New Moon in Aquarius, 6 February: your 1st house, annular solar eclipse
The New Moon is exact at 15:56 UTC on Saturday 6 February, at 17°37′ Aquarius, in Aquarius itself: counted by whole signs, your own sign is the 1st house, the house of the self and the body.
The tradition reads a New Moon as a seed rather than a harvest, and the February seed falls in your 1st house, the Hour-marker of the old books: a fresh start in how you carry yourself: a new habit of the body, a changed look, a different first word. Set in your 1st house, the February lunation takes its tone from its sign: Aquarius lends it originality, detachment and a sense of the common good.
This New Moon is also a solar eclipse, a New Moon so close to the Moon’s nodes that the Moon covers the Sun for part of the Earth, and for Aquarius it falls in the 1st house. NASA classes it as annular; for Aquarius its greatest moment, at 16:00 UTC at 17°37′ Aquarius, is the one the tradition counts, and on the central line the ring phase lasts up to 7 minutes 51 seconds. Astrologers read an eclipse in the first house as a year in which other people may meet a slightly different you, because something in how you present yourself is being rewritten. Read the annular solar eclipse for Aquarius in full.
If you want something to do with this February lunation, give the body the appointment it has been waiting for, whether that is sleep, a walk or a check-up you have put off.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Aquarius forecast reads the year by your Sun sign alone. The Road of Ages reads the turning points of your whole life from your own birth date, and shows where you stand on it now.
See the year on your own RoadFull Moon in Virgo, 20 February: your 8th house, penumbral lunar eclipse
On Saturday 20 February the Moon comes full at 2°05′ Virgo, at 23:24 UTC, facing the Sun in Pisces; for Aquarius it fills the 8th house, the house of shared money, intimacy and deep change, from across the 2nd.
A Full Moon is read as an illumination, and the February Full Moon shines into your 8th house, the Idle Place, where it shows a grief or a fear that has been waiting for its turn to be felt. In your 8th house this February, Virgo, mutable earth ruled by Mercury, gives it a careful and practical manner, fond of detail. Read as an axis, from your 8th house to your 2nd, this February Full Moon runs along the axis of what is yours and what is shared: earnings and debts, possessions and trust.
Astronomically the February Full Moon is a penumbral lunar eclipse: the Moon crosses only the Earth’s faint outer shadow, a dimming many people never notice, here in your 8th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 23:13 UTC with the Moon at 1°58′ Virgo in Aquarius’s 8th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. A lunar eclipse across the eighth house is read as a letting go: of a debt, a fear, a bond that has finished its work.
One way for Aquarius to meet it in February: review an insurance policy, a will or a tax matter you have left alone.
Planets changing sign or direction in February
Mercury crosses into Pisces on 1 February and so into your 2nd house. Until 18 February, Mercury in your 2nd house turns the mind toward money: budgets, prices, invoices and the arithmetic of what you value.
Venus enters Capricorn on 3 February, your 12th house. Until 1 March, Venus in your 12th house keeps love private: secret affections, quiet kindness and the pleasure of rest.
Uranus turns direct in Gemini, your 5th house, a slow turn spread over several days. The turn comes around 8 February, at 1°40′ Gemini, and since a slow planet’s turn is felt over weeks rather than on a day, the tradition would look for it in Aquarius’s children, and pleasure and play through February.
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, your 2nd house, appearing to stand still and then move backward through the zodiac for 22 days, until 3 March. The turn comes on 9 February, at 5°58′ Pisces, and Mercury retrograde in your 2nd house is read as a time to recheck budgets, invoices and purchases, and to think twice before spending large sums.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Aquarius on 18 February, returning to your 1st house until 18 March, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in the body and your appearance is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
The Sun enters Pisces, your 2nd house, on 18 February at 21:33 UTC. Until 20 March, with the Sun in your house of money, the season favors practical attention to earnings, spending and what you will not trade away.
Mars, moving retrograde, slips back into Leo on 21 February, returning to your 7th house until 14 May, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in marriage and partnership, and close one-to-one bonds is read as coming back for a second look before Mars moves on.
Love, work and money for Aquarius in February
Venus begins February in Sagittarius, your 11th house, and enters Capricorn, your 12th, on 3 February, turning affection toward secret feelings, private sacrifices and the hidden life of a relationship.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 8th, into Leo (your 7th) on 21 February, so the drive of the month shifts toward business partners, clients and the contracts that bind them.
For money, Mercury arrives in your 2nd on 1 February, Mercury turns retrograde in your 2nd on 9 February and the Sun arrives in your 2nd on 18 February: the house of what you earn and own. Read February as a time for looking at income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses, without expecting the sky to settle the sums for you.
