Intensity ahead! Late at night on February 13th (or in the wee hours of February 14th, depending on where you live), catalyst Mars runs into powerhouse Pluto in Aquarius, the sign that Pluto just entered last month. During this alignment, you may get a glimpse of the changes that lie ahead for you while the lord of the underworld tours this part of your chart. The drama continues to unfold as relationship planet, Venus, has her own rendezvous with Pluto on the 17th, giving desires and interactions an unmistakable charge. Then, when ardent Venus and hot-blooded Mars unite on February 22nd, a tantalizing concoction of love and lust could keep the Valentine’s Day vibes going strong. All of these planetary pairings have the potential to be explosive, exciting and transformative — and your response to them will influence how they play out. Read on to find out which area of your life will be the scene of the action.

AQUARIUS
January 20–February 18
After messenger Mercury zips into Aquarius on February 4th, you’ll have the ability to weigh personal matters with added objectivity. Your mind is moving quickly now, and you could feel antsy. You can express your POV with energy and style, so share what you have to say.
On the 7th, relational Venus in your release corner harmonizes with liberating Uranus in your foundation angle, which might inspire you to let go of old feelings and free yourself from the grip of your backstory. The Sun in your sign clashes with Uranus on February 8th, suggesting that your mood or your home life could change on a dime and affect your behavior. You may need to deal with whatever is going on inside you, in your living situation or in your family before you can get back to doing your thing.
The New Moon lands in Aquarius on February 9th, symbolizing your annual invitation to reinvent yourself. What fresh start are you eager to make? What intentions do you want to manifest in the coming year? Which areas of your life would benefit most from your personal growth? And how does it all tie together? Big questions…and only you have the answers!
Mobilizing Mars embarks on a tour of your sign on February 12th, giving you a full head of steam to go after your goals in the next month and a half. Focus on executing your own agenda; don’t worry about getting others onboard. Inadvertent overkill could alienate people. You’re motivated to advance your interests and perhaps prove something in the process. With Mars in your corner, you’ve got the firepower you need. That’s especially true on the 13th when Mars aligns with potent Pluto in Aquarius for the first time in your life, firing you up to do something big and transformative. You need to be aware of how intense your energy is now. Otherwise, you might bulldoze over people without noticing the impact you’re having. Use your impressive personal power as a force for positive change in the world or as a means of changing yourself. Resist the impulse to control others, and avoid doing harm. Lovely Venus sashays into your sign on February 16th, putting you in the mood to socialize, enjoy life and flirt with abandon. Over the next few weeks, the law of attraction is on your side. It’s in FULL effect on February 17th as Venus meets up with penetrating Pluto, sending your charisma skyrocketing. Again, you have substantial power and should use it for good. When you’re this full of passion and sexual magnetism, you can easily wrap people around your finger. The cosmic lovebirds — Venus and Mars — join forces on the 22nd, putting everyone on notice that you’re both irresistible and unstoppable. This blend of glamour and gall is quite magical — so once again, use it well. Recruit allies, bewitch someone you’ve got your eye on, crush a creative goal. Just don’t manipulate anybody. But DO put this alluring badassery to work for you!
The focalizing Sun segues out of Aquarius and into your worth arena on February 18th, shifting your attention from who you are to what you have, what you need and what you value. With mental Mercury skipping into that zone on the 23rd, give some thought to your finances and belongings. Consider how you can better align your priorities with your core values. You’ll have to balance your needs, priorities and values with those of others when a Full Moon rocks your merging province on the 24th. This lunation could stir up strong emotions in a close relationship and possibly test its limits. On a different note, you could pay off a debt, or a loan could come through. That night, Venus in Aquarius elbows excessive Jupiter in your foundation angle, tempting you to go overboard indulging in simple pleasures. Whether you feel like gorging on delicious food, staying up all night binge-watching your favorite show or hosting a crowd, the Aquarius Abode is calling your name. Your family, roommates or other loved ones might be calling too, so if you’ve been out and about lately, make time for them. When Mars in Aquarius clashes with Jupiter on the 27th, you could ride a wave of confidence and behave recklessly. A degree of restraint can prevent you from taking a foolish risk, but don’t stifle yourself to the point of paralysis. Aim for bold action with a sense of proportion. Exuberance that stops short of arrogance is the sweet spot.
When the Sun, Mercury and Saturn coalesce in your resources zone on February 28th, you’ll be highly aware of what you need and what you lack. Your mindset is one of scarcity — rather than abundance — under this dark cloud, and fears of what you stand to lose could dominate. Proactively turn the tables by taking inventory of and organizing your possessions; creating a budget that reflects your real priorities; or carefully planning how to improve your financial prospects. Don’t give in to negativity. Get serious about strengthening your material security.

PISCES
February 19–March 20
After mental Mercury ducks into your subliminal corner on February 4th, you’ll become more circumspect for a few weeks and may want more time to yourself for quiet study, reflection or daydreaming.
When amiable Venus in your network camp clicks with progressive Uranus in your communication court on the 7th, make a point of interacting with new people, especially those who stimulate your mind and offer a fresh perspective. You feel like socializing, but not with just anyone. Surround yourself with an interesting array of humanity who feeds your curiosity. A Sun-Uranus scuffle on February 8th can lead to talking without self-editing. Err on the side of not saying much. If someone’s bluntness irritates you, wait a beat instead of reacting immediately. Your thoughts aren’t fully formed, and speaking off the cuff can backfire.
The New Moon in your spirit sector on February 9th coaxes you to initiate a new practice that nourishes your spirit. Anything from a morning meditation to journaling could fit the bill. You also might resolve now to release something or someone from your life for the sake of healing or closure.
