Your February Horoscope


Aquarius

Happy Birthday, Aquarius! Happy Air Sign Season. Okay, that’s not a real thing, but it should be considering all of the air sign energy floating around this month.

Your ruler, Saturn, is in forward motion the entire month. Money matters should be harmonious and balanced, but don’t forget that Mercury is still in retrograde and surprises can, and probably will, come up. Taking risks is good, but don’t bank on a positive return every time. That said, this should be a really stellar month for you in virtually all areas of life. Enjoy it, Aquarius!

Your ruler is in direct motion this month, which is great since you’ll benefit from the wisdom that this motion brings to your professional life. However, Mercury’s retrograde continues until February 21 which means you could get thrown some curveballs at work and in your close, personal relationships. Guard your spirit until the end of the month. February rounds out with a full moon in balanced Virgo on February 27. Enjoy a return to some normalcy before March rolls around!

Rams you are in for a treat this month. Sure, February is the month of love, but who exactly said it had to be romantic love? Yes, you can invest every wake hour into overhauling your Tinder and you might find a few romantic prospects before Aquarius season is over, but why go to all the trouble when you can lavish yourself with all of that attention? Venus enters Aquarius on February 1.

Consider treating yourself by setting aside a few minutes for a mindfulness exercise and maybe splurge on a scented candle? You’ll know what feels right.

Mercury square your ruler Mars on February 10 — right in the middle of Mercury’s retrograde. Sure, you could gracefully ride out the wild, retrograde energy swirling around you by throwing your router and your cell phone into the nearest large body of water, but what would be the fun in that? Besides, this is the time when your wit will be at its sharpest.

If there has been someone in your social sphere crossing your boundaries this month, channel all of that self-possessed-Mars-energy and let them know exactly what you need and what you will and will not tolerate from them moving forward. The full moon is in Virgo on February 28 to round out the month with some stable, purposeful Maiden energy that will propel you into March feeling rested and relaxed (despite all the chaos of February).

Taurus

(Gillian Levine for Leafly)

This month is going to be hot, Bulls. Okay, maybe not literally depending on your climate, but trust that things in both your professional sphere and romantic life will be lively and, at the very least, entertaining. This is cupid’s month to shine, after all. Venus enters Aquarius on February 1. Romance and creativity will be everywhere at the beginning of the month. Own your power, but be careful not to step over others while you’re on the path.

Mercury is still in retrograde and will remain in its backward motion until February 21.  This could certainly drum up some unwanted emotions and old connections you would rather forget, but with the right mindset you can turn this chaotic period into a rebirth of sorts. If you’re the take-charge person in your relationship, consider letting your partner take a turn in the driver’s seat.

Let them come up with the date night ideas. If you’re shy when it comes to romantic gestures, don’t be afraid to get creative and take some time to learn your partner’s love language a little deeper. The full moon in Virgo on February 27 will realign you with your long-term goals and your purpose for the year. Embrace a little (fun) chaos! It can keep things from getting stale.

Gemini

(Gillian Levine for Leafly)

Happy love month, Twins! “There are all kinds of love in this world,” as F. Scott Fitzgerald once famously put it, “But never the same love twice.” Few zodiac signs appreciate true affection like you do, Gemini. You may certainly find yourself in the throes of a new romance this month, but it’s equally possible that the love you find will be in a newly rekindled friendship, or maybe you’ll find it by deepening your connection with your family amidst all the world’s chaos. It’s a month of fixed, Air sign energy. Aquarius season is in full swing, and Venus dances into this fellow Air sign on February 1.

While the positive aspects of the month will certainly outweigh the negative, where business is concerned, you’ll want to tread carefully. Mercury continues its retrograde until February 21. You’ll likely be drained by coworkers’ inability to effectively communicate this month. Don’t let that lead to your own issues with performance or communication. Ride the wave knowing that things will sort themselves out at the end of the month. The full moon is in balanced Virgo on February 21. Restore your energy under this full glow and look forward to March with resolve and a renewed sense of purpose.

February Strain: Think decadence this month. Roll up a rich treat like Lava Cake. Lava Cake is a indica-heavy hybrid perfect for an empty-calendar day. Users say this strain smells like something fresh out of the bakery. Sugary and sweet, this bud is the choice of patients looking to relieve chronic stress, pain, and anxiety.


Cancer

(Gillian Levine for Leafly)

This is a month to plan less, crabs. Lots of broken hearts will be looking for a home during February, the month of love. You can’t rescue everyone, Cancer. Mercury is still in retrograde until February 21. This is the time to turn to your vision board for the year (even if it exists solely in your mind). What kind of habits can you take on now that will pay dividends at the end of 2021? Bonus points if these new habits take you out of your comfort zone. You’ve gotten especially comfortable in your business life, Crab.

The new moon (your ruler) will be in Aquarius on February 11. Right before Valentine’s day is your moment to hit reset on your professional goals. The full moon is Virgo on February 27. Balanced, even-tempered Virgo vibes will be a welcomed reprieve from Mercury’s chaotic spin. Be your own advocate this month and don’t get caught up in petty disagreements. Things look brighter in March!
