Astrology Forecast: February 2024 🗓
Featuring Pisces season and a Sun-Mercury-Saturn triple conjunction.
Happy Venus day, friends!
I don’t know about you, but for me, January has felt like five months crammed into one. As much as I’ve enjoyed the Mars-in-Capricorn hustle, I’m ready for things to slow down a bit in the lead-up to Pisces season. Keep reading for an overview of February’s astro-weather, including a Mars-Pluto meet-up on Valentine’s Day, lots of Uranus activations, and a potent triple conjunction in Pisces.
Wednesday, February 7: Venus in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus
Trines between Venus and Uranus inspire ingenuity in our relationships and creative endeavors. In earth signs, this transit is all about sensory experiences. Plan a date night at a new-to-you restaurant, or experiment with making art out of found objects.
Thursday, February 8: The Sun in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus
On February 8, the Sun in Aquarius squares off with Uranus in Taurus. This tense transit illuminates how change, even the necessary kind, can challenge your identity. Resistance is normal and OK, but don’t let an overly rigid self-concept hinder your growth.
Friday, February 9: New Moon in Aquarius
February’s New Moon in Aquarius could us have feeling stuck in our heads, especially on the heels of that Sun-Uranus square. It’s a prime moment to assess where you are (and aren’t) willing to push yourself right now. If your intentions for 2024 need reconfiguring, make adjustments accordingly.
Wednesday, February 14: Mars conjoins Pluto in Aquarius
For better or worse, this Valentine’s Day has an undercurrent of emotional intensity. You can thank Mars’ conjunction to Pluto, the first of this 20-year cycle of Pluto in Aquarius. This transit could trigger conflict around simmering resentments or power imbalances; alternatively, you and your boo may decide to play around with power dynamics in the bedroom. Try your best to respond to emotional activation from a place of reason, not fear.
Saturday, February 17: Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus
February’s frenetic Mercury-Uranus square may feel like a mini-Mercury retrograde. Brace yourself for technological malfunctions or communication breakdowns, and if you run anxious, take extra good care of your nervous system.
Monday, February 19: The Sun enters Pisces
Welcome to Pisces season! With the Sun and Saturn co-present in this mutable water sign, our emotional boundaries (or lack thereof) will be highlighted. Let Sol’s light guide the way as you process hard feelings, pour into your creative outlets, and protect your energy.
Thursday, February 22: Venus conjoins Mars in Aquarius
After literal months of chasing each other, Venus and Mars finally link up in Aquarius. It’s an ideal time to indulge your base desires. If you can get freaky with a lover or partner, even better.
Saturday, February 24: Full Moon in Virgo
In pragmatic, detail-oriented Virgo, February’s Full Moon will shed light on the small, everyday actions that make us who we are. Reflect on the steady work you’ve put in to get to this place, and think about ways to release any habits that no longer serve you.
Wednesday, February 28: The Sun, Mercury, and Saturn conjoin in Pisces
Did someone say triple conjunction? At the end of the month, the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn will all conjoin at 9 degrees of Pisces. Since it involves the Sun, this transit doubles as a clarifying Cazimi moment for Mercury and Saturn. Do your communication skills need bolstering? What about your boundaries?
This potent Piscean pile-up (say that five times fast) supports emotional breakthroughs — the more honest you are with yourself about what you need to feel confident and secure, the better. Saturn rewards hard work, so use the insight you glean to commit to a practice or routine that improves your life.
