This month starts off with Venus entering earthy, stable Capricorn on February 3rd. Venus is not at her best in Capricorn; poor timing during the month of L-O-V-E. However, with Mars moving into Taurus on February 10th, we stand to reap a garden of earthly delights.
The theme for February: Super Freaky.
A new moon in free-spirit Aquarius on February 4th and a full moon in Virgo on February 19th heighten the freaky vibes this month. Masks will be shed and we’ll all feel more empowered to live in the open as our realest realselves.
Add Mercury and daydreamy Pisces to the mix and February is shaping up to be anything but boring. Quirky vibes aside, all the earth energy this month is super supportive so lean into it, astro babes. Expect the unexpected!
Cold month, hot vibes. Find a dispensary nearby.
