For charismatic, adaptable, and curious Gemini: Here’s what you can expect to enjoy, work through, and receive throughout the month of February.
The past few weeks have been offering plenty of opportunities to learn and grow, regardless of how we’ve felt about it. On February 3, the cosmos urges you to take this experience and guidance and let it fully soak in. Going through life on autopilot simply isn’t enough, Gemini. Once you’ve overcome a hurdle, use it as a stepping stone. Why waste all that energy you expended getting through the challenge by walking away from the rewards that await on the other side? Use the auspicious trine between your ruling planet, Mercury, and Jupiter retrograde on February 3 to reflect, absorb, and lock in this wisdom for good. The fact that you can make your own mind up about what happened to you is a blessing, not a curse.
The following day, on February 4, Jupiter returns direct under your celestial domain. This gas giant’s slow, backward trek through your sign has placed a strong emphasis on internal transformations these last few weeks. With Jupiter returning to its forward motion, this energy swings outward. You’ve done the hard work of undergoing emotional maintenance, so to speak. Now, it’s time to get back on the road (or, in this case, your life path). This is undoubtedly an exciting cosmic transition. However, it might not feel like it at first. A challenging square between your ruling planet and the waxing crescent Moon suggests some friction moving forward, likely caused by the discomfort of this state of flux. But it will pass, Gemini.
A particularly potent celestial period occurs starting February 6 through 9 as the waxing gibbous Moon enters your celestial domain and conjoins with Jupiter, fresh out of its lengthy retrograde period. This same waxing Moon also forms a trine with Mercury, boosting the communicative connection between the emotional and logical halves of yourself. Expressing your feelings becomes less challenging. Picking through complex emotions to find the root cause of your conflicts becomes easier. Use this energy to your advantage while it’s here, Gemini. Turn over every stone, and tie up loose ends where you can. The fear of emotional vulnerability pales in comparison to a fate of constantly living in cold, closed-off shadows.
This cosmic call to face your feelings head-on continues with a positive sextile between Mercury and Chiron. The problems we face in the present often have stronger ties to our past than we give them credit for. Life is rarely as novel as it might seem, stargazer. You’ve gotten through similar circumstances before. So, it stands to reason that you’ll be able to do it again. Give yourself the chance to reflect on your past. Consider the ways in which you conquered obstacles that once appeared insurmountable. Focus on your victories, not your mishaps. Be your own cheerleader during this time. Advocate for yourself.
A square between Mercury and Uranus locking into place just after your ruling planet conjoined with the Sun sends an interesting message from the heavens. Considering Uranus’ domain over innovation and rebellious spirits, this tense alignment seems to point toward potential conflict stemming from your breaking of societal expectations. Don’t let this dishearten you, Gemini. We have to break some rules in order to become the strongest, most authentic versions of ourselves. If the status quo you’re pushing up against is actively disaffecting your quality of life, then were they really rules worth following in the first place? You have to do what’s best for you, stargazer. No one else will do that for you.
This month’s full Moon in Leo forms a direct opposition to Mercury, increasing the chances of tension and discord in matters of the heart. As the full Moon heightens our intuition and sensitivities, Mercury increases our desire to speak out about what’s going on inside of us. Depending on who is listening, this might result in some adverse reactions. Hold fast to your values, and remember that the right people will want what’s best for you, even if that means making a minor sacrifice themselves.
Your ruling planet spends the rest of the month in Pisces, increasing clarity and perception. Creativity is likely to increase, and imagination will expand. Keep your heart and mind open during this time, especially around February 20, when Mercury and Jupiter lock into a tense square. Evolution is not always a comfortable process. In fact, more often than not, it isn’t. Still, it’s a necessary part of the journey. Besides, the longer you remain stagnant inside your comfort zone, the less satisfying that will feel, too. In either case, the cosmos pushes you forward. Only one option unnecessarily wastes more of your time.
February 23 ushers in an invaluable problem-solving opportunity as Mercury and Mars retrograde form a tense square in Pisces and Cancer, respectively. Interestingly, both of these celestial domains are elementally connected to water, a constantly flowing and flexible matter. All cosmic signs point to remaining flexible and not attaching yourself too strongly to any one idea or person. The universe is nothing if not ripe with surprises, Gemini. You can save yourself a lot of heartache by not forgetting this.
A conjunction between Saturn and your ruling planet on February 25 increases motivation and discipline. Capitalize on this energy by tackling larger chores, tasks, and obligations. Start on a looming chore, like your taxes, or get a headstart on your spring cleaning. This type of attitude doesn’t come around often. So, make sure not to waste your chance to use it. With Mars returning direct the day before, on February 24, the stars will be practically buzzing with energy as Mars’ aggressive, assertive nature swings back out into the real world. Life is tough. But you’re tougher, Gemini. February 25 is your day to prove it.
We end the month under a new Moon in Pisces, encouraging emotional rest and recharging. Even the best version of yourself requires a break every now and then, stargazer. As you navigate the final days of the month, the stars urge you to take a breather. There will be plenty of time to act in the future.
Thus concludes your monthly highlights. For more specific celestial analyses, make sure to read your daily and weekly horoscope as well. Good luck, Gemini! See you next month.
