Monthly Horoscope: Libra, February 2021

The sun is lighting up the romance and creativity sector of your chart, Libra, and there’s a celebratory mood in the air!

A passionate and impulsive energy flows as the sun clashes with Mars in Taurus on February 1: You might find people are especially stubborn, but you may also have a brilliant breakthrough regarding creativity or intimacy. Also on this day, your ruling planet Venus enters fellow air sign Aquarius, creating a charming and seductive atmosphere that’s wonderful for connecting with your lovers, expressing yourself creatively, and generally having fun. This moment is all about pleasure!

This is, until February 6 when Venus meets taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius, which might be quite a rigid or grumpy day. Still, it’s an excellent time to discuss plans, commitments, and standards. A big shift in energy arrives the next day as Venus clashes with Uranus in Taurus on February 7, bringing unexpected thrills and putting people in an experimental mood. 

The sun meets Mercury retrograde in Aquarius on February 8, finding you reconnecting with a lover, perhaps with someone from your past or with your current partner on a deeper level. You may also find yourself picking up a creative project you preciously put on the back burner. Mercury retrograde is annoying because of miscommunications and delays and people may try to rush things on February 10 as Mercury clashes with Mars, so try to remember that speed doesn’t equal accuracy or efficiency.

A lucky new moon in Aquarius lands on February 11, marking a fresh start in your love life! This is fantastic for your social life, too, as new reasons to celebrate are likely to arrive. Creatively, this is a brilliant time and new projects are taking off. Venus meets Jupiter in Aquarius on this day, adding some extra sparkle! Jovial Jupiter is all about good luck and opportunity, and its meeting with your ruling planet Venus bodes well for your joy! An optimistic energy flows. 

More connections with past and current lovers take place on February 13 as Mercury meets Venus. Some gossip may also come your way! You’re busy smoothing over awkward situations as Mars mingles with Neptune in Pisces on February 14, plus Mercury meets in Jupiter, which means plenty of big ideas and big promises will be explored. Try to treat conversations more like brainstorms than promises, since Jupiter tends to exaggerate and Mercury is retrograde! Enjoy the excitement, but stay grounded.

One of the most critical days this month is February 17, when Saturn squares off with Uranus. An incredible breakthrough that completely rewrites how you’ve always dealt with romance, intimacy, creative collaboration, and shared resources takes place. Saturn is the planet of tradition, but Uranus is the planet of rebellion: The rules are being rewritten! You no longer feel beholden to old scripts. In some ways, this is a hugely liberating feeling, but as you witness how unpredictable life can be, you’re also realizing that it’s crucial to get real about your needs and desires, and to make your standards and expectations known. You can’t play along with things that don’t make you happy anymore.

Pisces season begins on February 18, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your daily routines and rituals, and inspiring you to kick some bad habits and rethink your schedule. Some new gigs may come your way. This is also a great time to reorganize your workspace. Venus clashes with Mars on February 19, creating a competitive atmosphere that’s also a little flirtatious one! Mercury retrograde ends on February 21, finally clearing up confusion and helping us move forward. 

February 25 is one of the busiest days of the month: Venus enters Pisces, inspiring you to edit your wardrobe and treat yourself to a DIY spa day. In your partnerships, you’re considering how your schedules mesh and how you can both feel productive and connected, and still have solid down time. Balancing schedules isn’t easy, but Venus in flexible, creative Pisces can help! Mars connects with Pluto in Capricorn, inspiring emotional breakthroughs and helping you let go of the past in a major way. The sun connects with wildcard Uranus, bringing unexpected solutions to annoying problems. 

The full moon in Virgo arrives on February 27, and any feelings you’ve been repressing may come to the surface. This is a brilliant time for shadow work and therapy, as hidden parts of yourself are illuminated! Secrets may be revealed and it’s a potent time for release. Make extra time to rest during this intense and emotional full moon. You may find that you can’t sleep at all, or that you need more rest or time off, so see how you can make your schedule more accommodating.

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