Void of Course Dates this Month
On February 6th, Saturn forms a quintile with Uranus. We gravitate to a balance between the new and the old, the tried-and-true and the progressive. We’re original without going out of our way to be off the wall. As we look for ways to improve, we have our feet on the ground. With this aspect in play, we pride ourselves on being calm and steady in the face of change.
On February 9th, a New Moon occurs in the sign of Aquarius, stirring a new beginning. This energy prompts us to make a clean break or a “fresh start.” We awaken our minds to a need for a vision, socializing and brainstorming, expressing feelings of friendship, and developing more objectivity in our lives. We’re determined to start fresh. In the sign of Aquarius, friendship, brotherhood, group activities, social pursuits, group projects, trying something new, humanitarian efforts, or joining a group are a strong focus.
On February 19th, Chiron aligns with the True North Node of the Moon. We’re actively using lessons from our experiences and past to clear the path for personal accomplishment. It’s a time to push ahead fearlessly, overcoming our fears or insecurities in order to grow, improve, and advance. Being open, honest, and willing to be vulnerable can help us move forward.
On February 24th, a Full Moon occurs in the sign of Virgo, bringing sudden awareness to our lives, particularly of areas that require more order. Something is exposed or illuminated, prompting us to get in touch with those things that we may have been neglecting or putting off, especially regarding our work, services, habits, health, and routines.

This Month’s Overview Horoscopes
The following horoscopes outline how the above astrological influences might affect each individual sign.
Overview horoscopes fill in here as I write them, ideally during the week before the month begins. It is not unusual to see some signs temporarily missing as I write the twelve of them over the course of a few days, starting with the featured sign of the month (birthday month).
AriesFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aries: While February is a friendship-focused month, dear Aries, you can make great strides in your career in the first week. Those in authority favor you, and professional projects move forward without resistance. You might get recognition for your work or your responsibility. It's not a time to hide yourself away! As the month progresses, emphasis on career decreases, and social activities become a stronger focus. Not only will you enjoy the company of friends, but your networking efforts can inspire new ideas. Friendships and group associations can figure strongly in February, or you might make discoveries about your current connections that enliven your month. At the same time, this area of your life is experiencing rumblings of change. It's a time when you recognize the need for long-term transformation! Your view of your social life or place in your community is evolving. Around the New Moon on the 9th, exciting opportunities for friendships and partnerships can arise out of the blue. You have great personal influence with peers, associates, and groups as the month advances. Connections made this month are likely to be especially notable in the long term. You might meet a love interest through social networking, groups, and friends. It can be a time of social refreshment or renewal. Long-term plans look exciting now. You might decide to begin a new venture or join a group or team. With planets meeting Pluto in your social zone one by one, you see areas of your life that need an overhaul. A major project or focus can be all-consuming and quite pleasantly so. Still, feelings can be complicated, and interactions can be intense. Power doesn't come from knowing all but from knowing yourself and self-honesty. Relationships with friends can unbury possessiveness or ownership issues, but you're also in the position to purge, release, and move forward. It's an auspicious time to make amends, make connections, or start anew. You're getting an honest glimpse into problem areas plus a window into your deepest needs, which is a potent combination. For best results, find more time or manage your time better for sharing, connecting, and community this month. Look for people and situations that build you up, although they may very well find you first with Venus in your social sector from the 16th forward. The emphasis is on pleasure, finding like minds, healthy competition, attraction, and making new plans. You dare to go out of your way or step out of your comfort zone. Connecting with others can be exciting. Initiative and enterprise are strong in whatever venture you may be considering. Although your happiness goals and social life are in focus, you have two other larger themes in February: heightened ambition and an increasing need for renewal, healing, and downtime. In fact, this can be a well-rounded month if you treat these themes as complementary rather than competing. The Sun moves into your privacy sector on the 18th, and Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, and you crave more space or time to yourself to think and process. Improving emotional health is in focus now, and this can be an important time for researching and finding alternative ways of managing stress or simply making more time for rest and reflection. You'll find it easier and, in fact, more rewarding to take the back seat for the time being. While your social life remains vibrant, circumstances in the last week of the month draw your attention to the need for more rest, which can do wonders for your physical and spiritual well-being. Even so, the Full Moon on the 24th awakens your mind to the positive things about your work and health or daily life. It can be a good time to throw yourself into a service you provide or the work you do and reap the rewards from so doing. This may also be a wake-up call if you've avoided your duties. |
TaurusFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus: You're getting more recognition for your professional efforts or connecting with your ambitions this month, dear Taurus. There can be doors opening for promotions, improved working conditions, or a new position. Your ambition is stirring, but do take care not to bulldoze your way towards your goals. Success is more important to you than usual, and you take special pride in what you do and how you do it. February asks you to work a little harder than usual. You want to shine for your performance, achievements, and responsibilities. But while there's a big focus on long-term goals and performance in February, opportunities to get away from routine are with you. The first half of the month is vital for discovering and exploring new activities, ideas, and destinations. Your month is looking full, and it's likely to be highly engaging and pleasant. You're prouder than usual of your accomplishments, and people are drawn to you and are pleased with what you're doing. This is a time to give extra attention to career, long-term goals, rules, responsibilities, and performance. It can also be a time of greater visibility with the public or in your professional life. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and time spent on personal matters is a good idea now. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself. Even so, this is your yearly career peak, and you can expect new or increased responsibilities. A golden opportunity might present itself after the New Moon on the 9th, when a surprising change of direction can figure strongly. Be as aboveboard and professional as you can — others are taking note! This can be a month for a reputation boost, making connections, and clear-cut advances towards attaining your goals. It's a period for showing off a little without having to do much beyond what your instincts tell you. This is a powerful time for making your mark, learning or developing a talent that benefits your career, and going after your goals enthusiastically. You are more determined to succeed. There can certainly be intensity related to your responsibilities, career, or reputation as a long-term Pluto theme is gaining traction. It's possible you feel scrutinized, but feedback may very well fuel your ambition to improve. Taking your ego out of the equation is best now, although it is difficult! You may be going at a project in an entirely new way, and if you channel your powerful energy well, you can get a lot done. Instead, this can be a time to uncover buried desires and ambitions. You may get the opportunity to prove your commitment. Others recognize you for your dynamism and creativity, and feedback can be exciting. Extra charm or intrigue surrounds you--the conviction behind your desires and ideas attracts support from others. Past good deeds can bring rewards. The aim is to feel stronger and empowered through your work, life path, or current mission. For best results, forge out a plan for pursuing your ambitions while being kind to yourself in the process. Dig deep and recognize ambitions that you haven't truly acknowledged until now. Your unique appeal and magnetism, and perhaps even a relationship, can be on display somehow, and creativity on business or promotional levels is in focus. You're in an excellent position to pour energy, passion, and love into your work, business, making money, or something you're building. The Sun moves into your friendship sector on the 18th, and Mercury follows suit on the 23rd. Your attention turns to enjoyment, friends, teamwork, and networking. While you're certainly not moving away from your responsibilities or professional goals, you're now allowing more time for personal and interpersonal activities. Difficulties with friends or complicated emotions about your social life can come to light now, prompting you to start fresh or make repairs. Fortunately, your resolve to improve your life, particularly to add more structure and discipline, is building, and seeing things clearly now can help this further. |
GeminiFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Gemini: There's been more introspection in your life, dear Gemini, and while it continues in February, you're hungering for new experiences and refreshing topics, especially as the month advances. You desire activities and areas of focus that lift you above your usual concerns and daily routine. Educational or adventurous opportunities open up. Increasingly, as the month advances, you are in excellent shape to boost your life experiences or studies. Meeting people, even virtually, or studying new ideas or topics can be life-changing. You're approaching your life or topics of interest and projects with more passion. You can also be a mentor or help others in significant ways. Higher learning, different or faraway places and cultures, and new ideas and topics not only hold stronger appeal but can also be the backdrop for interesting twists to your life story, particularly after the New Moon on the 9th. You're renewing your spirit, reaching beyond your usual activities, and learning more heartfully. A getaway, a new course, or a publishing project can figure strongly. It's a time to feed your mind, enjoy new experiences, and brush up on your knowledge. Aim to keep your ear to the ground as helpful information is circulating. Opportunities to impress, publish, or promote can figure strongly in February. Sharing your ideas with others might even lead to significant opportunities, personally or professionally. You might enjoy activities that connect you with empowering ideas and experiences. However, what starts as a passionate feeling about something or someone could quickly become an obsession, which can be the source of unnecessary stress and pressure in your life. Avoid pushing too hard and taking risks with money and your heart. With an emphasis on Pluto, newly in your spirit sector, it can be a time to discover or develop a personal interest or course of study, promote yourself, or learn and advance in your trade. A compelling experience may change your perspective. Stubbornness can be positive when working towards an important objective but counter-productive when you shut yourself down to possible alternatives. Newly discovered passions can lead to a change of plans. Your magnetic powers of attraction are strong, and you might gain the courage to make a move you've wanted to make for some time. It can be a time to reinvent yourself through new ideas, knowledge, and life experience. Competitions, challenging yourself to beat a personal best, or sharing your enthusiasm with others can be in focus. Fascination with different ideas and individuals can figure strongly. There can be excitement, motivation, and possibly even love connected to schooling, adventure, and extracurricular or online activities. It's a time to discover your passions for ideas, causes, studies, or a belief system. Transformative studies are possible. The people you meet now can play a big part in your future. Physical or mental activities tend to go in your favor, especially