Venus in Aries February 2025 Horoscopes for all Signs
From February 4th, 2025 until the end of the month, Venus -planet of cooperation and harmony- will travel through the fire sign of Aries, known for its belligerent and fearless temper.
This transit of mismatched drives and intentions will be active for an extended period as Venus will station retrograde at 10 Aries on the 28th of February, move back into the sign of Pisces on March 28th, and then make her way back to the 10th degree of Aries around May 15th, 2025.
Because of this lengthy journey, in today's post, I'll try my best to cover the themes pertaining to the month of February.
As Venus travels through Aries we will be forced to take a closer look into how we attempt to compromise and cooperate in aggressive environments and impatient situations.
Venus is what is known as a "yin" planet, meaning that she gathers and attracts people, resources, or circumstances passively in our lives, without a need for external action. So, during this longer-than-normal transit, this could mean that more Aries themes of abrupt independence, rushed initiative, and naive decision-making might find their way into our lives whether we're conscious of it or not. She is commonly known as the planet of love, but flirts and steamy encounters are not the only items under her domain.
Venus is about what we value in ourselves, in our partners, and in our family. She describes the value we put in money, our power of purchase, and the value we give to our belongings.
Venus doesn't like spending time in the sign of "yang" action-seeking Aries where she's in her deteriment. But, because she's going to take her sweet time traveling here, we're going to have to come to terms with this uncomfortable dynamic in our lives until she eventually moves to Taurus, her domicile, on June 6th, 2025. This means we'll have plenty of time to learn how to better refine our more or less graceful responses to conflict, self-centredness, and irresponsibility.
During February, Venus will also receive a sextile aspect from Pluto, the outer planet of renewal and self-transformation, which will be active until the 15th of the month. And from then she'll initiate another sextile aspect, this time to Jupiter, planet of abundance, generosity, and hope, which will affect us until the 11th of March. As a result of these interactions, you might notice that your relationships and your ability to find pleasure in life will follow two distinct trends during this month: at first, deepening, intensifying, and transforming, and then light-hearted and expanding. If you'd like to know more about how transiting Venus impacts your birth chart, consider booking a consult (newsletter subscribers get 20% off their first session, don't miss out!).
Without further ado, the following are the horoscopes for the above-discussed transits for each Rising Sign.
Talk soon,

Aries Rising (or Sun):
From February 4th till the 15th you're attracting new friends and collaborators in your life that are slowly helping you realize what your personal goals truly are. You're willing to relate to a new part of yourself through the ideas you're newly exposed to, but by now you should have enough skin in the game to know when to stop before your moral integrity gets compromised. However, if the people you're drawing to you pass your background checks and show signs of some good, old-fashioned discipline, you might be dealing with precious new additions to your inner circle, people who you'll cherish for decades to come.
During the second half of the month, you feel a strong urge to socialize, and this might mean having to carefully trade your energies between work and pleasure so you won't feel like you're lagging behind in the long run. No matter how you choose to approach your calendar, you feel the need for an increase in connections with extended family members and your neighbors. You feel like a social butterfly and you find that in the long run, these pleasant interactions hold the potential for great growth and mutual benefit in the not-so-distant future. These interactions have a distinct entrepreneurial and energizing feeling attached to them, and you need to calibrate how involved you want to be from the get-go so you don't risk burning out over time.
Taurus Rising (or Sun):
During the first half of February, you might find great strength in helping others and a deepened sense of emotional and spiritual awareness. You should be able to translate this through loving gestures and giving support to a loved one. For many of you, this might not be the first time you're dealing with these patterns of lending help. It is crucial that you never let yourself slip into martyrdom, no matter how pure your initial intentions may be. If you choose to give, give freely. If helping makes you resentful, scale it down a couple of notches. If the person you're helping seems to be blind to the sacrifices you're making to try to help them, that's their awareness problem, not yours.
During the second half of the month, there's an increased chance of trying to fix long-standing relationship problems in a rushed and matter-of-fact manner. The tendency here might be to sweep everything under the rug and appease sour moods by bending to their will in the hope that the bad stuff will soon go away. If this is a recurring pattern of behavior for you, try not to rush to find a solution, sleep on the problem for a night or two, and try to envision a solution that doesn't threaten you with financial debt. You might have more tools at your disposal than you are aware of, and you may come to realize that with some creative thinking and deployment of your social, spiritual, and emotional resources you have a chance to shift things around for good and set a new moral standard for yourself.
Gemini Rising (or Sun):
Your emotional sensitivity is heightened during the first time of the month, and you might feel the urge to share your thoughts and perceptions with friends. Sometimes we all need a good soundboard to check the acoustics of our emotional landscape. Try your best to deal with small groups of people and attend only small gatherings until the 15th of the month. Try to stick to quality over quantity, and allow that quality to permeate the creative areas of your life, too.
