Horoscopes
Aries
While the Moon’s move into your adventure sector this morning usually stimulates your wanderlust, dear Aries, today’s energies tend to keep you grounded. You have a strong sense of the future, and perhaps it’s a little prophetic now as you seem to hone in on exactly what needs changing. Deep inner changes are brewing, and you instinctively know that it’s necessary. Love feelings are intense and stimulating. Long-term goals are clearer. You are feeling productive and practical, but you are not ignoring your intuition either. Work can thrive, and research can reward you. If you’re looking to overhaul or rework a project, now can be an excellent time to commit to it.
Taurus
It’s a strong bonding day when it comes to love relationships, dear Taurus. There is good energy with you for partnering up in order to accomplish something important to you. There can be a new level of understanding achieved now, about a partner, love interest, or your own beliefs. This is a time for broadening your mind, sharing your experiences and ideas with others, and considering ways to explore new horizons, particularly with a partner. There is a real desire to make deep changes that will last a long time, particularly in terms of how you approach relationships and your general outlook in general. Feelings run deeper than usual, and you won’t have any patience with the superficial now. It’s all or nothing for you right now.
Gemini
You can be quite effective and productive today and tomorrow, dear Gemini, if you put your mind to it. This is due to Mars, currently energizing your work and health sector, in positive connection with powerful Pluto. You might especially enjoy redoing or revamping a project. You are investigative and ready to solve problems and mysteries. You are able to see flaws and inconsistencies that you might overlook on another day, and you are tuning in to the tiniest details and finding meaning in them. This can be a good time to see a healthcare worker, research ideas, and get to the bottom of something. You are less inclined to avoid the truth now, even if it’s uncomfortable!
Cancer
Your mind is capable of deeply penetrating insights now, dear Cancer. Deeper, hidden subjects and topics come to the surface now, and while you may not want to air your feelings just yet, the desire to clear the air is strong. Instinctively you know that talking about your fears will help you to overcome them. You are more attracted to people who appear to be utterly sure of themselves now. Perhaps it’s because you are looking for more reassurance, as you may be tired of wondering and questioning what and who to believe. If you’re in need of making changes in your relationships or relating patterns, this is a strong time for doing so in long-lasting, significant ways. There can be breakthrough moments in a relationship or in your feelings. Desires can be insistent now!
Leo
Relationships can be passionate and intense today, dear Leo. Insight into your finances or something in your intimate, inner life comes now. You might experience a moment of truth, and possibly extra motivation to kick a bad habit and to live a freer, more authentic life as a result. You approach touchy or complicated subjects with bravery right no. Your stamina can be strong, or you could find every reason today to want to build it up. You could also be feeling quite motivated to improve your health. Today and tomorrow are especially strong for taking on nitty gritty or challenging tasks – you are not only more capable of handling them, you’re quite willing to get the dirty work out of the way.
Virgo
The Moon moves into your home and family sector late morning, dear Virgo, and there is a stronger desire to nest or cocoon. Even so, this can be a powerful day for communicating effectively and for making important discoveries, particularly along romantic and creative lines. You stand to gain tremendous insight into your close partnerships or into your relationship needs now. Freeing yourself from the role of passive bystander in your own life is what this is all about, and it’s empowering indeed. There can be a cathartic release, likely through a conversation, artistic activity,. passionate union, or even a journal entry. A feeling of closeness, with your own heart or with someone special, is likely to figure strongly now. You could be especially focused on making improvements that may not have instant results but that you know will be worth the effort in the long run.
Libra
Changes you make today and tomorrow are designed to get rid of non-essentials, and this ultimately allows you to reduce stress and clear your mind. Business and financial thinking is powerful, and you may be taking action to make important changes that empower you. You tend to want to take care of business, get a job done that you’ve been putting off, and to reduce redundancies. You’ll go the extra mile for something if it means you’ll feel more secure in the long run. A financial strategy can emerge now and can be very useful to you, especially regarding home and family. For some of you, a partner or special someone can come through for you today.
Scorpio
With your ancient and modern rulers, Mars and Pluto respectively, harmonizing, dear Scorpio, you’re in a strong position for personal power and influence, making important changes, and pushing forward a personal plan or project that’s close to your heart. It certainly helps that Mars is in your sign currently. You know instinctively how to channel any excess energy effectively today. A moment of truth in a love relationship can occur for some of you now. This can also happen if you are single in a different way – new insights into your own relationship needs or a changing attitude towards love can emerge. This is a time of unusual events or news that alters your thought patterns or leads to fruitful connections. You are bravely facing deeper issues that need to be settled, and there is more purpose and deliberation in what you’re doing.
Sagittarius
The Moon’s move into your sign late morning can point to an awakening of your emotions and a need to be spontaneous, dear Sagittarius. However, the Moon meets up with serious Saturn, and some very practical energies are with you now, such that you should consider ways to make improvements in your material life as well. This can be a good time for reorganizing your finances and formulating solid strategies that have real potential. You have a strong sense for what needs to go in order to simplify your life in key ways. You have a good eye for detail and a real desire to cut out waste. People tend to only see what they are prepared to confront, and today, you may open your eyes to something that you were previously unable to deal with.
Capricorn
Today is strong for pursuing a cause, making a difference, connecting with friends or a group and supporting one another, and pushing a project forward, dear Capricorn. Your sense of what is most important to you is on point, and you’re cutting through the fluff in order to get to the bottom of a matter or a situation. Changes you are making today and tomorrow can be extremely defining. You are discovering your own true personal power, and many of you are doing so through networking, sharing, and connecting with others. Others may be turning to you as a leader of sorts. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector late morning can stimulate a need to keep things on the down-low. Even so, you can be especially determined and focused now, and you’re unafraid of taking on a challenge, particularly if it means you get closer to a truth.
Aquarius
Recently, with Mars in your solar tenth house, dear Aquarius, your ambitions are stimulated and at times challenged. Today, you can very successfully draw upon your past experiences in order to make good decisions about your career or life direction. You can be focused on making long-term improvements now. You seem to be attracting the right resources or people today. A new game plan can come to you now, and you are likely to want to put it into action, not just think about it! A breakthrough conversation with an authority figure or about career can happen now. It’s a good time for making important changes that suit your current needs, particularly in your career.
Pisces
Physical outlets for some of the deep desires for freedom and excitement you are experiencing now can be especially rewarding now, dear Pisces. New ideas are likely birthing now, and you’re feeling especially confident about them. You may be a little tight-lipped or simply quiet about your plans, and this may in fact be a good strategy. Travel or education plans can come together, and certainly you’re thinking about ways to expand your life experience beyond the routine. Friends’ input can be appreciated. This is a time for making significant, long-lasting changes that can involve friendships, group associations, publishing, travel, and belief systems. You are seeing your own ambitions and desires exceptionally clearly, cutting through the layers of fluff.

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 2nd:
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 life time).
