Libra, February 2018

Will this month be as fun as you hope? Sure, if you love drama (which I know you do, Libra).

It’s Aquarius season, which means the Sun is illuminating the sector of your chart that rules fun, romance, and creativity. Will this month be a party? It could—but it will also be very dramatic, thanks to an upcoming solar eclipse.

It’s certainly a social, busy start to the month for you, Libra: Your planetary ruler Venus connects with action planet Mars on February 2. Watch out for exciting news and conversations! Make a point to party early this month, but keep your indulgences in check: Venus will clash with over-the-top Jupiter on February 4, which may find you spending more money than you'd planned. Jupiter is the planet of luck and abundance, so good times usually come when it connects with sweet, lovely Venus; however, too much of a good thing is definitely a thing. Venus connects with electric Uranus, which is currently in Aries—the sign opposite from you on the zodiac wheel—on February 6, bringing unexpected joy to your relationships and encouraging you to try new things with your partners.

A shift in energy takes place on February 10, when your planetary ruler Venus enters dreamy Water sign Pisces. Expect a big boost in creativity, which it will manifest itself at work and around your beauty routine. This is a wonderful occasion to visit a spa or take a soothing bath with a face mask at home. Kicking bad habits is another great way to work the energy. At your day job, you’ll find people are in an easygoing mood, eager to get along.

One of the most dramatic days of the month is sure to be February 15, the day of the solar eclipse in Aquarius. A solar eclipse—a mega new moon—is highly emotional and exhausting. New beginnings are taking place; however, the changes may feel sudden or unexpected. Eclipses are all about destiny, and they ask us if we’re on the right path. Are you not doing what’s right for you? This is a critical time to get clear on your goals, needs and feelings.

Your love life, as well as your creative pursuits, will be a major focus during this time. Are you crushing on the right person? Are you devoting yourself to creative projects that truly inspire you? These are questions that you’ll be weighing. We all have a creative drive within us; if you’re feeling stifled, this eclipse will break things wide open. As dramatic as it may be, it will ultimately allow you to do what it is your heart wants to do.

Also on the 15th, Mercury will connect with Uranus, and Venus will connect with Saturn. These harmonious connections will help things move forward. Everyone will be thinking flexibly and freely, thanks to Mercury and Uranus, and we'll all be eager to approach issues maturely and kindly as we all work toward building our future.

Mercury enters Pisces on February 17, followed by the Sun on February 18, marking the official beginning of Pisces season. For you, Libra, Pisces season is a time to get reorganized, to kick bad habits, and cross items off your to-do list. Pisces is one of the most creative signs in the zodiac, so you’ll certainly be bringing your artistic talents to your daily work during this time. Self-care, emotional and physical, is also a big theme for you at this time. Finding ways to nourish yourself, inside and out, is a lovely way to work with the energy. If you’re feeling witchy, casting a spell for productivity or well-being is a great idea.

The month began with your ruling planet Venus very busy, and it wraps up that way, too: Venus meets with Neptune on February 21, clashes with Mars on February 25, and makes a harmonious connection with Pluto on February 27.

Venus’s connection with Neptune is sure to be romantic—but also lazy. Don’t plan too much at work today, as you’re going to be busy daydreaming (Neptune’s favorite activity). This is a wonderful time to make art, or make out with someone, but definitely find ways to stay grounded because Neptune’s vibe can be hazy, confused, or even deluded.

The energy will be hugely passionate when Venus squares off with Mars—a fiery conversation is likely to take place. Venus’s connection with the planet of power, Pluto, will be especially intense. Make time to reflect on your boundaries and on issues like privacy during this time. Venus and Pluto will find you forging very deep—even spiritual—connections with people, and it’s crucial that you have your two feet on the ground so you don't lose sight of your practical needs. Good luck this month, Libra, and see you in March!
