February begins with a full Moon on the first, the Snow Moon as it is called.
It is also the pagan fire festival of Imbolc, celebrating the middle of the winter season, 7th which is also known as St. Brigid’s day, who is the patroness saint of Ireland.
This full Moon has a bit of a malefic quality, as the part of the sky it occurs in is associated with rather destructive behaviors which I covered yesterday in my email about the full Moon.
It is a great time to attack your own bad habits and make the necessary changes internally to move into a better space to embrace change. It’s in the fire sign of Leo so make a list of what you want to be rid of and burn it as a ritual on the night of the full Moon. I do not recommend charging crystals during this particular full Moon, however, as why risk inviting bad juju into your stones?
On February 2nd, we have Groundhog’s day in Pennsylvania, where the hibernating rodent, Punxsutawney Phil or in neighboring Ohio, Buckeye Chuck, comes out to predict either more winter or an early spring. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, if he comes out of his borrow and sees his shadow, there will be another six weeks of winter. If he comes out doesn’t see his shadow, spring will come early. So, if it is a sunny day, we get more winter, if it’s a cloudy day, we’ll soon have springtime. It seems kind of out of sync to my way of thinking, but I’m not a groundhog so there’s that. We’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out. Celebrate whichever happens with a song in your heart! I’ve got you Babe, comes to mind.
Getting back to astrology, on February 3rd, Uranus is stationed now and will go direct at 27 degrees 27’ of Taurus and moves only a slight bit through the month, ending at 27 degrees 43’ of Taurus. This is his last pass through Taurus, though he last transited these degrees in May, June and the beginning of July in 2025. Some things from that time period need to be dismantled and cleared up. Uranus enters Gemini on April 26, where he will transit for approximately the next 7 years. As Taurus is a money and asset sign, the next 3 months could have a lot of financial volatility so be cautious with your money now. Uranus is also associated with earthquakes, sudden accidents or electrical storms or events, accelerating the change.
Mercury moves from 20 degrees of Aquarius into Pisces on February 7th, the first to break out of the stellium in Aquarius. While the little dude is considered weak in Pisces, it will have some strength by association with Venus when she goes into Pisces on the 10th. They are friends and Venus is exalted in the sign of Pisces so he’ll be hanging out with the cool chick for most of the month and basking in that glow. He has a retrograde period beginning on February 26th through March 20th, going back to 8 degrees of Pisces.
Venus moves from 18 degrees of Aquarius to 22 degrees of Pisces through the month. She enters Pisces, her exaltation sign on February 10th so there could be some improvement in financial markets at that time but be careful as Venus can be overly enthusiastic in this sign and then crash out when she enters Aries in early March. She emerges in the western sky around the 17th, so look for that lovely spectacle after sunset.
Mars moves from 7 degrees of Aquarius to 28 degrees of Aquarius this month. He is relatively close to Pluto, being only 4 degrees beyond it but still within the lord of the underworld’s influence, which is associated with some elements of danger, explosions and warlike tendencies. The sooner he moves past 9 degrees to separate from Pluto, the better for the planet Earth!
Jupiter is still retrograde in the sign of Cancer, moving from 17 degrees 18’ back to 15 degrees 16’ by the end of the month. He ends his retrograde cycle on March 10th so his influence is growing as we get into March. People will get more protective of their families, property and rights at this time as Cancer is a care giving sing and Jupiter wants to shield and protect those whom he loves in this sign.
Saturn moves into the sign of Aries on the 14th and will make another exact conjunction with Neptune at 0 degrees 43’ of Aries on February 20th. This marks the beginning of a new cycle as they only join up every 36-37 years, the last time in 1989. It is even more rare that it is happening in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. The last time they met up at 0 degrees Aries was about 9000 years ago, so, yea, this is a big deal! Saturn will transit Aries, marking new beginnings, restrictions and lessons, through most of April 2028.
Neptune entered the sign of Aries on January 27th and will move from 0 degree, 9’ to 1 degree 6’ during the month. It will transit this sign for the next 12 years, through mid-May of 2038. The last time Neptune was here was from 1861-1875, the time of the United States’ Civil War and its aftermath of changes.
Pluto moves ahead in Aquarius from 3 degrees 42’ to 4 degrees 31’. The last time Pluto was in Aquarius was 1777-1798. That era was defined by the American revolution and the birth of the United States, the French revolution, the Enlightenment, the Industrial revolution and the dismantling of monarchies and their hold on their colonies.
I almost forgot to mention the new Moon annular solar eclipse on February 17th. It is the 5th in the 6 month cycle of new Moons at 28 degrees of their respective signs and happens at 28 degrees of Aquarius, the masculine, fixed, air sign. It is only visible as the ring of fire in Antarctica. We shall see what manifests with this annular eclipse, the first of 4 this year.
READ YOUR SUN SIGN AND RISING SIGN FOR BEST RESULTS:
Aries — March 21-April 19: This month may be very low key for you, as there is kind of a hermit vibe after the 8th as Venus and Mercury go into your 12th house of seclusion and rest. Jupiter in your 4th also indicates a stay at home vibe so, just stay close to home and enjoy that vibe! Mars is still in your 11th house of friends, social groups, humanitarian goals, so you will maintain connections for the first 2 weeks and then fade out to join the other planets already in your 12th house. It’s a great time to take up meditation, tai chi, yoga or do some other inner work. Your best days are the AM hours of the 19th, the 20th and 21st.
