Creativescopes for February 2023 are here! These horoscopes are crafted and designed to help you tap into your creative cycles this season. Astrology is a language for understanding the human experience, so take what resonates for you and leave the rest. You can read these messages for both your sun and rising signs.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Dear water bearer, do you feel the tides changing? As you step more and more towards and into yourself there is a shift. Mary Oliver once wrote that “Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.” What rests inside your box of darkness? What gifts lurk in the shadows, and what shadows are the gifts themselves? This is something to meditate on in the next few weeks. Speak up, the world longs to hear the fire of your voice, even in winter (it’s a welcome candle).
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Dear intuitive one, it’s time to check in! As you rest in winter’s cocoon, how are you giving love to yourself? How is your relationship with you? Like building a fire, pay attention to the tinder and then watch the flame grow. This is the same for your creative work. Resting is a form of art-making too.
Aries & Aries Rising
Steadfast Ram, who you are is enough. And I don’t say this in a greeting card type of way, but rather in a fully embodied, “the stars, and the dirt, and the Oak, and the Elm, and the earthworm adore you.” Seek abundance this month in the spotlight, even if, at first, you’re shy. Sharing your work is essential. How can you expect others to know what you’ve been up to if you don't share your work?
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, do me a favor. Get down on your belly and put your ear to the earth, and this is where you’ll find what some folks call your “higher calling.” When you get real still, it’s easier to listen, and stillness is one of your strong suits. Brew a cup of tea, and do a channeled writing exercise. You might be surprised by what you already know.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Oh, Gemini, your relationship with friction is admirable. You usually rise to a challenge, a debate, a problem to solve, or an ideology to reconcile, so now, don’t give up. And on the other hand (there are always at least two points to be made when we’re speaking of the twins), make sure to take good care of yourself. You’re not responsible for others’ interpretations of you. You keep being you (plural you’s).
Cancer & Cancer Rising
Cancer, are things feeling a little existential this month? If so, you’re right on time. If you’re in the middle of a death and rebirth cycle, let yourself shed your old skin, much like a snake. A serpent carries with it symbolically that every ending is another beginning. Sing a song to the void, write a love letter to the abyss, chant your fears aloud, inviting them to tea. Demons are not enemies. However, the denial of them is a fearsome foe.
Leo & Leo Rising
Tender and creative lion, what is your relationship with the archetypal other this month? Making art within a community is a little like a dance. Allow everyone into the spotlight and remember that this is the best way to shine. How can you contribute to the brightness of someone else this month? Partner with a friend, start a new project and explore your relationship to this word: other.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
Virgo, you know a secret that others don’t. Sometimes the most romantic thing to be done is the most practical. What has been on your to-do list too long? Are the dishes sitting in the sink? It’s time for an energetic sweep! It will allow the creative energies to arrive with spring, burgeoning, blossoming messages of hope.
Libra & Libra Rising
Libra, you’re an incredible artist and creator because you understand that there are many ways to get things done and many decisions and pathways to honor. So, have some fun this month, and work with someone to bring a vision to life. You have an intuitive sense. Follow it.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Scorpion, what in your history is showing up and asking to be held? You have a great capacity for history in both yourselves and others. This month you might consider what it means to make meaning of an event. Perhaps you’ll feel called to write a poem or even finger paint. It doesn’t matter what you create, only that you do it.
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
Sagittarius, I know I don’t need to tell you twice to follow your inner flame, but this month, that deep fire is calling to you. However, proceed carefully. This is a creative fire, not destructive, a slow burn. Use the spark this month to get going, but make sure you consider sustainability along the way.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Capricorn, this is a moment of transformation for you. It’s time to get honest, and then when the time is right, like the phoenix, molt into your next phase. Enjoy the dream before the revelation. This is where all the prep work is done for all that comes next.