around the 21st to the 22nd. You express yourself in new and exciting ways, find new audiences, or otherwise expand your reach. You might seek exciting connections, or you have a real passion for a new idea, topic, travel destination, or long-term plan. Any of these things can awaken a strong desire inside you. Love connections could form through non-routine activities. The Sun enters your career and reputation sector on the 18th, and Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, bringing your attention to rules, responsibilities, and structures in your life. In the last week of the month, focusing on work can be motivating and energizing. While you continue to feed your spirit, you're moving into a period of increased attention to your career or long-term goals. You recognize the need to tighten your belt, work a little harder, and improve your work or duties as the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn align at the top of your chart as the month comes to a close. The spotlight is on your performance or accomplishments; if you've fallen short, you might feel the pinch now. However, you could also appreciate the clarity that comes from seeing the reality of a situation. |
CancerFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer: Relationship needs have been making headlines in your life recently, dear Cancer, and this month, the more intimate aspects of sharing with a special someone become your primary concern. Instead, the urge for self-transformation can be strong, and it's a fine time to kick a bad habit and eliminate wasteful activities. You're exploring your relationship goals further in February. You can benefit from more power behind the scenes and an incredible ability to put something negative behind you. It's also a month for taking charge of finances, especially those shared with others, debts, and loans. If necessary, it can be a good time to borrow or settle debts. Either way, dealing with debt now tends to generate positive outcomes. People are investing in you now. Your relationship with yourself is evolving--you're connecting with your deeper desires and needs--as are your attitudes toward dependencies on others, finances, and intimacy. Planets meeting Pluto this month in your solar eighth house highlight the evolution and changes in how you connect with others on intimate levels and your passion projects. Dealing with the hidden aspects of yourself can be transformative. As well, healing activities and abilities can figure strongly. Intimate relationships or passion projects can turn a corner and transform. There can be more intensity in a relationship, or you feel strongly about eliminating something unhealthy from your life. You can also be determined to uncover the truth on a matter. If you’ve been frustrated with a situation or feeling overly attached, you’ll want to do something about it now. Ideally, events in February put you in touch with your deeper desires, leading to exciting discoveries. You crave something deeper from your relationships or pursuits. In many ways, February is a period of review and refinement for you. Reviewing strategies is usually wiser this month than putting them into action. Money, insurance, debts, taxes, and possessions may be important topics for you now. Honest communication on emotionally-charged topics, such as power dynamics and shared finances, is the way through. The New Moon on the 9th can bring a surprise or turning point involving money, support, or attachments. Awakening to feelings – even old ones – feel new this month. It's a powerful period for self-discovery. You’re tidying up on an emotional level, making room for the good stuff to enter your life. However, partnerships require some back and forth, adjustments, and conflicts before they become more comfortable. Your appeal is strong, mysterious, and deep, especially around the 21st to the 22nd. It’s an exciting time for love and desires or a significant personal discovery. Indeed, you can experience powerful emotions, attractions, and discoveries. There can be a sudden emergence of a buried desire to discover and manage. You may be putting more energy and love into your private life, an intimate relationship, research, or investigation. Combining your resources or talents with someone can be beneficial for reaching a goal, and getting financial or moral support is almost effortless now. Feelings you buried or overlooked in recent times can emerge now and surprise you with their strength--or their truth! Keep in mind that you’re bringing out strong reactions and feelings in others, whether or not it’s your intention! There can be passion, romance, and pleasure, although some extremes are also possible. Others are challenging you to experience new things or emotions. Later in the month, you'll also begin to focus on learning, expanding your knowledge of a subject, and connecting with people who broaden your horizons or whom you help guide or teach. On the 18th, the Sun heads into your sector of spirit and adventure, stirring your need to learn, share ideas, and reach out beyond the usual routine of your life. Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, adding more mental energy to these pursuits. The Full Moon on the 24th can stir some drama in your immediate environment, or it can be a time for reaping the rewards of recent projects or learning efforts. If you’ve been avoiding your daily affairs, you now need to bring back more balance to your life. In the last few days of February, you can feel a great need to make productive use of your time, especially mentally. It’s an excellent time to boost your practical skills, and serious discussions are possible. You’re at a critical juncture for reassessing goals and recognizing your priorities. The need to concentrate, focus, and specialize makes itself known. Ideally, you can make new and improved plans to reach your goals. |
LeoFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Leo: February is powerful for relationships, work, and health matters, dear Leo. The first weeks stand out as lively and beneficial for daily affairs, routines, and habits. Besides strong personal influence on the job, there can be happy advances or connections made through pursuing your work or health activities. Close partnerships become a primary focus as the month progresses. Your powers of negotiation skyrocket. People are intrigued with you and drawn to you. Strong feelings and emotions related to a partnership are likely in February as your partnership sector lights up: the Sun is a guest there until the 18th, Mercury from the 5th to the 23rd, Mars from the 13th onward, and Venus visits from the 16th forward. Many of these meet Pluto there, and you could be looking for others to fulfill your desires. Of course, this can be problematic if taken too far, so watch for overidentifying. However, you are certainly magnetizing people to you now. Indeed, February can be a busy and meaningful month for you and your relationships. Turning points or new beginnings in close partnerships are likely after the New Moon on the 9th. Changes in your relationship status or simply a new and improved take on relationships can figure strongly. Paying more attention to a partner’s endeavors can be important now. In fact, when others do well, you do well this month — it’s a time of the year when your fate seems to intertwine closely with another's fate. While you can sometimes feel like the ball is in the other court this month with so much activity occurring in the Western hemisphere of your solar chart, it's part of a natural cycle that encourages you to pay due attention to your work and relationships. Some level of overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work or your daily schedule can be part of your experience, but you can find creative ways to avoid getting lost in the details and organization of your daily life. Until the 13th, you have a great deal of energy for taking care of your everyday life, improving your routines, and attending to health matters. Mind you, you can also be very strong-minded about how to handle your work and health, making it better to work at an independent pace if possible. Particularly as the month advances, you cooperate, mingle, and connect more. A special one-on-one relationship comes into stronger focus. It's a time to bring more pride, charm, warmth, affection, and intensity to your relationships. You’re also inclined to attract strong personalities into your life, or your own behavior draws out these qualities in people you already know well. Alternatively, you could feel a sense of weight if you don’t have someone you can genuinely say is in your corner. With Pluto strong this month, you're bound to have strong feelings about or in your relationships. You might face competition or difficult people trying to get the upper hand in your life or deal with trust issues. Aim to be strong within yourself to project this strength outward, as people around you can be trying to get their way. However, this could also be a time to connect with someone special or discover your needs. If someone pulls up strong feelings inside you, it could be a chance to understand yourself better. More excitement or passion in your life can stir you, prompting new beginnings and a better understanding of your desires. Making things right with others can go a long way toward building your own confidence, but do recognize when this mission is impossible, and aim to let go if so, for your own sake. You may see new layers to a relationship or a person, leading to higher understanding and bonding. The Sun moves into your intimacy sector on the 18th, and Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, turning your attention to commitments, finances, shared resources, and deepening of feelings. Making room for positive attachments, connections, and emotions should be a goal now, which means processing the negative stuff. On the 24th, with a Full Moon in your resources sector, there can be revelations and unveilings centered around money, ownership, valuables, values, talents, sharing of responsibilities, and power dynamics. You close the month with a stronger grip on the reality of your attachments, debts, and intimate relationships. |
VirgoFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Virgo: Work and health matters are coming into powerful focus this month, dear Virgo, but creative and physical activities are also likely to thrive. As powerful as February is for your practical affairs, it's unlikely to be short on fun. Indeed, your romantic or playful inclinations are strong, and you find it easy and natural to attract favorable attention from others. At the same time, your focus on self-care and health programs is growing, possibly to immoderate levels in spots! It's an excellent time not only for finding work but also for relationships on the job. Pursuits focusing on self-improvement or better handling of your daily affairs are attractive. Strong influences in February support a feeling that you're on top of things, contributing, helping, and healing. It's a notably winning time for bringing new, more creative energy to your daily life, job, chores, or the services you provide. People can help you reach your work or health goals, even indirectly. You're finding ways to inject routine work or daily life with more excitement, dynamism, and creativity. It's an ideal time to channel your passion into productive pursuits and move a work or health project forward. Improving your health and daily routines can go a long way toward reaching or getting closer to your longer-term goals. You might develop new strategies to organize your life and structure your routines, and new beginnings along these lines are likely after the New Moon on the 9th. This lunation can inspire you to create better health habits or begin a new diet or fitness regimen. As busy as you are, there is a lovely buzz surrounding you. You're attracting positive attention, and your charm is natural. Mercury, Mars, and then Venus meet Pluto in the sector of your solar chart that rules your work, service, wellness, and self-care efforts. As such, changes seem imminent, and while tension can run high, it can help push you to new heights. The determination to meet or beat a goal is strong, perhaps to obsessive levels! You might decide to eliminate habits in your routine that are counter-productive so that you can focus on those that serve your greater goals. The desire to gain more control over your life can become a driving force. You feel particularly motivated to do meaningful work or to make your work more meaningful to you. A need or desire to completely renovate or reorganize your routines can overcome you this month. Fortunately, you might break new ground with your work or routines or discover a real passion. You can be excited to get around an obstacle. The energy and love you put into what you're doing shows, and it benefits you. You genuinely enjoy getting to the bottom of a matter, even if you push yourself a little too far at