February opens after the Lunar New Year, ushering in the Year of the Wood Snake, a creature of quiet wisdom, strategic movement, and profound transformation. Unlike the impulsive energy of the Dragon, the Snake moves with patience, sensing the undercurrents before making its move. This year asks us to shed our old skins, release what no longer serves, and trust that reinvention is not only possible but necessary.

February is not a month of quick victories or easy answers. It is a month of deep internal shifts, of learning to navigate the unknown with both intuition and strategy.

Venus steps boldly into Aries, but it does so with the quiet awareness that this journey is not straightforward. This is the beginning of a story that will unfold in chapters—desire, pursuit, pause, and reflection. What we want now may not be what we want later. Passions flare, but beneath them, a question lingers: is this what truly sets my soul on fire, or is it just the thrill of the chase?

Jupiter, the great expander, rouses from its slumber in Gemini, and suddenly, the air is thick with ideas, possibilities, and half-formed dreams that now seem ready to take flight. What felt tangled in indecision or lost in translation begins to find its rhythm again. Conversations spark. Connections realign. There is movement—subtle yet unmistakable. A sense that the road ahead is opening, even if we don’t yet know where it leads.

The Full Moon culminates in Leo. But this is no simple illumination—it is a tangled, layered revelation that pulls at the heartstrings and exposes hidden fractures.

Something reaches its breaking point. Perhaps it is the weight of unspoken truths or the realization that some things cannot be forced into being. Emotions run high, and the mirror of self-reflection does not flinch. What is real? What is performance?

The Sun moves through the electric halls of Aquarius, where Pluto waits like a silent architect of the future. This is not just innovation—it is deep restructuring, the crumbling of old paradigms to make way for something truer, rawer. We may feel the tectonic shifts beneath our feet and sense the changing tides in our relationships, communities, and sense of self. Power is being redistributed. What was hidden is rising. The old world is fighting to hold its ground, but something new is demanding to be born. This is not the end of something. It is the forging of a new beginning.

Mercury drifts into Pisces, trading sharp logic for the language of dreams. Here, thoughts don’t march in straight lines; they swirl like ink in water, dissolving and reforming. Words soften, meaning shifts, intuition reigns. But Mercury’s bond with Jupiter in Gemini offers an unusual gift—a bridge between the seen and unseen, a rare moment where logic and intuition hold hands. What was previously clouded begins to make sense, not through facts, but through feeling.

And then, the great release.

The New Moon in Pisces washes over us, dissolving the edges of what we thought we knew. It is a moment of surrender, of quiet creation. It is the in-between space, the deep exhale before the next beginning. Here, we plant seeds not with certainty but with faith—the kind of faith that allows for change and understands that not everything must be understood to be meaningful.

The slow burn of Mars retrograde in Cancer has tested our patience and made us reckon with emotions we’d rather not confront. But as it turns direct, there is a sense of movement again. The grip loosens, and what felt stagnant begins to shift. Energy returns in a different form—less reactive and more intentional. We are ready now in a way we weren’t before.

February is a threshold, a liminal space where past and future blur. Things are changing—not all at once, not in ways we can fully grasp yet, but undeniably, deeply.

The world feels heavy with uncertainty, yet within this uncertainty, there is potential. The Wood Snake reminds us that transformation is inevitable, but survival belongs to those who can move with the tides, not against them. This is not a time for blind optimism but for careful, deliberate hope—the kind of hope that understands collapse is also an opening.

We are learning to accept both certainty and uncertainty, to trust the pause as much as the movement. As the month ends, we step forward—not with all the answers but with open hands, ready to receive what comes next.

(Read for your Rising and Sun signs) 

Aries

Aries, begin again. Venus enters your sign, setting something ablaze within you—a hunger, a longing, a need to chase what makes your pulse quicken. But slow down, just a little. The journey ahead will require endurance, and this is only the beginning.

With Mars still moving backward in your fourth house, you are navigating the ghosts of the past, the roots of old patterns, and the tensions within your foundations. You may feel like you’re trying to run forward while dragging your past behind you—but trust that this slow burn is refining you.

The embers will catch fire soon. Jupiter’s forward motion in Gemini clears mental fog, making it easier to articulate desires you once kept locked away. Ideas begin to bloom again, and so does your curiosity. Trust that what is meant for you will not pass you by and that attraction is built in moments of both motion and stillness.