Once doer Mars gets settled in the last house of your chart on the 12th, where he’ll be hibernating for the next month and a half, your best bet is to work quietly behind the scenes and wrap up unfinished business without expecting recognition for your efforts. If you fall into an old self-sabotaging behavior pattern, try to nip it in the bud. You may need to process some buried anger that resurfaces during this period. A Mars-Pluto mashup on the 13th compels you to grapple with something troubling in your psyche instead of sweeping it under the rug. If you don’t tune into what’s happening inside you, you could operate in an unconscious, destructive manner. Spend time alone facing an inner demon or throwing yourself into a demanding project. You’ll start to feel less social and more inclined to hang solo — or with someone special — after Venus slips into your release corner on February 16th. During her three-and-a-half-week stay, you might nurse a secret crush or savor intimate moments behind closed doors. Your fantasy life is likely to be vivid, and you could pine for someone unattainable. Selfless compassion can move you to make a heartfelt gesture to help another person — a beautiful manifestation of this energy. When Venus aligns with potent Pluto the next day, a private connection or desire could intensify. Pain or jealousy might arise from deep within you, and forgiveness will have a cathartic effect. You can transform your own relationship to the past under this planetary pairing. On the 22nd, a Venus-Mars rendezvous can result in a secret hookup that generates a strong concoction of love and lust. Not into anyone? A kindhearted gesture or unselfish act can be its own reward.
The Sun blazes into Pisces on February 18th, infusing you with energy and pushing you out into the world if you’ve been hiding out. This is the time of year when you’re supposed to focus on yourself and what you want out of the coming year. Other people are likely to focus on you too, since the Sun’s vitality amplifies your personality to the nth degree during its annual monthlong visit. And Mercury’s arrival in your sign on the 23rd will get you talking, as you’re inspired to express your point of view now. Your mind will be active, and you can contemplate personal matters through a clear lens. That objectivity will come in handy when a Full Moon shakes up your one-on-one angle on the 24th. A relationship could reach the boiling point, or people could seem highly emotional to you. You may have to juggle your needs and theirs, finding a workable compromise. If it’s time to take things to the next level with your S.O., or you’re heading for a break (or a breakup), this lunation can force your hand. That night, as Venus spars with no-holds-barred Jupiter in your mindset-and-communication corner, you might think unrealistically or overshare. Be careful not to divulge a secret or sacrifice too much for an undeserving person. But if you’re moved to do something generous for a cause you believe in, go for it! The Mars-Jupiter dustup on February 27th suggests that bottled-up aggression or private intel could come bursting out. Be mindful of your mood and your subconscious motives — and take extra care with your words.
The Sun and Mercury both hold their annual summits with serious Saturn on February 28th, and it’s all happening in your sign. You’re likely to be tired, circumspect and possibly lonely. But getting organized and tackling essential tasks can provide you with the sense of capability you need now. It’s not pleasant to feel isolated, but quiet solitude will offer you a chance to pull your thoughts together and decide what you want to focus on going forward.

ARIES
March 21–April 19
With mental Mercury sailing into your hopes-and-humanity house on February 4th, your mind shifts to what’s next for you and who you can connect with. In the next couple of weeks, you might reach out to friends, do a bit of professional networking and put the word out on social media.
A collaboration between alluring Venus in your ambition angle and gamechanger Uranus in your resources realm on February 7th hints that tapping into your singular talents will enable you to appeal to decision-makers, or creative work could boost your confidence and finances. In any case, the best path to success will NOT be the most travelled one, so seek unique routes to the top. The Sun and Uranus are at odds on the 7th, so your self-assurance may waver due to peer pressure, or your personal values might deviate from group interests. Don’t compare yourself to others! Recognize that everyone has their own individual qualities and challenges. Be open to the idea of bending a little, but stay true to yourself. On February 9th, the New Moon falls in your network sector, nudging you to expand your circle, join an organization, make a new friend or launch a collaboration that benefits people in need, such as a donation drive for migrants.
With go-getter Mars charging into that same house on the 12th, “Teamwork makes the dream work” should be your motto for the next month and a half. Be proactive about putting the word out if you’re pursuing a new goal. Get bolder in your approach to professional networking. Seek out people who share your ideals or aspirations and join forces on worthwhile endeavors. There’s strength in numbers. Mars meets up with intense Pluto on February 13th, which could trigger a power struggle in a group and might even damage a friendship. Again, you could opt to channel this energy into a humanitarian effort or a team project that may have far-reaching impact. Your social life is bound to pick up after Venus dances into this convivial part of your chart for a three-and-a-half-week tour on the 16th. Make a point of seeing your friends and RSVPing yes to large gatherings, where you’ll thrive on the energy of the crowd. But as Venus lines up with Pluto on the 17th, jealousy could rear its ugly head. Get to the bottom of things instead of glossing over them. A platonic bond might turn sexual, a friendship might grow deeper, or you might become attracted to someone you meet through technology, like a dating app. A Venus-Mars rendezvous on February 22nd favors social action. Team up with people who share your ideals, goals or interests, and make something happen. It’s also the perfect time to check out a new group, make friends and establish career contacts. Plus, this planetary mashup can set off sexual sparks with a platonic pal or make a big get-together exciting and memorable.
Your energy will wane somewhat after the Sun sneaks into your release corner on the 18th, signaling that your solar year is drawing to a close. If you need quiet solitude to rest and reflect, don’t feel guilty about taking it. This is your time to recharge your battery before your birthday season begins in earnest next month. With Mercury joining the Sun there on the 23rd, you could start keeping your thoughts to yourself more and tuning into your intuition and imagination. Don’t stay silent if something really needs to be said. But do spend time pondering in peace and perhaps studying or doing research. The Full Moon of February 24th lands in your efficiency court, and it might produce a health or job crisis that grabs your attention. It’s a good time to drop something from your schedule in an effort to streamline. This is the annual lunation that compels you to pull the plug on a negative habit. Identify one that doesn’t contribute to the quality of your daily life and maybe even detracts from it — then kick it to the curb! Venus jostles with excessive Jupiter in your worth arena that night, implying that socializing will spur you to overspend, or you’ll give more than your fair share when you go along with group interests. You want to be a team player, but you should also keep an eye on your own bottom line. When Mars quarrels with Jupiter on the 27th, greed, overconfidence or overestimating your resources can create problems with others, so try to practice moderation. As the Sun, Mercury and Saturn coalesce at the end of your chart on February 28th, it’s natural to turn inward and reflect on the past in preparation for the personal fresh start that Aries season offers in a few weeks. You’re bound to need plenty of R and R and might feel a bit blue because of the somber tone Saturn sets. Bear in mind that this cosmic conference is brief, and you’re better off trying to gain something from it than trying to escape it.

