Overview for this Month: Aries (All)
Horoscope Overview for February 2020 for Aries:
There's a pleasing emphasis on making connections and enjoying your relationships as February begins, dear Aries, and with Venus moving into your sign on the 7th, you're personally popular. Still, you're finding more and more reason to take things easy or take personal time as the month advances, and it's good for you.
There is some de-emphasis of career or life-plan goals now, although these things don't altogether drop off the radar for very long these days! You're taking more interest in finding your joy or making a contribution. You have a stronger influence on friends and groups until the 18th, and you're in good shape for trying on new styles and ideas.
While there is a stronger focus on the past as the month advances, when it comes to Venus-ruled areas (including love, enjoyment, pleasure, and money), you're awakening from a period of hibernation, so to speak, from the 7th forward. Others may be taking a special interest in you, and your most attractive traits seem to be highlighted. You're more inclined to attract things and people into your life as opposed to pursuing them directly and actively, and you are exceptionally well-equipped to do so! It's a fine period for personal appeal and magnetism.
The Full Moon on the 9th reinforces this playful, attractive theme. Love, creativity, fun, entertainment, and self-expression are in focus. You're in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to the conclusion that you should enjoy yourself more fully. It's a time for embracing your feelings and letting them guide you! This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them.
The first of three Jupiter-Neptune aspects strongly influencing the year occurs this month. With so much recent activity in your career and reputation sector, this transit's boost of inspiration, a sense of purpose, and compassion are most welcome. It's a time for seeking and finding inspiration. You may benefit from past work, good deeds, and experience, particularly in your profession. While you've been going hard in some areas of your life, this transit helps you find moments to detox, relax, decompress, detach, and rest. It also reminds you of the value of feeding your spirit, imagination, or romantic needs alongside your more worldly pursuits. As you pay more attention to mental and emotional health, your life takes on more meaning.
Mercury's retrograde in your privacy sector from the 16th is another sign that you benefit from more attention to your inner world as February advances. Some of the decisions made and projects started in the last couple of weeks can require reconsideration, or there can be delays to manage. It's a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then, but entirely relevant now.
Still, on the same date, Mars heads to the top of your solar chart, and circumstances seem to push you to improve and reach a little further. There can be times during the retrograde when you feel life is as slow as molasses, but you can make some excellent refinements. Plus, Mars forms some supportive aspects that suggest you're making progress even if it's not always obvious just yet. You can be feeling freer, more optimistic, and more inclined to take the lead, particularly regarding your business or practical affairs. You're working under the radar or behind the scenes with the Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 19th, but you can also be branching out and coming up with novel ways of expressing yourself. When it comes to money, personal possessions, and valuables, you're doing things just a little differently. A change of pace can feel right.
You're encouraged to dig deep and find ways to put unproductive elements of your past behind you in the last week of February. Circumstances reveal that you need more time to rest, reflect, and "just be." This is an important time for you to look back and review, process, and digest recent events. There can be crucial new insights into your innermost feelings, the past, or a long-term problem. You are coming to a new understanding of a past matter through new or further information, or looking at something with fresh eyes, and this will eventually allow you to move forward with less baggage.
While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is active. It's a work hard, rest hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong.

Aries (Born March 21 to 31)
AND Aries Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Aries:
February 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 18th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From February 19th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until February 7th:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
From February 7th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until February 2nd:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
From February 3rd forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mercury is retrograde from February 16th to March 9th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until February 15th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From February 16th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

Aries (Born April 1 to 10)
AND Aries Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Aries:
February 2020 Career, & General Trends
February 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun lights your solar eleventh house. The Sun illuminates your sector of friends, groups, and dreams coming true this month. It's a sociable sector of your chart, and that's exactly how you are feeling--happy, light-hearted, cosmopolitan, and social. Group affiliations capture your attention. Connections can be made now and networking pays off, or at least satisfies. Being part of a community or circle of friends and building your social network is important to you at this time.
This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is high. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children (especially others' children) may increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. This is a time to follow your dreams and ideals, and to plant a seed in the form of a wish for the future.

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications in general and job or health-related communications because Mercury rules these areas of your life. There can be delays or rethinking with these matters.
Occurring in your solar eleventh and twelfth houses this time, your instinctual judgment may be compromised, and extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily get sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well.

February 2020 Aries Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 8th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar tenth house. Satisfaction and fulfillment during this cycle come from doing your professional best, shining as a responsible and capable person, and contributing to the world in practical ways. You might have a chance to receive acknowledgement or praise for your work or good character now. Landing support from authority figures is easier at this time. Avoid the pitfalls of pride or arrogance standing in your way of success.
From February 9th forward:

Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.

While there is a stronger focus on the past as the month advances, when it comes to Venus-ruled areas (including love, enjoyment, pleasure, and money), you're awakening from a period of hibernation, so to speak, from the 7th forward. Others may be taking a special interest in you, and your most attractive traits seem to be highlighted. You're more inclined to attract things and people into your life as opposed to pursuing them directly and actively, and you are exceptionally well-equipped to do so! It's a fine period for personal appeal and magnetism.
The Full Moon on the 9th reinforces this playful, attractive theme. Love, creativity, fun, entertainment, and self-expression are in focus. You're in an eyes-wide-open period regarding a romantic or creative issue. You might have an epiphany that leads you to the conclusion that you should enjoy yourself more fully. It's a time for embracing your feelings and letting them guide you! This lunation can bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface, and it feels great to release them.
The first of three Jupiter-Neptune aspects strongly influencing the year occurs this month. With so much recent activity in your career and reputation sector, this transit's boost of inspiration, a sense of purpose, and compassion are most welcome. It's a time for seeking and finding inspiration. You may benefit from past work, good deeds, and experience, particularly in your profession. While you've been going hard in some areas of your life, this transit helps you find moments to detox, relax, decompress, detach, and rest. It also reminds you of the value of feeding your spirit, imagination, or romantic needs alongside your more worldly pursuits. As you pay more attention to mental and emotional health, your life takes on more meaning.
Mercury's retrograde in your privacy sector from the 16th is another sign that you benefit from more attention to your inner world as February advances. Some of the decisions made and projects started in the last couple of weeks can require reconsideration, or there can be delays to manage. It's a time for redoing and refining work that is already underway, for journaling, and for backtracking over the past to find answers that were not obvious then, but entirely relevant now.
Still, on the same date, Mars heads to the top of your solar chart, and circumstances seem to push you to improve and reach a little further. There can be times during the retrograde when you feel life is as slow as molasses, but you can make some excellent refinements. Plus, Mars forms some supportive aspects that suggest you're making progress even if it's not always obvious just yet. You can be feeling freer, more optimistic, and more inclined to take the lead, particularly regarding your business or practical affairs. You're working under the radar or behind the scenes with the Sun's move into your privacy sector on the 19th, but you can also be branching out and coming up with novel ways of expressing yourself. When it comes to money, personal possessions, and valuables, you're doing things just a little differently. A change of pace can feel right.
You're encouraged to dig deep and find ways to put unproductive elements of your past behind you in the last week of February. Circumstances reveal that you need more time to rest, reflect, and "just be." This is an important time for you to look back and review, process, and digest recent events. There can be crucial new insights into your innermost feelings, the past, or a long-term problem. You are coming to a new understanding of a past matter through new or further information, or looking at something with fresh eyes, and this will eventually allow you to move forward with less baggage.
While you can be somewhat retiring personally, your ambition to triumph, succeed, or win is active. It's a work hard, rest hard time for you! You quite naturally take the lead or act independently, and your sense of where to go or what to do next is strong.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. While new months can hold new energy, transits don’t abruptly change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Highlights section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
