The planets are always in motion, and in February, Saturn is moving out of Pisces and into Aries, and will stay in Aries until 2028.  Now is the time to build yourself up and find a strong foundation within yourself. Ambition, confidence and assuredness is what you should seek in this time. Keep reading for more tailored advice for the month ahead. 

Aries: March 21 – April 19

Aries is a fire sign, characterized by fiery, passionate and strong spirits. In February, Aries should reduce this fire to a hotbed of coals, just as hot as a flame but more sustainable. Slow down and admit your limitations. The semester is heating up, and it is ok to admit you are too busy for that social gathering. Prioritize yourself, keep your head down and keep at it. Have a spa night by yourself. 

Taurus: April 20 – May 20

Taurus is an Earth sign, symbolized by the bull, strong, stable and steady. Great for the people around you, but can become stagnating for Taurus. February can bring feelings of loneliness or boredom. It is ok to spend time with yourself this month, but do not get lost! Stay connected to yourself and your social network, do not give in to the ennui and try a new hobby.

Gemini: May 21 – June 21

Gemini is an air sign, signaling fluidity, wittiness and extreme adaptability. While Gemini uses these characteristics to make friends, be cautious of people trying to cozy up to you this month. While having a social circle, whether big or small, is fulfilling for you, be choosy with those you get close to and it will serve you well. Remove yourself from those group chats. 

Cancer: June 22 – July 22

Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon. While this can translate to heightened sensitivity, it also means that Cancer is incredibly tuned in to themselves and others. Use this introspection to your advantage this month. Build a schedule, seek structure, pursue your passions seriously and keep your future self front-of-mind. Start a home design Pinterest board.

Leo: July 23 – August 22

Leo is the second fire sign, but Leo never accepts second place. Redirect this pride to your own interests and pursue them relentlessly. In February, listen to the curious voices in your head and cater to them. You yearn to intellectualize everything this month. Do not ignore this temptation, and try to pursue these intellectual interests outside of school or work. Watch a 13-hour long video essay. 

Virgo: August 23 – September 22

Virgo is an earth sign, as grounded as Taurus, but more interested in order and practicality. While you may find peace in your routine, February is the time to explore what is new and different. Don’t upend your life or relationships, but take the month to seriously consider if you make connections and commitments because they serve you, or because they serve the comfort and safety of routine. Spend a day tech-free.

Libra: September 23 – October 23

Libra is an air sign, but their fluidity is more dichotomous. Libra is balanced, diplomatic and will often think deeply before they speak or act. Sometimes, this interest in diplomacy can lull into complacency or submission. This month, be diplomatic for yourself. Consider if the treatment you are receiving is fair to you. If you find it is not, then do something about it. Make a passive-aggressive public playlist. 

Scorpio: October 24 – November 21

Scorpio is a water sign, and like water, can be as gentle as a babbling brook or as abrasive as a pressure washer. If you find yourself fatigued by the brook this month, do not hesitate to become the pressure washer. Do what you need to do and nothing more, you have done more than enough already. Do not grow complacent, but be satisfied with the work you have put in and defend it with feeling. Get yourself some ice cream with sprinkles. 

Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21

Sagittarius is a fire sign, and their fiery nature manifests in zeal for life and unbridled joy. February will challenge this feeling of joy, and serve as a reminder that sometimes it is ok to not be the bubbly go-getter that you are. Remember what it is like to feel other emotions, and let yourself feel them fully. Then, return to joy with sincerity. Watch a trashy reality show.

Capricorn: December 22 – January 19

Capricorn is an earth sign, hallmarked by their stoic persistence. Determination and passion are synonymous for Capricorn, but let this determination be directed at self-discovery rather than academic or professional excellence. Self-discipline is out, and stability is in. Let go of the deadlines (within reason, of course) and try to focus on building a comfortable, easy routine. Meal-prep your breakfast, nothing too healthy though. 

Aquarius: January 20 – February 18

Aquarius is, ironically, an air sign. The air that Aquarius breaths can be exhaled in spitfire or in sweet nothings, with little between the two. Though you may want to explain yourself in February, it is best if you keep these explanations to yourself. The only people who will understand you are those who you have let in. Focus on those relationships, and start a daily journal to all those who just do not get you.

Pisces: February 19 – March 20

Pisces is a water sign, empathetic and creative, dedicated to their passions and selfless in their actions. As Saturn enters Aries, you are allowed to focus on your own ambitions and desires instead of helping others. Ask for help from those you have helped in the past. It is not about getting even in February, but about seeking support if and when you need it. Find a heavy and/or unwieldy item and see who will help you move it into your 5th-floor apartment.
