February 2015 Full & New Moons: Full Moon in Leo & New Moon in Aquarius
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism. For information on how the new/full moons may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope. February 3rd 2015 Full Moon in Leo A full moon occurs at 6:09PM ET at 14 degrees 48 minutes of Leo. In Leo, we’re a little dramatic when we’re showing how we feel. We don’t care if we’re making a scene, and like the attention we can get from some emotional outburst. We crave attention, need it like air, and want to be praised for the things we’ve done. We can hear news of an ending or culmination of something for royalty or the entertainment industry. Love is put to the test, and we decide if it’s real and here to stay, or if it’s not and we need to walk away. This full moon trines (positive aspect) transit (moving) Uranus in Aries, and we want to break out of the mold and do things differently with this full moon. Change makes us feel a little bit better, and we don’t think too much about it. If you're a Leo Sun, Moon, or mid-Leo rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most. February 18th 2015 New Moon in Aquarius A new moon occurs at 6:47PM ET at 29 degrees 59 minutes of Aquarius. This is the second consecutive new moon in Aquarius, and at 29 degrees, it’s at the Anaretic degree, a point of tremendous energy. Mercury retrograde has just come to an end in Aquarius, so we could see something leftover from the retrograde that now comes to a breaking point or is finally resolved with this new moon. It could deal with an uprising or rebellion, technology, or something planned for the future. We’re more concerned about the future, optimistic but worried, and want to push things through this very second, but we push a little too hard. We’re either too into what’s different and unique that we shun tradition and it gets us in trouble, or we’re too into tradition and shun anything unconventional and it gets us into trouble. We need to be our true selves, accept there’s a place for both traditional and unconventional methods, and accept that we all live in different ways. If you're an Aquarius Sun, Moon, or late Aquarius rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most. General horoscopes are always meant for entertainment purposes only. For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.
Aries January 2015 Venus enters air sign Aquarius on January 3rd, and you enjoy spending time with your friends, in the groups that you belong to, and championing the causes you believe in. You find it easier to make new friends, attracting people to you naturally that share the same point-of-view as you. You also enjoy thinking about your future, the dreams that you have for your future, and what you hope your future will be like. In love, you’re a little more distant, but can connect with loved ones as a friend, and believe that friendship is an important foundation for any relationship. The Sun joins Venus in Aquarius on January 20th, and you feel most like yourself when you’re with your friends, in a group, focusing on the future, and embracing your individuality. You’re attracted to the unusual, the zany, the weird, and you want to explore the parts of yourself that make you unique. You may come across as more independent, rebellious, or distant. Mercury may make a little mess of things though, as he enters Aquarius on the 4th and will retrograde in Aquarius starting January 21st. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our vantage point here on Earth; it isn’t actually moving backward, it only looks that way because of the way the planets move in relation to us. Mercury retrogrades 3-4 times each year, and tends to throw everything off since he rules communications and technology. With Mercury entering Aquarius early in the month, you’ll want to explore unusual ideas, think outside of the box, and talk things over with like-minded people, but as the retrograde kicks in midmonth, you can avoid anything new or unusual or different like the plague. You have difficulty with your friends, perhaps even feeling that you should walk away from a friendship. You can have trouble in a group you belong to, and feel you shouldn’t belong to it anymore. You have a hard time finding people who you feel think the same way as you do. And you question your future, the dreams and hopes you have, and wonder if you’re not being realistic and should give up. This retrograde is good for reconnecting with old friends, rejoining groups you used to belong to, taking up an old cause again, or getting a second chance at an old dream. Mercury will be retrograde until February 11th, and impact through mid-February. Mars will enter water sign Pisces on January 12th, and your energy starts to wane. You find it difficult to find the energy you need when you need it, and are quickly and easily drained. You need more time alone so you can rest, recharge, and you find you have more energy when you’re by yourself, or for projects that are behind-the-scenes or where no one is hovering over you. The less people demand of you, the better. You do have plenty of energy for your imagination, and can