Read for both your sun and rising sign below to help you prepare for February:
Aries —Two of Wands
<imageviewer>1</imageviewer>
You are given a chance to choose who you want to be this month. You’re approaching a fork in the road, and you’ll need to be decisive in the path you take. The spirit encourages you to listen to your heart, not your head, to make this choice. It may not make much sense to others, but this decision will be one where you show up for yourself and honor your truth. You are being spiritually protected, even if this seems like a wild or irrational choice! Take your time making your choice—you are in no rush. This will most likely happen around February 13, when your ruling planet, Mars, enters Aquarius and lights up your zone of hopes and dreams. Remember, who you were in the past does not indicate who you will be in the future!
Taurus — Five of Pentacles

You might feel like this month is only bringing difficulties your way. Others may seem colder toward you or less receptive to your antics. Instead of trying to point the finger at everyone else, look inward to analyze why this feeling is growing. Is there anything inside of you that needs further healing? Sitting with yourself and embracing your shortcomings is the only way that you will eventually move forward. Fully accepting yourself in the present moment will allow you to decide whether or not you enjoy living life this way. If the answer isn’t a resounding “yes!” then use the month of February to do some inner exploration. Spend time under the Virgo full moon on February 24 to release any old habits, outdated relationships, and beliefs that keep you stuck.
Gemini — The Hanged Man

In February, you will have a chance to see life with a brand new perspective. This shift will come around February 5, when Mercury, your ruling planet, enters fellow air sign Aquarius, inspiring you to think outside the box. You have been going hard and losing sight of the present moment lately, and this month is encouraging you to slow down and enjoy that suspension. You will start to see yourself (and others) with clearer sight. You may have been accepting other people’s unkind behavior because of their role in your life. However, this month asks you to raise the bar around who gets access to you and expect better treatment from the people closest to you.
Cancer— King of Pentacles

You will receive a huge blessing from the universe this month, so be prepared to embrace it with open arms! Don’t shy away from expecting good things to happen to you. However, you will notice around the Aquarius new moon on February 9 that not all blessings come in pretty packaging. Sometimes, an unhealthy relationship ending or an ill-fit job ending can be the biggest blessing in disguise. Stay open and try to use your discernment. You don’t need to get swept up in fear, especially fear that doesn’t belong to you.
Leo —Ace of Wands

You will have a brand new world unfolding for you this month! You are entering unchartered territories, but the stars are urging you to trust the process and surrender as fully as you can. Not every step of your path will feel good and easy, but it’s important to check in with yourself frequently and ask whether you are taking this journey for the right reasons. If you can say “yes” even in the darkest moments, you are on the right path. When loving Venus enters Aquarius on February 16 and lights up your area of partnerships, don’t forget to lean on others and ask for help when needed. But ultimately, the only person whose opinion of your newfound path that matters is yours.
Virgo— The Wheel of Fortune
<imageviewer>6</imageviewer>
This month may be challenging for you, my dutiful Virgo, but an important shift within will bring you the most joy in February. With your ruling planet, Mercury, entering into quirky and eccentric Aquarius on February 5, you will feel like you can finally speak your mind and stand up for your beliefs in a whole new way. You are entering February feeling fearless. Deep down, you know that self-prioritization is the only pathway to fulfillment, and there is no better time to start putting yourself first than now. You deserve to feel like your own first priority, Virgo. And although it might feel counterintuitive, you will find that others will be more receptive, loving, and respectful of you once you step into this new way of life.
Libra — Three of Wands

This month, you will bring your dreams to life! Some of these dreams may be buried or long-forgotten, but you are now ready to see them through. You are releasing expectations around yourself, others, and the “timeline” in which you feel you need to complete certain milestones. Without this rigidity and self-inflicted cruelty, you will realize that life holds many possibilities. When these dreams start to materialize, it’s important to shed gratitude. Instead of worrying about what lies ahead, why not focus on giving back to those in need and releasing yourself from this downward spiral? The more you pour into community, the more they will find a way to give back to you.
Scorpio — The Devil
<imageviewer>8</imageviewer>
Have you been stuck in a rut? There are aspects of your perception that you must acknowledge so you can release this pattern. Instead of feeling fearful, angry, or doubtful about change, this month asks you to open up to the beauty of shifting your path forward. However, you must let go of the heavy weight of past memories, unhealthy behaviors, and negative thought patterns to fully appreciate the new opportunities that life is handing you. When The Devil appears, it reminds you not to overindulge in the parts of life that keep you from true and sustained happiness. This will be especially evident during the February 9 Aquarius new moon, when you want to rush and fill the void space. Instead, just take time to sit with the emptiness and refrain from making choices that are out of alignment with your end goals this month.
Sagittarius — Eight of Pentacles

This month, you will feel called to pick up a new hobby and start scheduling your time in a new way. Instead of thinking about things you’ve been avoiding, why not take a deep breath and consider what the current-day version of you wants instead? There is no rush to sign up for language-learning classes or pick up a guitar just because you’ve said you would do those things for years. Instead, get to know the version of “you” that’s here right now. What do you want to do with your time here on Earth? The answer will become clearer when the Virgo full moon arrives on February 24, shedding a little bit of light on your confusion!
Capricorn — Two of Swords

This month, you might feel confused about how to get out of a sticky situation. Even if things feel more “passive” than “aggressive,” it’s uncomfortable for you nonetheless. Taking a time out is important when there seem to be no solutions. Continuing to go at full speed will only burn you out more quickly. When the sun enters Pisces on February 18, easing communication, things will start to ease up and become clearer. However, most of February is meant to remind you that nothing in your life can’t wait until tomorrow—or the next week, for that matter! Leave your ego at the door and remind yourself that others are capable and can figure things out when you take time for yourself.
Aquarius — The Star

February is here to remind you that you are a perfect example of the type of person your younger self needed all those years ago. You have blossomed into a safe, rational, and fun-loving person who makes others feel delighted to be around you. It’s easy to forget how much light you bring to the world when you are the one shining! However, when the Aquarius new moon arrives on February 9 and lights up your zone of self and appearance, you will feel called to celebrate each day like it’s your birthday! Give yourself some time for pampering and rest. Even the sun has to set from time to time, Aquarius.
Pisces — Ace of Cups

You will have a chance to welcome newfound joy into your life this month, Pisces. There will be a moment that changes your life for the better, but it may first seem like an unexpected gift! You always try to keep things together for other people’s sake, but it’s important to let your genuine emotions out this month when this shift happens. You’re allowed to jump for joy! Look out for this shift around the February 24 Virgo new moon, which lights up your area of partnerships and long-term commitments. Is this a new step in your love life? A new home? A new car? A new person to connect with? Whatever (or whoever) this is, just know you deserve the joy it brings.
