Expect this to be your focus during much of the month as your ruling planet Venus goes retrograde (March 4th) in Aries, your zone of rest, retreat, and dreams. With Venus retrograde here, you’ll have to draw inward and tap into the more soulful part of you in order to figure out what really speaks to your spirit.

On the 9th, aggressive Mars enters Taurus, your zone of rest, healing, and retreat. With Mars in one of the most private parts of your chart, it’s time to channel your angry feelings into a creative or therapeutic outlet as holding on to those feelings or attempting to ignore them will only hurt you more than it will help.

Sagittarius: What kind of value do you place on your talent? Or do you place a value on it at all? And if you do value your talent, is it time to raise that value? These are just some of the questions that may come up over the next few weeks as Venus in Aries retrogrades (March 4th) through your zone of love, creativity, and adventure. If you want others to appreciate you for your genius, especially in the form of cash, you need to appreciate you first. As such, you can expect Venus retrograde to bring up feelings of being taken for granted as you crave equal exchanges of adoration and energy. This will also be the case when it comes to your lovers and potential lovers now as you won’t want to settle.

On the 13th, Mercury enters Aries, joining Venus – which could mark a good time to open negotiations on buying or selling a house or to address a family related matter. When the Sun enters Aries on the 20th, your source of warmth and light will be from time spent at home or in private with people you deeply care about.

While you tend to be a friend to many and you usually have a variety of interests, the cosmos is asking you to be savvy about what you put your energy towards which means the things you used to do and the people you used to do them with may no longer fit anymore. Overall, it’s time to pare down and get more value for your time spent. On the 9th, active Mars enters Taurus, your zone of home and family. While Mars is here, expect things to get real busy when it comes to your private life. With Mars here, you may be motivated to renovate your space or move somewhere else altogether. Given the last year you’ve head and the goodies you’re in for, it may make sense now to upgrade your space.

Channel that energy to draw healthier boundaries or to finally address an elephant in the room.

When the Full Moon in Virgo lands in your zone of intimacy, finances, and rebirth on the 12th, it’s time for a purge of sorts.

If you’ve experienced trauma or abuse in the past, this moon can be a gateway to your healing, especially by way of counseling or therapy. On the 13th, Mercury enters Aries, joining Venus retrograde. You could reconnect with a long-lost friend or sibling, or revisit an idea that could make you money. On the 20th, when the Sun heads into Aries, your source of energy will come by way of interesting conversations and connections that you’ll have with the people around you.

Pisces: You’ve got your mind on your money and your money on your mind this month, especially as March opens with Venus retrograde in Aries (March 4th), your zone of income and possessions. With the planet of self-worth, pleasure, and abundance moving backwards in your financial zone, your focus will be drawn to reassessing how you make your money and whether you’re making enough based on what you have to offer. If you’ve been feeling underpaid and underappreciated, those feelings will be hard to ignore now. You’ll also find that the conflict between getting paid for what you love versus getting paid enough to pay your bills will also be a theme. Though with Venus, the underlying issue to each of these challenges will focus around how much you value yourself and your own happiness. With Venus in self-assertive Aries, put yourself first. About assertiveness, when confident Mars enters Taurus (your zone of communication) on March 9th, your anger and how you express it will come up for review. If you’ve ever had challenges with avoiding conflict or holding on to things past their due, Mars in Taurus will push and prod you to get to the bottom of it.

On March 12th, the Full Moon in Virgo lands in your zone of partnership which could bring a relationship issue to a head or pave the way for a new phase in a partnership, whether in business or romance. If you’ve been feeling that love has skipped over you, then look to this moon to highlight what needs to be fixed to draw in the kind of relationship that you want. As Virgo is a “facts only” kind of sign, the relationship work that you do will require you to be realistic and practical. On the 13th, Mercury enters Aries, joining Venus retrograde. With Mercury and Venus in this zone, your attention will be drawn to creating a financial plan or strategy that allows you more freedom whether it’s making more money, saving more money, doing more of what you love, or finding a job that doesn’t tether you to one place. On the 20th, when Aries season kicks off, the spotlight remains on your income and your self-worth. Expect to splurge and show off a bit as a means of boosting your spirits. Remember, how you treat you is how others will treat you too.

