YOUR FEBRUARY FALLBACK FORECAST:
Can we tone down the theatrics a bit? As February commences, the remnants of the January 31 Leo total lunar eclipse might still be echoing within you. That intense moonlight spotlighted your realm of passion, creativity, and self-expression, leading to an emotional whirlwind. Given that eclipses have a knack for causing abrupt shifts, it might take you a moment to regain your equilibrium. And that’s assuming you do! With Mars, positioned in adventurous Sagittarius and influencing your expansive ninth house throughout the month, there’s a risk of getting lost in big dreams. It’s essential to remember not to confuse enthusiastic gestures with concrete commitments. And perhaps, due to some unforeseen limelight, it might feel like everyone’s suddenly familiar with you.
February kicks off with a confident stride, and that’s quite the positive start. Perhaps experience some time in the spotlight, or have a moment where you bare your soul with a startling revelation. With Leo governing your romantic sector, you may feel love’s touch ahead of schedule due to the eclipse.
FALLBACK, it might be wise to take a breather for your own peace of mind. February offers a moment to reflect on the recent tumultuous events in your life. Fortunately, with the Sun in Aquarius until February 18, it emphasizes your eleventh house of detachment and collective endeavors. Consider distancing yourself from intense scenarios. Seek counsel from friends (but remember to be considerate!). Channel your vigor into a purpose greater than your own desires.
Where January was centered on you, February shifts the focus outward, emphasizing relationships and connections. Steer clear of chaos and lean into group gatherings, fostering new bonds and community engagement. Utilize your leadership prowess in collaborative projects, particularly those with a political or humanitarian bent. Harness the momentum from the post-eclipse phase to enhance your digital footprint this month. Considering starting a website, podcast, or YouTube channel? Amplify your unique touch by selecting the ideal online medium.
While February continues to be part of the eclipse season, with a partial solar eclipse appearing mid-month (more details to come), it’s noteworthy for having no full moons. January’s double full moon spectacle partly explains its chaotic energy. This implies that clarity on certain matters might only emerge around March 1, with the advent of the next full moon. This is particularly the case for events connected to love, the possibility of pregnancy, or creative pursuits. In the interim, patience is key, allowing things to progress at their own pace. Waiting might not be your strong suit, but at least February is the shortest month of the year!
Come February 15, the new moon in Aquarius makes its presence felt, accompanied by a partial solar eclipse in your eleventh house of collaboration and high ideals. This serves as a significant nudge to solidify your position within a team or to formalize an innovative partnership. Align with those who resonate with your vision and principles—then set out to make a difference in the world. Your challenge: How can you channel the Leo-driven energy from January’s eclipse towards a more significant purpose? Let your talents uplift others, or offer your skills freely to a charitable organization. FALLBACK, you have value to add—seek the right platform to do so.
The new moon on February 15 also heralds the Chinese New Year. (Happy New Year or Gung Hay Fat Choy!) As we transition into the Year of the Earth Dog, themes of fidelity and seeking your tribe align seamlessly with the community-focused Aquarius new moon. So, FALLBACK, take the lead with confidence. Yet, if you’re inclined towards a subtler role, remember, every member has its significance in the tribe! Avoid conforming to an identity that isn’t genuine to you. After all, you wouldn’t expect a teacup Yorkie to act like a Great Dane. Embrace and apply your innate capabilities confidently. With the unique energy of Uranus lingering for just a bit longer, see it as cosmic encouragement to fully embrace and wield your power.
Did you assume we overlooked Valentine’s Day? Think again! However, the celestial happenings on February 14 are relatively subdued, with the moon in its low-energy “balsamic” phase (just before becoming new). With the moon residing in Aquarius, you’re more inclined towards a laid-back gathering with friends, sidestepping the typical romantic clichés.
There’s still hope! With Romantic Venus nestled in Pisces and illuminating your dreamy twelfth house on Valentine’s Day, you have the option to cozy up with your loved one at home or organize an intimate dinner with close friends. However, don’t feel pressured to be the life of the party. If you’re open to postponing the festivities, consider blending them with a Chinese New Year celebration or make the following weekend special. With adventurous Mars in your expansive ninth house throughout the month, you’re itching to explore. Dive into apps like Hotel Tonight or check out deals on Groupon. You may stumble upon a delightful treat, perhaps a couple’s massage? Grab your favorite companion and head out, or if you’re single, gather your friends and embark on a memorable adventure.
Starting February 18, you’ll be in the mood for refreshing retreats as the Sun shifts into Pisces for the upcoming month. With the presence of tender Venus, imaginative Neptune, and therapeutic Chiron also in Pisces, the remainder of February seems tailor-made for either deeply moving journeys or introspective downtime. This period marks a phase for you to let go of the past and gear up for what’s coming next. If you’re feeling restless, initiate a search for travel opportunities, regardless of the season. With diligent exploration, you’re bound to discover an option that fits your budget and soothes your spirit.
