Aries (March 21-April 19)

Mars, your planetary guardian, has spent the last few weeks moving backward, and you may have felt as though your usual energy was running low. Starting February 23, though, your energy begins a powerful resurgence, and you’ll be well on your way to shining brighter than ever. Don’t be surprised if it takes a bit of momentum before you feel fully back to your charismatic self. You’ll feel more clarity and confidence with each day.

Venus moves into your sign on February 4, elevating your enjoyment of life. Beautiful surroundings, playful flirtation, and heartwarming connections become major themes, especially around February 12, when the Leo full moon sets a romantic tone for Valentine’s Day festivities. Whether you’re single or partnered, you could find unexpected expressions of love.

On February 1, a rare dance between Venus, the North Node, and Neptune amplifies your sense of compassion, urging you to balance your personal desires with your wider responsibilities. This is your cue to prioritize the people who matter most. Not only will relationships sustain you this month, but they’ll also fuel your success. With the sun in community-minded Aquarius for the first half of February, it’s an ideal time to get involved in group activities and team projects.

Then, as the sun enters dreamy Pisces on February 18, your focus shifts to deep feelings. This healing influence urges you to make peace with the past. Trust that making space in your heart for forgiveness invites a whole new chapter in your story. By March, you’ll see how compassion paves the way for a more fulfilling life.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

On February 4, your ruling planet, Venus, enters Aries, the sign of fearless self-discovery. Let this transit be a permission slip to put yourself first. If you’ve been juggling too many untenable situations, it’s time to get real about what’s not working and release what you’ve outgrown. What would life look like if you chose you? Live your life authentically, trusting that in honoring your own preferences and desires, you positively bless others in your life.

The sun’s journey through visionary Aquarius (until February 18) invites you to stretch and grow, though it may temporarily disrupt your equilibrium around the Leo full moon on February 12.

Invest that reclaimed space into nurturing yourself through creative outlets, time in nature, or simply resting.

On February 18, the sun enters Pisces, awakening your curiosity and opening doors to fortunate encounters. Engage in meaningful conversations, team up with others, and envision new possibilities for yourself. Don’t be shy about dreaming big! Your intentions could be clues pointing you toward manifestations.

Mercury’s entrance into Pisces on February 14 means poetry on Valentine’s Day. Keep in mind that Mars remains retrograde until February 23, which could slow your pace in matters of the heart.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

If you sit still and close your eyes, you can feel a groundswell shaking the foundation beneath your feet.
