Talk planet Mercury is completing its long journey through Capricorn as the month begins. Capricorn rules your friends and group activities. It’s linked to your role within society, politics and your community. It’s about your place in the world and the people you care about the most.
Mercury was retrograde here last month, a potential time of misunderstandings or indecision. Yet, this month, Mercury is moving forward again and teams up with Pluto in Capricorn on the 10th, the day before leaving this sector of your horoscope.
This could prove to be a decisive turning point, whether you’re letting go of a group, club or society that’s been important to you. Alternatively, you’re making a firm commitment to a friend or group.
Pluto’s the planet of loss and transformation. When it’s pulled into the planetary activity, things can’t remain the same. Often, one door has to close before a new door can open.
You’re moving through a phase that may connect you more with the spiritual world as Aquarius is the star sign of the moment. The Sun is here until the 18th and talk planet Mercury joins the Sun in Aquarius on the 11th.
Aquarius rules the most hidden sector of your horoscope and turns your attention inward. It can be a time of preparation, when you want to restore your hope and faith. You might be learning to meditate, be on retreat or be listening more to your inner voice.
Aquarius is a social star sign linked to the collective, so this could indicate coming together with other people for a mutual cause. You might be meditating in a group or become involved in spiritual or philosophical teachings.
Follow wherever your heart leads you on this journey. In particular, notice who or what appears in your life on the 18th when your ruling planet Jupiter teams up with Mercury.
Jupiter expands what it touches and is the planet of opportunity and growth. This may turn out to be a lucky date, a time when synchronicity or coincidences arise. You may want to invest in an activity that’s deeply meaningful to you. It would be a good time to do so.
Also, the Full Moon takes place on the 5th when the Sun’s in Aquarius and the Moon’s in Leo. This is a powerful time to trust your intuition, listen to your dreams and read the signs of the universe. Don’t let yourself be swayed by other people or what you read or hear.
Uranus challenges the Sun and Moon during the Full Moon phase. You may recognise where you’re being diverted away from the truth or pulled away from you want or need.
If you’re true to your star sign, you have a deeply psychic and instinctual nature. This is about the hidden places, secrets and confidences. You may have to return to an ethical or moral dilemma, knowing how much to reveal and when to stay silent.
Don’t rush into life but pace yourself while the Sun’s in Aquarius. It’s important to strengthen your inner self before engaging actively with the world.
It’s not just about hidden issues this month, however, as there’s a strong influence on your star sign Pisces. The planet of relating Venus is here until the 20th. Plus, the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th heralding the start of your birthday season. Keep the focus on your personal goals and put yourself first.
When planets are in your star sign, it’s an excellent time to focus on your image and profile and consider how other people see you and how you come across.
Strong emphasis on your star sign Pisces could help you tap into your creative or spiritual source. You might be having profound thoughts or find that your imagination is unusually fertile. Go with the flow, listen out for signs and trust in life. Access the best side of your Pisces star sign, the world of fantasy and dreams, compassionate and caring
This month’s New Moon takes place in Pisces on the 20th, a symbol of new beginnings. This could be an outstanding date for you, whether you see yourself in a new light or have a major insight into your personal life.
Plus, there’s a stunning Venus-Neptune conjunction on the 15th and this feels especially beautiful and magical. Venus and Neptune in Pisces are boundless and represent unconditional love. You may channel this love into a close relationship or have a keen desire to care for and help others. See where love leads you. Be open-hearted, generous and inclusive.
The Sun represents energy and vitality. You often feel a boost of confidence or an energy surge once the Sun is back in your star sign. One of this month’s themes is about looking after yourself and not giving away too much of your time or energy.
Finally this month, it’s important to consider your home and family life and where you come from. This is because action planet Mars is moving through Gemini, the star sign at the base of your horoscope. Mars was retrograde here from the end of October to January 12th – ten weeks in all.
Mars is picking up speed this month which means it’s a good time to be ambitious about home and family plans. Crack on with a property move or arrange a family celebration. Mars will remain in Gemini until the end of March 2023.
Yet, Mars in your home and family sector can be argumentative. Perhaps, you have to confront what’s challenging in order to bring things out into the open. Ask for what you want and need and confront anyone close who’s being difficult or holding you back.
