Remember me
February’s astrology promises to be some of the most dramatic of the year! Aquarius season is in full swing at the top of the month, helping you zoom out of your own bubble and focus on your role in the collective. This is a powerful time for building community and authentic connections that bring a deep sense of belonging and that can help create the change you wish to see in the world.
The month begins with a loud Full Moon in Leo on February 1, which further emphasizes your place in the collective whole. How can you take your unique gifts and talents—what makes you shine—and use that to create positive changes for the larger whole? For some, this can also look like an invitation to step into a more authentic version of themselves or a moment that helps them release seeking approval of others.
There’s more shock and surprise a few days later when Uranus goes direct in Taurus on February 3. This will bring you back to September 6, 2025, when Uranus began its retrograde journey. This can invite you to take a risk, try something new, or bring divine inspiration your way. All you can do is expected the unexpected and this energy can coincide with emotional breakthroughs or solutions to some of your problems.
Mercury, the planet of communication, moves into Pisces on February 6, heightening your intuition—and offering a preview into the upcoming Mercury retrograde at the end of the month. You’re making decisions based on your intuition and sense of compassion. This can be a fruitful time to explore creative ideas and whatever lingers in your imagination. Committing to a dream journal can also be a useful tool during this transit.
A few days later, on February 10, Venus moves into its favorite zodiac sign: Pisces. The next few weeks bring a little more ease and support when it comes to romance, your personal values, finances, and creative pursuits. This is lovely energy for finding more joy and pleasure in your personal life and for healing and meaningful interactions with others. There’s a serious shift of energy a few days later, on February 13, when Saturn enters Aries. This brings you back to May 24, 2025, when Saturn first entered Aries last year. Saturn in Aries brings new lessons, reality checks, consequences, and commitments to the Aries section of your birth chart. Collectively, we might also see more examples of power-hungry leaders globally or find the urge to stand up against harmful leaders or systems that are outdated and oppressive. For those of you born between 1996-99, you’re officially entering the beginning of your Saturn return—a cosmic rite of passage that recommits you to your purpose and brings you more into alignment with your life path and direction.
Fate and destiny take centerstage a few days later thanks to a New Moon solar eclipse in Aquarius on February 17. This is the first eclipse in Aquarius since 2016-18 and, before that, 2008-09. Similar themes and topics from those years may resurface in new ways. Eclipses in Aquarius bring fated endings and beginnings that invite you to reflect on your relationship to community. What role do you play in your local community? What friendships are nourishing and fill your cup? Are there any dreams you want to set for yourself and chase after? This is the time to get innovative and invest in your future—alongside the people who matter most.
The Sun enters Pisces on February 18, bringing us to the final zodiac sign on the wheel. Pisces season invites intense introspection, healing, closure, and can bring up big feelings. You’re reflecting on the patterns, cycles, people and habits that no longer serve you or that are keeping you stuck and stagnant. What are you ready to release before Aries season arrives, and with it, the astrological new year? Feeling the feelings you ignored is the best way to heal and release what no longer serves you. Give yourself some time to grieve.
Saturn and Neptune, both in Aries, team up at the same point in the sky on February 20, for an incredibly rare astrological event. This planetary pairing only happens every 36 years or so. Saturn brings structure and responsibility and Neptune is associated with illusion, creativity, and spirituality. This combination can serve up harsh reality checks, as one goal or structure that was familiar dissolves, but trust that from the ashes something new will be reborn. You’re taking some of your dreams and bringing them into tangible form over the coming years.
You’re in for some cosmic reshuffling once Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces on February 25. This brings you back to last March when Mercury was also retrograde in Pisces. Similar themes might come up. This retrograde energy asks you to reflect on your relationship with faith and surrendering. There might also be some loose ends—cycles, patterns, or relationships—that you’re finishing up. On the bright side, this can also reconnect you with your creativity and invite you to explore more of what you’re passionate about.
The month wraps up with quite a contentious planetary pairing when Mars in Aquarius slams into Uranus in Taurus on February 27. People are feeling reactive—yourself included. You might also be a little bit more accident prone, so just do your best to not overdo it or rush through things. This is volatile and frustrating energy that can cause even the most innocent of comments or conversations to blow up into a lasting fight. Pick your battles wisely. On the bright side, you can use this energy to push past fears, take risks, and make surprising progress in your life, as well. There is liberatory energy here, too!
