February is a fairly quiet month, featuring a handful of cosmic alliances, a few arguments, plus the usual Full Moon, New Moon, and inner planets changing signs. Jupiter finishes its four-month retrograde on February 4th, and Mars wraps up his eleven-week backspin on the 23rd. Then for six whole days, none of the planets will be retrograde! Usually, this period lasts longer, but in 2025, we’ll take any port in a storm. We’re in a time of major transition when all of the outer planets are changing signs — and hopefully, this month will feel like an oasis.

Once Venus arrives in your thinking-and-talking corner on the 4th, you’ll be less interested in what you have and need and more interested in who and what you know. You’re likely to enjoy spending time out and about in your neighborhood, appreciating bits of beauty all around you. Your encounters with people should generally be pleasant and rather lighthearted. And with optimistic Jupiter powering forward soon after that, you’re bound to feel hopeful overall — perhaps especially when it comes to progress in your love life or on a creative project. You should have a better understanding these days of what fulfills you, and you’re more enthused about making time for it. Driven Mars in your productivity court joins forces with ambitious Saturn on the 9th. This is a repeat of their collab which took place late last September and reinforced your work ethic. Hard work can bolster your finances, while healthy habits can help you to feel good physically AND feel good about yourself. Since Mars is retrograde this time around, you might be circling back to action you took last fall. As the Aquarius Sun clashes with your ruler, erratic Uranus, on February 11th, your mood or home life could change on a dime and affect your behavior. Deal with what’s going on inside you, in your family or in your living situation before you try to get back to doing your thing. This is only a temporary challenge, and you’re capable of rising to the occasion. A Full Moon in your interpersonal angle on the 12th can bring a relationship to the boiling point, making this a good time to go all in or fold. Whether you break up, get engaged or something in between, serious bonds are due to change. Even if your close connections aren’t put to the test, it’s important to honor other people’s needs now and be willing to compromise. With mental Mercury and the vibrant Sun segueing out of your sign on February 14th and 18th, you’ll shift your focus from who you are to what you have and what you need. That makes the next month a great time for getting your finances and possessions in order. On the 23th, Mars powers on after an eleven-week retrograde. You’ll start to feel much more capable of getting things done, and soon you’ll be taking care of business efficiently and will be back on top of daily duties. If you’ve recently realized you need to tweak your routine, begin implementing changes now that reflect how you want to spend your energy, day in and day out. Maybe you’ve figured out a different M.O. that will streamline your efforts and improve productivity. You might take a fresh approach to your health, your job or a particular problem or task. The New Moon on February 27th encourages you to develop a fresh stream of income, create a budget, boost your savings and cultivate your innate talents so they can bolster your security.

Soon after that, Jupiter ends its retrograde at the base of your chart. Your underlying mood is bound to improve, and you’ll start to feel more like people want to support you. If a domestic or family matter been in limbo since last fall, it should start to move toward resolution. On February 9th, bold Mars in your fulfillment arena dovetails with Saturn in Pisces, echoing their summit of September 29th, 2024. You may have bet on yourself and won at that time, but with Mars back-spinning now, it’s possible you don’t feel as sure-handed. If you put a plan in place then that relates to your happiness, you might review it now and consider smart changes to it. In pursuit of personal pleasure and a well-rounded life, you could resurrect a past source of fun, joy or love. A scuffle between the energizing Sun in you subliminal sector and unpredictable Uranus on the 11th can lead to off-the-cuff communication. Err on the side of not saying a lot. If someone irritates you with their bluntness, take deep breaths rather than reacting in the moment. Your thoughts aren’t fully formed, and speaking spontaneously can backfire. The Full Moon of February 12th illuminate your productivity corner and could instigate a crisis involving your health or your job, compelling you to change your modus operandi. This annual lunation pushes you to relinquish a bad habit once and for all. If you’re pushed to the brink, think in terms of dropping something to improve your quality of life. Messenger Mercury and the radiant Sun arrive in Pisces on the 14th and 18th, boosting your expressiveness, brainpower, vitality and drive — not to mention kicking off your birthday season! It’s time to put yourself first and think about what you want out of the coming year. Zero in on who you want to grow into now. And don’t be afraid to make a splash! Eleven long weeks of Mars retrograde are finally coming to an end on February 23rd, allowing you to gradually resume your pursuit of love and happiness on a straighter, smoother path. If you’ve managed to reconnect with a heartfelt desire in the past month and a half, gear up now to go after what you want. For those of you who have recently rediscovered something you used to be passionate about, you’ll start to feel more intent on restoring its rightful place in your life. When a New Moon lands in your sign on February 27th, that’s your cue to reinvent yourself in whatever way you choose. Look at this as your personal fresh start. What do you want? Where do you see yourself this time next year? What would you like to manifest? This is YOUR very own New Year, so set your intentions.

