Aquarius
Happy Birthday Aquarius! The sun beams down on you from above, so you better make sure you look good! Get right in February with a personal spruce. Complete important communications and contracts during the first week of the month before Mercury goes retrograde the sixth through the twenty-eighth. Rather than grandstanding during your birthday acceptance speech, turn those proclamations into appreciativeness. As for Valentine’s Day, a full moon illuminates your house of commitment. Engagement anyone? Single? This month could bring a true partner. Post-Valentine’s Day it’s time to buckle down and get back to work. This industriousness continues for the next month during which your main priorities are productivity and performance. Now is an excellent time to evaluate whether everything in your life is rising up to meet you. Take extra good care of yourself as your immunity is compromised and you are susceptible to stress and illness. Step back and engage your expansive world view to see that all these little hassles are ultimately insignificant.
Pisces
Let go Pisces! Now is the time to surrender to the intense fatigue you’re experiencing. Hibernate and look back on the last year before your birthday celebrations commence. Are there things left undone that you’ve been needling yourself to finish? When you are out and about, your interactions with others won’t feel quite right. Your first impression won’t be your best. With Mercury in retrograde in Pisces until the twelfth, resist radical change in any department. State any instructions clearly and succinctly even if it feels tedious, it will save you much disappointment later. In your friendship tribe, don’t repeat anything you don’t want repeated. If you spread gossip, you’ll be hunted down and confronted. Others will try to shift the blame your way.
Aries
Thank goodness for Aries in February because you coax the hibernators to party. This socializing has a side order of practicality attached since a few of these associations prove influential. February sends Mercury back into retrograde and you know what that means: communication breakdown, technological glitches, and the resurfacing of contacts from your past. February presents a superb opportunity to finally close the trap door to your heart’s ancient pain. Recognize this pain as a pathological block to your evolution. The remainder of the month requires a great deal of collaboration. Working with others ain’t easy, Aries. Expect the standard interpersonal drama, then add some extra hatery for a clearer picture of the anticipated group dynamic. Stay far, far away from the meaningless squabbles. Continue to clearly and patiently reiterate your expectations. So you want to know about Valentine’s Day, huh? Unattached Aries, scroll down your contacts list until a spark flies off an old friend. Committed Aries, go ballsdeep in the romance department – spare no cliché or expense.
Taurus
Charged with ambition and a new moon in your career sector, February sets forth a six month strategy for achieving major milestones, Taurus. Mercury’s retrograde makes this a miserable time for travel, technology, and clarity. Expect conflict to arise from the confusion. If things get heated, just withdraw and come back later when the energy is more conducive to resolution. Use the thrust of Mercury’s backspin to – rearrange, edit, review, and reassess. Your heart and home are lit from within this Valentine’s Day. Stay in and nest. Enjoy entertaining family and friends. The last third of the month Taurus gets more interested in socializing. Particularly adept at rounding folks up on social media, use your web reach to gather your people into one big lovefest. Watch out for untrustworthy motivations and remain skeptical. Stay off the booze.
Gemini
February is about big thinking Gemini – an expansion and broadening of your world view. Whether it’s travel, study, business, or philanthropy, Gemini wants to stretch the boundaries of your current life. With your ruler Mercury retrograde in Pisces, not all your energy will be forward moving, especially with regard to career. Finish what is left undone. Guard against saboteurs. Minimize distractions. Later this month, long term professional goals come into focus. Priorities become clearer. The last week of the month expect some relationship drama. As your confidence grows, so does conflict. Fights erupt over sex, money, and jealousy. Your special someone baits you repeatedly in an effort to get you to show that you care. You respond with emotional detachment. Happy Valentine’s Day Gemini.
Cancer
February is the time for some serious self-work. Some Cancers are so emotionally overloaded that you have to insulate in various (often destructive) ways from your own feelings. Now is the time to face your emotions, stare yourself down, and finally get a handle on your internal world. Consider this full-on permission to feel it all. Cancer exudes sexuality this February which coincides nicely with Valentine’s Day; the uptick in clinginess and jealously, not so much. Expect some tension with your partner when you assert your own needs. No legitimate reason to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the relationship except you secretly enjoy the control you assert over the arrangement. Ultimately, neither of you will benefit from such an imbalanced power dynamic. With Mercury in retrograde in your travel house, best to just stay put unless a trip proves absolutely necessary. This retrograde also means you might piss people off with a condescending comment, so spend more time listening than talking. February’s flush with cash, but save instead of spend.
