Yahoo Lifestyle What Each Sign Can Expect From This 'Passionate' February, Per An Astrologer
February has long been a month associated with candy hearts and rose bouquets, but this year, love is really in the air—or, well, the stars. Astrologically speaking, this month will bring plot twists in the form of exciting romance, surprising connections with old friends or lovers, and dreamy, heartfelt conversations.
First up, Venus, the planet of love and desire, moves into fiery Aries on February 4, setting the tone for passion, decisiveness, and a no-nonsense attitude in relationships. “Venus in Aries knows what she wants, and she takes it,” says Donna Page, an Atlanta-based astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology. This energy could bring excitement to dating or your relationships—or, a potential sense of tension if you and your partner(s) aren’t aligned.
Meanwhile, Jupiter—the planet of growth and expansion—goes direct in Gemini on the same day, shifting the collective focus toward big ideas, future possibilities, and a desire to take action, says Page. Combined, these two shifts will force you to look ahead and really interrogate which relationships (and facets of your life) are working well for you right now.
The full moon in Leo on February 12 adds an extra layer of intensity. Emotions will be heightened, and sudden revelations could shake things up. As the month progresses, the energy softens when the sun moves into Pisces on February 18, ushering in a period of intuition, and deep emotional reflection. Mercury, the planet of communication, also moves into Pisces on Valentine’s Day, bringing dreamy, heartfelt conversations in love. By the new moon in Pisces on February 27, there’s a shift toward renewal and surrender—what’s meant for you will flow naturally.
Curious about how this energy will play out for your sign, specifically? Ahead, Page breaks it down.