TAURUS
April 20–May 20
Cerebral Mercury climbs to the peak of your chart on February 4th, so your mind will be on goals and strategies for a couple of weeks. This is a great time to plot your professional path, formulate objectives, connect with higher-ups and articulate your ambitions.
Your ruler, lovely Venus, in your exploration court makes nice with progressive Uranus in Taurus on February 7th, giving you a green light to enjoy pleasures off the beaten path. Experiences that expand your consciousness and break boundaries of convention will quell your restlessness, so you might flirt with someone who’s not your type if you’re single. Coupled Bulls could crave a romantic getaway, but another adventure or learning experience will also satisfy that craving. The egocentric Sun in your authority arena argues with Uranus the next day, calling for you to keep impulses in check. Resist the urge to rebel against a boss or bureaucracy or to swerve off track trying to gain your independence. And don’t make yourself crazy trying to rush success. Your individuality can be an asset AND a liability now. Use it to stand out, not to game the system. The New Moon in your achievement angle on February 9th encourages you to set new goals, embark on a fresh chapter in your career or chart a new course in your life.
Mobilizing Mars ascends to that angle on the 12th, sending your ambition into overdrive for the next month and a half. Choose projects you’re passionate about, and be your own boss if possible. You might throw yourself into pursuing an existing aim or assume bigger responsibilities with gusto. It’s a fruitful period, but your zeal to get ahead can cause you to step on toes, so be conscious of your effect on others. Mars aligns with powerful Pluto the next day, amplifying your determination to pursue your agenda. This cosmic combo may cause you to come on strong with authority figures, so be mindful of how hard you’re pushing and who’s apt to notice. Working very hard on something independently can yield tremendous results. After Venus sashays into the same part of your chart on February 16th, you can turn on the charm with people in power and get along swimmingly with colleagues, blending magnetism and motivation in the next few weeks. You’ll have the ability to do noteworthy creative work and attract favorable circumstances in your professional life, so keep a high profile. On the 17th, a Venus-Pluto meetup can help you secure a powerful mentor, take on a visible leadership role or do impressively stylish work. Again, try not to ruffle feathers in the process. When Venus and Mars canoodle on the 22nd, you can combine positive PR and tangible action. Focus on a project you’re passionate about, and if Mars makes you seem too competitive, Venus will soften the rough edges. You might be drawn to someone older or more experienced than you or set #CoupleGoals with your significant other.
After the radiant Sun blazes into your network arena on the 18th, you’ll find it easier to integrate your identity with that of others and be a team player. Collaborations and group settings will energize you, and you’ll naturally gravitate to the circle of people in your life. Mercury follows suit on February 23rd, encouraging you to make new contacts. It’s easy to connect with people and get on the same page in the next couple of weeks. Even talking to friends can seem more organic and productive than usual, so share your ideas, discuss problems or ask for advice. The Full Moon of February 24th lands in your joy province and awakens an urge to play. You won’t be able to hide what you’re feeling. A love affair could burst into bloom or wither on the vine, depending on how healthy it is. Trust that it’s for the best.
With Venus egging on confident Jupiter in your sign that night, you long for the freedom to do creative work or to carve out the professional or public position you desire for yourself. You’re not inclined to hold back in your relations with authority figures now, so be sure you’re not coming across as smug. And aim to make learning a key part of your mission. Mars does battle with Jupiter on the 27th, so once again, you run the risk of causing offense in your quest to accomplish what you’ve set out to do. Your drive is a plus, but stay aware of how your behavior is perceived.
As the Sun, Mercury and restrictive Saturn convene on February 28th, you won’t be in a very sociable mood. It can be challenging to relate to people and feel connected under this dark cloud, and you might have a keen sense of your own separateness. But you can bridge the distance by answering the call of duty and contributing your efforts to a group endeavor or being the reliable one in your crew.

With Venus egging on confident Jupiter in your sign that night, you long for the freedom to do creative work or to carve out the professional or public position you desire for yourself. You’re not inclined to hold back in your relations with authority figures now, so be sure you’re not coming across as smug. And aim to make learning a key part of your mission. Mars does battle with Jupiter on the 27th, so once again, you run the risk of causing offense in your quest to accomplish what you’ve set out to do. Your drive is a plus, but stay aware of how your behavior is perceived.
As the Sun, Mercury and restrictive Saturn convene on February 28th, you won’t be in a very sociable mood. It can be challenging to relate to people and feel connected under this dark cloud, and you might have a keen sense of your own separateness. But you can bridge the distance by answering the call of duty and contributing your efforts to a group endeavor or being the reliable one in your crew.
GEMINI
May 21–June 20
Your ruler, Mercury, marches into your exploration corner on February 4th, encouraging you to look further down the road and take in the big picture. Your hunger for knowledge could inspire you to travel or study during the next two weeks.
Sweet Venus in your depth sector harmonizes with changemaker Uranus on the 7th, which could produce liberating closeness or compassionate introspection. Self-love is a prerequisite for true intimacy, and the feelings you have now can be a revelation. Carve out alone time or private time with someone you care about to get the most out of this planetary pairing. The Sun feuds with Uranus in your subliminal arena on the 8th, hinting that a subconscious impulse could catch you by surprise and go against your own best interest. You might give up on a new experience prematurely out of fear and sabotage your growth in the process. You’re called to wake up and shake things up, so move towards what you don’t know, even if it requires a spontaneous detour. The New Moon on the 9th underscores the value of tapping into your adventurous streak and taking a leap of faith. If it helps, adopt a mantra that makes you feel brave.
