Aries Horoscope for February 2017

This is a month of further adventures in transformation for you, Aries. You have the highlighted presence of Saturn, Uranus and Pluto in key sectors of your chart to indicate that major structural change is still an enormous factor as 2017 continues to unfold. You are also in the process of redefining yourself somewhat over the course of another very interesting and intense month. You find that your belief in yourself is powerful, and becomes even stronger the more you consult inner guidance for what it is that you truly want, deep inside, in allowing your private inner life to unfold just as it should. As a consequence, your activities out in the world will follow suit. Whatever you sincerely promote this month as possible future self is quite likely to come true for you, so that you benefit when you make sure to think carefully, and choose wisely.

The following was written by this month's guest columnist Maria DeSimone of Insightful Astrology:

February holds extraordinary potential for you to reveal the very best of your dynamism. You may feel more alive this month thanks to a confluence of planetary energies in your sign. Mars, your ruler, moved into Aries on January 28 and this month, on February 3 Venus will also enter Aries. As a result, you’ll likely feel a surge of confidence, motivation and ground-breaking spirit to help you move forward with the significant personal aspiration you initiated after the New Moon of January 27. That lunation landed in the area of your chart connected to your greatest hopes. As a result, during the first days of February you’ll enjoy the envious combination of dreaming big combined with the gumption and stamina to ensure the rubber meets the road. Translation? Your dream can actually manifest.

Romantic and creative fulfillment is also on the agenda. A stunning Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on February 10 in Leo will illuminate the area of your chart ruling matters of the heart. A new level of personal awareness concerning your love life is possible, and if you are dating someone you might take a leap of faith and make a stronger commitment to one another. The Sun, ruler of this Eclipse will be applying to trine expansive Jupiter, now in your partnership sector. The Sun will also be at a friendly sextile to Uranus, now in your sign. This fortifies the joy behind this union but also corroborates your feeling of being awakened as a result of personal relationship. Alternatively, you might experience this fulfillment connected to the release of a creative project you and a partner have worked on together. If you have any children, expect a happy surprise connected to one of them. You may even learn that you and your partner are expecting a baby during this powerful Eclipse.

As the month progresses you may have a rough patch from February 22-26. On the 22nd Mars will square off with Pluto and then on the 26th Mars and Uranus collide. This is erratic, volatile energy that may prompt you to behave in a rash manner. You may not see it as reckless however since you’ll likely justify your actions based on the massive need to express your individuality at this time. Recognize that you may come on too strong at month’s end and if you don’t consciously hold back some of your power it may end up scorching you or someone else. Also on the 26th – a New Moon Solar Eclipse will occur in Pisces, heightening your spiritual awareness and compassion. Giving yourself a mystical “time-out” would be the perfect way to wrap up what’s sure to be a frenetic month.
