Horoscopes
Aries

This is not the calmest or most centered of days, dear Aries, with Uranus in your sign in minor difficult aspect to the Sun. Resist the urge to rebel or to snap at others if you feel that your plans are not coming together as quickly and efficiently as you’d hoped. Honor your need for a change of scene, then start anew. Although the day tends to settle down as it progresses, we are building towards a Full Moon, which tends to bring buried or unacknowledged emotions to the surface. Today’s Moon is in your creative sector, stimulating a desire to stand out or to go out on a limb to express yourself.
Taurus

There can be a restless and impatient atmosphere around you today, dear Taurus, and this can at times feel exciting, but at other moments, unsettling. Issues come to light that originate from within or a secret could be revealed. The need to be discreet can surface. The Moon moving through your home and family sector all day suggests that you stand to gain the most emotional satisfaction from familiar, comfortable activities. This is in fact a good time for connecting with loved ones, although people seem to need their space today.
Gemini

There can be impulsiveness or impatience experienced today, dear Gemini. Try to center yourself so that you don’t do something rash that you’ll later regret, as you’re more inclined to act on ego or emotion rather than reason today. You may push yourself mentally, but when it comes to your social life, try not to get too emotionally involved. People can be unreliable or rebellious. This is temporary and only a reflection of some inner discontent, not necessarily important issues. Changing schedules may very well push you into a better place.
Cancer

There can be a general feeling of discontent around you today, dear Cancer. Expressing not only tolerance for others’ input, but appreciation too, helps you to rise above the more difficult energies of the day, which are unlikely to be too serious. Impulsiveness should be watched for. Love is complicated, but feelings that emerge can illuminate insecurities so that you can learn from them. There can be tense energies when it comes to business, career, or reputation matters with Uranus in your solar tenth house in difficult aspect to the Sun. Solutions may not be obvious right now, but remind yourself that you have plenty of time to work through problem areas going forward.
Leo

There may be some tension between you and a significant other today, dear Leo, or there can be a disconnect in one-on-one interactions. You could be feeling rebellious, and this can aggravate someone close to you. Generally speaking, this is a time for confronting aspects of yourself that are interfering with success. This is an important process, but not always an easy one. As the day progresses, easier energy is with you. Even so, emotions are strong with the Moon in your sign all day. As well, we are building towards a Full Moon, which can elevate emotions in general.
Virgo

You do not want to be limited by boundaries or barriers today, dear Virgo, but keep in mind that others may be in the same frame of mind. There can be some tension and impatience with routine, work, and schedules. Work on a change rather than resorting to giving something up altogether. Taking a breather from whatever it is that is frustrating you can also help. It’s time to do something different or to change your methods with Uranus challenged today. Accept surprises rather than let them discourage you, because in the process, you could learn something entirely new and very valuable. The Moon in your privacy sector all day suggests that the most emotional satisfaction is likely to be found in some form of withdrawal or rest.
Libra

You can be feeling a little bored with routine and ordinary things today, dear Libra, and you’d be wise to take the initiative to change the scene. If you don’t recognize your inner need for change, it can come from the outside, and might possibly be disruptive or otherwise unwelcome. It’s important to remain flexible. You might want to avoid jumping to conclusions or stirring the pot about something that you don’t yet know enough about. The Moon is in your friendship sector all day, and you’re inclined to gravitate towards easygoing people and situations.
Scorpio

The need to create or maintain a harmonious environment dominates now, Scorpio, but getting to that point can entail some conflict! There is very restless energy with you today, although you might also discover that it’s really about needing a change of pace. It’s not the time to stick rigidly to a game plan, to automatic patterns of relating, or to a particular routine. You may not learn something new if you do. We are building towards a Full Moon, exact tomorrow, and this can stimulate stronger emotions surrounding your friendships and dreams.
Sagittarius

There is generally positive, forward moving energy with you today, dear Sagittarius, although there is a tendency to not want to follow the rules. You have an appetite for something more than the usual. An inner need for change may not be recognized if you’re running on autopilot, but is present and can attract unusual circumstances into your life. Be wary of giving off mixed signals, as you may be flirtatious but not necessarily knowing exactly what you want. You prefer to be a free spirit right now. Enjoy the moment, but be careful that you also listen to others’ input.
Capricorn

You’re more inclined to observe than to take action today, dear Capricorn, but there can be some restlessness to deal with. Problems encountered today tend to have little or no staying power, so avoid putting too much of yourself into them. There can be a rebellious feeling with or about family matters, or restlessness with things as they are. Focus on moving forward, and the best possible way to do so. We are building towards a Full Moon, exact tomorrow, and people around you could be a little volatile emotionally. Something that you’ve been avoiding, or that has been building inside you, can come to light today or tomorrow.
Aquarius

There is a nice feeling of forward movement today, dear Aquarius, although there may be a lack of plans as well, and this can lead to a feeling of restlessness. Avoid committing to something until you’re in better touch with what you truly want. Negotiations are unlikely to be fruitful today as both parties may be worried more about their freedom than about coming together. There can be a sense that others are not fully appreciating you or not “getting” you. Consider that someone who undermines you is more than likely jealous of you. Watch for impulsive spending and focus on getting into better touch with your own needs.
Pisces

You can have a strong desire to make order out of chaos today, dear Pisces, but this can be a little difficult with a Sun-Uranus minor challenge. Be aware that you may be overpaying, either emotionally or literally, or both. Keep things moderate. Patience may seem to be in short supply right now, but do your best to avoid nervous tension, which will distract you from making fair and important assessments. Resolve to be flexible and to allow for errors in order to make the best of the day. If possible avoid tasks that require a lot of concentration, as these may only serve to frustrate.

LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
FIXED STRONG
We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.
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 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 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).
