February, the second month of 2023, comes packed with opportunities to make stuff happen! If you have been waiting for the right time to make your move, the universe is paving the way for your success. All planets are now direct and Venus—the ultimate goddess of love and abundance—will be in Pisces, its strongest position in the sky for most of the month, reawakening our powers of manifestation. 

On February 5, get ready to roar as we welcome the second full moon 2023. Happening in fiery Leo, this lunar event promises some endings, fireworks, and a dash of drama. Themes of freedom, radical change, and unexpected surprises will be rippling through the collective, bringing a wonderful time to step into the unknown and give ourselves permission to dance to the rhythm of our own drum. 

Starting February 11, communication and commerce guru Mercury will be in Aquarius. This planet-sign combination helps our minds work at their best, filling them with creative, groundbreaking new ideas. The last two weeks of February are ideal for brainstorming new projects and processes to put in place in the year ahead.
