February offers a few positive cosmic options ahead of the swirl of retrogrades and eclipses in March and April. This is a month to get into slaying shape: think of it as strength training for your soul for the rest of 2025.
Rationality and reason can help protect your peace this month. With the Sun in analytical Aquarius until February 18, our brains are buzzing, and clear thinking can lead the way through anything that feels challenging or exceedingly complex.
Despite the heady atmosphere, passion and pleasure are in the air. Venus moves into hot-as-hell Aries on February 4—the same day that Jupiter stations direct in Gemini. Many love (and lust) stories could begin now as the romance planet embarks on a long journey that includes a retrograde in this spicy fire sign next month.
Speaking of fire, the full moon in Leo arrives on February 12, and because it’s square to eccentric Uranus, it’s one of those “anything goes” moments for the house in our chart ruled by the Lion. All you can expect is the unexpected. This lunation could be wildly fun or wildly destabilizing.
Mercury enters divine Pisces on Valentine’s Day, which is great for gorgeous poetry, but not so great for clear communication in relationships. Whether you’re giving your boo a heartfelt, mushy card or sending your lover a hot sext, know that you might have to repeat yourself at least once to get the message across. Use metaphors liberally for best results.
Mars finally stations direct on February 23, allowing us to exhale, knowing we have survived several months of major emotional overwhelm and exhaustion. Look to the house of your chart ruled by Cancer, and let the release and relief pour into that part of your life. Anyone whose sun, rising, or moon is in Cancer deserves a hug right now.
The new moon in Pisces arrives on the final day of the month, and the vibe is equal parts idealistic, glam, and fantasy. Set intentions for the part of your chart ruled by Pisces, thinking ahead about the dreams you want to manifest during the next six months.

The entry of Venus into Aries on February 4 deserves plenty of unpacking, as it’s going to dominate your life for months to come.

Taurus
February’s stars electrify your ambitions, Taurus. Aquarius season positions the sun in your tenth house of career and status, putting you directly in the hot lights at the front of the stage, fully on display.

This makes you crave more time alone to focus on the depths of your psyche (which is great for mental health but not so great for creating content).

Mercury enters your tenth house of career on Valentine’s Day, making ambition a major aphrodisiac. The sun follows on February 18.

Career and Money:
The sun in your partnership sector gets into a harsh argument with Uranus in your career zone on February 11, so avoid challenging conversations with your colleagues or boss leading up to this—it’s best to wait until the other side of the full moon to resume sensitive discussions about professional projects.
Love and Relationships:
Love planet Venus sashays into your ninth house of new experiences on February 4; the same day Jupiter stations direct in your social zone.

Virgo
February spells stellar success for you, Virgo. With the sun and your ruler Mercury in your work and wellness zone as the month begins, who even needs coffee? You’re raring to go, do, be, and create. Making your obligations and daily tasks into rituals can make even the most mundane to-do feel like a miracle. The full moon in your subconscious sector could hit you hard on February 12, so ramp down your work schedule and lean into self-care, naps, and meditation in the days leading up to it, if possible.

Love and Relationships:
On February 1, your romantic ruler Venus conjoins mystical, ultra-glam Neptune, making this an idyllic Saturday night. This is good for both first dates and plans with a long-time lover or partner. Throw logic out the window and connect on a spiritual level.
Scorpio
February’s stars ask you to get grounded and cozy, Scorpio. With the sun in your home zone, your ancestry and your current crash pad are on your mind. You might be thinking about decorating, renovating, moving to a new place, or expanding your family. However, work-life balance also looms large, and by the full moon in your career zone on February 12, you should enforce a bit of rest, lest you experience burnout.

Love and Relationships:
Bold Jupiter wakes up from a five month retrograde nap in your sexuality sector on February 4, enthusiastically revving up your libido. Whether you’re currently single or enjoying the fruits of cuffing season, you’ll probably want to get cozy with a lover in more ways than one.
Sagittarius
February may feel busy AF at the start, with the sun and Mercury in your third house of communication and short-distance travel. It may seem like you’re constantly messaging everyone by every means necessary, Sagittarius. Your planetary ruler Jupiter stations direct in your relationship zone on February 4, the same day that love goddess Venus enters your fifth house of pleasure and play. This can bring joy and elicit your favorite feeling: freedom. The luck planet will be in your partnership zone through June, expanding your personal and professional options.
The full moon lands in your sister fire sign on February 12, lighting up your house of higher thought, bringing resolution to a spiritual or philosophical question that’s been on your mind since late last summer. The sun enters your home zone on February 18, followed by a powerful new moon in this part of your chart on the final day of the month. Think through the next six months and set intentions for all things domestic, including family affairs, moving or decorating your current digs, or possibly a deep dive into Ancestry.com.
Career and Money:

