FEBRUARY
HOROSCOPES BY KATIE MILLARD ILLUSTRATIONS BY GRACE SUBLETT
CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 19
Expect turbulence in love, Capricorn. Both Venus and Mars are in your sign, and they may be working in tandem against you. Venus is the planet of love and Mars of aggression, and the two will coincide to create some friction between you and loved ones, especially romantic partners. While disharmony may not be your favorite pastime, it will serve you in the long run. Tension or disagreement will enlighten you toward things that may need fixing and toward things that may not be repairable. These conversations can be hard, but they are necessary, and they will allow you to grow.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, everyone, and just in time for some good astrological news. Venus, the planet of love, is leaving retrograde just as the planet of luck, Jupiter, is entering its home sign. While the stars are aligning for everyone to be lucky in love this Feb. 14, let us dive deeper into what they have to say for you.
THIS MONTH’S SIGN It is your season, Aquarius; live largely and
AQUARIUS JAN 20 - FEB 19 authentically. Your sign is independent, unique,
and unforgettable, and you push everyone around you to live as individualistically as you do. You tend to embrace the unconventional and often stand out in some way. This month, allow yourself to bask a little in the spotlight that tends to follow you. While you are authentic for yourself, not to get attention, people notice you anyway. Let them in a little, Aquarius, and allow yourself to enjoy the positive attention you get. You may meet new people or get a new job in doing so. You never play by the rules, and people will follow where you lead. Expect an exciting month full of new memories, recognition, and opportunities.
PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20
ARIES MAR 21 - APR 19
TAURUS APR 20 - MAY 20
You are lucky right now, Pisces. Jupiter is in its home sign (you) so luck will flock to you. This placement means good things for everyone, but you will be particularly affected. This strength in fortune has not occurred since 2011, so take advantage of it. Now is the time to take risks, especially under the rebellious Aquarius sun. If something sounds crazy or difficult, then now is the time to try it. Trust in yourself and your uniqueness, and good things are sure to come. When trying something crazy, remember to consider the long-term effects because odds are high that it will work out for you. Use your luck wisely, and enjoy taking some risks.
Shoot for the stars right now, Aries. Mars rules your sign, which is currently in Capricorn, a powerful position. This will allow you to pair your natural intensity with Capricorn’s, fueling your drive and ambition. Anything you have been putting off doing should be procrastinated no more. Write that paper, apply for that job, get that tattoo – anything that satisfies your persisting intensity. A busy schedule will fuel you, so add every wild dream to your to-do list and smile as you check them all off. Do as much as you can, and your ambition will be rewarded.
Love is headed your way, Taurus. Venus rules your sign, which is finally exiting retrograde after a year-long stint. Venus is the planet of love and beauty, so expect a charming few weeks. This will bring you new opportunities for love, romance, and potential changes in your physical appearance. With love surrounding you, do not forget to work on falling in love with yourself too. While potential new partners may be alluring, you will be happier and all the more wanted if you can love your reflection as much as you love those around you. Look outward and inward for love and you are sure to feel it.