At times, this month’s planetary activity could leave you feeling breathless or out of control. It’s a month when life is likely to speed up as the focus turns towards you.

Aquarius is the star sign of the month as the Sun is here until the 18th. It’s birthday month for many of you, a time to celebrate your life and the day of your birth. Plus, communication planet Mercury joins the Sun in Aquarius on the 11th.
This turns the focus towards yourself and your personal goals and aims. It’s about being out in the world, thinking about where you’re heading and why. And, it’s a reminder that individual actions make a difference.
Your star sign Aquarius is linked to modern technology so you may find your voice online. Alternatively, you could decide to play your part within society, politics or the collective.
The current astrology is about the future, not only for yourself but the world as well. You may have a unique role to play moving forward. Plus, there are big shifts coming in your star sign Aquarius, continuing on from events in 2020. Who you are and what you represent could have a major impact on your next steps and the choices you make.
Listen out for news or opportunities on or around the 18th when lucky Jupiter encounters Mercury in your star sign. Jupiter represents expansion and growth and this may be about your role within society.
Plus, the Full Moon on the 5th could prove decisive for a relationship or your next steps as the Moon is in your opposite star sign Leo. The light of the moon illuminates and brings clarity.
Relationships are foreground during the Full Moon. Yet this month, the focus is strongly on you and your needs. Notice who ‘shines bright’ in your life but don’t make it all about them.
During the Full Moon, your co-ruler Uranus is in feisty mood and squares up to the Sun and Moon. Uranus is currently in earth sign Taurus at the base of your horoscope, representing your home and family, your past and where you come from.
This combination is rebellious and you might be ready to make a definitive split from the past. Or, perhaps you’re leaving your current home or family situation.
Alternatively, you may have a lot to rebel against or fight for. If this is true for you, engage your head and your heart during the Full Moon phase. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on your future goals and bring your noble Aquarius characteristics to the fore.
The Sun/Saturn conjunction in Aquarius is part of the picture and falls on the 16th. What you leave behind early in the month could help you recognise where commitment is required or what you’re standing for.
If you’re typical of your star sign, you care about others and where the world is heading. Or, perhaps you have your own personal nirvana you’re searching for. Either way, it feels like a pivotal time.
Pisces rules your personal money sector and there’s a lot of activity here throughout February. The planet of relating Venus is in Pisces until the 20th and the Sun is here from the 18th. This is a practical sector of your horoscope but it’s not about being logical or practical where money’s concerned.
Certainly, you’re wise to keep close tabs on your money but trust your intuition and listen out for hunches and coincidences. Practise the law of attraction and believe that what you give, you receive in return. Aim to be in flow with money, whatever that means for you personally.
On the 15th, there’s a gorgeous conjunction between Venus and Neptune in Pisces, two planets with a lot in common. This combination feels creative and is great for using your imagination and coming up with money-making ideas. Feel your way forward and, at the same time, remain open-hearted and faithful.
Venus in Pisces is boundless and giving; it’s a compassionate, kind and caring influence. This would be a good time to raise money for charity or help out someone in need. Alternatively, if you’re the one who’s struggling financially, ask for help. Do what you can to keep the flow of money moving.
Another significant date is the 20th when there’s a New Moon in Pisces, a symbol of new beginnings. This would be an excellent date to launch a new financial initiative, to improve your income or earnings and be savvy with your cash.
Also this month, passion planet Mars is stirring up excitement in your fellow air sign Gemini, ruling romance. There’s a thrill of the new about love and relationships. This may not take you down the tried and tested route to love. Mars is passionate and speedy and is linked to desire and strong urges.
Love may be on the agenda once the planet of love Venus enters fire sign Aries on the 20th. This is a strong and direct influence. If you’re keen on meeting someone new, take the initiative, ask someone out and go get what you want.
It’s not all about love, however, and passion could come in another shape or form. Aim to improve your knowledge and brainstorm your ideas. Talking to other people could be mind-blowingly exciting for more than one reason in the last ten days of the month.

If you feel that you’re at a crossroads or you have a sense that you’re on the verge of a whole new chapter in your life, you’re in tune with your stars. A major astrological shift takes place next month that’s hugely significant for you. It involves the planet of loss and endings, power and transformation, Pluto. Pluto’s been in your star sign Capricorn since 2008 but, next month, it begins its slow process of moving on.
