Aquarius Horoscope for February 2023

This is a month of reassessment, Aquarius, as you continue to explore issues of identity and inner principle in the wake of the recent New Moon in your sign. You are also likely feeling a sense of commitment and also limitation with regard to your dwelling space or the dynamic of family interactions; matters there could be coming into greater consciousness. The Full Moon in your opposite sign takes place on Sunday, February 5th. This lunation represents another significant juncture, when unexpected events or surprising revelations are more than possible, in connection with your home and family scene – or potentially with the important relationships in your life. There is perhaps a push-pull of wanting to try new things but of also staying an existing course. Issues could crop up for being dealt with in a way that satisfies also your own need for developmental growth. The subsequent Last Quarter Moon of the 13th emphasizes evolution and learning that includes further deep reflection in connection with your work in the world. You might recognize that you are in a season of growth through internal realizations, and that this could represent one key to your next stage.

As February begins, you are still responding to the potent New Moon at the very beginning of your sign from January 21st, coloring the first three weeks of the current month, you are entering into a brand new cycle with respect to issues of identity, career, and the way that you come across to others. This is partly due to the presence of Saturn, in your sign as well, in close conjunction with Venus in this New Moon configuration. There could also be a sense of commitment therefore in the way that you look to your public statement as representing a good piece of who and what you really are. There are deep principles of right action and right relationship that you hold inside yourself and these are coming more to consciousness as the February month gets underway.

February should also be an integrative month for you, especially for lessons learned since 2020, when Saturn first entered your sign. The planet Saturn in Astrology relates to time and the awareness of time passing, which tends to have the effect of bringing things into focus. What is dysfunctional usually gets highlighted in such a way that it becomes impossible to ignore. During a Saturn transit we are compelled to address whatever behavior or situations which feel unsustainable in our lives, and whether we like it or not, the problems we are faced with tend to stick around until we address them honestly. A Saturn transit eventually brings clarification and wisdom; however, this usually comes after a realistic assessment of the things that need adjustments. The result of this process is extremely clarifying and the work and discipline applied during that period usually bring lasting results. This is the last month for Saturn in Aquarius until 2050 and you should take a moment to acknowledge the alchemical process that occurred in the last two years that brought you greater wisdom and clarity about who you are; it’s a big deal.

From the 3rd through the 5th Venus in Pisces squares Mars in Gemini and the Full Moon in Leo culminates on the 5th also. Your passions might appear more fully out in the open. Your desire for indulgence and pleasure could feel more prominent and your New Year resolutions might get tested.

The Full Moon in Leo takes place on Sunday, February 5th in your partnership sector and brings up issues of self and other and your entire relationship dynamic. There could also be kind of clarification involved. the Full Moon forms a square to Uranus in Taurus which brings an unpredictable element to the mix and yet even this potential tension could help you sort out your priorities. Surprising events an, potentially, realizations are also more than likely with regard to your home and family situation.

The second week of February continues to bring clarification, especially for financial and domestic matters. Things could feel in a state of flux even though you know where the pieces of the puzzle have to go. Being honest with yourself and with others may be an important topic on the 9th through the 11th as Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn. You may have been keeping your thoughts to yourself in an effort to keep the peace but after a long period of reflection and inner contemplation, you may be ready to speak openly and show up more authentically in your life. Mercury entering Aquarius on the 11th could make this task easier and communication should overall feel smoother in the following weeks.

Your ideals and aspirations could come to the forefront as Venus conjoins Neptune in Pisces on the 15th and 16th which may also bring out the more altruistic aspects of your nature. This creative aspect can be inspiring and full of romanticism but requires discrimination at the risk of investing time and energy in hollow fantasies. The Sun meeting Saturn in Aquarius on these same days might contrast this influence nicely, and help you assess things realistically. You could be called to acknowledge your mortal limitations while still keeping faith in your ability to not only bring forth what you need but to also experience the extraordinary in your life. Topics around commitment and boundaries could come up and this could be a significant moment of clarification and integration, especially for what you want and need from your partnerships. You might feel more grounded at this time which in turn could help you define your agreements with others with maturity and pragmatism.

The New Moon in Pisces arrives on the late evening of the 19th, early morning of the 20th, in the sector of your chart that relates to your resources and values. This becomes a significant focus for the remainder of the current month, and beyond, and you will also likely be consulting your unfailing inner wisdom for the full spectrum of how to manage what you need to have on hand to work with. With Venus entering Aries a day later on the 20th this new cycle may emphasize a need to assess daily transactions and spending habits and streamline your routine.

The last days of February could be productive and fast-paced, especially for things related to your immediate environment. You may find yourself busier than usual with communications and errands so prepare your schedule accordingly to give yourself enough time. On the 27th, the First Quarter Moon takes place in Gemini, corresponding to your self-expression sector, and you are seeking a top-to-bottom integration of intuitive connection to what your instincts tell you is right with all that you say and do. Your thoughts should feel clearer than they have been in a while and even though you may have a lot of work on your hands, you could feel a certain level of mastery coming through at this time.
