february 2026

  • Featuring several major, once-in-a-lifetime transits and yet another eclipse season, February will be quite a month! The action kicks off right on the 1st with a Leo Full Moon, highlighting topics such as sex and romance, creative output, and children/parenting. This Full Moon wants to show you how to be your most aligned self within those life areas, especially when we’re talking about striking a balance between keeping yourself happy and ensuring everyone else is also doing okay. This will be a joyful lunation, with some minor surprises tossed in; enjoy the moment, and try to do something creative just for the fun of it. You have a very dreamy and imaginative era ahead of you — it’s time to dial in! Your friendships and communities also play a starring role this month, a vibe that intensifies in mid-February. If you’ve been experiencing a lot of friendship ups-and-downs, you’ll feel some of that tension pop around the 5th and the 8th. It’s important to pay attention to the events, conversations, and internal revelations you experience on those days, because you’re embarking on a new journey in those areas. While you’ve been feeling the effects build all month, it all officially begins on February 17th with the Aquarius Solar Eclipse. Solar Eclipses bring cosmic rebrands: they symbolize new beginnings, but the new beginnings associated with an eclipse are often fated, life-defining, and path-altering. If you’ve been seeking a new community, it’s very likely you’ll find it over the course of the next 18 months. Listen to your inner voice — eclipses tend to pull you in a direction you may resist at first, and as this one opens up a new chapter…it means the rest has yet to unfold. By all means, try to guide it, but stay open to things you might not normally entertain. Watch out for the 27th, however; a surprise or sudden disruption may be in store.  


    There’s also a quiet, introspective side to February. With so much celestial activity centered in your 12th house of isolation, the subconscious, and secret fears, it’s time to work on your mental health. This has been a long, arduous journey for you, but the most intense parts are almost over. As several planets make connections while traveling through Pisces, try to clear out those last mental cobwebs. Old fears and resentments, unconscious patterns that hold you back — they all need to go. It’s shadow-work season, baby! This is also an excellent time to seek out the muse, rediscover your spirituality, and simply daydream. Write down your weirdest dreams and omens. There are some really cute days sprinkled into the fog, most notably the 16th, 18th, and 20th — try not to let the inspiration of those days fade away amongst all of the eclipse chaos! It’s also a ripe time for dreamy, romantic escapades and communications. On the 26th, Mercury, planet of the mind, stations retrograde in Pisces to help you move through that mental Pandora’s box and clear it out.


    Now, for the really big stuff. On the 14th, Saturn moves into Aries for a long-term stay. Saturn represents reality, responsibility, boundaries, structure, and time — all of these themes will move to the forefront over the next two years. You’ll experience a major shift in how you inhabit your body, possibly paring down or restricting excess; you’ll also reshape your sense of self. You may feel more reserved, disciplined, and authoritative. This transit will be a buzzkill at times, but it’s a really excellent time to achieve long-term goals and get your life together! We received a preview of what it will bring from last May-September, so I doubt you’ll be blindsided. On the 20th, Saturn joins forces with dreamy Neptune, also in Aries, for a literal once-in-a-lifetime moment of inspiration and creativity. (The last time Saturn and Neptune conjoined in Aries was over 300 years ago…) This energy brings many gifts, including expanded empathy and imagination; however, it also dissolves boundaries and blurs the line between fantasy and reality.

  • We’re embarking on one of the busiest astrological months of the year, so strap in! The drama begins early with the Leo Full Moon on the 1st, which will draw your focus towards home and family matters. As this Full Moon shines its light on your ancestral memory, a clearer path forward will be illuminated. It may be time to finally settle something involving your literal relatives and/or living situation; themes of balancing work and home life could also arise. The Moon serves to import emotion — and your emotional response to this lunation will be telling. If you can, schedule a cozy night in! The rest of February is incredibly work-focused. It’s eclipse season once more, and the life area slated for deep change and renewal is your career — i.e. your overall life ambition and accomplishments. Watch out for some related tension on the 5th and 8th, but the Big Moment will be the Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th. This eclipse is the first in an all-new series that will unfold over the next 18 months, taking your career path on the kind of joyride you might not understand as it’s happening…but once it’s over, you’ll get it. Uranus, planet of surprise and sudden shake-ups, is super active during this eclipse, meaning something out of the blue will occur to set the tone. Perhaps it’s something obvious, like a new job opportunity, but I wouldn’t discount the internal transformation you’re also going through. The key to managing the impending change lies in aligning your heart and values to whatever choices you make. You could receive some clapback on the 27th, but keep soldiering on. You’re in charge here. 

