New Moon in Aquarius, 6 February: your 7th house, annular solar eclipse
Saturday 6 February brings the New Moon at 17°37′ Aquarius, exact at 15:56 UTC, and for Leo it falls in the 7th house, the house of partners and agreements.
Astrologers treat the New Moon as the month’s quiet beginning; in February that beginning is made in your 7th house, the place the Hellenistic astrologers called the Setting, and it is read as an intention about what you want from the people closest to you, and what you can honestly offer. Set in your 7th house, the February lunation takes its tone from its sign: 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 Leo that happens in the 7th house. NASA classes it as annular; for Leo 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 a relationship asking for its terms to be written again, honestly, by both people in it. Read the annular solar eclipse for Leo in full.
A practice for the February New Moon: say plainly what you want from a partnership, in one sentence.
Beyond the Sun sign
Your Sun sign is only part of 2027
A Leo 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 2nd house, penumbral lunar eclipse
The Full Moon is exact at 23:24 UTC on Saturday 20 February, with the Moon at 2°05′ Virgo and the Sun opposite in Pisces. For Leo the Moon lights your 2nd house, the house of money, possessions and values, while the Sun stands across in your 8th.
The tradition reads a Full Moon as a culmination, and the February Full Moon brings it to your 2nd house, the Gate of Hades in the old books, where it shows the result of a season of earning or saving, for better or for plainer. In your 2nd house this February, Virgo makes the mood useful and discerning, ready to sort and to mend. With the Sun across the chart in your 8th house, the February Full Moon speaks along the axis of what is yours and what is shared: earnings and debts, possessions and trust.
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 Leo it darkens the 2nd house. NASA classes it as penumbral, greatest at 23:13 UTC with the Moon at 1°58′ Virgo in Leo’s 2nd house, a faint shading rather than a red Moon. A lunar eclipse in the second house is read as the end of a financial habit or an old arrangement around what you own.
One way for Leo to meet it in February: write down three things you spend money on, and ask of each whether it still reflects what you value.
Planets changing sign or direction in February
On 1 February Mercury moves into Pisces, which is your 8th house. Until 18 February, with Mercury in the house of other people’s goods, the tradition reads a spell for paperwork about shared money and for honest questions.
Venus enters Capricorn on 3 February, your 6th house. Until 1 March, with Venus in your house of daily work, the tradition reads a spell for making the routine more beautiful and the workplace more humane.
Uranus turns direct in Gemini, your 11th 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 Leo’s hopes for the future, and patrons and allies through February.
Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces, your 8th 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 8th house is read as a time to review shared finances, taxes and insurance, and to reopen a conversation about trust.
Mercury, moving retrograde, slips back into Aquarius on 18 February, returning to your 7th house until 18 March, 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 Mercury moves on.
On 18 February at 21:33 UTC the Sun crosses into Pisces, which for Leo is the 8th house. Until 20 March, the Sun in your 8th house makes a month for shared money, trust and the deeper end of things.
Mars, moving retrograde, slips back into Leo on 21 February, returning to your 1st house until 14 May, 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 Mars moves on.
Love, work and money for Leo in February
Venus begins February in Sagittarius, your 5th house, and enters Capricorn, your 6th, on 3 February, turning affection toward the everyday care two people give each other, and the chores that can sour a home. The New Moon on 6 February falls in your 7th, the house of partners and agreements.
Mars, the planet of effort, moves from Virgo, your 2nd, into Leo (your 1st) on 21 February, so the drive of the month shifts toward your personal initiative and the reputation you carry into any room.
For money, Mercury arrives in your 8th on 1 February, Mercury turns retrograde in your 8th on 9 February and the Sun arrives in your 8th on 18 February: the house of what is shared and owed. The tradition would make February a time to review debts, loans, taxes, insurance and inheritance, other people’s money in your life in Pisces’s house, and leave the outcome to your own choices.
