February is the final stretch of colder weather here in Tokyo, right before the renaissance of springtime. The temperature isn’t the only thing about to undergo a dramatic shift, though – action planet Mars has been retrograde since early December, and it’ll go direct on February 24, slingshotting us into an astrologically significant period. With both a solar and lunar eclipse in March 2025, February will be best spent mentally preparing for possible upheaval.
That isn’t to say there will be no action in February, though. Between Valentine’s Day and the last breath of cuffing season, February is truly the month of love. On February 4, romantic Venus enters spicy Aries and lucky Jupiter goes direct, revamping our love lives and allowing us to liberally indulge our more spontaneous and audacious tendencies. Adding to the fiery vibes, we also have a full moon in bold Leo on February 12, igniting our zest for life.
We’ll have a dreamy second half of the month, as chatty Mercury enters creative Pisces on Valentine’s Day, and we’ll swim into Pisces season on the 18th. Indulge your creative whimsies and be playful. Whether you have a romantic interest or not, let yourself see life through rose-colored glasses. Write poetry, sing in the rain and get your cuddles in — it’s going to be spring before you know it.
Keep reading below for your sign’s monthly horoscope, and make sure to check both your sun and rising signs.
