Your Stellar horoscope for the week is here. What do the stars hold for your sign?

February will bring a sense of calm and anticipation as we prepare for Saturn and Pluto’s long-awaited moves into new signs in March.

With the Full Moon highlighting where creative changes can be made, there are opportunities to take practical steps to improve the quality of our lives. Around Valentine’s Day, as Venus (love) and Neptune (sensitivity) converge, new relationships and more spiritual connections are possible. Events in February can provide the building blocks from which dreams can be realised.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20)

When you board a non-stop train, you know you’re going to arrive at your destination. Even if you change your mind somewhere along the line, there’s nothing you can do about it. You might spend the entire journey telling yourself it’s not a great idea and considering all the other things you could be doing, but you know where you’re headed. Similarly, this month, with all the planets moving forwards, the end point of your journey has been chosen (and it’s good). You’re gaining momentum. If doubts show up, ignore them. Enjoy the ride.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)

None of us knows what we were doing before we arrived on planet Earth, or where we’ll be when we leave. We might think we know. But a veil prevents us from knowing with certainty. The veil also prevents us from realising that our immediate future is hidden by similar material. In February, you can lift a corner of that veil and catch a glimpse of what lies ahead. With Mercury in quirky Aquarius, expect to see something inspiring. Trust it – and work to make it real. No matter where you’ve been before, the future looks bright.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 22)

Even if we try our best to be good, honest, law-abiding citizens, no-one has complete knowledge of every law. Indeed, even top lawyers consult past cases to work out the finer details. As with the law of the land, so it is with the law of the cosmos. You might feel confident about what’s possible (and what’s not) in your world – but in February, with your ruler, Mercury, moving into Aquarius, all sorts of impossibilities make their way into your life. The only thing to rule out this month is fear. Set your sights high.

CANCER (June 23 - July 23)

What kind of a month are you hoping for? A stimulating, productive one? Or a demanding, tiring one? It’s likely to be both. We often make the most progress when we’re stretched to the limit. As the full moon links to Uranus at the start of February, it brings a boost of creativity. If you draw on your resources, you’ll find the energy to invest in projects that bring emotional sustenance as well as practical success. Expect challenges, but if you’re committed, the experience will make you stronger and more confident.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)

Not everyone has leadership skills. Luckily, when it comes to challenging situations there are people like you around who can be decisive. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get to work to sort out the scenarios others are bewildered by. This month, if you find yourself feeling uncertain just call on your Leo superpowers. Act with confidence. Even if you don’t get it all right, you’ll be able to move everything and everyone on, out of the messes they seem stuck in.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23)

Although the eight billion people living on this planet are all leading very different lives, we share things in common. We all “need” something. I mention this because you’re someone people turn to to have their needs met. But there are times when you need to focus on yourself. Don’t feel bad about what you can’t do this month; do what you can. With your ruler in Aquarius, you need to give yourself permission to maximise the exciting opportunities coming your way.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)

The idea of a parallel universe has always fascinated sci-fi enthusiasts. And, interestingly, scientists are finding evidence that supports this idea. Imagine a world in which you’re living the same life, but you can make decisions without having to weigh up the pros and cons. Believe it or not, this can be your experience this month. With Mercury in Aquarius, an innovative and logical way of processing your ideas helps you to take big leaps forward.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)

Sometimes our nearest and dearest can be obstacles to our progress. When we do things differently, they feel uncomfortable. Their insecurities can manifest as criticisms that prevent us from experimenting with new ideas. Yet, when we have their support, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. In February, with all the planets moving forwards, the cosmos extends an invitation: you can take steps towards the advancement of a long-held plan. And if you invite people with you on this journey, you’ll find them to be surprisingly supportive.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)

They tell us that when one door closes, another one opens. But does this process work the other way round, too? When we rise to new challenges do we leave problems behind? Although there’s no guarantee that by embracing the future we’ll free ourselves from the past, your optimistic approach – even when facing challenges – has led you to believe that moving onwards, with a sense of hope, is the best way to experience life. This month, if you keep believing and stay hopeful, you can achieve more than you dared to dream.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)

The work ethic is so deeply ingrained in Capricorns that you feel guilty about taking time out. It’s not that you’re concerned about what other people think. It’s that you don’t feel good about yourself unless you can say, with your hand on your heart, that you have done your best. In February, as your ruler, Saturn, prepares to change signs next month, your challenge is to master the art of self-confidence. If you do this, you’ll be able to take real advantage of the gifts coming your way.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)

I’m honoured you’re here for your prediction. I recognise that you’re an important, influential person and I’m flattered you’ve found time to read this. With the full moon in your opposite sign and linked with your ruler, Uranus, your status is going to increase at the start of February. It’s time to get the respect you deserve. Your influence and insights are often taken for granted. But this month, as your efforts are recognised, you’ll be able to adapt your ideas and realise their potential. Enjoy the success.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)

According to creationists, our world took six days to create. It seems, though, that it will take the whole of eternity for its inhabitants to find a way to live harmoniously on it. The new moon in your sign (towards the end of February) gives you the power to bring something new into existence. Your task is to ensure that what you choose to create has a lasting, positive impact. The month brings new interests your way. If you embrace them, with an open mind and heart, you’ll construct something that benefits you long into the future.
