The harsh winter conditions have now begun to show themselves. The Sun is in Aquarius, directly opposite Leo, where it is strong, and therefore in a weaker position. Since the Sun represents our life energy in astrology, this period tends to bring a slight drop in our vitality. It is also a challenging time for authority figures, as the Sun symbolizes leadership, prestige, and power, which may require more effort to maintain during this phase.
On the bright side, with the emphasis on Aquarius increasing, many planets will be traveling through this sign. This suggests a period of shifting thoughts and ideas, a stronger focus on democracy, support for activist movements, and significant discoveries related to space. The wavy lines in Aquarius’ symbol are associated with the air element and represent thoughts and ideas. Some also interpret these waves as a reference to the snake, which symbolizes wisdom and transformation. These concepts relate to higher intelligence and human rationality. This period also highlights telepathic communication, satellite broadcasts, and radio waves. February is expected to be a month where technology takes center stage, with surprising and electrifying developments. Additionally, decision-making will be more influenced by logic than emotions.
The Aquarius period continues until February 19, after which the Sun will move into Pisces, marking the beginning of Pisces season. I have also detailed the Aquarius New Moon on February 10 and the Virgo Full Moon on February 24 for you. Happy reading! 😊

The following chart has been created based on our capital, Ankara. The New Moon is a time when we plant new seeds in our lives. Generally, we begin to see developments with the Full Moon, which occurs 14 days later. In the New Moon chart, Scorpio, a fixed sign, is rising. Scorpio is associated with crises, payments, and shared resources. Financial matters, payments, loans, and crisis management will be on the agenda.
Although the ruling planet of the ascendant, Mars, is in a strong position in Capricorn, it is now at the anaretic degree, meaning it is at the final degrees of the sign. On February 13, it will transition into Aquarius, signaling important changes. When Mars moves from one sign to another, it indicates the activation of significant actions and a shift in circumstances. This will especially highlight matters related to news, education, close surroundings, neighbors, siblings, and travel. The positive aspect between Mars and Neptune supports us in overcoming our egos in family and close relationships, encouraging us to direct our energy toward spiritual matters. If we channel our energy into these areas, we will experience more harmony in our relationships during this period. However, we must act quickly, as Mars will change signs on February 13.
The close transit of Mars and Venus in Capricorn and their positive aspect with Uranus in the first week of February highlight masculine and feminine energies. We may make surprising decisions in relationships, and the cosmos supports us in taking relationships to the next level. The first week of February is a great time to resolve existing issues in partnerships.
The New Moon occurs at 20 degrees of Aquarius, drawing attention to financial matters, payments, and crises. Four planets—Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Pluto—are in Aquarius. With Mars also entering Aquarius on February 13, the presence of five planets in this sign will be striking. The increased emphasis on the air element indicates significant shifts in thoughts and ideas. This will accelerate developments related to electricity, electronics, scientific advancements, and freedom of thought and expression. The actions of authority figures and international news will be particularly noteworthy.
The New Moon’s harsh aspect with its modern ruler, Uranus, suggests sudden developments and major changes over the next 14 days. We may feel the urge to rebel against the status quo. Adapting to a new order might be challenging, but if we communicate carefully and control our words, we will benefit. Although the New Moon has a difficult aspect with Uranus, the harmonious bridge between Saturn and Jupiter, as well as the positive trine between Venus and Uranus, will bring positive developments into our lives. In February, we must remember that the only constant is change. Instead of resisting change, we should make space for it.
The approaching square between Mercury and Jupiter warns against exaggerated and arrogant communication, urging caution in commercial matters. Travel and education-related expenses may also increase during this period.
During this New Moon, we may feel an increase in telepathic communication, as Aquarius is associated with telepathy. For those practicing Reiki Level 2 and above, working with the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol for telepathic communication and empathy will be highly beneficial during this time. This New Moon also forms a positive aspect with the solar eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023, meaning that any matters initiated back then may now see rapid progress.
The New Moon at 20 degrees of Aquarius will be in conjunction with the fixed star Castra, which is associated with climate changes and significant storms at sea. Additionally, the harsh square between Mercury and Jupiter in the chart signals strong winds and storms, as well as important political shifts.
On February 14, Mars and Pluto will meet at 0 degrees of Aquarius. This marks a significant turning point, potentially triggering collective and mass movements.
On February 17, the Mercury-Uranus square will draw attention to developments related to electricity, electronics, the internet, aviation, and railways. On the same day, Venus will enter Aquarius and form a conjunction with Pluto at 0 degrees, signaling critical times for relationships and diplomacy. A sharp divide between the past and the future is forming, with karmic remnants becoming more evident in our thoughts. This is a period of moving away from outdated structures and embracing a more reformist and innovative approach in relationships.
On February 19, as the Sun enters Pisces, we step into a phase of fated themes. Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, is deeply connected to destiny and the divine. Now, we surrender to the belief that whatever happens is for the best. Forgiveness and compassion will be key themes.
On February 22, Venus and Mars will meet in Aquarius, emphasizing the balance between masculine and feminine energies. Relationships will take on a more free-spirited and friendly tone, with individuality becoming more prominent.
On February 23, Mercury will enter Pisces. Since Pisces is opposite Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury, this placement weakens Mercury’s analytical abilities but enhances spiritual expression. This will support artistic endeavors and provide inspiration for songwriters and composers. With Jupiter’s influence, creative projects will thrive.
We will close the month with the Virgo Full Moon on February 24.
In the Full Moon chart, Leo is rising. Leo is associated with children, artists, and leaders. In financial astrology, it relates to speculative areas, suggesting that these themes will take center stage. The Sun, ruler of Leo, is in a position where it does not aspect the ascendant and is moving toward a conjunction with Saturn. This suggests withdrawal and limitations. The Full Moon in Virgo will oppose Saturn, highlighting financial concerns and potential increases in healthcare expenses. We may receive significant news in these areas.
The fact that Mercury, the ruler of the Full Moon, is combust and its house placement draws attention to health matters. This period warns us to strengthen our immune systems. In medical astrology, Pisces is associated with the immune system, and during this time, cold-related illnesses tend to increase. Aquarius and Pisces govern the lower body, including the legs, calves, feet, and ankles.
Additionally, Pluto’s placement in an angular house and the approaching square between Mars, Venus, and Jupiter point to excessive financial risks and difficulties. However, the positive aspects of the Moon with Jupiter and Uranus indicate financial support. Despite challenges, the support of Jupiter to Mercury and the Sun brings hope. There may be relief regarding payments, debts, and inheritances, with positive news coming in these areas. The Virgo Full Moon will form a positive aspect at 5 degrees, aligning with the lunar eclipse that occurred on October 28, 2023, at 5 degrees of Taurus. This suggests that new legislative decisions may emerge.
On February 27, the Mars-Jupiter square will encourage impulsive and reckless actions, leading to scattered energy. This aspect warns us to be cautious with high-risk matters and to improve our focus.
On February 29, the exact conjunction of the Sun and Saturn will bring new authority figures and responsibilities into focus. On the same day, the positive aspect between Mercury and Jupiter will highlight positive developments in education, travel, and commercial matters.
Stay with love. 💙
