive process of transformation now underway in your perspective, self-image, and life path. A trine from the New Moon to Jupiter in Gemini and to the new 21st century Nature planet Makemake, speaks to evolutionary strides that take your understanding and ideas further toward taking a stand for bottom line principles in which you most deeply believe, as well as providing a channel employing your mental energy toward the fulfillment and joy of hobbies, creative projects, romances, or any children in your life.
A triple conjunction in this New Moon between Venus, Neptune, and the Lunar North Node in Pisces, perfecting on February 1st, also shapes this entire cycle, highlighting your relationship to material resources, income, and self-worth. You could feel inspired by new ways to harness your resources and skills that align with your values or creative fulfillment.

With the Lunar Nodes shifting this year into the Virgo-Pisces axis, your financial sector is also the site of a new chapter of eclipse-related developments still to come.
On February 3rd, Venus enters Aries, directing your charm and enthusiasm toward your mental activities, local interactions, and sibling relationships. Venus additionally connects to Pluto by sextile, suggesting that regeneration in your creative identity could energize a communication-related project or stimulate passionate conversations.
A square between Mars in Cancer and Chiron in Aries from the 3rd to the 6th could introduce challenging dynamics to your daily exchanges. With Mars retrograde in your sector of day-to-day accomplishment, you may feel defensive as work or wellness issues trigger vulnerabilities around mental health, self-assertion, or intellectual independence. You might want to engage Mars’ inward journey to sever old narratives — stepping back when triggered in conversations to address underlying emotions will help you to more safely express your perspectives satisfying underlying convictions.
On February 4th, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini in your sector of self-expression and children. This shift may signal a resurgence of inspiration and enthusiasm in your creative passions, romances, and leisure pursuits, which could take center stage.

On the morning of the 9th, a Mercury- Sun Cazimi could bring a flash of insight or clarity regarding your sense of purpose, identity, or appearance. The wider conjunction of Mercury to the Sun from the 8th to the 9th represents a thoughtful time of applying mentation to your ongoing personal transformation and also forms an applying square with Uranus in Taurus indicating surprise events or revelations that might culminate with the mid-week Leo Full Moon, suggesting foundational changes that could drive shifts in your outlook.
On February 12th, the Leo Full Moon lights up your axis of self and other, drawing attention to personal changes affecting your relationships. Your partner's needs could take center stage, perhaps inspiring you to nurture the playful and heartfelt aspects of your connection or explore new ways of relating.

Surprises could again be in store, along with intuitive information that helps you to see familial dynamics in a new light.

On February 24th and 25th, a Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Pisces offers focused discipline to get your financial ducks in a row. While Saturn can emphasize pessimism, it’s an ideal time to strategize for the future and address resource-related ambiguities that were perhaps exacerbated by the Neptune-North Node conjunction this month.