After bold Mars blazes into your exploration corner on February 12th, you won’t have any trouble finding the courage to go out on a limb and have exciting learning experiences. You might fight for a cause, take a trip, sign up for a class or embark on an entrepreneurial venture. Whatever you do, remember you’re not meant to play it safe in the next month and a half. You might be compelled to stand up for your beliefs when Mars and powerful Pluto come together on the 13th. This would be a good time to work hard to change something in the world. Don’t force your views on others, but do direct your will toward a fair and just purpose. You might dive deeply into the study of a challenging subject. An unfamiliar experience is likely to be powerful and can shift your perspective to a remarkable degree. Magnetic Venus soars into that part of your chart on the 16th, taking the blinders off and highlighting the appeal of difference. If you’ve been focused on a particular person or a few close bonds, now you want to branch out and meet new people who can show you various aspects of life. Your interactions and cultural experiences can expand your consciousness in the next few weeks, so meander into the unknown and sample novel pleasures. Venus’s date with Pluto the next day can intensify new experiences even further, giving you extra incentive to say yes to something — or someone — different. Venus and Mars, cosmic consorts, canoodle on February 22nd, inspiring you to go for it. You could make the first move on someone who’s not your usual type; sign up for something slightly intimidating like ballroom-dancing lessons; book a vacation to a faraway dream destination; or take some other exhilarating risk.
After the Sun ascends to the pinnacle of your chart on February 18th, you’re poised to channel more energy into achieving your goals, and the coming month may nudge you into the spotlight. Don’t hesitate to prove yourself in a public or professional setting. It’s your turn to shine! Mercury makes the same move on the 23rd, helping you to formulate ambitious aspirations, make career plans and communicate with higher-ups. If it’s time to ask for a raise or promotion, you might make your case in the next couple of weeks.
The Full Moon in the opposite house on February 24th could bring private feelings to the surface, and you may get a little prickly. Set aside time for soothing self-care and figure out what else you can do to make yourself more comfortable in your home and in your own skin. If the balance between your personal and professional lives has been uneven, consider this your cue to give Casa Gemini and your kith and kin more attention.
A Venus-Jupiter run-in that night suggests that when something seems too good to be true, it very well could be. Dial down your enthusiasm long enough to take a second look and listen to your intuition. When Mars has the same spat with amplifying Jupiter on the 27th, you might cross a line while asserting your views or behave a little recklessly in the name of growth. Do your best to maintain self-awareness.
The Sun, Mercury and serious Saturn hold a summit in your ambition angle on February 28th, which may cause you to zero in on what you want to accomplish and how you hope to do it. Whether you’re focused on your career path or your overall life direction, your sense is that progress will be slow. You’ll feel better about the odds of success if you spend your energy judiciously, chipping away at a goal. Even taking baby steps or pondering a long-term plan will be gratifying.

CANCER
June 21–July 22
With mental Mercury sneaking into your hidden-matters house on February 4th, you might delve into a research project or introspection in the next couple of weeks. Don’t be afraid to probe deeper, Crab.
It’s easy to get along with people on the 7th, thanks to harmony between amiable Venus in your relationship realm and liberating Uranus in your humanity house. This planetary pairing can make your interactions lively and entertaining and help you find the right balance of personal space. But the fiery Sun’s quarrel with Uranus the next day suggests a sudden need for breathing room might trigger mistrust or jealousy. Maybe you have an urge to hang with your friends, sans your significant other. If you need a break from intense intimacy or a passion project you’ve been obsessed with, it’s okay to come up for air! After a New Moon lands in your depth-and-sharing sector on February 9th, a relationship could heat up, or an outside resource like a loan or grant could come through. You could also turn an emotional corner and move on from a loss or crisis.
After go-getter Mars sails into that same sector on February 12th, you could plunge into an investigation of sorts, a joint venture or an endeavor that lights you up and consumes much of your interest. Whatever you do in the next five and a half weeks is likely to draw your undivided attention, so choose wisely. Your libido may shift into overdrive, motivating you to make extra-bold moves. As Mars aligns with profound Pluto on the 13th, a certain relationship could get very intense — for better or for worse. If you form a new connection now, it’s bound to be a powerful one. If you’re happily single, note that this is also a fortuitous time to grapple with something in your psyche and transform it. Once Venus sashays into the same part of your chart on the 16th, your craving for closeness will increase, and an intimate relationship may warm up. The next few weeks are favorable for seeking emotional support from a loved one or financial aid. The next day’s Venus-Pluto rendezvous could intensify your private feelings or a particular relationship, and you might relish a powerful sexual attraction. If you’re faced with fixation, control, possessiveness or another strong, challenging emotional matter, you might care deeply enough to work through it, or you might simply become overwhelmed temporarily. Venus’s tryst with Mars on February 22nd hints at physical passion, as it conjures up the perfect blend of magnetic attraction and hot pursuit. But don’t assume this planetary pairing will go to waste if sex isn’t in the picture. You can solicit the support you want (including monetary); savor quality bonding time with a friend; or tune into your emotional core and possibly shift something deep inside you. Most of this is quite private, meaning you shouldn’t hesitate to carve out alone time.
