Love Aspects as Influenced by the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Sun Signs Transits
Fearless Love with Venus in Aries
What’s different about your February love life? You are more direct about expressing your needs. The other relationship planet—Venus—travels in the fiery skies of Aries starting February 4. You’re not holding back; you know what you want and aren’t afraid of expressing or asking for it. Bold and daring, Venus in Aries is an exciting energy, especially if you’re starting to talk to or see a new romantic interest.
On the flip side, this fiery influence can translate into impulsive decision-making. For this reason, February’s planetary alignments advise you to move slowly, especially for those seeking love and relationship readings. This is especially true on the days Venus will be strongly activated: February 8, February 12, February 18, and February 20.
Uranus & Aquarius: A Quest for Freedom
With the influence of wild child Uranus, February’s love and relationship reading spells a yearning for freedom and the desire to break romantic routines. Between February 1 and February 17, the Sun is in Uranus-rules Aquarius, the most individualistic of all zodiac signs. By then, you may realize that lasting relationships need open dialogue, authenticity, and—above all—fun!
Around the February 12 full moon, you might feel a nudge toward dating outside your usual type, especially if you're exploring new connections. However, as Mercury and the Sun enter Pisces—on February 14 and February 18, respectively—your desire for deeper connection returns. Expect to feel lost in a cloud of romantic fantasy!