You’re exuding warmth and charm this month and probably looking your most beautiful as well. Soon after that, Jupiter ends its four-month retrograde phase. You’re intent on keeping communication totally above-board and respectful. If travel and learning opportunities temporarily dried up, your luck should soon turn. You might also continue to improve a sibling relationship or resume a community effort. An encounter between proactive Mars in your foundation angle and serious Saturn on the 9th is a repeat from late last September. Again, you’re motivated to unpack emotional baggage so you can move on. You might also revisit a domestic project or family problem or reorganize your space now. When the vibrant Sun and erratic Uranus clash on the 11th, your confidence 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 unique qualities. Be open to the idea of bending a little, but stay true to yourself. A Full Moon on February 12th can bring a love affair to fruition. So, a crush could heat up, or you could break up with someone you’ve been dating. You might also complete a creative project or let your feelings out in a big way. Mental Mercury and the energizing Sun sneak into the last house of your chart on February 14th and 18th. Your solar year is winding down now as you recharge your battery in preparation for your birthday season. You’ll naturally feel less social and more introspective, so carve out private time for soul-searching. It seems natural now to retreat from the world in order to rest and reflect. Take an honest look back at the past year, but reserve judgment. Shine a light on ways in which you’ve worked against yourself, searching for the lesson rather than dwelling on missteps. Once your ruling planet, Mars, gets back in gear on the 23rd, ending an eleven-week retrograde, you’ll begin to find better outlets for feelings you’ve been pushing down inside you. Your buttons have been pushed lately, and now you can come to grips with mood swings and direct your drive toward healthy aims. Home and family matters will start to sort themselves out with less commotion, and you’ll be able to deal with relatives and roommates more easily. We’ve all been off our game since the doer planet went retrograde in December, and everyone’s actions should be more to the point in the days and weeks ahead. On February 27th, the New Moon gives you an incentive to begin a new spiritual practice or let go of something (or someone) in order to find peace.

---

That same day, expansive Jupiter wraps up its four-month retrograde in your fiscal zone. Money will start to flow more freely, maybe both in and out. You may begin to feel more certain of your values, your priorities and your own worth. On the 9th, bold Mars in your communication court and authoritative Saturn in your humanity house repeat their encounter which took place last September 29th. You’ll probably find it more difficult to sell people on your ideas now that the red planet is in reverse gear. But you could rework one of those ideas now or reconnect with a contact. The energizing Sun in your ambition arena quarrels with liberating Uranus in Taurus on the 11th, making it necessary for you to keep your impulses in check. Resist the urge to rebel against a boss or bureaucracy or to veer off track to gain your freedom. And don’t drive yourself crazy trying to rush success. Your individuality can be both an asset and a liability now. Use it to stand out, not to game the system. A Full Moon in your foundation angle on February 12th might spell a shift in your family or home life that draws your attention away from your goals and forces you to attend to private matters. It challenges you to improve your work/life balance and honor what’s going on inside you or in your living space. If you get moody, spend time alone indulging in self-care. With mental Mercury and the Sun sailing into your network sector on the 14th and 18th, your focus will shift from your own ambitions to group endeavors, or you could come up with new objectives after achieving old ones. Plus, your social life will pick up! In the month ahead, you’ll thrive on spending time with friends and feeling connected to the various circles of people in your life. With Mars powering forward in your thinking-and-talking corner on February 23rd after a frustrating eleven-week retrograde phase, your mindset will slowly shift, and you’ll feel more empowered to follow up thoughts with actions. Soon you’ll find you can assert yourself in a more direct manner instead of ending up in arguments because you’re feeling agitated. Your motivation will grow, and you’ll have the ability to think through a course of action. The New Moon on February 27th coaxes you to make a new friend, join an organization, embrace a team-player role, and pivot to a new goal or item on your wish list. This is also the perfect lunation for launching a group endeavor or philanthropic venture.