The Full Moon in Leo illuminates your creative expression and personal projects, urging you to step into your full power and share your unique gifts with the world. This is a moment of emotional release, where you can break free from limiting self-doubts and allow your creativity to flow. The New Moon in Pisces is a quiet invitation—an opening, a surrender, a deep inhale before a new beginning. Something is dissolving in order to make space for something else. Can you trust the unseen? Can you plant a seed without knowing exactly how it will grow?

Taurus

Taurus, remember your dreams. As February unfolds, your inner world beckons for attention. Venus, your ruler, disappears into the quiet corners of your twelfth house, inviting you to reconnect with parts of yourself that have been tucked away. This is a time of deep reflection, sensing the undercurrents beneath your relationships, desires, and heart.

What calls to you from the past? What unfinished stories still shape your present? Mars retrograde has stirred emotions you’d instead contain, but as the month unfolds, clarity emerges. Jupiter’s direct turn in Gemini helps you realign with what you truly value, while Mercury in Pisces invites you to lean on friendship and vision. Your abundance is growing, even if you can’t see it yet.

The Full Moon in Leo shines a light on your home and family life, encouraging you to release any emotional baggage weighing you down. Whether it’s time to let go of a past issue or nurture a new emotional foundation, this Full Moon helps you create a balance between inner peace and outer stability. Something tender and inspiring is taking root. You don’t have to have all the answers—just a willingness to trust the process. Let February be a month of soft release, gentle untangling, trusting that what is leaving is making space for something new.

Gemini

Gemini, there is movement again — plans forming, ideas sparking, possibilities rushing back in. Jupiter stirs awake in your sign, shaking off the dust of hesitation, clearing your throat so you can speak the words you’ve been holding inside. You remember who you are. Yet Venus, slipping into your eleventh house of friendship, asks you to consider your desires in the grander scheme of things. Who do you want by your side? What alliances are worth deepening?

For you, the Full Moon in Leo illuminates your communication and learning, encouraging a release of mental clutter or any unspoken truths that need to be aired. This is a powerful moment to express your thoughts more freely and release limiting beliefs that have kept you from speaking your truth. Mercury in Pisces blurs the lines between vision and reality, asking you to trust your intuition in career matters. A mutual reception between Mercury and Jupiter creates a strange and beautiful alchemy—you might feel lost in the details yet oddly certain about the bigger picture.

Career visions blur between what is real and what is imagined, but don’t rush to define things just yet. Inspiration moves like water now; let it flow. The New Moon in Pisces is a portal to something new in your public life—your reputation, your ambitions, the version of you the world sees. This is a quiet yet powerful beginning. A dream forms or an old one reshapes itself. You don’t need to force anything; just plant the seed and trust the unfolding. And as Mars finally moves direct at the month’s end, you’ll feel a long-standing financial or self-worth struggle begin to loosen. The future is opening. Are you ready to step into it?

Cancer

Cancer, you are gathering strength in stillness. But this isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. Mars lingers in your sign, still retrograde, still making you pause when all you want is to move forward. This month is about patience and feeling your way through the emotional weight you carry. But there is movement. Jupiter’s direct turn in Gemini stirs your subconscious, bringing long-hidden insights to the surface.

Venus enters your tenth house, shining a light on your ambitions, public life, and how you want to be seen. But this is only the beginning—you are setting the stage for a longer journey of reevaluating your goals. The Full Moon in Leo brings a revelation of financial or self-worth, while Mercury in Pisces reminds you that even uncertainty can be beautiful.

What do you believe you deserve? And where have you been dimming your own light out of fear of wanting too much? On the new moon in Pisces, a new belief takes root, and a new path begins to whisper your name. This isn’t about immediate action—it’s about intention, about saying yes to possibilities you can’t yet see.

By month’s end, Mars finally moves direct in your sign, and the fog begins to clear. The hesitation, the emotional exhaustion, the sense of moving through molasses—it lifts. You remember what it feels like to trust yourself. To move with confidence. To step forward, knowing that everything you need is already within you.

Leo 

Leo, “showing off is the fool’s idea of glory”. The Full Moon in your sign is no gentle whisper—it is a roaring truth, a revelation, an unfiltered reflection of where you stand. It brings clarity but not necessarily comfort. It demands that you be seen, but what kind of reflection are you casting? Are you standing in your truth, or are you wearing a mask for the world?

