Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this horoscope. I hope that you are happy and safe where you are.
I made this video about the energy of February :)
There’s quite a bit going on this week! Things are really beginning to get moving for us all personally but also collectively. I would imagine this week we really begin to see some massive geopolitical changeovers and movements which will likely continue into February. I could talk your ear off about the pending civil war at the border or the mounting case against Israel and the US forming in international courts… but I will spare you. This month may blow the lid off of what we’ve seen so far.
And just a reminder that all of the planets are direct so this should feel like quite a bit more momentum than we’ve been accustomed to. Saturn is out of shadow, Jupiter is now really moving ahead… Movement is imminent through new story lines forming in our lies.
Also to share ahead of time… there is a very interesting aspect coming at the very end of the month that I wanted to make y’all aware of. Saturn has been in Pisces since March 7th of last year, and since then we haven’t had the Sun and Saturn meeting up for a conjunction until February 28th and 29th (this year is a leap year!) ~ the reason this is a big deal is because it will be with Mercury at 9* Pisces. This is looking like a big revelation if not a sobering moment towards the end of this month so keep that in mind as this month picks us up and swings us around.
Monday, Mercury will move into Aquarius and into a conjunction with Pluto which is a lot about what this Pluto in Aquarius transit is going to be about. This could come in the form of some news about something or also could bring fears that we have to the surface or in our dreams so that we can face them. This can be very profound like a mental shift or a breakthrough depending on your chart and your mindset ~ pay attention to Monday for the themes that this month especially will be about.
Chiron has a few aspects being made to it as it edges closer to the North Node in Aries ~ they’re within a degree of each other right now so there is a bit of a discomfort that we’re all kinda wading through in individual areas of our lives… look at the house in your astrology chart that you have Aries or check out the horoscope I did last week for subscribers :)
Venus in Capricorn will be making a square in Chiron in Aries which could make us feel like we have a long way to go, this can be kind of vulnerable and we may be more sensitive to criticism than normal especially about Venusian things like our relationships, money and appearance. This is thankfully a fleeting aspect that will resolve in a few days but this can be quite uncomfortable as Venus in Capricorn shines a light on what Chiron in Aries is digging up for us.
The Sun in Aquarius also makes a sextile towards Chiron which indicates that in the same breath as feeling uncomfortably “on display,” there are people around us who really understand us and accept us for the oddballs we are. This creates a feeling of being validated and acknowledged playing out.
On Tuesday, Venus in Capricorn will make a square to the North and South Nodes which can be a frustrating aspect in a sense. The Nodes are aligned with our destiny and can pull us in directions and towards fated events in our lives and when a planet squares the Nodes it’s like we can feel into just how far we have to go to feel like we’re “aligned” or there can be some distractions that come up that seem to make it feel like we’re off path.
The Sun in Aquarius, alternatively, will be in a supportive sextile to the North Node in Aries on Tuesday which can bring a feeling of illumination, alignment and meeting people who are supportive on your path forward.
The moon also moves into Capricorn on Tuesday as well which will move into a connection with Venus and Mars as they each prepare to meet up with each other in Aquarius on February 22nd, for the first time since spring of 2022. This moon in Capricorn will be quite eventful on Wednesday and Thursday as it squares the nodal axis and Chiron in addition to connecting with Venus and Mars. This moon in Capricorn is also a dark moon in addition to being in detriment so it’s a bit vulnerable~ we see the shadow traits of the sign in the phase prior to the new moon come up a lot which *can* be having to do with taking power or the ends justifying the means.
On Wednesday, cosmic lovers Mars and Venus, both in Capricorn are both making some positive aspects. Venus will trine Uranus in Taurus which can bring about an unexpected turn of events or potential surprises as it connects to our appearances, relationships and financial lives. Mars will sextile Neptune in Pisces which can definitely lean in the escapist direction but otherwise, our actions should feel pretty guided and naturally so.
On Thursday, the moon moves into Aquarius and wanes all the way to its new phase on Friday. Also on Thursday, the Sun will be in its square to Uranus in Taurus which will still be in effect on the new moon Friday. Thursday and Friday lead into some surprising or shocking changes that come out of nowhere. This could be a lightbulb moment that brings you to an awareness of needing to start something new or sever from something that has overstayed its welcome in your life.
This new moon could be discombobulating or disorienting and it’s good to be wary of mistakes, accidents… and I think the overarching message this week is also to not be discouraged by the way that things appear as they will quickly change in the coming weeks. This, for many, will be the new moon will be what tips them over the edge so they’re able to break free from a situation that seems impossible to break free from.
Remember the themes that come up through it because the train of Aquarius planets (Mercury on February 5th, Mars on February 13th, Venus on February 16th) are also going to square Uranus during their transit. I will be writing much more about this as the month transpires.
Saturday, Mercury in Aquarius will be squaring Jupiter which actually sets a very humorous and positive tone but it can be a day where it feels like there’s a lot pulling us in different directions. It’s giving mad scientist energy the last half of the week with Saturday being no exception. We’re headed into an extremely Aquarian, heady, detached but still passionate type of time.
Saturday, the moon will move into Pisces and into a connection with Saturn, so great Saturday for spiritual ceremony, reflection as well as seeing what needs to be done and attending to it. The moon will move off Saturn by Sunday and headed towards Neptune so Sunday will be a bit more dreamy and it might be a bit harder to concentrate but our creativity will be very heightened as we energetically recover from such a spark plug of a new moon.
