Reflection, momentum, reward, satisfaction…February has it all and marks the final days of an important three-year cycle of hard lessons and personal growth. So, what’s in store for your sign? Read on to find out.

New here? I always recommend reading for your rising sign rather than your sun sign. You can find out your rising sign by casting your chart here. Want to learn more?

The momentum continues this month as renewed energy has you scrambling to make up for lost time. As tempting as it is to (try to) squash the past four months of productivity into one, channel your inner meerkat and poke your head up–at least once. With Saturn preparing to leave your social sphere, now is the time to give thanks for the people who have stuck by you through the craziness of the last few years.

Tip: Sign up for that slightly-random-but-fun class (Zumba, Salsa, Tennis) you’ve always wanted to do with someone who truly sees you.

The first few weeks of this month look especially sweet as the vibes beckon you to check out of reality with your dearest friends. With a lot of residual angst still buzzing around, recognising opportunities for connection when they come along will help keep things in perspective. As Saturn gears up to move on from your career sphere, it’s also an excellent month to chalk up all the (tough) lessons you’ve learned on the job since March 2020. 

Tip: Get away for a weekend with friends who make you feel renewed.

The desire to hit your ‘boost’ button and catch up on all the things that didn’t get done towards the end of last year will be major this month. There’s all manner of knots to untangle and you will get them sorted but don’t get so fixated on future you. Otherwise, you miss the here and now. If you’re seeking clarity, leaning on a mentor at work could help make sense of it all.

Tip: Connect with workmates (past or present) who can help get you fall in love with your job again.

Stock up on face masks and set your phone to Do Not Disturb, because the first few weeks of Feb are a green light to lay low. While there’s plenty of buzz around the day-to-day, for Cancerians, February is a time to make space for some serious soul searching. If you’ve got leave owing, a little wellness retreat could be the break you didn’t know you needed.

Tip: Splash out on a new journal and reflect on what the past few years taught you about your relationship with control, shadow and trust.

The sun is shining on your love life this month and things are looking up… grown up, to be precise. With Saturn preparing to shuffle out of your intimate relationship sphere, it’s a golden moment to get clear on what the past three years have taught you about love. It may not have been an easy time but there is no growth without discomfort–especially when it comes to intimacy.

Tip: Make a list of the trickiest romantic moments since 2020 and tally up what each one taught you about what you need in a partner.

Death by to-do list is an occupational hazard this month as your energy levels (finally) get back online. But beyond the extreme productivity (especially at work), there’s a more meta task calling for your attention. The sun is shining a light on the end of a three-year cycle where you’ve been asked to get serious about your health. So, what have you learned? What are you ready to let go? You’ve got all month to figure it out…

Tip: Write a list of the wellness commandments you want to take into the next three years…and beyond.

It may seem strange but despite all the time stuck at home, finding the headspace to relax hasn’t been easy the past few years. With Saturn casting a heavy shadow, even your down time may have had a serious quality to it. This month, the sun is asking you reflect on what all the seriousness has taught you about fun, play, creativity, even hooking up. What fun things do you wish you had time to do? How can you take pleasure more seriously? Remember the adage: “The time you enjoy wasting isn’t wasted time.”

Tip: Put time in your calendar to do something you (maybe only you) find fun; the weirder and whackier the better.

While the first few weeks of February promises no shortage of serious conversations–especially on the home front–there’s a juicy reprieve to be found behind closed doors. With Venus turning up the Sade until 20 February, just try not to lose yourself in dreamy, steamy sex. Single, attached, together, alone, it doesn’t matter who or how; just give yourself permission to escape into pleasure.

Tip: Shimmy into that Agent Provocateur you’ve been saving for a special occasion–even if you’re the only one who’ll see it.

If the past few years have taught you nothing else, standing your ground and getting firm with boundaries–especially when it comes to family–has been a steep learning curve. This month, take pause to consider all the growing (up) you’ve had to do and give yourself a pat on the back. As Venus glides through your home sector (until 20 Feb), investing in the people who do understand, respect and value you will be a joy.

Tip: Make time to unwind with the family who truly deserve your love and attention.

If the past few years have felt like a slog–especially when it comes to your cash sitch–take comfort in the knowledge that the hard yards are coming to an end. With your ruling planet gearing up to move out of Aquarius, you’re on the brink of a new money chapter. Your mission this month is to consider what (potentially hard) lessons you’ve learned about your resources since March 2020, and what new perspective you’re taking into the next three years.

Tip: Cut the cord on any outstanding financial drains and get clear on what money rules matter to you.

With your home season under way there’s a steely resolve to the first few weeks of the month. So far, the 2020s have been especially intense on Aquarian folks but the sun is shining on you baby and it’s time to bask in the warmth–even if you don’t much care for the spotlight. A sense of accomplishment, perspective, even reward to all that ‘keep calm and carry on’ energy will flow freely. Lap it up, you’ve earned it.

Tip: Treat yourself to something outrageously you (Kat Maconie heels! Crypto! Unlimited Omnilux!) to celebrate all you’ve accomplished the past three years.

With Mars retrograde finally starting to calm things down on the home front, February is a time to lay low and reset. Prioritising rest, solitude and relaxation should be the only thing on your to-do list. With Venus also sashaying through your sphere of personal style, investing in a little touch up–hair, nails, skin, you name it–could be a delicious treat ahead of next month’s major mood change.

Tip: Preserve your energy and invest in little luxuries that make you feel loved.
