February Horoscopes

With winter upon us and the new month approaching, it’s about time we see what the universe’s energies have in store for us. If I’m being honest, it seems we all need the most help we can get (especially with midterms and Valentine’s day fast approaching).

Aries

February for the ram is going to be hectic in terms of work load and ~professional~ matters. However, this hectic month will be worth it and filled with a possibility for great accomplishments. The beginning of the month also speaks to bring in a possibility of love coming ones way with Venus beginning its transit in Aries. With that being said, it is time for us born under the sign Aries to get to work for what we want and those we seek.

Taurus

With Mars ruling your love life this month, you may be led astray, or conflict may arise with a partner. While those looking for love should explore every avenue, just go wild as they say. This month might also bring conflict with ones finances; it will require a push on your end to get the money flowing. This whole month has an air of caution for those born under Taurus, from finances to family matters (be careful lol).

Gemini

Disharmony seems to be plaguing your relationships this month; one should try to avoid conflicts as much as possible, from your friends to your career (which should be prosperous this month), to keep a form of balance. The prospect of good health dips a little towards the end of the month, so one should focus on relaxation towards the end of the month (meaning more me time and less grind time).

Cancer

February promises a month of growth and surprising positivity (especially in the latter end of the month). One place that won’t be too positive is family life; there seems to be some strain or imbalance that will occur this month (so basically just ghost them all until March, it's what I would do). Take the growth of this week and put it into your career, spending more time doing your work (but I’d advise not spending that time in the Reg #badvibes).

Leo

Focusing your energy this month should be your biggest priority. Social networking and collaboration (of various kinds) will dominate your life this month—who would’ve thought. Love seems to be your domain with Mars and Venus being a big influence. So, it is about time for you to finally find the partner you’ve been complaining about finding (or if you’re in a relationship, spice things up perhaps).

Virgo

This month will require a balance between your emotions and your physical objectives. To succeed this month, you will have to take into account both your mental needs and physical actions/ambitions. However, once this balance is achieved or at least worked at, the rest of the month in terms of relationships, health, and careers should fall into place. The only advice I have is to meditate (I have no idea how to find a balance, but good luck!)

Libra

This moment is all about the social scene for you. Not that you tend to need the help socially, but Venus, this month, will boost your social prowess and your self esteem (but mostly your ego). Partners from this month may be of further use to follow through with your ambitions (but this is not to insuate manipulation). This month is just screaming a good time for you, Libra. Just don’t get caught up in having too much of a wild time.

Scorpio

This month will be one to focus on emotional issues and issues that focus on those closest to you. It will be a time of self reflection and control; especially, if you intend to work through your emotions. My best advice for this month is to bunker down and wait for March to come; it’s not looking too great.

Image via

Sagittarius

With Mars in your sign this month, those born under Sagittarius will have an abundant amount of energy. All this energy will be required when trying to complete your goals this month (just make sure to focus your energies on the things you truly desire) . The relationships, especially, will require some focus on your part (especially if you want to have someone by Valentine’s day).

Image via

Image via

Capricorn

This month should give you a sense of airiness and direction. Venus this month will bring a romantic feel to your thoughts, but don’t let Mars thwart any relationships you are already scheming up, meaning be aware and communicate. Overall, this month will be one of growing your mental strength to accomplish your goals in the following months.

Image via

Image via

Aquarius

The old, dreadful feeling that might’ve seemed to be following you around should dissipate this month, allowing you some peace. This will also allow for a sense of happiness to bloom in your life. Use this newly found happiness and start forming new connections this week (use that charisma this month will bring to you!!).

Image via

Image via

Pisces

Seems like Mars will introduce a sense of aggression this month, bringing some issues into your professional life. Specifically this month, you may feel a sense of completion in your career area. Luckily for you the aggression Mars is bringing into your life will give you the energy to handle any of the obstacles you come to face this month (just hang in until March, February won’t be that long).

2020 Through the Stars

I hope we are all thankful 2019 is finally over, so we can start again with the same mentalities and goals that we never actually accomplish. Hopefully, this can give you a sense of what goals you should really chase after or who you should chase after this year.