From the 15th of the month onward, try not to fall into the trap of the "fake it till you make it" motto. Be genuine, but be aware that now more than ever you'll reap what you sow, especially when in larger gatherings and social events. During these days attending spiritual services or group meditation classes will bring you a sense of hope, stability, and direction that might have lacked in the previous weeks and you'll gain the insight needed to make good progress on your personal goals.
Cancer Rising (or Sun):
During the first 10 days of this transit, you might find relief and stability while interacting with people who are older or wiser than you are. You should be able to attract their help by showing more willingness to cooperate in the workplace or during professional gatherings. For many of you, this might be a moment of inner transformation and self-inquiry on existential themes. It is important to play it cool and be deliberate about giving others examples of how you'd like to be treated. You may find that during the first couple of weeks of February, you'll gain a lot by bringing solutions to the table, instead of simply describing the problems at be.
During the second part of the month, The positive momentum you could have gained in the first 10 days of this transit might allow you to coast a little and take a breather for a moment or two. You would do yourself a great service by taking care of yourself through self-love practices, anything ranging from a spa day to quiet prayer by yourself should do the trick. You might want to tend to your energy levels by being mindful of who you're sharing your time with, but make sure you allow some transparency between you and the people who love you the most and have earned your trust.
Leo rising (or Sun):
During the first 10 days of this transit, you might notice an increase in pleasure derived from artistic forms that are usually foreign to you. Exposing yourself to out-of-the-box thinking will result in a greater appreciation for the people and relationships that are already part of your life. You might just learn how you've been shifting the blame and responsibilities in your relationships so that you wouldn't have to confront the more uncomfortable parts of yourself. But as with all works of art, you are never done evolving, either. Your strength will shine as you negotiate a newfound peace and mutual understanding in your 1 on 1 relationship.
From the 15th of the month onward, you might feel the urge to share the improvement you have made in your private life with a larger group of friends. There's a philanthropic current in your get-togethers and you might feel willing to share some ideas that could help your immediate social circles. Don't forget the old saying " tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare": In between "saying" and "doing" there's the whole sea. Great ideas are always worth sharing, but don't forget that implementing them might involve an over-extension of energies on your part that you might not have the reserves for right now. Calibrate your output.
Virgo Rising (or Sun):
From the 4th to the 15th of the month, you'll have an increased sensitivity to the feelings and emotions hidden between the lines of work memos and shared calendars. Instead of reacting in a detached "auto-pilot" way, try to listen to the whole scope of emotions that are transpiring from this impersonal communication and hold back your "receipts". If plans change, chances are that you have already built some flexibility in your schedule to avoid surprises. If you do end up with some extra time in your hands listen and tend to the immediate needs of your body. When we're too wrapped up working for others this basic relationship to ourselves easily ends up on the back burner. A quiet cup of hot cocoa all for yourself might be just the treat you need to recharge.
By the second half of the month, your famous organizational skills might come in handy on social occasions that hold the possibility of steadying and improving your overall social status. Whether your role is party organizer, home cook, or class clown, you'll be able to keep the mood light thanks to your phenomenal sense of humor, fit to dispel any eggy conversations. You'll be able to gain a new perspective on how others appreciate you for who you are and the skills you bring to the table and that might just be the boost your morale needed to reframe the efforts of the past 12 months or so into indisputable improvement.
Libra Rising (or Sun):
During the first couple of weeks of this transit you might need to lean onto your natural skills of appeasing fowl moods and coasting on cordialities even when dark stormy clouds might be gathering at the horizon of your romantic partnership.
During this period, you should take a little time each week to express yourself artistically as a way to let off steam. Anything from martial arts to color-by-number pages can help you let off steam and keep your days running smoothly. As you get back in touch with your hobbies, you'll have time to notice how much you have matured through them and assess how much more time, dedication, and resources you can budget for your interests in the current chapter of your life.
The second half of the month will see your social life picking up with opportunities to get back together with old friends, or making new ones by getting involved in new training courses or lessons. If your schedule gets frantic all of a sudden, try to plan for it. Punctuality is a sign of respect, and right now you might have a deeper appreciation for the mutual benefit that certain friendships bring to the table. You have great knowledge of how to charm people into liking you and agreeing to your vision, if you have secondary motifs for organizing a meeting with someone, make sure they're ready to listen to your proposal before you spill the beans.
Scorpio Rising (or Sun):
The first couple of weeks of February might be unusually stressful for you. If on the work front, the general mood gets on your nerves, make sure you let your emotions simmer down a bit before interacting with your family members or flatmates. It is important to recognize that amongst your inner circle communication needs to stay constant and transparent in spite of stressors related to the work spheres of your life. You have a natural talent for sensing the emotions and needs of your loved ones, make sure their concerns are listened to, especially if you're planning for changes on the domestic front. In case you do plan on remodeling, renovating, or moving houses, make sure you're not the only person overseeing this project. Be thorough in your planning but take into consideration the needs and wants of your whole family.
