The Sun moves into Pisces soon, so softer changes are on the horizon.
This is the part of the year where endings start to matter more than beginnings. Add in Mercury slowing down and preparing to retrograde in Pisces, and it’s pretty clear this isn’t business as usual.
For some signs, this stretch acts like a hinge. Something changes. A chapter wraps up, or at least starts creaking toward its end.
Here are five signs that tend to feel this turning point the strongest, and what it actually looks like for each of them when late February starts to unfold.
1. Pisces
With late February, your season begins, Pisces, so of course it’s going to be very personal for you.
When the Sun enters Pisces around February 18, you’re pulled inward. People start to notice you more, yes, but you’re also noticing yourself more—who you’ve become over the past year.
Now, there’s a moment of clarity here you can tap into. But it’s often masked as confusion.
Especially as Mercury slows down and prepares to retrograde in your sign, there’s a lot of haze. Your thoughts will start to loop, some things will resurface, and others will be buried deeper still.
The turning point here is internal.
What that means is that you might stop chasing something you thought you wanted. Or maybe you’ll admit defeat where you’ve been persisting for so long it’s starting to feel entirely hopeless.
Either way, there are changes on the horizon, and while it’s tempting to escape or numb yourself—don’t. Slow down instead and listen to your intuition.
You don’t have to act yet. Just consider your feelings, and trust whatever comes to light.
2. Aquarius
Aquarius, in late February, your season winds down and a door closes behind you.
That alone is a huge change. The beginning of the year was hectic for you so far, and you’ve likely been overwhelmed with ideas, plans, visions, and just thinking about where you want to go next.
But once Pisces seizes the throne, the energy becomes a bit more practical and emotional.
This is a turning point for you—a chance to start fresh with all the knowledge and growth you’ve achieved during your season.
It’s not going to be easy, though. Your thoughts and ideas now require practical motion. Planning isn’t going to cut it anymore—whether that involves work, relationships, or just how you go about things.
This energy asks a lot from you, but it does so knowing you’re ready. It’s nothing you can’t handle.
During late February, focus on what actually supports you, and work to realize or refine it. If something needs to be simplified, do it. If something needs to be cut back, don’t hesitate.
Use this clarity. It’s feeding you information that might very well determine the rest of the year.
3. Virgo
Although it may sound strange, Virgo, you’re likely going to experience this turning point of yours through other people.
Pisces is activating in your opposite sign, so expect late February to put relationships in the spotlight.
From romance to friendships, something about the way you relate to others is changing, and it’s in no way subtle.
Mercury, your ruling planet, is slowing down and heading into retrograde, so it’s going to dig up the past and force you to confront things—not to punish you, but to help you learn.
You might experience hard realizations during this time, but don’t be discouraged by them. They’re here to help you. This is information you can put to good use.
In a way, it still comes down to balance. Whatever comes up, it’s going to rattle your world, so you need to sustain harmony. Do this by admitting to your situation and trusting your inner wisdom.
Not everything is going to be logical, but your intuition will always show the way—if you listen to it, of course.
4. Gemini
Gemini, late February affects you in more ways than one, but your turning point here intertwines with direction and reputation.
How others see you—and how you want to be seen—now matters more than anything. It sure feels that way. You want your goals to inspire, and you want to be inspired by them.
But the problem is, as Mercury steps in, things suddenly feel vague and uncertain.
This will make you question where you want to go.
Yes, it’s frustrating at first since late February doesn’t bring answers on a silver platter, but it reminds you that reflection matters. There are some things that now need to be reviewed and understood differently.
Don’t try to do everything now—or even more. Your turning point here is realized through clarity that comes from reassessing your motivations.
There can be some temporary confusion or mixed signals during this time, so patience matters. Let things breathe before locking into decisions. You owe yourself that.
5. Sagittarius
Sagittarius, late February is bound to affect your emotional roots.
It’s not the most comfortable part of the month, but it brings realizations about where you truly belong, or where you don’t anymore. Both are equally clarifying.
Expect changes to happen too as the month nears its end, especially when it comes to your living situation, family dynamics, or emotional truths you’ve been avoiding for a while now.
Things you thought you’d outgrown may need one more look.
The turning point here arrives when you learn to sit with the discomfort, and learn from it.
Late February won’t allow you to avoid things. It wants you to slow down—to stop running.
There’s growth here, but only if you’re willing to be still long enough to notice it.
