Astrology for February 2020

The overall theme this month is ending. With the Sun beginning its last solar transit in Pisces on Feb 18, many will enter into hibernation and dream mode. Although the beginning of the month is very social, the end requires slowing down for spiritual maintenance and reflection. Mercury will also station retrograde this month in Pisces and Aquarius, encouraging us to clear out the mental blockages hiding within.

Our relationship to self and the world are also shifting this month, especially with Venus entering a brand new cycle in Aries on Feb 7. Venus will also align with Chiron in Aries on Feb 10, bringing us face-to-face with a personal wound. This transit brings up self-confidence and self-worth issues that need to be addressed before we can move into the next level in a relationship. We may face tension or power struggles with our partner towards the end of the month. This aspect is pivotal in business relationships.

Venus in Pisces will have positive interactions with Saturn and Pluto at the beginning of this month, so make sure to take advantage of the power of visualization. For those in need, you may receive an unexplainable lump sum of money from the universe around Feb 2 and 3. Look at is a job well done for all the hard work you did in January. With Mars entering Capricorn on Feb 16, tension builds towards the end of the month when responsibilities outweighs free time. Adjust.

February 2020 Lessons for the Signs:

Aries: This month you may be holding or participating in a study group or test study for better practices and systems. With this knowledge and experience, reflect on how your own needs are being tended to in return. It may be helpful to ask yourself questions like: what needs and dreams am I avoiding? How can I commit to my health and wellbeing? What am I ready to make space for? With so much emphasis on your ending sector, you may experience deep feelings of completion or loss. Spend time reconnecting to nature and stillness. However, with Venus entering your sign on Feb 7, this is an excellent time to prioritize your appearances. Make space for a makeover, home, car, or wardrobe upgrade. It may even be helpful to schedule regular self-care time.

Taurus: February 2020 brings you deep lessons of personal growth and self-discipline. You may experience clarity about what you want to do over the next year. It may be helpful to pause and ask yourself: what is this relationship trying to teach me? What does this idea/thought/passion/project add to the bigger picture? How can I grow and maximize this opportunity? With Mars moving into your exploration sector mid-month, you could finally receive or find the courage to make a shift in your career or long-term goals. Old friends or lovers may pop up throughout the month. Don’t rush back into an old pattern or cycle out of loneliness or temptation. Remember your worth.

Gemini: Choosing change is difficult for you this month, Gemini, especially because you can’t see where you are going. As soon as you feel like you have an idea about who you are, what you’re doing, and how this affects your career, something changes. But this change is a good thing, especially with Mercury retrograde highlighting your long-term goals and growth sector. Don’t be in such a hurry to settle down and grow roots this month. Be open to the unexpected with a calm mind. Instead of fearing the unavoidable, use this month’s healing vibration to focus on the small details and what you can control. Exploring practical ways to express your creativity is important to your bottom line. Be open to other's investment and financial support for some of your riskier and more avant-garde goals.

Cancer: February 2020 encourages you to dream big this month, Cancer. With so much emphasis on your relationships, dreams, and higher aspirations, you may feel emotionally drawn to individuals of mentorship and wisdom that can help you achieve your long-term financial and material goals. Your thoughts and verbal communications will be more dreamlike than practical. This is a good month to keep a dream journal, as your dreams are more encoded with intuitive messages than usual. Mercury’s retrograde cycle encourages you to be honest with yourself and your inner fears. It may be helpful to ask yourself: what distractions, fears, or illusions hold you back from sharing your truth on a more public or creative platform? This is also a very sensitive time for you financially, so practice self-discipline and abundant thinking. The more you believe in your dreams, the more you likely you are to fulfill them.

Leo: February 2020 is a month of recognition and bravery for you, Leo. Gentle reminders of what matters to you on a soul level will become more prominent and consistent as the month plays out. With the Full Moon in your sign on Feb 9, you should feel the energy building in your favor, especially if you have been working on a personal project or goal. However, with Mercury stationing retrograde in your relationships and privacy sector, you could be experiencing superficial changes in your relationships with others and your past. A feeling of reflection and healing is a major theme for you this month. It may be helpful to practice grace and forgiveness for the ways you’ve grieved or dealt with loneliness in the past. Be gentle when old triggers come up for you — you are moving through them — life is not fighting against you.

