February opens the celestial skies in an ultimate planetary rebellion of love. The cosmic line-up is electric, awakening both courage and tenderness as we step into a month of soulful pleasure to rewrite dreams for the future.
Full Moon Leo (fixed fire) on 2nd February @ 9:09am AEDT. This radiant full moon illuminates the path of creative self-expression and heart-felt sharing. With the Sun (passionate life-force) and Venus (love & relationships) in the fixed air sign of Aquarius, love becomes radical and visionary. This celestial combination includes the asteroid Vesta (spiritual devotion) igniting the dynamic Mars (motivation & action) in a determined love that refuses to be tamed in the bold declaration of authenticity and personal freedom.
Let love be the rebellion.
This is a cosmic invitation to expand your heart through conscious connection with those you cherish. Choose presence over drama, especially with the full moon and fiery Mars stirring the emotional waters. Somatic movement with dancing and embodied play will help release stagnant energy and restore balance between the body, heart and mind. With the playful magic of Leo, laughter truly becomes the alchemical medicine.

Uranus, the modern ruler of Aquarius stations direct on 4th February. Uranus is the innovative planetary force behind transformation and awakening. A potent threshold moment to remind us the future of community depends on conscious collective awareness. We are living in a profound era of social transformation. An era that calls us to dismantle outdated conditioning and co-create sustainable, heart-centred systems rooted in love and respect for the Earth.
Saturn enters Aries on 14th February. A rare and sacred moment unfolds as Saturn crosses the zodiacal threshold from Pisces (mutable water) into Aries (cardinal fire) and joins forces with Neptune. This powerfulconjunction ignites a whole new cycle. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, awakens the inner fire of determination and initiation, while Saturn offers wise guidance and Neptune dissolves fear and illusion through transpersonal love. This is a once-in-a-lifetime conjunction ushering in a new era of spiritual autonomy, embodied vision and courageous compassion.
The pages are turning, and a new exciting chapter is about to be written.
From mid-February, Venus reappears as the Evening Star, shimmering on the eastern horizon after sunset. This is a truly sublime initiation into beauty and sensual nourishment with Venus in Pisces (mutable water). A moment to surrender into pleasure as a prayer of devotion. To find a quiet sanctuary and sip ceremonial tea, soften your breath, and allow creativity to flow without expectation.

Year of the Fire Horse & Solar Eclipse / New Moon on 17th February @ 11:01pm AEDT. This is a unique start of the eclipse season as it falls on the Chinese Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse. The solar eclipse in Aquarius (fixed air) is a cosmic love letter calling you to rebel gently, love consciously and live courageously. Remember to nourish the body and mind with deep rest and somatic movement to help integrate these high-frequency energies with intentions for transformation and renewal.
Sun enters Pisces (mutable water) on 19th February. We soften into the solar rhythms of nature and the closing chapter of the astrological year. Pisces, ruled by the modern planet Neptune, opens mystical consciousness, compassion and the vast ocean of transpersonal love. Contemplate water as the source of all life which carries memory, healing and clarity. Allow its wisdom to guide you toward peacefulness and soulful directions with the rest of humanity.

Mercury stations retrograde on 26th February. This is an invitation over the next few weeks to slow down, reflect, and lovingly revise your intentions. A powerful time to journal and rewrite your dreams with fierce kindness rather than force. Let your inner vision clarify what it is you wish to connect with and allow the divine intelligence to move through you.