Let yourself be witnessed—flaws, brilliance, all of it. Venus moves into Aries, igniting your ninth house of expansion, urging you to chase what excites you, to seek something beyond the known. But slow down—the pre-retrograde shadow hints that this journey is not as straightforward as it seems. Jupiter’s direct motion in Gemini restores faith in community and the power of connection, while Mercury in Pisces dissolves old fears around intimacy. The New Moon in Pisces is an intimate, quiet invitation to release what you’ve outgrown—especially in love, intimacy, and shared resources. Where do you need to surrender control? Let the waters of this lunation wash away what no longer serves you. And by the time Mars moves direct at the end of the month, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and ready to step fully into what’s next.

Virgo

Virgo, February asks for surrender. Not in the sense of giving up but in the act of releasing resistance. Mars is still retrograde in Cancer, making progress feel slow, like walking through deep water. You may feel distant from your goals, unsure of where your energy belongs—but trust that this pause is a necessary recalibration. Venus enters Aries, drawing attention to intimacy, trust, and the deeper emotional currents at play in your relationships.

What fears still hold you back from true closeness? What cycles are you ready to break? Jupiter moves forward in your tenth house, bringing clarity to career paths that felt stalled. The Full Moon in Leo illuminates your 12th house of inner reflection, spirituality, and hidden truths, urging you to release what has been lingering in your subconscious. This is a time to surrender old fears or emotional baggage and embrace healing, allowing the light of this Full Moon to guide you toward deeper clarity and inner peace.

Mercury, your ruler, glides into Pisces, softening rigid thought patterns and inviting you to see beyond logic. The New Moon in Pisces invites you to dream a new kind of partnership into being—whether with others or with yourself. Let go, just a little, and see what comes rushing in. And as Mars moves direct at the month’s end, what felt stagnant begins to flow again. The answers you’ve been waiting for arrive right on time.

Libra

Libra, where can you create more ease? Venus, your ruler, moves into Aries, activating your seventh house of relationships with heat, urgency, and a desire to define what you truly want. But this is not the final word—it is only the beginning of a longer conversation. You may feel the push-pull of wanting connection but also needing space, longing for passion but fearing its intensity.

The Full Moon in Leo lights up your friendships and communities. Some relationships may feel strained, and some truths may be revealed. Not everyone is meant to walk forward with you. This lunation asks you to be honest about who lifts and drains you. Choose wisely. Mars is still retrograde in Cancer, which complicates career matters, making it feel like your ambitions are moving in slow motion. But Jupiter’s direct motion in Gemini opens new pathways and new perspectives.

If you’ve been second-guessing your dreams, this is the moment when they start to feel possible again. The New Moon in Pisces falls in your 6th house of daily routines, health, and service, offering a chance to reset your approach to work, self-care, and how you contribute to others. This is a time to plant seeds for more meaningful, nourishing habits and routines, allowing your efforts to align with your deepest values and well-being. If February teaches you anything, let it be this: Love is not a race. Let desire build. Let answers come in their own time.

Scorpio

Scorpio, the sky is shifting, and so are you. Venus enters Aries, stirring your daily routines, asking you to bring more pleasure and presence into your work, body, and everyday life. But there is something deeper here—a call to examine what habits serve you and which ones drain you. Mars, your co-ruler, still retrograde in Cancer, stirs old emotional patterns, making it hard to fully move forward.

Let yourself sit with the uncertainty—it’s shaping you in ways you can’t yet see. The Full Moon in Leo sheds light on your home and family life, helping you see where emotional needs might be unmet or where you need to create space for deeper emotional connection. Mercury’s transition into Pisces guides you to soften your communication in relationships and approach your commitments with more empathy and understanding.

Meanwhile, Jupiter turning direct in Gemini supports growth and learning, especially when it comes to your partnerships and how you collaborate with others. February calls for a delicate balance of devotion to both your own needs and the needs of those around you. As you refine your routines, make space for both work and pleasure and invest in your health—remember that small shifts in your everyday life have the power to bring profound change.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius, February brings a call to broaden your world, but not just through physical travel or new experiences. Venus steps into Aries, into your fifth house of passion, creativity, and love, and suddenly, things feel alive again. But be mindful—this story is only beginning, and the pre-retrograde shadow warns of twists ahead. Jupiter, now direct in your seventh house, brings movement in relationships, clarifying what is meant to grow and what was only meant to teach you something.

