The planetary alignment that began in January 2025 with six planets (Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus) aligning in a straight line in the night sky will peak on February 28 as Mercury joins the celestial pageantry. Though the seven planets will conclude their show-stopping spectacle on March 12—right before Mercury enters retrograde—the alignment at its peak on February 28—a day before Venus begins its 42-day retrograde cycle—will be extraordinary. Not only because it is a rare phenomenon but also because none of the planets will be in retrograde for one fleeting moment in time. This day exudes magic and manifestation, giving you a true taste of what it feels like for the vibes to be immaculate. Below, we tell you what this unique planetary alignment means for your zodiac sign.
Aries
Set your sights high, then hit snooze. You’ve been thinking, planning and training long and hard, and although this day is all about revving up that magic, the secret to manifesting is to allow yourself to ease into things. When dining out, you trust the chef to deliver your order, right? It’s the same with the universe. Place your orders and know that they are arriving.
Taurus
Safeguard what you can while nurturing what you have, Taurus. You’ve been working on something in the background; perhaps a skill you’ve refined over the years or an unexpected opportunity that may have come your way that you simply attempted to help someone out. Your intuition is speaking loud and clear, are you listening? Leave the circus behind if you wish to elevate your life.
Gemini
Love, passion and magic fill the air around you. You are in the spotlight, you are seen and loved for being yourself and you’ve found the cheat code to the cosmos. Harness that wisdom, envision a plan of action and leave room for the universe to sprinkle some magic. You’ve been asking for liberation and it is here for you. Now claim it by copiloting with your structured approach to life while letting your wild side take the steering wheel.
Cancer
Are you the same person you were last year? You finally see the way forward with clarity, owning your power and sense of self-worth instead of meandering through life one step at a time. A great day to make that vision board or even invest time imagining your best life yet. It only gets better when you let your false life crumble away.
Leo
You’ve reached a point where the celestial realms open the floodgates of support, bringing in people, resources and opportunities when you least expect it. Your pillars of strength become the foundations on which you build your dream castles—be it your inner circle, your skills, your intuition or your ability to see what lies ahead. The answers arrive as messages relayed by your instincts. Listen.
Virgo
You finally decide to walk into newer pastures, newer timelines and newer adventures. You allow your fears of the unknown to rest and permit yourself to relish the fruits of your labour. The cosmos wants you to remember that you leave your sparkly footprints behind no matter what you do, so go on and sprinkle that magic on the canvas of your life.
Libra
Behind every accomplishment is the decision to take that first step. Behind every serendipitous event is the willingness to surrender to the cosmos. Behind every fortunate turn of events is the ability to confidently trust your inner wisdom and let it guide the way forward. A lot may have not worked out, but it takes one moment to transform your mundane life into an enchanted one. This one is yours.
Scorpio
Tired of figuring out how to manage life and everything in between? The odds are in your favour this time. Design your dreams and venture out to bring them to life. What started as a frustrated wish to get out of a ragged situation is relieving itself through your conscious effort to finally put an end to it. You are writing new chapters that are bringing you closer to the victory post.
Sagittarius
You’ve come beyond the walls that felt like they were caving in and are slowly inching towards the highest point on the cliff where you can taste freedom, fresh air and possibilities. You may have felt trapped in a reality you did not fit into. Now, you are the ruler of your destiny, creating an environment conducive to growth and expansion.
Aquarius
In imperfections, you begin finding the beauty of life, Aquarius. Your ideas and insights may have steered you in a certain direction with your heart soaring with joy and your eyes overflowing with gratitude. Make that wish, take that leap and set up that template for the life you seek. While you distil your current plans and goals, you also pull into your reality all that you secretly wish for.
Pisces
Create beauty around you through an environment that feels calm and harmonious. Your paramount objective is a happy life; how you get to it doesn’t matter as long as you bring that vibration to your present. Your life overflows with exuberance, your heart expands with love and you evolve into a version of yourself you could only dream of.
