Weekly Astrology 17th February 2025 Forecast for All Signs
ARIES
Inspiration clears the way
Confidence in your decisions – restored
If it needs to be said – say it
Start your engines, Aries. And fuel them with divinely sent inspiration. You are days away from Mars direct in your 4th – next week. This week offers the opportunity to get to grips with anything that stands in your way between you and forward progress. Without procrastination or fear. Time to have your charisma ready to roll.
However, when it comes to home matters, do be prepared for delays and potentially dealing with difficult family members right up until April. But with the Sun now in your 12th (18th), you now have an entire new set of intuitive tools with which to deal with them. Sometimes, things just have to be said out loud, and biting them back serves no one. The 20th may be one of those days when it’s better said than held in. Plus, the effect could just clear the air.
The day before Mars shifts to forward motion, we have a trine between it and Mercury (23rd). You may have been stalled simply due to a lack of confidence. Your signature self-belief may have left the building. But it was only temporary, Aries. Your access to it is restored. Or a heaven-sent option which beams in seems now like the inspired and obvious decision for you to make. Knowing you’re right is the turbo charge to the confidence you’ve been waiting for.
In a nutshell: What’s been missing these past months is your sass and signature self-confidence when it comes to taking action. With ruler Mars now poised to move ahead next week, you’re back in control. And know you’re making the right choice.

TAURUS
Commit to that revival
Past passions take on new life
Find your audience
Venus is active in your 12th house but preparing to take you on a journey back to your past. Just as the Sun lights up your house of the future (18th). Also like all of us, you’ve been dealing with Mars retrograde in Cancer and your 3rd since December.
Look to what you’ve revived during this cycle. Especially to do with communication projects and plans. That book idea or screenplay for instance. Did you finally take that step and buy that mic to start that podcast you’ve been mulling over? Or when riffling through those old journals, did you stumble upon that goal or business idea you did nothing about?
Mars is the planet of action and ignition. When it’s retrograde that dynamic intention is missing. You may miss the mark or simply run out of steam. But it can and does refuel past endeavours. There’s new life in the old, Taurus.
This week also sees the Sun in your 11th of friends, groups and goals. Mercury’s angle to Jupiter in your 2nd tests whether you and someone else still share the same values. And this could even be your boss or employer when it comes down to the bottom line of how you get paid or are appreciated. The 23rd puts a positive spin on that past project or plan and could lead to the revival I spoke of. Also, watch for who enters your life in the next month. They could be destined to be a big influence on your future path. The same goes for that team, group, club, band, association or company. There’s room being made for you and your ideas, Taurus. Update the past for future results.
In a nutshell: Mining your past could see you unearthing buried treasure which takes on fresh relevance. Especially when it comes to those ideas. Your social sector sparkles. And one connection could just turn out to be fated in ways you cannot imagine, Taurus.

GEMINI
Just who is watching you?
Turns out you are right on the money
Reputation soars
Whether you realise it or not, Gemini, others are sitting up and taking notice. Of you, what you do or bring to the table. And yes, that public image or perception matters now the Sun joins ruler Mercury in your 10th (18th). Jupiter is with you until June, giving you the biggest personal image boost you’ve benefited from in 12 years. And lending you an irresistible aura of attraction. This is a cycle where you need to be very aware of how you work it.
Do know the difference between feedback and criticism however. If it’s the former, it could be delivered by someone whose track record tell you they not only know what they are talking about – but have your best interests at heart. The latter? Chances are this is more about the other party than you.
This is a success cycle like no other not only due to Jupiter’s blessing, but down to the North Node in your 10th. It’s about owning the path you were destined to walk, Gemini. Both in terms of what you are here to do. And who you are here to be with as well. Time to know what you want. And to be a ‘contender’ – not a could have been, to borrow from the classic Marlon Brandon film On the Waterfront. To be that, you have to get serious and project it. IRL and online. The 23rd gives you that opportunity to show others or anyone who has been underestimating you, just what you bring to the table. Follow your instincts now. Turns out they are right on the money when it comes to a winning move. Game on.
In a nutshell: Lean in to a cycle where you can establish something or make a lasting impression. Be aware of your image and how you come across at all times. Others are taking notice and your stock is on the rise, Gemini. Whether you know it or not.

