Leo, February 2017

This is a huge month for self discovery, Leo. There's an eclipse in your sign!

For such a short month, February is incredibly busy! Venus enters fellow Fire sign Aries on February 3, bringing you flirty vibes from faraway places. You're going to be in the mood to travel, or at least escape your everyday routine. While Venus was in dreamy Pisces these past few weeks, you were in a super emotional mood, and you processed and purged a ton of difficult feelings. But now you're bouncing back with Venus in cheerful Aries, and you're very ready to see the world after hiding away to heal for a while.

Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters intellectual Air sign Aquarius—the sign opposite from you on the zodiac wheel—on February 7. This means that way more communication will begin going down in your relationships, both romantic and nonromantic. Logical Mercury in genius Aquarius is great for hashing things out coolly and rationally. This is great news, Leo, considering that you're usually a magnet for drama.

February 9 is a day to watch out for around communication, thanks to the Sun connecting with Uranus. An unexpected conversation is likely to take place, one that will lead to a breakthrough within a relationship. Exciting! A deeper understanding between you and a partner is on the way.

Be sure to mark February 10 in your calendar: There will be a lunar eclipse in your sign today. Eclipses are exhilarating—and exhausting. Don't plan much around this date; you'll want to be as flexible as possible. Eclipses bring new information to light and forever alter the way we see the world. An ending is likely to take place—but eclipses always bring a new beginning, too.

What sorts of changes will this eclipse usher into your life? Well, since it's taking place in your sign: you. Who you are, what you want, your style and demeanor, and your sense of self and identity are all about to shift. You're going to find out who you really are. This sounds intense, I know, but eclipses are profoundly life-changing.

As a result of you undergoing this transformation, you can bet your relationships will shift, too. In fact, you may find that you've grown out of some of the partnerships you've been engaged in. Don't cling onto your past. Eclipses are a time to turn the page; a new story is about to begin!

Thankfully, Mercury will make a harmonious connection with Venus during this eclipse, which will create an easy vibe around communication during this transformative time. More good vibes will flow your way on February 11, when the Sun connects with lucky planet Jupiter. A message you've been waiting for is likely to come your way at this time, and the vibe between people will be generous and understanding.

February 14 also brings helpful energy, thanks to the Sun connecting with supportive Saturn. Saturn's energy isn't one we would call flirty or happy-go-lucky—it's the planet of melancholy—but the atmosphere will be creative. Today's energy isn't super cuddly, but a solid dialogue or show of appreciation or loyalty is likely to take place.

This is going to be a very powerfully emotional time for you, Leo, and creating space for yourself to feel your feelings is majorly important.

The Sun enters psychic Water sign Pisces on February 18, followed by Mercury on February 25. Expect a big boost to your intuition. Your mind will travel to deeper topics, and you'll find yourself examining your shadow side. But watch out: Pisces energy can get a bit paranoid. Don't fear the unknown. Face it! This is a wonderful time to break out your tarot deck, or at least buy a new journal.

The second eclipse of the month arrives on February 26: the solar eclipse in Pisces. This eclipse is especially wild, thanks to warrior Mars and electric Uranus meeting in Aries on the same day. Again, eclipses are totally draining, both physically and emotionally, so keep your schedule open, allow yourself to sleep in, and don't be too surprised if you start crying when sappy commercials come on.

The mood is going to be sensitive as hell, and Mars' and Uranus' meeting will make the energy especially chaotic and confrontational. Be extra mindful about differences in opinion and beliefs today, as things could quickly go out of control if an argument pops up. Pisces, the sign where the eclipse is taking place, is one of the most emo signs in the zodiac. This is going to be a very powerfully emotional time for you, Leo, and creating space for yourself to feel your feelings is majorly important. Let yourself be the drama queen all astrologers say you are. Holding it in—whatever "it" is—is a horrible idea right now.

Surround yourself with understanding friends, carry some rose quartz (this crystal is all about unconditional love and emotional healing), and remember that all things eventually pass, emotions come and go.

Remember: Eclipses bring endings, but they always open a new door. Be sure to walk through it!

Pisces is a Water sign, and is the sign of limitlessness. Will you drown in an ocean of emotion? You could, but only if you forget the secret key to Pisces's mystery: It also symbolizes imagination and creativity. Pisces doesn't follow rules—not even the rules of physics. Pisces is magic. If you find yourself drowning, remember that your powers of manifestation are intensely powerful right now. Through art, music, dance, romance, or however you like to "escape," you can transform the energy around you from doom and gloom to lightness and fresh starts. Remember: Eclipses bring endings, but they always open a new door. Be sure to walk through it!

This is a powerful eclipse for your intimate relationships. Your sex life will certainly be on your mind at the end of this month, and, if things aren't working out, you can bet a shift will take place. This eclipse is also huge for any tricky financial issues, like debts, taxes, or inheritances.

It's a life-changing month (as it always is when it's eclipse season), but, Leo, you'll find a way to make it work. See you in March!
