February
February
February is a month of quiet shifts and forward motion, carrying the seeds of change that will blossom as the year unfolds. The month begins with Imbolc on the 2nd, the ancient festival of light and renewal, marking the midpoint between winter and spring. On the 3rd, we reach the astrological Imbolc as the Sun crosses 15° Aquarius, reminding us that transformation often happens gradually, like the lengthening of daylight.
On the 4th, Venus enters Aries, bringing a bold and direct approach to relationships, creativity, and desires. This is a time to take the initiative, whether in love or passion projects. The same day, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, ending his four-month retrograde. Expansion and learning start moving forward again, and opportunities that may have felt stalled since last autumn begin to regain momentum.
The Full Moon in Leo on the 12th is a moment of self-expression and visibility. Leo invites us to celebrate our uniqueness, and this lunation may bring revelations about your personal creativity, leadership, or heartfelt desires. If you’ve been holding back, this is the time to step forward with courage!
On the 14th, Mercury moves into Pisces, shifting communication from the rational and structured to the intuitive and poetic. This placement enhances dreams, spiritual insights, and creative expression but can also make conversations feel more fluid and less direct. If you’re seeking clarity, be patient, sometimes understanding comes through feeling rather than over thinking.
The Sun enters Pisces on the 18th, deepening the themes of sensitivity, imagination, and surrender. This is the final sign of the zodiac, where we integrate the lessons of the past year and prepare for a new cycle. It’s a time to listen to your inner wisdom, let go of what no longer serves, and embrace the unknown, the unfolding.
On the 24th, Mars moves direct in Cancer, a long-awaited shift. Emotional energy that’s been held back or turned inward can be expressed outwardly now. This can bring resolution to family matters, home projects, or deeply personal goals that needed time to develop.
The month ends with a New Moon in Pisces on the 28th, inviting deep reflection and new beginnings rooted in intuition and trust. This is an ideal time for setting intentions related to healing, creativity, and spiritual growth. What dreams are calling you forward?
February’s astrology is gentle but powerful, reminding us that even the smallest shifts can change your course. Let intuition lead, embrace the return of light, and trust that you’re moving in the right direction.