CANCER
Reclaim your mojo
Positivity is restored
No more spinning those wheels!
Sweet release follows stagnation as the Sun lights the path ahead for you as it lands in your 9th (18th). Maintaining a positive attitude or making progress may have felt like pushing $&*! uphill since the start of Mars retrograde back in December. You’ve days left before Mars hands you back your drive next week. But the 23rd sees Mercury also in your 9th align to it, gifting you with a head start. And sees you reclaim that momentum.
Something that has been halted or delayed, suddenly takes on new life. Links to other countries, people overseas, studies or freedom of movement which could go back 18-19 years ago, revive. Take care you don’t default to being closed off or defensive on the 20th. There’s no need if you stop and look at the bigger picture, Cancer.
By mid year you’ve not only made up for the delays, but Jupiter will be with you by then. Again, this could see you travelling, attracting opportunity and also if you are single, entering into one of the most heart-aligning cycles for drawing in that person whose heart is in sync with yours. Hopefully you have embraced this long, drawn out retrograde as an opportunity to get very clear about what you want – and where you want to get to. From next Monday onwards, explore the open road ahead.
In a nutshell: Your confidence or energy levels may have been depleted during Mars retrograde in your sign. The final days before it heads direct again see this restored. Just take it your mojo’s back when it comes to making those decisions. And handing you sexy self-certainty, Cancer.

LEO
Lean in to regeneration
No more underestimating yourself
Release without fear
When your ruler changes signs, you feel the energy shift right away. Think of this as focussing your power on a new area each month. The Sun illuminates, warms and provides the gravitational pull to bring what you want in a given area, closer. It other words, it brings light and life to it.
From the 18th it ignites transformation (inner and outer), your sexy self-empowerment, and your desire to lean in to change. In Pisces and your 8th house, you need to stop underestimating your capabilities or power to direct your life in the direction your heart tells you it needs to go. Next week will see Mars in your 12th begin to power back up and head in your direction. This is when you need to acknowledge any fears you may have around taking action, and simply set them in motion.
Change even that which occurs in our minds, always sees things shake-down. You may decide to let something go around the 20th. Without regrets as Mercury squares Jupiter in your 11th. Anything from a connection to an old goal that has lost its lustre. In its place – you will polish up something that still holds allure and potential for you. Mars retrograde in your sector of the past shows you what still holds relevance and where you can revive that lost passion. Or rediscover your power. It moves direct next week and will hand you a feeling of regeneration. Look to the 23rd to things you now have the power to change – for yourself. And for the better.
In a nutshell: Go deep into areas which are calling out for change. Don’t doubt that you have the resources to make these happen. But keep in mind that all changes begin within. And the only control we have is over our reactions. That’s real power, Leo.

