The incense is lit, sacred space cleansed, hands washed and ready to dive into this deck to bring you a magical message. It’s time to see what the Universe has in store for you this month.
February begins in the midst of Aquarius season. Mercury Retrograde is serving up some challenging opportunities for new growth and Venus just popped into Aquarius to help you comb the depths of your heart to find exactly what you need to feel more love. It’s no coincidence Valentine’s Day occurs this month.
As the Wheel of the Year turns, we celebrate Imbolc on February 2nd, marking the midway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. That’s right! We’re halfway to spring and the restlessness is starting to set it as we awaken from a wintery slumber still full of Ayurvedic Kapha energy.
If you’ve been feeling the heaviness and dreaming of fresh, green Spring and all of the new growth it ushers in, remember this period is your last chance to restore your mind, body and soul. In order to get the most out of those buzzing Spring fever vibes on their way, you need to be rested and ready to go! Starting the busy season tired is a recipe for burnout.
Let’s see what the cards have to say about it, shall we? Scroll down to read for your Sun, Moon and Rising signs for a well rounded outlook on the month ahead.
ARIES ~ THE HANGED MAN
You’ve found yourself stuck these between a rock and a hard place. While you keep giving and giving, it doesn’t seem to be getting you anywhere. Don’t fret. Snails have to work really hard to get where they’re going. Each journey begins with a single step. If you had a birds eye view of your progress, you’d see you’ve gone a lot further than you realize. Take a second to look around and make sure you don’t miss the incredible view while you’re here.
TAURUS ~ THE DEVIL
Cheeky, cheeky Taurus! You’re feeling the love, or lust more accurately, this month. These winter months might find you hitting the cookie jar or the candy dish pretty hard, or maybe you’re indulging in other ways. The Devil is in the details. Remember every choice adds up, so if you’re going overboard now, you’ll be paying for it later. What are you trying to avoid with this sugar coated crutch? Maybe if you took some time to deal with what’s really bothering you, you wouldn’t feel the need to keep dumping things into the void you feel inside your soul.
GEMINI ~ EIGHT of SWORDS
Time to face those limiting beliefs and fight yourself out of the corner you’ve pinned yourself into, dearest Gem. It’s like pointing a dagger in the mirror, only to reveal your twin is attempting to get your from the other side. Put the weapons down, especially those hot + heavy (and not in a fun way) words away. Own up to your actions and start walking your own talk. You can argue that you are, but if you’re feeling triggered by these sharp, shiny swords, deep down you know it’s true. Find quick relief in talking it out with someone you trust.
CANCER ~ EIGHT of PENTACLES
Look at this glow up, Cancer! This month you’re doing big things. You keep showing up, doing your due diligence and improving your skills all month. While you work on yourself, you never know who you might be inspiring, or attracting. If you’re after more money—trying to get a raise, a promotion, a new job, new clients or break your sales records—keep track of your progress. It’ll be easier to prove to others how far you’ve come since they weren’t there to see your journey. Don’t worry. It’ll all pay off soon!
LEO ~ THREE of CUPS
We know this quarantine time has really put a damper on your social life. The 3 of Cups suggests you’ll be celebrating with your besties this month, whether it’s a Zoom Party or sending each other special Valentine’s presents in the mail, you’ll feel the love this month. Check out Clubhouse or schedule a FaceTime date to get some socializing in when you’re feeling lonely. Make a toast to getting through Level 1 of 2021. Looks like Level 2 will be full of friends, family and fun get togethers one way or another. If all else fails, chill with your ego and talk strategies to make the most of the rest of this year.
VIRGO ~ TWO of SWORDS
Virgo, there’s something bothering you, but we can already tell your wheels are turning trying to work it out. Being logical is your strength, so feel confident in your ability to work through this challenge. Every experience is full of lessons. Maybe you’ve been hiding something you keep trying to ignore. If it’s lasted this long, you already know it’s not going to go away on its own. Face the facts and rip off the band-aid so it can heal once and for all.
LIBRA ~ THE EMPRESS
I know you know how to do this card justice, Libra, and what a lovely card to have for Valentine’s Day and Imbolc! Imbolc actually means “in the belly,” and it’s all about creating Light. These fertility vibes don’t have to represent baby making, but it does encouraging practicing safely, solo or with someone you care about, in whatever ways make you feel good. Releasing blockages in your Sacral chakra can remove creative blockages in your mind, too! Get creative and stimulate your senses with a blindfolded taste test, some unique massage techniques, or read some poetry or just fantasize and daydream. The Empress is invoking a major rebirth in your life. Relax, breathe and let it come to pass.
SCORPIO ~ FOUR of WANDS
This month you’ll be getting plenty of satisfaction, new developments and an abundance of pleasantries. Look at these 4 Wands like the tally marks you use to keep score. Deny it if you want, but we know you like to keep score. Use that skill to your advantage and try to send as many Valentine’s in the mail as possible. Exchange compliments with your IG pals and send lots of quick, short thank you emails to button up your conversations that might have been left on hold. You’ll feel very happy with yourself when you can look back and see all the results and enjoy some enlightening outcomes not even you could’ve predicted. *wink*
SAGITTARIUS ~ PAGE of CUPS
Dear Sag, we know you’re the freewheeling, fun loving, independent type, but even you can be a total softy sometimes. This month, open yourself up to the people you care about and share something vulnerable. You’re inspired by these squishy, smoochy vibes. Go with it! Make, bake or buy some creative loving messages for your favorite people, especially the platonic partners you want to get to know better for business or pleasure. Get in your feels and really let the emotions flow into your favorite creative outlet. Inspiration is awesome, but the way you use it to make something beautiful is spellbinding.
CAPRICORN ~ WHEEL OF FORTUNE
It’s no longer Capricorn season, and you’re feeling the effects. Take a beat. Ground yourself in the midst of this uncertainty and allow yourself to feel comfortable with the changes that have come about in your life recently. There will be many full circle moments and completed cycles this month. But as one door closes, another one opens, and the wheels on the bus keep going ‘round and ‘round! Don’t pause for too long or life will pass you by, Cap. You can’t control everything, so let fate take its toll and learn to loosen up a bit. The only constant variable is change. That’s something you can always count on!
AQUARIUS ~ TEN of SWORDS
You have been working hard, burning that Imbolc candle at both ends, Aquarius! It’s time to sloooooow down when all you want to do is go go go. You’re playing with the home field advantage, but you’re getting defeated on your own turf. You know how to self-sabotage with the best of them, but if you’re feeling drained, give in and take the damn nap! You’re not going to miss too much. What could possibly happen without you finding out about it? It won’t be pretty if you try to push through with the same level of intensity you always seem to muster. No one is going to blame you for resting and sleeping in. The Age of Aquarius is exhausting! Get to bed early. You have a revolution you see through once you’re fully recharged!
PISCES ~ FIVE of WANDS
Love is in the air, but you’ll feel locked in a hyperbaric chamber this month breathing in pure oxygen instead. Sweet Pisces, you don’t have to pick a fight to get the attention you crave this month, but you’re going to anyways. Once you get an idea in your head, it’s happening. Don’t start anything you’re not willing to finish as far as confrontations go. If things have been tense for a while, go ahead and just get it over with already. Communication is uncomfortable something, but staying stuck in a situation that makes you unhappy is worse! Love yourself enough to know what to hold onto and what to let go of for now.
