Did January feel like half a year already, or was that just us? Here to kick off a new month are your monthly horoscopes! Check your rising sign for details about what to look out for during February.
Aries Rising
The action for your sign begins in the middle of month. On Tuesday, February 13, your ruling planet, Mars, enters Aquarius. Expect a flurry of activity in your social life and virtual communities, and lean on the friends and comrades who leave you feeling energized, not depleted. That’s all the more true during this go-around of Mars in Aquarius since the Red Planet will conjoin Pluto just one day later. It’s not the most romantic Valentine’s Day astrology, but it will leave you feeling in touch with your personal power, especially in social settings. Wield it wisely.
Then, on Thursday, February 22, Venus conjoins Mars in Aquarius. With the planets of connection and action aligning in your friendship sector, networking is the name of the game. Put yourself out there, and don’t be surprised if your super-charged allure attracts more eyes on you than usual.
Taurus Rising
This month’s New Moon in Aquarius on Friday, February 9, marks a fresh start of sorts in your career or public life. Uranus will square this New Moon, imbuing any goals you set or projects you begin with a distinctly radical flair, and a dash of unpredictability. Shake-ups can be good — especially for fixed-sign Taurus, who famously struggles with them — but beware of girlbossing too close to the Sun.
On Saturday, February 17, your ruling planet, Venus, enters Aquarius, infusing your career sector with a dollop of sweetness. If you put your best forward at work, you'll reap the rewards. Luckily, Venus’ conjunction with Mars on February 22 will grant you the energy to show up and show out. (When Mars hits your chart ruler, there’s always a risk of Doing The Most and burning yourself out. I repeat, don’t girlboss too close to the Sun!)
Gemini Rising
The month began with your ruling planet, Mercury, entering air-sign Aquarius on Monday, February 5. The Messenger Planet will stay here for the next few weeks. If you feel called to travel or study a new topic during this time, follow that impulse. You may very well uncover something important about yourself in the process.
On Sunday, February 18, the Sun enters Pisces, shining a light on your career or public life. Saturn has spent over a year in this sign already. With Sol joining the party, expect further emphasis on any lessons you’re learning about who you are, how you communicate, and how you want to show up in the world. This will be especially true come Friday, February 23, when Mercury joins the planetary pile-up in Pisces. Talk through your cosmic downloads with a trusted confidant, and honor any complicated feelings that come up.
Cancer Rising
For your sign, this month’s New Moon in Aquarius on Friday, February 9 is all about shared resources and collaborations. You may feel compelled to launch a joint venture or reach out to your closest confidants for emotional support. Follow your instincts, but don’t get too married to a specific format or outcome — unpredictable Uranus is in the mix here, too.
Then, on Saturday, February 24, the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates your communication sector. The downloads will flow like water, so keep a journal handy. You’ll want to document any and all personal revelations that dawn on you on or around this date. The month ends with a rare triple conjunction between the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Pisces on February 28. If you’ve been meaning to get serious about a course of study or long-term writing project, now’s the time. You may benefit from setting boundaries around your time and mental energy.
Leo Rising
For you, February kicks off with the New Moon in Aquarius on Friday, February 9. With this monthly reset occurring in your partnership sector, a new one-on-one connection or commitment could be on the horizon. If you’re single, stay open to new and different connections; if you’re partnered, it’s a good time for a relationship check-in.
On Tuesday, February 13, fiery Mars enters the same part of your chart. This transit has the capacity to revitalize your partnerships or inflame them. It’s all about how you harness the surge in energy. Finally, the Sun enters Pisces on Sunday, February, 18. This month-long transit will shine a light on your shared resources, collaborations, and emotional baggage. I’ve got two words for you, and you’re going to hate them both: taxes and therapy. (You got this!)
Virgo Rising
Virgos will be most impacted by February’s astrology in the latter half of the month. On Sunday, February 18, the Sun enters Pisces, illuminating your partnership sector; Mercury follows suit on February 23. With so much emphasis on your committed relationships, you’re being called to examine how these connections do (or don’t) enrich your life. A tough conversation about boundaries could be in order, especially when the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn come together on February 28. It’ll be an exercise in advocating for yourself and keeping your heart open.
February also features a Full Moon in Virgo on the 24th. With Luna in your sign, the cosmic spotlight is shining on you. Reflect on your personal growth, especially over the past six months, and celebrate all the moments you’ve shown up as your authentic self. If big feelings bubble up, don’t distract yourself with busywork. Take time to really sit with them.
