Previous New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 18th
The late Capricorn New Moon from mid-January initiated a dramatic lunation cycle that continues to activate your sixth sector of work, daily routines, health, and systems of organization. This lunation emphasizes responsibility, efficiency, and the structures supporting your day-to-day life, and sets the tone for February. With multiple planets grouped in Capricorn, affecting habits, obligations, or workload, also your relationships, you are implicitly looking for new solutions to complexities of life purpose and partnership interactions. With Uranus and Saturn–Neptune additionally featured, adjustments may very well be required as old routines dissolve and new approaches take shape. This lunation cycle invites a reassessment of how you manage time, energy, and labor, more sustainable ways of navigating daily life, and a thorough-going transformation of your relationship dynamic that comes with the growth of new ways of seeing and (re)acting.

Full Moon in Leo – Feb 1st
The Leo Full Moon has great emphasis for you as it occurs in your own sign and first sector of identity, embodiment, and self-expression, illuminating personal needs, desires, and visibility, and is opposed by a large-scale stellium of five planets in your seventh sector of partnerships. This potent lunation could highlight the balance between self-focus and your relationship activities and support. Emotions could become heightened, and awareness around how you show up in close connection to important others is amplified. You benefit from paying attention to patterns of behavior in both relational and individualistic realms, seeking where authenticity asks to be honored without overshadowing the needs or perspectives of others.

Saturn Conjunct Neptune – Jan 24th-Mar 7th
This is one of the most significant configurations of the year and a defining influence for you this entire month activating your ninth sector of beliefs, worldview, education, and long-range vision. Saturn and Neptune in their close 0° Aries conjunction, exact on February 20th, represent a collision and combining of antithetical archetypes. This aspect marks a potent threshold where ideals meet reality. You may notice disillusionment around belief systems, philosophies, or paths of study that once provided direction. A keyword for Saturn–Neptune references illusions that disintegrate “deception (or self-deception) unmasked.” At the same time, this transit supports the gradual formation of a more integrated worldview, one that balances inspiration with lived experience. Clarity unfolds slowly, asking for patience, discernment, and staying open to reshaping your understanding of purpose, resilience amid uncertainty.

Uranus Stations Direct – Feb 3rd
Uranus stations direct in Taurus, activating your tenth sector of career, leadership, and public life. There are implications too for energizing your social arrangements and future goals. Developments related to professional direction or reputation could also crop up in unexpected ways. This is Uranus’ final station in Taurus before its move into Gemini later this spring, emphasizing a period of integration. You benefit by considering what you have learned over the past several years about autonomy, innovation, and visibility, how those lessons may have been formative, and can continue to be applied in reshaping your public and societal role.

Mercury Enters Pisces – Feb 6th
Mercury enters Pisces or your eighth sector of shared resources, intimacy, and psychological depth. Your thought process may become more intuitive and emotionally nuanced, though less linear. This is a supportive time for reflection, research, or meaningful conversations, but less ideal for rigid plans. You might need to beware emotional undercurrents and unspoken dynamics.

Venus Enters Pisces – Feb 10th
Venus moves into Pisces the sign of her exaltation and your eighth solar sector, softening emotional exchanges and deepening intimacy. This transit supports compassion, forgiveness, and healing within close bonds. Financial or emotional support may feel more accessible now, though clarity around boundaries remains important.

Mercury Pre-shadow – Feb 11th
Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in your eighth sector of intimacy and personal evolution, potentially exhibiting in mild form the usual symptoms of missed connections and efforts gone awry, and signaling the approach of its upcoming retrograde. This is an early cue to review shared financial arrangements, emotional agreements, and deeper commitments.

Saturn Enters Aries – Feb 13th
Saturn enters Aries and your ninth sector of beliefs, education, and long-range direction, beginning a new two-and-a-half-year chapter of intellectual and philosophical maturation. Saturn here asks for discipline in learning, discernment in belief, and accountability around how you seek and form meaning. You may feel called to formalize study, commit to a path of teaching or learning, or refine a worldview that better aligns with your lived, authentic experience. Progress favors steady effort, sovereignty, dedicated practice, and humility.

Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – Feb 17th
The Solar Eclipse New Moonin Aquarius activates your seventh sector of partnerships, contracts, and significant one-to-one relationships. Eclipses bring intense turning points, and this one may coincide with shifts in commitments, alliances, or how you relate to others. With Uranus tightly squaring the Sun and Moon, events may feel sudden or destabilizing. Staying flexible and open to renegotiation can help you navigate relational changes that invite greater authenticity.

Sun Enters Pisces – Feb 18th
As the Sun enters Pisces, attention turns again to your eighth sector of intimacy, shared resources, and emotional transformation. This is a quieter, more inward phase that supports reflection, healing, and integration. You may feel drawn to process deeper emotional material or reassess where you invest energy and trust.

Venus Trine Jupiter – Feb 21st-23rd
Venus in your eighth sector forms a supportive trine to Jupiter in your twelfth sector of rest, healing, and inner renewal. This is one of the more supportive and restorative transits of the month, and for you it’s highlighting two sectors that are more about inner life and tending to your emotions and inner processes. Emotional support, forgiveness, or quiet moments of grace may arrive through private conversations, retreat, or spiritual practice. You may absorb the nourishment of this aspect by allowing rest and compassion to soften what has felt heavy and by tending lovingly to your inner world.

Mercury Stations Retrograde – Feb 25th
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, backtracking through your eighth sector until March 20th. Arrangements around finances, intimacy, or shared responsibilities may require revision. Missed connections and mechanical breakdowns could show up, or an outcome require two or three time to get it right. Rather than push for closure or undertake brand-new ventures, this is a better time to review agreements, clarify expectations, and deepen understanding

Mars Square Uranus – Feb 24th-28th
The month closes with Mars in your seventh sector squaring Uranus in your tenth, heightening tension between relational dynamics and public or professional demands. Conflicts or frustrations could surface and accidents are not unknown to happen. If autonomy feels constrained or expectations clash, it might be best to move ahead slowly and with calm, as this volatile energy benefits from conscious pacing and clear communication. With awareness, you can catalyze needed changes around how to balance partnership inputs with the impulse of your own personal authority.
