Sagittarius, February 2018

Another clash with Jupiter occurs on February 10, with the Sun, as well as on February 13, with Mercury, stirring up big conversations— and big egos. You’re a fantastic salesperson, and it’s likely you’ll make some exciting pitches this month, but focus on the truth and the present. Don't make any promises because, as optimistic as you may feel, the eclipse will bring a ton of changes this month. Who knows if you will really be able to keep them!

Expect to be in a sensitive, nostalgic mood this month, too, thanks to Venus entering Water sign Pisces on February 10. Pisces is a highly psychic, empathetic sign, and Venus is a people pleaser—in many ways, this is a beautiful, healing, and compassionate combination of energies, but you need to be sure to get clear on your boundaries and claim some personal space. You don’t have to let everyone in all the time. That said, this is a brilliant occasion to beautify your home and connect with family, as well as your ancestors.

Other notable days around home, family, and your private life will be February 21, when Venus meets Neptune, and February 25, when Mercury meets Neptune. Neptune is the planet of illusion—and delusion. It encourages us to tap into our imagination; however, it’s important to stay grounded when Neptune’s foggy influence is in the air. These are powerful days for addressing and healing issues concerning your early childhood, as well as for creating a spiritual space for yourself within your home. Your psychic abilities will also be heightened—just be sure you know the difference between an intuitive hunch and paranoia.

February 15 is one of the most intense days of the month. There’s a solar eclipse—basically, a very mega new moon—in Air sign Aquarius, which will activate the sector of your chart that rules your mind, as well as communication. This means you can expect surprising information to be revealed (you will never think of things the same way again!) and important conversations to take place. You will rethink some things you may have thought were obvious. The purpose of an eclipse is to push us closer to our destiny—and the further you've been veering from that path, the more intense and dramatic the eclipse will feel. You can also expect major shake-ups to occur in your neighborhood as well as with your siblings.

Several planets will be making very helpful connections in the sky during this eclipse: Mercury makes a harmonious connection with Uranus on this day, and Venus connects with Saturn. Mercury’s connections with Uranus will incite an unexpected, playful, flirtatious energy; brilliant, creative strokes of genius are likely to take place. You'll feel comfortable speaking your mind—and you will possibly say something pretty risky! Eclipses, again, bring surprises, and you may be the surprise or the bearer of shocking news for people in your life, Sag.

Fortunately, lovely Venus and the planet of reasonability, Saturn, will also connect on this day, creating a wonderful atmosphere for meeting with others, taking things seriously—as Saturn always does, and being reliable. This will instill a useful grounding energy during this exciting—and likely dramatic—time.

Mercury enters Pisces on February 17, and Pisces season officially begins on February 18, with the Sun entering this psychic and creative Water sign. A lot of communication is going to take place this month thanks to the eclipse; however, during Pisces season, you will find you want to make some quiet time for yourself at home, to reconnect with your family and to focus on comfort, security, and privacy. If you’re looking to move to a new home or straighten out issues in your current space, Pisces season is a good occasion to work that all out. Sagittarius people love to travel—you’re usually more concerned with your next hotel stay than what’s happening at your house, but during Pisces season, you will notice you’re much more domestic!

Good luck this month, Sagittarius, and see you in March!