After the Sun rockets into your exploration corner on February 18th, you’ll feel much freer to broaden your horizons and have new experiences, so the month that follows is an ideal time for any kind of learning and travel. After Mercury makes the same move on the 23rd, you could start to dream big and might hatch plans for a trip or another type of adventure you can look forward to. Let your curiosity lead you to discover new places and knowledge. This is a period for stimulating your mind and broadening your outlook. The Full Moon of February 24th lights up the opposite house in your chart, which rules thinking and talking. You might be flooded with emotions that you want to articulate or receive a lot of information you need to process. Chances are you’ll be pulled in at least a few different directions. Don’t feel like you have to attend to everything all at once. That same night, a Venus-Jupiter scrimmage might inspire you to go out with your S.O. and your friends or theirs. Or you might circulate and meet plenty of people in the hopes of making a love connection. If you ARE looking for new prospects, maximizer Jupiter reminds you that it’s a numbers game. And since the house he’s touring happens to govern technology, dating apps and social media can improve your odds. Mars argues with Jupiter on February 27th, hinting that sex and friendship will be a risky mix. You might get involved with someone who clashes with your crew or your ideals. Look before you leap! On February 28th, as the Sun, Mercury and sobering Saturn coalesce in your expansion zone, you could take a long hard look at the future and perhaps contemplate vast issues like the meaning of life. If you were on the brink of branching out and exploring unfamiliar territory, you’re liable to rein yourself in now and formulate a more strategic approach. What do you need to learn in order to manifest your vision? What steps will make a leap of faith more successful? This is a day for designing a solid game plan.

LEO
July 23–August 22
More of your attention will shift to one-on-one relationships after messenger Mercury crosses your interpersonal angle on February 4th, opening up the lines of communication. Bounce ideas off people to get feedback, explain your position to a partner and reach out to others so you feel connected and engaged.
When pleasant Venus in your efficiency corner vibes with liberating Uranus in your ambition arena on February 7th, enjoyment of your work, a sincere desire to help others, and doing something creative can propel you forward on your path. The fiery Sun spars with Uranus on the 8th, making it more difficult to see eye to eye on goals. One party might be itching for more autonomy or balking under the thumb of authority. The next day’s New Moon in your relationship realm could hint at a new partnership that’s just around the corner — or you might take an existing connection to the next level. This lunation can also allude to relating to people in a different way and shifting your dynamic so you play a different role.
Dynamic Mars crosses your interpersonal angle on February 12th and puts down stakes there for nearly six weeks, cueing you to recruit a plus-one to do things with; be proactive about airing grievances; and make a point of fighting fair. When Mars and penetrating Pluto join forces on the 13th, you may experience a conflict with another individual, and a power struggle is a strong possibility. A relationship crisis is also possible, especially if there’s a need for major change. You might opt to partner with someone on a taxing but worthwhile endeavor. Try not to overreact to forceful, and potentially destructive, energy coming at you from other people. Recognize your own role in your interactions. Once Venus saunters into the same part of your chart on February 16th, you’ll feel more in tune with people and able to strike a good balance between “me” and “we.” You’ll be in the mood for companionship and won’t have any trouble expressing your affection for others. If you’ve contemplated extending the olive branch to someone you had a falling-out with, the amiable vibe of the next three and a half weeks lends itself to making peace. Venus’s rendezvous with Pluto the very next day amps up emotions and could be an indicator of a powerful encounter or person. Maybe you’ll meet someone who has a profound effect on you, or an existing relationship will change when the part you play in it changes. The union of Venus and Mars on February 22nd brings harmony to your interactions, but they won’t be sedate to the point of being dull. Au contraire! This cosmic coupling implies major desire and attraction. Not interested in anyone at the moment? The energy is also ideal for creative collaboration and engaging in fun activities with a partner in crime.
The Sun dives into your depth realm on February 18th, encouraging you to shine a light on a close relationship, a passion project or a private emotional issue and give it your all. This is a time of year for putting blinders on and focusing intently on what (and whom) you’re most invested in. With Mercury following suit on the 23rd, even more of your attention will shift to an important bond, a personal matter or an investigation of sorts. Don’t be content to skim the surface. Dig deeper and probe for answers that resonate. You might hit on sticky truths and psychological profundities. Confiding in someone you trust will help you process your thoughts. The Full Moon in the opposite house of your chart on February 24th can make you highly emotional about your needs and may call for you to balance give-and-take or “mine” and “ours.” This lunation can also trigger an urge to splurge or an influx of cash. Plus, it’s a great excuse to make sure you’re feeding your five senses amply.
When Venus and aspirational Jupiter scuffle that night, you’re liable to set the bar high in a relationship. Pushing for too much too fast could always backfire, but having clear expectations is your prerogative. You might be enjoying someone’s company so much that you want to make plans you can look forward to. As Mars has the same dustup with Jupiter on February 27th, your drive may lead you to push someone too hard — or it could be the other way around. A cooperative effort will yield better results than a solo one that day, so consider joining forces.
On a similar note, you might press another person to get what you feel you need from them when the Sun, Mercury and withholding Saturn convene on February 28th. The more worried you are about dependence, the more controlling you could become. If you’re serious about holding up YOUR end of the bargain, you’ll see mutual trust paying off. This planetary gathering can also help you to grasp an emotional reality and handle complex issues with a cool head.

VIRGO
August 23–September 22
With your ruling planet, cerebral Mercury, skipping into your productivity corner on February 4th, you’re able to focus on your work and think everything through in detail over the next couple of weeks. Since this house in your chart naturally rules all things Virgo, such as wellness and efficiency, hopefully you’ll have a sense that you’re in a good groove.
On the 7th, positive vibes between desirous Venus in your joy precinct and liberating Uranus in your expansion camp may inspire a romantic trip, a creative gamble, unexpected fun or eye-opening adventure. Simple pleasures won’t suffice, as you’re seeking horizon-broadening experiences. For maximum satisfaction, venture into untested waters. But the Sun’s run-in with Uranus the very next day implies that your attention span will reach its limit, at which point you’re sure to get distracted and need time off. Overwork can backfire if you’re so stressed and tired that you’re no longer effective and you’re more susceptible to illness. Take a break before you desperately need it. The new moon of February 9th lands in the part of your chart (mentioned above) that’s associated with Virgo matters. This lunation encourages you to initiate a positive habit, learn a new skill, start a different diet or exercise regimen, launch a job search, streamline your schedule or adopt a pet.