February 2017 Horoscopes

Aries: Welcome to your reinvention. If last month was all about surrender, release, and sleep; this month it’s all about victory, manifesting, and momentum. Not only do you have Mars, your ruling planet, back home in Aries (your zone of self-confidence and self-image) but Venus will be joining Mars in this zone on February 3rd. Having Venus in your sign is important because wherever she goes, she brings lots of opportunities for love, pleasure, and financial rewards. With Venus and Mars on your side over the next few weeks, it means that you’ll have just the right amount of confidence, charm, and creativity to get what you want and do what you want, which means that now is not the time to lose focus or steam when it comes to your goals and plans. Because we’re dealing with some fresh, yet unstable energy this month, it’s important to remain centered, grounded, and specific about what you want especially when it comes to love and relationships.

About love and relationships; when Jupiter begins its four-month retrograde in Libra, your zone of marriage and partnerships, on February 6th, you may need to reassess a relationship, your beliefs about relationships or marriage, or review a lesson in love. One theme that you may notice that’s been coming up for you over and over since Jupiter has been in Libra is how you can’t always go it alone. With Mars and Venus being in Aries, the downside is that it can make you too egocentric or give you the feeling that you don’t need anyone. If it’s one lesson that 2017 is teaching us, it’s how much we need the love and support of other people to thrive. This theme repeats for you yet again, by the 7th when Mercury enters Aquarius, your zone of friendship and community. With Mercury here, friendship and allyship will be an important part in helping you bring your ideas to life as well as capitalizing on the impressive resume you’ve been building. Also, if social justice or tech is your focus, Mercury in Aquarius can help you move masses.

On the 10th, your love life and self-confidence come back into focus when an influential Lunar Eclipse in Leo lands in your zone of romance, creativity, and adventure. Over the six months that follow this eclipse, you may end a relationship, end the single life, or be moved to creatively express yourself in a way that pushes you into the public eye. Since this zone of your chart is also connected to children, some Leo may be expecting. However, if children aren’t on your must have list right now, make sure you plan wisely as eclipses can deliver sudden news. On February 18th, the Sun enters Pisces, your zone of rest, retreat, and healing. While we’re still a month out from your grand re-opening, having the Sun in this private area of your chart will assist you in clearing out space for what’s to come. Part of this clearing will happen around Mercury’s move into Pisces on the 25th, followed by a powerful Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th. At this times you may be moved to reconnect with Spirit, begin counseling or therapy, or to take a much needed hiatus.

On the 11th, when Venus enters Capricorn, your zone of health and routine, it’s time to make prioritizing a part of your self-care routine.

This could mean moving or relocating to a new place, making some improvements or upgrades to your space, or setting down some better boundaries between yourself and a person (or persons) that you share a residence or property with. Since a transit like this also has a knack for bringing up old resentments or wounds, this may also be a time for you to receive some sort of therapy to help you heal issues with anger.

You’re known around the zodiac as being one of the more tell it like it is signs but since you’re also an adaptable, go with the flow kind of sign, you can sometimes put up with things way past their due date because you don’t want things to get ugly.  The thing is, sometimes you need to face/handle the ugly in order to live authentically. And Mars in Aquarius certainly doesn’t want you sticking with a system, perception, or routine that is no longer working for you. On the 11th, money-loving Venus enters money-loving Capricorn, your zone of income and possessions. With Venus in this zone of your chart (along with Pluto), she will be working to help you attract opportunities that can help you increase your cash flow.

Hint: it may be doing something that’s considered non-traditional or different from your normal. Either way, the money you make now will depend on your ability to be more assertive about your self-worth and what you truly deserve. In other words, this is not a time for settling. One caveat to this transit though: a spike in unexpected expenses. Have some reserves at the ready.

With pent up anger being one of the side effects of this transit, this could be the perfect time to start therapy. By the 11th, when pleasure loving Venus moves into Capricorn, you may feel caught between wanting to stay home and wanting to be social. However, don’t feel daunted.