get lost in fantasy at times. Venus will join Mars in Pisces on January 27th, and you enjoy using your imagination, being creative and artistic, and are more compassionate, understanding, and sweet. In love, you’re affectionate only behind closed doors, with no one looking. You can have a secret crush that you fantasize about. A full moon occurs on January 4th in water sign Cancer, and you can finish a home improvement project or settle a family dispute. If trying to buy/sell real estate, you can finalize the deal now, though it’s best to do so before the retrograde kicks in. You’re more in touch with your feelings, and when you’re hurt, it hits you at your core, so you’re more sensitive and may shy away from exposing your emotions to others. Avoid being passive-aggressive when you’re upset. A new moon occurs on January 20th in Aquarius, right around when Mercury begins his retrograde in Aquarius, so this is a good new moon to reconnect with old friends or an old group you used to belong to, take up an old cause again, or take advantage of an opportunity to give an old dream another shot. Best days of January for Aries for Love: 6th, 7th, 8th Best days of January for Aries for Money: 1st, 27th, 28th Taurus January 2015 Your ruler, Venus, enters air sign Aquarius on January 3rd, and you enjoy focusing on your goals, ambitions, and success. You make good impressions on the right people, you get along well with your superiors, and you feel you can accomplish a lot in your career. Even if you don’t work, your goals are important for you, and you feel good when you feel you’re working toward a goal. On January 20th, the Sun will join Venus in Aquarius, and you feel most like yourself when you’re working toward a goal, focused and disciplined, experiencing success, and feel as though you’re getting somewhere in life. Success is more important for you, and you work for success. You’re more traditional, and don’t want to try anything unusual to get what you want, preferring tried-and-true methods. You may come across as more ambitious, practical, and detached. Mercury isn’t going to play nice though, as he enters Aquarius on the 4th and will retrograde in Aquarius starting January 21st. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our vantage point here on Earth; it isn’t actually moving backward, it only looks that way because of the way the planets move in relation to us. Mercury retrogrades 3-4 times each year, and tends to throw everything off since he rules communications and technology. With Mercury entering Aquarius early in the month, you focus on your goals, ambitions, make long-term plans, and are very practical. But as the month goes on and the retrograde starts to kick in, you have a harder time focusing on your goals, and can encounter roadblocks and delays, having to scrap the plans that you’ve made and deal with the problems at hand. You can be discouraged with your goals, feeling that you won’t achieve what you hope. Failure feels worse, and you think the worst about yourself if you fail, having a hard time separating who you are from what you do. Using technology in your work can be difficult, and it’s not the best time if you work in tech, as a writer, or speaker. It’s not a good time for new plans, but it is a good time to revise your plans, or to try old plans that you gave up on in the past. You can also attempt old goals that you gave up on or failed at and want to try again. You may look at the path your life is taking and think you should go down a different path, but now isn’t the best time to make that decision. This Mercury retrograde will end February 11th, and have impact until mid-February. On January 12th, Mars will enter water sign Pisces, and your energy becomes more mental than physical or emotional. You’re driven toward intellectual pursuits, and want to learn more and more, becoming an expert at something. You’re also driven to pursue what you feel makes you an individual, what sets you apart from other people, embracing this part of yourself and trying to do more with it. You need some more space, desiring freedom, and can be a little rebellious. You also want to work toward your dreams for your future, feeling that you can make some headway now. Venus joins Mars in Pisces on January 27th, and you enjoy being your true self, unusual people and ideas, and spending time with your friends or in the groups that you belong to. You enjoy being with like-minded people, and pursuing your dreams. On January 4th, a full moon occurs in water sign Cancer, and you can finish several small projects that you’ve been working on, settle a dispute with a sibling or neighbor, and connect strongly with your thoughts and ideas. You won’t say something if you don’t mean it, and you can express your feelings more easily with others. On January 20th, a new moon occurs in Aquarius, right around Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius, so this new moon is a good time to focus on an old goal, reconnect with an old mentor or boss, make a good second impression, or take up an old plan. This is also a good time to go back to a career you used to work in that you’d like to go back to.

