February 2025 Astrology Forecast

February 2025 is another transitional and slow month. While we're officially in 2025, this time quality mostly invites us to turn within and clean up, so that we are ready for the new era to come. A time to tie up loose ends and create clarity before March ushers in a new vibe with eclipses and Neptune's ingress in Aries.

This month brings gradual forward momentum paired with still reflective undertones. With Jupiter in Gemini stationing direct early in the month and Mars in Cancer going direct towards it's end, you might feel a renewed push to act on ideas and emotions that have been building since late 2024. However, Venus in Pisces is slowing down as she prepares for her retrograde in early March, which will be urging us to take a deeper look at our relationships, values and financial situation.

February, like January, is a time to gather clarity and focus on what truly matters, rather than rushing into decisions or action. Use this month to align with your intentions and your inner truth and prepare yourself for the significant shifts that begin in March with the ingress of Neptune into Aries as well as the first eclipse season of the year. Allow life to be slow and projects to take time - listen to both the call for progress and the need for patience and rest. Mars RX still directs our energy inwards.

In this forecast we cover the most important transits you need to know for February 2025 in order to thrive.

February 2025 Lunations

Full Moon in Leo – February 12, 2:53 PM CET

The Full Moon in Leo (24°06') brings themes of self-expression, creativity, and the need to be seen into the spotlight. The opposing Sun in Aquarius (24°06') reminds us of the collective context—how our individuality fits into a larger web of humanity. With the Sun conjunct Mercury (within 3°), this lunation sharpens mental clarity and brings significant insights around self-worth, communication, and personal purpose. Conversations or ideas sparked now may feel particularly charged, as Mercury strengthens our ability to articulate what truly matters to us.

However, both the Sun and Moon square Uranus in Taurus (24°20'), adding an electric, unpredictable edge to this Full Moon. Uranus acts as a disruptor here, shaking loose patterns of stagnation and pushing for authentic change. This may manifest as sudden realizations, unexpected shifts in relationships, or a need to break free from societal or personal constraints. While these shifts can feel destabilizing, they’re also opportunities for liberation—particularly from outdated roles or fears about stepping into your full power.

The Moon’s sextile to Lilith deepens the emotional intensity, highlighting the primal, unapologetic side of our nature. Lilith energy calls us to reclaim the parts of ourselves we may have suppressed, particularly around self-expression, sensuality, and confidence. This harmonious aspect encourages us to integrate these shadow elements, using them as a source of empowerment rather than fear.

Together, this configuration asks you to balance heart-centered authenticity (Leo Moon) with a progressive, community-minded vision (Aquarius Sun). The Uranian influence demands flexibility and openness to change, while the connection to Lilith adds a reminder that true power comes from embracing the entirety of who you are, even the parts that feel messy or unconventional.

How to work with this Full Moon

• Express yourself authentically: Leo asks you to step into the spotlight and own your creative gifts. Share what’s in your heart without seeking external validation.
• Embrace unexpected shifts: Uranus may bring surprises—stay open to change, and view disruptions as opportunities to break free from limiting beliefs or situations.
• Reclaim your inner power: The Moon’s sextile to Lilith supports integrating your shadow. Reflect on where you’ve held back and choose empowerment instead of fear.
• Ground your energy: With Uranus in Taurus creating tension, grounding practices like breathwork, yoga, or time in nature can help stabilize emotional intensity.
• Communicate clearly: The Sun-Mercury conjunction sharpens insights—use this energy to articulate your needs and have honest conversations.
• Balance self and community: Honor your individuality without losing sight of how you can contribute to something larger than yourself.

New Moon in Pisces – February 28, 1:45 AM CET

The New Moon in Pisces (9°40') invites you to connect with your dreams, intuition, and emotional depth. As both the Sun and Moon align in the compassionate and imaginative waters of Pisces, this lunation signals a time for reflection, spiritual renewal, and creative visioning. New Moons are always an opportunity for new beginnings, and in Pisces, these beginnings are less about tangible goals and more about aligning with your inner sense of purpose and trust in the unseen.

However, this New Moon forms a tense square to Jupiter in Gemini (12°11'), the planetary ruler of Pisces. This aspect introduces a push-pull dynamic between boundless Piscean faith and Jupiter’s curious, intellectual energy. While Pisces encourages surrender, Gemini seeks answers through exploration and dialogue. This tension may create an internal conflict between feeling and logic, or between dreaming big and staying realistic. Be mindful of overcommitting or scattering your energy in too many directions, a potential pitfall of this square.