    There’s also a whole lot of friendship and community vibes this month! It’ll be a busy time filled with friend dates and deep conversations. If you’re single and looking to mingle, you could spark up a romance with a friend or acquaintance after the 10th! As Venus enters Pisces and your idealistic, communal 11th house, any related drama will resolve itself and you’ll feel so much love and gratitude for your people. Venus adores being in Pisces, and the tail end of February is riddled with sweet moments. Schedule important talks or meetings on the 12th or 16th if you can, while the 18th, 20th, and 28th are all ideal days to do anything Venusian such as text your crush, book a massage, or go shopping. Meanwhile, Mercury will station retrograde in Pisces on the 26th, so definitely do anything important involving speaking or writing before then and prepare for someone from your past to possibly reenter your life. 

    On a deeper level, you’re in for an incredibly karmic and psychologically profound few years. As Saturn, planet of boundaries and responsibility, enters your 12th house on the 14th, it’s time to embark on an important internal journey. This will feel serious, even heavy at times; you received a sneak peak of what’s in store last May through September. Expect to feel a strong need for rest and privacy while you work through grief as well as old fears, guilt, and shame. This is also a time to revel in your subconscious! Your dreams could become heavier and more symbolic, and you’ll have access to the deepest parts of your imagination. Use Saturn’s capability for structure to give form to it all. The 20th is a major, major day. As Saturn and Neptune conjoin in Aries — which hasn’t happened in over 300 years — strive to dissolve only those boundaries that do not serve you. The collapse of false narratives is imminent, and it’s something to rejoice over.

  • While 2026 is not a leap year, February has moments that will make you feel as if you’ve leapt forward in time. This month’s enormous emphasis on topics such as writing, education, new skills, travel, and spiritual pursuits will unfold alongside a ton of career-related cosmic activity, which will either create a bond between these life areas…or a great disparity. The Leo Full Moon of February 1st shines its light on your 3rd house, which presides over anything involving communication or tech, as well as siblings, short distance travel, and your immediate surroundings. As the Moon’s luxurious rays illuminate the nuance of your emotional relationship to those topics, you may feel it’s time to close out one chapter in order to begin fresh. It’s important to actively seek out how you feel during this Full Moon, simply because it’s the precursor to another lunation later in the month — one that just so happens to be an eclipse! There’s a balance that wants to be found, one that takes into consideration all the little things you do and learn in order to weigh them against the big things. Are you spending your time in meaningful ways, or are you doom-scrolling? The Aquarius Solar eclipse of the 17th is the very first in an all-new series that means to shake up your personal views; now, whether that’s via sending you on far-reaching journeys or to grad school one town over, your mind and spirit will expand over the course of the next year-and-a-half. The eclipse energy begins earlier than that, however, with related tension popping up on the 5th and 8th. If anything occurs, it could provide important insight into how your eclipse experience will go. Regardless, it’s time to think big! Eclipses tend to shake up our lives in necessary ways, opening up paths we normally wouldn’t have dreamed of on our own, and this one has a surprise built into its DNA. It’ll be a wild ride, but a fun one, too. A snag may arrive on the 27th, but you can handle it. 


    Whether or not all of the above loops back to your career ambitions, that life area will also loom large this month. As several planets make their way through Pisces and your ambitious 10th house, expect some seemingly-fated happenings to occur. Important conversations and alliances could be on the docket, especially once Venus enters Pisces on the 10th. Venus loves being in this sign, and you’ll feel the sweetness trickle into your work — collabs, creative solutions, and office romances are all possible! It’s also a lovely time to schedule beauty appointments and indulge in luxurious self-care; your romantic relationships will receive a boost as well. If you’re thinking of initiating an important conversation (perhaps asking for a raise?), the best days this month are the 16th, 18th, and 20th. Try to get all it all in before Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th, however, which can reduce your chances of success! (Although the 28th’s is still a pretty cute day, as long as you don’t mind a text from an ex…)


    Additionally, some longer-term shifts are afoot, namely Saturn’s ingress into Aries and your social 11th house. Saturn gets a bad rap; this planet is known for setting boundaries, doling out new responsibilities, and limiting fun. When we’re talking about your friendships and communities, this may mean less social time due to other commitments. However, it’s also an ideal opportunity to prune your circles and forge better-aligned friendships that will stand the test of time. Confront your fear of visibility and impatience with group decisions. It’s time for healthy boundaries and decisive leadership. Things to watch out for include self-isolation and feeling unsupported while refusing help. As Saturn joins forces with Neptune on the 20th — a literal once-in-a-lifetime celestial event — examine your own disillusionment, especially when it comes to who you surround yourself with. Oh, and crack down on the martyr syndrome. It’s just not worth it.

