Get ready for a new month (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
January may have been a slog for you, but it’s finally on its way out.
February’s arrival signals new beginnings in a different way, as the days gradually get longer and we start to see signs to springtime.
It’s also a month that’s free of retrogrades, so you don’t need to worry about Mercury or Mars messing up your plans.
We’re currently in Aquarius season, which represents doing things differently and helping others, while Pisces season comes in a few weeks to give us a hit of dreamy reflection.
With a little tarot magic, you’ll be ready to stare February down and finish it with clarity and happiness.
Ahead you’ll find your star sign’s tarot horoscope for the month of February, with three tarot cards drawn and their meaning for you explained.
Aries
March 21 to April 20

Tarot cards for Aries for February: Temperance, Seven of Cups, Page of Swords
Meaning: Keep On Moving
It’s all going to kick off but not in the way you thought, planned for, or hoped for. But, don’t worry, because what will happen will surpass those expectations and be exactly what you need.
Temperance shows the path of change lies ahead. You are shifting and, as such, the ideas you activate with the green light Page of Swords are going to turn out a little differently to what you initially thought. You are giving off different energy. People will respond to that.
The Seven of Cups urges you to keep on manifesting though. Don’t wait to feel clear or ready or totally prepared. Just do it. Keep rolling with the punches, riding the ride, and surfing the waves. All of this will get you where you need to be.

Tarot cards for Taurus for February: The Wheel of Fortune, Page of Wands, Queen of Wands
Meaning: Exciting Month Ahead
Lots of excitement in store, Taurus! Are you ready? The Page and Queen of Wands bring travel, adventure, passion, creativity, lifestyle changes, education and new horizons.
The trick here is to have a go, experiment, spin the wheel, step in and try, play around and don’t take it all too seriously. Be bold, spontaneous, open-minded and ready to react to what’s on offer. Plenty will come your way.
The Wheel of Fortune is the power card this month, and it represents transformation and change. Lots of things are going to unfold, unravel, come together again, and reform. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the journey.

Tarot cards for Gemini for February: Ace of Cups, Four of Cups, Three of Wands
Meaning: Restore Relationships
The Three of Wands brings lots of new, but fleeting, opportunities this month and the focus will be on your relationship landscape.
The Ace of Cups is an invitation to new romance or close friendship. Someone new will emerge. Someone who is captivating, creative and passionate. Someone who is loving and loyal. They will become a major part of your life – for the long term.
The Four of Cups asks you to look with fresh eyes at people you’ve taken for granted, spurned or drifted away from. You have forgotten why you like them, in a way. You have forgotten what they mean, what they’ve done for you, why they matter. Remember and repair things.

Tarot cards for Cancer for February: Nine of Cups, Queen of Swords, Seven of Coins

You are ready to make a dream come true for yourself, Cancer. No more relying on other people, waiting for the stars to align, hoping for the best or letting others go first… it’s time for you.
The Queen of Swords sees you taking action, off your own back and for your own gain. The Nine of Cups shows this is about making a dream come true, pursuing a fervent wish, manifesting something you have fantasised about.
The Seven of Coins reveals this is an important shift in many ways, it triggers you taking more ownership and control of your destiny, and nothing will be the same ever again – in a good way. You do you.

Meaning: The Long Game
Powerful cards, Leo. You are laying down the law this month ahead and planting seeds for your future that will help take you into a new, prosperous and successful era of growth and wealth. Go, Leo!
The Emperor is you being a boss. You are making the rules, setting the agenda, creating the plan and blasting through the obstacles. You are an unstoppable force.
The goals? Long term health, wealth and comfort (if not luxury). The Nine and Ten of Coins are both happy-ever-cards relating to health, home, work and money. You are making long-term plans and strategies to impact all of these life areas. It’s going to stick this time, it’s going to work. Get to it.

Tarot cards for Virgo for February: King of Cups, Knight of Wands, King of Wands
Meaning: People Pleasing
A trio of Court cards shows you’re going to be working through a few tricky relationship dynamics this month, getting to a better place, and enjoying some real bonding and intimacy with someone important.
The Knight and King of Wands sees you having a sparky old time with a friend or relative or colleague. They push your buttons, rev you up, make you react. That’s okay, maybe that’s their role in your life. Watch the dynamics as they play out. Recognise the bits you don’t enjoy… and be different, change things, replace the record.
The King of Cups sees you enjoying authentic bonding with a loved one, or new object of affection. Possibly a Water sign (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio). You might be falling (even deeper) in love…

Tarot cards for Libra for February: Queen of Cups, Six of Swords, Three of Swords
Meaning: Release
Do yourself a favour and release the things you’re carrying on doing, supporting or investing in that actually bring no (or a negative) return. Move on, let them go.
The Queen of Cups asks you to take good care of yourself this month, practice self love and self care, prioritise your needs, do things which make you feel healthy, energetic, strong and enthused. Follow your passions, take up new activities, set an inspiring challenge.
The Six and Three of Swords are a strong message to cut ties with anything, anyplace or anyone which has pained you, caused upset, been callous, not reciprocated your efforts, or become difficult and draining. This is the first step of putting yourself first – releasing the rubbish. If you carry on giving to people and places which have yet to reward your time and energy then you’re just following a negative pattern. Stop this now.

The King of Coins recognises that you are ready to settle down, nest, make a comfortable and secure home with someone you love, trust and rely on. It’s time to move closer to those ideals and make a lasting commitment to the one.

Information is power, which you know better than most (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot cards for Capricorn for February: Two of Wands, The Moon, Nine of Wands
Meaning: Clear The Fog
It all feels a little ethereal, mysterious and foggy right now, which is not your usual MO. You like clarity, direction, focus. And it’s been missing this last month or so. What to do?
The Two and Nine of Wands asks you to focus first on the issues, obstacles, problems and trickies that you can see directly in front of you. List them, prioritise them, understand them, tackle them. It won’t be half as hard as you fear and this process will get you moving again, firing on all cylinders.
The Moon shows there is confusion and illusion around you right now, but it will clear as you dig into things, ask questions, research your options. Stockpile useful information and the mist will clear away, leaving you with clarity and focus again. Just as you like it.

Tarot cards for Aquarius for February: Judgment, Seven of Swords, Nine of Swords
Meaning: An Epiphany
Judgment shows you experiencing a really important epiphany this February, a realisation about yourself, your true nature and desires, who you are and what you want. Don’t suppress this knowledge – use it.
The Seven of Swords shows you may see some people in a new light as a result of this insight. It will seem clear to you that some people have sabotaged, or at least not supported, you when you needed it, but you never saw it that way… until now. You can’t un-see it.
The Nine of Swords shows you getting a handle on your worries and fears too. You start to express them, say them out loud, see them for what they are… and their grip over you fades as a result. You will feel truly liberated from negativity this February. Enjoy yourself. Release.

Tarot cards for Pisces for February: Knight of Coins, Queen of Coins, Knight of Swords
Meaning: Adaptable Personality
You may need to wear different ‘masks’ this February in order to get things done, sail through issues, make amends, and make progress. Ready to adapt and shape-shift a little?
The Knight and Queen of Coins sees you being super professional, super competent, super determined and ‘all business’, and getting ahead as a result. You should apply for what you want to do most this month, you should do the role you long for, you should lead and act like the next level up!
The Knight of Swords asks you to also wear a more assertive, even pushy, mask when dealing with people who are in your way or blocking you. Stop compromising and being so understanding. Start pushing back and prioritising your demands. Sometimes you have to use your teeth and claws…