During the last couple of weeks of February, you'll get a clear sense if your financial plans are a go or a no-go. Whether that's good or bad news for you, it's up to you to decide, the only sure thing is that you'll have an increased knowledge of how you approach the topic of money and investments with others. If you take good notes now on how things went right or wrong, you'll be able to tweak your pitch and strike with increased confidence on the next occasion. If there's something you're good at is to feign stillness in the shadows while you're gathering power and resources to pounce on your desired prey. Good luck!
Sagittarius Rising (or Sun):
During the first 10 days of this transit, you'll get plenty of occasions to reflect on how you have approached the topic of fun until now. You're growing up and maturing and that's showing through your immediate surroundings and the companies you keep. This is prime time for you to become more aware of what fun means to you at this new stage of personal growth. You may not be ready yet to go out and explore, just give yourself a couple of weeks for this type of reflection to sink in and bring fruit. Flip through your memories looking for arts and crafts projects from your childhood, and compare them to the creative ways in which you express beauty and cleanliness (yet another way to tap into your Venusian powers) in your room, and throughout your home. This is a great time to show self-appreciation for the grown-up version of that kid you once were.
The second half of the month is when the new fun experiences start to wiggle their way into your calendar. Of course, taking part in new activities is a great way to get to meet new people, but so far the encounters are just touch and go and light-hearted enough that you get to actually enjoy yourself and these new experiences of creative self-expression without feeling compelled to fall head over heels into a new committed relationship. This is fun for the sake of fun, so don't expect anything more than a welcome distraction from your daily routine.
Capricorn Rising (or Sun):
These first weeks of February will put your home in the spotlight, the value you find in it as a refuge and safe harbor, the joy you feel in sharing it with friends and family, and the pride you take in beautifying it and straightening it up. If you have a clear vision of what you want and are planning to put some serious reno work in your home, make sure to be thorough in the planning phases. Be aware that the restlessness you feel in a space that is just not working for you will probably feel worse during the messy demo and re-building phases. When the time comes, it is important to be emotionally prepared for some upheaval and delays, so budget time on your calendar to deal with that.
During the second half of the month, the routine of your day job and interactions with your peers will bring a sense of calm and pleasure to the mix. You might feel an uptick in motivation and productivity which will inevitably boost your self-esteem. The satisfaction of doing good work is likely to have positive repercussions on the homefront, where the mood is light and bubbly. You might not be making grandiose moves at climbing the corporate ladder, but your peers and bosses will certainly appreciate your cooperation during this time.
Aquarius Rising (or Sun):
You're a champ at knowing exactly with whom to spend your time and how long those interactions are supposed to last. During the first couple of weeks of February, you'll get a chance to learn how to exercise caution in the amount of control you exude in daily interactions, through your words and gestures. If you loosen up a bit you'll be able to experience beauty in your ordinary life and find genuine affection within your everyday interactions.
Beauty and love show themselves in curious ways all around you and you might just notice that they need little to no input from your part to come up in your life. You just need to keep your eyes peeled.
During the second half of the month, you might get the courage necessary to share your creative side with friends and family. If there is a fun project you have been slowly working on it will find true appreciation and support amongst those who have your best interest at heart. If you're not quite ready to share your efforts with others, keep in mind that from the outside your focus can come across as grumpy detachment. Take a break in between tasks if you can, and enjoy the natural beauty of winter: the frost on the trees, the ice shimmering on the water of the harbor, the stunning sunsets, and the big snow-filled clouds. In those small moments, you're likely to find new inspiration and strength to keep your nose to the grindstone.
Pisces Rising (or Sun):
During the first half of the month, you'll have a chance to realize how your fears and thought patterns have shaped your spending habits thus far. You might realize that money is just one of the resources at your disposal to deal with life's problems, and find the strength to exercise saying no to rushed or emotional financial decisions. You should use this time to re-direct your natural ability for compassion inward and attempt to forgive yourself for the bad financial decisions of your past. With this new self-awareness, you are giving yourself a new baseline for what a worthwhile investment looks like in this current season of your life. From the clothes you wear to your method of transportation, make it count, and make it make sense for your budget.
In the second half of the month, you'll get to test the waters of your new financial awareness by practicing restraint from overspending. Surely this is sometimes easier to be said than done, but remember: Status doesn't need to be displayed through a price tag. Try expressing your generosity with your family members differently, spend quality time together, find new activities to shake up the family dynamics, build a fort, have a movie night in, turn all screens off, and have a UNO tournament. The options are almost endless and the new happy memories might help you put the uncomfortable money talk on the back burner for a while longer.
