February 2024 brings us 29 days to play with, making it an extra special and powerful month of the year.
All through the month, we have zero major planets in retrograde, making it a great time for taking action and moving forward. We also get a surge of motivating and fiery energy coming through, thanks to Mars and Pluto.
February also brings one of the most profound energetic alignments between Chiron and the North Node. This incredibly rare and auspicious alignment can bring deep healing. Hopefully, we can see this deep healing energy ripple out to communities and countries that need it the most.
We also move into the final sign of the zodiac this month, helping to bring a full-circle moment into our lives.

Astrology February 2024
February 2 & 22: 222 Numerology
February 2nd and 22nd, bring us the number codes 22 and 222. 22 is a Master Number in Numerology, and on these days, we can tap into its energy with greater ease. 22 is the Master Builder number, which is all about working together to create. 2 is the number of partnerships and coming together to achieve a common goal, so 22 and 222 activate more of this energy. These are good days to focus on creating healthy relationships and thinking of ways to work together to build our dreams. People are often willing to help, sometimes we just have to ask.
February 9: Aquarius New Moon
This is a very Aquarian New Moon! Aquarius is the sign of the free thinker, and we are likely to find ourselves stepping into this role. We may find ourselves longing to create more freedom, or we may feel the urge to be more of our true, authentic selves. The energy of change is also active around this New Moon, so we may find that something shifts abruptly. While Aquarian energy can bring freedom, change, and innovation, it can also be a little harsh and impersonal. We may have to be careful of offending or being insensitive to the feelings of others. The influx of unsteady energy may also have us feeling a little on edge, but our task is to release control and ride with the flow. Chariklo, the asteroid of Spirit Medicine, is also active under this New Moon, indicating a wave of healing energy. This is further amplified by the meeting of Chiron and the North Node in the coming days. We have strong waves of healing energy flowing in from this New Moon, so even though there is some unsettling energy around, we can still set intentions around our healing journey. Ask for Chiron and Chariklo to bring a softening and to guide you to the right medicines you need to restore balance.
February 9/10: Lunar New Year
We celebrate the start of the lunar new year. In Chinese astrology, we also enter the year of the Yang Wood Dragon. The Year of the Dragon is said to be a prosperous and lucky one, where we can rise up into a new power. Dragon energy can bring strength, perseverance, and intelligence. We can channel the energy of the dragon to get things done, to be productive, and to find the strength needed to move through our challenges. The element of Wood is connected to the season of Spring, making this Lunar New Year one where we can plant seeds and set intentions around what we wish to create. This is also supported by the fact that we are in a Number 8 year in numerology. 8 is also a very creative number that can heighten our manifestation efforts. This is a good time to pay attention to the thoughts and the energy you are putting out into the world for what you emit, you get back.
February 11: Chiron Conjunct the North Node
This is one of the highlight events of 2024! The North Node indicates our collective future and where we are heading. It is perhaps a predictor of what we should all be focusing on and where we need to head in order to keep progressing to the highest level of consciousness. Chiron is the asteroid of the wounded healer. Chiron doesn’t pretend that it doesn’t have wound and traumas, instead it channels them into powerful portals of wisdom, intuition, and teaching. Chiron reminds us that we can learn, grow, and blossom from our wounds, and that our wounds can be sources of healing and power in our lives. With Chiron and the North Node coming together, it seems there is a healing or a need for all of us to step into our healing powers. Hopefully, under this alignment, we will begin to see the end of suffering in communities and countries that are in need. You can read more about this amazing alignment here.
February 13: Mars Enters Aquarius and Conjuncts Pluto
Mars enters Aquarius, joining Pluto at the powerful and sacred 0-degree point of the zodiac. This energy will linger for a few days and bring a rise of power and passion. We can channel this energy into our projects and goals and wherever we need more motivation. We can also channel it into a new exercise or self-care routine. Think of this energy as a spark that you can use to bring more fire to an area of your life. This energy however, can also be a bit harsh and volatile. If there are tense situations, this alignment can bring more heat, causing things to overflow. We may experience power struggles or clashes with others. On a global level, this planetary combination can sometimes bring protests or violence.
