As we enter the heart of winter, the celestial energies shift, offering fresh opportunities and challenges for each zodiac sign. Whether you’re facing obstacles, considering new beginnings, or reflecting on past decisions, the astrological influences this month can help guide you toward growth and transformation. Read on to find out what your February horoscope reveals about the path ahead.
ARIES (21 MARCH – 19 APRIL)
There is an obstacle in your path. You tried to overcome it a few months ago, but you weren’t successful. Now you are trying again, and becoming increasingly angry at how much time and effort is required. Don’t let it get to you; take a few steps back, and you will see that it’s not as big as you think – and also that you can simply walk round it, if you wish. It’s not really an obstacle at all, just an inconvenience.
TAURUS (20 APRIL – 20 MAY)
When you really want something, you will pay any price for it – or accept an inferior version for a lower price, telling yourself you have got a bargain, when it isn’t true. What is on offer to you now is worth less than you think, and you may be stuck with it for a long time. The most valuable part of the deal is you; you are far better, and worth far more, than you let yourself believe. Ask for more, and you will get it.
GEMINI (21 MAY – 21 JUNE)
It’s hard to make progress when you find yourself constantly having to ask others for help, and fighting rules and regulations which seem deliberately designed to stifle any individual creativity. Should you just give up? No, you should wait. Late December may be against you, but January will offer softer and more flexible options for the future – an ideal environment for you to demonstrate your ideas and your abilities.
CANCER (22 JUNE – 22 JULY)
For weeks you have been patiently bearing the steadily increasing pressure of an impossible situation. Now, as Mars returns to your own sign and the full moon builds the emotional tension to its peak, you decide that you have had enough. Mars will give you the strength to do whatever actions are needed – but you must also be clear and honest in your intentions. Say not only what you are going to do, but why.
LEO (23 JULY – 22 AUGUST)
Many of us say we are going to make a new start, but what we really mean is that we are going to repeat what we have done before in the hope that it will work out better this time. You are about to make a new start now – but make sure that it is exactly that, a complete re-shaping of your ambitions, building on the lessons of the past but at the same time moving away from them, so you don’t get drawn back.
VIRGO (23 AUGUST – 22 SEPTEMBER)
The search for perfection never ends, as you know- but there is a point when what you gain is not worth what you have to do to achieve it. How do you know you have reached that point? Perhaps when the person you most care for tells you that they like you as you are, that you don’t need to do anything more, and that they would rather you worked less, so that you have more time to spend together.
LIBRA (23 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER)
You may be the best candidate for the job, but that doesn’t mean that you have to accept it, no matter how flattering the offer may appear. It may be that you are seeing this as a safe option after a recent disappointment; that’s understandable, but there’s no need to be so cautious. The new year is going to move you forwards in all sorts of ways, and you need to be free to move, to take advantage of all that.
SCORPIO (24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER)
When you decide to do something, you really go for it, all the way. So it’s annoying to find yourself, as you do now, having to backtrack on a recent decision and undo what you did. But if it makes you feel any better, you weren’t wrong in your original thinking; it’s just that the situation has changed since then, and you need to take account of those changes. Don’t just go for a quick fix; think about the long term.
SAGITTARIUS (23 NOVEMBER – 22 DECEMBER)
You seem to have got yourself into a situation where you have no room to move, which is never a good thing for a Sagittarian. Your first impulse is to leave everything behind and run away, but actually there’s no need to do anything so drastic. All you have to do is de-clutter your life a little, and give yourself room to breathe. Ask your partner or closest friend what they would do in your place – then take their advice.
CAPRICORN (23 DECEMBER – 20 JANUARY)
You may not think that you are in need of emotional rescue, but someone else clearly does, and they are determined to show that they can be there for you. At first you find this a little unsettling, but as time goes by you find their company quite pleasing, and start looking forward to the time you spend together. Is this just a friendship, or the start of an affair? You’re not sure, but it feels good, so stay with it.
AQUARIUS (21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY)
You are in that quiet time that always comes before a big event. When the Sun energizes Pluto in your sign at the end of the month, it will set the first of the new year’s big changes in motion, and you will be swept forwards. Before that, though, you have a few precious weeks to spend as you please. If you can, do something special, which is neither of the past nor the future, but of now, and just for you.
PISCES (20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH)
Is getting back together with an ex a good idea? You may think so, because you think you know what you’re getting; but it may also be that knowing each other already lets you go very deep, very fast, and that could bring up unresolved problems from the last time you were together. Don’t worry, you’ve got this. Saturn in your sign lets you control the pace: if you want to slow things down, it’s easy to do.