Taurus — April 20-May 20: Uranus goes direct in your solar 1st house so that is a dynamic that wants to make a change in your appearance or express a different way to show up in your social world. Maybe some kind of body work or therapy is on deck for you at this time as there’s always something new to uncover as long as one is alive. The stellium in Aquarius is in your 10th house of career and public image so you can expect some changes manifesting in either how you do business or who you do business with. Walk towards it as 2026 is a year of new beginnings. Your stellar days are the 22nd and 23rd.
Gemini — May 21-June 21: With Mercury breaking loose from the stellium in Aquarius now, you may feel like you need some space around you, some freedom and some time to think. Take that time this month as Venus travels close to Mercury, your ruler, almost all month so it will be pleasant for you. Maybe a long distance trip to a coastal area is in order. Money could fluctuate this month or you could go on a spending spree which you will regret, so check yourself before throwing your cash around. Be aware. The best days of the month for you are on the 24th and 25th.
Cancer — June 22-July 23: The full Moon happens in your solar 2nd and 8th houses so this time period is about money, assets and how you finance your lifestyle. Some re-organization is in order to streamline the process. Saturn and Neptune in Aries in your solar 10th house portend a new beginning or a fresh start at something. You will be up for doing it different even if you end up doing the same job. You want a fresh perspective on the subjects at hand. Talk it over with someone if you need clarity. Your best days are the 26th and 27th.
Leo — July 24-August 23: With the full Moon in your solar 1st and 7th houses, there’s an emphasis on the partner, with all those planets in the sign of Aquarius in that house. Your needs are a bit secondary to the situation at hand so just know that you’ll have to learn to nurture yourself at this time. The Saturn Neptune conjunction happens right at the end of your solar 8th house of investments, insurances, legacy, taxes and psychology hang ups. It will feel good when those two planets move into your much more benign 9th house. Still attend to what you need to with the 8th house stuff so your life can proceed smoothly in the future. Stellar days for you are the 1st, 2nd and 28th.
Virgo — August 24-September 22: This month has you focused on your work environment, health matters and personal habits. Take note of any weird symptoms personally and take note of any weird vibes at work. Something is brewing there and you need to be aware of what is coming down. With Uranus approaching your 10th house cusp soon, there will be changes in your career in the near future, like April or May, either self generated or generated by others. The rest of February could be quite pleasant so maybe take some kind of long weekend trip to give yourself a lift. The best days of the month for you are the 3rd and 4th.
Libra — September 23-October 22: Your focus is still with your creative projects and your children with all these planets in Aquarius transiting your solar 5th house of creativity and intelligence. It’s a good house where you can have a lot of joy and sheer fun! The full Moon happens in your 5th and 11th houses, both of which are really good for making connections and expanding your social and business networks. Enjoy! The Saturn Neptune conjunction in Aries aligns with your horizon so you’ll be balancing self-interest and the interests of your partner for the next two years. Your best days are 5th, 6th and AM hours of the 7th.
Scorpio — October 23-November 22: The full Moon happens in your solar 10th house of career and profession and the 4th house of home and family, your roots and your real estate. Some kind of pressure is brewing forcing you to choose where to put your energies this month. Quite frankly, the 4th house has 5 planets in it so it wins this dilemma hands down. You’ll just have to put career stuff on the back burner for a while. Do what you need to and leave the rest. The lunar vibes favor you on the 8th and 9th.
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With the full Moon happening in your solar 9th house of higher mind, beliefs, education and travel and 3rd house of siblings, neighbors, short distance travel and learning you may have a very busy month of short and long distance travel. That’s just dandy as Jupiter, your ruling planet, likes new experiences and big new horizons. Still, you will want to be home a lot as well to chill in your own space. It’s a great time to really appreciate what a comfortable life you have. Jupiter is in your solar 8th so there are financial issues to deal with, possibly pertaining to an insurance settlement, an inheritance or a legal settlement you have in motion. Sit tight, Jupiter goes direct in March and that will help tie all the loose ends together over the coming 5 months. Your stellar days are the 10th, 11th and AM hours of the 12th.
Capricorn — December 21-January 20: With Saturn traveling through the last degrees of Pisces, about to meet up with Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries on the 20th, you are ripe for a new venture. Do your research so you feel fully prepared to take something on. There’s also a possibility of a move into a new home or acquiring some real estate for a future home as well. When Uranus goes into Gemini at the end of April you will have a lot of your “normal” work environment upended, so start thinking outside the box. Your best days are the 13th and 14th.
Aquarius — January 21-February 19: All these planets in Aquarius have been an overload on your nervous system. It starts to calm down by the middle of the month when Mercury and Venus get into Pisces but prepare for something shocking around the new Moon solar eclipse on the 17th as it happens in the sign of Aquarius! Find some way to dial down all the energy coursing through your system with relaxation techniques and maybe some body work. Take time off for self care on the 15th, 16th and 17th as you’ll reap good rewards at that time.
Pisces — February 20-March 20: Saturn will be out of your sign on Valentines Day, a big yay on that one! It meets up with Neptune at 0 degrees of Aries on February 20th to start a new chapter in your life. Saturn will be in Aries for the next 2 years and transiting your solar 2nd house of money, assets and values so you will have a new mission that has a bit of frugality involved. You are shifting and maybe this solar eclipse in your 12th house of seclusion and karma reveals what is coming up next. The days of the month that favor you are the PM hours of the 17th, the 18th and the AM hours of the 19th.
