This is a thoughtful month for you, Sagittarius, with an enormous role to be played by important relationships and your communicative outreach in general. Your social networking partakes of an imaginative sense of wonder, while in your articulations you are striving to find the right words to express more subtle and inner-oriented ideas and feelings. You want to make something happen in terms of societal connections, and your creative contribution, although you might not be so sure of exactly what that entails, so that you are feeling your way through. The Leo Full Moon of the 12th, in the middle of the month’s second week, brings up further partnership involvement and also makes for dramatic progress when you might be jarring yourself out of established habitual behaviors that have outlived their practical usefulness, while your creative drive is at a high-water mark. Issues of self-worth or other forms of inner wounding might need to be addressed to get the most out of this high energy timing. The Last Quarter Moon in your sign on the 20th makes for another powerful juncture that illuminates the profound changes in your thought patterns that continuing to take place. You are perhaps only now recognizing the extent that your deepest principles and values are involved in your happiness with your decision process going forward, with partners and with your own personal evolution.

You meet the month in the early days of the Aquarius lunation cycle, lasting all through February, that was seeded at the recent New Moon in your sector of communication and learning, and your intellectual curiosity. A trine from the New Moon to your ruling planet, Jupiter, in your relationship sphere, may bring partners into the picture of your own evolutionary development or inspire meaningful conversations which offers opportunities for growth within your key partnerships. Mercury and Pluto are also in close conjunction in this New Moon, so that conversational exchanges could be transformational in their impact, draw you into uncharted territories, or prompt revelations. Pluto is now firmly positioned in Aquarius, implying that whether through introspection or dialogue, a powerful reframing process directed toward how you think, communicate, and engage with your surroundings. Inner wounding could also arise and present challenges, which can however be worked through with sufficient self-love plus having faith in the cosmos to see you through.
A triple conjunction between Venus, Neptune, and the Lunar North Node in Pisces in this New Moon, perfecting on the 1st, highlights your sector of home, family, and your psychological roots while impacting as well your creative self-expression. The first week of February, beginning on the 3rd, offers partnership sharing and help with your societal connections and your own developmental issues. This is also an uplifting window to enjoy time with close kin or beautify your living space. Last month’s nodal shift into the Pisces-Virgo axis indicates that your domestic realm is the site of a new cycle of where eclipses land. The ongoing conjunction of Neptune and North Node there could amplify feelings of escapism or heighten idealism.
A prolonged square between Chiron in Aries and retrograde Mars in Cancer this month could compel you to address feelings you’ve been avoiding. With Mars retrograde in your sector of transformation and intimacy, dynamics within your close romantic, familial, and economic ties could trigger unresolved pain or security needs that may restrict authentic self-expression or playfulness. Energetic and emotional release may help drain the buildup at your foundations, while rest will recharge you.
On February 3rd, also, Venus enters Aries, helping you unleash your inner child by energizing the fun side of life as she enters your sector of romance, joy, and children. A simultaneous sextile to Pluto in Aquarius empowers your creative instincts, perhaps by bringing awareness to shadows around pleasure or unexpressed desires.
On February 4th, Jupiter at 11° of Gemini stations to direct motion, standing momentarily dead still in the sky as it changes direction. This shift may signal renewed meaning or momentum in both intimate and business partnerships, which will likely draw focus in the days surrounding this event. A grand trine in Air is activated this first week of the month – with Jupiter, your ruler, as it stations in your relationship sector, trine to Mercury in Aquarius, and also the new 21st century KBO planet Makemake at 11° of Libra in your social sector, this is an important juncture when partners join friends and group affiliations that you favor in helping you come to a more complete understanding of the way that important principles and values deep within you have an influence on where your thinking is heading and what your conscious articulations have to offer to others.
On the early morning of the 9th, a Mercury Cazimi in Aquarius further vitalizes your communication and learning processes, perhaps bringing a shift in perspective toward greater clarity – an “ah ha” moment that stimulates deep and honest conversations. The Mercury- Sun conjunction within a degree or so, lasting from the 8th to the 9th, is also an insightful time when mental acuity is favored, and when your inner world is again reflected in your more conscious utterances.
On February 12th, the Leo Full Moon arrives in your sector of higher education, spirituality, travel, beliefs, and worldview, where you may find yourself mounting a new search for meaning. Cooperative challenges or power dynamics within intellectual settings could prompt reflection on how you embody your convictions or consider different viewpoints. The Sun and Moon are also making a T-square to Uranus in Taurus, your sector of daily work and health, so that what may be emphasized in this mid-month timing is the challenge of reconciling big-picture thinking with practical know-how. With Trickster Uranus in this mix, surprises could ensue, along with unexpected intuitive information that could inform you of habitual patterns that might require review or adjustment. Turbulence or unexpected factors related to your health or work could urge you to address your emotional and physical well-being.
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 home and family becomes even more where the action is!
On the 23rd, Mars stations direct in Cancer, which may emphasize friction or difficulties surrounding financial matters and intimate ties or other encounters with crises in the final weeks of February. Forming a trine to Mercury in Pisces as he stations, Mars may provide inner reevaluation or discussions around home, property, and family to guide a shift in momentum. This process could bring greater awareness of what you’re emotionally invested in, enabling a conscious approach in league with intuition to help with unresolved issues. Mars will exit its shadow in May, marking a more favorable time for significant financial, contractual, or collaborative decisions.
On the 24th and 25th, a Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Pisces presents an opportunity to approach domestic and family dynamics constructively. While challenges could be highlighted, engage the mental fortitude that is also on offer to go over the fine print, take in the lessons, and ground future-oriented dreams with a practical plan.
On the 27th, a New Moon in Pisces draws fresh energy into your foundational sector, where property, domestic life, and family set the stage for March. The stellium of planets at the root of your chart amplifies themes of healing, supporting you in releasing emotional burdens tied to your family and heritage. This also highlights the importance of having a sanctuary space to find your solid ground. A square from Sun and Moon to Jupiter could challenge you to address expectations and mutual support within a relationship, while an optimistic sextile between Venus and Jupiter suggests that tackling these tensions could inspire you to explore new ways to collaborate or reignite passion.
