This month is all about connecting to your inner mystic, muse or philanthropist. That’s because artsy, compassionate Pisces, along with its ruler Neptune, are the most powerful influences in February. The downside can be lack of clarity when making decisions, so be sure to make time for introspection so you stay in touch with your inner guidance.

Transit Tales

The main event this month is Neptune reentering Pisces, where it will stay through January 2026. Neptune’s “we are all one” energy helps dissolve spiritual, political and economic boundaries that separate people. This awareness-raising transit is especially powerful because Neptune is right at home in Pisces. Its mission is to help us become attuned to all living things, and therefore more accepting and forgiving of each other, and more supportive of the environment as a whole.

What’s more, Venus in Pisces will add a touch of spirituality (or elusiveness) to relationships during the first week of February. This influence can bring out your desire to help others or to connect with your partner on a spiritual level.

After Venus enters fiery Aries on the 7th (through March 4), expect some passionate, spontaneous, daring or hasty encounters in the romance arena.

Mars in Virgo throughout the month can help you take care of practicalities, which may get overlooked if this month’s ethereal influences cast a spell over you.

Planets in Motion

Rethinking a goal or commitment may take priority after Saturn turns retrograde on the 7th (through June 24). Although this weighty influence can upset the launch of a relationship commitment or business venture, it encourages a review of what you want in your life, which will ultimately strengthen your foundation.

Lunar Magic

Social interactions escalate on the 7th as the Full Moon in Leo hooks up with talkative Mercury. Romance can especially benefit from brainy/flirty connections, if you avoid the temptation to gossip.

The New Moon in Pisces on the 21st conjuncts Neptune, intensifying the compassionate, creative or elusive vibe in whatever you’re trying to achieve. Success can be yours by being clear about your objectives, and then going with the flow of your inner guidance.
