Key Astrological Events in February 2025
- New Moon in Aquarius (Feb 5): Time to set wild, unconventional goals and embrace your weirdest, most authentic self. Aquarius energy is all about innovation, tech, and breaking free from outdated traditions.
- Full Moon in Virgo (Feb 19): This moon is your chance to clean house (literally and emotionally). Virgo vibes push us toward productivity, organization and taking care of our health. If you’ve been slacking, expect a cosmic reality check.
- Mercury Retrograde in Pisces & Aquarius (Feb 14 – March 10): Yep, here we go again. Expect delays, miscommunications, and exes sliding back into your DMs. Pisces energy makes this retrograde extra dreamy, so double-check emails and avoid signing contracts if possible.
- Venus in Capricorn (Until Feb 16) and Venus in Aquarius (Feb 16 onward): Love shifts from serious, goal-oriented Capricorn vibes to fun, unconventional and independent Aquarius energy. If you’ve been clinging to a relationship out of duty, this transit might have you rethinking everything.
- Mars in Sagittarius (Until Feb 23) and Mars in Capricorn (Feb 23 onward): A big energy shift! Fiery, adventurous Mars in Sag has us chasing freedom, while Mars in Capricorn gets down to business. Expect a serious productivity boost in the last week of February.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
- Love: Venus in Capricorn at the start of the month might have you feeling a little serious about love—are you in or out? By mid-month, Venus shifts into Aquarius, making things less emotionally intense and more about fun. If you’re single, this is a great time to connect with people who share your passions. Beware of Mercury retrograde bringing back an ex who is so not worth it (this is especially relevant for Aries men).
- Money: Mars in Sagittarius lights a fire under your career goals. You’re feeling ambitious, and that’s great, but be careful not to make impulsive financial decisions, especially around Feb 14 when Mercury retrograde starts. Hold off on major investments until March if you can.
- Health: The Full Moon in Virgo on Feb 19 reminds you to check in on your daily habits. If you’ve been ignoring self-care, this is your wake-up call. Get back to basics:hydration, sleep and movement. Add a vegan protein powder to your morning routine, and if you need a new pair of kicks, February is a good time to shop for health-focused gear.
- Travel: February is a great month for spontaneous trips, especially while Mars is in Sagittarius. If you’ve been itching for adventure, take advantage of the first three weeks of the month. Just double-check travel plans around Mercury retrograde.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
- Love: Venus in Capricorn makes you crave stability and long-term commitment, but once it moves into Aquarius on Feb 16, you might start feeling restless. If you’re in a relationship, expect deep talks about the future. If you’re single, be open to someone completely different from your usual type.
- Money: Financially, you’re in a solid position, but Mercury retrograde (Feb 14 – March 10) warns against risky investments or new contracts. Stick to what you know and avoid major purchases until March. You could probably benefit from a cheap budget planner to keep your goals on track for 2025.
- Health: Virgo’s Full Moon on Feb 19 is your body’s reset button. Have you been ignoring signs of burnout? This is the perfect time to focus on gut health, clean eating and stress management. Release unhealed trauma if you can (maybe a new meditation routine or weekly relaxation yoga?).
- Travel: Work obligations might keep you grounded in the first half of the month, but after Feb 16, you might be craving a change of scenery. A quick weekend trip to a city with great art and culture will do wonders for your mood. Pack a long puffer coat and get outdoors!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
- Love: This is a spicy month for romance, Gemini! Venus in Capricorn has had you taking love seriously, but by mid-month, Aquarius energy makes things fun and unpredictable. Just watch out for past lovers creeping back during Mercury retrograde. Don’t look back‚ you’re not going that way.
- Money: Financially, February is stable, but Mercury retrograde could bring delays in payments or confusion around contracts. Stay organized, read the fine print and avoid major financial commitments. Shop for Valentine’s gifts for him the first week of February when you’re most likely to find an amazing deal.
- Health: Mars in Sagittarius has you buzzing with energy, but don’t overdo it. Listen to your body, especially after Feb 19 when the Full Moon reminds you to prioritize rest. And I know you hate to hear this, but your body (more than several other signs) has the tendency to hold onto anger and trauma. Consider giving The Body Keeps Score a read to let go and heal—you need it.
- Travel: You’ll itch to get away this month, especially while Mars is in Sagittarius. If you can swing it, take a solo trip or weekend getaway before Feb 23.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
- Love: This month is all about emotional clarity. Venus in Capricorn has been highlighting your serious side, but as the month progresses, Aquarius energy reminds you that love doesn’t have to be so heavy. If you’re single, try stepping out of your comfort zone!