VIRGO
Two hearts, living in just one mind
Beating together, till the end of time
Phil Collins: Two Hearts
With the Sun (18th) and ruler Mercury in your 7th of duos, duets and double acts, it’s a two-soul determining cycle like no other, Virgo. This is due to the presence of Saturn, Neptune and the North Node in here. Which naturally, places the South Node in your sign.
First of all, if you are seeking someone new in this duo-determining cycle, begin by getting to really know you on every level. Take the time to examine your past – especially the choices you made around partners. Any pattern there? What attracted you to then? And more importantly – what did you hope that they would bring to the table? If they didn’t or couldn’t – was this the reason why it didn’t last? The upcoming Venus retrograde will reveal to you you real needs. And not only that – how to get them met. It’s only by knowing ourselves that we can make the right choice. Not just for us – but for the other party as well. That’s good love karma all round.
Ruler Mercury plays a massive role in all of this. As well as an upcoming retrograde of its own which will see it go back and forth across your 8th/7th houses, it will square Jupiter in your 10th (20th), and also trine Mars in your 11th (23rd). Mars is about to power forward in your 11th of goals and connections. We can say Mercury gives it that kick-start. That Two Hearts soundbyte – in just one mind, is your Virgo ideal. Look at whether or not you have it, or have gotten close to it. And then take this next step:
What is it you are looking for, Virgo? Not just in partnerships, but in friendships and support systems as well? This can see the penny drop around a specific relationship. Or with you embracing a new certainty around exactly who or what it is you need. Do be aware – if anything feels restrictive, confining or comes with too many T&C’s attached, you will free yourself from it. Someone could be about to appear who represents your fresh awareness or shows you the importance of being true to yourself, and also self-assertive as part of this process. And if so, they represent the aspect of your subconscious that you’re about to partner up with. Watch how your energy flows in the direction of life enhancing love choices.
In a nutshell: Two hearts can be in sync over so many different kinds of partnership, Virgo. To arrive at this ideal, first work on the one partnership we are in from cradle to grave – the one you have with yourself. All others reflect that. Be there for yourself. One heart – with room for another.

LIBRA
If it works – work it!
What does real self-care involve?
Living is a full time occupation
Work it, Libra! And redefine what you are here to do. It’s a time like no other to devote yourself to the daily business of living you. And to see this as a full time occupation in itself. Self care isn’t some hashtag. It has a real place in your life. That asks you to step up and assume the role of guardian of your body. And to treat it like the temple it is. This goes far beyond scented bath oils. Or switching that daily latte with an extra shot to matcha. How you feel and the business of caring yourself becomes your main priority from the 18th when the Sun moves into your 6th.
Your activities from the work you engage in, to studies, that routine, habits – your lifetime departments all of which need to work together to ensure you function properly. It’s time to stop existing and start living. Shifting those priorities includes that work/life balance and ensuring you have time for the things you love to do – as well as have to do. Look to rescheduling or changing up that lifestyle on the 20th when Mercury also in your 6th, squares Jupiter in your 9th. There is a solution to hand here.
If you have been experiencing difficulties with your boss, manager, co-workers; or your job has changed from free-flowing to just plain hard work, the good news that you only have a week left of Mars retrograde in your 10th. Yes, progress will remain slow-going until April but it will no longer feel as if you are having to make the maximum effort for little or no progress/rewards in return.
Be sure and certain of your place in the grand scheme of things. Elevate your ideas and know you have something important to contribute and say now. Especially with the massive planetary line-up forming in your 6th. Get ready to make changes – to your day job, studies, projects and plans. Go for work that nourishes you – mind, body and soul. Or take steps to create and maintain that. In the next two weeks you’ll get to see how ideas, work and wellbeing can be combined to see you let go of stress, anxiety, pressure etc. Devote yourself to making it work for you, Libra.
In a nutshell: Focus on the small stuff. The paradox is that while it’s all small stuff, it has a big impact on so many interconnnected areas of your life, Libra. Self-care translates to really being able to live. Work it if it works. Or change it up now.

