This is yet another wild month of February, Sagittarius, as the outer planet emphasis of recent months continues. Transformational Pluto is again featured in January’s mid-month late Capricorn New Moon, in which the Moon, out of bounds, is parallel Pluto, while Jupiter, your sign’s ruler, is contra-parallel to Pluto. Thus, over the thirty days of this current lunation cycle, including the first two weeks of February, your sector of communicative outreach, also your sector of curiosity and learning, is going through major evolutionary changes. Neptune is also on the edge of Aries, about to re-enter, and to conjoin Saturn there as well, implying complexities for your creative self-expression. Uranus is at 27 and ½ degrees of Taurus, thus quite near the 0° mark of Gemini, or your relationship sector, signaling that the Trickster archetype is alive and well and affecting the important partnerships in your life. Unexpected events and surprise revelations there may follow. As far as the additional lunations of February, they are also a bit wild and unpredictable. As the month gets underway, the Leo Full Moon of February 1st highlights the Aquarius sign of your communications sector with a concentration of planets there, a stellium of five, including the Sun, opposed to the Moon in your higher mind sector covering beliefs and worldview. The axis of these two sectors speaks primarily to mental process in service to higher mind, and yet the connection between mind and heart is also implicit in the potent Neptune position. Neptune lies in conjunction with Saturn, on the edge of your fifth sector of creative self-expression and aspected by the Full Moon. The final major lunation of the February month, the Solar Eclipse on the 17th taking place in the late degrees of the Aquarius sign, thus impacting once again your communicative outreach, with implications as well for your home and family sector, brings to greater consciousness the workings and implicit metamorphosis involved with your own deep psychological development in this early spring timing of profound change.
The following was written by our in-house astrologer, Leslie Benson. You can find her here.
Previous New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 18th
The late Capricorn New Moon continues to activate your second sector of resources, values, income, and self-worth, setting the tone for the first two weeks of the month around stability and material grounding. Your third sector of communicative outreach is also affected. This lunation emphasized responsibility in how you manage finances, energy, and personal priorities. With multiple planets stacked up in Capricorn, your attention may be feeling tugged toward long-term security and the systems that support it. Aspects to Uranus and Saturn–Neptune suggest that changing circumstances may be reshaping your sense of your most sincere values, along with your creativity, in new and important ways.
Full Moon in Leo – Feb 1st
The Leo Full Moon illuminates your ninth sector of beliefs, learning, travel, and expanded perspective, opposing a strong Aquarius stellium in your third sector of communication and learning. You may feel pulled between a big-picture vision and the minutiae of logistics or practical concerns. This lunation highlights how you form overarching beliefs and what areas of learning you are being called toward. Emotional intensity may color conversations. You benefit from paying close attention to where your perspective can widen, while also attending to nuance and detail.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune – Jan 24th-Mar 7th
This is one of the most significant configurations of the whole year and a very influential signature for you this entire month. Saturn and Neptune, in close conjunction all month long, activate your fifth sector of creativity, self-expression, pleasure, and desire. This conjunction, exact on February 20th, marks a profound threshold where inspiration meets practical limits, and dissolution meets structure. You may notice uncertainty around creative direction, romantic dynamics, or what genuinely brings you joy. At the same time, this transit supports the slow emergence of a more authentic relationship with pleasure and self-expression. Ideally this time can invite you into a whole new conversation with your desires and inner compass, one that is rooted in your own devotion to your authentic expression. This dynamic unfolds gradually, and asks for patience, steadfastness, and passionate dedication to your own creative spark.
Uranus Stations Direct – Feb 3rd
Uranus stations direct in Taurus, activating your sixth sector of work, health, and daily routines. Surprising developments may arise during this week around relationships and partnership dynamics, also schedules, workload, and everyday responsibilities. This is Uranus’ final station in Taurus before its move into Gemini later this spring, emphasizing a time of integration. You may want to consider what the past several years have taught you about embodiment, resilience, and adopting habits and routines to support your vitality.
Mercury Enters Pisces – Feb 6th
Mercury enters Pisces and your fourth sector of home, family, and emotional foundations. Mental focus may become more diffuse, favoring intuition and reflection over logic. This is a supportive time for emotional conversations or reconnecting with your inner landscape, though clarity around logistics may require extra care.
Venus Enters Pisces – Feb 10th
Venus ingresses into Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, and your fourth sector, softening emotional edges and bringing warmth to home and family dynamics. This transit supports compassion, forgiveness, and the creation of emotional refuge. You may feel drawn to beautify your space or nurture deeper emotional connections.
Mercury Pre-shadow – Feb 11th
Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase, also in your fourth sector, signaling the slow approach of its upcoming retrograde. You could begin to see early symptoms of the retrograde such as missed connections or incomplete projects. This is an early cue to revisit conversations around home, family, or emotional needs, and to remain flexible as inner themes continue to evolve throughout the month.
Saturn Enters Aries – Feb 13th
Saturn enters Aries and your fifth sector of creativity, pleasure, and self-expression, beginning a new two-and-a-half-year chapter of maturation around joy and desire. Saturn here asks for sincerity, commitment, and responsibility in how you create and express yourself. You may feel called to take creative work more seriously or to clarify what truly inspires you. Progress favors disciplined passion and authenticity over excess or distraction.
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – Feb 17th
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius activates your third sector of communication, learning, and local environment. Your home and family scene could also be affected, increasing your focus there. Eclipses bring powerful turning points, and this one may coincide with profound shifts in how you think, speak, or access information including within your home environment. With the Sun and Moon tightly squaring Uranus, novel partner situations could come up. Insights could also arrive suddenly, prompting new ways of seeing or understanding familiar situations or patterns. Staying open and adaptable allows mental patterns to update organically, and you may wish to be selective about the media and information you consume during this time.
Sun Enters Pisces – Feb 18th
As the Sun enters Pisces, additional attention comes to your fourth sector of home, emotional grounding, and inner life. This brings energy that could support reflection, creativity, and emotional integration. You may feel drawn to tend to your private world, clean house, or revisit family dynamics.
Venus Trine Jupiter – Feb 21st-23rd
Venus in your fourth sector of home and family forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in your eighth sector of intimacy, shared resources, and emotional depth. This is one of the most supportive transits of the month. Emotional honesty, trust, and deeper connection can feel more accessible now. Nourishing bonds and shared understanding may strengthen through vulnerability and mutual care.
Mercury Stations Retrograde – Feb 25th
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, backtracking through your fourth sector until March 20th. You might find yourself reviewing and revisioning home or family patterns. Conversations related to home, family, or emotional needs could also require revision or reflection. Rather than push for external resolutions, this is a better time to revisit inner narratives and emotional patterns.
Mars Square Uranus – Feb 24th-28th
The month closes with Mars in your third sector squaring Uranus in your sixth sector, potentially heightening tension between mental activity, information overload, and your wellbeing, or perhaps providing inspiration for creative projects. Restlessness or irritability may arise, and you may benefit from reassessing technology use or screen time. Accidents could arise. This volatile energy responds well to mindful pacing, physical movement, and presence with intense urges or emotions as they arise. With awareness, you can catalyze healthier ways of balancing thought, information intake, action, and overall mental health and wellbeing.
