As The 5th Dimension sang, "When the moon is in the 7th house / Peace will guide the planets / And love will steer the stars." Below, your horoscope for the month of February—including what to watch out for during Mercury's retrograde.

It's the middle of winter, but February is definitely not going to be middle of the road for you, Aries. Weird surprises will be the norm for most of the month, so be open to the unusual. Mercury went retrograde in the social sector of your chart on January 21, creating a temporary period of social chaos. It's nothing you can't handle, but remember to have some extra patience when organizing with your friends and just try to avoid group texts at all costs. While Mercury transits your 11th house of group activities, you will feel trapped in a terminal #TBT, with many figures from the past popping up for a visit. While this could be a welcome change of pace, you may have some interactions with people you would rather block. Use this as an opportunity to try and bridge the gap. Mars and Venus move through your 12th house of magical thinking for most of the month, making your intuition especially strong while turning your focus inward to matters of spiritual and psychological significance. Take time to rest up and center yourself now and you will feel totally reenergized by February 20 when Mars enters Aries.

Since Saturn left Scorpio at the end of 2014, you've been ready to take action on your ambitious to-do list for 2015. Many of your goals this year are likely to be career-oriented, so don't let the temporary retrograde of Mercury in your 10th house of success distract you from attaining your ambitions. You have everything it takes to make this year one of the most productive and positive you can recall, but you have to use the power of intention to make it possible. Negative thinking is a bad habit that a Taurus tends to keep, and it's time to break that cycle. Socially, February will be an extremely active month for you, with the first week of the month providing the most tantalizing events to attend. Be open to taking invitations that you normally wouldn't consider—the barriers in your friendships and acquaintances are breaking down, creating a new scene for you to explore.

A Gemini is always knowledgeable of the latest news, so I'm sure you're well aware that your ruling planet Mercury has been retrograde since January 21. In fact, you have probably been feeling the effects on a daily basis. In 2015, Mercury will have three retrogrades, all of which happen to fall in the air signs, creating a brain storm each time around. Our first retrograde of the year is in the eccentric, provocative, and stubborn sign of Aquarius, which could create some strange situations for you in the first two weeks of February. The best way to deal with this retrograde is to keep a very open mind. See this as an opportunity to discover unusual solutions to problems that seemed impossible to handle with traditional means. You will have potent opportunities to move ahead this month while Mars and Venus both transit your 10th house of career concerns. Both luminaries will be in the dreamy sign of Pisces, which means the bigger your dreams, the more likely they are to come true. Your intuition in professional situations will be strong this month, so go with your gut instinct. The new moon in Pisces on February 18 could be the beginning of a new professional era in your life, so pay attention to all the activity in your inbox that week for news about a new project or commission.

Feelings are flowing as February begins, and despite Mercury's retrograde, they're likely to be pretty positive. Venus, the planet of love meets Neptune in Pisces for a yearly check-in that activates your creative energy and opens up your vision to new realms of possibility. On February 1, check in with yourself on this soulful Sunday night by taking a long bath and listening to some D'Angelo, cleanse the energy of your apartment by burning some Palo Santo and get ready to start the week fresh. You'll really be feeling yourself on the full moon in Leo on February 3, as it falls in your 2nd house of talents and personal possessions. You own everything and all of it is cute! The 2nd house also deals with financial matters, and this full moon falls right next to Jupiter, the planet of good luck, providing a serious chance for improvement to your financial situation. Mercury will continue to be retrograde this month, which might be making you feel a little freaky. You're definitely open to moving out of your comfort zone and sharing a little bit extra while Mercury is in Aquarius. Usually you're a trustworthy confidant, but this retrograde has you feeling loose-lipped, so be careful with secrets shared by friends.

Did you meet the perfect “blizzard bae” only to see them melt away moments after the storm? Are you muddled in a constant state of confusion with everyone closest to you? Mercury has been retrograde in your 7th house of relationships since January 21, and it will continue to cause confusion until February 11. You might be shocked by the weird, unexpected, and provocative behavior that Mercury in Aquarius is promoting amongst your peers. A Leo loves to be in control of their surroundings, but accepting the unusual without question is the best way to stay sane until Mercury comes out of retrograde. A full moon in Leo on February 3 ensures that it's not all cosmic confusion in February. Jupiter, the planet of good luck, in Leo will be right next to the full moon, adding an infusion of positive energy to the moonbeams that will shine down on you. Plan something fun on that night—February 3—possibly a solo celebration, to take your mind off all the wacky weirdness and get centered on your self.

Valentine's Day is a holiday manufactured by the greeting card industry, a fact accepted by even the least cynical soul. You might not believe me yet, but the planets have a very different plan for your V-Day 2015. Venus, the planet of love, and Mars the planet of lust, will be in your 7th house of relationships for the first 20 days of February, making you super lucky in dating and romance. The first three days of February might be the most romantic days of the month while you resonate off the meeting of Neptune, planet of dreams with Venus in Pisces. This yearly event renews your belief in love and reminds you to keep your heart chakra open. Mercury, your ruling planet, will be retrograde while all this positive energy is swirling around you, which means there might be some annoying matters to deal with involving work and co-workers, or dietary habits (in short: cut out the unhealthy snacks!). Mercury's transit through your 6th house highlights all the routines you keep on a daily basis, and it's asking you to question whether they are serving you on a path towards enlightenment, or whether they are simply neurotic distractions.

