February 14 — the date, kept whole

The sign

The Sun on February 14 sits firmly in Aquarius — in every one of the 101 years we computed. No cusp asterisk on this one.

An air sign despite its water-bearer symbol, Aquarius is the inventive, forward-looking energy of late winter. As a fixed sign it is traditionally read as steady in its convictions and loyal to its ideals. In astrology it is associated with originality, independence, and humanitarian vision, and modern astrology adds Uranus to its traditional ruler, Saturn. Tradition casts it as the individualist of the zodiac, loyal to its ideals and drawn to new ideas. More on Aquarius →

The flower and the stone

February's birth flower is the Violet (with the Primrose beside it), and its stone is the Amethyst — Purple. Each carries meanings from its own tradition; the month pages keep their stories.

The month's moon

February's full moon is the Snow Moon — themes of stillness, scarcity, waiting. The date tool shows the exact moon of any February 14, any year.

One line of numerology

Day 14 reduces to 5 in the day-number tradition. Five is traditionally the number of motion — curiosity, adaptability, a life that resists staying still.