This month, you may get a flicker of what this is about as talk planet Mercury completes its own long journey through Capricorn. Mercury normally whizzes through a star sign in two weeks but has been in your personal sector since early December. This is where Mercury was retrograde, i.e. in retreat last month.
Mercury leaves Capricorn this month on the 11th. Yet, before it does so, Mercury makes a definitive conjunction with Pluto on the 10th. What door is closing? Where are you ready to issue an ultimatum or say yes to a position of power? How is this final combination playing out in your life?
Mercury moves into air sign Aquarius on the 11th where it joins the Sun in Aquarius. The Sun remains in your personal money sector until the 18th. Aquarius rules your assets and possessions, your values and self-worth.
This is a positive month to get on top of your finances, to put systems in place that help ease the financial process and to debate what money means to you. Use modern technologies to help boost your progress.
You could experience a little bit of luck around money and finances on or around the 18th. This is when there’s a lucky Mercury-Jupiter aspect, a symbol of good news.
As Jupiter rules opportunity and growth, look out for ways to expand your income or be generous with your finances. You might feel benevolent and charitable. Or perhaps, you’re the one who’s gifted with money.
Also this month, the Full Moon on the 5th lights up the financial axis of your horoscope cutting across the Leo/Aquarius axis of the zodiac. This would be an ideal date to make a clear decision about money, although there is a proviso.
The planet of the unexpected Uranus is square to both the Sun and the Moon during the Full Moon phase. This flags up a desire for freedom. You might be in the mood to take a financial risk or throw caution to the winds where money’s concerned.
Alternatively, there may be extra expenses linked to a child or lover. The best advice when Uranus is wild and free is to make sure you engage your head and your heart before making a financial decision. Slow things down. Perhaps, put off a last-minute deal until you’ve had a chance to think things through.
On the 16th, your planet Saturn teams up with the Sun in Aquarius and this is measured and real. It indicates a time when you’re likely to make a better financial decision than earlier in the month.
People count in February as the planet of relating Venus is in the touchy-feely water sign Pisces until the 20th. Plus, the Sun joins Venus in Pisces on the 18th.
Therefore, this is not a month to be on your own. Instead, reach out to other people. Whether you want to ask for help and support or offer fun and friendship, encourage the flow of love and connections in your life.
If you’re looking for love or companionship, this would be an ideal month for making new connections and finding people of like minds. There’s a gentle vibe to your communications, offering you an opportunity to connect on a deep level with other people.
If you’re seeking a soul-mate connection, this is when you’re most likely to find it. The New Moon in Pisces takes place on the 20th, an ideal date for reaching out.
This is about education and being inspired by other people. Attend a talk, read books that are recommended to you and embrace learning and knowledge. If new invitations come your way, follow them up. Step outside your comfort zone and explore new ways of thinking and alternative activities.
Neptune, Pisces’ co-ruler, is evident this month on the 15th when there’s a gorgeous Venus-Neptune conjunction. Engage your imagination and use visual prompts to turn dreams into reality. What you read or hear during this period could be pure inspiration and fuel your ideas.
Pisces is a compassionate star sign and linked to your community, your neighbourhood. At its best, Venus is Pisces is unconditional love. This combination is connecting and inclusive, kind and caring.
Follow your emotions and open your heart. Themes of forgiveness are strong, whether you want to heal a rift or say ‘I’m sorry’. This is about speaking from the heart, whether you say ‘thank you’ more or compliment other people. Kindness breeds kindness – keep this mantra in mind.
It’s worth getting to grips with the more emotional side of life, as this is where there’s going to be some major astrology taking place over the next couple of years. Your ruler Saturn enters Pisces in March 2023.
On the one hand, this can be good news for you as it turns your attention inwards and taps you into your feelings. On the other hand, you’re one of the down-to-earth star signs and you don’t always take well to outbursts of emotion, your own or other peoples’. Think of this new chapter as a learning curve.
Finally this month, home and family affairs fall under the cosmic spotlight once lovely Venus enters fire sign Aries on the 20th. This is the start of lively planetary activity in this sector of your horoscope.
