4 Zodiacs Beginning A New Life Chapter In February

LEO

Sometimes we think a new life chapter is going to be neat and tidy, Leo, but sometimes it’s anything but. Sometimes a new life chapter completely turns the old one on its head. Sometimes it demolishes everything you’ve just built and forces you to pull it together all over again. This isn’t easy to do. It will teach you about patience and humility and frustration and holding space for your own emotions. In this life chapter everything feels like it’s under construction. Critical pieces are missing, or in the process of being replaced. The floor plan you were familiar with is no longer recognizable, and at times it feels like there isn’t a clear plan available to make sense of everything. You have to trust that the mess, the confusion, and the work are worth it. That what’s left when the dust settles will be better than what you started with. You have to be the Chip and Joanna Gaines of your own life and figure out what the metaphorical ship lap and moody paint colors are that will make you look and feel brand new.

GEMINI

This new life chapter you embark on in February picks up on a thread from long ago. You are literally presented with an opportunity to continue right where you left off. The person, place, activity, or endeavor feels so familiar, as if no time has passed at all, with the exception that you now get to bring years of newfound knowledge and experience to the table. At first, you will feel slightly intimidated, remembering all the reasons you let this part of your life lay forgotten on a metaphorical shelf. The self-doubt and self-sabotage that told you it wasn’t feasible, logical, or a good use of your time, but you are more than well aware of how many times you’ve glanced up at that shelf over the years and thought, “what if?” So if you’re going to go for it this time, give it all you’ve got. There’s no use half-assing anything in the name of saving face. You’re either going to nail it, or fall flat on your face. The great news is, you can always get up and try again.

SAGITTARIUS

The new life chapter you begin this month, Sagittarius, is one where things that have recently been “brand new” start to feel more familiar. The exploring you’ve done, people you’ve introduced yourself to, and choices you’ve made will all blend into a routine that brings you comfort and stability. This chapter is about committing to what you’ve built for yourself, like a good reality survival show, your shelter is up, and now it’s time to add in those creature comforts. A bed perhaps, or maybe a chimney. The things that take you from “getting by” to “thriving”. You’ve put so much energy into these bigger picture decisions, that now it’s time to enjoy the smaller pleasures. Not where to live or work, or who to spend your life with, but what book to read next, or what app subscription will make your life more enjoyable. Maybe you need recipes, guided stretching, or a good game of chess to stimulate your brain cells. Whatever it is, you are well on your way to that personal goal of feeling and believing that you’re established.

PISCES

Your next life chapter feels a little empty, Pisces. Sometimes, when something big ends, whether good or bad, we feel overwhelmed by the void it leaves behind. The weeks, months, maybe even years we spent defining ourselves by the endeavor, event, or pursuit all come to a screeching halt, and we’re left asking ourselves, “what’s next?” Many times, there’s not an immediate answer. We must simply sit with ourselves, in the quiet, like a layover in our life between two major destinations. Look around. Browse through the gift shops, treat yourself to something you know isn’t good for you. This is a pit stop. This is temporary. A time and space apart from our everyday lives where we get to make exceptions. This is the chapter that breaks off from the established narrative we’ve been telling ourselves and allows us to explore a hypothetical, a side story, or dive a little deeper into our own desires. Whatever you do, don’t rush this part. Major character development is taking place, and you can’t mess with the process.
