February 2022

The full moon in Leo on February 16 can put you in the spotlight and/or bring exciting news, a reward or unexpected opportunity. A goal or a finish line can be reached. Venus and Mars switch lead. In so doing they set another facet of fate or destiny into play. Venus, Mars, and Pluto can keep you consumed with a completion track or stepping-stone process through the first week in March.

A new job or career trajectory (i.e. opening your own business) could be a good move. Creative solutions and independence initiatives are too. Put your smarts to work and watch the good it does you. You could benefit from a new boss, agent, bank/bank term, healthcare or service provider, advisor, home or office location). It’s a good time for upgrades of all kinds, i.e. a new technique, procedure or policy, upgrades to your resume, website, marketing strategy, to computer or other technology. A new attitude or look can do wonders for you too.

Look to the Leo full moon on February 16 for a breakthrough (personal or regarding a circumstance already in play.) Feb 4, 11, and 24 are also dates to watch. Switching track on February 16, Venus and Mars in Capricorn set the whole month up as a work in progress. Endings and beginnings are intertwined. They are also well timed. Don’t hold on to that which no longer is viable. Change is destined for you. Have courage, embrace it.

Mercury retrograde ends on Feb 3. The sun and Saturn begin a new format on Feb 4 and Mars synchronizes with (trines) Uranus on Feb 8. Also in the mix, Juno enters Aquarius on Feb 1, and Ceres enters Gemini on Feb 9. Put that all together and you can expect to find yourself on a better move along, despite the continuing challenge or limitation. While added patience, effort or belt tightening is required, don’t let it stop you. Stay ambitious. It will net a pay off in due course. Look for fresh opportunity – it is out there and waiting for you. The Leo full moon on February 16 could dish up something fun, exciting, lucrative, catapulting, or unexpected. You could make a significant purchase or breakthrough.

On the recent front, Venus has just ended a retrograde tour. As of Feb 3, Mercury does too. As the month progresses, you should feel you are making good headway. There are many breakthrough dates sprinkled throughout the month to assist you or to jettison you, starting with the sun’s conjunction with Saturn on February 4. The two weeks that follow will keep you on a roll. Mercury meets with Pluto on February 11, completing the big push cycle it started at the end of December. Take a pause for reflection and you’ll see there is quite a difference from where you started to where you are now.

Venus and Mars will take the entire month to wrap it up, while also setting paving stones in place for the next build-it-better chapter. What is cementing now (your new reality) has been a long time in works.

Consider February as a work in progress. If you feel held up or the going tough, know that there is a larger format/bigger picture reason in the works. Your soul has a purpose; time works on its own clock. February 14, Mercury exits Capricorn for Aquarius. The full moon in Leo on February 16 is accompanied by Mars taking the lead on Venus. On an intensified completion and set-up track, Venus/Mars will now get even more targeted and specific regarding karmic undertakings/the tasks at hand. Depending on how it aligns with your personal chart, the full moon could signal a breakthrough of significance. A singular moment could change everything. Creative opportunity is at peak. The exceptional or destined is in play in some significant way.

On a dig deeper for it track, Mercury joins forces with Pluto on February 11 for the last of three motivational meetings (Dec 30, Jan 28, Feb 11). No more excuses, put yourself to task and make good use of the time you have. In general, you should find yourself revitalized and on a better move along regarding work, studies, health, and the to-do pile.

Mercury enters Aquarius on Valentine’s Day. Make it fun, surprise someone you love. In general (and for the rest of the month), Mercury in Aquarius is a good for putting a fresh spin on it. The transit can set a backdrop for more social activity too.

February 16 delivers a full moon in Leo. It isn’t an eclipse but it could act like one, that is to say it could jettison you or put circumstances on an acceleration track. Opportunity comes knocking. It can also come via an unexpected moment. You may feel the catapulting creative force of this full moon particularly strong if your birthday is on or near August 20. Mars/Venus, a karmic pairing, can move the past forward in some meant to be way.

On Feb 11, Mercury/Pluto complete the cycle begun at the end of December. By this point, you should feel you have filled in more of the missing blanks and question marks, that you are sufficiently packed up and ready to take on the next adventure.

Over the hump and breaking new ground with Saturn, the sun in Aquarius keeps the action lively for the first three weeks. Mercury enters Aquarius on Feb 14 to finish the month in this sign. Keeping body, mind, and heart on the go, both sun and Mercury take you on a fresh learning curve. Both planets boost social matters. The month ahead is ideal for exploring new subjects, interests, and activities, for meeting new friends and reconnecting with folks too. An instant hit or sense of déjà vu is a clue to the importance of the review or undertaking. Travelling together for the whole month ahead, Venus and Mars are working along a karmic rewind and finish off and/or karmic foundation laying track. The Leo full moon on February 16 crosses a significant threshold in this regard as Mars takes the lead on Venus that day.

Self preservation, self care, home, and family matters are to the forefront. Priorities, needs and interests are evolving. The Capricorn transits are staging a time is ripe moment for something that has been long in the works, perhaps long overdue, long neglected, or long ignored. Thinking along the lines of paid your dues, where is the reward? For some, its about slowing down, retirement, or downsizing, for others the new chapter can be about more recognition, a new business or career venture, getting married, starting a family, or buying your first home. The whole month can see you put finishing touches on the priorities of the past, the evolving present, and the cut and paste phase of the future. Accompanied by Venus/Mars switching drivers, the full moon in Leo on February 16 sets up a threshold crossing, turnaround, and/or breakthrough time (for matters of heart, wallet, health, or career). This full moon can jettison you (or someone you love) in a significant and perhaps unexpected way. (Metaphorically or in actuality, the full moon could produce a strike it rich moment).

