Horoscopes
Aries
With your ruler, Mars, parallel Venus and the Moon in your sign much of the day, you can feel in your element on one hand, dear Aries, but on another, you may not know where to direct all this extra energy. Later today, others may not seem to be onboard, willing, or eager to follow along – they’re not of much help to your feelings of unrest! Tension can result over a difference of opinion, but the problem may run deeper than the topic. It may be difficult to get through your regular routine or work. Some delays can be experienced now that can temporarily play with motivation levels.
Taurus
There can be a reminder of a dream, idea, or plan may no longer be feasible today or tomorrow, dear Taurus, and this can be discouraging. Even so, it may only take some refinement of your expectations to get back on track. Some of you could experience a clash of values or opinions with someone now, or are meeting with disapproval. You might draw up some doubts about a friend, or there could be confusing signals in a friendship. It’s important to be patient right now – it’s not the time for cutting corners. Be gentler with others, as there can be hypersensitivity today. The Moon enters your sign this evening, and emotions that you’ve brushed off may now take center stage.
Gemini
The day is likely to be quite sociable, dear Gemini, but by evening, you’re ready to take things easy. Even so, some of you could be dealing with a reality check or disappointment today and tomorrow. It may be about a relationship or a career matter, but any apparent slowdowns occurring now require patience and a positive attitude. With the Sun and Saturn in hard aspect to one another, relationships can be a little awkward, strained, and possibly downright cold. This is a time for thinking in simpler terms and getting the basics right before moving forward.
Cancer
After a smooth enough morning, if your work or daily life has become cluttered or dysfunctional in any way, dear Cancer, you’ll feel it strongly today, as disorganization may limit your ability to enjoy other activities that you’ve been looking forward to. Energetically, you could be feeling drained, and possibly overwhelmed by your responsibilities. Try not to pile on more problems and instead focus on simplifying. Reality checks may not be fun, but they also point you to flaws that need to be addressed, and can be blessings in disguise.
Leo
You might continue to feel spirited today, dear Leo, but perhaps not knowing where to head. Later today and into tomorrow, you might experience a letdown or rejection. It’s not the easiest time to get close to someone, and responsibilities may weigh you down. Others may be unhelpful, disapproving, or in their own worlds so that you have a sense that you’re pretty much left to your own resources. However, as you go about your business on your own, you may very well enjoy it. Today is good for getting back into the working “groove”. Temporary setbacks may discourage now, but ultimately contribute to happiness in the long term.
Virgo
While there remains some creative energy with you today, dear Virgo, the Sun and Saturn are approaching a square, and this can introduce some frustrating energy into the day. People may be a little tight or spare with their emotions, or could seem withholding. Relations with family or a partner (or even between the two) could be strained as a result. If there are weaknesses on the home front, they tend to make themselves known. Difficulties in the family dynamic can be an issue today or tomorrow. Instead of escaping problems, try to begin work on fixing them, even in small ways. Areas of weakness are magnified now, but if you work on building and strengthening problem areas, you’ll be better off for it.
Libra
When the Sun and Saturn meet in difficult aspect, dear Libra, there can be a reality check of sorts as we compare what we want to do with what’s realistic. Areas of neglect or weakness in our lives tend to be in the spotlight somehow, and this can feel a little discouraging. In fact, however, if we learn from our humbling experiences, we can work on strengthening problem areas. It may not fix everything in the moment, but we’ll be one step further along. Because Saturn is currently transiting your solar third house, problem areas for you can revolve around work and study responsibilities, errands you haven’t yet run, and other daily activities that require attention. The third house also rules communications, transportation, neighbors, siblings, and studies. Limits here can interfere with work, and can drain your energy as well. On days like these, it’s good to put your head down, tend to business patiently, and follow rules. Fortunately, you also have a Venus-Mars parallel that’s boosting your personal magnetism through all of this.
Scorpio
There can be a pleasingly challenging tone to the first half of the day, dear Scorpio, although you may not know where to direct your energies. With a somber Sun-Saturn square approaching, patience is required of you as the day progresses (and into tomorrow). Your attention is drawn to limitations, likely having to do with resources, including money, and this clashes with what you want to do or with filling your desires. Another possibility with this combination is a sense that others are not treating you for what you’re worth, or for what you deserve. It’s important to be patient, to think in realistic, practical terms, and to learn from any setbacks or discouraging situations.
Sagittarius
A rather playful quality can continue this morning, dear Sagittarius, but as the day advances, we can feel some heaviness with the Sun and Saturn approaching a hard aspect. With Saturn in your sign, you may feel its weight a little more than most. There may be a feeling of being cut off from others or left to your own resources. Sometimes problems with Saturn in our sign have to do with delivery – the way we ask for something (if we’re not confident about asking), or not asking for help or support at all. You might feel a little drained now, particularly with obligations or limitations magnified. Make adjustments to plans rather than scrap them altogether.
Capricorn
While you may be riding on a feeling of creative excitement carried over from yesterday as you begin the day, dear Capricorn, circumstances seem to conspire to remind you of your limitations later today. It’s better to focus on what will work best in the long term rather than the moment when the Sun and Saturn are in difficult aspect. Communications may be blocked, delayed, or negative. However, slowdowns can point you to areas of waste that can be corrected. There isn’t instant gratification right now, but not to worry. In time, if you keep working steadily towards your goal, things will become clearer. Think things through and wait things out.
Aquarius
A Sun-Saturn connection can feel a little deflating, particularly after some high-energy days, dear Aquarius. Frustrations with a friend, concerns about money, or possibly a reality check for a plan or dream could be the circumstances with your sectors of friendship, goals and ideals, and money/values involved. People in your life may not be as obviously supportive, but try not to take this to heart. If others’ dramas are bringing you down, opt for a more peaceful, solo solution temporarily. Tend to your responsibilities, believe in yourself, and honor your commitments. These things will get you over almost any hump.
Pisces
Your ego needs are stronger than usual today, dear Pisces, but they can be difficult to satisfy now with the Sun in your sign in challenging aspect to Saturn. The tendency to brood or withdraw as a result is strong. Rise above it, and you win. You may not get what you want just now, likely due to career or other responsibilities and limitations, but any slowdowns experienced today can help you to focus your attention on those things that truly matter in the long term. Today is about reshuffling your priorities.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 22nd:
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).