As the Full Moon in Leo illuminates your communication sector, you’re called to express yourself clearly and truthfully, especially in close relationships. Be open to unexpected insights and moments of clarity. Mars retrograde in Cancer has kept you wading through old emotional waters, but as it turns direct, a weight begins to lift. The New Moon in Pisces asks you to redefine home—not just in the physical sense, but in the emotional one. What does security mean to you now? February is about expanding your inner and outer landscapes. Embrace the lessons, and trust that the universe is guiding you to grow in ways you never imagined.

Capricorn

Capricorn, Venus enters Aries, pulling focus to home, family, and the roots that hold you. This is the beginning of a longer story about belonging, about where you feel safe. Jupiter is moving forward in Gemini, which clears workplace confusion and brings momentum to delayed projects. The Full Moon in Leo brings illumination to your finances and self-worth, guiding you to understand your material and emotional value with greater clarity. It’s a moment to reflect on what you need to feel secure and release what is no longer.

Mercury in Pisces softens communication, making conversations flow with greater ease. And Mars, still retrograde in Cancer, continues its slow, painful excavation of relationship wounds—but by month’s end, healing begins. February asks you to strengthen the emotional foundation that supports all other aspects of your life. The more deeply rooted you become, the more freely you can grow. The New Moon in Pisces invites a fresh way of thinking.

A new perspective, a shift in mindset. It’s a moment to release old mental patterns and open to new ways of speaking, learning, and connecting with your immediate world—trusting that your mind can flow more freely when you let go of the need for control. And by month’s end, as Mars moves direct, relationships begin to make sense again. Answers come. Trust the process.

Aquarius

Aquarius, February asks you to reexamine the power of your voice—what you say, how you say it, and who you’re saying it to. With Venus moving into Aries, your third house of communication and connection, you may feel a surge of creative energy, a desire to speak your truth boldly without holding back. But, with Venus also beginning its pre-retrograde shadow, it’s important to pace yourself. Some conversations may require a little more time to fully unfold.

The Full Moon in Leo turns your attention to relationships. This lunation is tangled with complexities, highlighting where your needs and someone else’s might not align. Some connections may deepen, while others feel stretched thin. Let what must evolve, evolve. Mid-month, Mercury moves into Pisces, activating your financial sector. With its rare mutual reception to Jupiter, you might gain insight into how to make your resources work for you. Listen closely—unexpected opportunities could emerge. Pluto’s slow movement through your sign is rewriting the story of who you are. It’s a quiet but powerful force, shifting your identity from the inside out.

The old you is dissolving. The new you is still forming. This is deep work—unseen but undeniable. The New Moon in Pisces offers a financial and energetic reset. Where have you been giving too much? Where can you allow more abundance? As Mars moves direct at the month’s end, the fog lifts, and you’ll know exactly where to direct your energy next. Your voice is your power this month. Use it carefully but with confidence. What you speak into existence now will shape the future you are stepping into.

Pisces

Pisces, February is your month to step into your fullest potential. With Venus entering Aries, your second house of self-worth and values, you’re being asked to reconnect with what you truly desire materially and emotionally. What do you truly value? What is worth your investment—your time, energy, and resources? Venus in Aries sparks your desire for independence and self-expression, but as it begins its pre-retrograde shadow, it’s best to consider long-term implications before making any major shifts in your values.

Mars is still retrograde in Cancer, slowing your heart’s desires and making it feel like passion is just out of reach. Creativity, love, and joy may feel muted, but this isn’t a loss—it’s a pause. Let yourself sit in this space without rushing to fix it. The Full Moon in Leo highlights your daily life. Something about your habits, routines, or even your physical well-being needs attention. It’s a call to realignment. Listen to what your body is telling you. Mid-month, Mercury enters your sign, bringing a rare poetic magic to how you think and express yourself. With its link to Jupiter, your words carry more weight than usual. What do you need to say? Who do you need to hear?

Pluto in Aquarius, lingering in your hidden twelfth house, is working on you in ways you can’t fully see yet. Something deep within is shifting—old fears dissolving, unconscious patterns breaking apart. You may feel called to retreat more, to listen to the silence. There is power in what is unspoken. The New Moon in Pisces marks a personal rebirth. A shedding of old skin. A moment of renewal. If you’ve been unsure about where you’re going, let this lunation be your compass. And as Mars moves direct at the month’s end, your heart starts to beat in rhythm with your desires again. The future is calling. Are you ready to answer?