Love and Relationships:
Mars emerges from its retrograde in your erotic energy zone on February 23, releasing any sexual frustration you’ve experienced since the passion planet reentered this part of your chart in early January. You may have just missed Valentine’s Day, but you can still put this libido-stimulating influence to the test between now and June.
Capricorn
Many resources are available to you this February, and it’s just a matter of figuring out the details. With the sun in your second house of money from the start of the month, your ambitions are heightened. Your mission? Know your value, and determine exactly what your hard work is worth. The full moon lands in your house of other people’s money on February 12, so the topic of debt and how to release it could come up. This could be karmic or monetary, but the concept is still the same—clear that slate to make room to grow.
One of the most significant moments of the month, if not the entire winter, comes on February 23, when aggressive Mars stations direct in your opposite sign of Cancer, where it may have caused some friction in your partnerships since the start of the year. The passion planet stationed retrograde in early December and reentered your relationship zone in January. But now, you can begin to heal and repair any personal or professional alliances that have gone sideways. You and the other party should both begin to see where you messed up, misplaced blame, or projected feelings onto one another. Use the lovely new moon in your communication zone to set positive intentions for talking, thinking, and texting on the final day of February. You might even send or receive a conciliatory message. Peacemaking is so back.
Career and Money:
The planet of luck and expansion exits its retrograde on February 4. It will reinvigorate your work and wellness zone and inspire you to be optimistic about your daily life. If you need a shot in the arm to face the grind, this will inspire you—and it will last until June.
Love and Relationships:
Mars is still in reverse motion on February 9, but when the passion planet makes a genial gesture to your ruler Saturn that day, you may move toward a détente with a lover or partner you’ve argued with. Lay the groundwork for Valentine’s Day, when the communication planet will make hard conversations much easier.
Aquarius
Welcome to Aquarius season, birthday star. As the month begins, both the sun and Mercury are in your inventive sign, giving you license to wave your freak flag high and accept praise for your original ideas. Venus enters your communication zone on February 4, which could start a complex conversation with (or about) a lover or crush that’ll last through the next few months. You could be briefly derailed by the full moon in your opposite sign and relationship realm on February 12, because your modern ruler Uranus is bringing an extra edge to this lunation. You may have to work out issues with a live-in lover or long-term partner that date back to last summer, but there’s a good chance you’ll both be able to let it go and move on.
After February 18, the sun leaves your sign, ending Aquarius season but moving into your money zone and starting a whole new vibe—an ambitious and lucrative one. Use the magical new moon in this part of your chart on the last day of February to set intentions for material success, increased income, and overall financial fulfillment. Be as specific as you want to be about the numbers you want to see in your bank account by late next summer.
Career and Money:
Mars stations direct in your work and wellness zone on February 23, marking a significant moment in a long and frustrating phase. If you’ve felt exhausted and annoyed by your current job and the daily grind, this should bring the shift you’ve been waiting for. Lean into healthy mind-body practices to speed up the forthcoming stress release.
Love and Relationships:
Jupiter turns back on in your fifth house of love and pleasure on February 4, where the planet of luck will expand your romantic horizons through June. If your dating life has been meh, this could be the thing to get you back on the apps or bring you back into a honeymoon phase with your boo.
Pisces
All the glitter and glam of your birthday season begins on February 18, but in the weeks leading up to it, you should take a couple of power naps, Pisces. With the sun hanging out in your subconscious sector, you’re more attuned to your psyche and mental health. The full moon releases into your sixth house of work and wellness on February 12, offering you a major opportunity to offload a huge amount of stress accumulated during the last six months so you can recalibrate your daily life. Mars stations direct in your love and creativity zone on February 23, softening any blocks you’ve experienced in love or art during the last few months. The new moon lands in your psychic stars on the month’s final day. Think of this lunation like an extra slate of birthday candles on your cosmic cake: you can wish for whatever you want to manifest during the next six months, from the personal to the professional. This is one of those moments when your wishes are the stars’ command, so be super specific with your intention-setting. Don’t just microdose this sweetness—eat the whole cake.
Career and Money:
Venus taps into your money zone on February 4, helping you to attract the cash you need. But note that the love planet will station retrograde here at the beginning of next month, so make sure all your financial actions and transactions are firm and secure.
Love and Relationships:
Mercury enters Pisces on Valentine’s Day, so if you suddenly get dozens of texts and DMs from exes, it’s because everyone wants to talk through their feelings with you to access your deep well of empathy. Remember to put on your own mask first—you don’t have to answer all these messages on demand.
