New Moon in Aquarius, 6 February: your 11th house, annular solar eclipse
Saturday 6 February brings the New Moon at 17°37′ Aquarius, exact at 15:56 UTC, and for Aries it falls in the 11th house, the house of friends, hopes and community.
Astrology reads the New Moon as the time to start small and mean it, and in February the small start belongs to your 11th house, the Good Spirit: a seed of hope, which the old books placed in this house above all. For Aries this February, Aquarius lends it originality, detachment and a sense of the common good.
Astronomically the February New Moon is a solar eclipse, because it falls near one of the Moon’s nodes, the two points where its path crosses the Sun’s; for Aries that happens in the 11th house. NASA classes it as annular; for Aries 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 here as the future you hope for coming into sharper focus, along with the people who belong in it. Read the annular solar eclipse for Aries in full.
One way for Aries to meet it in February: give your time to a cause you believe in, even for one afternoon.

Saturday 20 February brings the Full Moon at 2°05′ Virgo, exact at 23:24 UTC, opposite the Sun in Pisces, and for Aries it lands in the 6th house, the house of daily work, habits and health routines.
The tradition reads a Full Moon as a culmination, and the February Full Moon brings it to your 6th house, Bad Fortune in the old books, where it shows a workload that has grown without anyone deciding it should. Set in your 6th house, the February lunation takes its tone from its sign: Virgo makes the mood useful and discerning, ready to sort and to mend. With the Sun across the chart in your 12th house, the February Full Moon speaks along the axis of work and rest: the duties of the day and the retreat that restores you.
This Full Moon is also a lunar eclipse, a Full Moon close to the nodes, when the Moon passes through the Earth’s shadow, and for Aries it darkens the 6th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 23:13 UTC with the Moon at 1°58′ Virgo in Aries’s 6th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. A lunar eclipse across the sixth house is read as the end of a routine, a role at work or a habit that has served its time.
If you want something to do with this February lunation, write down what you actually did at work this week, not what you meant to do.
Planets changing sign or direction in February
On 1 February Mercury moves into Pisces, which is your 12th house. Until 18 February, with Mercury in the house of hidden things, the tradition reads a quieter spell, better for reflection than for announcements.
On 3 February Venus moves into Capricorn, which is your 10th house. Until 1 March, with the lesser benefic at your Midheaven, the tradition reads a favorable spell for career dealings, especially the diplomatic ones.
Uranus turns direct in Gemini, your 3rd 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 Aries’s siblings and neighbors, and short journeys through February.
Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, your 12th house: from the Earth it seems to halt and reverse, the start of one of its 3 backward loops this year, which ends on 3 March. The turn comes on 9 February, at 5°58′ Pisces, and Mercury retrograde in your 12th house is read as a reflective spell: old memories, private thinking and rest that clears the mind.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Aquarius on 18 February, returning to your 11th house until 18 March, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in friendship, and groups and communities is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
On 18 February at 21:33 UTC the Sun crosses into Pisces, which for Aries is the 12th house. Until 20 March, the Sun in your 12th house, the month before your birthday, makes a season for rest, retreat and closing chapters.
Mars, moving retrograde, slips back into Leo on 21 February, returning to your 5th house until 14 May, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in romance and creativity is read as coming back for a second look before Mars moves on.
Love, work and money for Aries in February
Venus begins February in Sagittarius, your 9th house, and enters Capricorn, your 10th, on 3 February, turning affection toward how a relationship fits beside a career, and the public face of a partnership.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 6th, into Leo (your 5th) on 21 February, so the drive of the month shifts toward creative work and any project you care about for its own sake. The Full Moon on 20 February lands in your 6th, a house the tradition gives to work and health.
For money, no lunation or fast planet changes in your 2nd house (Taurus) or your 8th (Scorpio) in February, so the tradition would put the month’s weight elsewhere and leave Aries’s budgets to ordinary prudence.
Questions to carry through February
- Which friendships am I keeping out of habit?
- Is my work using my strength or only my time?
- Who sees me when no one is watching?
