New month, new you, Aquarius! Yours starts off strong with the New Moon in Aquarius on February 1. This is your yearly cosmic re-birth—it’s time to operate from a fresh slate. How do you want to be perceived? Own it and step into your power now! This New Moon is also having a stressful conversation with Uranus in Taurus, so it’s likely that this newfound sense of self may feel like it will bring up tensions with close family members. Maybe you’re eager to share more of yourself and your life experience than some family members are comfortable with, or you’re reinventing yourself in a way that is more authentically aligned with who you want to be...but may make others uncomfortable. That’s called projection, sweet pea—don’t worry about the haters. Just trust in your inner self-knowledge and your right to be exactly who you are meant to be!
You’re been sorting through some heavy themes underneath the surface as Mercury Retrograde moves through your 12th house of closure, rest, and self-undoing. On February 3, Mercury goes direct in Capricorn! All of your reflection and shadow work is about to pay off. You’ve been processing any self-destructive behaviors and now it’s time to leave them in the dust. On February 4, you may feel a little extra burdened by how many people are seeking your advice or attention. The Sun and Saturn, your ruling planet, meet for their annual sync, and responsibility is the name of the game. What’s most important is that you don’t sacrifice any sense of who you are under this planetary meet-up. You’re in a position of authority for a reason.
Pay attention to your dreams and what comes to you during meditation on February 11, when Mercury and Pluto mingle. These two planets tend to reveal secrets when they work together. Some piece of information buried deep within your subconscious may reemerge. If you’re overwhelmed by what’s bubbling to the surface, try journaling and make sure to prioritize your rest.
On February 16, your focus lands on your relationships with the Full Moon in Leo. You can operate from a detached place, especially when it comes to your emotions, and this Full Moon is here to remind you to feel deeply into what’s in your heart center. Your authenticity, your needs, and your passion—within relationships and outside relationships—matter. Full Moons bring endings to cycles and this one will either end a chapter completely or send it in a new, more serious direction. There is a touch of destiny in the air under this Full Moon as it also connects with the Nodes of Fate. On February 17, Jupiter in Pisces meets with Uranus in Taurus, which may bring some emotional reassurance and comfort from family. Opportunity and luck arrive, but there is a shift and expansion in the way you own your self-worth and see your value.
Your finances, resources, and values take up the bulk of your mental energy as the Sun enters Pisces on February 18. It’s time to prioritize thinking deeper about your monthly income, investments, and even your 401k. Getting financially organized will help create the foundation you need for your creative pursuits to take off. This is also a wonderful time to practice some mirror work and focus on your self-worth. Repeating positive affirmations in the mirror, in the present tense, is a magical practice that will boost your manifesting power. You might accidentally hurt some feelings on February 24 when Mercury in Aquarius forms a square with Uranus in Taurus. This is a day to think before you speak, especially when it comes to your family. Any comment can be misconstrued. Sudden breakthroughs may also take place, but be on the look out for unnecessary oversharing and word vomit.
