1st February
Full Moon in Leo
We begin on February 1st with a Full Moon in Leo, illuminating our need for authentic self-expression and allowing creativity to flow. Leo energy is all about stepping into the spotlight, honouring your unique gifts, and standing proudly in your light This Full Moon asks us all to examine where we've been dimming our brilliance or holding back from showing up fully as ourselves.
Under this theatrical moon, emotions run high and hearts beat louder and you could feel a strong urge to be seen, appreciated, and recognised for your hard work or participation. This is an excellent time to complete creative projects, celebrate personal achievements, or simply allow yourself to shine unapologetically. The Full Moon also highlights themes around romance, play, and joy. Think about where you’ve been taking life too seriously? This Moon reminds us that pleasure and playfulness are not frivolous but essential to our wellbeing.
However. Leo's shadow side can also manifest as ego-driven behavior or a desperate need for validation. The invitation here is to find confidence that comes from within rather than from external applause. True self-expression flows from an authentic connection to your heart, not from a need to impress others.
February 4th
Uranus Direct in Taurus
On February 4th, Uranus stations direct in Taurus after months of retrograde motion, unleashing innovative energy around our resources, values, and sense of security. Uranus, the planet of revolution and awakening, has been shaking up the stable foundations of Taurus since 2018, and its direct motion signals a green light for implementing the changes we've been contemplating.
This shift may bring sudden breakthroughs in financial matters, unexpected opportunities for income, or revolutionary ideas about how you relate to material possessions. Uranus in Taurus challenges us to break free from outdated economic systems and create new paradigms around sustainability, worth, and abundance. You might feel inspired to experiment with investments in innovative technologies or completely restructure your relationship with money.
On a personal level, this transit encourages paths to free us from stubborn patterns and embrace flexibility, be more bendy. Taurus energy naturally resists change, but Uranus demands evolution and in the strongest voice possible. His direct motion supports taking tangible steps toward the unconventional paths that have been calling to you for some time now. Trust the unexpected detours and embrace the freedom that comes from releasing rigid attachments to how things "should" be.
February 6th
Mercury into Pisces
Mercury swishes into the mystical waters of Pisces on February 6th, shifting our mental processes from linear logic to intuitive knowing. In Pisces, Mercury thinks in poetry, dreams, and symbols. Communication becomes fluid, compassionate, and imaginative, though perhaps less precise.
This transit is beautiful for creative writing, spiritual study, and conversations that touch the soul rather than just the intellect. You may find yourself expressing ideas through metaphor, connecting with others on an empathic level, or receiving insights through meditation and dreamwork. Mercury in Pisces dissolves boundaries, allowing us to tap into collective consciousness and understand perspectives beyond our own.
The challenge is maintaining clarity and avoiding confusion or deception and with Neptune’s recent visit to Pisces, there's a tendency toward rose-coloured thinking or getting lost in fantasy, something his recent move is looking to clear up. So, ground your insights with practical discernment, and be mindful of miscommunications or unclear agreements during.
February 10th
Venus into Pisces
Venus enters her exalted home of Pisces on February 10th, where love becomes transcendent, compassionate, and unconditional. This is one of the most romantic and spiritually connected placements for Venus, inviting love as a divine force rather than a transaction.
Under this influence, relationships deepen through vulnerability, artistic expression flourishes, and our capacity for forgiveness expands. Venus in Pisces sees the soul in everyone and loves without boundaries. This can manifest as increased empathy, a desire to serve others, or a longing for soulmate connections that transcend the mundane.
This transit is exquisite for creative pursuits, especially music, dance, film, and visual arts. Beauty becomes a spiritual practice, and we're drawn to experiences that transport us beyond ordinary reality, deepen your love affair with meditation! Romance takes on a dreamy, fairy-tale quality, though it's important to maintain healthy boundaries and avoid losing yourself completely in another person.
February 14th
Saturn into Aries
February 14th marks one of the month's most significant shifts as Saturn, the planet of structure and responsibility, enters fiery Aries for the first time in many years, well, apart from a little nosey about last year. This is a major three-year cycle beginning, fundamentally changing how we approach leadership, courage, and individual action.
Saturn in Aries asks us to develop independence and take responsibility for blazing our own trails, to be totally grown up. Where Saturn in Pisces taught us about spiritual surrender and compassion, Saturn in Aries demands that we find the courage to stand alone, initiate bold ventures, and develop self-reliance. This transit tests our ability to be pioneers while maintaining discipline and a longer term vision.
On a collective level, we may see themes around redefining leadership, establishing new frameworks for individual rights, and taking responsibility for personal action. The warrior archetype matures under this transit, learning that true strength comes from focused discipline rather than impulsive aggression. This is a time to commit to ventures that require courage, to develop patience with our own growth process, and to build sustainable structures around pioneering visions.
February 17th
New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius
The intensity peaks on February 17th with a New Moon solar eclipse in Aquarius, opening a powerful portal for collective awakening and revolutionary new beginnings. Eclipses are cosmic wild cards that accelerate our evolution, bringing sudden changes, fated encounters, and quantum leaps forward.
This eclipse in Aquarius activates themes around innovation, community, friendship, and humanitarian progress. You may feel called to align with groups that share your vision for the future, to embrace your authenticity or to break free from conformity in radical ways. Aquarius energy is about honouring what makes you different while contributing to the collective good.
Eclipses often bring unexpected developments that redirect our path. Stay open to surprises and trust that any closures or beginnings occurring now are aligned with your soul's evolution. This is an excellent time to set intentions around social change, technological advancement, or stepping into your role as a change-maker in the most powerful way.
February 18th
Sun into Pisces
On February 18th, the Sun joins Mercury and Venus in Pisces, initiating Pisces season; a time for spiritual deepening, creative flow, and compassionate connection. With this stellium in Pisces, we're immersed in watery, intuitive energy that dissolves ego boundaries and reminds us of our interconnectedness.
Pisces season is ideal for retreat, meditation, artistic pursuits, and releasing what we've been holding onto. The focus shifts from doing to being, from achievement to surrender. Honor your need for rest, solitude, and activities that nourish your soul. This is not the time to push forward aggressively but rather to trust the current and allow divine timing to guide you.
February 20th
Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries
When disciplined Saturn merges with mystical Neptune in fiery Aries on, we encounter a paradox. This rare alignment asks us to build tangible frameworks around our visions, transforming ethereal dreams into concrete action. Aries' pioneering spirit charges this meeting with courage to manifest the impossible. Expect tensions between practicality and idealism, but also true breakthrough potential where inspiration finally finds its backbone. This transit challenges us all to become spiritual warriors, grounding cosmic consciousness in the reality of being here at this time of extraordinary shifts.
February 26th
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces
The month concludes on February 26th with Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces, it retrogrades until March 21st. Mercury retrograde periods invite us to slow down, review, and revise rather than launch new ventures. In the mystical sign of Pisces, this retrograde emphasizes spiritual reflection, creative revision, and clearing psychic or emotional debris.
This is an excellent time to revisit creative projects, reconnect with your spiritual practice, journal about dreams and intuitive hunches, or have healing conversations that remained unfinished. Be mindful of communication confusion, technological glitches, and the tendency toward escapism. Back up important files, confirm appointments, and read the fine print carefully.
Mercury retrograde in Pisces also offers a beautiful opportunity to dissolve old mental patterns, forgive past misunderstandings, and release stories that no longer serve your highest good. Use this time for introspection rather than external action.
