zielo: Fair Warning: Your February Horoscope Predicts A Hectic Month

Brace yourselves, because February is one of the most hectic months out the entire year! It all begins with Mercury retrograde kicking off on January 30, which will turn Aquarius season into a time of contrarian thinking and rebellion. This Mercury retrograde has the power to reunite you with old friends and inspire you to retaliate against injustice. However, be careful—Aquarius is a stubborn fixed sign, which can make it difficult to see the nuances of a situation. Luckily, your February 2021 horoscope is here to walk you through it.

The beginning of the month is jam-packed with airy and eccentric energy. On February 1, Venus—planet of love and friendship—enters Aquarius, encouraging platonic relationships to flourish and instilling within you an independence and strong sense of self. This is a beautiful time to gather in groups of like-minded people (Even virtually!) and embrace the threads that tie all of us together.

Show your love by giving back to your community and organizing for good causes. February 11 is a great time to be thinking about how you can start projects that involves others, because this is when the New Moon in Aquarius takes place. Use this lunation to embrace what makes you unique and protect everyone else’s right to be unique, too.

Aquarius season really gets shaken up on February 17, when grounded, disciplinary Saturn squares off with capricious and revolutionary Uranus. Interestingly enough, these planets are both thought to rule over Aquarius. This results in a pressure cooker of repressed energy, as Saturn wants to maintain tradition and authority, while Uranus wants to take down the establishment and create unfettered progressive change. This may leave you feeling ready to ignore the rules and embrace your freedom, but at the same time, vulnerable to life without structure or limitations. In the end, something has to give!

By February 18, the sun will enter mutable water sign Pisces, enhancing your psychic intuition, your empathetic heart and your imaginative, artistic side. This energetic shift will be felt immediately, especially because Mercury retrograde will come to an end on February 20, refocusing your mindset and your ability to plan for the future.

Venus will also enter Pisces on February 25, infusing your love life with a deep and irresistible level of passion. Just be careful, because Venus in Pisces has the tendency to over-romanticize the object of their affection. Bottom line: Make sure you’re in love with who someone really is, not who you‘d like them to be.

The month ends on a powerful, trailblazing and highly optimistic note. On February 26, expansive Jupiter will form a trine with the North Node, guiding you toward your ultimate destiny and encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone. On February 27, the full moon in logical, analytical and replenishing Virgo will occur, shining a light on your daily routine, your productivity and your self-care regimens. Let this motivate you to dominate the world come March!
