Happy February, everyone! We’ve officially made it through the first month of 2024. While we always view the first bit of New Year as the only chance to start anew and set new habits into motion, I like to think of January as a yearly trial run. As we ring in a new month, it’s time to course-correct accordingly. On top of this, February’s annual reminder of the love around us (Valentine’s Day, obviously) prompts us to re-align our priorities with the connections that matter most. Want to know what the cosmos have in store for you this February? Keep reading and, as always, keep listening.

Happy birthday, Aquarius! While the sun is beginning its transit through your sign, Saturn is ending its time in Aquarius.

As an earth sign, Valentine’s Day mayyyy not be your favorite holiday on Earth.
