What’s happening this month...
There is no doubt about it being Aquarius season this month! Futuristic talks about aliens and out-of-this-world technology are the embodiment of Aquarius energy. As a social sign (air element), our collective thoughts are tuning into the awareness of where our future is moving towards. We are certainly entering a new era of air themes relating to communication and community.
The big news of this month is that there will be at least 6 planets (that includes the Sun and the Moon) in Aquarius, specifically on February 11. It is very rare that more than 3 planets share space within the same zodiac sign, let alone 6! Let’s take a look at the very beginning of this colossal lineup. Venus joins the Aquarius party on February 1st, with the Sun (life!), Saturn (serious lessons), Jupiter (growth), and Mercury (let’s talk!). Venus being about love, aesthetics, and ideals, influences our already growing perception of how humans treat each other, our connection and our separation. I’ll say it until my face is blue, we are becoming more aware of humanitarian efforts (or lack of).
The New Moon of this month is extra potent with possibilities and hope. This is a time to reset your values, attachment, and the idea of what community and friendship are supposed to feel like. The month also kicks off with Mercury Retrograde until February 20th. Communication will be more chaotic than normal this month because not only is the pull-back happening with communication/travel, Mercury is saying hello again to all of the planets that are still working their way through Aquarius. What that means, you will be revisiting similar themes from that of early to the end of January. That conversation you thought you swerved is actually resurfacing again, pay close attention to the details and remarks made. Second chances are another opportunity to clean up any sloppy work!
In the second half of the month, the Sun and Venus enter ‘go-with-the-flow’ Pisces, making life just a little sweeter. Venus is the happiest when she is in Pisces because this archetype is about diffusing all boundaries and living in unison between the light and dark sides of life. So the last few days of the month are set up for pleasing love and warm feelings.
The month ends with a Full Moon in Virgo on February 27. Your inner analytical self is poking its way in through this Pisces season, advising you to get your routine in order and schedule appointments. We are ending the 2020/2021 zodiac cycle and this lunation is about taking the valuable insights you gained from the cycle (boy, I bet there is a lot!) and release the gunk that doesn’t matter.
Read below for your February horoscope. I suggest reading your rising sign for the most accurate horoscope. If you do not know your rising sign, then check what your Sun sign says :)
Aries:
Friends, community, supporters, they’re all paying attention to you! You may not even have to try, and normally this would be something you are accustomed to- effortlessly getting all the attention. But there is work to be done this month. Just because the friendly vibes come easy to you, doesn’t mean they will stay with no effort on your part. Take this time to learn how to establish connections and then nurture them. The New Moon on February 11th will culminate all the wonders and curiosities you have about caring for something bigger than yourself (humbly saying so). Thrive in it this month because when the Sun and Venus shift out of Aquarius and enter Pisces, you will feel more inclined to hide within and rest before your birthday season comes around. There is still a lot of time left before that comes, but at least you will engage with your homies before peacing out to reflect inwards.
The Full Moon in Virgo at the end of the month (2/27) will highlight all of your habits - good and not-so-good. What this does every year, before your birthday season, is that it shows you where you’ve become complacent and where you can reorganize yourself. Take the time to do that now so that when Aries season arrives, it’s “go” time!
Taurus:
This is usually the time of year where your hustle kicks up an extra notch. This month in particular you are feeling so charged and ready to tackle your career goals left and right! Be mindful of your pace, as you will generally have the charge in this area of your life now that Saturn is transiting Aquarius until 2023. You are committed to humanity through your leadership skills, and although you are not always the leader you idealize yourself to be, you never give up. Connecting with people is one of your angles to self-identity! The New Moon on February 11th will be the time to set the table clear for where you want your career to go. This is a tiny seed that you are planting very deep in the dark soil. “So let us not be like little children who sow a seed today and dig it up tomorrow to see how much the root went down,” - from a fascinating book called the yoga sutras.
The Full Moon on February 27th is shining light on your sister sign Virgo, illuminating your house of intimacy and creativity. For your lovely sign, it is possible that the Valentine’s Day vibe is a little delayed or perhaps prolonged until the end of the month. Either way, you are tuning into the emotional drive behind your creativity. Tap into the flow and let it steer your desires this day.
