Astrology for January 30-February 5 2026

Full Moon in Leo 13º

February 1 brings the full Moon in Leo at 13º and a great deal of feelings to the surface. The full Moon stands across the sky from a massive stellium of planets in Aquarius (Pluto, Mars, Sun, Venus, and Mercury) highlighting themes around the balance between individualism and collectivism. The Moon in Leo is interested in self-elevation and has us looking for ways to shine and express ourselves creatively and authentically in spite of (or in response to) current circumstances. Who can you count on for support? Who can count on you? What groups and tribes do you truly belong to and which of those are finding their completion point now? Conversely, we can see displays of new social groups in our lives coming to fruition. Aquarius deals with humanitarian causes, friend groups, associations etc. Leo deals with individuality, pride, and courage. We are well starred to act courageously and take pride in those actions. The shadow side of this lunation can bring up feelings of being an outcast, ostracized, or other. Pride and ego mixed with intense feelings can run hot and be used to justify unchecked action. From a creative angle, this can be a fertile time filled with inspiration and the courage to put yourself, your art, your products, your business, etc. out there on display. Be authentic. Shine your light.

On February 2, Mercury in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries at 23º. Coming off of the intensity of the full Moon, this aspect is helpful. It allows empathy to join the chat during important conversations. It creates ease and a little more detachment than usual when addressing core wounds or triggers. Again, but from another vantage point, we see the themes of individual (Aries) vs. group (Aquarius). We may be more willing to address imbalances or unmet needs.  

On February 3, Uranus stations direct in Taurus at 27º. Uranus has been traveling through the sign of Taurus since 2018 and this station initiates the last leg of the journey. From now until April 25 when Uranus enters the sign of Gemini, we will be urged to wrap up old chapters around our material world. Taurus is ruled by Venus, currently sitting with the aforementioned squad in Aquarius. Venus rules relationships, finances, joy, and pleasure. The station may inspire wider considerations and innovations when it comes to these areas. As always with Uranus, the changes may come as a surprise. Money, dating, trading etc. is and has been moving digital along with much of the tangible world. What elements are important to keep in the physical? As Uranus stations in a square to Mercury in Aquarius (exact on February 5), we may have new information on the table to consider, important conversations that need to be had, and an urgent confrontation with any fixed perspectives. Stay open to innovation. 

On February 4, Venus in Aquarius sextiles Chiron in Aries at 23º following Mercury’s February 2 sextile. The themes here are similar, but Venus will bring the emphasis of those conversations to include relationships and finances. Venus in Aquarius finds joy through freedom, friendship, and mental connection. The Moon will be finishing up its transit in Virgo today opposing Saturn in Pisces and moving on to oppose Neptune in Aries. While this day has potential for compassion and healing, there is an underlying flavor of making sure we do not overlook responsibilities. Joy can be found through addressing new ways to face the reality of our circumstances rather than old patterns of escapism. A great day to say the thing and get real with self and others.

On February 5, Mercury in Aquarius squares Uranus in Taurus at 27º. As mentioned above, new or unexpected information can surface now. Today is likely a day of confronting surprising information. Uranus is strong after it’s station. Unexpected conversations, messages, ideas, and exchanges are seeking to break conventional thought patterns and outdated loops. Radical ideas start to appear less radical despite our initial reactions. Be honest with what must be innovated. Time to problem solve. New strategies are necessary.