February 16: Venus Enters Aquarius and Conjunct Pluto
Now it’s Venus’s turn! Venus enters Aquarius and aligns with Pluto at the powerful and sacred 0-degree point of the zodiac. This is an incredibly powerful energy that we will feel over the coming days. Venus is the planet of Love, and as it enters Aquarius and joins with Pluto, we can feel a surge of love energy flowing into our higher chakras. Venus in Aquarius teaches us to love and accept others for who they are, rather than trying to make them into something they are not. The more we can embrace someone’s true authentic self and help them to shine bright, the deeper our love can grow. Venus and Pluto are also a power combination, indicating success in partnerships, especially monetary success. Venus and Pluto however, can also bring power struggles when it comes to relationships and a need to assert and stand in our power. It’s time to take back control of who we want to be, and how we are showing up in our relationships.
February 18: Sun in Pisces
Pisces season begins! Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac, so this is our final chapter before we begin a new trip around the Sun. We may feel a sense of closure, endings, and completion. We may also feel that we have reached a full circle moment where we are able to look back and appreciate the journey we have traveled. Pisces is a very soft, intuitive, and creative energy, so we may be feeling extra creative or even emotional on this day. Spending time in creation mode, with loved ones, and by the water are all great ways to embrace this beautiful Piscean energy.
February 23: Mercury in Pisces
Mercury, the planet of communication, moves into the sign of Pisces. With Mercury in Pisces, communication and our thinking process can feel a bit scattered. We may be feeling extra indecisive or have a hard time pinpointing how we truly feel about something. This is our opportunity to go with the flow and to trust our hearts over our minds. If you are feeling this scattered energy, try to imagine energy flowing from your head into your heart and lower chakras.
February 23: Venus and Mars Conjunct
The two cosmic lovers come together on this day! This is a wonderful energy for bringing the divine masculine and feminine energies into balance. Work on creating this balance in your own mind, body, and soul by setting intentions around your masculine energy and your feminine energy. Perhaps spend time meditating on what those qualities mean to you. This is also a great time for love and relationships. The energy of Mars and Venus combined helps us to bring more of a balanced approach when it comes to seeking out a partner. It is also interesting that Venus and Mars meet at 8 degrees of Aquarius. The 8th degree of Aquarius is said to bring the freedom needed to achieve our goals and highest vision. You can read more on this here.
February 24: Virgo Full Moon
We have a beautiful Full Moon in the sign of Virgo! This may feel like a bit of a heavy Full Moon, but that is only because Saturn is hovering near, and Saturn wants us to take responsibility for our actions and how we truly feel about something. Saturn is the Master Teacher of the zodiac, he wants us to level up and step into our highest karma, so very often he brings challenges to keep us moving and growing. We may feel these challenges rising up under the Full Moon. It will be important for us to set boundaries and to keep coming back to this idea of responsibility. The Full Moon falling in Virgo makes it soft, sensitive, and a beautiful time for getting in touch with our emotions. It is also a good time to focus on our routine and how we can create a daily schedule that supports our health.
February 28: Sun Conjunct Saturn
The Sun and Saturn come together for their annual alignment. Mercury is also adding its energy to the mix too, giving this year’s alignment a little more flair! The Sun and Saturn coming together help us to appreciate the lessons that Saturn is trying to instill in our lives. As mentioned earlier, Saturn is our Master Teacher and is considered to be the planet of Karma. He brings us the hard lessons, but never anything more than we can handle! On this day, our lessons from Saturn can start to feel a little more like gifts. On each Saturn lesson that we master, we grow in strength and wisdom. Pay attention to the lessons and teachings that the Universe has been delivering to you. Honor how far you have come, and keep in your heart that life is truly a beautiful journey of growth.
February 29: Leap Day
A leap day is an extra day of the year to bring the calendar into the correct alignment, however, this extra day can have us feeling scattered and all over the place! We can feel a little energetically off-center, however, we can also channel this to our advantage. Think of this extra day as an opportunity to leap forward in an area of our lives and to play catch up on all that we need to do. After all, it is an extra day to play with! You can read more about the Spiritual significance and special Numerology of a Leap Day here.