Gemini:
Education is your jam and your peers know how to get you far in the game of knowledge by connecting you to sources you weren’t aware of. This month is all about expanding your mind and maybe even your spirituality. The universe is speaking loud and clear to you, signaling that everything you worked so hard for led to this very moment. The network you’ve had to jump through hoops with is now becoming very clear and will continue to unveil its possibilities for the next 3 years. This month is potent for learning and understanding knowledge. Reach within for the inner student and communicate your goals on February 11th when the New Moon is in Aquarius.
At the end of the month (2/27) there will be a Full Moon in Virgo lighting up the area of your life surrounding the home, ancestors, and your recovery. This lunation is the time to get systematic about your work and recovery dynamic. More particularly it’s the time to focus on family.
Cancer:
Getting grounded is usually not your forte since you are the zodiac sign associated with the arrival of Summer! When Aquarius season comes around, you are invited to dive into your intimate relationships and merge with another. This month, in particular, you may join forces strongly with another. Don’t let fear into your heart as you stay anchored to the blossoming of a beautiful relationship (new or already existing). The New Moon on February 11th arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day, making intimacy exciting and new!
The Full Moon in Virgo on February 27th is lighting up the part of your chart relating to learning, siblings, and close friends. You spend a lot of mental energy in these areas of your life and this lunation is drawn to highlight the communication you share amongst these people as well as the knowledge you dump in your brain. If it’s time to clean house, then this lunation is the supporting time to do so.
Leo:
Romance, life-partners, and business partners are all at the forefront of your life dear Leo. It is no longer about you, it’s about you and another person! So much is going down between you and a significant other, that it’s actually the time to learn how to think of “me” as “us” without sacrificing your individuality. The New Moon in Aquarius is the time to plant seeds for how you want your partnership to grow and mature. With the influence of the Sun, Moon, Saturn (responsibility), Jupiter (evolution), Venus (love), and Mercury (communication), you are very much inclined to set goals pertaining to all of those planetary themes.
The Full Moon in Virgo on February 27th is lighting up the area of your life regarding finances and possessions. This lunation is about checking in on your progress and releasing what you no longer need to achieve your goal. Your relation to investments has largely shifted in the last 6 months, let alone the last year. So keep sifting through your items and donate what is no longer useful to you.
Virgo:
Health work is easier and more enjoyable for you if you are working with a team, such as dancing the stress away at your favorite Zumba class! You feel better when you have a support system that nurtures not only your mind but your body. This month you will lean on your workout buddies or colleagues. Just remember that teamwork makes the dream work, as cliche as that sounds! Keep in mind that boundaries are essential for you and others when you rely on their support. Remember to draw yourself back to the ego-less part of your being and trust that your supporters are more like crossing-guards who will stop traffic to let you cross. If the picture isn’t clear enough, then you will certainly become aware of the image I’m drawing as you move through the moon cycle on February 11th. This New Moon is about setting those boundaries or at least becoming aware of where you need to draw the line between you & your health as well as you & your relationship with co-workers.
The Full Moon is in your very own stars this month on February 27th. This lunation will bring your mind’s attention to the growth you’ve encompassed in the last 6 months since the New Moon in September. If you are satisfied with the progress made thus far, then keep marching on Virgo! On the other hand, if you see potential in areas that could use some edits and readjustments, then this lunation should assist you with making that very clear to yourself.
Libra:
Let yourself have fun this month! As a matter of fact, let yourself explore the inner child within you for the next three years. This month, in particular, is about connecting to the world within you that knows no boundaries, like a kid. You may have been the serious one of the whole family but the stars are asking you to let loose for once! The New Moon on February 11th is a blank slate opportunity to regain or at least redesign your performance, self-expression, and creativity. Because this is all happening under the Aquarius stars, then your community plays a big role in the way you express yourself. Life is better when you’re sharing it with those you love!
The Full Moon on February 27th in Virgo will be the Full Moon to shed the layer of persona you once were. After tapping into your inner child during the New Moon on the 11th, you may notice there was a part of you that needed some TLC. To make space for new, you must release the old.