You want to see what the world has to offer you, have little adventures, even if only in your head, and let out your inner adventurer. You’re attracted to new ways of living, and want to learn more about other cultures. In love, you’re fun, don’t want to take it too seriously, keep things casual, and are willing to take a little risk. If single, you’re attracted to those who are from a different background as yourself. On January 20th, the Sun joins Venus in Aquarius, and you feel most like yourself when you’re exploring the world, seeing what’s out there, and expanding your life.

You can come across as more gregarious, adventurous, and optimistic. Mercury might put a damper on things though, as he enters Aquarius on the 4th and will retrograde in Aquarius starting January 21st. A planet is called retrograde when it appears to be moving backward from our vantage point here on Earth; it isn’t actually moving backward, it only looks that way because of the way the planets move in relation to us. Mercury retrogrades 3-4 times each year, and tends to throw everything off since he rules communications and technology. With Mercury entering Aquarius early in the month, you think about all of the adventures you’d love to have, and how you’d like to expand your world. As the retrograde starts to kick in midmonth, you feel stifled, held back, wanting to explore the world but unable to do so, stuck in your own little, boring world. You want adventures and get routine, you want casual fun and get serious work. On the flipside, you can have no patience for exploration, and avoid expansion completely, terrified of it. This can also impact your beliefs, and you’re too defensive of them, unwilling to see anyone else’s point-of-view, or you question them yourself, wondering if these beliefs are true to who you really are or if you’ve been a blind follower. This is a good time to go back to old beliefs, go back to school, or travel to places you’ve been to before. This retrograde lasts until February 11th, and will impact through mid-February. On January 12th, Mars will enter water sign Pisces, and you’re driven to pursue your goals, feeling ambitious and hard-working.

You’re more sensitive to what people say and think about you, and need to ignore them. They probably have a hidden agenda anyway. On January 20th, a new moon occurs in Aquarius, right around Mercury turning retrograde in Aquarius, so this new moon is good for going back to school, relearning something you learned before, going back to old beliefs, or expanding your life in a way you’ve tried before and want another shot at.

With Mercury entering Aquarius early in the month, you’re focused on serious subjects, have an obsessive personality, and are good at research.

You can feel like you’re too bogged down by the seriousness of life, cold hard reality weighing down on you. People seem to be too distant, and you want closeness, but have a hard time feeling close to anyone. You can also have problems with other people’s money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances), and someone calls in a debt you weren’t expecting just yet, or you mishandle a loan, or a business partnership goes sour. The retrograde will last until February 11th, and impact through mid-February. Mars enters fellow water sign Pisces on January 12th, and you’re driven to expand your life in new ways.

No one is really getting a clear picture of what’s happening. A relationship may get put under the microscope, and you feel that it just isn’t working, but now may not be the best time to make a decision. You also have a hard time making compromises, being a mediator, striking a balance, making a decision, and having some peace.

You’re more spiritual and have a stronger intuition, so let it guide you.

With Mercury entering Aquarius early in the month, your mind is active and you feel free to express yourself. As we get to the middle of the month and the retrograde kicks in, this can become a difficulty. You try to express yourself, but it just doesn’t come out right. Misunderstandings are bound to happen, but you swear you’re saying things as you want to. You have a hard time understanding others as well, and wires just keep getting crossed. Issues with siblings, neighbors, your neighborhood, or young people can arise. You can also have trouble with technology or travel of short distances/everyday travel. Mercury will retrograde until February 11th and impact through mid-February. Mars enters water sign Pisces on January 12th, and your energy becomes driven by your emotions. Whenever you feel something strongly, it has an impact on your energy, for better or worse. If you can harness it, you can use your strong feelings to your advantage, and push yourself to do far more than you ever have before. Whenever you feel bad, sad, or mad, try to channel that into something productive, and you’ll see all of the energy you can pull out of it. You’re also driven to spend time with family or the people you think of as family, and to spend time in the places you’re most comfortable, staying squarely inside of your comfort zone. Venus joins Mars in Pisces on January 27th, and you enjoy spending time at home, with family, or in the places or with the people most familiar to you. You crave comfort, support, and encouragement from your loved ones, and will give it right back to them. If single, you want someone supportive and sensitive. If in a relationship, you try to improve the emotional connection. A full moon occurs in water sign Cancer on January 4th, and you can be very serious with this full moon. Your emotions run deep, and you feel more strongly than usual. It’s tempting to let this get the best of you, but you should try to pay attention to what’s driving what you’re feeling, and do something about it. If an issue you hide deep inside of you is being set off, maybe it’s time to bring it out into the light. A new moon occurs in Aquarius on January 20th, right around the start of Mercury retrograde in Aquarius, so this new moon is a good time to revisit old ideas, revise writing projects, reconcile with a sibling or neighbor, redo something in your community, or buy refurbished electronics or a used car.