  • February has a lot going on; while money is only one of its many, many themes, it’s a major one. To this I say: welcome to eclipse season, where all your outdated financial patterns are set to receive the makeover of a lifetime! In reality, it might not be that dramatic, but a new era is opening up, one that begins on the 1st with the Leo Full Moon. This lunation will illuminate your personal resources, and while your income is part of that, it’s also about possessions and resourcing. This Full Moon will serve to connect your emotions to those topics, in a way that can be deeply clarifying. It’s important to really feel your feelings at this time; it’ll help you later in the month. It’s also a very sensual, earthly Full Moon that could have you going through your closets and ordering in a decadent dinner. If that’s the case, then enjoy! As you consider your personal financial patterns, the cosmos begins the process of machinating a radical reset around your shared resources, as well as intimacy, power, and trust. Related tensions will pop up early in the month, most notably around the 5th and the 8th, but the vibe will fully bloom during the Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th. This eclipse is a powerful new beginning — not only is it essentially a turbo-charged New Moon, it’s also the very first eclipse in an all-new cycle, one whose effects will unfold over the course of the next 18 months. It may be a chaotic moment, but there will be a certain…cleanliness to it, due to Aquarius’s objectivity and innovative nature. This is merely the first chapter of a longer story, but if you turn your focus towards purging old emotional, sexual, and financial wounds and contracts, you’ll be ready to receive. There’s a big surprise or disruption baked into the eclipse too; Uranus is particularly active at this time. (This is also true of the 27th.) Expect changes in shared finances, investments, and debts; aim to establish new rules with partners and collaborators. The category is autonomy within interdependence and, if it begins to feel heavy, remember that its greatest gift will be emotional and psychological liberation. 


    This month’s concurrent, seemingly unrelated story will unfold in the realm of personal expansion, travel, higher education, and spiritual pursuits. As several planets move through Pisces, your personal world view will begin to expand, especially once Venus enters Pisces on the 10th to sweeten up these topics! Venus is in her element in this sign, and as she goes about beautifying these life areas, you’ll find deep pleasure in them. It’s also a lovely time to book a trip or apply to grad school, but try to do it before Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th! The cutest, luckiest moments will be the 16th, 18th, and 20th, so try to schedule any important convos or events during those days if you can. Aside from all that, simply revel in the pleasure and excitement of new knowledge, exotic locales, and spiritual breakthroughs — even if they’re acquired at your local library and not on a plane to Bali. 


    You’re also about to have a career-defining few years. As Saturn enters Aries and your ambitions 10th house on the 14th, it’s time to step into leadership and visibility without relying on someone else’s approval. This won’t be instantaneous; Saturn will quietly do its work through 2028. (We did, however, get a sneak peak of this energy last May through September.) More responsibility will be acquired…and more discipline will be required. The goal is to make your career path not just successful, but durable and long-lasting. Prepare for changes, but remember: you are your own authority. That’s especially important to consider once Saturn joins forces with Neptune on the 20th, an incredibly rare cosmic event (the last time this happened was over 300 years ago)! Neptune is tricky; it clouds the lens and promotes fantasy and illusion, so if something seems too good to be true, make sure to vet it thoroughly. Let your martyr syndrome, especially in the workplace, melt away; instead, give structure and form to your highest career ideals. You need your career to have meaning — build that into your plans.

