This is another confronting and consequential month for you, Gemini, with lots of thoughts, attitudes, and ideas available to you as you can sort them all out. There are – once again – a multiplicity of outer planet interactions, stemming astrologically from the recent late Capricorn New Moon that set the stage for the lunation cycle governing the first two weeks of the current month. This featured Mercury, your ruler, conjunct Mars and trine Uranus for great emphasis on identity and evolution. The month begins with a Leo Full Moon emphasizing communications, creativity, and the unconscious depths below the level of your conscious mind. There is a lot of bubbling energy. It is conceivable that inner wounding, likely based on ancient trauma from early childhood, could arise for greater acceptance, integration, and healing. It might help to be able to see the outline of this possibility in order to know how to deal – namely through acceptance and recognition – and which way to try to go. You may be moved to create and actualize from the standpoint of deep internal principle and also find a way to communicate this determination to others around you. It takes courage to stand up for yourself and there is also the potential for over-doing in this regard, so that a tricky place is reached of applying yourself and being able to articulate your truth, and yet not going too far or too furious in doing so. Although this might seem confusing, it isn’t just you; if anyone you know is not confused and on the edge of being shattered, they’re just not paying attention. Later in the month, the subsequent New Moon and Solar Eclipse of the 17th calls attention to your work in the world, and to your friendships and group affiliations, along with your goals. This is where you could feel a strong commitment to a more dedicated and spiritual mode of being that yet remains practical. On the 25th, Mercury stations to retrograde movement in your career sector, and you will likely begin a process of questioning and revision with respect to the way that you take action in the physical world, with the underpinning of what is beyond the physical.

Previous New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 18th
The late Capricorn New Moon from mid-January continues to activate through the month’s first two weeks your eighth sector of shared resources, intimacy, psychological depth, and long-term commitments. This lunation emphasizes deep reflection around trust, vulnerability, and the exchange of energy, whether emotional, financial, or relational. With multiple planets grouped in Capricorn, there is a strong focus on boundaries, responsibility, and the structures underpinning your close bonds. Transformational Pluto is activated in your ninth sector of higher mind, beliefs, and worldview. Aspects to Uranus and Saturn–Neptune also suggest that intense pattern-shifts are underway. This current monthly cycle invites a deeper reckoning with what you share, reciprocity in connection, and what you are ready to transform.
Full Moon in Leo – Feb 1st
The Leo Full Moon illuminates your third sector of communication, learning, siblings, and daily interactions, while opposing a densely packed Aquarius stellium in your ninth sector of belief systems, worldview, and long-range perspective. You could feel stretched between immediate information and the bigger picture. Fact-checking and being mindful of the media you consume may be especially important now. This lunation highlights how you speak, listen, and share ideas, including over your most deeply held beliefs. Emotional intensity may color your exchanges, and the urge for your authentic voice to shine through feel undeniable.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune – Jan 24th-Mar 7th
This is one of the most significant configurations of the year and a defining influence, Saturn and Neptune conjoin in 0° Aries, exact on February 20th, and within a degree and a half all month, thus activating your eleventh sector of community, collective vision, and long-term aspirations. This conjunction marks a threshold where dreams for the future meet structure, responsibility, and grounding, and where on the other hand established limits might slip away into compassionate exceptionalism. You may perhaps encounter disillusionment around certain social roles, friendships, or group identities, or encounter the quiet emergence of an urge within you for a more authentic sense of belonging. This aspect is inherently paradoxical and can feel confusing or disorienting at times. It might help build your capacity to be with uncertainty. The rippling out of this transit might, over time, support a restructuring of your hopes and schemes, allowing you to distinguish between pursuing pre-conditioned ideals versus following your desires stemming from a deeper, more authentic level.
Uranus Stations Direct – Feb 3rd
Uranus stations direct in Taurus, activating your twelfth sector of retreat, subconscious material, and inner processing. Insights that have been forming beneath the surface could suddenly come into view with surprising clarity. This is Uranus’ final station in Taurus before it moves on into your own sign later this spring, marking an important period of integration. You benefit from noticing what you have learned about unusual perspectives, intuition, surrender, and release, and how those ideas could potentially reshape your inner landscape.