- Money: Mercury retrograde may cause delays in work projects or financial transactions, but don’t panic. Review your budgets and savings plan, and wait until March for big purchases. You’d benefit from being religious with a cheap budget planner right now.
- Health: Virgo’s Full Moon on Feb 19 puts the spotlight on mental wellness. If you’ve been bottling up emotions, this is your cue to journal, meditate or seek therapy. It’s also an ideal time to add more protein to your diet. Consider this game-changing women’s health shake recipe or these mouth-watering cottage cheese protein pancakes. Yum!
- Travel: Stick to local trips this month. Mercury retrograde could bring flight delays or lost luggage, so if you must travel, be extra prepared. Consider these brilliant luggage tags if you absolutely must hit the airport.
Leo (July 23 – Aug 22)
- Love: Your relationships are getting a reality check this month. Whether it’s a romantic partner or a bestie, you’ll see people’s true colors. If someone isn’t respecting your boundaries, it’s time to walk away. Have you ever read The Highly Sensitive Person’s Guide to Dealing with Toxic People? It’s worth the read if you’re trapped in an endless loop of chaos-makers. Leo’s bright, brilliant soul tends to attract a lot of good people and bad.
- Money: You might get a surprise financial opportunity, but with Mercury retrograde, read the fine print before signing anything. You’d do well to find some new money-saving social media accounts to follow and study. Have you seen this guide to the best times of year to shop? Brilliant.
- Health: Your energy levels are all over the place, thanks to Mars shifting signs. The Virgo Full Moon is the perfect time to start a new fitness routine or meal plan. Consider adding a vegan protein powder to your breakfast or snack routine.
- Travel: You may have big travel dreams, but delays are possible. If you do go somewhere, triple-check reservations and pack your compression socks.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
- Love: February starts off with serious relationship energy thanks to Venus in Capricorn, making you crave stability. By mid-month, when Venus moves into Aquarius, you might start questioning whether your current relationships truly align with your long-term goals. If you’re single, this is a great time to let go of perfectionism and embrace spontaneity in dating. Do the weird, spontaneous stuff—you need it as a balance.
- Money: The Full Moon in Virgo on Feb 19 puts the spotlight on your financial organization. If you’ve been slacking on budgeting or tracking expenses, expect a cosmic wake-up call. Mercury retrograde (Feb 14 – March 10) could bring delays in payments or unexpected financial hiccups, so keep a financial cushion handy.
- Health: This Full Moon in your sign is a health reset button. Are you prioritizing nutrition, movement and stress relief? If not, this is your cue to make small, sustainable changes. Don’t be surprised if you feel extra sensitive to gut health issues this month—probiotics and clean eating might be your best friends. I’m a Virgo rising and take these probiotics each day (and if you didn’t already know, Virgo signs are prone to constipation so probiotics can be especially helpful).
- Travel: Mercury retrograde makes long-distance travel tricky, so if you must go somewhere, plan for potential delays. Local trips and wellness retreats are a safer bet! If you’re heading on a flight, these brilliant luggage tags could save the day for you (sorry/not sorry).
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
- Love: You’re starting February in serious relationship mode, but by mid-month, things shift into a lighter, more exciting energy. If you’re single, unconventional connections might spark something real. Taken? Keep things fresh with new experiences together—date night ideas that break the routine are a must. It’s okay to stay home, too. Make a new meal together, go for a round of your fave board games or order a masseuse to pay a house call!
- Money: Financially, February is steady, but Mercury retrograde warns against major money moves. Double-check contracts and hold off on big purchases until March if possible. You might revisit an old career opportunity that still has potential (and may offer a raise).
- Health: Mars in Sagittarius has you motivated to get active, but don’t overdo it. Focus on balance—both physically and emotionally. The Virgo Full Moon on Feb 19 reminds you to prioritize mental health and cut out toxic habits. Steer clear of booze right now, friend. Have you tried adding a magnesium powder to your fave sparkling water as a wine replacement? So good.
- Travel: You might be craving a change of scenery, but Mercury retrograde could make travel chaotic. If you must go, book refundable tickets and triple-check plans. Airports could be risky business for you right now (but kicking back with your best slippers at home is an astrological win)!
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
- Love: February brings deep emotional shifts in your relationships. Venus in Capricorn had you craving commitment, but as Aquarius energy takes over, you might feel the need for space or independence. If something feels off, trust your gut—this is a month of clarity and bold decisions in love.