SCORPIO
Capture hearts and minds with your ideas
Weave a magic spell
Get ready for a love reboot!
You have a pleasure preview happening this week, Scorpio. When this happens, it will also mark the end of a period of restriction and status you’ve been in since last December. And if during this time, someone told you they wanted their freedom – they may now change their minds. Or discover freedom isn’t all it was cracked up to be.
A Mars retrograde in any part of your chart isn’t a time when you should make hasty decisions. This is old school rules applied to your old ruler. Mars retrograde in your 9th can lead you or another party, to feel that something is now stale or too confining. And in the rush to escape this, end up with the green, green grass of regrets. Plans made can also fizzle out or come to nothing. And yes, you can be hot and fired up over someone, and then the temperature cools rapidly when Mars moves ahead. Hopefully you have avoided these common Mars retro regrets, Scorpio.
You enter your yearly cycle of bliss and attraction on the 18th when the Sun joins Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and the North Node in your 5th. Keep in mind that the universe operates on a system of exchange. To get something, something else has to be relinquished or let go of. Look carefully at what you need to release on the 20th. But honestly, to gain that freedom that’s not based on simply impulse – this is a fair exchange. It asks nothing you are not willing to give. Or haven’t thought about for a while now.
That preview of what’s the come, what you can have, experience or draw to you next could appear on the 23rd when Mercury trines Mars the day before it heads direct again. This can offer up a tantalising glimpse of a new opportunity. In terms of what you want to have or hold. Fans or followers may feature. As could someone who wants to take one of your ideas further. Be open to invitations that come your way. And look to the upcoming new Moon in here for more than just a preview of what’s on offer for you next.
In a nutshell: A massive planetary line up is forming in your 5th of romance, finding your bliss and attraction. And as old ruler Mars prepares to head direct again, this puts love and partnership matters firmly back on the menu for you. Be ready for some divine dining, Scorpio.

SAGITTARIUS
The change that moves you is coming
Get living space
Tap into the resources you need
Have you been waiting on the world to change? Or at the very least something around your living arrangements, home, apartment, property, lifestyle, moving or a family matter? Changing Rooms and Grand Designs feature and moving ahead is possible from this week onwards, Sag.
From June onwards, restrictions around your home or where you hang your hat will vanish thanks to ruler Jupiter making house room in your 8th. During its transit through this house, it will trine the North Node now in your 4th. Giving you the keys to finding your no place like it. But if you have been dealing with on-going property issues or around your home for the past two years or even longer, this week may well point to the move ahead.
The Sun joins Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and the North Node in your 4th (18th). Does you present living situation or lifestyle allow you to dream big, support you and energise your dreams? Or do you feel drained, confined and like a bird in a too small cage? You now have the opportunity to live in a way which suits you – and not others. And if you feel life has become too confining lately and your gift for stepping fearlessly out into the universe has been diminished, Mercury’s tight grip on ruler Jupiter (20th), shows you how to lift those barriers.
Mars has been retrograde across your 9th/8th houses since December. And heads direct in your 8th next week. Mercury’s trine to Mars from your 4th which occurs the day before Mars fires up, is your point where the wait is over. The engines of change engage when it comes to move or how you want to be living. There’s a strong emotional pull towards an idea or even a place. Follow it through for lighter living.
In a nutshell: Restrictions that have hampered forward movement – or even access to the resources you need, begin to lift this week. A once-in-a-lifetime line up in your sector of home, roots, family and lifestyle offers an opportunity to move towards something better.

CAPRICORN
Ideas work magic
Don’t pigeonhole that connection
Change your message – change your outcome
Prepare to be amazed at the impact what you share, say or send out has now the Sun reaches your 3rd, (18th). It joins a massive line up of cosmic factors in this house – including your ruler, Saturn. At the point when the new Moon appears in here this will increase to six. But for now you have five – Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and the North Node.
Slowdowns may have occurred in partnerships due to Mars retrograde in Cancer and your 7th since December. The good news is that next week, Mars will head direct again. But keep in mind it won’t be out of retro-shade until April. However, the 23rd puts something back on track when it comes to another party as Mercury in your 3rd trines it. It just could turn out to be a misunderstanding, Capricorn. Do re-open the lines of communication.
The same applies to siblings if you have them. Or your neighbours as your 3rd house rules these. A sibling may need support. Or this is an excellent week to tackle work issues. Crush those tasks you’ve been avoiding. Or look to taking steps to find a new position if the one you are in literally no longer works for you. The 20th shows you what requires your attention.
A new connection may emerge for some of you at this time. Please note this is most probably not a romantic one. It may be a working partnership, collaboration or a friendship that feels as if you are brother or sister. And honestly – there’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t be tempted to read more into it than what it is. This person could turn into a source of ideas, fun and support for you. Expand your ideas around just what family or partnerships look like.
In a nutshell: A new connection could feel like the sibling from another mother. There’s nothing wrong with that, Capricorn. Ideas and what you say, share or send out, have that touch of magic. Especially when it comes to clearing up misunderstandings this week.

