February 2022, Holiscopes
With both Venus and Mercury stationing direct by the first few days of the month, February brings forth renewed clarity on the level of our values, communication, and relationships. As we are now in the collective sign of Aquarius, with a focus on humanity, innovation, and the future, we will be better able to bring our ideas and energies outward, beyond our subjective cocoons.
The New Moon in Aquarius on the 1 is an opportune moment to think about how we can best serve the collective, reconnect to our dreams, and allow our eccentricities to shine. A few days later on the 4, Mercury will station direct in the sign of Capricorn. Mars forms a sextile to Jupiter on the same day, adding physical vitality and offering opportunities for new beginnings. Act on any clarity you’ve received in the past weeks, especially on the level of Capricorn themes like ambition and career.
On the 11, Mercury conjoins Pluto in Capricorn, connoting intense mental activity, especially on a long-term project or deep investigative work. Mercury will change signs to Aquarius on the 14, expanding our minds and encouraging us to communicate more uniquely.
February 16 brings the Full Moon in Leo, a time to celebrate yourself, your creativity, and connect to your heart centre. The same day, Venus conjoins Mars in Capricorn near Pluto, bringing a compulsion to pursue your desires and ambitions in a deep, transformative way, and calling for the balance of the feminine and masculine energies within you.
Pisces season begins on the 18, foregrounding sensitivity, empathy, and intuition. The month concludes with Mercury square Uranus on the 25, infusing electricity into the day with the possibility of flashes of insights and new phenomena.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Happy birthday, Aquarius! It’s time to take stock of what’s really going on with you. Although much of your essence has to do with collective concerns, your first duty is to yourself this month. What do you need to recharge yourself for the rest of the year? How do you want to express yourself? Think about this on the New Moon in your sign the first of the month. With Venus and Mars still in Capricorn, you are still valuing solitude and spirituality and feeling like you have a lot to give in your relationships. But don’t be surprised if you’re feeling frustrated in these areas, especially when Venus and Mars form a conjunction on the 16. With the Full Moon in Leo the same day, release anything that’s not serving you in your relationships.