Aries You want to find the friendship in your romantic relationship earlier in January, and connect with your partner as a friend, if in a relationship. If single, a foundation of friendship seems more important to you now than it has in the past. As the month goes on, you find it difficult to relate to someone you’re interested in or involved with as a friend though, and even your actual friends butt heads with you and can cause needless problems that you don’t want to deal with. Have some patience. Taurus You don’t give your loved ones much time in January, and have too much else going on, especially professionally or with a goal that you’re working on, so you can’t give them the same amount of time as you have been. They may be understanding at first, but if you demand things from them without giving anything in return, they may revolt on you later in the month. If single, be leery of an office romance, especially with a boss or someone promising to take you high places. Gemini You crave intimacy in January, especially during the first half of the month, and will dedicate as much time as possible to your loved ones. If in a relationship, you can become closer with your partner, strengthening your bond and increasing the passion. If single, you want a partner who will be intense, loyal, and have incredible depth to them. Just make sure you’re willing to share as much of yourself as you want them to share with you, otherwise it won’t last. Cancer You focus a lot on your relationships this month, and are willing to share with your loved ones. If in a relationship, you meet your partner in the middle. If single, you want someone fair and charming. Things seem fine during the first half of the month, but then go downhill during the second half, and you feel that you don’t have the closeness with your loved ones that you desire. They may not see it that way though, and you have a hard time getting on the same page. Leo You feel that your relationships are important this month, especially during the second half of the month, but you may be putting more focus on them because things aren’t going so well. Mercury will retrograde (appear to move backward) in your relationship sector mid-January through mid-February, and you have difficulty communicating clearly with your loved ones, or they do with you. You have to be patient with one another and not do anything rash. Virgo You try to be more loving and affectionate during the first half of the month, and find that you’re in the mood to have some fun with your loved ones. If in a relationship, you can be more romantic. If single, you’re flirty and looking for fun. During the second half of the month, you can take things more seriously, and feel ready for commitment. You don’t want to spend too much time alone in January, and are willing to give your loved ones more time and attention than usual. Libra You begin January feeling good, affectionate, romantic, and fun-loving, but it doesn’t last very long. By the middle of the month, you’re getting into it with loved ones, don’t have time for fun, or don’t want to focus on anything silly. You can feel like there’s no love for anything or anyone, and you lack patience for your loved ones as well, but you need to find it, even if you have to fake it, otherwise you’ll find yourself spending a lot more time alone and cold. Scorpio During the second half of January, Mars will be in your love sector, and you have more energy and drive for love. If in a relationship, you’re more loving with your partner, want to have more romantic moments with them, and try to rekindle the magic that you felt when you first got together. If single, you can play the field for a while and see what’s out there for you to sample. You don’t need to take it too seriously, and just let things flow naturally, not pushing anything. Sagittarius You find just the right words to say to your loved ones early in January, and can make them see what you mean with anything. Things change during the second half of the month though, and you don’t know what the right words are anymore. You keep sticking your foot in your mouth, and you have a hard time understanding your loved ones. Miscommunication creates all sorts of problems, and you need to think things through before you say them. Capricorn The full moon on the 4th occurs in your relationship sector, and you can devote a lot of time and attention to your relationships. If in a relationship, you see if things are going well between you, and figure out how you can make things better. If single, you want to be with someone who is committed and loyal, and wants to work on having a good relationship as well. You may be more emotional with your partner, and have to give them more of your support. Aquarius Venus enters your sign on the 3rd, making you loving and affectionate and in the mood for love, but Mercury will retrograde (appear to move backward) in your sign starting midmonth, which could squash the nice Venus energy.

Your heart is in the right place, it’s your head that messes it all up, so don’t think too much.

If in a relationship, you feel that you and your partner are kindred spirits. If single, you want that kind of bond with someone.

