February’s astrological landscape brings a relaxed, harmonious energy, influenced by Venus and Pisces themes. With Mars and Jupiter moving direct, the Sun transitioning into Pisces, and a serene New Moon closing out the month, it’s a time for reflection, creativity, and gentle forward momentum.
The month begins with a Venus/Neptune conjunction in Pisces on February 1st. Venus in Pisces is very dreamy and romantic. Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces, makes this connection even more special in terms of creativity and imagination. During this short window of time, take advantage of and keep your eyes open for new romantic encounters or make even deeper connections within your personal relationships, trust your inspiration and creative urges by channeling your inner visions into your work, and look for ways to connect to all things beautiful.
On February 3rd, Venus transitions from dreamy Pisces into bold Aries, bringing a spark of passion, excitement, and honesty. During this transit, expect bold energy - no hesitation, no apologies - just a focus on going after what you want in the moment. Use this energy wisely by exploring different ways of being in relationships and discovering how to better express your needs and desires.
Jupiter goes Direct in Gemini on February 4th. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, abundance, optimism, and growth. Wherever it is in your chart, is where good fortune and fulfilment lie. While Jupiter was retrograde, you were being encouraged to connect with your spiritual goals and reflect on your life at a deeper level. The focus was on your personal growth. As Jupiter now moves back into direct motion, look for increased opportunities and positive development in many different areas of learning, including creativity in all types of communicative activities.
On February 5th, we enter the 1st Quarter Moon phase in Taurus, a time often marked by emotional tension or a restless energy. This phase occurs when the Sun and Moon form a challenging square aspect, sparking an inner need to resolve conflicting thoughts and feelings. You might start to question yourself or second-guess ideas that emerged during the New Moon at the end of January. Are you on the right path? Is this really a good idea?
While doubts may surface, don’t lose sight of your vision. Taurus energy offers the grounding stability needed to push through challenges. Use this phase to set clear goals and lay a solid foundation for long-term success. Stay focused, steady, and determined; progress will come with persistence.
The Full Moon in Leo on February 12th offers a moment of clarity, helping you see exactly where to shine your light. Whatever you've been envisioning since last month's New Moon is now ready to come to fruition. Ask yourself how you can be of service to others in both a selfless way and in a productive and creative way that is integral to your life path.
As Valentine’s Day approaches on the 14th, Mercury’s transition into Pisces inspires imaginative, compassionate, and intuitive thinking. This is an ideal time to trust your instincts, as your thoughts will be guided by emotion and empathy.
On the same day, Venus, the Goddess of Love, forms a harmonious trine with Juno, the asteroid that is known as the Goddess of Marriage and Partnerships. In mythology, Juno symbolizes the heart of intimate relationships, reflecting commitment and balance. This beautiful alignment highlights the value of mutual respect and harmony in love. Take advantage of this energy to deepen emotional bonds, foster trust, and strengthen your connection with your partner. It’s a perfect moment to embrace romance and nurture the foundation of a lasting, authentic relationship.
On February 18th, the energy of the month changes as the Sun enters Pisces. As we leave behind the more detached emotions and air driven thoughts and ideas of Aquarius, Pisces guides us through the next month with compassion, creativity and imagination.
Pisces season brings a spiritual and mystical energy, as well as a time of heightened intuition. Not only does Pisces season mark the end of winter, but it is also the last sign of the entire zodiac year, bringing together all the wisdom of all the signs that came before. It prepares us for the spring equinox and a more energetic lifestyle as we anticipate the excitement of new beginnings. Take advantage of this season and create quiet time for yourself. Seek knowledge from within, focusing on your inner self. Carve out time during the day for meditation, daydreaming, and journaling your feelings.
On February 20th, the Moon will be in her 4th Quarter phase in Sagittarius. This is the halfway point between the Full Moon and the New Moon. During this phase, we have already realized what is important. We now want to reevaluate and reorganize our ideas and beliefs. You will want to take care of things you have been putting off and work on wrapping things up. It is a time of cleaning house. Release any negativity or whatever is holding you back from accomplishing your goals.
On February 23rd, Mars finally stations direct in Cancer. Since the start of the Mars retrograde in December, most likely, many of us have felt stuck in a state of limbo. Despite our best efforts to move forward, obstacles seemed to block progress, leaving us feeling unmotivated, trapped in repetitive thoughts, or struggling to express emotions. For many, this period has been marked by frustration and emotional confusion.
With Mars now moving direct, it’s time to let go of lingering negativity and reclaim momentum. Projects and plans that felt stalled can gain traction once more. Since Mars is direct in Cancer, emotions will fuel your actions. This is an opportunity to channel your feelings constructively. Let your emotions inspire courage, strengthen your resolve, and guide you toward creating security and stability in both your personal and professional life.
Mercury and Saturn will be conjunct in Pisces on February 25th. Saturn brings a serious and responsible tone to your thought processes and communication style. It provides a natural ability to really focus and have self-discipline in areas that require structure and precision. This is a great time for studying, learning something new, or tackling complex topics. With the patience and fortitude it provides, you’ll find it easier to put in the hours to help you stay on track toward your goals.
We close the month with a New Moon in Pisces on February 27th. This lunar phase is a powerful time to set intentions, meditate on your goals, and envision what you’d like to achieve over the next four weeks. It marks a fresh start and the perfect opportunity to embrace new beginnings and plant the seeds for future growth.
Since this New Moon is in a water sign, use your intuition and instinct in setting new goals and priorities. You’ll find that ideas will sometimes just come out of nowhere. Don’t ignore these intuitive sparks. Be open to what your inner being is trying to tell you. I see this particular New Moon as focusing on your life’s purpose and how you can be of service to others. How can you use the creativity and compassion of Pisces in your life to best help others?
February offers a harmonious blend of reflection, passion, and renewed momentum. With Pisces guiding us through themes of creativity, intuition, and compassion, this is a month to nurture your inner world while moving forward with clarity and emotional purpose. Take advantage of the supportive energies to strengthen connections, set fresh intentions, and trust the quiet wisdom that emerges from within. Let this peaceful, imaginative month inspire your next steps toward growth and transformation.
