Your Sign's 2021 February Horoscope
“Love - Is the great work - Though every heart is first an - Apprentice
”
We kick off Black History Month and LOVE (some call this Valentine’s Day) month with intimacy loving Venus entering cerebral Aquarius (Ven 0 Aqu 00'). Those that are partnered will find connection and deepen their relationships this month through intimate discussion around social issues. We are all craving a psychic connection this month but also feeling a distinct need to not to get so lost in another person’s psychee, that we fail to be a part of our own experience. Whether you’re single and partnered you may find yourself feeling a little more independent this month. Make sure to make time for yourself and your needs so that you don’t feel smothered or neglected by any outside forces. Remember your first relationship is with yourself. Take advantage of a chance to develop a healthier understanding of your ego and your inner witness this month when Chiron in Aries (TNo 18 Gem 12' quintile Chi 6 Ari 12') will have you relaxing strong emotions, finding peace and purpose around embracing your humanity. Try meditation or mindfulness-start small just a few minutes or breathing and noticing your body and your mind can have a big impact.
The new moon in Aquarius will send us deep into our thoughts. Notice the part of you that is noticing your experience as you walk through your day. What part of you is experiencing the moment, what part is thinking, feeling? Practicing this will be especially important this month as a balm for any miscommunications and trouble we may encounter as a result of Mercury in retrograde. It might be a good idea to plan ahead if you’re doing something for V-Day, so that there are clear expectations. (On the 20th Mercury will go direct and we will find transitions and spontaneous actions seem to go smoother.)
Saturn squares Uranus this month increasing tensions around what is no longer working in your life and in society at large, Radical Aquarius in Saturn, planet of purpose and accomplishments is pushing for social, cultural, and economic change and slow Taurus in Uranus is dragging their feet the whole way. This means that if something isn’t working in your love life, at work, or in your thought patterns it will be especially difficult to deal with this month. Instead of pushing it aside to deal with later, reshape your thinking, seek advice from others, explore alternate opinions and ways of thinking, how are others approaching this problem. Keep this in mind on the 19th when sparks will fly as Mars and Venus oppose. What results has the power to separate and sever ties or bring people closer together. We are not our habits or our traditions. We are experiencing our habits and traditions. We have the power to shape our experience. Saturn in Aquarius urges a light hand in discipline; seeks out ways to foster potential growth.
On the 18th we enter into Pisces season and delve deeper into vision for our futures and get in touch with what really matters to us as emotional and psychological beings. And on the 25th that flow of Pisces energy enters Venus, home of our relationships and the way we seek connection with the world and each other. Reconnect with your sense of romance. What makes you feel loved? What makes you fall in love? What feels ideal to you? It’s okay for what feels good and what doesn’t to change. You are not a static being. The full moon in Virgo will have us making good on our relationship goals and our expectations for ourselves.
