The eclipse in the middle of the month is the first of four this year (solar eclipse = new moon, this one in Aquarius). The eclipses won't be visible from most of the world, but I think you can see some from Greenland...
In astrological events for February, the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune at 0° Aries on 20 February is probably the biggest deal, though Uranus stationing direct will likely be felt as well. The end of the month brings a square been Mars and Uranus and the beginning of the year's first Mercury retrograde. All these alignments are challenging, and progress the story of dystopia and resistance that we're living through.