If you’re looking to move home or you’re changing around your living situation, this would a great time to get busy, sow seeds and start a new project. Venus is joining the best planet Jupiter in this sector of your horoscope. Therefore, new opportunities around home and family affairs could come thick and fast.
Also, action planet Mars is moving forward again in Gemini and your work and lifestyle sector. This is about getting back to basics and ensuring that your life works well on an everyday level. Create a safe base in your life, which will enable you to take some big leaps and have somewhere to land.

As February begins, talk planet Mercury is completing its journey through Capricorn and your personal money sector. Mercury was retrograde here last month and is finishing up business in the first half of this month.
Before Mercury leaves Capricorn on the 11th, there’s a final Mercury-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on the 10th. This is a definitive combination and it may seem as if you’re at the end of the road with one particular financial matter. Try and think of the theme of closing one door in order to open a new door to help guide you.
For example, you might be plugging a financial black hole or stop an ongoing payment. If you’ve done well financially in recent years, this is a good time to consider your next steps regarding money. There could be some big shifts in this area of your life over the next couple of years.
Talk planet Mercury moves into air sign Aquarius on the 11th where it joins the Sun. The Sun will be in Aquarius up until the 18th. This may turn your focus away from personal matters to issues within society and the wider world.
Aquarius is the star sign linked to the collective, it’s about community and all things local. If you’re involved in a new neighbourhood initiative, you’re in tune with your stars.
Aquarius is your communication sector, ideal for marketing, promotion, sales and collaboration. Reach out to other people, go viral, get online and use modern technology to find your voice.
The luckiest date could be the 18th when your ruling planet Jupiter teams up with Mercury. Listen out for a new opportunity or good news coming in. This might be regarding a sibling or neighbour or other people in your local community.
Also this month, the Full Moon on the 5th cuts across the Leo/Aquarius axis of the zodiac. This is the education axis of your horoscope, so study and teaching could be foreground.
Get involved with other people, reach out and make new connections. Full Moons have a theme of illumination and lighting the way. Start a book, write a blog post, find your voice.
The theme is freedom and breaking away from close ties. Leo rules travel and study in your horoscope so tap into your dreams and broaden your horizons.
You may need to be flexible, however, because change could come about unexpectedly. This is because unpredictable Uranus is square to the Sun and Moon during the Full Moon phase. Uranus is currently in earth sign Taurus ruling your work and health.
It’s not usually wise to take a big leap of faith when Uranus clashes with other planets. And yet, you may not be able to stop yourself. At its most extreme, this is about leaving the 9-to-5 and venturing into new territory.
There’s another influence playing out throughout March, which suggests you’re deep in the realm of emotions and it could be a sentimental month. This is because of planets moving through water sign Pisces at the base of your horoscope. Pisces rules your home and family, your past and where you come from.
The planet of relating Venus is here until the 20th and the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th. You might be on the hunt for news about your ancestry. Or, you want to find out more about your roots, your past or lineage. You may be acutely aware of the footsteps in the sand, leading you from your beginnings to where you are now.
This month’s New Moon falls in Pisces on the 20th, an excellent date to find your dream home or reconnect with your family. New Moons are a symbol of new beginnings and this one could be particularly beautiful.
Be open-hearted during this period and know that this is a key time to heal any rifts as Pisces is the star sign linked to forgiveness.
Plus, the planet of relating Venus makes a gorgeous conjunction to romantic and sentimental Neptune on the 15th. Family and past connections are strong during this whole period, so make the most of this gentle and beneficial influence.
The star sign Pisces represents surrender, letting go and the theme of release is strong. You may have a powerful sense that love is all around you. Find support from your loved ones and be there for your family and close connections. Venus in Pisces is a symbol of unconditional love.
Finally, love planet Venus moves into your fellow fire sign Aries on the 20th and this is stoking the fires of passion. You not only have the love planet Venus in Aries and your romance sector but passion planet, Mars is in Gemini and your relationship sector throughout February.
These are two huge clues on where to focus your energy. This could turn out to be a big month for love and relationships, especially after the 20th, whether you’re rekindling relations or running off with someone new. Gemini rules communication and Aries is fiery and quick. Therefore, your liaisons could be fast and furious.
