ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
Invest your energy wisely this month. Wherever you focus your attention, you will see manifestations beginning to appear in your life. You have that much power, but you want to be conscious about what you’re prioritizing. If you hear repetitive, unproductive thoughts playing like a broken record, shift your focus.
If January was tough for you, you get a reprieve this month as Venus enters your sign on February 7. Venus is the planet of pleasure, and when she’s in your sign, you can expect more enjoyment in life.
The influence of Venus also boosts your confidence, which will make you highly attractive to those whom you seek to impress. If you have considered making a job change, you could be motivated to start the process after February 16 when your ruling planet is exalted in Capricorn. Keep in mind, though, Mercury stations retrograde this day, which could delay communication with potential clients, colleagues, or others in your professional sphere. Patience will be your keyword throughout the remainder of the month, though it could come as a challenge.
In general, realize you’re in a period of refinement. A new sense of identity is being formed, which takes some soul-searching introspection. It’s okay to pull inward, but be aware when it becomes a diminished return. Isolation can lead to depression for extroverted cardinal signs. On February 9, come out and socialize. If you are single, you are balancing your desire for freedom with that of connection. You’re healing some old relationship fears and readying yourself for more genuine relationships.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)
This month, you could feel like the lead character in a film with plot twists and turns. Expect the unexpected is an understatement. All of this excitement reminds you to flow with life’s current. If you have been unable to grasp a clear sense of where to focus, let your intuition guide you. The Pisces new moon on February 23 helps you tune in and clarify your vision for your year and future.
Mercury, the planet of communication, stations retrograde on February 16, and you could encounter a few mishaps. Realize others may have upsets they’re not able to share and try not to take things too personally. Triggers can run high during Mercury retrograde. Make lots of time for self-care.
The Leo full moon on February 9 could mean tension between personal or familial obligations and professional aspirations. In this phase of life, you want the freedom to explore new possibilities, and you likely want a clear path. Consider travel. Even a short journey could, at the least, help you gain a new perspective. At the most, it could open a new horizon, personally and professionally.
Your relationships of all kinds are being reconceived and reconstructed, as you discover who’s truly in your tribe. All of this will lead to heart expansion, even if it means letting go along the way. Open yourself to love, as this is the month to do so! If you’re single and seeking a relationship, have hope. If you’re partnered, navigate those plot twists by keeping a sense of humor.
GEMINI (MAY 20 - JUNE 20)
Before you read any further, take a moment to congratulate yourself for your innumerable accomplishments in life. I’m talking professional and academic ones, of course, but more than that, I’m referring to the intangible personal milestones. Did you process grief after a loss? Did you face and overcome fear? Did you stay in a relationship despite wanting to leave? See, you’re amazing! Mercury slows down and gives you a chance to turn inward on February 16, and you will have an opportunity to appreciate who you are and who you have been. You are the source of self-love.
The Sun in Aquarius amplifies your creativity and awakens curiosity. Connect and collaborate to expand the potential of this influence, especially with the full moon on February 9.

Up through Valentine’s Day, you could feel more social and slightly more sentimental. Maybe it’s the season, or perhaps something deeper is shifting to allow you to experience more grace and love in your relationships. Go with it! Allow love to surprise you.
After February 18, when the Sun enters Pisces, your focus will shift to business. Aim high if you are pursuing a new career path. Don’t let the winds of fate move you; be deliberate in thought and action. If you encounter delays or if business dealings don’t go according to plan, explore new pathways. Remember: During Mercury retrograde, everything eventually comes full circle.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
January’s transits tried and tested you, but you learned lessons in faith and gained a sense of personal power. Now, you’re like a butterfly about to break out of the cocoon. This is a time of metamorphosis when you face significant turning points. Therefore, be careful with how you focus your attention. Stay in the space of self-forgiveness and acceptance. The Pisces new moon on February 23 helps nudge you into a new chapter!
Mercury stations retrograde on February 16, and you could experience communication mishaps with your partner or travel delays.

Try not to be on the defensive; stay open to hearing alternative views.
The full moon on February 9 invites you out of the shadows to be seen and heard. Motivate yourself to try new ways of marketing your business. The same applies to your personal life. If you’ve been more introverted this season, accept invitations to social gatherings or local events.

LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)
With Valentine’s Day approaching, the beginning of February is all about the heart. Your sign rules the heart, which is appropriate because anyone who knows you knows you have a big heart. You are fiercely loyal to people whom you love. In romantic relationships, you have a gift for finding ways to reignite the spark.

It also helps you express words that have been weighing on your heart for some time. For some, those words could be, I love you.
Mercury goes retrograde on February 16, a day that could be confusing, especially if you receive mixed messages from someone. Be patient with others because we are all in the same position of uncertainty for a few weeks.

Mars moves into Capricorn that same day. This is an excellent time to begin working with a trainer or start a new exercise routine, especially if you have been sick or too busy to work out.
Professionally, you could be ready for changes. If you have felt ready for a new adventure, you could see favorable new developments toward the end of the month, especially February 28. Realize right now you are laying a foundation for your future. This can feel tedious, but hang in there! You are aimed for greatness.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)
You have entered a prolific period of life, and you have more access to your creative capabilities. Because of this, you’re keenly aware of life’s possibilities, but like a miner panning for gold, you need to separate the fool’s gold from the real stuff. One of my favorite Virgos says, “Say no to the no’s, and the yeses will come.” Make this your mantra.
Venus shines in your relationship sector until February 7. While self-inquiry is essential, your mind may be getting in the way of your heart. Just feel it out.

Self-love is the key to greater happiness in this area of life, especially if self-sacrifice has been a recurring theme for you. Now is the time to rethink unhealthy dynamics and discover new ways to connect with your romantic partner. If you are single, you could apply the same message to close friendships or business partnerships.

Speaking of which, this is an extraordinary time for you professionally. Use your energy wisely. You could receive significant recognition for your work and even awards for your efforts. Keep this in mind for those moments when you wonder if all you are creating and building and working toward is worth it in the end. Absolutely, it is!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 22- OCTOBER 22)
If you were a mountain climber, you wouldn’t get two-thirds up to the top and then say, “I’m tired. Time to turn around.” No! You would climb to the top. The same applies to your life now. For some time, Saturn has been pressuring you and testing your faith. Go to the distance! Don’t give up!

Make peace with your past by loving the person you were. See how you’ve grown and evolved? Take a moment and appreciate who you have become.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)
In 2020, you seek to live life to the fullest. Even if doubts creep into your conscious awareness, you know how to move through them to restore faith. Though you started the year with good momentum, this month allows you the chance to slow down, reassess, and restrategize, if necessary.

If you don’t have children, apply this message to your personal projects or pets.
Love may be on your mind with Valentine’s Day on the 14th. You may claim to not have time for romance with so much happening in your life. You have to make the time, and you won’t regret it. If you’re single, that means going out with friends. See what possibilities arise.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)
Mercury slows down and goes retrograde on February 16, inspiring your mind to work in a new way. If you feel mentally foggy or unfocused, recognize the gift in the haze.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)
As a Capricorn, discipline is one of your superpowers. The sense of satisfaction you feel upon accomplishing a goal is higher than almost any immediate gratification. Last year allowed you to see what you are truly capable of achieving with your determination and focus. This year, you will reap the rewards from those efforts. Before you do, though, take this month to step back, recess, and reprioritize if necessary.
Mercury stations retrograde on February 16, the same day Mars moves into your sign. You will feel as if you have one foot on the gas pedal and one on the brake.

Examine your relationships and determine how you might improve communication. And finally, declutter your home! Perform a mental and physical detox to help open the road forward.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)
The ancient Greeks had seven different words for love. While most people are thinking about eros, the passionate kind of love, leading up to Valentine’s Day, your heart is open to experiencing all different types of love, especially philia, the sort of love shared between friends. If you are in a relationship, this month offers you a chance to deepen the friendship between you and your significant other. You might consider trying new ways to develop shared interests. The more you connect outside of intimate spaces, the more you deepen the root structure of your relationship. If you are single, apply this to close friendships. Who knows? You could end up collaborating with someone on a business project or meet a romantic partner through mutual connections. Your luck comes through relationships of all kinds this month.
