Monthly Horoscope: Gemini, February 2021

The sun clashes with Mars in Taurus on February 1, inspiring an impulsive atmosphere. You may find that people are digging in their heels when it comes to their beliefs and ideas. Also on this day, Venus enters Aquarius, bringing blessings from abroad and in your love life, and finding you and your partners connecting on an intellectual level—you’ll likely learn a lot about what they think and why during this time! Promises are made on February 6 as Venus meets Saturn in Aquarius, but Saturn can be quite chilly, so don’t expect it to be a romantic, cozy vibe. 

Venus clashes with Uranus in Taurus on February 7, bringing unexpected thrills! This is an exciting time to experiment—just try to trust your intuition; if you don’t have enough information about something, think twice before committing. Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde after all, which means triple checking is in order! An important perspective or piece of information (particularly one you may have previously missed) arrives on February 8 as the sun meets Mercury in Aquarius, and argumentativeness or irritation is in the air on February 10 as Mercury squares off with Mars. Mercury retrograde is famous for delays, and at this time, people may be eager to push things forward, so it’s important to remember that speed doesn’t equal competency.

A lucky new moon in Aquarius comes on February 11 as Venus meets Jupiter! New moons are new beginnings, and this one will find you diving into a new course of study or planning an exciting journey. Venus and Jupiter’s meeting is especially beneficial, someone may seek to publish your brilliant ideas, or a message of love from faraway (or close by; with lockdowns it can feel like a different block is another world) may arrive! An easy, sociable energy flows as Mercury meets Venus on February 13, bringing you sweet messages and fun opportunities, and creating a confident atmosphere.

February 14 finds Mars connecting with Neptune in Pisces and Mercury meeting Jupiter while on its retrograde journey, inspiring compassion and open communication—just watch out for exaggerations! February 17 is definitely a day to circle on your calendar; the rules are rewritten as taskmaster Saturn clashes with rebel Uranus! Saturn is all about structure and discipline, and it’s a very rigid, even confining energy. Electric Uranus, on the other hand, is the planet of unpredictability that’s often considered the planet of chaos. What happens when taskmaster Saturn gets hit with Uranus’s lightning bolt? Things crack open! Liberation and a change in protocol take place, and the whole scene has been transformed! Your ways of interacting with the world are going undergoing major transformations, Gemini. You’ll especially notice this in your spiritual life, and around issues concerning travel, education, and publishing—the way you used to interact with and explore the world is changing in ways you never imagined.

Pisces season begins on February 18, finding the sun brightly illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your career and reputation! Pisces is a highly creative water sign, and you’re showing off your many artistic talents. Venus clashes with Mars on February 19, bringing some fun banter and competitive energy your way. Mercury retrograde ends on February 21, which is a major relief for you, as Mercury is your ruling planet—finally, miscommunications and delays start easing up and things move forward!

February 25 is an especially busy day as Venus enters Pisces, Mars mingles with Pluto in Capricorn, and the sun connects with unruly Uranus. Venus in Pisces will work wonders for your reputation; you’ll have an especially glamorous, intriguing sheen about you, and some rewards and recognition may come your way! Mars’s connection with Pluto bodes well for emotional transformation and cutting ties with what no longer serves you—there will be more of that with the full moon in Virgo in a few days, too! The sun’s connection with Uranus brings surprises and helps you break out of old patterns.

The full moon in Virgo comes on February 27, brightly illuminating the home and family sector of your chart. This is a powerful release point. You’re letting go of old traditions, releasing the past, and growing out of thought patterns that tie you to the past. While Pisces season is major for you career, this full moon pushes you to strike a better balance between your public and private lives. This is a great time to edit the items in your home and get rid of what you no longer need. Energetically cleanse your space, throw out the trash, and change your sheets! Virgo loves to keep it tidy, so get some early spring cleaning done now. 

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