AQUARIUS
Spend those resources wisely
Invest in your values and self-worth
Love what you have – and it will love you back
Time to focus on what’s yours, Aquarius. Your money and your values. To be protective of these. And also to be there for yourself. The Sun leaves your sign this week (18th). Joining Mercury, Saturn, Neptune and the North Node in your 2nd.
With Pluto in your sign, there are questions of self-control around key areas. And now these shift to how you control what you have or earn. And also your intangible resources and where you spend those. Or on whom. Time, talent, love. All these are extremely valuable. The 20th will show you where you may be wasting one, some or all of these. On what doesn’t add value to your life. Or the undeserving.
Remember – you are in control now. Look to utilising what you already have in a constructive manner. It’s not about what you have per se – although this cycle should see you make gains, but how you use it. We all have money karma whether we know it or not. The key to unlocking it is to care for what we have. And then watch it care for us. Just remember the duo who penned the lyrics ‘I don’t care too much for money’ were both multimillionaires. They clearly cared very much. But at the same time, they loved what they were doing.
It may be time to stop spending on items you don’t need or which fill an emotional void. And go to the source instead – your own sense of self-worth. Instead ask what adds lasting beauty and value to your life? Mars has been retrograde in your house of caretaking, details and devotion. It will head direct again next week. Ahead of this, use the 23rd and the trine between Mercury and Mars to have an audit and see where you can budget better in oh so many areas. This could literally turn into the best investment you can make. Bank on you, Aquarius.
In a nutshell: Look to what you value the most. And at who or what adds lasting value to your life. When you add this up, chances are it’s not about labels, possessions or ‘stuff’. Go from feeling short-changed in a key area to initiating change to attract more of what’s truly valuable.

PISCES
Chart a fresh course to the stars
Adjust your personal settings
Happy birthday, Pisces
The Sun lights up your sign from the 18th. Joining Mercury, Saturn, ruler Neptune and the North Node. It is time to chart a fresh course towards the stars. And see yourself as the brightest one in the sky.
It’s not January 1 which marks the start of a New Year for us. That’s merely a calendar date. Our new year always begins with our birthdays. Which is why astrologers cast us a solar return chart. This is the perfect time for us to set our intentions around what we want to achieve for the next 12 months. And also make adjustments to how we see ourselves – or want to be seen by others. Let the outer us reflect the inner.
You begin a cycle like no other due to the presence of the North Node in your 1st – at the same time as ruler Neptune. This will only happen once in your lifetime. By your birthday next year, while the North Node stays with you, Neptune will have left. Choose who you are – or want to become, and choose your fate. The changes you make now will be energised by the Sun. Think about what these are and time them for the upcoming new Moon (28th).
Mercury’s tight hold on old ruler Jupiter (20th) has you looking at whether or not something is still right for you in terms of the path you are on. Mars which has been retrograde in your pleasure zone since December will head direct in your 5th next week. Ahead of this, something re-engages or captures your attention on the 23rd. It entices or offers up an outlet to express yourself. Look to how it fits in with this new vision you imagine for yourself. Does it match it? Or enhance it? That’s your reason and your season to take a chance and embrace it, Pisces.
In a nutshell: A new cycle like no other begins with the Sun’s arrival in your sign. This is a time when you can adjust your fate and step free of past patterns that have imprisoned you for far too long. It’s a once-in-many-lifetimes opportunity to create your fate. Make it yours, Pisces!
