Overview for this Month: Leo (All)
February 2025 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo:
February stirs up your relationships and connections, dear Leo, and spotlights your need for quality projects and activities. Relationships and negotiations are in focus, and you’re working on making your connections work. Even with some backtracking, you’re sorting things out and bringing more balance to your life.
Partnerships are in sharp focus this month and are particularly supportive and spirited. February is a strong month for socializing, connecting, and enjoying the people in your life. Openness and willingness to learn from one another are the keys to success right now and can lead to new levels of understanding. Be sure to reach out and move a little out of your comfort zone for best results.
Jupiter’s direct motion on the 4th contributes to hopefulness about your friendships and long-term plans. Essentially, this shift brings your social life to life! This energy picks up in the months ahead. Connecting brings joy, and there can be a stronger connection with friends or a group. You can successfully combine working towards your own goals and contributing to a team effort.
With Venus in your solar ninth house from the 4th forward, there can be notable people or love interests through travel or studies. Seeing your emotional or affectional priorities is easier than usual, and you have much to learn and share. Conversations are genuinely helpful, and a new perspective may be reached through your interactions. You’re in great shape for learning new things and connecting with inspiring ideas and perspectives. While you don’t always have the time to explore or expand your interests, the times you get are high-quality moments. Still, in these areas, take your time and keep your options open since Venus will turn retrograde in this area of your solar chart on March 1st.
The Full Moon on the 12th brings powerful energy for coming into touch with buried feelings, needs, and desires. It activates an urge to change your personal image in a manner that reflects the inner changes that have been in the works. Your emotions are on your sleeve! This Full Moon in your sign awakens you to your true feelings on a matter. With this new awareness guiding you, it’s a good time to make adjustments and improvements.
As the month advances and your solar eighth house becomes more prominent, you readily attract support, and you can be more involved with others’ resources and talents. Mercury moves into this area of your chart on the 14th, and the Sun arrives here on the 18th. You’re digging deeper and looking within yourself or to a significant other for sustenance. Joint ventures can thrive now.
From the 23rd forward, once Mars has turned direct, you are less inclined to hold onto resentments, and while further inner work is necessary, it’s clearer what precisely that is now! Mars will continue to stay in the background, directing your attention behind the scenes, for a while longer, but when Mars does re-enter your sign on April 18th, you’ll be raring to go. For now, it's important to take decisions slowly and thoughtfully, considering all aspects and potential outcomes, to ensure the best results when you do take action.
The New Moon on the 27th can force a financial or support issue. It's a prompt to get a handle on shared resources, deal with complex dependencies, and grow an intimate relationship. Your focus on the hidden, deeper elements of your life strengthens. Look for opportunities to rid yourself of limiting attitudes or rework your attitudes toward life in empowering ways. You have insight into which aspects of yourself that need transforming. You can be determined to sort out feelings of indebtedness. You may even start, restart, or revitalize an intimate relationship.

Leo (Born July 23 to August 2)
AND Leo Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Leo:
February 2025 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2025
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until February 18th:
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
Until February 3rd:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From February 4th forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until February 14th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar seventh house. You can be especially aware of your "audience" in your communications now, which tend to be diplomatic and respectful during this cycle. You may be encountering an especially chatty or communicative partner, or meeting youthful, talkative people.
At this time, you love to hear others' opinions and perspectives, and it's an excellent time to do so. Others can spur on your own thinking and decision making processes now, simply by offering another perspective. You are thinking a lot about others, a partner, and relating in general, and in some cases perhaps worrying over these things.
From February 14th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.
Research is also highly favored. It's easier for you to approach sensitive, intimate, and personal matters with rationality and logic. As such, this is a great time to open up conversations about topics that normally might cause waves, such as those revolving around the sharing of power, intimacy, and finances.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Mars is retrograde until February 23rd (since December 6th, 2024):
All Mars retrograde cycles affect you in the areas of faith, wisdom, perspective, personal philosophy, higher education, travel, and adventure in general because Mars rules your solar ninth house. You could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be a little more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house during this period, your spirituality, private life, gut instincts, and intuition are affected. Perhaps you are not as confident about your hunches. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them. Trusting your gut instincts may become an issue. Vague fears and anxieties need to be dealt with. Obsession with private matters or concerns about the past could be part of the picture. Your desire nature can be rather complicated now, and it can be difficult to find direct routes to satisfaction. Old resentments, hurts, and waves of anger can resurface. There can be lowered vitality, likely due to emotional frustrations and exasperation. It's time to rethink, revise, and reorganize your plans. Backtracking is a good idea now. This is a time for learning about how your mental health impacts your life.

