Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
February 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
Your solar seventh sector holds considerable power this month, dear Leo, and there can be a big focus on relationships, especially one-on-one interactions. This spotlight can relate to a partner, counselor or adviser, business partnership, or another such union. Negotiations and agreements can figure strongly in February.
Sorting out problems and enjoying special moments with people in your life are satisfying activities in their own right, but they can also positively impact many different life departments. Mercury is retrograde in this same area of your solar chart until the 20th, and it’s not without its complications, but it’s a vital time for gaining some perspective and getting your life into better balance.
You might explore your feelings and attitudes about partnering, connecting, and mediating, and the New Moon on the 11th can move things forward. Even so, some redefining of relationships and relationship needs are still in order before you truly feel things are advancing.
Fortunately, delays can help you better understand your situation as you see details you may have missed in the past. You're open to seeing both sides of a situation, making negotiating or counseling worthwhile.
Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 1-25. During this cycle, you're in great shape to attract or enhance close relationships. There can be pleasing social situations, in general. This transit certainly helps to smooth over frustrations.
You are exceptionally dynamic and creative with business, career, and life plans this month with Mars at the top of your chart all of February. You have the spirit of enterprise and the courage to do something a little differently. You're revving up and making things happen, but watch for impatience with these life departments. Frustrations on the job or with responsibilities and business matters are likely due to a tendency to want to rush through things or be the pioneer.
While you should undoubtedly acknowledge your ambitions and your enterprising or competitive side, these things can clash with relationship goals this month. It would be wise to release some of the pressure you may have put on yourself to reach goals.
On the 11th, a New Moon occurs just as Venus and Jupiter align in your partnership sector, and there can be distinct opportunities to win others over or to enhance a relationship. There can be mutual benefits through others, whether it's about counseling, business, or romance. You are expressing real confidence, and you have a strong desire to move forward through forgiveness and acceptance. You're dealing with interrupted plans or disagreements with a spirit of forgiveness and cooperation. This can be the beginning of eventual resolutions for long-standing problems in your relationships.
Activities, significant events, and opportunities can emerge related to your one-to-one relationships. There can also be meaningful opportunities to learn about yourself through a significant other. You have more power to direct into a relationship or pursue a better balance in your life. Before you begin anew, you might seek resolution or closure regarding a past matter. You may see a new side of a person or situation, and someone could see you in a new, more positive light.
This can be a time for making a meaningful connection. You might have a standout conversation or come to a significant agreement.
A Saturn-Uranus transit occurs this month, although it brings up a theme that can stick with you much of the year. There is a heavier, more committed, or traditional element to partnering this year, while your career or life path goals are more unconventional. At times, these areas of life clash, and you can feel torn between different goals. However, you're also likely to recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships, even as you work on the tougher stuff.
The Sun moves into house eight in your solar chart on the 18th and Venus does the same on the 25th, bringing on a need for more intensity in your endeavors, activities, or relationships. Mercury ends its retrograde on the 20th.
Communicating your passion for what you do can lead to benefits in the last week of February. You're in good shape for solving difficult problems on work and health lines, as well as efforts to streamline, revamp, recycle, and prioritize your work, projects, and tasks. Efforts to improve your health may pay off now, or you might discover a previously overlooked resource that helps you improve your daily life, work, or business.
The Full Moon on the 27th happens in your resources sector, and money matters assume bigger proportions in your life, so you may be juggling. This lunation can bring revelations and possible conflicts to the foreground. There can be a tug of war going on, whether it's going on within yourself or with someone in your life, over money, possessions, and matters of control. Whatever emerges at this time can prompt a change for the better.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
February 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 17th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.
It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.
From February 18th forward:
The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.
All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.
This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From February 1-24:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person! You are more inclined to flatter and charm others during this cycle. One-to-one relating appeals to you more than group activities or more casual connections. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections--very willing to compromise, negotiate, and make peace.
From February 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from January 30th to February 20th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal finances, as well as communications with friends or groups, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Major financial initiatives should be avoided. Remember that friends don't mean what they say and don't say what they mean, and take what you hear with a grain of salt. Group meetings may be delayed or cancelled.
Occurring in your solar seventh house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations and one-on-one communications. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on the choice of words instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, try not to over-react to what your partner has to say. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to reflect upon your negotiation skills with the goal of improving them. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.
This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
February 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself. A partner provides a mirror for your own self-discovery. Now is the time to realize your own potential through a significant other. During this cycle, you focus on balancing your personal interests and objectives with your social life, or with those of a partner. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me".
You need the energies, companionship, and support of other people, and they may also seek out your support and companionship. It's important to include others rather than to go solo for the time being. However, bending too much to the will of another is not advised either. Social interactions of a personal, one-on-one kind are emphasized. Circumstances are such that your diplomacy skills are required. Your popularity is increasing, and is reinforced by your own ability to cooperate and harmonize. Your ego and pride are tied up in how you relate to others now. This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 9th:
Venus continues to move through your solar sixth house now. This is a time when beautifying and/or bringing harmony to your working environment is a priority to you. You might find more opportunities to socialize with co-workers, perhaps even meeting a new friend through your work or health routines. You are likely to bring more tact and diplomacy to your relations with the people you work with now. You may not be as productive as usual during this period, as the focus is more on social relationships and pleasure than on getting the job done. Improving health and vitality through pleasurable activities such as massage might be in focus now.
From February 9th forward:
Venus graces your solar seventh house during this period. This is a time for extra attention to a partner or significant other, as well as from that person!

