Horoscopes
Aries
You have a sudden and strong appetite for pleasure today, dear Aries, with the emotional Moon in your sign and Venus and Mars connecting in your sign as well! This can challenge you to take the lead or to take charge, but if you’re not finding an outlet for all these feelings and desires, you could feel frustrated. While you are certainly desirous, the good news is that you are especially desirable right now. Others are interested – be patient. Learn from sudden impulses. The focus is on you, perhaps a little too heavily, but to some extent, this is healthy and necessary. You want to participate, not stand by. With self-discipline, you can do much, and fortunately, in just a few days, Saturn will help on this front.
Taurus
Desires are powerful today. You are attracting attention, dear Taurus, but you’re very much focused on your private life and your inner world of feelings and desires. Creative imagination is strong, although it may or may not be working for you. Projecting your fantasies onto others can make too much of a situation, whether it’s positive or negative. Love is dramatic, at the very least in your mind, and you could be excited at the prospect of breaking taboos or following your heart to unusual places. Private, unrequited, or past love can be in focus. Creative arts can be rewarding now – something that allows you to express your feelings and desires in an indirect way.
Gemini
The creative thinker in you is stimulated today, dear Gemini, and you can be especially desirous of new beginnings, taking the lead, and increased contact with others. The emphasis is on pleasure, finding like minds, and making new plans. Even so, while you might envision an exciting project today, it can be difficult knowing how to get it off the ground. In just a few days, however, it may very well all come together with Saturn’s (and possibly a partner’s) help.
Cancer
You can be recognized for your dynamism and creativity today, dear Cancer, and you’re bringing strong people skills to the table. Feedback can be exciting. Professionally speaking, you are coming across as especially creative and on top of your game today. Creativity flows, and you want to stand out and shine – and that you will do. Impulsiveness should be controlled, however, as a solid plan is not quite in place. Be ready for attention, as what you do now will not go unnoticed.
Leo
Today can be very strong for adventure and play, dear Leo, with Venus and Mars approaching an alignment in your adventure sector. If you want to make a good impression or to host a social event, it’s a great time for doing so. Creatively speaking, you are powerful. Shoot for something exciting and share your enthusiasm with others. The only caution now is to watch for red herrings and impractical thinking. Your powers of attraction are strong just by being yourself. You can achieve or pursue your goals with much more ease than usual. Physical or mental activities, particularly competitive ones, may go in your favor. You enjoy meeting challenges.
Virgo
Your appeal now is mysterious and sensual, dear Virgo, with Venus and Mars hooking up in your intimate sector. Even so, in awkward angle to your sign, outlets for expression may not be clear or direct. Things can get heated fast today, and you might have a sudden urge to act upon hidden or previously buried desires and feelings. Aggravated feelings can be stirred as well, particularly if you’re feeling too dependent on someone. However, this can also be a time when you’re pleasantly desirous, and in the mood to indulge someone you love.
Libra
Your lust for life is infectious today, dear Libra. You’re playful, determined, and energetic. While there’s beautiful energy for love surrounding you, keep in mind that you are bound to bring out strong feelings and reactions in others whether you want to or not. This can be an intense time for passion, romance, and pleasure. Nevertheless, you may go to extremes now. Do push the limits when it comes to creativity and feeling, but avoid setting yourself up for disappointment as not everyone else may be on the same page. You seem to be magnetizing people to you, however, and others may be challenging you to experience new things.
Scorpio
You might be especially effective at turning a responsibility or duty into something pleasurable today, dear Scorpio. You could decide to turn a hobby into something a little more practical, or a fantasy into something concrete and meaningful. This is a potentially strong day for personal attraction as well. Love and creativity can flourish now, particularly on the job. Enthusiasm runs high. Listen to your sudden urges and whims, but wait a little to see if they actually stick. In the next few days, ideas you are entertaining now may turn into something golden with a little tweaking, and possibly profitable, too.
Sagittarius
You are charming and magnetic now, dear Sagittarius, able to turn some heads. There can be more than one admirer now, and although this might typically present a challenge, it feels pleasant. Creatively, you are at a personal peak. Be sure to do something recreational today, just for the fun of it. This is a time when you are bursting with creativity and desiring to make something beautiful in your life. You can bring great pleasure to someone’s life as well. There can be some drama in your social relationships now, but with a little effort, it can be turned into fun. You are especially aware of, and awake to, the world around you.
Capricorn
You are feeling especially passionate about your home life, family, and roots now, dear Capricorn. No matter what you do today, you’re bound to make an impact, even if it’s only in your personal circle. You are certainly craving emotional interaction with others that runs deeper than usual. Your heart rules your head right now, and as such, results can be unexpected and perhaps a little messy, but running with your feelings and emotional excitement may be just what you need at the moment.
Aquarius
A super day for creative visions, as well as enthusiasm for your work and studies, is in store for you today, dear Aquarius. You are totally on top of your game when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and others may be admiring your perspective on matters. Some of you can receive a warm message from an admirer, or initiate one! You possess inner resolve and a gently motivating competitiveness that can lead you to new discoveries and bold new beginnings. You need a good outlet for your energy, and right now, it’s likely a mental one.
Pisces
You are especially desirous and possibly impulsive when it comes to spending, eating, and indulging in general right now, dear Pisces. Material goods, comfort or luxury items, and pleasurable or sensual activities appeal strongly now. You might also be thinking up ways to make more money or to make creative changes in business. There may be a situation that arises in which you feel the need to defend yourself or your value, or protect your possessions. You are learning about your desires now, but you can be a little headstrong for the moment as you work on definition. In love, you can be feeling a bit possessive.

Your weakness lies in your tendency to exaggerate and your inability to cope with the more mundane activities in life.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 21st:
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 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, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