---

Your outgoing mood makes this a good month for all kinds of group activities, so get out and circulate. With hopeful Jupiter wrapping up its four-month retrograde in Gemini hours later, you’ll start to feel like there’s no stopping you. You might be a bit overstimulated at first, but as the planet of expansion hits its stride, your sense of optimism about creating a bigger and better life for yourself will return. Maintain your focus on self-awareness and personal progress and aim to translate your lofty aims into a viable mission. If you’ve reshuffled your aspirations since last fall, clarify your quest and target top-priority plans. Keep learning about yourself and pushing the boundaries of your potential. Utilize your self-confidence to widen the scope of your identity and your life between now and June 9th while Jupiter takes its final laps in your sign. When proactive Mars in your worth realm clicks with determined Saturn on February 9th, they’re repeating an encounter they had in late September. This time around, see if you can find an alternate way to use the resources at your disposal to advance your career or your bolster your reputation. The vibrant Sun in your exploration corner feuds with disruptive Uranus in your subliminal sector on the 11th, 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 meant to be waking up and shaking things up, so keep moving towards what you don’t know, even if that requires some zigging and zagging. The Full Moon of February 12th could generate a development close to home — possibly involving your sibling or your neighborhood. It can also bring information to light or produce a flurry of interactions. If you feel like you’re being pulled in many directions at once, just deal with a little bit at a time. After your ruler, mental Mercury, and the Sun sail into your ambition arena on February 14th and 18th, you’ll become more focused on accomplishing your main goals and raising your profile during the month ahead. On the 23rd, Mars resumes forward motion after an eleven-week retrograde. Although you may still be susceptible to splurging on a whim, your money moves won’t miss the mark as much as they may have since January 6th, when the red planet backed into your worth realm. You can start to move ahead with a fresh approach to finances and possessions and will feel like you have more control over your security. It will be easier to act on your priorities, and you’re better equipped now to meet your own needs. The New Moon of February 27th prompts you to cultivate your ambition, set new personal and professional goals, craft a business plan or launch a fresh chapter in your career.

With expansive Jupiter powering on after being in standby mode for the past four months, you’ll feel more supported by the universe and willing to trust that it will all work out. If you’ve been exploring spirituality; doing something to serve the needs of people who aren’t as fortunate as you; or seeking healing and closure, you’ll feel a tailwind in that area soon. Bold Mars in your sign meshes with determined Saturn in your exploration realm on the 9th, repeating the summit they held back on September 29th, 2024. But this time around, the red planet is retrograde. Try adjusting your M.O. now so it aligns with your understanding of the big picture. Ask yourself how you might execute an alternate approach in an effort to manifest your vision. Taking action that goes beyond your personal agenda—such as fighting for a cause—would also be a good bet. The vibrant Sun in your intensity province spars with disruptive Uranus in your humanity house on February 11th. A precipitous need for personal space might trigger jealousy or mistrust. You may suddenly want to lighten things up and spend time apart, seeing your friends solo. See if you can shake things up in a good way — without sacrificing the upside of in-depth focus. Maybe try taking brief breaks from intense intimacy or a passion project you’ve been preoccupied with. With a Full Moon rocking your worth precinct on the 12th, a big cash outlay or payoff is possible, and your spending will be driven by your mood. You’re very aware of your own needs under this lunation, and you may have to juggle to find the right balance of give and take. As messenger Mercury and the Sun blast into your exploration realm on the 14th and 18th, the blinders come off. In the month that follows, you’ll be inspired to broaden your horizons instead of focusing intently on one person, project or private matter. Travel and learning are highly favored during this period, so branch out, expanding your mind and perhaps adding stamps to your passport. On February 23rd, Mars wraps up its retrograde in your sign and shifts into first gear at long last! It’s time to re-engage your will so you can start to make much-needed headway. Your frustration will gradually ease as your bottled-up energy finds a proper outlet and your passion reignites. You won’t be as lethargic, and it will no longer feel as if you’re being thwarted at every turn. If you’ve tapped into dormant desires, now you can begin to act on them. The New Moon on February 27th wants you to dial up your faith and take more chances. Launch an entrepreneurial venture, book a trip, sign up for a new course of study or adopt a new mantra that inspires you to believe in — and chase after — a bigger and better future.

