Overview for this Month: Libra (All)
February 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
There is considerable power and focus on your solar fifth house this month, dear Libra. Themes and life areas associated with this sector include pleasure, recreation, hobbies, children, romance, dating, creative endeavors, creative self-expression, leisure time, and fulfillment through play. These may not always be smooth areas with Mercury retrograde in the same sector until the 20th, but certainly, opportunities emerge to improve, grow, and make meaningful changes.
February can be a lively period for relationships, learning, and sharing, although there can be some seemingly sluggish times with Mercury retrograde in your romance and creativity sector to the 20th. The New Moon on the 11th can inspire new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life. With Mercury’s retrograde, you’re also paying quite necessary attention to the past. To clear the way for a fresh start, you may need to take care of some unfinished business! Projects might be on hold until you finish up some important details. Romantic relationships can be a little complicated, or you may be focused on a past connection before you break free and move ahead.
This is a powerful month for exploring creative urges, as well as for sharing your affection, joy, and experiences with others. Reconnecting with old passions and hobbies can be in sharp focus. You may not always get the words right, but you’re bound to find different and satisfying channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet.
To the 20th, it's a period for filling in the details and checking that the decisions you've recently made are still viable. You're thinking and expressing yourself in different ways. There may be the need to revisit old issues, or people from the past tend to come back or become a mental/emotional focus.
You find much to enjoy this month--your heart is in your hobbies, relationships, recreation, or art. Even so, Mars spends the month in your intimacy sector, and you're often inclined to want to immerse yourself in more absorbing activities. Your intimate life and inner world are animated this month. Mars doesn't appreciate facades, slow processes, or ignoring problems--wherever Mars goes, there can be some trailblazing and perhaps rude awakenings at times, but also some useful truths and resolutions to challenges. Ownership, debts, support, or power dynamics problems might come to a head, but you’re taking charge and in the lead with these things for the most part. You could be digging up interesting information now, and research of all kinds can be very beneficial.
Mars does clash with several planets in your solar fifth house this month, and if you don't recognize the need for a challenge, you might challenge others! A part of you could be attracting, or attracted to, some level of drama if you are not in touch with what it is that is upsetting your equilibrium. Situations can trigger buried feelings, and you might get the chance to rid yourself of old resentments.
Reviewing past ideas can lead to valuable new methods, which can redirect you in positive ways. Someone from your past could reappear, and an old issue might wrap up and clarify.
The New Moon on the 11th occurs around the same time Venus and Jupiter align in your solar fifth house. Good energy is with you for expanding your horizons through creative endeavors. Love can be magical, and your powers of attraction are strong. You're generous with your heart and time. There can be meaningful opportunities to enjoy or express yourself more fully. You have more power at your disposal to direct into your creative, love, or leisure pursuits.
Putting something behind you or pulling yourself out of a rut can lead to new beginnings on romantic, recreational, and creative levels. You can be excited by ideas, conversations, or hope that make you feel especially vital and connected.
A Saturn-Uranus square that's with us until December first forms this month. Giving too much of your time or resources to others may be an issue and could leave you feeling discouraged if they don't seem to appreciate your efforts. The desire for freedom from certain obligations to others can seem to clash with more commitment in your love life, children or dependents, or creative and leisure pursuits. You're breaking free of unhealthy dependencies and attachments this year, and it can be somewhat rough going as you figure out what those are! Ultimately, however, it’s a good time to clear the deck for new beginnings. You’re no longer tolerant of unsupportive relationships and superficial pastimes or hobbies.
Still, it’s a powerful time for authenticity, particularly in your relationships, partnerships, dating life, with children, and in your creative/leisure world. You’re more realistic and humble, or you’re attracting people with these qualities into your circle.
The Sun heads into your work and health sector on the 18th, and then Venus does the same on the 25th. The last week of the month can be work-intensive but can also pull up the need to balance your rest-play cycle.
It's also a strong time for dealing with long-term problems and finding resolutions, which might involve putting something that has run its course behind you. You might connect with someone you love with new understanding or insight or with someone who helps you grow, learn, and move forward in a more empowered way. If you have a passion for a pet project, person, or idea, this is a great time to pursue it with more determination and a stronger sense of purpose.
The Full Moon on the 27th can bring sudden feelings or opportunities that nudge you in a different direction. You might discover the need for extra time alone or rest, recuperation, and regeneration. It's also a good time for connecting with your intuition.

February 2021 Libra 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 fifth house. This is a time when pleasure-seeking and creative activities come into focus and grab much of your attention. You are particularly personally charming in a spontaneous, natural way during this solar cycle. This is the time of year when you are ready to perform and to express yourself creatively.
This is a very playful cycle, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. It's a good time for recreation, romance, connecting with children, and enjoying and performing the arts. Your ego is tied up in your children, romantic relationships, and creative output now, so that you can be especially proud of these people and things. You can also be over-sensitive about these matters if you feel you are not getting enough appreciation.
From February 18th forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you take more pride in the work you do and in your health routines than any other time of the year. You are sorting through the experiences of the last several months, separating the worthwhile from the worthless. This is a good time to build your skills, to get organized, and to attend to your health and wellbeing. It's a great time to make improvements to your regular routines. Your self-esteem and your ego are tied up in the work you do and in the services you give. Details are more important to you now.
It's time to bring order to your life by focusing on the little things that make up the whole. This cycle presents an opportunity to get rid of what doesn't work in your life, while also discovering what does. You could seek distinction and strive towards perfection in your work. Efficiency should be your goal now. Your physical health, as well as the relationship between your body and your mind, are in focus.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
From February 1-24:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From February 25th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
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 communications involving legal affairs, travel, and education, as well as communications about the past, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. With Virgo ruling your twelfth house sector, somebody might be deceiving you or working against you, or nagging issues from the past may crop up and demand attention. Put off making solid travel plans if possible.
Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; 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 eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.

