As chill as air sign Aquarius may be, February is off to a very intense start: On February 1, Mars squares off with Pluto, creating a great amount of tension. Both of these planets are associated with war and destruction, and while you are typically a very patient and measured person, your own temper is going to be very short, and you may find yourself feeling like you have to take swift, decisive action to defend yourself, assert your boundaries, or end a relationship or a project. Capricorn, an earth sign, is all about building—but you’re knocking shit down right now. Issues in your personal life, at home, or with family, are especially sensitive right now.

The smallest shift can have a big, positive impact on you emotionally. Communication planet Mercury connects with Jupiter on February 3, again boosting your intuition, and you find yourself in a flirtatious mood as sweet, sexy Venus enters your sign. You’ve been feeling shy (or simply private) recently, but with Venus in your sign, you’re ready to flirt! People think Capricorn is all business, but you’re an earth sign, which means you’re super sensual, and with Venus in Capricorn, you are ready to play and spoil yourself and those around you.Speaking of spoiling yourself, a fresh start around cash comes on February 4, thanks to the new moon in Aquarius. On an emotional level, this is so much more than about money: The moon represents our sense of comfort, and as this new moon activates the sector of your chart that rules your assets, themes around security, self-worth, and feeling valued naturally arise for your examination. The moon wants to be cozy, and in Aquarius, the moon feels most comforted by having some space—Aquarius is an air sign, after all, so it requires space to breath, explore, and experiment. You’re smart about money, Capricorn, and it’s not like you to spend foolishly, but part of what makes Capricorns especially adept business people is your willingness and savviness to invest in cutting ideas. Whether we’re talking stocks or being smart about who to sit next to at the lunch table, you know what and who to invest your time, energy, and yes, money, in, and this new moon in Aquarius launches a new journey around building your wealth in every sense of the word.
