All week, divine energy is with you for making friends and contacts, sharing your talents or expertise with others, socializing, and coming up with creative and exciting new ideas for future projects. You love to innovate and break ground, and this week, you’re in an unusual position to do so.
Taurus
You are quite fearless about facing deeper feelings right now, dear Taurus. Instincts for making changes and improvements are excellent today, and in many ways, all week. Look for opportunities to advance your professional interests, as an offer can come up seemingly out of the blue. You might draw upon experience and wisdom to solve a problem, likely related to your career or reputation. Letting go of attitudes that keep you stuck in the past comes naturally right now. A Lunar Eclipse will occur in your home and family sector tomorrow, pointing to more “work” on freeing yourself from limiting attitudes.
Gemini
You are more in tune with your desire for new experience, learning, and excitement these days, dear Gemini. Today, you are learning new things about — and through — friends and acquaintances, as well as expanding friends’ minds with your ideas and feelings. Opportunities emerge now to grow and improve. For some, travel, courses, networking, teamwork, and publishing opportunities are part of the picture today and this week. Don’t ignore invitations from friends, as there may be a door opening for you in the process. There can also be new friends and alliances formed, particularly through your studies or extracurricular activities.
Cancer
There’s nothing superficial about your interactions today, dear Cancer. You tend to attract intense energy your way now, and you can experience a real desire for positive change. This can also be a good time for recognition or support from a person in authority, as well as for alternative approaches to your work or money. A relationship might play a significant role in your motivation to reach a goal or ambition, or a common purpose with a significant other can form now. This week is powerful for money and career matters. It’s time to think outside of the box for solutions.
Leo
Because you can slip into others’ shoes very easily at this time, dear Leo, your powers of negotiation are stellar. You are likely to find yourself in pleasant agreement with important others in your life today. Making connections with people tends to run seamlessly now, and in many ways, all week. You are open to change and progress, and aligning yourself with others who are progressive, adventurous, and forward-looking can be very beneficial now. It’s an excellent week for mind-opening experiences and exciting revelations. A Lunar Eclipse will occur in your sign tomorrow, and you’re building towards meaningful epiphanies and personal discoveries.
Virgo
You are feeling in charge at work or on top of your duties right now, dear Virgo. A little research goes a long way today – you’re uncovering hidden answers or information that helps propel you forward. You may very well solve a long-standing problem by thinking outside of the box. Productivity gets a boost today. Alternative methods work best right now – no need to cling to the familiar or traditional. A Lunar Eclipse tomorrow reminds you of the necessity of rest and downtime, so be sure not to overdo things today, but enjoy the positive vibes with you that lead to small breakthroughs in your work or intimate life.
Libra
This is a time of year for seeking out more fun from your life, dear Libra, and when creative impulses are stronger than usual. This week, you have unusually good cosmic support for these things. Sparks can fly between you and a love interest today. Fresh approaches to relating are in order now and this week. Many of you are making pleasant advances in your relationships. Circumstances remind you that your love life is alive and well – or at the very least, showing promise! A little frivolity goes a long way. Expressing yourself more freely and playfully can help open doors to you. A partner might inspire a creative idea.
Scorpio
You are more sharply focused on family affairs and your personal life these days, dear Scorpio. Today is particularly strong for enjoying the freedoms that acceptance and support afford you. You’re adding some extra spice to your home life and your work or routines now and this week. You can be adventurous on the domestic scene right now. Follow your instincts when it comes to decorating, cooking, and the like, as you could create a small masterpiece! Work problems are easier to resolve today. Your mind is open, and those around you more readily open theirs, or they allow you the space to do your own thing. Work, health, and family life benefit from a creative, non-traditional approach today.
Sagittarius
There is fabulous energy with you today for making contact and expressing yourself quite freely, dear Sagittarius. The information you uncover today is exciting and possibly even profitable. Small projects that you begin now tend to have long-term viability. Even if they don’t last, they are stepping stones to something bigger and better. Your mind is inventive, and your sense of humor is fun. Others are taking note! Having a little fun with life leads to the most innovative and useful approaches right now. This can be a week of advances, however big or small, that motivate you and lift your spirits.
Capricorn
You are meeting with open minds today, dear Capricorn, which can feel like a breath of fresh air. Insight into a practical matter, especially financial, can come when you’re not trying too hard. Taking a small step back from a problem may bring a natural solution, gently. You can take little steps towards achieving some level of security now, as you are more open to possibilities. This is a time for approaching your family life, money, and domestic affairs in refreshing new ways and making small improvements that lead to a greater sense of being on top of things.
Aquarius
The Sun is in your sign and forming a harmonious angle to your ruler, Uranus, dear Aquarius, making this a great day for personal magnetism and for gently pushing ahead. You are likely to experience and enjoy others’ appreciation for your more unique qualities right now. You might find yourself on the same page as a significant other, or agreements come organically now, more due to your natural self-confidence than negotiation skills. This is an excellent week for effective communication.
Pisces
You’re in a great position to make small changes in your life that lead to big improvements, dear Pisces. You can readily see areas that would benefit from progressive approaches, including projects and attitudes. You’re working under the radar or behind the scenes these days, but this doesn’t mean you’re hiding out. It’s a time for branching out and coming up with novel ways to express your feelings. It’s also strong for unusual or progressive approaches to your money and valuables. You might choose to go with your gut feeling, as your intuition tends to serve you especially well right now. Enjoy a change of pace today!

LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 9th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
