Shake out your woven rugs and pop open the shutters: February’s cosmic medicine wants us available for the entirety, content to welcome the chilly weather. After January’s deep waters of self renewal, it’s a light bright vibe for leaping into the arms of our whole selves, content to both know our natures and to let that knowing lead to change. 

With the Aquarius Sun electrifying the landscape, the atmosphere preps us for seeing beyond a doubt. What instincts have you been honing? What sense of things feels overwhelmingly true? Forget the need to prove your moves with backup math and stand your ground. After a lifetime spent walking the earth that only you could have traveled, what do you know about your particular pas de deux

Accompanied by pleasure seeker Venus in the ignition switch sign of Aries, and Mercury stationing retrograde in Pisces, it’s a magic month for incubating the seed of the new with compassionate curiosity. You don’t have to be entirely “done” with it. You don’t have to be either fully fixed to forge ahead or frozen in time. Can you let it all in instead, content to initiate epic beginnings alongside the swirl of the old?

So leave the medicine cabinet ajar and your cards on the table. February wants you clean and clear, in full possession of the hand you’ve got so you can bet high on the self you’re already becoming.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

In the Stars: Your birthday month wants to trick you out in all the sparkles, precious Aquarius, but rather than a race to collect your crown, this is a deliciously languid shimmy towards the throne that’s already yours. What can you learn about your worth by slowing your scramble to a steady strut? 

In Your Space: Rid your lair of to-do lists and re-create your space as a competently comfy country getaway, swapping digital for grandfather clocks and throwaway pieces for vintage finds

Pisces & Pisces Rising

In the Stars: It’s a month for soul-shaped goals, dear Pisces, as you consider what efforts are already tailor-fit to your very spirit. There’s something you do so well it feels like dancing. Leave the epic pushes to become other than what you are behind, and step seamlessly into your pre-existing expertise. 

In Your Space: Even if you’re not a born interior architect, there’s still an element of design where you already excel. Whether it’s color, texture, or end table flair, take this month to celebrate your aesthetic skill set.

Aries & Aries Rising

In the Stars: Sometimes you get lost in a sea of doing, Aries, believing that you must constantly birth yourself into being through courageous acts of “here-ness.” February beckons you into something far more subtle; treat the month like a treasured object that wants to be held in secret sweetness. 

In Your Space: Let your lair feel like a tucked-in chest of interior knowings. Experiment with diary style locks and keys, shrouded nooks, and nesting boxes that incubate your sense of privacy

Taurus & Taurus Rising

In the Stars: When was the last time you simply let yourself wonder and wander, Taurus? With February’s energies beckoning you beyond the tangible, it’s prime time to swap the merely pragmatic for some more philosophical pastures, rediscovering your “why” by asking the question in the first place. 

In Your Space: Let your space become a kind of think tank, content to temporarily paper walls with torn-out bits of inspo, and let book stacks serve as makeshift coffee tables, allowing professorial aesthetics to shape your lair.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

In the Stars: February turns up the burners on your life force. Don’t be afraid of the frictional buzz of things; remember that creation comes from contrasting energies and embrace a little emo earthquake to uplift the diamonds you deserve. 

In Your Space: If your home were a hairstyle, this month it’d be beachy waves. Let your lair feel like a beautifully messy play space, with your toys left out on the floor and in process, allowing an undone approach to birth creative possibilities.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

In the Stars: In the depths of winter, February wants you to re-capture your flame, Cancer. What is lighting you up and turning you on, even amidst the ice rain that sometimes rages outside your window? This is a rich golden opportunity to become your own source, sweet one. So strike a match in a darkened room and break out the marshmallows. 

In Your Space: Model your whole pad after a heart-warming hearth, plumping up your living quarters with floor pillows, pillar candles, and baskets of kindling, remembering that your central glow springs from the inside out.

Leo & Leo Rising

In the Stars: February is a ripe opportunity to notice some entrenched patterning, Leo, as you bring attention to the thought cycles that appear to rule you without your permission. It’s a sweet invite to shift the authority, swapping shame spirals for softness and reclaiming your self-sufficiency. 

In Your Space: Let your lair feel clean and clear, devoid of any of the usual clutter that trips you up. Invest in beautiful containers and stowaway trunks, content to compartmentalize with consciousness and style.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

In the Stars: Like a deliciously spent lover after a long weekend, February wants you satiated and serene in your sensual choices, Virgo, calling the shots from the core of your carnality. Remember that you are the arbiter of your appetites, and get back to cooking up the pleasure platter that’s piled high with personal passion.  

In Your Space: Let your lair be an ode to organic forms, as you’re guided by Georgia O’Keeffe-style promiscuous blooms and oversized pieces of driftwood, reminding yourself that that like nature itself, you have every right to the size and shape of your wants.

Libra & Libra Rising

In the Stars: As your ruler, Venus, enters the elemental fire of Aries, February invites you to divine your blood-pumping source. What’s your reason for being right now, Libra? What’s your central cause? Discard anything that isn’t a full body yes and let that sloughing off liberate your true blue rallying cry. 

In Your Space: Plump up for space with primary color and gargantuan centerpieces, imagining that your home was a showroom for exhibiting what’s most essential in your world. Don’t be afraid to make bigger, brighter design choices, letting boldness be the aesthetic answer.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

In the Stars: February is here to remind you that your ability to see the shadowy bits is a superpower and not a curse, Scorpio. Let your clarity about your own complex nature become a balm of forgiveness, and practice reaching out to all parts of your personhood so you can reach out to others with the same compassionate courage. 

In Your Space: Bring the boxes out from under the bed with boldness, Scorpio. Let this month be a practice of pretending you’ve got no space for storage and let whatever’s been hiding in your lair live its life in plain sight.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

In the Stars: What does “making it” mean to you right now, Sag? February is an opportunity to pause before the finish line of something that’s ripe for culmination, taking stock of your success story with curiosity. There’s an area of your life that’s been bound by black and white. Take this month to swap an all-or-nothing way of seeing for the full-spectrum ride. 

In Your Space: Your space wants to be aesthetically wider, incorporating a greater range of styles, textures, and shapes. Let your home be a haven of experimental art this month, saying yes to pieces that exist on the edges of your usual tastes.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

In the Stars: February wants the fullness of your presence, Capricorn, whole and complete in your beautiful bareness. What could be simpler than you’re making it out to be? Where is your heart right now? Let the eternal, essential questions beckon you back to the core of your precious existence.  

In Your Space: Start with the places where you sit and lie, choosing bespoke comfort and contouring for chairs and beds that fit your body like a silk glove. Let the entirety of your home feel like a dressing gown, selecting styles that are truly second skin.
