February 2022 Aquarius Horoscope

2022 had a rough start, that's for sure. After a sequence of rather turbulent years, being greeted with the double retrograde of Venus and Mercury right away did not make this year feel like it's going to be any different.

That couldn't be farther from the truth.

January and February are merely a lesson on not judging a book by its cover (or maybe the first chapter also). With that said, February 2022 could still be a little shaky, considering some of the tension from January is still being cleared. On the bright side, right as we enter the month on the 3rd, Mercury stations direct, finishing his retrograde cycle, and Venus will be slowly but surely picking up her pace. All of this action is happening in your 12th house, one of the places in a given chart that deals with seclusion, loss, and the spirit realm. You'll notice that this house will continue to play a prominent theme throughout the month as a hefty amount of planets will be transiting through it. This could mean that, especially around Mercury's station, you may need to spend some time alone to process some of what happened in January. This is because, chances are, it was quite the grim month, but as the resilient Aquarian survivor that you are, you just powered through it without giving too much thought to the mental health repercussions of such events. It's time for self-care.

On that same day, another quite important transit will also be happening in your 1st house of self and identity. Both Saturn, the ruler of your sign, and the Sun will conjoin there, generating some exciting results. The energies of these two planets are quite contrasting, as the Sun is hot and vibrant, and Saturn is cold and sluggish. You might find that because of this transit, you'll phase through these different states of being. It's important not to push yourself too much, especially if you're an Aquarius who was born at night. Saturn can be somewhat challenging for night births, especially when it appears in such an important place in your chart, such as the 1st house. It would be wise to take the time to rest and find the light of the Sun through a brief separation from the external world so that you can think on the next course of action that feels the most authentic to you. The year is sure to start picking up after February, so take this period of inactivity as a blessing in disguise. For the Aquarius born during the day, however, you may experience more of the Solar aspects of this transit. You may find that people will look up to you as a source of wisdom around this time. Embrace it, but don't let them suck up too much of your energy. You still need to recharge.