Aries

With the ram’s Mars, the sign’s ruling planet, in the fiery and adventurous Sagittarius at the beginning of this year, you should branch out and jump at a chance to experience something new (or even someone new). After a wild time with Sag, we go straight into Capricorn (start grindin’ boys). The sun will be in our sign from mid-March to mid-April, letting us get our bag while handing out L’s to any of these who try to get in our way. The season is one to be remembered, so be prepared to make moves. While we will have a great time in Aries season, we will also be dealing with Chiron in our sign all year, spelling trouble for our self-proclaimed, life path. However, from early July to mid-December, we’ll get a reawakening of our fire when Chiron goes into retrograde. The year will be spearheaded by Jupiter, giving 2020 a feeling rooted in ambition and growth (what more can we ask for?).

Image via

Image via

Taurus

With Venus entering Aquarius at the beginning of this year, you should get ready to get experimental and open to new ideas. Don’t let your inner bull from stopping you from getting a lil weird this January (or freaky, if the time calls for it). Your ruling sign will experience a retrograde, mid-May to June, so you finally get reflective about your obsession with money and comfort. Taurus, your horns are about to be pulled throughout the year by Uranus, who will be in your sign all year, forcing you be flexible and open-mind. It seems like 2020 will be a learning experience for the bull.

Gemini

With Mercury being your ruling sign, it is time to pay attention to Mercury’s retrograde this year. I am sorry to say (as I do love Geminis), but the retrogrades will be even more exhausting as they pass through the water signs (my least favorite signs, so I give you my sincere condolences). You should also make sure to take advantage of your birthday season, because you’ll be able to see more than most during this time (don’t waste it!). You should make sure to take this year as an opportunity to open yourself up, allow yourself to be free with your emotions and talk through the miscommunications that will occur over the year (you can thank those watery Mercury retrogrades). Overall, this year will focus on the growth of intimacy, learning, and expanding your own horizons.

Cancer

It is time for you to be your number one priority. By paying attention to the moon’s movements, you will be able to better understand your overwhelming amount of emotions. One may feel drawn to one’s family due to the lunar eclipse and full moon occurring in the middle of this month. Just be careful to not reignite relationships that leave you in a toxic headspace. Cancer season this year will be a time of rebirth and rebooting for you; it’ll give you a chance to figure out what’s missing in your life. Your year will focus on emotional support (not surprising at all), intimacy (again, not surprising), and social bonds.

Image via

Image via

Leo

With the sun, your ruling planet, in Capricorn, you will be working for what you want in the beginning of this year. You’ll have to wait until Leo season for things to get really crazy (I mean, if you try hard enough you never have to wait…). Once your birthday season hits, your mood switches to outgoing and playful; you become the life of the party again. One thing to watch out for this year is Chiron in Aries. It might leave you having an identity crisis (like you don’t already). This year for you will focus on partnerships, habits, and work (grind time!).

Image via

Image via

Virgo

The year, with Mercury in Capricorn in conjunction with Jupiter, will bring you a great deal of optimism. It will start you off feeling open-minded and sociable. Due to Mercury being your planetary ruler, you need to watch out for Mercury’s retrograde. It could bring all your socializing to a halt. During this time, intuition will always overcome your logic (especially with the retrogrades going through the water signs). Overall, your year will focus on health, joy, and self-expression.

Image via

Image via

Libra

Venus starts the year in free-spirited Aquarius, quickly followed by a transition into sensitive Pisces in mid-January. The duo gives the beginning of your year a dreamy period of affection and love (a perfect time to get cuffed!). Later in the year, during October, you may face trouble when Venus moves into Libra. This may lead you to put your close relationships before your own health and making you cripplingly indecisive (very Libraesque). Your year will be focused on your creativity, romance, and self-worth.

Image via

Image via

Scorpio

It seems like 2020 going to be your year! Mars will be in Scorpio in the beginning of the year (giving your all-consuming sexual power a new boost). With Capricorn in Pluto, you know what you want and you will fight for it (more than you usually do). You may find yourself trying to reinvent yourself this year, so just let it happen. You never know what may come from it. When it comes to Scorpio season this year, you will be magnetic and oozing confidence. This year seems to be yours for the taking, focusing on the growth of your communications, personal interest, and your mentality.