After Venus dances into your expansion zone on the 4th, the appeal of difference grows exponentially. You’ll enjoy interacting with a range of inspiring people you can have meaningful exchanges with. Your desire to learn and grow can spur an attraction to someone whose culture, lifestyle or background is unfamiliar to you. And you might be open to long-distance romance or dating someone who’s not your usual type. Soon after that, hopeful Jupiter wraps up its retrograde in your humanity house, which should gradually boost your faith in people and increase the support you’re getting from the various social networks in your life. On February 9th, driven Mars in your retreat arena and ambitious Saturn in your intensity precinct host the same summit that they held in late September — only this time, Mars is in reverse gear. Once again, you’re encouraged to keep working off the radar and focusing fervently on what you’re doing. Putting effort into something that serves a higher purpose is more important than being recognized publicly now. Your ruler, the vibrant Sun, is in your interpersonal court and battling divergent Uranus in your success angle on the 11th, making it rather challenging to see eye to eye on goals. One party might be itching for more autonomy or balking under the thumb of authority, and agreeing to disagree might be your best option at the moment. The Full Moon lands in Leo on February 12th, bringing out all the feels and pushing you to ask for what you need. Put yourself first without infringing on anyone else’s rights, and find a healthy outlet for strong emotions. Full Moons are associated with endings, so this is a good chance to release something — or someone — from your life that no longer serves you. What do you feel truly done with? Maybe it’s time to let go. On the 14th and 18th, mental Mercury and the Sun dive into your depth-and-merging zone. In the weeks ahead, an intimate connection may heat up. Or an all-consuming endeavor or crucial emotional matter could draw your attention. Concentrating intently on issues and people that are important to you will be rewarding. With Mars resuming forward motion on February 23rd, you’ll be less prone to self-sabotage and more able to work effectively. You’ll still need to operate behind the scenes for a while, but you won’t be as tempted to go against your own best interests. If you’ve slipped into an old behavior pattern, try to get a handle on your subconscious motives and confront any personal demons that tempt you to regress. Tap into buried anger and transmute it into productive aggression that allows you to reach worthwhile goals. A New Moon on the 27th signals a private fresh start. A new sex partner, emotional connection or passion project could enter your life soon. You could also access a fresh outside resource like a loan or grant.

---

But you might also connect with a compassionate, creative, spiritual or simply enchanting individual that day. Venus sashays into your depth-and-merging realm on the 4th, increasing your craving for closeness. You’ll want and value loyalty, trust, privacy and empowerment. A sexual relationship could get more intense, and other important bonds can deepen as well. With hopeful Jupiter powering on at the peak of your chart soon after that, you’ll soon feel more optimistic about your career track. A fresh infusion of enthusiasm and ambition might lead you to come on strong around higher-ups though, so be careful if the planet of excess tempts you to overdo it. On February 9th, dynamic Mars in your humanity house and determined Saturn in your relationship angle form the same alliance as they did late last September. You could reconnect with a contact, collaborator or friend from that time period or revisit a group endeavor and try a different approach. When the radiant Sun in your job corner scuffles with disruptive Uranus in your exploration arena on the 11th, your attention span will reach its limit, at which point you’re liable to get distracted and need a break. Overwork can backfire if you’re so stressed and tired that you’re no longer productive. Plus, you’ll be more susceptible to illness in that state. Take time off before you burn out. A Full Moon in your subliminal sector on February 12th could bring secrets to light, or emotions you’ve stuffed down inside you may rise to the surface. Pay attention to your dreams and intuitive inklings, and retreat from the world for a bit so you can rest and reflect. This is a good time to release something that is weighing on your spirit. On the 14th and 18th, mental Mercury and the vibrant Sun arrive in your relationship angle. In the weeks ahead, you’ll get energy from your one-to-one connections, and they should feel fairly easy to navigate. Much of your attention will shift from getting things done to spending quality time with people. So remember to put work aside periodically and reach out to the VIPs in your life. After traveling retrograde for eleven long weeks, Mars is finally pivoting forward in your humanity house on the 23rd, making communal activities and ventures less problematic. Whether you want to team up on a worthwhile endeavor, do things with friends or track down professional contacts, it won’t be as hard as it has been lately. In the next couple of months, you might opt to join a new group or switch up your role in one you already belong to. This can be a fruitful period if you want to work through your differences with a friend or go after a goal you recently revised. It’s possible you’ll cut ties with certain people if you’ve realized you’re not compatible. On February 27th, a New Moon reboots important bonds and might foreshadow a new partnership or a new level of commitment in an existing one.