  • February is an intense month full of initiatory experiences and while many of them will involve relationship themes, the Leo Full Moon of the 1st is all about you. When a Full Moon occurs in your sign, it brings heightened self-awareness and emotional clarity around who you’re becoming. At the time of this lunation, you could have powerful realizations about your identity, body, and the way you want to be perceived by the outside world. It could also be a moment of major creativity, sensitivity, and self-expression! Revel in this energy before the rest of February’s astrology turns your focus towards your closest partnerships — you need to be secure in yourself before walking that path. Due to the Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th, you’re about to enter a brand-new chapter when it comes to one-on-one relationships. (This also includes business partnerships!) This eclipse is the very first in an all-new series that will ultimately prompt you towards shedding past versions of yourself and pouring more effort into partnerships of all kinds. Even though the eclipse occurs mid-month, there are a few small pockets of tension that serve to foreshadow what it will actually deliver, especially around the 5th and 8th. At the time of the eclipse itself, expect surprises, sudden news, even drastic change — this is due to Uranus’s heavy involvement in the celestial drama! There’s no need to fret, however; this is merely the opening chapter of a story that will play out over the next 18 months. I will say that it’s much easier to guide its trajectory if you take control of the reins early on! Guide this eclipse — sit down with yourself and get extremely clear about what you want your long-term relationships to look like. (And watch out around the 27th for some lingering eclipse tension.)  

    There’s also a huge emphasis on finances this month, especially shared resources, passive income, taxes, inheritances, and grants. (This may be related to your current relationship situation, or it may not.) It all begins on the 6th, when Mercury enters Pisces and your transformative 8th house, and ramps up on the 10th once Venus joins the messenger planet to sweeten up this life area. If you’re thinking of making money moves, the 16th, 18th, and 20th are best days to do so — but try to slow down your roll by the 26th, which is when Mercury stations retrograde. There’s also a very deep, sometimes dark, element to this transit; you may be more drawn to occult and taboo topics more than usual, or feel a much stronger need to bond. Take the time to explore these urges and reactions this month; they could take you to some interesting places. Embrace transformation.

    The bigger, long-term shifts this month will unfold in your 9th house, which presides over travel, higher education, and spiritual pursuits — basically, anything that contributed to the expansion of your mind and spirit! On the 14th, Saturn glides into Aries; it’s time to add discipline to your belief structures. This is an impulsive aspect of your life, but you’ll find yourself slowing down and approaching it more intentionally. You may also experience some blockages and buzzkills within those topics. We got a sneak peak of what this will bring last May-September; look back to the events of that time for more clues. On the 20th, Saturn finally reaches Neptune, a once-in-a-lifetime moment! (Seriously, this hasn’t happened in over 300 years.) Your old mythology needs updating, and the next decade or so will push you through some gorgeous, inspirational journeys. Rewrite your spiritual and worldly beliefs, but don’t fall prey to false prophets.

  • February opens with a quiet but powerful culmination, one that will illuminate the most hidden aspects of your psyche. As the Leo Full Moon arrives on the 1st, you may experience heightened sensitivity and intuition, vivid dreams, and unfettered access to your own secrets. (You know, the ones you keep from yourself.) This annual opportunity to clear out suppressed shame, fear, and resentment might not exactly be fun, but it’s definitely worth taking advantage of. As your world turns inward, focus on healing shame around being seen or taking up space. This is an important Full Moon as it’s the precursor to the Aquarius Solar eclipse that will occur on the 17th, which is the very first in an all-new series. In plain terms, this eclipse will open up a new era of transformation in two specific life areas: your physical and mental health. Those are broad categories, but essentially, you’ll be asked, through new (possibly sudden!) events and experiences, to radically reset your approach to daily life, work, and wellbeing. The vibe begins to build early in the month; expect related tension around the 5th and 8th as the cosmos preps to deliver its eclipse intentions to your door. On the 17th, expect the kind of surprise or sudden shake-up that changes the course of fate. This sounds dramatic, but, as you look back at this time in a couple of years, you’ll know what I mean. Solar eclipses are powerful New Moons; have fun with redesigning your life from the inside out! (This is why clearing out your psyche of nasty patterns before this eclipse hits would be wise.) Understand that this is only the opening act; the full story will unfold over the next 18 months. Watch out for any issues on the 27th, however, as troublemaker Mars scratches at any scabs the eclipse left behind.

    The rest of the month heavily emphasizes your closest, one-on-one relationships. It’s a sweet time, especially once Venus enters Pisces on the 10th. Venus loves being in this sign, so dial in on the fantasy and plan some sumptuous dates! If you’re single, it’s a lovely time to meet possible romantic interests, especially with good conversation and flirtation. If you’re looking to make some moves, the cutest days are the 16th, 18th, and 20th — try to capitalize on your Venusian luck before the 26th, however. Once Mercury stations retrograde, those flirty messages might not land the way you intended them to! The 28th is an excellent day to sit down with a close partner or friend and hash out something important…I wouldn’t be surprised if an ex’s name pops up on your phone, either. 