Let's talk about destiny. Last year, Libra was at the center of several major planetary transits, and your awareness was enhanced by a series of eclipses that put you in the express lane towards your cosmic fate. Now it's time to look back at it, because there's something you might have missed, or perhaps forgot to release—maybe a bad habit or a negative relationship that's holding you back from reaching those ultimate goals. Spend some time meditating on what this could be and I guarantee you will immediately discover the energetic block you're working with. The universe is giving you a month to ditch the negative energy on you own, and if you don't, you will face a spiritual audit when the last Uranus/Pluto square sends out transformative vibes across the zodiac. Balance your focus on macro/micro this month while Venus, your ruling planet, moves through your 6th house of routines. While Venus is in this part of your chart, you will be able to reform unhealthy habits that aren't helping you keep it cute. The first week of February would be the perfect time to sign up for a new spinning class or consider a cleanse that fits your schedule. Be ambitious, but remember to keep your goals realistic so you develop healthy habits you can keep.

Wild and revolutionary ideas are coming to you in the most unexpected moments this month, and you should totally believe in the power they have. Your creative energy is carrying, and you will want to spend every second possible towards realizing all the potential plans you devise. One wonderful source for all this creative energy is the abundant love you are feeling from cute crushes. Sometimes the thrill of a new romantic interest, even if it turns out to be a passing fancy, is all it takes to get you jazzed up about all aspects of existence. You will be feeling untamed this month, but try to reel in your roar because there are professional opportunities available if you put in the work right now. Saturn left Scorpio in December and opened up your world, but when it left your sign, it entered your 2nd house of financial resources, making you feel much more acquisitive than you did before, but you will have to work harder to make the fortune you're after. On February 3, a full moon in Leo falls in your 10th house of success, next to Jupiter the planet of good luck. Use this opportunity to show the universe what you've got and all you will be showered with attention.

You're notoriously known as one of the flightiest signs of the Zodiac because of your thirst for adventure and need for constant excitement and change, but the planetary alignment has shifted, and it's time for you to get focused. You're just beginning to understand the work that Saturn in Sagittarius wants you to do, and February is the perfect time to get deeper in to the task. While Mars and Venus lead a cluster of planets through your 4th house, which rules staying in and getting things done, you'll be able to force yourself to get down to business without distraction. Your ruling planet Jupiter continues to be retrograde until February 11, asking you to expand your perspective and search for greater meaning in all of your pursuits. The full moon in Leo on February 3 falls right next to Jupiter, giving you a connection to a spiritual plane, which is exactly where you want to be right now. This lunar cycle , coupled with Saturn's influence is likely to make you feel super sentimental, which will come as a surprise, because this is usually not in the Sagittarian nature. Go with this flow and indulge the urge to be seriously sappy by reminiscing with old friends this week.

Capricorn is the most direct sign of the zodiac, but sometimes it takes a little bit of sweet talking, rather than an outright demand to get exactly what you want. A trio of planets in your 3rd house of communication allows you to speak with authority while maintaining a subtle sweetness that ensures you will be granted whatever you seek in the first 20 days of February. Your sweet voice will be extremely seductive in the first week of the month, while the power of Venus and Neptune's yearly meeting resonates in the collective consciousness. Your intuition will be strong this week, so trust your instincts and don't be afraid to voice an opinion that has more basis in feeling and emotion than it does in fact. People trust you as a consistently grounded force of reason, so you're allowed to share the weird thoughts you're having right now as a necessary counterpoint to your normal nature. Your ruling planet Saturn entered Sagittarius in December, and you're still adjusting to the new energy. This will be nearly a three-year transit that invites you to explore the deepest reaches of your subconscious. Open up to the cosmic energy!

Have you been feeling really freaky for the past few weeks? Mercury went retrograde on January 21 in Aquarius, giving you every excuse to express your eccentricity. Enjoy this episode (or not) while it lasts this month, before Mercury starts spinning the “normal” way again. Most people consider a retrograde to be a period of mishap, confusion, and general chaos, but this isn't necessarily true for an Aquarian like you. Think of it as a time to get a fresh perspective, and have your preconceptions about reality challenged. It's like that mind-bending moment when you contemplate how a mirror is actually the exact opposite of reality. Or maybe like the first time you smoked Salvia. All planetary influences besides the temporary retrograde of Mercury point to positive things for you this month. A full moon in Leo on February 3 falls in your 7th house of relationships celebrating the close friendships you cherish and pointing to romantic potential. Aquarians have a large social network, but are close with only a small group of people. Tell the people you love the most how much you appreciate them.

February is a really good look on you this year and the wintry realness is giving you a glow that cannot be denied. The first day of the month will be one of the most magical days of the year for you because dreamy Neptune, your ruling planet, has its yearly meeting with lovely Venus in Pisces, giving the week ahead a rosy energy that stimulates you creatively and spiritually. You live wrapped up in a world of dreams, but this week, the dreams will live in your world—the lines are impossibly blurred between fantasy and reality in a beautiful way. You have the power to turn your hopes, wishes, and dreams in to something more permanent in the first three weeks of February. Mars in Pisces is making you feel extra confident, and ready to take on any challenges on your path forward. A new moon in Pisces on February 18 ensures that the energy you feel in February will continue to radiate and grow this year, make sure you take advantage of the powerful manifestation that can take place during this lunar cycle.