Scorpio:
The vibes at home are put on the spot this month. Nationwide, everyone has been at home more than usual, this past year, but for your private and emotional sign, this has become an oasis. This month you may feel drawn to return to house projects that were left on the wayside. Growing up, you may have been seen as the black sheep of the family, making it challenging to be yourself amongst your closest people. This month, and for the next 3 years, you will be motivated to create the environment you’ve always dreamed of retreating to, home, as they call it. The New Moon on February 11th will be the day of inspiration, so hit up your favorite Pinterest boards and DIY Youtube channels for brainstorm ideas.
The Full Moon in Virgo on February 27th is lighting up your friendships and supporters. If “community” wasn’t already obvious during this month, then you will for sure get the illumination you need to see who your friends really are.
Sagittarius:
There is so much to learn, no matter how experienced or how many degrees and certificates you may hold. We are forever a student in the school of life! To shortcut the long list of lessons the universe has set for humans to test through, you can learn about how other people (siblings and friends), have made mistakes and recovered from those errors. Keep an open mind Sagittarius, because life is too short to make all the mistakes yourself. The New Moon on February 11th will be the time to become aware of that as the seed for manifestation in regards to “learning” is extremely fertile.
The Full Moon in Virgo on February 27th is highlighting your detail-oriented work motivation. This is usually inspired by the energy of living blissfully at home, and in your world to do that, you must hustle at something that you truly care to invest your mind into.
Capricorn:
People bring so much value into your life Capricorn. You may have the experience of getting jobs through word of mouth or perhaps you work largely with groups of individuals. Whatever the case is, you are becoming more aware that people can share a common goal with you. The New Moon in Aquarius on the 11th will be a time to check in with your network and establish a team effort. There is a quote that I want to leave with you and that should embody the entire theme and lessons you will come across this month. “You want to go fast, go at it alone. You want to go far, go at it together.”
The Full Moon at the end of the month on February 27th is about expanding upon your faith and knowledge. Dive into the topics that interest your intellectual mind and allow yourself the time to grow further into the information that will take you far.
Aquarius:
Happy birthday Aquarius!! Wow, this year is HUGE for you in so many ways. You are growing and leveling up as a person - mind/body/and soul. This month is all about basking in the limelight and connecting to your support system. Not only is this month key to your personal growth, but you have Saturn (maturity) in your sign for the next 3 years, but it is also about letting the world see your magic. You are a visionary individual that may not always get the credit you deserve. However now people can’t seem to get enough of your peculiar vibes. This Saturn cycle may not always be easy, but the growth will be worth it in the long run. The New Moon in your sign on February 11th is the reset button you’ve been looking for. Go ahead and confidently press that button with the intention of accepting the challenges and the gifts coming your way. You are strong and you are ready.
The Full Moon at the end of the month is shining light to the darkness. Pay attention to the shadow work that surfaces during this time. Remember that light cannot exist without darkness. This Full Moon is a healthy time to release what has expired and to open the fresh opportunities that belong to you.
Pisces:
If you are not feeling up to the challenge of being present, then that would make a lot of sense with what the planets are doing this month. If you are not already in a meditation groove, then consider yourself lucky this month! The astrology forecast is supporting this idea of meditation and reflection with all the planets hovering over Aquarius. Journaling could be your favorite outlet this month. The privacy and the sharing aspect of journaling appeal to your inner world. The bigger theme is to concentrate on establishing a constant rhythm that brings you to alignment every single day, regardless of the random events life throws at you. Commit to 1-3 things (start slow) that must be done daily with the intention to ground yourself. Do you know that dreamy side of you that drifts from space to space? Well, that can still do its thing, but you must remember to connect to concrete aspects. In this case, it’s communication (journaling/writing/meditation). The New Moon in Aquarius on February 11th is a wonderful time to empty your thoughts out onto the last pages of a journal. Let it all go this month because the end of February starts off your birthday season!
The end of the month closes with a Full Moon in Virgo on February 27th, brightening your health and routine. If you are not yet in tune with your digestive system, then start off with making sure you get your 8 glasses of water per day. Think of drinking 1 cup per hour from the time you wake up. That’s an easy goal that you can set up with the alarm application on your phone!
