This is another powerful month of transformational intensity, Capricorn, based on the recent New Moon from mid-January in your sign, along with the position and aspects of Pluto, transformational for your second house of values, resources, and self-worth. You have already been through many years of Pluto’s activity in terms of your identity and understanding of your own evolutionary flow, and now here he comes again in this additional area, as emphasized since last spring. The recent mid-January New Moon in the last degrees of your sign calls up ideas about the current state of your identity issues and also speaks to your resources sector since that begins just a couple of degrees away. Mars and Mercury in conjunction in your sign in the recent New Moon are affecting you as well with active thoughts. This all adds up to a lot of pressure on you to look around yourself and attempt to truly understand what’s up for you in this current stage. Things within you are creating powerful changes or else storming the barricades of your resistance. At some point the energy will release and you will plunge ahead into something novel that is beyond your current status quo. Your internal principles are additionally activated now and participate in the revision of your goals to become more personally of your own deep design. The Leo Full Moon of February 1st contributes in stirring you to deeds of private significance that also have implications for matters of self and other. This as you simultaneously navigate issues of intimacy and partnership agreement in keeping with the Moon’s positioning in that sector, opposed to the Aquarius Sun. Here also, Saturn closely sextile Trickster Uranus i ensures that the unexpected event will continue to arise for you and stimulate you to engage in newer and more productive habit patterns or workplace arrangements. When the Aquarius New Moon eclipse comes along, on February 17th, and in the late degrees of the sign, it represents yet again an extremely powerful juncture that celebrates your steep learning curve toward greater authenticity. If you are being true to yourself, you can take the plunge forward, as the universe applauds. If that is not the case at this moment, there is nothing to worry about, since the universe is ultimately on your side, and you eventually will adjust.

Previous New Moon in Capricorn – Jan 18th
The Capricorn New Moon late in your sign activated your first sector of identity, embodiment, and self-direction, marking a powerful personal reset and setting the tone for this monthly cycle. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars clustered together in your sign, this lunation emphasized agency, self-definition, and the choices shaping your path forward. Your values and resources could also be in something of a fresh start. You could have felt called to clarify intentions, assert priorities, or initiate changes that reflect who you are currently becoming. Strong aspects to Uranus as well as Saturn–Neptune suggest that while old versions of self might be dissolving, new ways of inhabiting authority and authenticity are taking form. This cycle invites conscious recommitment to the structures that support your vitality and purpose.
Full Moon in Leo – Feb 1st
The Leo Full Moon illuminates your eighth sector of shared resources, intimacy, and deep psyche, opposing a strong Aquarius emphasis in your second sector of personal finances, values, and self-worth. Tension may arise around what you share versus what you hold, or how resources are treated and managed in close relationships. This lunation highlights themes of trust, reciprocity, and power dynamics. Notice where deeper truth and thoughtful renegotiation can support greater balance and your core values.
Saturn Conjunct Neptune – Jan 24th-Mar 7th
This is one of the most consequential configurations of the year and a defining influence for this entire month, both personally and collectively. Saturn, your ruling planet, is in close conjunction with Neptune at 0° Aries all month long, activating your fourth sector of home, family, emotional foundations, and domestic life. The conjunction becomes exact on February 20th. This conjunction marks a powerful threshold where long-standing inner structures may soften and dissolve, making space for a new emotional framework to emerge. You may notice uncertainty or disorientation around home life, family roles, or where you truly feel anchored. At the same time, this transit supports deep emotional restructuring, inviting compassion, forgiveness, and inspiration to dream into your ideal home space. New scaffolding and pathways unfold gradually, asking for patience and gentle tending as your sense of inner authority reorganizes from the inside out.
Uranus Stations Direct – Feb 3rd
Uranus stations direct in Taurus, activating your fifth sector of creativity, pleasure, romance, and self-expression, and influencing your sixth sector of habitual patterns also. Surprising revelations around creative projects, romantic dynamics, or sources of joy may surface during this week. This is Uranus’ final station in Taurus before its move into Gemini later this spring, emphasizing a period of integration. You may wish to reflect on how your relationship to joy, creativity, and play has evolved over the past several years, and how those lessons are reshaping how you allow yourself pleasure and expression.
Mercury Enters Pisces – Feb 6th
Mercury enters Pisces, its least favored sign, and your third sector of communication, learning, and daily exchanges. Thinking becomes more intuitive and associative, favoring storytelling, listening, and symbolic understanding over linear logic. This is a supportive time for meaningful conversations and creative thinking, though details may require extra care.
Venus Enters Pisces – Feb 10th
Venus enters Pisces, the sign of her exaltation, and your third sector, softening communication and bringing warmth to exchanges with siblings, neighbors, or your immediate environment. This transit supports compassion in dialogue, creative writing, and finding beauty and value in everyday interactions.
Mercury Pre-shadow – Feb 11th
Mercury enters its pre-shadow phase in your third sector, signaling the gradual approach of its upcoming retrograde. Early symptoms might show up, such as missed connections or mistaken statements This represents an early cue to review your communication style, contracts, schedules, or plans involving interactions and logistics.
Saturn Enters Aries – Feb 13th
Saturn enters Aries and your fourth sector of home, family, and emotional foundations, beginning a new two-and-a-half-year chapter of foundational focus. Saturn here asks for responsibility around emotional boundaries, domestic structures, and what truly provides security, both materially and internally. You may feel increased responsibility to redefine family roles, living arrangements, or your relationship to rest and privacy. Progress favors steady emotional tending, honesty, and dedicated consistency to build a foundation that can support long-term resilience.
Solar Eclipse in Aquarius – Feb 17th
The Solar Eclipse New Moon in Aquarius activates your second sector of resources, values, income, and self-worth. Your communicative outreach could also be affected. Eclipses mark intense turning points, and this one may indicate shifts around finances, earning capacity, or how you value yourself and your own contributions. With Uranus tightly squaring the Sun and Moon, developments could arrive unexpectedly, prompting innovation in how you sustain yourself materially and energetically. Staying adaptable allows you to perceive and identify how new value systems and financial approaches can take shape.
Sun Enters Pisces – Feb 18th
As the Sun enters Pisces, attention turns again to your third sector of communication, learning, and mental processing. This is a period for listening more closely, refining how you share ideas, and allowing intuition to inform decision-making. Conversations have more energy even though they might be operating in a softer, more reflective tone.
Venus Trine Jupiter – Feb 21st-23rd
Venus in your third sector of communicative outreach forms a flowing trine to Jupiter in your seventh sector of partnerships and significant relationships. This short window offers one of the most supportive transits of the month. Conversations can open doors to understanding, cooperation, and mutual growth, especially with partners and close bonds. Agreements reached now may feel more generous, hopeful, or aligned.
Mercury Stations Retrograde – Feb 25th
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, backtracking through your third sector until March 20th. Communication, travel plans, or learning processes may require revision, and you could be operating in an introspective mode, reviewing you entire communicative and mental process. This is a better time to revisit ideas, clarify misunderstandings, and refine how you express yourself rather than push for immediate conclusions or take entirely new directions.
Mars Square Uranus – Feb 24th-28th
The month begins to draw to a close with Mars in your second sector of resources squaring Uranus in your fifth sector of creative self-expression, heightening tension between financial priorities and the desire for creative freedom or pleasure. Restlessness or impulsive urges around spending or risk-taking may arise. This volatile energy benefits from conscious pacing and grounded, well-considered choices. With awareness, it can catalyze more authentic alignment between your core values, how you orient to pleasure, and express your creativity.
