New Moon in Aquarius, 6 February: your 2nd house, annular solar eclipse
The New Moon is exact at 15:56 UTC on Saturday 6 February, at 17°37′ Aquarius. Counted by whole signs from Capricorn, Aquarius is your 2nd house, the house of money, possessions and values.
At a New Moon the Sun and the Moon stand together, and the old almanacs marked the turn of the month for planting; this February the planting is in your 2nd house, the Gate of Hades, where the tradition looks for a new arrangement with money: a budget begun, a price raised, a habit of spending changed. Set in your 2nd house, the February lunation takes its tone from its sign: Aquarius makes the mood cool and forward-looking, concerned with the group and the future.
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 Capricorn it falls in the 2nd house. NASA classes it as annular; for Capricorn 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 watch the second house at an eclipse for a new source of income or a cost that asks for a new plan, and they read either as a call to steadiness rather than panic. Read the annular solar eclipse for Capricorn in full.
If you want something to do with this February lunation, look at one bill or subscription you have not read in a year.

Saturday 20 February brings the Full Moon at 2°05′ Virgo, exact at 23:24 UTC, opposite the Sun in Pisces, and for Capricorn it lands in the 9th house, the house of faith, travel and higher learning.
Astrology reads a Full Moon as an axis rather than a point, and the February axis runs through your 9th house, the God, showing a teacher’s influence, or your own as a teacher, coming into view. For Capricorn this February, Virgo makes the mood useful and discerning, ready to sort and to mend. Read as an axis, from your 9th house to your 3rd, this February Full Moon runs along the axis of the near and the far: daily words and larger beliefs, errands and pilgrimages.
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 9th house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 23:13 UTC with the Moon at 1°58′ Virgo in Capricorn’s 9th house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. A lunar eclipse across the ninth house is read as the end of a course of study, a journey or a belief you have outgrown.
One way for Capricorn to meet it in February: write down one belief you hold, and the reason you hold it.
Planets changing sign or direction in February
On 1 February Mercury moves into Pisces, which is your 3rd house. Until 18 February, Mercury in your 3rd house is at home in the house of words: messages multiply, errands pile up and learning comes easily.
Venus crosses into Capricorn on 3 February and so into your 1st house. Until 1 March, Venus in your 1st house lends grace to how you carry yourself: a spell when charm comes easily and others warm to you more readily.
Uranus turns direct in Gemini, your 6th 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 Capricorn’s health routines and service through February.
Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces, your 3rd 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 3rd house, the house Mercury knows best, is read as the classic retrograde: misread messages, delayed journeys and conversations worth having again.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Aquarius on 18 February, returning to your 2nd house until 18 March, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in money you earn and possessions is read as coming back for a second look before Mercury moves on.
The Sun enters Pisces, your 3rd house, on 18 February at 21:33 UTC. Until 20 March, with the Sun lighting your house of words, the tradition reads a busy, talkative month, better for learning than for lofty plans.
Mars, moving retrograde, slips back into Leo on 21 February, returning to your 8th house until 14 May, a house it passed through before it turned. What it touched there in shared money and debts, and inheritance is read as coming back for a second look before Mars moves on.
Love, work and money for Capricorn in February
Venus begins February in Sagittarius, your 12th house, and enters Capricorn, your 1st, on 3 February, turning affection toward how you present yourself to someone new, and how much of yourself you let a partner see.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 9th, into Leo (your 8th) on 21 February, so the drive of the month shifts toward investors, commissions, and the money other people place in your hands.
For money, the New Moon on 6 February falls in your 2nd, Mercury arrives in your 2nd on 18 February and Mars arrives in your 8th on 21 February: the house of what you earn and own. The tradition would make February a time to review income, savings, spending and possessions, most directly of all the houses in Aquarius’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