Leo (Born August 3 to 12)
AND Leo Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Leo:
February 2025 Leo Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
February 2025
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, Pleasure
Until February 22nd:
Venus continues to move through your solar eighth house during this period. You are attracted to the deeper elements of relationships and social interactions now, rather than what you meet on the surface. Mysteries fascinate you and you could be looking for others' motives for doing and saying what they do. It's a good time to feel supported by others, whether it's financially or emotionally. It's also a strong cycle for discovering your own hidden talents as well as fascinating things about a partner.
From February 23rd forward:
Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until February 2nd:
Mercury continues to transit your solar sixth house. This is an excellent cycle for improving your skills, objectively identifying your weaknesses so that you can work on them, and for finding flaws in your work methods or approach to daily activities so that you can make necessary changes.
You might be especially focused on list-making and to-do lists, as well as organizing things around you. The need to communicate about your work, health, and other daily affairs, or with co-workers, is especially strong now. Negative expression of this position is worrying about sixth house matters (work, health, pets, and so forth) rather than finding ways to improve these things.
From February 3rd to 19th:
Mercury transits your solar seventh house. You tend to weigh the pros and cons of every issue during this cycle, taking into account others' needs as well as your own. Some indecisiveness is possible now, simply because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. You have a strong desire to cooperate and communicate with others now. You feel most comfortable spending time with people on a one-to-one level, or with those with whom you share a personal history.
Interestingly, your own thoughts become clearer through dialogue with others during this window. You may be doing public relations work, counseling, negotiating, or arbitration during this cycle. There is a lot of emphasis on communications with partners and best friends at this time. You can use the power of words to advise others or to make peace with people in your life. You are more diplomatic than usual during this transit.
From February 19th forward:
Mercury transits your solar eighth house. You are more intuitive now than usual, picking up all of the hidden cues from people around you and reading between the lines. This is an excellent cycle in which to do some financial planning and strategizing.

February 2025
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.

While you don’t always have the time to explore or expand your interests, the times you get are high-quality moments. Still, in these areas, take your time and keep your options open since Venus will turn retrograde in this area of your solar chart on March 1st.
The Full Moon on the 12th brings powerful energy for coming into touch with buried feelings, needs, and desires. It activates an urge to change your personal image in a manner that reflects the inner changes that have been in the works. Your emotions are on your sleeve! This Full Moon in your sign awakens you to your true feelings on a matter. With this new awareness guiding you, it’s a good time to make adjustments and improvements.
As the month advances and your solar eighth house becomes more prominent, you readily attract support, and you can be more involved with others’ resources and talents. Mercury moves into this area of your chart on the 14th, and the Sun arrives here on the 18th. You’re digging deeper and looking within yourself or to a significant other for sustenance. Joint ventures can thrive now.
From the 23rd forward, once Mars has turned direct, you are less inclined to hold onto resentments, and while further inner work is necessary, it’s clearer what precisely that is now! Mars will continue to stay in the background, directing your attention behind the scenes, for a while longer, but when Mars does re-enter your sign on April 18th, you’ll be raring to go. For now, it's important to take decisions slowly and thoughtfully, considering all aspects and potential outcomes, to ensure the best results when you do take action.
The New Moon on the 27th can force a financial or support issue. It's a prompt to get a handle on shared resources, deal with complex dependencies, and grow an intimate relationship. Your focus on the hidden, deeper elements of your life strengthens. Look for opportunities to rid yourself of limiting attitudes or rework your attitudes toward life in empowering ways. You have insight into which aspects of yourself that need transforming. You can be determined to sort out feelings of indebtedness. You may even start, restart, or revitalize an intimate relationship.

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.
For easier reading, the horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. However, for those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes (classic), simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