    On the 14th, Saturn — the planet of structure and responsibility — enters Aries and your esoteric, transformative 8th house. Over the next few years, Saturn will attempt to bring long-term stability to topics such as trust and intimacy, as well as shared finances and other streams of passive income (i.e. taxes, inheritances, stocks, and grants). It’s time to pursue real, lasting growth in these areas via learning how to better assert boundaries and conquer your fear of emotional vulnerability. Saturn joins forces with dreamy Neptune on the 20th, an extremely rare cosmic event that will encourage you to dissolve so you can rebuild. Reestablish your faith, but pass on the martyr complex and don’t make any rash financial moves. Neptune allows you to imagine incredible possibilities, but can also make you a little delulu.

  • This is an action-packed month, and, for you, this will manifest as all work and all play. February 1st’s Leo Full Moon will bring a peak moment of friendship and community to the table — and an opportunity to smooth over any tension between the spotlight and collective belonging. This is a moment of emotional clarity around your friendships; do you surround yourself with supportive, like-minded folks that let you shine? If you seek community, you just might find it under the bright light of this Full Moon. It’s okay to be recognized for your contributions; it’s also okay to feel proud of your role within the communities you belong to. Watch out for ego clashes, and choose aligned action over popularity contests. Spend time with your nearest and dearest if you can, because the rest of February’s astrology will have you re-downloading dating apps when you’re not spending late nights at the gym or the office! As the Aquarius Solar eclipse lands on the 17th — the very first in an all-new series — expect a ton of cosmic energy to flow towards your romantic and creative escapades. This is a story that will unfold over the next year-and-a-half, so if nothing super-dramatic occurs, a seed will still be planted, one you’ll look back upon as the beginning of a new chapter. You may experience some related tension earlier in the month, especially around the 5th and 8th, but treat those vibes as foreshadowing, because it’s likely the real event will bring a surprise of some kind. How do you want to let loose? Guide the energy! Additionally, if you have children, this journey could involve them, too. (Hey, sex and kids are related topics…)

    As your love (and artistic) life heats up, the rest of the celestial activity zooms in on work and health. (Pets could be a vibe, too.) As Venus enters Pisces and your busy-bee sector on the 10th, expect these life areas to sweeten up a bit! Maybe you’ll be recognized for a recent accomplishment in the workplace, or feel the urge to reclaim your health — whatever it is, you’ll have cosmic support. Some of the luckiest days for these topics are the 16th, 18th, and 20th, so if you can separate this from the eclipse noise, use that info to make your moves. Things will slow down a bit once Mercury stations retrograde on the 26th, however, so try to get anything important done before then. Flirtatious communiques abound on the 28th, but be careful with your replies — they could be misinterpreted.

    The biggest astro event occurs on the 14th, when Saturn enters Aries, where the planet of time and responsibility will stay until 2028. This transit will be a defining period for your romantic and business partnerships, bringing a new maturity to those superclose one-on-one relationships. Even though you may just be trying to have fun, your adventures will probably fuel major growth in this life area. Alternatively, commitment itself may be subject to Saturn’s limiting influence; if this is the case, the next few years will help you figure it out. Anything involving Saturn is a learning process, a journey of maturation. On the 20th, Saturn finally joins forces with dreamy Neptune in Aries, a very, very rare cosmic event. Neptune’s overactive imagination will help dissolve your boundaries — good if they’re outdated, bad if you such at enforcing them. Pick your poison! All jokes aside, this is a truly lovely moment to rebuilt your faith in aligned relationships, as long as you don’t attach yourself to energy vampires and con artists.

  • What a month this will be, what with an all-new eclipse series storming in to transform your work and family life balance, plus a ton of romantic action to boot! It all begins on the 1st with the Full Moon in Leo, which turns the spotlight to your career and public image. There’s an element of heart-centered self-expression to this lunation, and I encourage you to consider how you’d like to move forward in your career while being recognized for who you are, not just what you do. You’ll feel compelled to play the highlight reel of your achievements (and why not?), but don’t succumb to vanity or ego trips. You’re a natural authority figure (or at least, that’s your birthright), so own it! Really feel what this lunation opens up in your heart and mind, because the Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th will initiate an all-new journey, one that brings more focus to home and family while you shed old goals and ambitions. There will be some blips of tension early in the month, especially around the 5th and 8th, but the eclipse itself is the real deal. Since unpredictable Uranus is heavily involved, a path-altering surprise is likely. It may be quiet, nuanced, slow — but rest assured, change is coming. This eclipse is the first in a brand-new series, and it serves as the first chapter of that aforementioned journey. Guide the energy: where do you want your career to go? Where do you want to hang your hat at night? Having some answers to those questions, even if they’re vague and hazy, will go a long way. The 27th may bring some related drama, but it’ll be fleeting. In the meantime, expect to pour more energy into relocation, real estate, renovating your home, and spending time with family. (Or creating your chosen family!) 

