Here is our astrological forecast for February! Every week we discuss lunar transits, but today we are going to discuss what the other planets have in store for us for the month of February. The sun is moving into Pisces and Venus is going to be busier than usual this month. I guess that makes sense since we are getting ready to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Venus rules over our romantic inclinations. Plus the planet is named for the Roman goddess of love.
Enjoy this lovely tune as you read about what the planets have in store for us this month!
February 1st-7th
The Sun is Square Uranus
Under this square, we are hasty in our speech and actions. We make impulsive decisions, particularly in terms of romance. Our risky behavior can lead to physical injuries and emotional pain. Normally, overthinking can be detrimental to our well-being. But during this transit, thinking long and hard about our actions and decisions may be the best course of action.
Venus is Square Mars
As I said in the introduction, Venus rules our amorous tendencies, and Mars rules our passion and willpower. And when these celestial lovers square off, our passions run wild. You may experience a lot of sexual tension at this time. If you find yourself at odds with your partner, try to resist falling for the charms of another.
Mercury is Sextile Neptune
This sextile gives us pure mental clarity. These planets inspire our creativity and whimsical endeavors. With these two celestial bodies working together in harmony, our imagination knows no bounds. We have a great appreciation and desire for art and the written word. Now is an ideal time to go to a museum, paint a portrait, or dabble in poetry. This innovative sextile will last for one day.
February 8th-14th
Venus is Sextile Uranus
Uranus rules our innovation and vision. When it forms a sextile with Venus, we become more open to the idea of love. We may feel more alert and excited at this time. Under this sextile, we are more inclined to meet new people, take on artistic projects, and indulge in the sweet pleasures of life.
Mercury is Conjunct Pluto
Mercury governs our communication and technical prowess and Pluto rules our subconscious and our secrets. When these planets form a conjunction, those who are close to us may feel compelled to tell us their secrets. Our darker, more sensual side may awaken under this aspect. We may feel things more intensely, so it is important to banish negativity and focus on the things that bring you joy.
Mercury is in Aquarius
Ooh this is a fun transit. When communicative Mercury resides in free-spirited Aquarius, our intuition and creativity flourish. Our abstract thinking and friendly nature will attract new friends. We have a strong need for independence.
February 15th-21st
Venus is Conjunct Neptune
Neptune rules our dreams, ideals, and psychic proclivities. And when it forms a conjunction with Venus we tend to idealize our partners and build up our romantic crushes a bit too much. If you are single, you may entertain the idea of entering into a secret romance. Now is a great time to channel our amorous desires into our art.
The Sun is Conjunct Saturn
The sun rules our vitality and Saturn rules our work ethic and our discernment. When these planets form a conjunction, that means that it is time to restructure our lives and get our careers in order. These celestial bodies want you to work hard, especially if you are up for a promotion. But don’t take on more than you can handle. Know your limits.
Mercury is Sextile Jupiter
Jupiter rules our fortune and our philosophical and spiritual ideologies. When it forms a sextile with Jupiter, we feel cheerful, imaginative, and intellectual. At this time, we prefer deep meaningful conversations over small talk. We are eager to travel and study new philosophies. Expect positive outcomes by interacting with doctors and lawyers.
The Sun is in Pisces
As I said earlier in the article, the sun governs our energy and vitality. When it resides in sweet-natured Pisces, we feel more creative and imaginative. We may have a greater appreciation for music at this time. Our empathy may increase and we may feel more sensitive to the needs of others. However, because we feel more sensitive, our feelings may be easily hurt. Anyone who has psychic tendencies may feel an increase in their abilities and intuition.
Venus Is Sextile Pluto
At this time, we feel particularly passionate and successful. We feel open-minded and attracted. We are eager to meet new people.
Venus is in Aries
What happens when the planet of love and sensuality dances into passionate and fiery Aries? Well, don’t be surprised if you feel more adventurous in the bedroom as well as out of the bedroom. At this time we will have a greater appreciation for the individual beauty of those around us. We will also have a greater appreciation for art. However, be careful when entertaining the thought of entering into a romantic affair.
Mercury Is Square Uranus at 10:23 PM
When Mercury and Uranus square off, it can cause an emotional tornado. Under this trine, we are edgy and reckless. We feel unpredictable and temperamental when interacting with others. These planets are also making us unreasonable and, much to Spock’s chagrin, illogical. We can be so hasty with our plans and projects, that we can not carry them out to fruition. Take your time with your intentions. If you rush them, they will surely fail.
February 22nd-28th
Mercury Is Trine Mars
Under this trine, we feel creative, enthusiastic, and mentally alert. We hold conversations well and tend to get along with everyone, especially children. We feel up for anything at this time. However, do not let anyone take advantage of your good attitude and enthusiasm.
