We are officially 1/12 of the way done with 2025—and it seems the collective is still feeling the lingering chaos of 2024. Have no fear; February promises to bring some much-needed relief. February is always a dreamy, love-filled time, with Pisces season on the horizon, Valentine’s (and Galentine’s) Day plans being made, and the winter snow promising to melt. Although 2025 astrologically is filled with many dynamic changes, this next month eases off the gas, allowing us to gather our thoughts and take a moment to return to our heart’s center. If navigated correctly, this call to protect your peace will establish a framework to keep you calm throughout the year.
At the beginning of the month, the two benefics, Venus and Jupiter, make shifts that will light up our creativity and freedom, both on February 4. Venus will ingress Aries, the sign of the warrior that helps us fight for what we love and the relationships that mean the most to us. Venus can be a bit feisty in Aries, because Venus usually loves to give and make sure everyone has their fill. Aries likes to take and ensure they have the biggest slice of cake before it’s cut. So, err on the side of caution as you feel the urge to fearlessly charge headfirst into all the hobbies—and hotties—coming your way. Venus will also station retrograde in Aries at the beginning of March, so pay attention to what kinds of relationship and creative pain points start coming up during February. Those will most likely be the main catalysts of reflection during Venus retrograde this spring.
Jupiter also finishes its four-monthlong retrograde in Gemini. Jupiter loves making everything big and expansive, and by now, we all know that Gemini loves to chat up a storm and keep 1,000 Wikipedia tabs open in case they need to pull out a random fun fact. This and the effects of a retrograde have led to many miscommunications, misunderstandings, and some misguiding. If you have been struggling to get your mind right and have a clear thought that isn’t followed by a string of “what ifs,” you can breathe easy knowing that Jupiter will now add depth to your musings. Expect your ideas to feel more grand. Your willingness to chat through your struggles and dreams will increase—so get out there and yap away, my friend! Now more than ever is the time to start treating yourself like a sponge that needs to soak up all the information that will continue to help you grow.
On February 7, we have a divine connection between two of the most spiritual bodies in the cosmos. Neptune and the North Node meet up in Pisces—truly opening our third eye and directing us toward the most glamorous version of ourselves. Neptune is at home in Pisces, and though this is one of the last significant connections the big blue planet makes before moving into the red-hot sign of Aries in March, we will be able to carry the impacts of this dreamy conjunction with us for years to come. Neptune represents our dreams, intuition, spirituality, and all forms of mysticism—and the North Node is our guiding light, the North Star that reminds us of our path and how we can get there. On the 7th, spend a good portion of the day (30 minutes or so) meditating and setting intentions for yourself, and listen to where your gut is guiding you. It’s a very intuitive transit, so the answers might not feel logical, but it’s the perfect day for magic.
February 12 is when we have this month’s full moon, in the bombastic sign Leo. If you’ve seen the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland, you might remember the hookah-smoking caterpillar who asks, “Who are you?” That is the essence of the full moon in Leo, a sign that’s all about the individual identity and expressing the self fearlessly and confidently. During the Leo full moon, the goal is to shed whatever may be dimming your light. Ask yourself, “Are there relationships where I feel I must make myself smaller?” “In what areas of my life do I wish I was more confident?” These reflections will illuminate what can go, what can stay, and how you can continue to slay.
On Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day, Mercury ingresses Pisces. Yeah… the planet of communication slides into the sign of dreamy illusions on the same day you’ll be trying to define the relationship. This might be a bit of a catch-22 for some—because Pisces holds space for both an open mind and a confused mind. Mercury in Pisces is like a stream of consciousness with no filter, so your head will be in the clouds, and you may be viewing the world through a rose-colored tint. Some of the conversations you have during Mercury in Pisces will be beautiful and expressive, but others might be met with confusion and flowery language, and you won’t see the point. Regardless, this transit encourages you to speak from the heart, whether it is coherent or not.
On the 18th, Pisces season starts! The beginning of Pisces season marks the end of the astrological year. As Pisces season progresses, Aries season approaches, which is the solar cycle completing once again—so view this as a time of completion. During this period, you’ll feel that you are winding down even more, getting sentimental and reflecting on what the past year has looked like for you. Create an altar, give up some offerings, and set an intention for what you want the next astrological year to look like as you give thanks for all the blessings you’ve had over the past 12 months. It will help if you explore this through a creative outlet, embracing the Pisces essence of fluidity and magic.
On February 23, Mars is stationing direct after three long months of being retrograde. This has been the thorn in all of our sides since December (and even further back to October, when we started seeing its effects). With Mars retrograde ending, you’ll feel your energy return—the desire to take action and work on all those resolutions you planned for last month will show itself. Mars is still in Cancer, though, which isn’t the most pleasant place for the planet of action, but this reminds us to fight for what brings us safety. All of us astrologers have been using the end of Mars retrograde as the excuse for a tumultuous start to the new year. Don’t worry; you’ll feel yourself return to normal once the fiery planet gets its act together.
The last major transit of the month is the Pisces new moon on February 27. The Pisces New Moon is like asking a kid what they want to be when they grow up—the potential is limitless, and there are no boundaries to what their imagination comes up with. The new moon in Pisces is magic at its finest, so doing spells, meditating, and being with spirit are all necessary to harness the power of the new chapter waiting for you on the other side. Remember that Pisces is also a healing sign, so with this new moon, consider ways to reimagine your dream and how that dream plays a part in your healing journey.
For the most accurate horoscope, make sure to read your rising sign. February provides you with the necessary rest and recovery we have all been hoping for. This is a very witchy and spiritual time, so stay connected to your heart’s center and listen to what your body and spirit are telling you you need.