Image via

Image via

Sagittarius

Another tame year for you Sagittarians, it seems. With Jupiter, your parent planet, in Capricorn, you’ll be working hard all year to achieve your dreams of escaping (basically, you’ll be daydreaming about traveling). During your planet’s retrograde, mid-May to mid-September, it will be time to reconsider your goals and the actions you have taken thus far (thanks to Capricorn’s influence). It seems like your year will be all work and no fun, so I recommend forcing yourself to go to a party from time to time in 2020. Overall, this will be a year focused on the growth of your self-worth, communications, and finances.

Image via

Image via

Capricorn

Carrying over from last year, Saturn still continues to be in Capricorn, so the first quarter of the year will seem fairly familiar to you (basically, filled with your boring complaints about grinding for an elusive “ultimate purpose”). Saturn will move into Aquarius in mid-March, giving pursuits for your coin a more interesting feel with new ideas and actions (maybe make that big investment purchase you keep talking about—idk, just do something wild). Your year will be a focus on the growth of your finances (typical), confidence, and personal outlook (lol).

Image via

Image via

Aquarius

Since last year, your sign has been in stubborn Taurus (so it’s a fair assumption to make that your life feels like the personification of mixed signals). With inflexible energy of Taurus mismatching the experimental energy of your parent planet, Uranus, you should stay conscious of your efforts to stay true to your flexible personality (or risk letting Taurus make you an inflexible bull for the rest of the year). A break will come around mid-August to the end of the year with Uranus going into retrograde, giving you a chance to be the rebel you so need to be. 2020 see you focus on the growth of your spirituality, compassion, and tolerance.

Image via

Image via

Pisces

Neptune, your mother sign, travels through your sign all year, making it very important to do what you do best: dream. You need to listen to your intuition and messages from your dreams (at some point I feel like this is all y’all can do lol), but be very aware of the retrograde of Jupiter occurring from June to November where your dreamy landscape could come crashing down. In the end, you may end up finding yourself picking up the pieces of the facade you created, but you’ll come out with a stronger grip of the reality that's around you. This year will be all about the growth of your dreams, emotional health, and friendships.

Venus Is in Retrograde so Catch Me in Sephora

It’s no secret that I’m a self-professed astrology follower. Like with most people, it started ironically with memes about “Mercury being in retrograde” and how Geminis are literally the worst. But now I’ve become that girl- the one who asks people when they were born so I can know their birth chart (for the record, I’m a sun sign Leo, rising sign Libra, and moon sign Virgo. Roast me.).

It’s become almost cathartic to talk with my friends about their horoscopes. Being able to blame our problems and issues on the stars helps us get through the quarter, and there’s nothing quite as entertaining as searching the signs of a potential significant other. Horoscopes have their faults though—they’re vague to the point where anybody can relate, categorize people, and also keep telling me that my ex and I were the perfect pair. However, that won’t stop me from indulging myself.

Venus is in retrograde right now, up until November 15th. This is the messy time of texting your ex, doubting your bae, and having a few messy flings. Prepare yourself for some messy relationship drama. The world is testing you.

I’ve been coping with this turbulent time by delving head-first into my midterms, leaving people on seen, and catching up with the latest makeup releases.

On the bright side, Milk Makeup is about to release an Astrology Tattoo Stamp if you feel the need to obnoxiously remind others “Hello, I’m a Leo.” Astrology-themed makeup collections have been coming out left and right in the past year or so, with collections such as bH Cosmetic’s well-loved Zodiac Eyeshadow Palette, Bite Lipstick’s monthly Astrology by Bite Amuse Bouche Lipsticks, and the Wet n Wild Zodiac Collection. Companies are definitely taking advantage of the zodiac craze, and it’s working—people love being able to have their own “personal” shade or product made for their sign.

Whether or not you buy into the vague message of horoscopes or not, it’s not hard to admit that these products can be amusing and that seventh week is a rough time.

Until then, good luck, don’t message anybody you shouldn’t, and catch me in Sephora going through my usual shopping therapy.