Mercury Enters Pisces – Feb 6th
Your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Pisces and your tenth sector of career, reputation, and public visibility. Mercury does not operate at its best capacity in the nebulous waters of Pisces so that thinking or decision-making could feel less linear. This is a time to pay close attention to tone, nuance, and bias, both yours and others’, especially in professional communications. While mental fog or escapist tendencies might arise, creativity and imagination can also be heightened.
Venus Enters Pisces – Feb 10th
Venus enters her exalted sign of Pisces or your tenth career sector, softening professional dynamics and opening space for creative expression or compassionate leadership. This transit supports goodwill, inspiration, and emotional intelligence in your vocational arena. This is a good time to be mindful of boundaries, especially if you observe work and personal feelings beginning to blur together.
Mercury Pre-shadow – Feb 11th
Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in your tenth sector, signaling the gradual approach of its upcoming retrograde and the possibility of early symptoms. This could be a cue to double-check professional plans, communications, and commitments ahead of Mercury’s station later in the month, on the 25th.
Saturn Enters Aries – Feb 13th
Saturn enters Aries and your eleventh sector of community, goals, and collective involvement. This begins a roughly two-and-a-half-year period of redefining your relationship to groups, networks, and future aspirations. Saturn here asks for discernment around commitments and realistic expectations of collaboration. You may feel called to take on greater responsibility within a community or to step back from connections that lack integrity or shared purpose. Progress favors steady effort, clear boundaries, and a focus on self-responsibility.
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – Feb 17th
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius activates your ninth and tenth sectors of beliefs, worldview, and travel, along with career and professional life. Eclipses bring potent turning points, and this one may coincide with shifts in perspective, study, or long-term direction. With the Sun and Moon at the top of your chart tightly squaring Uranus, events may feel sudden, revelatory, or destabilizing. It could be extremely helpful to stay open to new ideas, even as they challenge familiar narratives. Your evolving philosophy and sense of meaning are being catalyzed now, with long-term effects that can ripple out over the next six months.
Sun Enters Pisces – Feb 18th
As the Sun enters Pisces, shining a light on your tenth sector of career and visibility, public roles, responsibilities, or the topic of visibility may take center stage. This is a time to lead with sensitivity and compassion, allowing your ego attainment to play a mildly subdued and yet more active and determined role in your worldly endeavors.
Venus Trine Jupiter – Feb 21st-23rd
Venus in your tenth or career sector forms a supportive trine to Jupiter in your second sector of resources, values, and self-worth. This is one of the most beneficial windows of the month. Support, recognition, or financial opportunity may arrive through professional channels. Leaning into your core values and following what genuinely matters to you can amplify appreciation for your contributions.
Mercury Stations Retrograde – Feb 25th
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, beginning to backtrack through your tenth sector. Mercury’s retrograde period lasts until March 20th, longer with the two to three weeks of the post-retrograde shadow. Career plans or professional communications may require revision as this retrograde period unfolds. This could be a better time, rather than pushing for rapid progress, to review goals, reassess direction, and seek to refine your public message.
Mars Square Uranus – Feb 24th-28th
The month closes with Mars in your ninth sector of higher mind squaring Uranus in your twelfth sector of retreat and unconscious process, close to your solar ascendant, on also the Moon’s First Quarter in your sign. This dynamic aspect could lead to accidents if you are not careful, or passionate outbursts could also arise. There could be detectable a heightening of tensions between belief systems and unconscious patterns, or restlessness or mental agitation may come up. It may require inner detective work to see the nature of what’s being challenged in your inner architecture. This volatile energy benefits from holding back, reflection, and techniques of physical grounding. With conscious awareness, it can additionally catalyze deep insight to help liberate you from outdated mental frameworks that no longer align with who you are becoming.
