Pisces
Because the Sun will always begin February in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart before returning to Pisces to begin your birthday month and new solar year, this is a month where the lines between the past, present and future are blurred, but even more so this year. Until the Sun returns to Pisces on 18th February, the final weeks of your old solar year are a time of reflection, for looking back and closing old doors as you wait for new doors to open. This year you won't have to wait, because they are already wide open, thanks to Venus' return to Pisces in the New Year.
By the time Venus leaves Pisces on 4th February she has not only been here for a month but has aligned with Saturn, Neptune and even the North Node as she moved through. The latter all in her final days, with Venus' alignment with dreamy Neptune bringing your desires, hopes and dreams for the future into alignment while for the first time in 17 years, able to lock into the North Node's sense of direction and purpose. Knowing that a retrograde turn early next month will see Venus retrograde back in for another five and a half weeks, gives you the confidence of knowing that this is something you can return to.
With Neptune, the planet of healing and your ruling planet who has been in Pisces since 2012 leaving at the end of next month, this couldn't be more important. Meanwhile, as Venus returns to your income sector to begin the most lucrative months of 2025, she is also preparing for major developments over the coming months, including Neptune's return for the first time in our lifetime. With the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment returning to your career sector on 20th February, a Full Moon in your work sector on 13th February and Mars returning there in February, this is a glimpse into exciting developments ahead across the income, work and career fronts. Meanwhile, with Pluto in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart for the next 20 years, without having to close old doors in order to move on.
Pisces
While this is an important month on both the romantic and relationship fronts, at a time of year when that is not normally the case. There is rarely any planetary activity in either at this time of year and while on the relationship front that is still the case, as the South Node settles into its first full month in your relationship sector, this is a whole new experience. Along with its partner the North Node in Pisces, the lunar nodes are embarking on an 18 month policing of a balance between your own and your relationship needs. As Venus, the planet of love will cross the lunar nodes before she leaves Pisces on 4th February, this will give you your closest sense yet of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you.
At the same time, as you move into the new month Venus is still separating from a friendly aspect to Mars, who retrograded back into your romantic sector early last month. On top of the two months that Mars had already spent here before leaving in September, when he returned two months later it was to spend another four months here. With Mars not leaving until April and Jupiter returning in June to begin your luckiest year for love in over a decade, he has returned to prepare the way. In retrograde motion until 24th February, for the majority of the month Mars will be focused on the past and especially when the Moon moves through from 9th February to 11th February.
While Venus will be gone from Pisces by then, her own retrograde turn early next month will see her retrograde back in to spend even more time with Mars over the coming months. Meanwhile, the Moon will return to your relationship sector from 13th February to 16th February, something that will see it cross the lunar nodes. As well as a chance to become more emotionally engaged and aware, this will give you another chance to check in on what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. This will also be a chance to take advantage of Uranus' first full month back in direct motion in your communication sector.