Go-getter Mars barrels into that same house on February 12th, giving your productivity yet another nice boost. In the next month and a half, you could tackle your to-do list and your inbox, log overtime at the office and take the bull by the horns when it comes to improving your wellbeing. Challenging workouts will enable you to offload the stress of this rise-and-grind period. Mars bumps into intense Pluto on the 13th, which might generate a work or health crisis. But this energy can also be used for very impactful work and self-improvement. Do something to enhance your wellness or your everyday life. And sidestep conflicts with coworkers if possible. Venus arrives in this part of your chart on the 16th, luring you to show creative flair on the job or work on a relationship in the next few weeks. When she meets up with Pluto the next day, you might obsess over little things or become a bit of a control freak at work. Curb a desire to criticize and micromanage, and instead, concentrate on deepening the pleasure you get out of your job or your daily routine. Assertiveness and amiability will complement each other beautifully as Venus and Mars align on February 22nd. Mars can help you accomplish tons, while Venus reminds you that you don’t have to do it alone. For example, being proactive about improving your health is easier and more fun when you have support. Recruit an exercise buddy or swap nutritious recipes with friends.
The vitalizing Sun crosses your interpersonal angle on the 18th, breathing new life into your one-on-one relationships in the month that follows. Look for opportunities to connect with other individuals and partner up to accomplish more than you could alone. After Mercury follows suit on February 23rd, dialogue with other individuals is emphasized, and you may find yourself encountering fresh faces more often than usual. You might also clear the air with a partner or enjoy plenty of stimulating conversations with clever people. The next day, a Full Moon in Virgo gives you permission to put your needs and feelings first, as long as you don’t infringe on the rights of others. If you have an urge to vent, explain what you’re going through. Hopefully people will understand. And note what — or who — is pushing you over the edge. This is the perfect chance to release something or someone from your life if they aren’t good for you.
That night, you may not have an easy time staying in the moment and enjoying what you’re doing. Chalk it up to a spat between Venus and overblown Jupiter in your exploration center. You’re craving an escape, and a change of scene would do you good. If you can’t go anywhere, at least seek out an unfamiliar experience or subject matter so you can satisfy your mind. A taste of freedom and stimulation can assuage your restlessness. As Mars scuffles with Jupiter on February 27th, you could get pulled off track if you’re rushing or painting with a broad brush. Take a pleasant break, then get back to what you were doing if it’s pressing.
When the Sun, Mercury and Saturn all cross paths on the 28th, you may need to fulfill a personal obligation. Or someone might put you to the test, requiring you to rise to the challenge. Relationships can be hard now, especially if you feel like you’re under another person’s thumb. This could be an opportunity to redefine your role in an important relationship — or with others in general. Give your bonds serious thought today rather than projecting any negativity onto others.

LIBRA
September 23–October 22
With messenger Mercury zinging into your joy province on February 4th, creative thinking, humor, reading for pleasure and intellectual amusements are all favored in the next couple of weeks. You’ll be using your brain and your speech for purposes that make you happy during this period.
On the 7th, your ruling planet, Venus, in your domestic angle syncs up with whimsical Uranus in your depth precinct, hinting at impromptu bonding with family or roommates. Quality time with someone close to you might give you a better understanding of an emotional issue. The pleasures of home have a cathartic effect now. But the Sun’s scuffle with wild-card Uranus on the 8th tells you not to expect people to be coming from the same place as you. Don’t put too much pressure on a response. Just be you, and if another person doesn’t seem to get you, that’s okay. You can only play your role and allow others to play theirs. And your feelings are yours to feel. If someone doesn’t share yours and that bothers you, remind yourself that their feelings are uniquely theirs. On February 9th, the New Moon lands in your love-and-happiness house, emphasizing your personal fulfillment. You might soon get into a new hobby or romance, start a creative project or explore a different avenue of self-expression.
After fiery Mars charges into that same house on the 12th, you’ll be motivated to go after what you want and to actively contribute your unique talents to the world. Show off your creativity, ask out your crush and pursue fun with your friends in the next month and a half. Do things just because they put a smile on your face! Mars has a tête-à-tête with powerful Pluto the very next day, which could intensify a love affair or give you an overwhelming urge to play. You want what you want now and are determined to go after it. A big risk could be impossible to resist. With Venus pirouetting into this sector on the 16th, your desire to enjoy life deepens even further. Wear your heart on your sleeve when the spirit moves you, let your inner artiste (and your inner child) out to play and relish the feeling of being very much yourself. Venus’s encounter with Pluto on February 17th turns up the heat on all of the above, intensifying romance, creative pursuits, pleasure and fun. There’s more passion involved now, and you could become rather obsessed—possibly even jealous or controlling. An alliance between Venus and Mars on the 22nd alludes to a connection that’s rooted in both love and lust. It’s possible to channel this sweet and spicy stimulation into an artistic effort or any fun activity that suits your fancy. The idea is to revel in being authentic and chasing after your heart’s desire. You can pull it off with a bold edginess that’s tempered by an alluringly soft touch.
After the sun blazes a trail into your productivity corner on the 18th, you’ll be fired up to accomplish a lot in the month that follows. Some of your energy is geared toward work instead of play now, so get down to business when necessary and take pride in a job well done. With Mercury following suit on February 23rd, your mindset becomes more serious, and your attention to detail improves. You’ll start to think in terms of solving problems and improving what isn’t working perfectly. This is a good time to tackle challenging mental tasks. But on the 24th, a Full Moon in the opposite house draws your attention inward — to your dreams, spirituality, imagination, intuition and subconscious. You may feel a need to retreat from the world momentarily to replenish your soul and rest your body.
That night, with Venus provoking maximizer Jupiter in your intensity realm, a romance or a creative collab could blossom. But you may not be able to decipher what’s real until the rush wears off a bit. Your expectations are high, and only time will tell if they’ll be met. On February 27th, the same battle between Mars and Jupiter may lead you to overshare or rush into a sexual relationship. Again, high expectations could cause problems, and so could a lack of restraint. Try to feel out the situation before diving into deep waters.