---

This part of the chart is associated with all things Libra, so you’ll feel very much in your element. Soon after that, optimistic Jupiter gets back in gear after four months of backpedaling through your expansion realm, filling you with renewed belief in your vision. Over the next four months, you have free rein to keep learning, growing and moving forward into the future that you’ve dreamed of. On the 9th, bold Mars in your ambition arena and determined Saturn in your work zone form the same coalition as they did back on September 29th, 2024. With Mars retrograde this time around, you might try a different approach to a goal or resume a project that you’d previously shelved. You can’t expect someone to be on the exact same wavelength as you when the egoistic Sun quibbles with wild card Uranus on the 11th. Don’t put too much emphasis on their response. Just be yourself, and if another person doesn’t seem to get you, that’s okay. You can only play your own role and allow others to play theirs. And your feelings are YOURS to feel. If someone doesn’t share them, it’s because their feelings are uniquely theirs. A Full Moon in your network court on February 12th can inspire you to be there for your friends when they need someone to lean on. You might feel even more sociable than usual, or you could play a significant role in a group. You could also cut ties with a particular circle of people if you no longer share the same interests, objectives or ideals. After mental Mercury and the vibrant Sun segue into your efficiency corner on February 14th and February 18th, your thinking will become more detail-oriented, and your focus will shift from play to work. You’ll have the energy and attention span to get a lot done, but this house is also about health — so make own well being top priority. Doer Mars wraps up its eleven-week retrograde phase and shifts into first gear on February 23rd. Fortunately, that means you can expect your mojo to gradually return. He’s been reversing through your ambition angle since early last month, and success has probably seemed out of reach as a result. But soon you’ll feel up to the task of achieving your aims. As your drive returns, you should consider which goals are truly worthy of your passion. You’re regaining your footing, and progress will no longer be such an uphill battle. So focus on the objectives you’re most motivated to accomplish. On the 27th, a New Moon lights a fire under you to learn a skill, launch a job search, initiate a positive habit, start a new exercise or diet regimen, get organized, strengthen your work ethic, streamline your schedule or adopt a pet.

Venus dances into your efficiency corner on February 4th, helping you to get along well with coworkers, enjoy your everyday interactions and perhaps do some especially imaginative work. It’s a good month to beautify your workspace if you think it could use a makeover. With expansive Jupiter resuming forward motion in your depth-and-merging realm soon after that, you’ll feel more psychologically resilient. If you haven’t received the support you need or the help you rely on from an outside resource during these past four months while the red-spotted planet was in reverse, you’ll start to feel those things flowing your way soon. On the 9th, bold Mars in your exploration sector joins forces with ambitious Saturn in your joy realm, echoing a rendezvous they had late last September. Now an alternate route to broadening your horizons could enable you to grow and will hopefully bring you lasting happiness. Don’t be afraid to try a different path to fulfillment now. The radiant Sun in your sensitivity camp is feuding with erratic Uranus in your relationship angle on the 11th, implying that you can’t predict a person’s response or behavior and shouldn’t try to. If a curveball comes your way, don’t take it personally and swing wildly. And if you absolutely must confront someone, do what you need to do. But be sure you’re not reacting based on projection. In other words, is this really about them? Or do you need to deal with your own emotions first and foremost? The Full Moon on February 12th can bring a goal to fruition, trigger drama with higher-ups or push you into the spotlight and call on you to perform. It may be time to promote yourself or shift direction in your career. Once mental Mercury and the radiant Sun arrive in your joy realm on the 14th and 18th, you’ll be more inclined to come out of your cocoon and have some fun. Let your feelings, creativity, individuality and sense of humor shine through. With Mars moving forward on February 23rd after rolling retrograde for eleven weeks, differences of opinion, travel snafus, learning challenges and legal difficulties will begin to resolve. The big picture will start falling into place, with a slightly altered arrangement of puzzle pieces. You’ll gradually get a better idea of what you should believe in and advocate for. If the range of possibilities for your future has seemed limited, it will open up again in the coming weeks, and you’ll feel increasingly driven to blaze a meaningful trail. Your risk assessment and sense of timing will also improve. The New Moon of February 27th can inspire a fresh start in your love life and your fulfillment as an individual, whether that means dating more, showing off your personality more freely, bringing more romance into your life, embracing a new hobby or launching an artistic venture. Or you might simply commit to having more fun in the weeks to come.

