Greetings from the cosmos, and welcome to your February 2023 horoscope. This month, with the Sun in Aquarius, we’re plotting multi-stop, flight-free forays and offbeat adventures.
We recommend using your rising sign for a more accurate reading. All you need is your birth date, time, and location to work out your rising sign. If you don’t know your birth time, you can refer to your sun sign.
The prevailing, mentally active Aquarius energy this month brings out our inner eco-warriors, which means we’re travelling with a stronger sense of purpose. Whether it’s a rail trip in the Swiss mountains or a sustainable stay, this month’s astrological weather says: be intentional, soak up the scenery and go slow. Being in transit is part of the adventure, the destination can wait.
