Monthly Horoscope: Leo, February 2021

The sun in your opposite sign Aquarius lights up the relationship sector of your chart, making this a major month for connecting and relating, and some confrontations take place as the sun clashes with Mars in Taurus on February 1, putting people in an impatient mood. Tempers are short, but Venus enters Aquarius on this day, which is a blessing for your relationships: Your partners will be eager to get along, even though people are feeling argumentative as warrior planet Mars comes up against the sun and people’s big egos.

Venus meets Saturn in Aquarius on February 6: While Venus’s presence usually suggests some sweetness and flirtation, Saturn’s appearance means things are buttoned-up and kept at a distance. This is a solid time to discuss plans, standards, promises, and boundaries, but it isn’t exactly the coziest moment, and might even be a bit grumpy.

Venus clashes with Uranus in Taurus on February 7, finding you making some unexpected choices! Uranus is all about experimentation, and as it clashes with Venus, you’re reconsidering what (and who) is important and pleasurable to you. The sun meets Mercury retrograde in Aquarius on February 8, bringing an important perspective or piece of information concerning your relationships—but watch out for arguments, especially concerning work, as Mercury clashes with Mars on February 10.

A lucky new moon in Aquarius lands on February 11, finding Venus and Jupiter meeting in Aquarius! New moons bring fresh starts, and this one is all about your relationships, Leo. As sweet Venus and jovial Jupiter come together, the mood is optimistic, creative, and romantic. This is a wonderful time to meet someone new or connect more deeply with someone in your life! Mercury meets Venus on February 13, creating a fun and social atmosphere; you may reconnect with some people from the past! Mars connects with Neptune in Pisces and Mercury meets Jupiter on February 14, bringing an ease to connection and communication; there’s a generosity and open-heartedness in the air, and maybe some laziness, too. That’s OK—why should we be at 100% all the time? Cut people some slack right now, Leo, especially yourself.

One of the most pivotal days this month is February 17, when Saturn clashes with Uranus. Saturn is the planet of tradition, boundaries, and rules, but electric Uranus rules unpredictability, chaos, rebellion, and breakthrough! The rules are being rewritten, especially in your career and in your relationships. The old ways of doing things are no more. In some ways this is liberating, but it can also feel nerve-racking: Use this moment to think about how you wish things could be done differently, because this is a powerful time for change.

Pisces season begins on February 18, finding the sun illuminating a very sensitive sector of your chart. This is a critical moment for closure and release. It’s time to cut off what’s no longer serving you. This is also a big deal financially, as you handle issues concerning debts, taxes, inheritances, and shared resources. Pisces might be the sign of limitlessness, but our wallets certainly have a limit…what’s yours? What your partner’s? These are conversations you may be having at this time. Venus clashes with Mars on February 19, creating a competitive yet flirtatious atmosphere, and Mercury retrograde ends on February 21, finally moving conversations forward after a few weeks of delay and miscommunications.

February 25 is one of the busiest days this month! Venus enters Pisces, bringing blessings to the relationship sector of your chart. Venus in Pisces is a total whisk-you-off-your-feet, romantic, and fantastical energy, making this an exciting time in your love life! Mars makes a harmonious connection with Pluto in Capricorn, which bodes well for your career and productivity; there’s a fearlessness and ease in the air. The sun connects with wildcard Uranus, helping you make exciting changes in your career and your life in public.

The full moon in Virgo arrives on February 27, bringing a culmination to a situation that’s been brewing in your finances, or concerning themes like comfort, security, value, and worth. Virgo is a zodiac sign that likes to keep things simple: Look through your belongings and donate what you no longer need. Full moons are all about release, so let go of your clutter! This is also a great time to review you budget.

Good luck this month, Leo, see you in March!
