Virgo, February 2017

February is huge for your relationships, Virgo, and new information will come to light as well.

The month opens with your ruling planet, Mercury, in fellow Earth sign Capricorn. It will clash with Jupiter, in Libra, on February 2. This is an over-the-top way to start the month! The atmosphere will be busy and optimistic. Virgo, if something sounds too good to be true, don't buy into it. People will be prone to exaggeration. Big ideas will lead nowhere, details will be skimmed over, and people will likely say too much. But that doesn't mean you won't have fun—even though you'll probably spend too much money around this time.

Sexy Venus enters Fire Aries on February 3, heating up a very intimate sector of your chart! Venus is the planet of love and money. While it's in Aries, issues concerning sex and intimacy will be on the table, as will financial issues, especially concerning taxes, debts, and inheritances. Astrologers often call Virgo the sign of service. However, while Venus is in Aries, the first sign in the zodiac, please try to put your needs first and let your partners know what you want—whether that's in bed or regarding the check they're writing you.

Your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Aquarius on February 7, which will boost your productivity. Mercury is the planet of the mind and communication, so it works well in logical Air sign Aquarius. This is a great month to get organized and get shit done.

The lunar eclipse arrives on February 10, and it will take place in regal Leo. Eclipses are exciting—but they're totally exhausting, too. This one will be especially tiring, since it will be activating a very private, sleepy, hidden sector of your chart. Your tarot card is the Hermit, and you'll definitely be craving some alone time right now.

Please try to put your needs first and let your partners know what you want—whether that's in bed or regarding the check they're writing you.

Keep a dream journal by your bed this month; this eclipse will bring you some psychic dreams. Your intuition will be extra sharp, so don't ignore your gut! Eclipses always bring new information to light, and some big secrets will definitely be revealed (I mean, this eclipse is in Leo, the sign of drama, so expect things to get pretty theatrical!).

Keep your schedule light. You'll want to be able to take your time during this busy month. The Leo eclipse will also be a hugely important time for catching up on sleep, and for checking in with your health. Ways you may have been shooting yourself in the foot without realizing it will also become very obvious to you during this transit.

Fortunately, this eclipse won't turn the 10th into a total and complete mess: Your ruling planet, Mercury, will make a harmonious connection with lovely Venus on this day as well, which will help you get organized and aid you in smoothing out whatever awkward vibes are in the air.

Mercury—which is currently in genius Air sign Aquarius—makes a bunch of lovely astrological aspects mid-month, which will bolster your spirits. It connects with Mars on February 16, helping you with negotiations or in terms of getting organized, and it connects with Uranus on February 20, bringing you some unexpected assistance. Mercury also mingles with lucky Jupiter on February 21, creating good vibes around money and security, and it meets supportive Saturn on February 23, which will also help you feel grounded and stable as you work out issues at work or problems regarding your health.

Eclipses are always very emotional, but because this one is in weepy Water sign Pisces—the most emo sign in the zodiac—you can expect lots of feelings everywhere.

The Sun enters Pisces, the sign opposite you on the zodiac wheel, on February 18, soon followed by Mercury on February 25. The Sun and Mercury in dreamy Water sign Pisces will illuminate the partnerships sector of your chart: exciting! The first eclipse of the month had you hiding away from the world, but now that the Sun and Mercury are in your opposite sign, you're totally focused on partnering with others—especially since the second eclipse of the month is in Pisces.

The Pisces eclipse arrives on February 26, and this will be a big one. This is thanks to Mars, the planet of aggression, meeting Uranus, the planet of confusion, on the same day. The vibe will be even more hectic and shocking than what we can usually expect during an eclipse. Eclipses are always very emotional, but because this one is in weepy Water sign Pisces—the most emo sign in the zodiac—you can expect lots of feelings everywhere.

Eclipses also reveal new information, so expect to get to know someone on a way deeper level. Secrets will be revealed. Issues concerning intimacy will be major, and thanks to that meeting between Mars and Uranus, some unexpected sparks could fly—or an unexpected, uncomfortable clash could occur. It all depends on context and what's happening in your life, Virgo.

Under this eclipse, you're also likely to bring in plenty of new people into your life—and say goodbye to a few friends or lovers, too. This is an important time for letting go. Eclipses are always a turning point; nothing is the same after one comes our way. But eclipses have a fated feeling to them. If you believe in destiny, Virgo, this eclipse will lead you to yours, especially on the relationship front.

One of the hardest things for you to work out in your relationships is the feeling that you give too much—or worse, the worry that you don't have enough to give. You'll learn a lot about yourself this February, especially around this complex you carry around. Ways you hold yourself back, or even lie to yourself, will be revealed, as will the give-and-take dynamics in your relationships—and I mean all your relationships, not just the sexy ones!

See you in March, Virgo!