Feb 11, Mercury/Pluto (conjunction) complete the push harder/dig deeper initiative they began at the end of December. You may have felt this as an under pressure, soul searching, or hunting mission influence. You still have further to go, but at least you are now better informed.

Mercury in Aquarius, starting February 14, can speed up the process or the reality. Your days can get fuller/busier. You could have something of karmic significance to confront or to move past on the full moon of February 16. Accompanied by Mars and Venus in Capricorn switching lead, the full moon in Leo can prompt you to take charge, to respond with force, to legitimize it, or call the shot in some new way. Be seen, be heard, show what you are made of. The full moon could put you (or one you love), your reputation, or your business in the spotlight. A well-timed action or response could produce a great result. The exceptional could come to pass. You could have a major breakthrough. Added expense can be in the mix too. (You might need to replace or upgrade something).

Feb 11, Mercury/Pluto complete the dig deeper/force the envelope cycle begun at the end of December. Likely they’ve kept you focused (driven perhaps obsessed) on getting it under better control (your powerplay initiatives), on devising better strategies for success, for getting your essential needs met (a better paycheck, a deeper bond with those who matter most, a pathway forward). If you haven’t found your answers yet, know that your soul is actively pursuing that detective work and you’ll have better clarity in due course. Venus, Mars, and Pluto need more time. By the beginning of March, all three will set go on new cycles.

The opportune full moon in Leo on February 16 might not be an eclipse, but it could feel like one, especially so if your birthday falls on or near Dec 19. The full moon triggers the lunar nodes (the karmic axis). Venus and Mars on a switch track can put fate or destiny in play in some significant, threshold crossing or breakthrough way. Happy news, a legal win, or favoured attention could come your way. The unexpected is in the mix. This is an excellent full moon for creative endeavours, for teaching, demonstrating, exhibiting, performing, broadcasting, marketing, or relocation. Be they future lover, friend, agent, or benefactor, a special someone could make an entrance (or take an exit).

Thanks to Venus in slower than average motion, the Venus/Mars coupling is unusually long – in fact, it is quite rare! Step by step, Venus and Mars are working toward the cementing of a new momentum/your new reality. They are helping you to put better boundaries in place, to build a better framework for your life (personal, professional, and health wise). Ambition is well placed. Hold steady, keep focused on the goal/the end game, keep chipping away at it. Each step taken, each paving-stone placed, each victory won is a momentous gain. Don’t under-estimate a thing.

On Feb 4, one day after Mercury retrograde ends, the sun teams up with Saturn in Aquarius and triggers something new. Mars keeps the action on a roll through February 8 (a particularly good date to set wheels in motion or to follow synchronicity and its good lead). Feb 11, Mercury/Pluto complete the informing, soul searching, and dig deeper for it cycle they started at the end of December.

Feb 14, Mercury leaves Capricorn for Aquarius. It’s a good day to surprise someone you love and/or to light a fresh spark. The full moon in Leo on Feb 16 can set a catapulting and/or breakthrough backdrop. Watch for news or the unexpected. The full moon could be lucrative or see you on a winning streak (regarding action taking, timing, investments, intuition, creative enterprise, or a relationship issue.) Someone or something new, perhaps out of the blue, can overtake you. Venus and Mars on a switch track intensify the karmic nature of circumstances and threshold crossings.

Use February to get the loose ends and unfinished business wrapped up, to get yourself better organized and ready. The sun/Saturn conjunction on Feb 4 brings the workweek to an end, but starts a new manifesting cycle for you. Feb 8 is a particularly good day to work with. Synchronicity and opportunity is at peak, thanks to Mars trine Uranus, the moon trine Pluto and Ceres into Gemini.

Mercury in Aquarius, starting Feb 14, is the first of the stellar batch to hit the ground running. Thanks to its dynamic aspects to the karmic axis (the moon’s nodes), the full moon in Leo on February 16 can have a similar effect to that of an eclipse. That is to say, the full moon can thrust the action switch in some unexpected, accelerated, and destined way. You could make a breakthrough of significance with someone or something (regarding self, profession, creative, material/financial, relationship, health). You will feel this fullest catapulting effect of this full moon if you are born on or near Feb 16.

Adding to the karmic nature of circumstances and involvements, Venus and Mars switch the driver’s seat on this date. February 16 to March 5, they will move into an industrious finishing and seeding phase. As of March 6, Venus and Mars will springboard onto their next two-year initiative, that of reinventing just about everything about you and your life. Venus and Mars are picking up from Saturn and Jupiter on a new bigger picture trajectory and they are preparing the way for Pluto’s entrance into Aquarius in 2023.

The Mercury/Pluto conjunction on Feb 11 completes the stripping away and soul-searching process begun at the end of December. You may not have all your questions answered or all your missing blanks filled in, but for now, the stars say you have enough to go on. They’ll provide more on a need-to-know basis. For the entire month ahead, Venus and Mars will continue to build toward better definition regarding the shape of things to come, at the same time also working on their wrap up agenda.

Feb 14, Mercury enters Aquarius. It’s a good transit for gifting yourself with more quality time doing your own thing, for studies, creative projects, or for pleasure pursuits. Something or someone new could be a good perk me up. The full moon in Leo on February 16 could set up a good backdrop for problem-solving day or for meeting with successful results. It could bring good news, perhaps about a job, contract, or test, a legal matter, or regarding your health, one of your kids or someone you care about.

Follow an instinct or a whim, it could work out good for you. Try a new hair style, indulge yourself, gift yourself. Money spent on new equipment or vehicle, a website upgrade, your health, training or education, etc. is likely money well spent. The full moon is in dynamic tension to the karmic axis (the lunar nodes) and is accompanied by Venus and Mars switching leads. Do not underestimate the karmic nature of circumstances and undertakings. It can be a breakthrough or threshold crossing time of significance.
