February begins in the early days of the lunation cycle precipitated by the recent Aquarius New Moon, thus seeded in your significant sphere of resources, values, finances and talents. A Mercury-Pluto conjunction is highlighted in this New Moon, so that there is a transformational element to this area, also linked to your day-to-day habitual patterns as well as your beliefs and worldview. Your financial considerations may be intensified this month, and you could be giving serious thought to future stability or discovering new ways to harness your resources and skills. Inner wounding could also come up, as applying to familial dynamics, relationships, or perhaps your family of origin. With Pluto having now departed your sign, significant personal changes within you may involve a new blueprint that deepens your sense of abundance and self-worth. A trine from the New Moon to Jupiter in Gemini is actually a grand trine when you consider the new 21st century Nature planet Makemake, located in your sector of career and professional life, which area therefore receives further emphasis related to finding your own inner principles of truth to articulate and espouse as part of your public statement.
A triple conjunction also found in the New Moon, between Venus, Neptune, and the Lunar North Node in Pisces, perfecting on the 1st, underscores the necessity of both emotional and rational intelligence this month. Taking place in your sector of the mind and local environment, curiosity and learning, a rose-colored lens may frame your vision over the first week of February, welcoming heartfelt conversations, creative self-expression, and romantic excursions. The recent nodal shift into the Virgo-Pisces axis indicates your communication sector is the future site of a significant new cycle of eclipse-related developments, so that it’s worth paying attention to intuitive downloads coming through; journaling might be one way to take advantage of this.
On February 3rd, Venus enters Aries or your sector of home and family. Your domestic relationships could become an even more significant focus, or your enthusiasm could be directed toward enjoyment and aesthetic improvements within your living space.
A prolonged square between Chiron in Aries and Mars retrograde in Cancer this month may also highlight the importance of cultivating personal space at home. With Mars retrograde in your sector of one-on-one partnerships, challenging relational dynamics could activate unresolved foundational wounds, potentially unsettling your sense of stability. Mars’ inward process supports energy redirection through establishing healthy boundaries, helping you stay grounded in your own purpose and needs while fostering your close familial connections.
On February 4th, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini. Your health, daily work, and habits, plus resources along with career considerations, could be highlighted in the first week of February — including where you’ve been overdoing it. This shift signals there’s a change in the air, perhaps bringing a more positive, "whistle while you work" attitude to your daily routines or opportunities for growth that tie into developments in your financial sector.
On the early morning of the 9th, a Mercury Cazimi in Aquarius could spark innovative ideas or news regarding your resources or skillset. Over the time period of the 8th and the 9th there is still Mercury- Sun and without however the special magic of the extremely close orb of the Cazimi. A simultaneous trine between your ruling planet, Saturn, and Mars in Cancer suggests collaborative goals could drive this strategizing.
The Leo Full Moon on February 12th, lighting up your sphere of shared resources, personal transformation, and intimacy. Innovative information and collaborative sharing are even more important factors now. Questions of reciprocity or cooperative challenges could be highlighted within contractual or intimate dynamics. With Sun and Moon forming a tense T-square to Uranus in Taurus, shifting sands within your sector of creativity, romance, and children could be a focal point for emotionally charged exchanges or create enough pressure to shift a long-standing pattern. There could be surprises, or surprising realizations. This Full Moon encourages you to recognize your emotional well-being and happiness as essential components of your commitments — calling for your courage to express your feelings and desires. When things might feel the most urgent, you might try unplugging to process and reconnect with what inspires you and grounds you as that could be of great value to you this month.
Mercury enters Pisces on the 14th, closely followed by the Sun on the 18th, as we enter Pisces season, the sign where a buildup of planets puts the spotlight on your mental processes, sibling relationships, and learning pursuits.
On February 23rd, Mars stations direct in Cancer, where it has been conducting a review of your one-on-one relationships since January. With Mars grinding to a halt in the second half of the month, brewing tensions or unresolved issues may come to a head, pushing you to address something you might have been avoiding. With Mars forming a trine to Mercury in Pisces as it stations, a deeper and more conscious understanding of the patterns at play and where you’re at emotionally may help clarify your thoughts, encouraging constructive action through open, empathetic communication.
On February 24th and 25th, a Mercury-Saturn conjunction takes place in Pisces. Learning or communication-related projects may call for your sustained focus or problem-solving abilities. Their separating trine to Mars could encourage future-focused conversations that realign shared goals or bring closure to what has run its course.
On the 27th, the Pisces New Moon brings fresh energy into your sector of the communication, curiosity, learning, and local interactions, lasting through March, encouraging you to tap into your creative and intuitive reservoirs to expand your vision. A square to Jupiter, ruler of this New Moon, emphasizes the logical demands of your daily work, challenging you to honor your inner voice and what’s inspiring you alongside your responsibilities. An extended conjunction with the North Node is still active so next month may also have the factor of amplifying your sensitivity to the effects of your interactions with information and technology. Reshaping outdated patterns and exploring more fulfilling ways to engage with knowledge remain on your horizon.