Eclipses often resonate for about a month, so as February draws to a close, you may experience another significant moment or possibly find closure to an intense emotional scenario initiated by the January 31 Leo eclipse. With some time and space since the event, you’re better positioned to approach matters with more stability. Maybe your enthusiasm was overly intense, verging on the desperate, in the previous month. Revisit the situation now, maintaining your self-respect. Brace yourself, for March is set to begin with a roar, ushering in with a full moon on its initial day. Clarity is on the horizon—just be patient!
LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS FORECAST:
Did Valentine’s sentiments catch you ahead of time, FALLBACK? It seems Cupid might have been a tad premature with his affections during the Leo lunar eclipse on January 31, which stirred your fifth house of love and romance. Ideally, that fervor remains vibrant by February 14, the day designated for nationwide romantic celebrations. But if the flames have dimmed, it’s no big deal. Rally your unattached pals for a fun-filled day! Alternatively, embrace another aspect of the fifth house — your inherent creativity. Listen to your inner muse and let her guide your artistic endeavors.
If February 14 doesn’t meet your expectations, don’t lose heart. With Neptune and Venus aligning on February 21, there’s a wonderful opportunity to either rekindle the spark with your loved one or introduce a new romantic prospect into the mix. The Friday and Saturday following Valentine’s Day, which is on a Wednesday, also hold promise. The moon and Venus, both gracing your realm of enchanting getaways, suggest delightful moments ahead.
Earlier in February, with Venus—the planet of love—making its journey through sociable Aquarius, your attention will be geared towards friendships, collective events, and a collaborative endeavor at your workplace. However, as soon as Venus transitions into Pisces and graces your twelfth house of introspection and dreams (from February 10 to March 6), you might become more reserved and introspective. Emotions will be heightened, and if you’re single, you might find yourself yearning for companionship. Those in relationships will seek a more profound bond. A heads-up: The onus might be on YOU to pave the way. Open the conversation, but ensure you don’t inundate your significant other!
With the energetic Mars in Sagittarius dominating your ninth house of travel desires throughout the month, stay alert for spontaneous getaway chances. If your go-to travel buddy can synchronize schedules, that’s a bonus. Venturing out on your own? Bring along what makes you feel most confident. You might find company sooner than you think!
February might serve up a few hard truths, particularly on February 4 and 25, when the amiable Venus finds itself in a challenging square with the overly hopeful Jupiter, followed by an impulsive Mars. If you acted hastily, now might be the time for damage control. Avoid harboring resentment or assigning fault—simply bow out gracefully. In the future, take a more measured approach!
MONEY & CAREER FORECAST:
February is all about strategic risks for you. Guided by the audacious Mars in Sagittarius, it anchors itself in your adventurous ninth house throughout the month. This stirs up a desire to venture out and explore uncharted waters. Be it a personal development seminar, a budding business, or a challenge way beyond your usual realm, your approach is to leap first and strategize later. The presence of Mars could induce a strong sense of FOMO, making every opportunity too enticing to resist. You just don’t want to let any chance slip by!
Wait a moment, FALLBACK. The authoritative Saturn has settled in Capricorn for the upcoming three years, urging caution in your tenth house of long-term goals. Remember, this is more of a marathon than a fleeting race. You might be eager for a quick win, but Saturn encourages you to strategize and pace yourself, rather than dash impulsively.
This month, consider the value of patience without losing your momentum. You’re on a larger journey, so by laying a solid foundation for your aspirations, you’ll truly thrive. Engage with mentors or consider coaching to refine your strategies. Even though you might yearn for immediate recognition or fear that enthusiasm will wane if things don’t progress rapidly, in the long run, you’ll appreciate the wisdom of a measured pace.
Moreover, on February 15, the scene might get a shake-up as the partial solar eclipse in Aquarius energizes your eleventh house of collaboration and technology. Unexpected online and face-to-face interactions could intensify suddenly, evolving into something more significant than you anticipated. Although the full scope may become clear over six months, remain receptive to fresh partnerships around mid-month.
A strong signal to pace yourself comes on February 17, when Mars is in your eager ninth house, facing a challenging angle with elusive Neptune. Overconfidence and unrealistic aspirations could mislead you. Be cautious with commitments today; while you might be tempted to take the lead and save the day, you could be overextending yourself. With Neptune’s vague influence, there’s a risk of neglecting details and acting purely on impulse. This moment calls for thorough analysis rather than blind intuition.
As Pisces season commences on February 18 and lasts for a month, it’s perfectly reasonable to postpone significant decisions for four weeks if you’re uncertain about future outcomes. Remember, timing is crucial—especially this February, FALLBACK!
IMPORTANT TRANSIT DATES:
February 4: Venus-Jupiter Confrontation
Today you might find yourself torn between diving deep or holding back. The vast energy of Jupiter clashes with the romantic vibes of Venus, tempting you to make significant shifts. However, this surge of emotion is fleeting. It’s perhaps best to neither fully commit nor abruptly distance yourself—simply let it flow.
February 10: Sun-Jupiter Confrontation
Be cautious of someone who appears to be a team player but has self-centered motives. Given the celestial tensions, you could face power dynamics or financial disagreements. It might be challenging to unite everyone’s viewpoints, so it’s best not to exhaust yourself attempting to. Reserve your efforts for a time when the atmosphere is more harmonious.
