February begins with the Sun in Aquarius and ends with Pisces. This month brings us St. Valentine’s Day, which can be both a blessing for many and a source of frustration for others. Rather than sit back and wait for things to happen, let’s take advantage of the astrological aspects and make February more harmonious and fun. Whether you have a partner or are single, you can still embrace the vibrations of love, the elements associated with the two Sun signs of this month.
February 2023 Monthly Astrological Forecast
As the month begins with the Sun in Aquarius, take this period to explore new ways to spruce up things in your life, specifically if you are in a relationship. Avoid getting bogged down with things that bring you stress or limit your creative energy. Aquarius, which Uranus rules, allows us to rethink old ways of doing things. Use your imagination and allow yourself to experiment with ideas outside your usual way of doing things.
For those in a relationship, do something different than you usually do with your partner, such as surprise them with flowers on a random day or write a love letter and place it in their pant pocket or handbag; again, use your imagination to spice up your relationship. For the single person, take yourself out to dinner or a movie. Enjoy something random that you usually don’t do alone. Remember that Aquarius's energy is light, uncomplicated, and fun-loving, which means there is no need to go overboard.
On February 19, the Sun enters Pisces bringing us a cycle that can be both fun and frustrating. Pisces, a sign of duality, can be, at times, difficult to manage because of its mutable aspects that keep things constantly fluctuating. In addition to the mutable sign of Pisces, there is Mars in Gemini, also a mutable sign.
The combination of mutable signs can be problematic since we may need to learn how to adjust to situations. On the other hand, change teaches us to be adaptable, which allows us to cope and manage. In relationships, change can make some of us feel insecure and unsure about the future; on the other hand, it keeps things exciting and fresh.
Sun in Pisces is mutable, which means it can morph into any scenario you desire. The Sun in Pisces can be packed with romantic adventures and quiet tenderness that feeds the soul. During this period, the romance you dream about is yours if you want it, so go ahead and book a romantic getaway, take a walk in the park, or cuddle at home as you binge watch your favorite show. Break away from the typical and let your romantic imagination take flight.
In addition to the Sun sign Aquarius and Pisces, this month’s planetary transits consist of the following:
- Full Moon in Leo
- Mercury begins in Capricorn, then enters Aquarius on February 12
- Venus in Pisces
- Mars in Gemini
We shall review the aspects of their general influence before diving into the specific Sun signs. Always remember that regardless of the challenges, there are ways to navigate and improve situations which is why I have also included the best dates for taking specific actions.
Love Aspects as Influenced by the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Sun Signs Transits
Full Snow Moon in Leo – February 5, 2023
The sign of Leo is a Fire sign, which is ruled by the Sun. The Sun and Moon combination gives us extra energy and endurance to feel stronger and more focused. This month’s full month in Leo fills us with the energy to feel confident and comfortable in our skin. This is a good moon to focus on self-care, enjoying the little things, and treating ourselves well. Too many of us neglect ourselves, and this moon provides the right energy to take some time to replenish ourselves.
Moon ritual: Using a pink candle and pink quartz, meditate on self-care.
Mercury in Aquarius – Beginning February 11, 2023
Communication during Mercury in Aquarius will be exciting and often loaded with hints of flirtation and wit. The cleverness of Mercury coupled with Aquarius will open up the doors to fun topics and endless moments of banter. You will find yourself comfortable expressing ideas and sharing your opinions with others. Regarding relationships, you will enjoy exchanging ideas and views with strangers and people you know. Wonderful time to meet new people if you are single or have romantic dates with your partner.
Venus in Pisces
We begin February with Venus in Pisces, which provides us with an overall feeling of compassion and connection to others. We often desire to be involved or at least connected to others during this period. We may not necessarily be ready for commitment, yet we crave romantic or platonic relationships. For those involved, you will want to spend more time with your partner even if all you do is watch TV together and nothing else. For those who are single, you may spend more time with friends or at least become available to connect with others. Venus in Pisces can bring out the lover and romantic in you, but it can also make you a bit more vulnerable than usual, so make sure to pace yourself. Overall, it’s an excellent time to plan romantic dates.
Mars in Gemini
The February Sun in Aquarius creates a trine to Mars in Gemini, creating a blend of mental clarity and energy. You may be able to write or express yourself clearly in confrontational situations. It is a great cycle to activate creativity and propel them forward. The key to maximizing this aspect is to stay organized and avoid distractions; otherwise, you will be packed with ideas and nothing to show for it. In terms of romantic relationships, it allows you to express your feelings with ease. It also adds more fun and spice to your love routine. And if you are single, it is an exciting time to meet new people and have fun socializing.