Duty calls on the 28th when the Sun, Mercury and taskmaster Saturn mingle in your productivity corner, reminding you that you haven’t made it through your to-do-list. You won’t have the energy to take on a mountain of work, so home in on key tasks that absolutely have to get done. If it seems like you’re the only one with your shoulder to the wheel, rest assured that plenty of people are focused on what they need to do. Try not to stress yourself out with doom-and-gloom thinking.

SCORPIO
October 23–November 21
Mental Mercury sneaks down to the base of your chart on February 4th, putting you in closer touch with your innermost thoughts and feelings. You might get sentimental and nostalgic as your mind wanders down memory lane in the next couple of weeks.
Pleasant Venus in your attitude arena will be in cahoots with liberating Uranus on the 7th, encouraging you to notice how people are beautiful in their own unique way. Express your affection and appreciation for loved ones. However, when the Sun has a feud with Uranus on the 8th, you can’t predict a person’s response or behavior and shouldn’t try. If a curveball comes your way, don’t take it personally and subsequently overreact. If you have to confront someone, do what you need to do. But first, be sure you’re not responding based on projection. On February 9th, the New Moon in your foundation angle nudges you to actively increase your comfort level and improve your living situation. Anything from a different mattress to a different roommate could be the ticket to domestic bliss. In the weeks that follow, you might opt to redecorate, relocate or renovate.
After go-getter Mars, your traditional ruler, descends to the base of your chart on February 12th, working from home or working on your home will make a lot of sense in the next month and a half. You might feel irritable and get into pointless quarrels without understanding why, particularly around the house or with a family member. But if you stop to figure out what’s eating at you and try to fix it, you can sidestep unnecessary strife. Fights may be hard to avoid on the 13th when Mars runs into your modern ruler, intense Pluto. Turbulent emotions are getting stirred up, so pay attention to what’s going on inside you. You might use this energy to tackle a big household project, as you have the power to transform your space now. It’s also a good time to work through difficult feelings or memories in an effort to change and heal. As Venus slides into that angle on February 16th, the pleasures of home and family take on added appeal. In the next few weeks, you may be in the mood to feather your nest, cook, entertain or spend quality time with your couch. You’re apt to choose downtime in familiar surroundings over going out and socializing. Don’t feel guilty about it! When Venus encounters Pluto on the 17th, you’ll probably feel rather moody, and that could affect your interactions. Try tweaking the aesthetics of your abode somehow. Whether you’re into feng shui or not, you might notice a subtle shift in the energy around you. Either way, it’s worth a try. Emotional bonding could be in the cards when Venus hooks up with Mars on February 22nd. But since Mars rules the libido, Chez Scorpio could be also be a hotbed of sexual fulfillment. If you develop a new crush under this planetary map, there’s a good chance the object of your affection will be a familiar person you feel at ease with.
Once the radiant Sun shows up in your joy realm on the 18th, you’ll have the energy to get out and have fun. Turn some of your attention to what makes you happy — and then invite more of it into your life! Express your personality, creativity, feelings and romantic streak more freely in the month ahead. Mercury follows suit on the 23rd, activating your sense of humor, creative thinking and playfulness and helping you to speak from the heart. You might read or write for pleasure more and amuse yourself with games that make you think. A Full Moon in the opposite house on February 24th alludes to an epic night out with friends or the culmination of a group effort. This lunation also pushes you to expand the network of people in your life.
That night, a Venus-Jupiter skirmish prompts you to revel in the pleasure of companionship. The more at home you feel with someone, the sunnier your outlook will be. Mars has the same dustup with Jupiter on February 27th, which may trigger irritability and cause you to take out your frustrations on a person whom you expect a lot of. You might need to work on tolerating your own feelings and the imperfections of others.
The Sun, Mercury and sobering Saturn convene in your joy realm on the 28th, which should get you thinking about what you want and what plans you can make so you’ll be more satisfied with your life. You feel compelled to get your act together, but not in reference to weighty matters like money or career on this particular day. You’re not feeling totally fulfilled and can plot how to fix that problem — whether it be a more systematic approach to dating or putting more playtime on the calendar.

SAGITTARIUS
November 22–December 21
Messenger Mercury’s arrival in your thinking-and-talking corner on February 4th will rev up your mind and your speech for the next couple of weeks. Your thoughts and words will come to you quickly, and restlessness can inspire local explorations or a short trip.
A creative talent can help you produce unique work when artistic Venus in your assets arena collaborates with inventive Uranus in your productivity corner on February 7th. Strong self-worth and clear desires will spur you to find clever ways to get something done. But the vitalizing Sun’s clash with Uranus on February 8th can divert your focus and force you to change gears — for instance, if work, health or circumstances spring a surprise on you. Don’t stress out if life doesn’t go according to plan. You’ve been tweaking the everyday systems that enable you to function well, and some built-in flexibility will make them more resilient. With a New Moon rising in your thinking-and-talking corner on the 9th, it’s time to follow your curiosity where it leads you. Initiate conversations, gather information, connect with the people around you and become more active in your community.
After assertive Mars shows up in that part of your chart on the 12th, you won’t have much trouble speaking your mind and promoting your ideas in the next month and a half. Your brain and everyday interactions will benefit from an extra jolt of energy, and you’ll be motivated to reach out to others and learn more about what interests you. But you could inadvertently assume an impudent tone, so be careful not to browbeat anyone. Mars joins forces with potent Pluto on the 13th, lending extra force to your thoughts and words. Be sure to listen to yourself, as you may sound harsher than you intend. Try channeling this energy into transforming your habitual mindset, improving your neighborhood, speaking powerfully on a topic you’re passionate about or acquiring knowledge. As Venus dances into that house on February 16th, noticing the warmth in your encounters and the beauty in your surroundings will help you maintain a positive attitude. You have a lot to say and can express yourself with style in the next few weeks. Venus becomes entangled with Pluto the next day, which might push you into an obsessive loop. If you can’t stop thinking about someone, try immersing yourself in another process that helps you redirect this intense mental energy. Creative work, journaling or a brief sojourn to a pretty place could do the trick. Newly coupled Archers could be moved to use the L-word for the first time when amorous Venus aligns with bold Mars on February 22nd. Local activism and community beautification are also favored; they can connect you with dynamic people and keep your good mood going. This planetary pairing offers an ideal opportunity for you to be assertive without steamrolling anyone. Stand up for yourself or pitch your creative notions to people.