Conversations could happen quickly and you may grab hold of an opportunity to clear the air in a significant relationship. You might experience more arguments than usual but at least you get to sort things out rather than hide what you’re feeling.

Communication planet Mercury is completing its journey through Capricorn. This is where Mercury was retrograde, i.e. on go slow last month. On the 10th, there’s a Mercury-Pluto conjunction, the day before Mercury leaves Capricorn on the 11th.
This is powerful for you as Pluto is your co-ruler and Capricorn is your communication sector. Therefore, it’s worth asking what conversation needs to happen. You might issue an ultimatum or be taking on a powerful role.
There’s something final about this as next month Pluto leaves Capricorn. Consider whether you’re ready to let go of something that’s symbolic of Pluto, i.e. a course of therapy, a position of power, past regrets, a teaching role.
Also, your ruling planet Mars has been retrograde and turned direct last month on January 18th. However, Mars got stalled and has been taking time to pick up the pace. This happens in February.
Mars is currently in air sign Gemini, the star sign of communication, backing up the Mercury-Pluto theme. Gemini rules an intriguing part of your horoscopes that’s closely linked to your star sign Scorpio. This is about the areas of life that are difficult to reach; inner communication, reading between the lines, looking beneath the surface.
Mars here can feel intense and full on. Yet, you’re not usually someone who shies away from transformation. Delve deep into your psyche and talk about what you’re experiencing. Mars in Gemini is the perfect talking cure.
Dare to go wherever other people fear to tread and make this your motto while Mars remains in Gemini until the end of March. If you work as a therapist or have psychic abilities, your intuition and instincts could be particularly acute.
Money and work are key factors this month and there’s a sense of progress. Big planet Jupiter is flying high in Aries and your work sector. Plus, your ruler Mars lights up your joint finance sector in Gemini.
You may be negotiating money matters or be looking at ways to earn or invest more. The 18th & 22nd could prove dynamic in helping you move forward.
The Sun is in Aquarius, the star sign of the moment, up until the 18th. And, talk planet Mercury moves here on the 11th. Aquarius is linked to your home and family, your past and where you come from.
The Full Moon on the 5th is a stand-out date to make a clear decision about your foundations and your future path. The Full Moon cuts across the Leo/Aquarius axis of the zodiac and the base and peak of your horoscope.
This is about the work/life balance and setting new structures in place and making new plans that you can build on moving forward. It’s a positive date to make a decision about your career and future path, your home and past.
There is a proviso, however, because erratic Uranus is square the Sun and Moon from Taurus and your relationship sector. Therefore, someone else could have other ideas or plans. Be wary of the person who might take umbrage to what you’re trying to do.
It’s not wise to put another person’s needs before your own. Engage your head as well as your heart during the Full Moon phase.
There’s another powerful planetary aspect which could prove significant here. The Sun & Saturn align in Aquarius on the 16th. This combination requires commitment, resilience or discipline. You may be taking on a caring role or have extra responsibilities around your home or family.
There’s another influence that’s strong throughout February, the star sign Pisces. Pisces is a fellow water sign and Venus is here until the 20th. Plus, the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th. This is gorgeous for wishing on a star, dreaming and immersing yourself in fantasy.
As a water sign, you know how to engage deeply with inspiration and ideas and activities that feed your soul. In fact, this is imperative, as everyday life won’t always cut it. You need something more to sustain you on a deeper level; an activity, dream or personal quest that allows your spirit to soar.
Pisces rules one of the best sectors of your horoscope ruling your creative talents, your children and the things in life you ‘give birth to’. Therefore, this is an ideal month to focus on your self-expression and ensure that play and creativity are foreground. Encourage your inner artist or expand your ideas through visualisation.
As a Sun Scorpio, you have a laser focus and you love having something to get your teeth into that becomes your private obsession. The astrology suggests that this is a good month to lose yourself in a passionate or creative pursuit.
Something magical could be born this month, especially on or around the New Moon in Pisces on the 20th. New Moons are a symbol of new beginnings and this New Moon falls a few days after a gorgeous Venus-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on the 15th.
If you’re looking for love, start your search straightaway and know that things peak for you mid-month. Pisces rules romance, love affairs and new love in your horoscope.