---

After Venus waltzes into your fulfillment province on February 4th, you’ll have more of a desire to get out and have fun. Amour might be in the air this month, or you might set aside more time for hobbies and creative pursuits. This is a time for wearing your heart on your sleeve, prioritizing pleasures that light you up and generally enjoying life to the fullest. Your ruling planet, optimistic Jupiter, finishes up its four-monthlong retrograde phase in your partnership precinct that same day. Your faith in people should start to revive if its waned a bit since the fall. Relationship progress will seem entirely possible now. When bold Mars in your depth-and-merging realm dovetails with serious Saturn in your sensitivity angle on the 9th, it’s an encore of a summit they held on September 29th, 2024. See if you can recapture the combination of emotional self-control and passionate focus that you may have experienced then. The radiant Sun in your cognition-and-communication zone clashes with disruptive Uranus in your productivity sector on February 11th. This battle could 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 exactly according to plan. You’ve been tweaking the everyday systems that help you to function, and they should have enough wiggle room to allow for improvisation. On the 12th, a Full Moon spurs you to be more adventurous and may cause a sudden bout of wanderlust. Something involving travel, education, publishing, religion or the law could reach a climax around now. This is the year’s best lunation for dropping a personal belief that has limited your growth. So, do your best to identify one, and then banish it for good. After messenger Mercury and the Sun slip into your foundation angle on the 14th and 18th, your home life and emotional equilibrium take on added importance, and you’ll probably crave more time at Chez Sag. As Mars does a course correction on February 23rd to wrap up his eleven-week retrograde, any trouble that’s brewing in a close relationship should simmer down, and your connection won’t feel so charged with tension. If anger, pain or mistrust have bubbled up (in the last seven weeks especially), you’ll have an easier time getting to the bottom of difficult emotions and working through them in a straightforward manner. It’s time to channel fiery feelings appropriately so you can get a relationship or passion project back on track or resolve a private emotional issue. You’ll also be able to deal with shared resources more efficiently, and problems involving give and take will start to get ironed out. The New Moon of February 27th encourages you to do what you can to feel more comfortable. Prioritize a peaceful, nurturing home life and regular self-care. A change in your family or living situation might be in the pipeline.

---

You’ll enjoy spending time at home — alone or with your family or roommates. Soon after that, expansive Jupiter edges ahead in your productivity corner after a four-month retrograde, and you could become busier at work. But you’ll start to feel more efficient and capable of tackling what’s on your plate. If you’ve been narrowing down your priorities because you bit off more than you could chew and got stressed out, now you can move forward with a streamlined agenda. When doer Mars in your relationship realm gels with your ruler, ambitious Saturn, on February 9th, it’s a repeat of their collaboration on September 29th, 2024. You might re-team with someone and revisit your previous efforts. If words fail you, you might resolve a problem by letting your actions speak for themselves. But since Mars is retrograde, there’s no guarantee you’ll convey the intended message. On the 11th, the egoistic Sun in your worth arena spars with Uranus in your pleasure province, daring you to grab for today’s treat and forget about tomorrow’s security. You deserve to enjoy life, but you may not be doing your future self any favors if you gamble to get what you think you want and lose what you need in the process. Find clever ways to use what you already have. Rebel in small ways that feed your hunger for instant gratification. You don’t have to be predictable to be prudent. A Full Moon in your depth-and-sharing sector on the 12th pushes you to settle a debt, turn a corner in a transformation process, support someone close to you or navigate a turning point in an important relationship. A sexual bond could heat up or fizzle out. After Mercury and the Sun arrive in your thinking-and-talking corner on the 14th and 18th, your thoughts and conversations will get a jolt of energy, and everyday life will become extra busy and stimulating. With Mars shifting into first gear on February 23rd after an eleven-week retrograde, you won’t feel as frustrated with others, fortunately. If you’ve been projecting resentment onto people, now’s the time to make a concerted effort to put things right. Maybe you dredged up an old fight in the last couple of months. Hopefully, you’ll start to see that it isn’t impossible to resolve it. If progress in a relationship has stalled since early December, you can move ahead soon — together or apart. The retrograde phase may have revealed whether a partnership was going to work or not, and now you can proceed accordingly. The New Moon on February 27th nudges you to find new ways to get your message across. Make a point of meeting new people and gathering info in the next two weeks. And keep coming up with fresh ideas, some of which could ripen into workable plans.
