Taurus Monthly Horoscope
MONTH OF February
Now that’s more like it! February is the consolation prize for the January wonkiness you endured, Taurus, especially if you were trying to get an ambitious plan off the ground. We’re not saying it was a bad start to 2022, but it could have been a slow or sidetracked one.
The main culprit of that was your ruling planet, Venus, which was bumbling through a six-week retrograde until January 29. With Venus awry in Capricorn and your ninth house of new possibilities, resolutions felt more like pipe dreams than attainable goals. Relationships are impacted by Venus retrograde most, and with communication planet Mercury joining the circus from January 14 to February 3, it was a wonder if anyone actually read your intentions correctly!
So along comes February, beginning with an Aquarius new moon on the first day of the month and kicking off the Lunar New Year. As we shift from heavy Ox energy to the more unpredictable Tiger this February 1, innovation and inspiration ignite. Aquarius rules your tenth house of career and success, and with the Sun here until February 18, you’ve got a beautiful window to make strategic, decisive moves. Yes, Mercury will be “stationing” out of its retrograde, but that shouldn’t stop you from making slow and steady moves toward your goals.
Your romantic life could take an upward spike mid-month. This year, Valentine’s week is powered by a February 16 full moon in passionate Leo AND the exact meetup of love planets Venus and Mars. Since Valentine’s Day falls on an anticlimactic Monday, scoot your celebrations to the second half of the week and bask in those beams with a safe weekend getaway. You’ll also usher in Pisces season on February 18, and the Sun’s refreshing visit to your social eleventh house. Step out of your structured box; collaborate and commune with people who “think different.” New ways of seeing the world will benefit you greatly now, Bull, so keep your mind wide open!
Aquarius season + the Lunar New Year set your sights on big goals
Ready to get down to business? If January scattered your energy and whipsawed your emotions, shake it off. From an astrological perspective, the year is really getting started now. Your ruling planet, Venus, JUST finished a six-week retrograde on January 29. And if that wasn’t enough, mental Mercury has been retrograde since January 14—and will continue its frustrating backspin until February 3.
Translation: No amount of journaling, therapy and project management could keep you organized amidst it all. And that’s okay because February can more than make up for that weird first month of 2022. With the Sun in Aquarius and your tenth house of career, achievement and long-term success until February 18, it’s time to put your eyes back on the prize.
The month begins with a February 1 Aquarius full moon, the perfect day to plot what you’d like to accomplish in the next six months. Set your sights on the August 11 Aquarius full moon for manifesting whatever you start now. What would you like your career to look like by then? What milestones do you want to have reached by late summer? Things could move quickly in your professional life from the start of February, so stay on your toes!
February 1 is also the Lunar New Year, an eve where we bid adieu to the plodding Metal Ox and welcome the prowling Water Tiger. From now until January 31, 2023, it’s not about toiling away from sunup to sundown. Rather, the strategic Tiger is about pouncing on opportunities as they come, looking for unconventional and unexpected entry points. So shake that heavy Metal Ox plow off your shoulders and be ready to strike at any moment.
It’s not that you shouldn’t have clearly defined goals, Taurus. You just want to approach them from novel ways instead of sticking to the same old script. A great day for planning those lofty milestones is February 4, when the Sun makes its annual conjunction with structured Saturn. As the bold Sun and discerning Saturn unite in your career house, you could be offered a leadership position, a promotion or a plum client. The catch? It will probably also require a hefty amount of work and the rewards may not come until later in the year. Consider the long-term payoffs as you evaluate any opportunity early in the month.
At the Sun-Saturn meetup, you may have to do some “adulting,” making a responsible but difficult choice. This can be a sobering moment that puts egos and unrealistic expectations in check. You might even feel a bit pessimistic, unsure if you’ll ever manifest your dreams. Instead of losing hope, just carve this dream into bite-sized class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” action steps. This post breaks down the reverse-engineering process really nicely. Use that August 11 Aquarius full moon as your end date and see what you can come up with—whether your goal is to reduce your cholesterol, add $2,000/month to your income or submit a down payment on a condo.
Mercury retrograde ends on February 3
Sharpen your focus, Taurus! Your New Year’s resolutions got put on pause mid-January, and now the stars hit the reboot button. On February 3, messenger Mercury—the planet of communication, technology and travel—ends a challenging retrograde that began on January 14. Its biggest impact was on your career. From canceled appointments to delayed projects or just feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” it was the interruption to 2022 that none of us needed.
This Mercury retrograde started out in Aquarius, disrupting your professional tenth house before backing into Capricorn and your expansive ninth house. Did you overshoot the mark or bite off more than you could chew? Mercury will correct course on February 3, helping you return to your visionary goals. Now you should have a bit more grounded set of expectations, which will help you roll out those ideas in a manageable timeline. Mercury will remain in Capricorn until February 14, so get your brainstorms and blue-sky sessions on the books! After the 14th, the quicksilver planet moves into Aquarius and your regimented tenth house, a great time to whittle a few winning concepts into a cool project you can build out this year. Hold off on any salary reviews, big pitches and proposals until the second half of the month for best results.
The February 8 Mars-Uranus trclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” ine brings out your irreverent side
Hello, boundary-buster! When iconoclastic Uranus in Taurus zooms into a speedy trine with fierce Mars on February 8, your trailblazing and trendsetting ideas could earn you major “influencer” cred. With both of these go-getter planets in such action-driven parts of your chart, you’re not taking “no” for an answer. Be careful not to bulldoze, but DO stay on your quest to break through any barriers. Mars in your outspoken ninth house could make you prone to blurting out controversial comments, which could leave other people shocked and on the defensive.