times. Your enterprising spirit is in the spotlight. Your services or the work you do can set you apart from others. Instead, this can be a time for discovering more pleasure or excitement in caring for yourself and your environment. You might be able to transform a duty or task into something enjoyable and satisfying. Creative ways to do your chores can figure strongly. The Sun moves into your partnership sector on the 18th, and Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, bringing close relationships into sharper focus. You'll want to pair up to make crucial decisions, or you simply enjoy collaborating and negotiating more thoroughly now. Around the Full Moon in your sign on the 24th, there can be epiphanies, personal triumphs, and discoveries about your life plan, body, and attitude/outlook. You might embrace your independence or enhance a current relationship by improving your self-reliance. It's a time to recognize the need for positive change. Still, the 27th to the 28th brings you back down to earth in a good way, and a partner or good friend can be especially supportive. |
LibraFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Libra: February is a self-expressive period, dear Libra, and your desires and ambitions with creative or romantic pursuits are building. People are drawn to your unique style. Even with great social excitement, you manage to get a lot of work done, although this theme is most prominent towards the end of the month. A lively domestic life is another theme, and you're likely to enjoy improving your living conditions. You have a lovely showing in your sector of joy this month, making February a time of fantastic self-discovery. You're finding new and empowering ways to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity and desire for entertainment or recreation. It helps that you're making pleasing impressions on others on many different levels as planets highlight your natural charm and encourage self-expression. Still, the first half of the month continues a theme of special interest with family life, your domestic world, and home matters. It's a great time to bring more energy and imagination to your personal life. Ideally, this period strengthens your feelings of security and connects you with your inner needs. Passions and ambitions intensify with Pluto in your solar fifth house activated in February. You can become very determined and focused; if you channel this well, you can move mountains. You may experience a strong desire to gain more control over your life, and you're ready to go out on a limb to do so. Getting exceptionally close to your desires, wants, and needs, while disconcerting at first, is enlightening. Acknowledging more deeply buried desires or ambitions is empowering, creating a positive turning point. You might also attract the right resources to you and express your ideas or assert yourself in persuasive, charming ways. Creating something from the heart can be immensely rewarding and successful. You are more awake to the world around you than usual and on fire in the personal appeal department in February. You want to pursue your desires more straightforwardly, but using some restraint and strategy will take you to even better places. You can be motivated to get going on a creative project, hobby, or romance, and it's a great time to inject more spirit into a current relationship or special project. There can be some drama in your social life now. More single-mindedness and focus can help you gain knowledge or learn more efficiently instead of dabbling, and it's satisfying! Love affairs can bring intense personal transformations. It's also a fabulous time for digging deep and exploring your creativity. There is a dramatic and competitive touch to everything you do now. Aim to use intense emotions and compulsions constructively through art or intimacy. You're discovering the need to share your creations or joy with others, and new channels for doing so may open up. While you're in good shape for entertainment, love, creativity, and hobbies in some way all month, new beginnings along these lines are most appropriate after the New Moon on the 9th. This lunation brings new energy and a take-charge attitude to your creative world, and in the week following it, you may be pushing forward a hobby, romance, or creative pursuit. This can be a brand-new beginning, a reboot, or a fresh start. Look for ways to express and enjoy yourself more fully. The Sun and Mercury move into your work and health sector on the 18th and 23rd, respectively, turning your attention to your daily routines, work, and personal well-being. You're in good shape for getting your life and body into shape! The desire to step up or begin health and fitness programs is strong, and you're putting more heart, intelligence, and pride in your work and daily routines. You might discover new ways of taking care of the practical side of life, and it's empowering. If you forget to balance this focus on your daily affairs with rest, the Full Moon on the 24th will remind you! It's a good time to reset the work-rest balance in your life. |
ScorpioFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Scorpio: While there continues to be a strong focus on communicating, connecting, and learning in February, dear Scorpio, you're also paying a lot more attention to your need for comfort, security, and familiarity. You get your message across with charm and grace, and you have much to learn and enjoy. You can be especially motivated to improve your living conditions and boost your personal life this month. Your domestic world is evolving, and this month, you're finding new ways to boost it. In fact, you're doing some interesting renovation in this area of life, whether physical or emotional or a bit of both! It’s an important time to boost your feelings of security and center yourself, even if your mind stays busy. If you need a new approach with family, the cosmos supports you. It can certainly be a time to prioritize your personal life and comfort levels. You might also reorganize or declutter your personal space in such a way that you can think more clearly and feel more comfortable and free in other life departments. Brand new efforts related to your domestic world, home life, and matters pertaining to long-term security and comfort get off to the best start in the week following the New Moon on the 9th, but you’re in good shape for home matters all month. Long-term career projects that sustain you and/or your dependents for many years to