Virgo: This is a completion month for you, Virgo. An old cycle that you are working diligently to clear and reprogram comes to a peak this month, granting you the final closure you need to accept what this season has brought you. With February’s detail-oriented and restful vibes, it would be wise if you spent this month getting your affairs in order. Clearing out old debt, reorganizing your space, and weeding out negative blockages in your overall mentality is the best way to use this energy. With Mars moving into your passion and pleasure sector, you may have a desire to spend leisurely on a big-ticket item. Instead of making an impulse purchase, budget it out. The clearer your budget, the more expansive your spending ability becomes. Don’t be afraid to make some changes in this area, especially with Mercury entering your health and wellness sector. This month demands that you prioritize your mental, physical, and financial health. Balance is key.

Libra: Things at home may become more unsettled and unpredictable this month as you learn how to navigate through responsibility peacefully. With Mars moving into Capricorn this month, family life will take up much of your mental and physical space. February is a foundation month for you, Libra. It may be helpful to review your long-term goals. Ask yourself: what can I do at this moment to secure my future? What habits and behaviors do I need to commit to? Mercury’s retrograde through Aquarius and Pisces inspires you to reflect on your work/life/health balance. You may be forced to take a break from work, but don’t use this as an excuse to fall behind. Instead, incorporate more rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation into your daily routine. The more inspired you are, the more productive you will be.

Scorpio: February 2020 inspires you to take charge of your career and overall life purpose. After months of hard work and determination, expect to see the seeds of your labor grow fruit. The beginning of the month may start rocky. You could be experiencing intense work or financial demands that require your immediate response and attention, but this energy will balance out by mid-month. With Mars finally leaving your income and self-worth sector, you may face mental conflict or doubts about your long-term goals. Be open to observe and reflect on these fears, especially when Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces and Aquarius. The more you address the limitations holding you back mentally and emotionally, the more you can healthily channel your ambition.

Sagittarius: This month you will need to balance out your priorities. With Mars finally leaving your sign and entering Capricorn, you’ll need to practice self-discipline both financially and mentally. The Full Moon in Leo on Feb 9 may bring an impromptu vacation or weekend getaway. You may also have a last-minute opportunity to travel for work. With Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces mid-month, you may have to deal with a loss or ending in your home or family. However, with Venus entering Aries, you may spontaneously meet a new love interest or potential business/income partner while out and about or through a mutual friend. Rest and reflection will be an ongoing theme for you all month long, but especially when the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th. Don’t commit to too much at once. Take it one step at a time.

Capricorn: February 2020 is a trying month for you, Capricorn. The month begins with you moving through a feeling of emotional loss and transformation, both mentally and spiritually. This is most likely due to the intense detoxification and realignment of your soul and true essence. Many Capricorns (especially Capricorn risings) are flowing through a transformation process, and this process unblocks all self-defeating and limiting thoughts and beliefs. With the Full Moon in Leo highlighting your intimacy and subconscious sector, a longstanding issue comes to light for cleansing. With Mars entering your sign, you should feel a release in certain areas of your life where you once felt stuck. This period should be energizing and awakening. With Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces and Aquarius, this is a helpful time to reflect on your communication processes and systems, especially with close friends, family, and siblings.

Aquarius: This month is a period of contemplation and integration for you, Aquarius. You will most likely begin the month in a negotiation of some sort, most likely about your finances, living arrangement, or short-term goals. If you are unsure of the next steps, it would be wise for you to seek counsel. Connect with a mentor, elder, or expertise in your area of interest; they have the answers that you seek. Another major theme is resistance. There is a feeling of completion coming, and for some, this can be startling. Instead of running from the changes, move toward them. This is emphasized by the Leo Full Moon and Mars entering Capricorn. With Mercury retrograde in Pisces and Aquarius, you may be forced to get in touch with some of your deeper and more private feelings. This is helpful as it opens your awareness to the abundance within you. The more you embrace the shift taking place in your life, the more you will feel fulfilled.

Pisces: February 2020 is a big month for you, Pisces. For many of you, this is a month of emotional rebirth and ascension. January was a big release month for you, as you launched something big or exposed your true feelings for all to experience. From this space, February calls you to reflect and replenish for a brand new cycle. With February’s Full Moon illuminating your work life and February’s New Moon refocusing your awareness on self, you may experience a new beginning in your work/life dynamic. Mars enters your career sector on the same day Mercury stations retrograde in your sign, Feb 16. Both transits emphasize the importance that planning and perseverance have in your life. Before you charge ahead in this new solar and lunar cycle, reflect on what you truly want. The more space you give yourself to explore and daydream while still handling your business, the more confident you will feel come March.
