Horoscope of the month – our most popular regular feature is back! February carries the energy of the wolverine, the tireless wanderer in winter's deepest stillness. This is the month for inner strength, solitary wisdom and endurance – a time when everything appears frozen on the surface, but the pulse of life vibrates deep beneath the snow. In the tradition of Sjamanistisk Forbund, the wolverine stands as a symbol of courage, instinct, independence and trial. February is therefore about meeting your own limits, and discovering that the power you seek outside already dwells within your body.
The Wolverine – The month of strength and trial
The wolverine is winter's unshakable guardian – alone, but never weak. You who are born under the wolverine's moon often feel independent, but this month you are pushed to acknowledge the need for support without losing your strength. The wolverine's energy teaches us the balance between self-assertion and community. What you once experienced as resistance now becomes training ground for something greater; endurance turns into wisdom.
As you move through February, you will feel old patterns breaking apart – not as loss, but as liberation. Rituals with pine or juniper strengthen the will, while oils or tea of mountain mint help you cleanse your thoughts before you set new intentions. Go out into a storm or snowfall and stand against the wind – feel how resistance actually teaches you direction.
The energies of the week
Week 1 (1–7 February): Independence. A decision requires that you trust yourself completely. Your honesty about your own limits will be admired.
Week 2 (8–14 February): The wolverine's instinct. Follow your gut feeling even when you meet headwinds. What you intuitively know will soon prove to be the right path.
Week 3 (15–21 February): The trial. A challenge tests your patience, but you earn respect by standing firm.
Week 4 (22–29 February): The reward. Rest, warmth and community await. A relationship is strengthened after honest conversations.

The ritual for February
Go out at the new moon, find a track in the snow and follow it for a while without knowing where it leads. When you stop, place your hand on your heart and say: "I stand in my own power. I follow my instinctive path."
The month will show you that freedom has always been yours.