come often start in this sector of your solar chart. Decorating, entertaining, and making life a little more beautiful, harmonious, and comfortable can be in focus now. There is intensity brewing in your personal life, too, with not only the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars visiting at different times in February, but also Pluto there as a longer-term guest. While you could sometimes deal with trust issues or complicated emotions and concerns, you may get the chance to channel excess energy into a project around the home or for/with family, and you can be determined to make a difference or a significant change or transformation. The focus should be on renovation, whether this is literal or figurative. Revealing interactions with family members or those very close to you can occur now. It can also be a time for going the extra mile for something you truly want and believe in, which may very well be a stronger sense of security. It can be a time of animation and excitement in your home life or personal circle. You may want to create something special and expressive or unique on the home front. Inspiring and creative ways to improve your domestic world can be a strong draw. Strengthening ties and finding peace with your past can be a goal. What's also very important is that you see yourself and your inner needs and desires more honestly now. Ambitions related to home and comfort are closer to the surface. There is more intensity in your interactions and/or your love and feeling nature such that you may skip over small talk and get straight to the heart of matters. This can be a good time to recognize emotional blocks and seek ways to move past them. The Sun and Mercury move into your sector of romance, joy, and self-expression on the 18th and 23rd, respectively, bringing a playful, creative, and romantic theme to your life. Still, these bodies meet Saturn there on the 28th, and you're also taking these themes more seriously! The desire to improve your life along romantic or creative lines can be compelling. You might take action to correct things that have been making you unhappy or extend thoughtful gestures to someone and boost a connection. The Full Moon on the 24th is good for recognizing your need for friends and camaraderie. It's also a time to connect with your feelings for someone. There can be revelations, unveilings, and important discoveries related to creative endeavors, your love life, relationship with children, networks, friends, and goals. This Full Moon is about being true to yourself and, by extension, to others as well. |
SagittariusFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Sagittarius: While there's a wonderful feeling of abundance and contentment as you begin the month, dear Sagittarius, a more hectic pace is likely as February progresses. For the most part, however, you enjoy it! You are bound to take up new interests and focus on learning and communication endeavors. You might also make new and exciting connections. Your mind is curious, and improved connections are in store as transportation and communication channels open up for you. If you’re tied down and have too little time to feed your desire to explore, you could feel a little overwhelmed. Otherwise, it should be a mentally engaging month. You are especially active, communicative, and thoroughly ready to take action on ideas whirling in your head. It's a powerful time for changing, improving, and renovating studies, personal interests, transportation, communication, and connections. New initiatives may be best saved for the week following the New Moon on the 9th, but you’re certainly busy before then. Siblings, neighbors, or classmates may also be in stronger focus. You’re well-positioned to sort out your daily affairs and collect information, although sometimes you feel overwhelmed by a quick pace. Experimentation with ideas and projects is good now, but don’t overdo this and sacrifice the calm in your world! The Sun travels through your communications sector until the 18th. Mercury, Mars, and Venus later enter this area of your solar chart (on the 5th, 13th, and 16th, respectively) and each meets with Pluto this month! It's a time to focus on and transform your studies, writing, and communicating, although there is a tendency towards intensity that can sometimes work against you if you’re not careful. Otherwise, it can be a rewarding time for personal influence and persuasion. You’re learning to embrace your ambitions and recognize the need to change, reform, and renovate your projects. You can find yourself thoroughly absorbed in a pet project or with learning, teaching, and ideas, or ambitiously chasing a goal. Your powers of persuasion are potent! Because it's a powerful time to get your message across, be sure you’re fully behind what you’re communicating. You can enjoy making important changes or pushing forward a personal plan or project close to your heart. People are drawn to you magnetically, and conversations, interests, projects, and matters to do with the mind can bring you together with someone, or you enjoy these things more thoroughly. It's a strong time for creative visions. Others are attracted to your perspective, words, or ideas. Gentle competition can be motivating. You might make a mental connection with someone special that’s especially notable and enjoyable. You may want to take on a challenging project or enjoy a critical discussion. It’s easy to become worked up about an idea or opinion, and transits now can stir your passion for a mental interest or project. You’re in great shape for getting your message across with unique appeal. Powerful energy is with you for breaking new ground in a project or topic, and this energy will stick with you for some time! You’re incredibly resourceful in February. You have excellent opportunities to make friends and influence people who are exceptionally receptive and appreciative of your ideas. You're emotionally ready to make lifestyle improvements. Opportunities for putting limiting conditions or attitudes behind you can emerge. You’re often finding yourself quite busy with errands, connections, learning, communications, and more movement than usual this month. However, there are also persuasive prompts to settle in and get comfortable. You enjoy a stronger desire to reach out and share your story or connect with others in February. Others appreciate the attention you give them. There can be a lot to do, think, and talk about this month, and doing some juggling is likely. Fortunately, making extra time for rest comes more naturally as the month advances. In fact, later in February, you're likely to focus on your connections with family and personal time for yourself after a sometimes hectic but productive month. The Sun and Mercury move into your home and family sector on the 18th and 23rd, respectively, and you’ll seek a little more comfort, familiarity, safety, and a feeling of belonging than usual. Still, the Full Moon on the 24th calls your strong attention to your worldly affairs, goals, and ventures, temporarily pulling you out of your own little world. This can be dramatic if you’ve been falling behind with your duties, but it can also be a pleasant wake-up call. Reward or recognition for your accomplishments may be in the offing now. |
CapricornFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Capricorn: You are entering a powerful period for increasing your earning power, dear Capricorn, and February can find you busy taking charge of your finances and possessions. Money-making opportunities can present themselves, and you feel incredibly motivated to take advantage of them. Whether it's a more solid position or a special pursuit, this is a good time to give it your all. Achieving a sense of security becomes a priority. You begin the month with Mercury, Venus, and Mars still visiting your sign, and February continues to be a journey of self-discovery for you. Still, the Sun is in your resources sector, and these three planets soon join in (on the 5th, 13th, and 16th). Matters of income, comfort, and security come into strong focus. What you have - and what you don't have - occupies your thoughts more than usual. Your "sweet tooth" for comfort items is strong. You're taking more pride in — and deriving more enjoyment from — your work, money, possessions, valuables, and ability to earn or improve your life. This can also be a time for gaining some appreciation or admiration for your talents and efforts. The week following the New Moon on the 9th is better for starting fresh and taking charge, particularly of business, projects, or money matters and spending habits. However, to some degree, you're in an excellent position to improve your life in these areas all month. Your personal appeal is strong, particularly in the first half of February, which brings your personality, charm, and attractiveness into the spotlight. Others notice you, and you are more decided and confident than usual. You have an accurate sense of trends, wants, and needs this month, and you're well-positioned to judge value and determine which projects and things benefit you the most, as well as those that can be put behind you. February stands out for making important changes to your image as well as money, resources, and talents. In truth, your relationship with your finances, possessions, money, and personal values is transforming. Life lessons and events might occur for you to get in better touch with self-worth, principles, self-defense, and money attitudes. Certainly, there can be intensity revolving around a money matter or question of values in February. The emphasis should be on turning a situation around, and knocking something down and then rebuilding may be just what you need. Material goods, comfort or luxury items, and pleasurable or sensual activities have a greater appeal, and you might want to put an enterprising idea into action. Dreaming up ways to make more money or to make creative changes in a business can figure strongly. You're learning of your desires and connecting honestly with your deeper ambitions along these lines. There can be creative, enterprising ideas and projects, bonuses or gifts coming your way, or exciting purchases. You might earn praise or admiration for your creative talents, and a financial boost is possible. This can also be an excellent time to connect with people who help you achieve practical goals. You accomplish much with a stronger sense of purpose or mission. The Sun and Mercury move into your communications sector on the 18th and 23rd, respectively, effectively pulling you out of your shell and piquing your curiosity about people and information swirling around you. You are drawn to information that brings benefits to your life. Making long-range plans for improving your experience, particularly when it comes to learning and connecting, is favored. It's a time to focus on mentally engaging activities. You're motivated to pursue a study or personal interest. The Full Moon on the 24th can stir a turning point or confrontation with previously buried or overlooked emotions and issues in your life. It can be a time of awards, announcements, publishing, promotion, commitments to learn, and epiphanies about belief systems and projects. |
AquariusFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Aquarius: February has your name written all over it, dear Aquarius. While Mercury, Venus, and Mars begin the month in the sign just behind yours, they move into your sign one by one. They also align with Pluto, which is newly in Aquarius. Plus, the Sun is in Aquarius at the top of the month. It's certainly a time for making an impression, and it's an intense period for self-discovery. You've been on the fence about several matters, but as February advances, your vision is clearer and decision-making is more effortless. It's best to avoid pushing yourself and others too hard. Still, it's an excellent period for a steady increase in energy and motivation so that new endeavors, whether business- or health-related, or personal, fare especially well. With the Sun in your sign until the 18th, all eyes are on you. However, Mars doesn't reach your sign until the 13th, and energy levels may be low until then. Make room for retreat, reorientation, and healing. You have yet to move full-speed ahead. You need some time to process things before making the big decisions! Mercury enters Aquarius on the 5th, when you find your voice, and Venus moves into your sign on the 16th, clarifying your feelings and love relationships. The New Moon in your sign on the 9th boosts your confidence and burning desire--or need--to start fresh. It can also bring surprises and detours, especially in your personal life or domestic world. Again, with Mars not yet emerging in your chart, it's a bit premature to leap into something new. However, it’s a time to shine and feel more in control of your life, mainly concerning your image, body, and personality. A new personal image, look, or manner may go over well in the week after of this lunation. Aim