For a more accurate view, read your Sun sign, Rising sign, and Moon sign.
Aries You can focus on your career during the first half of the month, working hard toward a goal that you have. You may make progress early, but find that everything slows down to a crawl, or even goes backward, during the second half of the month. Your energy isn’t great either, and seems to escape you as the month goes on. You lack the drive you usually have, and feel that now isn’t the right time for you to do anything important. There will be a better time later. Taurus You want to give all of your time to your goals and ambitions as January begins, and can make a lot of progress in a short period of time, but problems arise midmonth as Mercury turns retrograde (appearing to move backward) in your career sector, and throws everything off. Make sure you have plenty of time to meet deadlines so you can review your work over and over again, and be careful of making a bad first impression on someone important. Gemini The full moon on the 4th occurs in your money sector, and you can deal with financial issues around that time. Finalize arrangements, finish paying something off, and straighten out your finances so you feel more secure. Later in the month, Mars will be in your career and life path sector, so your energy for this area of life increases, and you’re more driven and ambitious. The issue is that your ruler, Mercury, will be retrograde (appearing to move backward), and starting anything new meets resistance. Cancer A full moon occurs on the 4th in your sign, which is usually a time for you to be rewarded for good and smart work, or punished for irresponsibility and bad behavior. It’s a good time to gauge if you need to keep doing what you’re doing or change your approach. During the second half of the month, working with others may be a difficult thing to do, and if you need an investor or help from someone else, it’s like pulling teeth. Try going to people who have helped you in the past. Leo During the first half of January, you can get work done, the smaller tasks and chores that build up, and try to get stuff out of the way. Your relationship issues can take over later in the month, so you’re best time to be productive is during the first half of January. With the full moon on the 12th, use the energy to get rid of things you don’t need. Clearing the clutter in every way means you have less issues to deal with later, and makes it easier when other problems arise. Virgo You start out feeling productive, but then start to lose steam quickly, and are going in the wrong direction come the middle of the month. Mercury, your ruler, turns retrograde (appearing to move backward), in your work sector, and you’re not as productive and efficient as usual, miss the details, and feel off in general. You have to give yourself extra time to get work done, and not be as demanding of yourself as you usually are, or you’ll work yourself to sickness. Libra The full moon on the 4th occurs in your career and life path sector, and this can be the high point of the year for you if you’ve played your cards right, done the homework and research, done the hard work, make good decisions. You can advance far professionally or with a goal that you’re working on. If not, you have to assess the direction your life is going in and see how you can change the path you’re on. Going down a new road can be scary, but necessary at times. Scorpio You can feel that a big idea early in the month is what you should be focusing on, but you need to figure out if it really is a good idea or not, and if it’s really something you can attain. If you feel it is, you need to do your homework and come up with a good plan of action before you rush into anything. You may be tempted to avoid going the traditional route, or go too traditional, so be open to whichever way is best. Let your intuition guide you through the process. Sagittarius During the first half of January, you can focus on your finances, and try to keep them in order. A financial opportunity can present itself to you that you consider, but if you’re going to follow it through, do so early, otherwise it may not be the best time to start anything new. Also watch your spending, and be sure you have enough put away for any issues that may come about so you’re protected no matter what happens. Can’t rely on luck forever. Capricorn You create a good financial plan as January begins, but have a hard time following it by the middle of the month as Mercury turns retrograde (appears to move backward) in your money sector. Old financial issues can come back up again, and you have to figure out how to eliminate them for good this time. You need to make sure you do plenty of research before spending money, otherwise you feel you made the wrong choice. Be cautious financially, but don’t force yourself to be a miser either. Aquarius The full moon on the 4th occurs in your work sector, and you finish a work project or plan. If you’re unhappy with your work, that seems more obvious now, and you consider when the right time will be to walk away. Mars is in your money sector during the second half of the month, and you can make more money but also spend more money, so watch your spending if you don’t want to kill your budget. Mercury will retrograde (appear to move backward) in your sign starting midmonth, and comprehension becomes difficult. Pisces You lack the energy to get much done during the first half of January, but Mars enters your sign on the 12th, and your energy begins to improve. You’re more enthusiastic, driven, ambitious, and energetic, and you can use this to pursue what you want. Old issues from the past might get in the way though, so make sure you’ve cut the ties you need to and shut the door on issues that should stay squarely in the past. Anything that does come up, deal with it quickly and move on. |
