This is a powerful month for you, Leo, in one way all about relationship transformation. In another way, it is your own personal development that is on the line. This includes how that involves your work in the outer world and within yourself, operating in tandem. The recent Aquarius New Moon in your opposite sign featured Pluto and Mercury there, in conjunction, so that your mental powers are very focused this month on key partnerships, existing or potentially emerging, and their evolution. Your career and professional life is also undergoing sudden changes – with intuitional choices being made almost without your conscious participation, while your social life in terms of friends and groups, and also the recognition of your overall societal impact, is blossoming and affected by important partners. There is an activist spirit emerging out of all this as well, an urge to concretely do something to advance your nascent principles and ideals. The week of February 3rd brings a spiritual thought process into play, coloring your deeper reflections regarding your vocation. You are also potentially attempting to better understand the impact of existing inner wounding on your life. The Full Moon in your sign on the 12th marks another quite significant juncture, bringing issues of self and other into a kind of culmination in the midst of further career revelations.

You enter February in the early days of the lunation cycle associated with the recent Aquarius New Moon, so that the coming month highlights your sector of one-on-one partnerships. Your networks and friendships are also enlivened this month, because the Sun and Moon form a productive trine to Jupiter in Gemini, or your sector of community and long-term goals. While it could be a very social lunation cycle, Mercury conjoins Pluto in Aquarius, suggesting deliberations within or about relationships have gravitas. You could find yourself speaking your truth somewhat strongly in celebration of your passion when your deepest principles are aroused. Wherever you’re facing a cooperative challenge, or the positive pressure of a new milestone, what’s emerging is likely connected to Pluto’s transformational spirit. This is fresh now and will eventually settle into a longer lasting metamorphosis; having made its final ingress into Aquarius, the Lord of Death and Rebirth of will spend the next 20 years working away on you through the realms of close partnership and your relationship dynamic.
A triple conjunction between Venus, Neptune, and the Lunar North Node in Pisces also graces the New Moon, perfecting on February 1st in your sphere of shared resources, personal transformation, and intimacy. This may draw you deeper into the emotional and material aspects of your enmeshments. Neptune’s boundary-dissolving action may emphasize the romantic and soulful side of life, especially over the first three days of the month. The recent nodal shift into the Virgo-Pisces axis indicates eclipses this year will initiate a new cycle of development centered on your inner growth and the way you collaborate and merge with others.
A prolonged square between Mars retrograde in Cancer, your sector of unconscious process, and Chiron in Aries lasts throughout the month as Mars stations, and indicates that overly rational approaches could be outshone by the emotional elephant in the room. Your worldview might be subject to thoughts of not-good-enough stemming from internal wounding which offers you the opportunity for acceptance of these darker places within you and eventual healing. With Mars retrograde in your subconscious sphere and Chiron in your sector of higher mind, scenarios may inflame deep-seated vulnerabilities that have influenced your beliefs, educational path, or sense of belonging.
On February 3rd, Venus enters Aries, which sign is, again, your sphere of beliefs, higher education, and also travel. Her ingress there may bring levity to emotional heaviness by encouraging you to engage in what’s stimulating your adventurous curiosity. Empowered by a sextile to Pluto, relationship dynamics may call for you to center in your guiding principles and let others come to their own conclusions.
On February 4th, Jupiter stations to direct motion, completing its four-month-long retrograde in Gemini. This may herald an uplifting shift in community spirit, friendships, and future oriented considerations, which could draw focus in the surrounding days. Forming a trine to Mercury in your partnership sector as it stations, this week is a constructive time to reach out for advice or engage in dialogue to try to get things moving forward.
A Mercury Cazimi takes place in Aquarius on the morning of February 9th. The planet of communication connecting with your ruler, the Sun, over these two days of the 8th and the 9th especially could motivate frank honesty or bring greater awareness to where you’re at or what you want in a partnership — you will just want to be mindful of getting over-identified with your own perspective or that of a trusted partner. Taking place alongside the trine between Mars in Cancer and Saturn in Pisces, this may involve consciously approaching resentments and reassessing your obligations to others.
The Full Moon in your sign arrives on February 12th, illuminating your personal goals, identity, and physical constitution. Forming a tense T-square to Uranus in Taurus at the top of your chart, corresponding to your vocational sector, there could be surprises there, or unexpected intuitive revelations. Issues of self and other, your felt experience of pressure and change within your relationships and affecting, as well, your career and your sense of identity would all be highlighted in this Full Moon. While you may have heightened sensitivity to how you are seen in the world or the value of your contributions, the function of Uranus is to liberate, so that instability in some factor of your professional life could be the prelude for a new calling. The Promethean planet also invites a freeing “might as well be myself” attitude, which has the upside of letting your creative authenticity shine. This Full Moon validates your needs for joy, passion, and vitality, and could highlight where they were absent. With Mars additionally at nearly a standstill in Cancer, and in trine aspect to constricting Saturn, taking some time out along the way to rest and process could be essential.
Mercury joins the buildup of planets in Pisces on February 14th, followed by the Sun on the 18th as you enter Pisces season. Your sector of intimacy, inner transformation, joint enterprise, and partnership agreements are areas where the action is.
On February 23rd, Mars stations direct in Cancer. The days surrounding this station could heighten feelings of disconnection, health challenges, or other undermining influences. When faced with anger, you benefit by trying to respond with reflection — a step backward –- giving yourself time for pent-up emotions and energy to dissipate, which could prevent unnecessary drama. Mars shares a watery secret with Mercury in Pisces as it stations, perhaps offering deeper understanding of hidden factors influencing financial and intimate dynamics, including your approach to self-assertion and cooperation. Mars will not reenter your sign until April 18, and will slowly regain momentum in your sector of unconscious process.
On February 24th and 25th, a Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Pisces offers practical minded discipline for looking at the finer print, including budgeting or contractual considerations. Neptune's ongoing conjunction with the Lunar North Node in Pisces this month could emphasize blurred boundaries and ambiguities in your close alliances. You might want to engage this transit to get clear about what you are committing to and why.
On the 27th, the New Moon in Pisces brings fresh energy to your sector of intimacy and personal transformation, related as well to inheritance, partnership agreements, and psychological processes. These are thus the grounds from which the story of March will develop. The Sun and Moon are additionally forming a square to Jupiter, the traditional ruler of the New Moon, calling for your analytical and intuitive intelligence to discern the cooperative efforts and connections you want to promote versus those you may have outgrown. Evoking your flexibility and out-reach to important others could broaden your concept of the future and connect you with supportive allies.
