In February, we begin another Mercury retrograde, when a planet appears to be moving backwards from our view here n Earth. Mercury will retrograde in the sign of Pisces, and we begin to feel it around February 19th. For the rest of the month, you may see things unravel, secrets come out, old issues come back, and things that you thought were dead and gone suddenly alive and kicking your butt.

On February 25th, a full moon occurs in earth sign Virgo, and you may finish a work project, walk away from your job, resolve a health issue, or change a daily habit.