Once the focalizing Sun dips down to the base of your chart on February 18th, you’ll become more occupied with home and family. Plant yourself in familiar surroundings and savor the feeling of being who you’ve always been. Unwind solo or invite your favorite people into your inner sanctum. After Mercury follows suit on February 23rd, you’ll tune into your innermost thoughts and emotions and might spend some time wandering down memory lane. Talking to a family member or someone else who’s known you for ages can help you to process what’s going on inside you. Try to put your feelings into words — either by confiding in someone or by journaling. On the 24th, a Full Moon in the opposite house — your ambition angle — might bring a goal to fruition or trigger drama with higher-ups. If you’re at a crossroads in your career, releasing old objectives that no longer resonate with you will do you good.
That night, when Venus scuffles with maximizer Jupiter in your work-and-wellness corner, you might flirt with a colleague, do especially creative work or encounter people who can teach you useful skills or support your work in some way. You could also say something — or come up with an idea — that benefits others. A positive attitude is the key to getting things done or improving your health now. But when aggro Mars clashes with Jupiter on the 27th, you could speak in an overly critical or pious tone or skip over details in your plan of action. Take a breath and proceed one step at a time.
You may feel compelled to clean up around the house or attend to other household duties when the Sun, Mercury and taskmaster Saturn coalesce in your domesticity camp on February 28th, reminding you that you need a solid home base. Getting your space in order can help you calm your mind and gather your thoughts. A parent might put you through the wringer, testing your fortitude. Or you might feel held back by family, the past, tradition or emotional baggage. But you can work through such challenges if you give them serious consideration.

CAPRICORN
December 22–January 19
Mental Mercury exits your sign on the 4th and skips into your worth arena, asking you to give more thought to your finances, belongings, material needs and personal values during the next couple of weeks.
Harmony between amiable Venus in Capricorn and progressive Uranus in your joy province on February 7th can inspire you to seek pleasures off the beaten path. You might become disenchanted with conventional romance and creativity, preferring to shake things up to keep life interesting. Unorthodox attractions, quirky fun and unique self-expression will appeal to you, which may result in an exciting fling or an artistic breakthrough. The radiant Sun spars with Uranus on the 8th, daring you to grab for today’s treat and forget about tomorrow’s security (so unlike your sensible sign!) You deserve to enjoy life, but you may not be doing your future self any favors if you roll the dice to get what you think you want — and lose what you need in the process. Find clever ways to use what you already have. Small, relatively safe rebellions can feed your hunger for adventure. You don’t have to be predictable to be prudent, Goat. Speaking of prudence, the New Moon on February 9th encourages you to create a budget, get your possessions and priorities in order and open up a new stream of income.
After bold Mars cruises into your worth arena on the 12th, impulsive spending could become a problem. Keep your itchy trigger-finger away from your payment apps if money is tight. Instead, channel this proactive energy into hustling for new sources of revenue and proactively dealing with your belongings. Mars meets up with forceful Pluto the next night, which could lead you to seek greater control over your finances. But you might make a destructive money move under this influence, so be careful. If you tackle a possession purge or budget overhaul now, you’ll go at it with gusto. Attractive Venus leaves Capricorn on February 16th and segues into the same house where Mars and Pluto are hanging. Watch for financial opportunities and cravings for pretty things over the next few weeks. Borrowing and investing are favored, as long as you resist the temptation to overdo it. A Venus-Pluto rendezvous on the 17th can intensify material desires and might lead you to fixate on a particular one. Possessiveness can be an issue, and you should try to zero in on your true needs and drill down to your deepest values. As Venus aligns with Mars on February 22nd, you could be more self-assured and bold in your efforts to ensure that your needs are met. Thanks to this cosmic coupling, you can easily assess and act on your priorities and behave in accordance with your values. Have you been putting off hunting down items on your shopping list, tackling fiscal matters or cleaning out your closet? This planetary duo will push you to get on it.
After the Sun rockets into your cognition-and-communication zone on the 18th, your brain and everyday life will feel up-tempo. You’ll become more interested in getting out and about, engaging with people and learning new things. You might plan day trips and weekend getaways to keep boredom at bay. Mercury follows suit on February 23rd, which could generate a flurry of information and busyness. You’ll be on the move and quite chatty as this playful planet fills your head with restless energy. And when a Full Moon lights up your exploration court on the 24th, wanderlust could strike, or a crisis of faith could lead you to question what’s true. Think of this lunation as your once-a-year excuse to discard a personal belief that has been limiting your growth.
You may get an urge to splurge when Venus tussles with excessive Jupiter in your pleasure precinct that night, tempting you to go overboard in a quest to fulfill your desires. It’s possible to end up with something worthwhile now, but proceed with caution if you need to tighten those purse strings. Mars has the same disagreement with Jupiter on February 27th, once again calling for you to press pause before you blow your rent money on something that can’t possibly live up to your expectations. On both of these dates, you should also avoid putting your self-esteem on the line for a person you’re attracted to. Value YOURSELF first and foremost.
Solemn thoughts could preoccupy you on the 28th when the Sun, Mercury and your ruler — sobering Saturn — convene in your thinking-and-talking corner. You’re likely to get quiet as you ponder your plans and think about all you have to do. It’s easy to get discouraged, and you won’t have oodles of energy. But making yourself useful in your community or allowing someone special to lean on you can improve your mindset.