- Money: You’re restructuring your financial goals, and Mercury retrograde may force you to rethink old financial strategies. Avoid big financial risks this month. Stick to saving and planning and March will bring more clarity. You’re another sign who’d benefit from a cheap budget planner.
- Health: Your stress levels need monitoring, especially mid-month. The Virgo Full Moon urges you to release toxic routines and detox your environment. Try breathwork, meditation or even a social media cleanse.
- Travel: You may need a mental escape, but February isn’t ideal for big trips. A quiet weekend retreat might be the best way to recharge. Kick back by the fire with a good movie, some fun new skincare (maybe one of the best Korean serums?) and a cuppa hot cocoa.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
- Love: Venus in Capricorn has had you thinking long-term in relationships, but once it shifts into Aquarius, you might feel a pull toward freedom and fun. If you’re in a relationship, this is a great time for exciting new experiences together. If single, don’t settle for less than what sparks joy.
- Money: Your work ethic is strong this month, and Mars in Sagittarius has you feeling unstoppable. Mercury retrograde might slow things down temporarily, but stay patient—what’s meant for you won’t pass you by. And OMG, you have a lot of goodness heading your way in 2025.
- Health: Mars in your sign is boosting your energy, but beware of burnout. February is great for movement, but don’t overexert yourself. This is the best month of the year for you to prioritize yoga, walking, gentle Pilates and swimming (if it’s warm enough by you). By April you’ll be back on track for more intense classes. One thing to be wary of—you’re likely not hitting your sleep goals. Have considered a magnesium supplement? I take a glass of Calm every night a couple hours before bed and it’s helped me a lot (but obviously chat with your own doctor).
- Travel: February is perfect for a last-minute adventure, especially in the first three weeks. Just be cautious of Mercury retrograde after Feb 14—double-check plans!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
- Love: Venus in your sign (until Feb 16) makes you irresistible, but once it shifts into Aquarius, love becomes more about intellectual connections. If you’re single, someone unexpected could pique your interest. If you’re in a relationship, focus on balancing responsibility with romance. If you’re shopping for Val Day, stick to cool gifts under $50 and any excess cash can be focused on experiences.
- Money: Mars shifts into Capricorn on Feb 23, bringing a productivity boost. If you’ve been feeling stuck at work, things pick up fast. Mercury retrograde may cause delays in payments, so be patient.
- Health: The Virgo Full Moon on Feb 19 highlights routine adjustments. A small habit change could make a huge impact on your energy. Ideas that are surefire wins for most Capricorns: 20-minute walks after meals and chia-pudding breakfasts (Caps tend to have sluggish digestive systems).
- Travel: Not the best time for major trips, but short getaways for business or relaxation will be beneficial.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
- Love: Venus enters your sign on February 16, making you the center of attention in love (and you deserve it). If you’re single, this is prime flirting season. If you’re in a relationship, you’re rethinking what freedom looks like within commitment.
- Money: February is a financial mixed bag—Mercury retrograde might stall career moves, but use this time to refine your strategy. Please, for the love of everything holy, stop buying weird tzotchkes and gadgets you don’t really need and check out this brilliant tip if you love shopping for clothes.
- Health: With so much cosmic energy in your sign, you might feel overstimulated. Try grounding practices like yoga or meditation to balance your energy. You should probably be committing to a healthy breakfast routine, too. We love this women’s health shake recipe, though you could always indulge with K’far sticky buns (yum).
- Travel: A spontaneous trip after Feb 16 could be exactly what you need! Just prepare for possible delays. Consider these brilliant luggage tags if you absolutely must hit the airport.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
- Love: With Mercury retrograde in your sign, communication in love could get messy. Take your time before making big relationship decisions. By late February, things start to make more sense and happy, pleasant interactions crystallize.
- Money: Mercury retrograde brings career reassessments, so hold off on major financial decisions. Use this time for reflection and strategic planning. You’ve got major financial blessings heading your way by mid April, so steady your course till then. A simple budget planner would do you a world of good right now.
- Health: Your mental health needs extra care this month. If emotions feel overwhelming, lean into creativity or journaling to process them. You’d do well having a few close friends over for a movie night or heading to a local restaurant with a BFF for a new take on your favorite dish. You may in the mood to redecorate your casa as well. Check out these trending ideas and light, bright rooms.
- Travel: If you must travel, be extra mindful of logistics—Mercury retrograde could cause confusion.