Leo (Born August 13 to 22)
AND Leo Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Leo:
February 2021 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 8th:
The Sun continues to spotlight your solar sixth house. This is a busy period that finds you tending to many different details of your daily existence--your work, various projects, organization around the home and office, your daily routines, and health matters. Your ego may be especially tied up in the work you do, so that you are proud and more creative than usual in your job. You may be in the position to take charge in your work, or to take charge of your health and diet. Sometimes this cycle relates to increased activities involving pets. You seek to perfect your skills or methods now, and you focus on the parts that make up the whole now in order to improve your daily life. As a result, you can be more critical than usual, but this process is necessary for you to sort out what works for you and what doesn't.
From February 8th forward:
The Sun illuminates your seventh house. At this time of year, you have a greater need than usual to be with a partner. Bouncing ideas off someone helps you to better understand yourself.

It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mercury, while retrograde, returns to your sixth house on the 8th, and is direct in your sixth house on the 20th:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 14th:
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 the 14th 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.

Mercury is retrograde in this same area of your solar chart until the 20th, and it’s not without its complications, but it’s a vital time for gaining some perspective and getting your life into better balance.
You might explore your feelings and attitudes about partnering, connecting, and mediating, and the New Moon on the 11th can move things forward. Even so, some redefining of relationships and relationship needs are still in order before you truly feel things are advancing.
Fortunately, delays can help you better understand your situation as you see details you may have missed in the past. You're open to seeing both sides of a situation, making negotiating or counseling worthwhile.
Venus moves through your partnership sector from the 1-25. During this cycle, you're in great shape to attract or enhance close relationships. There can be pleasing social situations, in general. This transit certainly helps to smooth over frustrations.
You are exceptionally dynamic and creative with business, career, and life plans this month with Mars at the top of your chart all of February. You have the spirit of enterprise and the courage to do something a little differently. You're revving up and making things happen, but watch for impatience with these life departments. Frustrations on the job or with responsibilities and business matters are likely due to a tendency to want to rush through things or be the pioneer.
While you should undoubtedly acknowledge your ambitions and your enterprising or competitive side, these things can clash with relationship goals this month. It would be wise to release some of the pressure you may have put on yourself to reach goals.
On the 11th, a New Moon occurs just as Venus and Jupiter align in your partnership sector, and there can be distinct opportunities to win others over or to enhance a relationship. There can be mutual benefits through others, whether it's about counseling, business, or romance. You are expressing real confidence, and you have a strong desire to move forward through forgiveness and acceptance. You're dealing with interrupted plans or disagreements with a spirit of forgiveness and cooperation. This can be the beginning of eventual resolutions for long-standing problems in your relationships.
Activities, significant events, and opportunities can emerge related to your one-to-one relationships. There can also be meaningful opportunities to learn about yourself through a significant other. You have more power to direct into a relationship or pursue a better balance in your life. Before you begin anew, you might seek resolution or closure regarding a past matter. You may see a new side of a person or situation, and someone could see you in a new, more positive light.
This can be a time for making a meaningful connection. You might have a standout conversation or come to a significant agreement.
A Saturn-Uranus transit occurs this month, although it brings up a theme that can stick with you much of the year. There is a heavier, more committed, or traditional element to partnering this year, while your career or life path goals are more unconventional. At times, these areas of life clash, and you can feel torn between different goals. However, you're also likely to recognize that you’re growing through more responsibility or maturity in your relationships, even as you work on the tougher stuff.
The Sun moves into house eight in your solar chart on the 18th and Venus does the same on the 25th, bringing on a need for more intensity in your endeavors, activities, or relationships. Mercury ends its retrograde on the 20th.
Communicating your passion for what you do can lead to benefits in the last week of February. You're in good shape for solving difficult problems on work and health lines, as well as efforts to streamline, revamp, recycle, and prioritize your work, projects, and tasks. Efforts to improve your health may pay off now, or you might discover a previously overlooked resource that helps you improve your daily life, work, or business.
The Full Moon on the 27th happens in your resources sector, and money matters assume bigger proportions in your life, so you may be juggling. This lunation can bring revelations and possible conflicts to the foreground. There can be a tug of war going on, whether it's going on within yourself or with someone in your life, over money, possessions, and matters of control. Whatever emerges at this time can prompt a change for the better.

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.
