Transit Tales

The New Moon conjunct Mars in friendly Aquarius on February 2 can intensify your desire to connect with friends, participate in group activities or better your world by helping those in need. Mercury entering Aquarius on February 3 (through February 20) heightens the progressive, social energy, while Saturn in Libra adds a deeper thoughtfulness to relationships and perhaps a desire for commitment.

After February 18, however, watery influences take over as the Sun, Mercury and Mars enter Pisces on February 18, 21 and 22, respectively. It’s all about expressing your sensitivity, spirituality and artistry. You may find your intuition is heightened, too. Although Pisces can help you get in touch with your higher self, it’s also the sign of denial and disillusionment, so be mindful of skimming over what you don’t want to face.

In the romance arena, at the start of February, Venus in Sagittarius fires up the fun and adventurousness in relationships. From February 3 through the end of the month, however, Venus in Capricorn will bring a steadier vibe to romance. Viewing love from a long-term perspective is the focus of this earthy influence.

Planets in Motion

Except for Saturn, which is retrograde through June 5, all planets are direct this month, signaling full speed ahead in your plans and projects. However, if you hit a roadblock in a new relationship or business, it might be retrograde Saturn at work. The planet of goals, commitments and challenges encourages you to reassess your long-term aspirations. Also, because it’s in Libra, the sign of love, this particularly applies to your relationships.

Lunar Magic

As mentioned above, the conjunction of the New Moon and Mars in Aquarius on February 2 intensifies the friendly, humanitarian energy for the next two weeks or so. It can also make you unusually antsy for a change in some area of your life. Breaking out of a rut – if you’re in one – and embracing a new endeavor, attitude or perspective can accelerate your personal growth. The sudden onset of rebelliousness or extremism may be the challenge.

Then romance and creativity take center stage as the Full Moon in Leo on February 18 energizes your playful side. The Venus-Saturn square on the same day, however, may dampen the fires of romance temporarily, or bring up an issue about vulnerability, responsibility or commitment.
