February Horoscope - Monthly Astro Guide

Expansion through contraction. That’s an across the board mantra for 2021’s Aquarian helmed year, but we really start to feel the weight of our utopian vision in February. How to ground our idealistic future visions into reality? We have to shake up the old to make way for the new. 

The Aquarius stellium, including Mercury’s retrograde for the first two weeks in January, gives us a chance to revise our big picture vision. We have an idea of our future desires, but now we need to review the game plan and outline the steps to get there. The new moon in Aquarius on February 11 is a great time to manifest your dreams with grounded intention.

When it comes to putting in work, Mars in Taurus is methodical at best, a bit lazy at worst. Give yourself extra time to finish projects this month. With Mercury retrograde in the sign of technology, we’ll likely experience more annoyances and mishaps on Zoom calls, and Google hangs. By the full moon in Virgo on February 27, we’ll have a better idea of our teamwork mishaps, allowing us to release habits that hold back our productivity.

On a societal level, astrologers keep watch leading up to the first of three significant Saturn Square Uranus aspects that occurs first on February 17. This aspect highlights tension between Saturn in Aquarius, wanting to progress society forward into a more equalitarian existence, and Uranus in Taurus, creating volatility in old “stable” structures to make room for the future. Technology will play a big part in democratizing movements that catalyze our structural shifts. Because Saturn and Uranus are slow-moving planets, we start to see a sneak preview of this energy’s manifestation a few weeks out.

The Robinhood Reddit story showing friction between democratized finance and established Wall Street hedge funds is a perfect personification of this square! Historically, Saturn Uranus squares have been associated with financial downfalls (the 1929 stock market collapse). Still, this year has enough positive transits with Jupiter that the shake-ups actually lead us to better systems that empower more people instead of the wealthy few. Keep a keen eye on crypto currency’s movement as the internet day trader battles continue through the 17th.

Romantically, this month’s Valentine’s Day brings the likelihood of fated connections, especially for air signs, with Venus trine the Nodes of Fate and Jupiter. Though, as with any retrograde season, the likelihood of hearing from a past lover is heightened. This is especially true on the 6th and 7th with Venus square Uranus. We usually advise keeping it moving and focusing your relationship energy inward and onwards. Still, the Venus sextile Chiron transit brings the potential for healing old wounds via open-minded Aquarian communication. If you still have a vendetta with a past lover, it’s a good time to clear the air and clear the energy! Blocking someone isn’t healing; find peace with the past is.

Mercury stations direct on the 21st, bringing business as usual with tech and travel. Since Aquarius is the sign of friendships and group hangs, you may find yourself reflecting on your tribe. What friends are there for you when you’re feeling weird and introspective? Who loves you for all your quirks and supports your bigger vision? Which friends share your values and inspire you to be a better human? These are some of the friend reflections that may write themselves throughout February, setting the scene for your social life for the rest of the year.

It’s an auspicious time for you to investigate and learn more about startups, future technology, community living, and social causes.

The Aquarius stellium falls into your 4th house of home, feels, and family, bringing focus and attention toward reviewing those themes. Careful not to fixate or create problems that don’t exist.