    The good news is that the fun-and-pleasure side-quest you’ve been embarking on continues through February. You can be a shameless flirt, but the spice level rises once Mercury enters Pisces on the 6th, and especially once Venus joins the party on the 10th! The next few weeks are a ripe time for all your…extracurriculars, including (but not limited to): sex, hobbies, and your creative output. (Also kids, if you have ‘em!) Venus in particular loves being in Pisces, and the vibe will be dreamy, fantastical, and romantic; enjoy it while it lasts. The loveliest days for fun and art are the 16th, 18th, and 20th, so if you can escape the eclipse drama for a short while, I urge you to take advantage! Slow your roll on the 26th, however; as Mercury stations retrograde, miscommunications and mishaps are likely. The 28th could bring an ex-flame into your life; you may also feel it’s time to have an important heart-to-heart with someone. 

    Some bigger, long-term transits are also brewing. On the 14th, Saturn, planet of structure and responsibility, moves into Aries to instill some more seriousness and responsibility regarding your health, daily habits, and workplace. Through 2028, Saturn aims to show you how to optimize your self-care (spoiler alert: it’s through discipline and the creation of constructive habits), a process that’ll have its ups-and-downs but will be 100% worth it in the long run. For some of you, this transit could also bring increased responsibility at work or something involving a pet. The ultimate takeaway is that you can’t ignore your health and ball as hard as you want to. On the 20th, Saturn catches up to mystical Neptune in a joint effort to dissolve unhelpful patterns and help you find more aligned (and more sustainable) routines. Confusion may set it, but it’ll clear up eventually. You may also feel called towards a more spiritual way to live everyday moments.

  • This is a month chock-full of action, and it begins with a culmination of emotional energy surrounding your beliefs, higher learning, adventure, and personal truth. (Right up your alley!) As the Leo Full Moon lands in your expansive 9th house on February 1st, focus on expressing your beautiful authenticity through growth and exploration. This lunation may also deliver a peak moment involving travel, higher education, spirituality, even publishing — whatever it brings, you’ll feel a sense of completion, revelation, and/or emotional clarity within these topics. Try to savor the moment and really soak in its lessons, because the next lunation of the month is actually an eclipse! The Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th will initiate a major rest in all things involving communication, learning, and everyday transit, as well as certain types of relationships (like those you have with siblings or cousins). This is the very first eclipse in an all-new series, and whatever happens is merely the first chapter in a story that will gradually unfold over the next 18 months, one that will transform how you think, learn, and communicate. The emphasis will be on innovation and individuality, as well as revolution and rebellion. Go on, break those outdated patterns! A new era is on its way. The energy will build earlier in the month with some pockets of tension, especially around the 5th and 8th, but treat whatever occurs as valuable foreshadowing. As Mars challenges unstable Uranus on the 27th, however, a surprise conflict may crop up. 

    Much of the rest of this month’s cosmic activity centers on your home and family life, and you may be relocating, buying/selling, renovating, or simply spending more time at home or with family. It’s a sweet few weeks, especially once Venus enters Pisces and your ancestral 4th house on the 10th to sprinkle some happy vibes throughout those life areas! If you’re redecorating, this is an awesome time to come up with the perfect design inspo, and if you’ve been meaning to visit a family member, this energy is super supportive of that. While you enjoy the overall vibes, there are several extra-cute days sprinkled through the tail end of the month if you want to use them for something specific. (I.e. flirting with your crush or planning an extra-decadent date night at home…) Those would be the 16th, 18th, and 20th, and if you can separate their lovely influence from generalized eclipse chaos, please do so, it would be a waste not to use them! Try to avoid starting any big home projects after the 26th, however; as Mercury stations retrograde, your well-laid plans may go awry. 