Libra Rising
The New Moon in Aquarius on Friday, February 9, sets the tone for your month ahead. This lunation occurs in your sector of joy and creativity. That makes it wonderful for setting intentions regarding the things that make you happy. Lean into pleasure as a form of ritual, and be sure to sample new delights.
On Saturday, February 17, your ruling planet, Venus, enters Aquarius, enlivening the same part of your chart. Adding fuel to the New Moon’s fire, this transit can help you massage out any kinks, figuratively. Then on Thursday, February 22, Venus conjoins Mars in Aquarius, dialing up the heat even higher. This is one of the most sensual alignments that can occur in a person’s chart, so we highly advise leaning into pleasure as much as possible on this and the surrounding days. (Yes, we mean sex. Have fun!)
Scorpio Rising
The month began with a Mercury-Pluto conjunction in Aquarius on Monday, February 5. Alignments involving Pluto can feel intense at times, but that’s nothing you’re unfamiliar with. Occurring in the sector of your chart that rules home and security, you may feel compelled to communicate some vulnerable thoughts and feelings. Hold your heart tenderly, but don’t be afraid to open up to others.
Next, on Wednesday, February 14, your ruling planet, Mars, aligns with Pluto in Aquarius. Y’all… the tension will be palpable. We’ve been saying this to our friends and family, and now we’re sharing it with you: Do Not Celebrate Valentine’s Day on Wednesday. There’s a high possibility of misunderstandings or blowing things out of proportion. If you insist on celebrating that day, be prepared to mediate. Then, on Thursday, February 22, Venus aligns with Mars in Aquarius to provide the kind of day Valentine’s was supposed to be: sexy and fun. Relish in it.
Sagittarius Rising
On Sunday, February 18, the Sun enters Pisces and begins to illuminate the sector of home and security in your chart. The season ahead is about growing more familiar with the things most familiar to you. Deepen your understanding of what “home” means to you, and don’t be afraid to share it with those you hold dearest.
Next, on Friday, February 23, Mercury enters Pisces and is followed by the Full Moon in Virgo the next day. This stretch of time has a lot to teach you about your work-life balance. As Mercury gives voice to your most private feelings, the Full Moon illuminates where and how you want to shine. Tenderness is likely, but try to glean insight from these growing pains.
Capricorn Rising
This month is all about the tangible realm for your sign. Starting on Friday, February 9, the New Moon in Aquarius helps you set goals for growth. This could be as simple as starting to put away extra into your savings or taking walks more frequently. Whatever helps you feel like you’re making progress is a good goal.
On Friday, February 16, Venus enters Aquarius and helps make those New Moon goals feel more real. We know you’re into delayed gratification, and there’s nothing better than setting a goal for yourself that holds a juicy reward at the end. Let yourself fantasize about what you want and how you want to get there. Finally, on Wednesday, February 28, there’s a triple conjunction between the Sun, Mercury and Saturn in Pisces activates the part of your chart that rules your mind. It’s time to use that strategic brain of yours to solidify your ambitions.
Aquarius Rising
As usual, January and February are important months for your sign. This month gets going on Friday, February 9, with a New Moon in Aquarius in the sector of your chart concerning you. This New Moon is here to help you think strategically about any personal fresh starts. Who do you want to be, and what steps can you take to bridge the gap between present and future you?
On Thursday, February 22, Venus conjoins Mars in Aquarius, and it’s time to celebrate. It doesn’t really matter what you celebrate as long as you’re uplifting others and allowing them to uplift you in return. Your sign really values community, and there’s so much love to be found in your social circles right now. Let your people shower you with it.
Pisces Rising
It’s your time to shine, baby! On Sunday, February 18, the Sun enters Pisces and your season officially begins. As Sol moves through the sector of your chart concerning you, allow yourself to not just reflect but celebrate the changes you’re beginning to see. A lot has changed since last year, hasn’t it? Don’t let too much time pass without recognizing your growth.
Next, on Saturday, February 24, the Full Moon in Virgo illuminates your relationship sector. We’re specifically talking about important relationships, the ones that inform not just who you love but who you are. Whatever you do to mark Full Moons, make sure to involve those you love in the process this time around. We promise it’ll be special. Finally, on Wednesday, February 28, the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn form a rare triple conjunction in your sign. You may feel a sense of heaviness on or around this date. If you need to bolster your boundaries — especially with yourself— now’s a great time to do it.