Valentine’s Day: Travel in the stars?
All month long, the love planets, Venus and Mars, will be in Capricorn and your ninth house of travel, adventure and new horizons. And with Venus FINALLY out of its interminable six-week retrograde since January 29, you could be eager to make up for lost time—both in the romantic and the suitcase-toting spheres. This year, Venus and Mars will make an exact conjunction two day after Valentine’s Day, and you’ll be feeling this merger all week as you’re tempted to be “anywhere but here.”
At the same time, the almost-full moon will be in Leo and your homey fourth house, the combined effect of which screams “staycation.” Our recommendation? Postpone V-Day celebrations till February 17 and 18 (a Thursday and Friday, which is already an upgrade), when the moon will be in Virgo and your passionate fifth house. From heart-opening conversations to exploring boundless possibilities, you’ll be up for just about anything (and we mean anything)!
Not into the Hallmark fluff? Make like newly engaged Taurus “twin flames” Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly and explore the shadowy realms of your emotions, followed by a captivating boudoir photo shoot perhaps?
The February 16 Leo full moon spotlights home and family
Take a break from empire-building on February 16, when the Leo full moon illuminates your fourth house of home and family, cranking up the cozy vibes. With the love planets also syncing in a sweet conjunction, A domestic matter could need your undivided attention. Thinking of making a change to your living situation? This lunation could reveal the perfect roommate or real estate deal. All that HGTV and “Selling Sunset” watching is paying off, so get to Pinning your dream interiors or saving inspirational pics to Instagram for your new digs, whatever they may be. (Hey, even a new duvet or print for the bathroom can make home your happier place.).
The fourth house spotlights mothers and children, so pay close attention to these relationships under these bonding beams. Get ready for a wave of nostalgia—and for powerful emotions to arise. For some Bulls, pregnancy news (yours or from someone close to you) could even be in the cards. Look back to the Leo new moon on August 8, 2021, for clues of what could come to pass now.
Pisces season lightens the vibe on February 18
On February 18, the Sun starts its monthlong visit to Pisces and your eleventh house of group activity, sparking your collaborative spirit. There’s power in numbers, Taurus, so choose your teammates wisely. With motivated Mars in your fifth house of fame until March 6, you don’t have to share ALL the glory, especially on a pet project. On the other hand, working with a team can take one of your ventures to new heights. Delegate parts of the project to savvy specialists, or road-test your ideas with some out-of-the-box thinkers (even if you ask them to sign a nondisclosure agreement first). They could make valuable contributions!
The eleventh house rules your social life, too, and even though we’re stuck in what seems to be a never-ending pandemic, you can still keep in touch with the people you hold dear. Think live text sessions with your group chat while you catch up on “And Just Like That” (and vent about the characters’ flaws), small gatherings with vaxxed and tested pals instead of big parties, or a good old-fashioned phone date. Staying connected is key, so focus on your community at home and at work.
Valentine’s month gives your love life an infusion of luck and possibility, so roll the dice, Bull! While your sign may be known for playing it safe, both romantic Venus and robust Mars are in Capricorn and your adventurous ninth house, inviting you to take a chance. If you’re in a relationship, stretch beyond the same old and try new thingsclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” , from pandemic-safe travel to mind-expanding workshops. The best Valentine’s gift might be watching a video course from relationship researchers the Gottman Institute (https://www.gottman.com/couples/) together. Getting inspired about a shared interest or crossing something off your joint bucket list will bring you closer.
Single Bulls might fall for someone from a different background or culture, and those contrasts will actually strengthen the chemistry between you! A long-distance connection could heat up, and this month, even the miles and pandemic restrictions won’t stop you from exploring the sparks you feel. If you tend to stay in your lane, give someone who doesn’t conform to your usual type a chance. You could surprise yourself! Find some way to branch out and connect with new people and places.
Do you only talk about the same “safe” and neutral subjects? Stop putting everyone to sleep and start being more authentic. The love planets in your outspoken ninth house give you the confidence to share the quirkier (and more interesting!) parts of your personality.
The year’s luckiest day for love—and the best one for YOU to take a leap of faith—arrives on February 16, when Venus and Mars make an exact conjunction (meetup) in this bountiful zone of your chart. Love could arrive unexpectedly, like when you’re being your most uninhibited. Let your playful, adventurous side out during Valentine’s Week! This Venus-Mars alignment also coincides with a full moon in ardent Leo and your emotional fourth house. You might even shock yourself by how readily you wear your heart on your sleeve.
Big ideas are percolating this month—and with the cosmic combination of luck AND opportunity, you could connect with some heavy-hitting opportunities. The Sun is in Aquarius and your ambitious tenth house until February 18, followed by a monthlong stint in Pisces and your networking sector. This is THE time to make connections that you can cultivate all year long. With motivator Mars in Capricorn and your visionary ninth house from January 24 to March 6, possibilities are percolating!
The February 1 Aquarius new moon opens a six-month window of success, prompting you to start turning those blue-sky visions into reality. It’s an ideal day to start mapping ideas for your 2022 plans (and scrapping the January resolutions that you’re not feeling anymore). Give yourself a few days to let those grand goals emerge, though: Mercury is retrograde until February 3, which can cause you to change your mind (and course) several times over. Booking a strategy session or a difficult but necessary brass-tacks talk? The February 4 Sun-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius puts you in a “lean and mean” mindset, helping you step into leadership and steer any wayward plans back on course.