February 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until the 9th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.

February 2021 Libra Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 8th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.

Occurring in your solar fifth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to matters surrounding romance, children, and creativity. Be as non-judgmental as you can with romantic partners and your children, if applicable. Re-thinking the suitability of your romantic relationships is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. Arguments with a lover may be blown out of proportion far too easily. Both you and your lover should avoid harping on the words used and try to get to the meaning behind the words instead. Or, a romance may not be moving forward in obvious ways. It might seem like stagnation, but it's actually a period of review and rest. Other possibilities include calls that are not returned, a lover is late for a date, or dates get cancelled. Speculation and gambling are not advised right now. It's probably not the best time to launch a new creative project, but it's a good time for reworking an existing one. Same goes for romance! Things will change after Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with romantic partners, and children; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mercury, while retrograde, returns to your fourth house on the 8th, and is direct in your fourth house on the 20th:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 14th:
Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.
From the 14th forward:
Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.
Overview Horoscope:
February 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra:
There is considerable power and focus on your solar fifth house this month, dear Libra. Themes and life areas associated with this sector include pleasure, recreation, hobbies, children, romance, dating, creative endeavors, creative self-expression, leisure time, and fulfillment through play. These may not always be smooth areas with Mercury retrograde in the same sector until the 20th, but certainly, opportunities emerge to improve, grow, and make meaningful changes.
February can be a lively period for relationships, learning, and sharing, although there can be some seemingly sluggish times with Mercury retrograde in your romance and creativity sector to the 20th. The New Moon on the 11th can inspire new beginnings and fresh starts in these areas of life. With Mercury’s retrograde, you’re also paying quite necessary attention to the past. To clear the way for a fresh start, you may need to take care of some unfinished business! Projects might be on hold until you finish up some important details. Romantic relationships can be a little complicated, or you may be focused on a past connection before you break free and move ahead.
This is a powerful month for exploring creative urges, as well as for sharing your affection, joy, and experiences with others. Reconnecting with old passions and hobbies can be in sharp focus. You may not always get the words right, but you’re bound to find different and satisfying channels for expressing yourself, and creative mediums seem your best bet.
To the 20th, it's a period for filling in the details and checking that the decisions you've recently made are still viable. You're thinking and expressing yourself in different ways. There may be the need to revisit old issues, or people from the past tend to come back or become a mental/emotional focus.
You find much to enjoy this month--your heart is in your hobbies, relationships, recreation, or art. Even so, Mars spends the month in your intimacy sector, and you're often inclined to want to immerse yourself in more absorbing activities. Your intimate life and inner world are animated this month. Mars doesn't appreciate facades, slow processes, or ignoring problems--wherever Mars goes, there can be some trailblazing and perhaps rude awakenings at times, but also some useful truths and resolutions to challenges. Ownership, debts, support, or power dynamics problems might come to a head, but you’re taking charge and in the lead with these things for the most part. You could be digging up interesting information now, and research of all kinds can be very beneficial.
Mars does clash with several planets in your solar fifth house this month, and if you don't recognize the need for a challenge, you might challenge others! A part of you could be attracting, or attracted to, some level of drama if you are not in touch with what it is that is upsetting your equilibrium. Situations can trigger buried feelings, and you might get the chance to rid yourself of old resentments.
Reviewing past ideas can lead to valuable new methods, which can redirect you in positive ways. Someone from your past could reappear, and an old issue might wrap up and clarify.
The New Moon on the 11th occurs around the same time Venus and Jupiter align in your solar fifth house. Good energy is with you for expanding your horizons through creative endeavors. Love can be magical, and your powers of attraction are strong. You're generous with your heart and time. There can be meaningful opportunities to enjoy or express yourself more fully. You have more power at your disposal to direct into your creative, love, or leisure pursuits.
Putting something behind you or pulling yourself out of a rut can lead to new beginnings on romantic, recreational, and creative levels. You can be excited by ideas, conversations, or hope that make you feel especially vital and connected.
A Saturn-Uranus square that's with us until December first forms this month. Giving too much of your time or resources to others may be an issue and could leave you feeling discouraged if they don't seem to appreciate your efforts. The desire for freedom from certain obligations to others can seem to clash with more commitment in your love life, children or dependents, or creative and leisure pursuits. You're breaking free of unhealthy dependencies and attachments this year, and it can be somewhat rough going as you figure out what those are! Ultimately, however, it’s a good time to clear the deck for new beginnings. You’re no longer tolerant of unsupportive relationships and superficial pastimes or hobbies.
Still, it’s a powerful time for authenticity, particularly in your relationships, partnerships, dating life, with children, and in your creative/leisure world. You’re more realistic and humble, or you’re attracting people with these qualities into your circle.
The Sun heads into your work and health sector on the 18th, and then Venus does the same on the 25th. The last week of the month can be work-intensive but can also pull up the need to balance your rest-play cycle.
It's also a strong time for dealing with long-term problems and finding resolutions, which might involve putting something that has run its course behind you. You might connect with someone you love with new understanding or insight or with someone who helps you grow, learn, and move forward in a more empowered way. If you have a passion for a pet project, person, or idea, this is a great time to pursue it with more determination and a stronger sense of purpose.
The Full Moon on the 27th can bring sudden feelings or opportunities that nudge you in a different direction. You might discover the need for extra time alone or rest, recuperation, and regeneration. It's also a good time for connecting with your intuition.

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.
