February 9-15: A Three-Year Cycle Completes

On Tuesday, February 10, Venus enters Pisces, its favorite sign, and for the next few weeks, the universe is giving you full permission to be delusional, romantic, and impractical.

Things get weirder on Thursday, February 12, when Mercury (the planet of communication) bumps into the North Node (the point of destiny) in Pisces. If you get a hunch, follow it. If you overhear a conversation, it was probably scripted for you.

But the main event—the season finale we have all been waiting for—arrives Friday the 13th. In a twist of poetic irony, the spookiest day on the calendar may well be the best day of the year for anyone with a major placement (Sun, Moon, Rising, or Saturn) in Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius. On Friday, Saturn leaves Pisces, ending a 3-year chapter.

Saturn has been transiting Pisces since March 2023, having briefly dipped out last summer before retrograding back to wrap up some business. (Perhaps you felt a bit of an energetic reprieve June-August? As a Pisces rising with a Virgo stellium, I know I did.)

If you’re newer to astrology, Saturn is the planet of karma, restriction, and hard lessons, while Pisces—the final sign in the zodiac wheel—is the sign of dreams and boundless emotion. So the Saturn in Pisces era brought challenges that felt like trying to build a skyscraper on a cloud. We spent the last three years processing old grief, learning to set boundaries in a flood, and generally feeling like we were wading through emotional molasses.

On Friday, Saturn enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. We are trading the cloud for a construction site. Things might get loud, but for the first time in three years, that noise will be the sound of traction.

Here is the breakdown for every zodiac sign. Read your Rising Sign first (it sets the chart), then your Sun if you want the extra credit.

Aries

You are the main character of this transit. On Friday, Saturn enters your sign for the first time in nearly 30 years. This sounds intimidating, but for you, it is actually a relief. You have spent the last three years with Saturn in your 12th House (the subconscious), which felt like driving with the parking brake on. You have been fighting invisible battles and dealing with vague, unnameable anxieties. On Friday, the brake releases. Saturn in the 1st House is Bootcamp Energy. You are trading vague existential dread for a very clear, very ambitious to-do list.

Taurus

With Venus moving into your 11th House of community, you are suddenly the most popular person in the room. People feel magical to you right now, and you feel magical to them. But the real headline is Saturn moving into your 12th House. This begins a two-year cycle of spiritual housekeeping. You are clearing out the closet of your subconscious. It is a time for therapy, deep rest, and finally deleting the phone numbers of people who drain your battery.

Gemini

If your career has felt like a relentless uphill hike since 2023, you can finally put down the heavy backpack. Saturn is leaving your 10th House of career and public image. The pressure to prove yourself is lifting. Even better? Venus is moving into that same sector, bringing charm and ease to your professional life. Your boss is suddenly nicer, your emails are landing better, and you might actually enjoy your job again. You have paid your dues; now you get to collect the rewards.

Cancer

For the last three years, Saturn has been touring your 9th House, testing your beliefs and making travel or education feel like a chore. On Friday, that heaviness evaporates. Saturn moves into your 10th House of career, signaling your CEO Era. You are stepping into a period of high visibility and high authority. The universe is handing you the microphone. Meanwhile, Venus in your 9th House wants you to book a flight somewhere near water. Go have a little romance with the world before you get back to business.

Leo

Congratulations, you have survived the "Financial and Emotional Audit." Saturn has been in your 8th House for three years, restricting shared resources and forcing you to deal with deep psychological plumbing. On Friday, Saturn leaves this intense sector, and your debts (emotional and literal) feel lighter. Venus moves into this same space, bringing a little sweetness to your intimacy. You can finally trust people again without feeling like you need to read the fine print on their soul.

Virgo

You, my friend, deserve a medal. Saturn has been opposing your sign from your 7th House of relationships since 2023. Your partnerships have likely felt like work—either heavy, distant, or just plain testing. On Friday, the test is over. Saturn leaves your relationship sector, and Venus enters it. The vibe shifts from "couples therapy" to "honeymoon phase." Love stops being a lesson and starts being a playground again.

Libra

Saturn is leaving your 6th House of daily grind and health. If you have been dealing with mysterious aches, burnout, or a job that feels like a hamster wheel, the energy is shifting. You are graduating from the "chore" phase. Venus moves into this sector to help you romanticize your routine (think: buying expensive vitamins and actually taking them), while Saturn moves into your 7th House of relationships. You are ready to get serious about who you partner with—no more situationships, only builders.

Scorpio

The creative block is officially lifting. Saturn has been sitting on your 5th House of fun, romance, and creativity, acting like a wet blanket on your spark. On Friday, the blanket is removed. You are getting your mojo back. Venus enters this same sector, making you magnetically attractive and creatively fertile. If you have been waiting to launch an art project or fall in love, the green light is flashing.

Sagittarius

You have felt the weight of Saturn in your 4th House of home and family more than anyone. Maybe you had to move, care for a family member, or deal with childhood trauma that wouldn't stay buried. On Friday, Saturn packs his bags and leaves your living room. The domestic heaviness lifts. Venus enters this space to help you redecorate and turn your home back into a sanctuary, not a fortress.

Capricorn

Saturn is your ruling planet, so his movements hit you different. For three years, he has been in your 3rd House, making communication feel serious and maybe a little blocked. You’ve been choosing your words carefully. Now, Saturn moves into your 4th House of home and roots. You are ready to build a solid foundation—literally or metaphorically. Meanwhile, Venus enters your 3rd House, turning you into a poet. Send the risky text; it will land.

Aquarius

The financial diet is over. Saturn has been in your 2nd House of money and self-worth, forcing you to budget, save, and perhaps question your value. On Friday, the restriction ends. You have learned the hard lessons about resources, and now you are free to build wealth with the wisdom you’ve earned. Venus enters this same sector to help you attract abundance.

Pisces

You made it! Saturn has been in your sign since March 2023, putting you through a personal boot camp. You have matured, you have aged, and you have likely shed an entire version of yourself. On Friday, Saturn leaves your sign for the next 29 years. You are free. The weight on your shoulders is gone. Venus enters your sign at the same time, giving you a cosmic "glow up." You are magnetic, beautiful, and buoyant.