Leo
Lucky Leo, the stars align for love and partnership in February. Thriving in collaboration, you generously give and thereby receive in return. February softens your ego and need for attention allowing you to temporarily share shine with others. Finances serve as potential conflict hotspots this month. Shelve any non-urgent money talks. With Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, imbalances will become apparent and a need for fairness kicks in hard. Let everyone take the time they need without bullying them into your terms. Plan a big, confident debut for Valentine’s Day. After the amorous celebrations wind down, recharge at home with a cuddle on the sofa. Lions need privacy too, especially in February. Spend extra time in bed catching up on sleep and sipping on nourishing soups as Leo suffers compromised immunity this month. In addition, the stress of a betrayal robs you of energy.
Virgo
Ready, set, organize Virgo! You are motivated with lists, plans, and goals this February, particularly in the areas of health and fitness. Quiet the chaos and return to order, and start with your own body Virgo. Mercury’s retrograde could strain relationships or cause you to overlook critical details. Review documents thoroughly and excise unnecessary stress. Valentine’s Day presents a make or break epiphany moment for your relationship. In the clear light of the full moon you see once and for all whether you can make a go of it with your sweetheart. If it is time to go, you’ll know. Distrust permeates all your relationships this month. Others perceive your concern as prying. Proceed cautiously; if at all. All this volatility can easily take you off center. Take whatever measures necessary to get back to yourself.
Libra
This February, get creative with that legendary Libran beauty and amplify your sex appeal. Enjoy glamorous evenings flirting, but expect of a few of those coquettish comments to land unintended. Your intense desire for attention could spiral into drama if you don’t channel it into more constructive endeavors. Display your creative gifts and receive the right kind of attention. Don’t forget your friends on Valentine’s Day. For some of you February means the conception of a baby as you are especially fertile, even if communication with your partner is somewhat strained. You don’t need to talk to fuck. Mercury’s retrograde means disorganization and scheduling chaos for Libra. You may also get a little lax in your wellness maintenance. The demands of work and home ram up against each other. Another woman in your family hits a nerve with her comments about the way you distribute your resources and handle your personal biznass. How will you respond to the dig?
Scorpio
Cozying up at home with family feels right in February, Scorpio. Root down in solitude and pampering self-care. Mercury’s retrograde means this is a shitty time to travel, so even if you are dying to flee to sunnier latitudes doing so between the sixth and the twenty-eighth may mean the trip will be more stressful than relaxing. Furthermore, since the retrograde thins your already transparent tact, spare us all your biting comments by staying home alone. While you are there, feel free to spruce, but hold off on major makeovers. Now is not the time. Valentine’s Day will be more about your professional success than your personal life. What a nice opportunity to champion your own accomplishments for once. Towards the end of the month, you are ready to get cute and get out there again. Do more than contemplate taking risks, actually take them.
Sagittarius
You have much to say this February, Sag. Make lots of little dates in your neighborhood to catch up with friends and family so you chat everybody’s ear off. You will feel an almost compulsive need to explain yourself, but with Mercury’s retrograde your message will likely get lost in translation no matter how many times you repeat it. More than a few squabbles could erupt in your already tense household when your mindlessness ruins something important. Money and the division of responsibilities also become hot button issues. Slow down and take care to avoid accidents. Speak your truth on Valentine’s Day. It’s time to lay your cards on the candlelit table, Sag. The latter part of the month stay home with your favorite women and talk about your feelings. These ladies can help you regroup from your emotional frazzle.
Capricorn
Capricorn calms down in February after a flurry of fresh energy at the start of the year. Return to work, money, and stability, which is the nest where you feel most comfortable. Back up anything electronic, as Mercury in retrograde means lost data. In general, February is a good time to dial back on the communication overload – put the phone down, turn the computer off, silence your television. Potential fiscal chaos ensues this month. Spend less and carefully review accounts. You may receive a windfall. Valentine’s Day brings unexpected depth of feeling and intimacy. Did you even know that you felt this way? Enjoy the spark. Use your creative aptitude to express your feelings in song or art. Towards the end of the month some interesting new folks come into your life with some fascinating stories. Listen carefully.