The square to Jupiter also amplifies the emotional and spiritual themes of this New Moon, making it a potent time to reflect on how your beliefs shape your reality. Are your visions grounded in truth, or are they rooted in escapism or wishful thinking? This lunation asks you to dream with intention, recognizing that while inspiration is essential, it must be paired with discernment to create meaningful results.

With Pisces’ deep empathy and Jupiter’s expansive energy, this New Moon also invites you to consider how your personal healing and creativity can ripple outward, benefiting others. It’s a reminder that your inner world is deeply connected to the collective—your growth contributes to the world’s growth.

How to work with this New Moon

• Set intentions with emotional clarity: Focus on the dreams that align with your inner truth, and resist the urge to spread yourself too thin.
• Balance imagination with discernment: Reflect on where you might be overly idealistic or avoidant, and ground your visions in practicality.
• Explore your beliefs: Journaling, meditation, or self-inquiry can help you uncover subconscious beliefs that may be shaping your decisions.
• Embrace stillness: Pisces thrives in quiet, intuitive spaces. Use this New Moon to meditate, create art, or spend time in nature.
• Practice gratitude: Jupiter’s influence encourages an expansive heart—focus on the abundance you already have as you dream of what’s next.
• Connect with your higher self: This is a powerful lunation for spiritual practices, including visualization, intention-setting, and connecting with your intuition.

Other key transits and dates

Venus conjunct Neptune (February 1)

When Venus (exalted in Pisces) merges with Neptune at 26°10' Pisces, the energy softens and expands the boundaries of love, creativity, and spiritual connection. This transit heightens sensitivity to beauty and compassion, making it a potent time for artistic inspiration and deep emotional connection. Relationships may take on an idealized glow, and spiritual or romantic yearnings could feel particularly strong. However, Neptune’s influence can blur boundaries, making it easy to project fantasies or overlook red flags in relationships and situations.

This is a time to dream big and immerse yourself in creative or spiritual practices but remain grounded. Use this energy for activities that inspire connection and transcendence, such as meditation, painting, music, or acts of service.

Jupiter stations direct (February 4)

Jupiter stations direct at 6° Gemini after being retrograde since October 9, 2024. During its retrograde, the planet of growth and expansion encouraged an inward journey, urging reflection on your beliefs, learning, and communication patterns. Now, as Jupiter begins moving forward, mental clarity returns, and ideas or opportunities that felt stalled since late 2024 gain momentum.

In Gemini, Jupiter fuels curiosity, encouraging you to expand your knowledge, embrace new perspectives, and engage in meaningful conversations. This is a powerful time to revisit projects or plans you paused, especially those related to writing, teaching, or networking.

Mars stations direct (February 23)

Mars stations direct at 3° Cancer after a long retrograde that began on December 7, 2024. During this time, you were called to reassess your relationship with assertiveness, motivation, and emotional expression. Retrograde Mars in Cancer often stirs up unresolved emotional patterns tied to security, family, or self-protection, leading to moments of introspection and recalibration.

Now that Mars is direct, you may feel a renewed sense of clarity and drive, particularly in areas where emotions and action intersect. Goals that have been delayed or felt unclear will begin to make more sense, and you can take deliberate steps forward. In Cancer, this forward motion is emotionally attuned and rooted in personal or familial needs.

Mercury conjunct Saturn (February 25)

Mercury meets Saturn at 1° Pisces, offering a grounding influence for thoughts, communication, and planning. Saturn brings structure and discipline to Mercury’s mental energy, making this a prime moment for clarity and problem-solving. In Pisces, the focus shifts to turning abstract ideas or dreams into something tangible.

This transit supports long-term planning, disciplined communication, and serious conversations. While it can feel heavy or serious, it’s also a chance to work through challenges with patience and focus. Use this day to create strategies, tackle responsibilities, or address important topics with care and maturity.

Final thoughts

February invites you to balance reflection with steady forward movement. Let the direct stations of Jupiter and Mars inspire clarity and action, but remember that patience is key this month. Big shifts are coming in March and beyond, so use this time to fine-tune your direction. For a deeper dive into 2025’s transformative themes, don’t miss our 2025 Astrology Forecast.
