PUT THESE DATES IN YOUR GOOGLE CAL RN:

  • February 9: It’s time to make more money.

  • February 16: Mercury Retrograde is about to ruin everything.

  • February 23: You’re redefining your identity.


Even if people (read: haters) think otherwise, you’re *always* trying to look on the bright side. Despite your optimism, you have been feeling particularly glum these past few weeks. Maybe 2020 got off the wrong foot? Finally, on February 9, you’ll be able to identify exactly what’s bringing you down: The Full Moon in Leo activates the area of your chart linked to your internal and external value systems. The result is crystal clear: You’re not getting enough money, honey!

If you’ve been feeling undervalued and overwhelmed, you’ll need to renegotiate your rate in order to feel confident in your daily routines. You work hard, Cancer love—make sure your efforts are being appropriately compensated!

But there’s a catch. You need to have any big conversations with your supervisor before February 16, because—you guessed it—Mercury Retrograde is coming. Mid-month, the planet of communication will stop, pivot, and reverse its motion in Pisces’ sky, which means everything related to expression (conversation, travel, transportation) will be skewed. Classic Mercury Rx situations include:

  • running into massive traffic the morning you’re supposed to have a big meeting;

  • misinterpreting your boss’ body language;

  • accidentally sending a top-secret business proposal to your rival competitors.

Ouch! Suffice it to say, you’ll want to proceed with caution through March 9. The road will be bumpy, so don’t let the potholes through you off course.

On February 18, Pisces season begins. Though your zodiac sign is often associated with safety and protection, Pisces energy encourages you to take risks.Obviously don’t do anything crazy (Mercury! Retrograde!)—but trust that your out-of-character thinking actually suits you quite well. When the Moon joins the Sun on February 23, forming a powerful New Moon in Pisces, your emotions will align with your actions.

This is major, Cancer babe. You’re currently in the process of redefining your identity. So don’t judge yourself too quickly. You may not yet understand your new POV, but that’s totally fine. This is the beginning of a brand new cycle, and that’s a very cool thing.
