February Horoscope:
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The first half of the month, Aquarius, is still your season, which includes Valentine’s Day. However, even if you view the holiday as a cheesy commercialization of love, your romantic side emerges as Mercury enters your sign. This prompts you to openly express your emotions. Furthermore, be prepared for a delightful surprise around the middle of the month, whether it be a promotion or a marriage proposal.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Although the initial days of February may evoke a tinge of loneliness within you, your happiness will soar in the middle of the month as you reunite with friends, possibly on Valentine’s Day. Not only does the latter half of February mark the beginning of your Pisces season, but also brings promising news for your professional life.