    The really big cosmic event, however, occurs on the 14th as Saturn moves into Aries to bring more structure and responsibility to your sex and creativity sector. Over the next 2-3 years, you’ll experience greater discipline, patience, and commitment within those topics, as well as more courage and initiative. A Saturn transit always comes with life lessons, but it also helps you create something real. Take all of those random ideas and give them form. Take control over your love life. Prioritize boundaries, timing, and consistency in all things romance and self-expression. If you have children, it’s possible they experience some challenges during this time. Saturn can also create limits and roadblocks, but that’s all part of the design. On the 20th, as Saturn joins forces with mystical Neptune, your creativity will feel meteoric. If the vibe manifests in your love life, let fantasy take over, but don’t be a martyr, and certainly don’t fall for anyone’s tricks. There’s so much upcoming transcendence to experience in these life areas, so make sure to share it with someone worthy.

  • If you’ve been dreaming of completely transforming your finances but haven’t had the courage to start, this month serves as a major initiation! The Leo Full Moon of February 1st lands in your shared and passive income sector and illuminates themes of merging resources, taxes, inheritances, and monetary gifts. This lunation indicates both a peak period and “end of an era” vibes in the above topics; if you seek emotional clarity, you’ll find it at this time. Ground yourself in what you know to be real, true, and authentic, and try to approach any challenging feelings with detachment, curiosity, and innovation. You may also feel drawn towards a level of intimacy and vulnerability you’re not exactly used to. You’re about to enter an 18-month period of redefining your personal resources, so it’s very important to process the emotions this Full Moon brings up! The Aquarius Solar eclipse, which lands on the 17th, is the first in an all-new series that will swoop in to help you establish not just more aligned financial patterns and attitudes, but an entirely new values system. (This includes your self-worth.) New income streams or ways of earning money are on the way; the goal is financial independence, debt eradication, and simply feeling more secure. While the eclipse is the main event, the energy builds throughout the month, with a few pockets of related tension occurring around the 5th and 8th. Expect some surprises along the way and keep an open mind — this is just the opening chapter in a much longer story.


    Unfolding alongside the eclipse chaos is a slightly different tale, one that involves communication, writing, and tech. As first Mercury, then Venus, enters Pisces and your chatty 3rd house, any related projects will receive a boost, especially after the 10th. Venus in particular loves being in Pisces, a sign that imbues the planet of love and beauty with deep empathy and creativity, so use this energy to add extra sparkle to your work and ideas! You may also feel compelled to spend more time with a sibling, planning a day trip, or exploring your neighborhood. If any of the above topics can be applied towards boosting your cash flow, it’s an especially good time to do so. However, try to get it done before the 26th, which is when Mercury stations retrograde, which can impede your progress. The cutest days of the month are the 16th, 18th, and 20th — use them to start something good. 


    There’s also a bigger, longer-term celestial event in the works this month. As Saturn moves into Aries and your ancestral 4th house on the 14th, a period of increased structure and responsibility re: all things home and family will begin. From now until 2028, you’ll be busy redefining what “home” means to you. This may involve facing old wounds and ancestral traumas or setting more solid boundaries with problematic relatives. Whatever it is, it’ll be a process of learning and maturation. Once Saturn joins forces with mystical Neptune on the 20th, it’s time to dissolve and rebuild the emotional foundations of your life — to end unhelpful ancestral karmic bonds and become your own inner authority.

  • February is an intense month for you! The action kicks off right away with a partnership-focused Leo Full Moon on the 1st, one that will highlight the state of your closest relationships. This lunation is an introspective, heart-opening cosmic event that will bring revelations surrounding how you show up for others — and how much of yourself you’ve suppressed in the process. Something important may come to light at this time, perhaps about (or because of!) a current partner, client, or collaborator — and make sure to pay close attention to where pride or ego have been quietly driving your relationship dynamics. Since relationships are mirrors, this Full Moon has the power to influence how you feel about yourself through the lens of partnership — don’t ignore your emotional responses and heed any revelations, because the rest of this month’s astrology will have a lot to say about who you’re becoming. As February 17th’s Aquarius Solar eclipse lands in the most influential sector of your chart, prepare for major personal transformation! Identity development, life-path, even your physical appearance — these will all receive the “eclipse treatment” over the next 18 months, resulting in a turning point during which you’ll step into a future version of yourself. A Solar eclipse is a turbo-charged New Moon; since this is also the very first eclipse in an all-new series that specifically affects you and your relationships, it’s wise to stay open and nonjudgemental towards the events and experience that will unfold in its wake. Expect a surprise on the 17th and concentrate on living in alignment with your values and being seen as you really are. Remember: this is just the opening chapter in a much longer story; you may not see this month as one that delivers a new beginning, but a seed will be planted and it will bear future fruit.