to begin your solar year with confidence and mindfulness. Still, you may want to avoid overly demanding and competitive situations in the meantime. Mercury in your sign from the 5th to the 23rd boosts your ability to socialize and make meaningful connections. The 21st to the 22nd can be particularly strong for meeting interesting people or attracting exciting experiences to you. After several weeks of keeping to yourself more than usual, you’re considerably more engaged and ready to make things happen. Mars awakens your motivation, fire, and energy from the 13th forward. Until then, you still get noticed and have strong personal presence than usual, but you’re not yet full-speed ahead. While you could be wrestling with some decisions, you can, in fact, be a real dynamo if you also take care of your needs for extra solitude and time to yourself. Venus shines in your sign from the 16th, boosting your appeal further. It’s one of the best periods of the year for attracting interesting people, situations, and resources into your life. You are persuasive and personally compelling. You’re ready to put your heart into whatever moves you. This can be a time of much personal passion, power, ambition, and influence. First Mercury and then Venus and Mars align with Pluto in your sign, and you’re attracting what or who you want. Others find you most exciting and vibrant. Even so, there is some tendency to put too much weight or energy into a particular line of thought or pursuit. Passions run high, but obsessiveness might interfere. It’s best to use these powers constructively and enjoy the courage to meet and then beat your goals. People may be looking to you to lead. It’s certainly a time to have a major say in what others think of you, as the power to shape your image is vital. You can come to sudden insights that help you do so. Ideally, frustrations with current conditions can lead to profoundly meaningful changes. There can be a competitive, possessive, and emotional tone to the month, and an inherent need to change yourself or your attitude toward life is with you. The changes you make this month can be defining. The Sun moves into your resources sector on the 18th, and Mercury does the same on the 23rd. You’re especially keen on handling your money, business, resources, and practical affairs. Common sense reigns. Locking something down business-wise can be in the cards. Consider writing, teaching, or otherwise communicating your ideas to improve your financial status. Fortunately, you find it more comfortable than usual to pour your efforts into suitable projects to build your resources and improve your work. Making your life more secure is a big draw, but so is spending! Fortunately, you are more rational than desirous with money now, so you’re likely to come out ahead. |
PiscesFebruary 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Pisces: While February can begin with plenty of activity and socializing, dear Pisces, it settles and quietens as the month progresses. It's a time for collecting yourself, tying up loose ends, and catching up on rest, but it's also an empowering period for doing these things in new, more rewarding ways. In the first half of the month, your personal and group-related endeavors continue to capture your attention. Although your social life can be lively, there are many--and growing-- indicators that you need time to yourself. The Sun in your privacy sector until the 18th is a powerful signal of preparation rather than new action, and Mercury there from the 5th to the 23rd suggests a need to process before finalizing. Mars in the same sector from the 13th points to a need to regroup, and Venus there from the 16th forward suggests that close relationships may require personal sacrifices or privacy. Instead, a lot is happening beneath the surface or behind the scenes, particularly concerning your feelings and affections. You could be reassessing your feelings and attachments or strongly focusing on the past. Mind you, kept in check, this can be pretty positive and growth-oriented — and entirely helpful! It's a time for privacy, relaxation, and preparation, and it's crucial to pace yourself and avoid succumbing to a feeling that you're running out of time. Mercury, Venus, and Mars not only move into your solar twelfth house this month, but they all meet transformative Pluto there, stirring a deep desire or need for change. It's a powerful time to connect with deep passions or ambitions. There can be a lot going on beneath the surface in February, as well as intense, exciting connections, personal revelations, and projects that motivate and thrill you. There can be sudden, revealing moments when feelings emerge seemingly out of nowhere. Circumstances pull up new interests and affections, encouraging you to seek new ways of enjoying and expressing yourself. It's possible you revive an old relationship or project or find out about a secret attraction. Love can be rich, even if (and perhaps even because) it's complicated. With all of these rumblings, it's easy to fixate on a specific topic or idea, which can be positive in moderation, but if overdone, tensions can ensue. Consider that guardedness of your privacy and unwillingness to explore more in-depth issues may be at the root of pressures now, and whether something you've swept under the carpet is better addressed than avoided. In truth, excellent energy is available to you for enjoying your private life and personal pursuits now. If you need to handle a private matter or deal with an ending or a problem from the past, the week following the New Moon on the 9th is more than suitable. Your inner world is a powerful draw, and a part of you will likely remain reserved or withdrawn. It's a good idea to seek a balance between doing and resting. The 18th sees the Sun enter your sign, boosting your visibility and strengthening your presence, and the 23rd forward brings a more powerful voice to the mix. While feeling independent, you also want to share your ideas and use the power of words to improve your life. Use this extra boost of visibility to further your plans. The Sun and Mercury meet each other and Saturn in your sign in the last days of the month, and an idea or plan can come together. Saturn helps keep confidence from developing into over-confidence or arrogance. It also offers you a dose of reality, often when you need it most. Fortunately, it's straightforward to project what you want to put out there. Aligning yourself with a worthy cause can also be very satisfying now. |
