It’s officially February; a petite 28-days compared to January’s 31-weeks.

Last month was tragic, challenging, and—often—shocking. (Remember when TikTok service was throttled for 12-hours, only to reveal itself as a propaganda machine the morning of Inauguration Day?!)

Pluto in Aquarius continues to make its presence known; a reminder that the revolution is now a non-negotiable. And, during our last Coven Meeting in The Constellation Club, we explored what would happen if we didn’t let exhaustion deter us from the excitement and hope.

What if we imagine the revolution as one that will make life objectively better?

What if we imagine the revolution as one that will propel prosperity? Abundance? Balance? Harmony? Whatever it is you’re looking to generate?

Let’s tap into that potential, friends. Not to sound corny, but the future is really ours to create. So rest, recharge, and don’t let the fatigue calcify into complacency. That’s what they want to happen. And we won’t let it :)

This week unfolds with a sense of acceleration—Mercury sparks expansive thinking, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, and Venus enters Aries, making its presence loud and unmistakable. But amidst all this forward motion, Mars Retrograde rages on, stirring emotional undercurrents and reminding us that action isn’t always linear.

Monday, February 3: Free Your Mind (And The Rest Will Follow)

The week begins with Mercury in Aquarius forming a trine to Jupiter in Gemini at 11º, a mind-expanding aspect that fuels intellectual curiosity, big-picture thinking, and inspired conversations. This is an excellent day for ideas to click into place, plans to take shape, and words to kickstart big movements. With both planets in air signs, there’s a breeziness to this connection—quick exchanges, exciting possibilities, and an eagerness to absorb new perspectives.

Later in the day, however, Mars Retrograde in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries at 19º, pressing on old wounds and activating frustration. Mars in Cancer struggles to assert itself with directness, preferring passive or protective actions, while Chiron in Aries demands raw honesty and courage. This square may bring up insecurities around emotional expression, making us aware of where we still hesitate to take action. If something feels particularly sensitive or triggering, see it as an opportunity to tend to the deeper layers beneath your reactions.

Tuesday, February 4: Venus Blazes Forward & Jupiter Gets Good Again (Blessed Be!)

In the early hours of Tuesday, Venus leaves its watery Pisces exaltation behind and strides boldly into Aries. Venus in Aries doesn’t wait for permission—it initiates, pursues, and desires unapologetically. This marks a shift from soft, dreamy romance to something more impulsive, passionate, and direct. In Aries, Venus values independence and excitement, favoring bold declarations over subtle gestures. If things have felt stagnant in love or creativity, this transit brings the heat, urging us to move toward what ignites us. But keep in mind! We’re swiftly approaching one of 2025’s most important happenings: Venus Retrograde begins on March 1, so we’ll have one more journey back into Pisces’ domain (backwards, then forwards again) in the coming weeks.

Shortly after, Jupiter stations direct in Gemini, ending its retrograde journey that began all the way back in October (!!!), allowing for more externalized growth and expansion. Jupiter has spent months retracing its steps, refining ideas, and reevaluating beliefs—but not without some unpleasantries. It’s not lost on me that Jupiter is in its determent in Gemini, and we’ve certainly been feeling the dark side of that pairing. Check out what I wrote back in May 2024:

Jupiter in Gemini will also shine a light on the intersection of social media and political campaigns. 2012 was an election year, and it was arguably one of the first years that social media was being utilized as a political tool. In 2024, we find ourselves in another election year coinciding with Jupiter in Gemini, except now, social media is a vastly different landscape. As you navigate political content—or any content, for that matter!—in the coming months, be especially mindful of misinformation, disinformation, and manipulation. Approach all the information you receive with a healthy dose of skepticism. Fact-check data to the best of your abilities. Return to your core values as you sift through deliberately confusing rhetoric and determine where you stand.

Ahem!

You can read the full assessment of Jupiter in Gemini here; it will continue to move through this zodiac sign until June (!), so there’s lots more to learn about this placement.

But, starting this week, Jupiter finally gets back on track—and there’s a sense that projects, ambitions, and opportunities can start to gain traction. The themes of Gemini (communication, learning, and adaptability) take center stage, encouraging us to say yes to what feels promising. Ideas that have been marinating since October may finally find an outlet, conversations that once felt stuck or circular now have clearer direction, and the momentum needed to take action is slowly building. With Jupiter’s forward motion, we’re reminded that knowledge is power—but only if we use it wisely. This is a moment to embrace curiosity, seek out fresh perspectives, and trust that growth comes from being open to new ways of thinking.

Friday, February 7: Things Get Edgy & Intriguing

On Friday, Venus in Aries forms a sextile to Pluto in Aquarius at 2º, adding depth and intensity to relationships, desires, and creative pursuits. This transit enhances magnetism and influence, making it easier to forge powerful connections and attract what we want. Venus in Aries is bold on her own, but with Pluto’s undercurrent of transformation, there’s an opportunity to move beyond surface-level interactions and get to the heart of what truly matters.

Saturday, February 8: The Chiron Healing Path

The weekend brings a double sextile to Chiron—first from the Sun in Aquarius, then from Mercury. Sextiles are delightful, auspicious aspects that create opportunities for insight, healing, and fresh perspectives. Likewise, the Sun’s connection to Chiron helps illuminate personal and collective wounds, offering a moment of self-awareness, while Mercury’s sextile adds language to this process, enabling us articulate even the most complex POVs. This is an excellent time to reflect, journal, or engage in honest conversations about personal growth.

Sunday, February 9: Cazimi Clarity & Mars Finds Its Anchor

On Sunday, the Sun and Mercury unite at 21º Aquarius, forming a cazimi (pssst, this term refers to a conjunction with the Sun), marking a moment of pure clarity. This is a download of insight, a mental reset, a revelation. Mercury in the heart of the Sun amplifies truth, logic, and awareness, making it an ideal time for breakthroughs and bold declarations. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make a decision, don’t be surprised if you’re finally ready to charge forward by the end of the week!

Shortly after, Mars Retrograde forms a trine to Saturn in Pisces at 18º, lending stability to an otherwise turbulent retrograde cycle. This is where effort starts to pay off, where patience is rewarded, and where long-term strategies begin to make sense. Saturn tempers Mars’s impulsiveness, offering a structured way forward. Though Mars is still retracing its steps, this trine reassures us that progress is happening—even if it’s not as fast as we’d like.