    You’ll also be dealing with financial themes alongside the chaos of eclipse season; as Mercury, then Venus, cruise through Pisces and your fiscal 2nd house, you may experience a boost in income or even a collaborative project that makes you some extra cash, especially after the 10th. If you’re looking to make some money moves, the luckiest days to do so are the 16th, 18th, and 20th — if you can escape the eclipse drama long enough to get anything done! Since Venus absolutely loves being in Pisces, a sign in which the planet of love and connection feels totally free to do her thing, your love life may also feel extra sweet at this time. Enjoy!


    There’s also a deeper long-term shift brewing this month. As Saturn, planet of limits and responsibility, moves into Aries on the 14th, you’ll begin to feel the pull of mental discipline and more structured learning and communication. Over the next few years, latent writing, speaking, or tech projects may finally be given form; you may also feel delays in focus or a more challenging time learning new things. Saturn delivers growth and maturity via life lessons, so don’t be discouraged — discipline and stamina are the name of the game! Issues with siblings, car trouble, or neighborhood strife may also pop up during Saturn’s stay here. On the 20th, prepare for unprecedented inspiration in the aforementioned life areas, but don’t let one runaway idea derail more real, grounded progress. Watch out for mental overload and seek mental clarity, even if it feels far from reach. You’re learning to speak your truth, without distortion, and that’s an ongoing process.

  • The month starts off with a moment of emotional clarity around work, health, daily routines, and service. As the Leo Full Moon of February 1st highlights these topics, you’ll feel drawn towards reclaiming your pride, creativity, and heart in the way you live your everyday life. Try to recontextualize your daily habits as self-worth rituals. You may experience some revelations about burnout at work or feeling recognized for your contributions; this Full Moon wants you to reset your routines, to purge what no longer supports your continuous vitality. If you can insert joy and self-expression into your everyday life, please do so! It will help your morale tremendously. Your physical health may also be a focus during this lunation. It’s important to re-prioritize taking care of yourself, especially when considering the rest of this month’s astrology, much of which will focus on rest, isolation, and spending more time perusing the realm of the subconscious. The Aquarius Solar eclipse of February 17th is the first in an all-new series that aims to transform your approach to both physical and mental health, with a focus on clearing those aspects of your psyche that are hidden from even yourself. Detaching from collective conditioning or inherited beliefs so you can cultivate more peace in your mind and psyche is the long game, and as the eclipse swoops in with its promise of liberation, try to release a need to be “special” and instead find freedom in accepting yourself as you are. There will likely be some kind of surprise or destabilizing event attached to this eclipse; your intuition and sensitivity will also be heightened. This moment is only the opening chapter of an 18-month journey, meaning the seeds you plant — which will be potent ones, since a Solar eclipse is akin to a turbo-charged New Moon — won’t fully bloom until the series is over, but it should be treated as a defining moment, one you’ll look back on in the future and understand why it was a turning point. Try to get some rest! This month will tucker out. 


    Even though part of you will deeply desire to crawl under your blankets and camp out there all month, there’s far too much going on elsewhere in the sky to succumb to the temptation. With several planets moving through Pisces, you’ll be at the center of the story, placing your identity, body, and life path at the forefront all month. Fortunately, it should be a pretty sweet few weeks, especially once Venus moves into Pisces on the 10th to infuse you with extra charm and magnetism! You’ll receive extra attention during the last weeks of February — try to enjoy the lush, decadent, unifying vibe in the midst of all the eclipse chaos. The most standout days (i.e. the most promising ones for texting your crush or similar) are the 16th, 18th, and 20th, so use them to your advantage! 


    There's also a slower, longer-term shift occurring this month. As Saturn moves into Aries and your career sector, a several-year period of rehabbing your ambitions and public identity will commence. Saturn represents seriousness, limits, time, and extra responsibility — this may not exactly be a fun era, but it has the potential to be one during which you build better foundations, step into your authority, and solidify your long-term direction. Life lessons are on their way; manage any internal rebellion or resistance and learn them! Saturn is a great teacher. On the 20th, as Saturn meets face-to-face with dreamy Neptune, outdated ambitions will be dissolved and you’ll find yourself seeking meaningful work. And remember: being of service in some way is good for your soul.
