Your February 2024 horoscope is finally here. It feels fair to say that January had no chill, but in an energizing here-to-support-you-in-achieving-your-goals kind of way. There’s nothing casual about February either—this month is for the inquisitive thinkers, the detectives, the people who fixate on a curiosity and don’t let go until they’ve become thoroughly acquainted with the mystery. As a stellium of planets marches through Aquarius this month and makes a series of conjunctions to Pluto, the seed of a new fascination or obsession is watered and encouraged.

Though this isn’t a retrograde, it might feel like one with Mercury in the sign of its fall, combust the Sun, and making conjunctions to Saturn and Neptune. In plain English, this two-week period could present more challenges than usual for travel, communication, and electronics. The vibe is a waterlogged one, so try not to drop your phone in the pool while you’re Facetiming your mom from the hotel, and don’t assume your GPS won’t get weird on you when you’re already late for a flight. This isn’t ideal astro weather for submitting your taxes or getting your point across clearly, and if you’re winging it in a foreign country where you can’t speak the language, expect to feel especially flustered by communication mishaps.
