Weekly Astrology & Energy Forecast 3rd February 2025

Writer's picture: Hannah CumminsHannah Cummins


We are now past the mid point of the winter season known as Imbolc and there is a sense of inspiration stirring beneath the surface. The energy is beginning to build, slowly but surely, towards the spring equinox, making this an ideal time to set intentions and plant the seeds of future growth. Though we are still in winter, and rest remains essential, there is a noticeable shift—subtle yet undeniable—towards renewal and movement.


Astrologically, this week supports that growing momentum. With plenty of air energy in play, there’s a sense of speed and flowing communication, making it easier to exchange ideas and gain clarity. The first quarter moon phase encourages action, pushing us to take steps towards our goals. While the week brings moments of harmony, it also carries the potential for a more dynamic and loud conclusion. Balancing forward motion with the continued need for nourishment will be key.


Astro Highlights of This Week


Monday 3rd / Tuesday 4th February

Jupiter Stations Direct @ 11 Degrees Gemini – Mercury’s Sign

Trines Mercury @ 11 Degrees Aquarius and the Sun @ 15 Degrees Aquarius

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, stations direct in Gemini, bringing a surge of forward momentum, particularly in areas linked to communication, learning, and ideas. This is a great day for making announcements, having important conversations, or sharing knowledge, as Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches. With Gemini representing small-scale communication and Aquarius focusing on the collective and humanitarian ideals, there is a bridge forming between personal expression and the bigger picture. The Sun’s involvement further highlights these themes, illuminating new perspectives and fresh insights.


Venus Enters Aries

Venus moves from its exaltation in Pisces, where it has been soft, romantic, and compassionate, into fiery Aries—where it operates quite differently. Aries is the sign of Venus’ detriment, meaning the planet of love, beauty, and harmony takes on a bolder, more impulsive quality here. There is a shift towards directness in relationships, an eagerness to pursue desires, and a more independent approach to love and creativity. This transition also brings us further into the pre-retrograde shadow period, meaning themes from eight years ago may begin to resurface. If you know where Aries falls in your birth chart, it may be worth revisiting past patterns in this area of your life.


Thursday 6th February

North Node & Neptune Conjunct in Pisces

This rare alignment, which only happens once every 18 years, brings a dreamy, visionary energy. Neptune, the planet of imagination, spirituality, and illusion, merges with the North Node, which represents collective destiny and the direction we are collectively being pulled towards. This is an expansive moment that encourages us to tap into limitless potential, creativity, and intuition. It’s a time to dream big and open ourselves to inspiration, but also to be mindful of illusions or unrealistic expectations.


Friday 7th February

Venus in Aries Sextile Pluto in Aquarius

This supportive transit supercharges relationships and interactions, intensifying the way we relate to one another. There may be an increased sense of personal autonomy in social dynamics, or a shift in power structures within relationships. Some astrologers have linked this energy to a "power to the people" moment, as Pluto in Aquarius represents collective transformation, while Venus in Aries asserts individual needs. This alignment could bring a mix of deep emotional shifts and bold, uncompromising authenticity in personal and collective relationships.


Sunday 9th February

Sun Conjunct Mercury at 21 Degrees Aquarius – Mercury Cazimi – Squaring Uranus

A Mercury cazimi occurs when the planet of communication is in the heart of the Sun, bringing moments of absolute clarity. Expect sudden insights, important realisations, and breakthroughs in thinking. However, with Uranus involved, this energy is likely to be disruptive and unpredictable. Uranus shakes things up, and in a tense square to Mercury and the Sun, it could bring unexpected news, technological glitches, or a radical shift in perspective. This is a high-energy moment—loud, electrifying, and full of surprises.


Though this week brings energy for action and inspiration, we are still in the depths of winter, where rest and renewal remain essential. Sufficient rest now will ensure steady, sustained energy as we move into the spring season, a time of growth and forward momentum. Rushing ahead too soon may leave us without the stamina to see things through. Strive for balance this week, listening to your body and honouring its needs—it will pay dividends in the months to come.
