Horoscopes
Aries
Good energy is available for detaching yourself a little today, dear Aries, and perhaps letting your mind wander – things that can help you to detox and let go of accumulated stress. A helpful conversation, invitation, or piece of news may be part of the picture. You are likely to come up with some new spins on old problems, as your thinking is fresh right now. Flashes of insight can be experienced. Today is strong for connecting with friends; but it’s not ideal energy for practical matters, as important details are likely to be missed or ignored. This can be a dreamy, creative time.
Taurus
This can be a strong day for letting go of resentments, dear Taurus, and detaching yourself from life just enough to get to a more positive perspective on it. Take extra time for relaxing activities. Listen to your gut instincts when approaching decisions, particularly those related to career, life direction, or public relations. You can come up with great ideas or you might solve a long-standing problem. You are more able to assess matters with some level of detachment, and practical activities tend to fare well now as a result.
Gemini
Your mind is investigative today, dear Gemini, and although this may not be the most productive of days, you can come to interesting insights. Important discoveries may be made now. You are putting everything into perspective rather than compartmentalizing. Instead of simply shooting the breeze, you are more inclined to discuss broader philosophies now. You seem to have your finger on the pulse of future trends, and this enables you to come up with inventive and timely solutions to problems and ideas for future projects. Friendships are stimulating and lively. Networking can lead to useful and/or pleasant discoveries. You may need to make changes on the fly, but you’re especially adaptable, and others appreciate that quality.
Cancer
You are more intuitive these days, dear Cancer, and today is an especially strong time for opening up conversations that may not typically take place, as you are very rational about tricky or sensitive topics right now. Career matters can benefit today with a little bit of research. The discovery of a new way to approach a nagging problem can be exciting. There can be some listlessness experienced today, however, and emotional problems can impact physical energy tremendously, up or down. However, focused on forward-moving matters can keep you in good spirits.
Leo
Interactions with people close to you can be very lively and stimulating today, dear Leo. Sharing an intellectual problem to solve with someone can be rewarding. This directs energy towards a constructive puzzle to work through, rather than unproductive conversations and situations. While you may not be digging deep today, there can be a pleasing level of emotional detachment experienced that allows for open and honest conversations, and this is wonderfully useful from time to time. This is unlikely to be a very productive time in a strict sense, but it’s a good day for detoxing and letting go of tension.
Virgo
This can be a strong time for both intellectual and emotional breakthroughs, dear Virgo. Mercury, your ruler, is in harmony with Uranus in your investigative eighth house, and this can be a time for important or helpful discoveries. New methods, health discoveries, or solutions to work problems can be in the offing now. Your thinking is ahead of your time, and you have the chance to breathe new life into old routines and projects, so take advantage. You are in better shape if you let tensions go and ease off on pressure to meet goals. With some mental and emotional freedom, your mind can take you to interesting places.
Libra
This can be a nice time for coming to an agreement or an exciting new plan/idea with someone, dear Libra. A conversation can solve a lot of problems as minds open to possibilities. There is a potential for a highly stimulating conversation with a loved one or love interest. You are especially open-minded and can approach normally taboo topics, or the opposite – dull topics – with a lively spin today that attracts others to you. Allow yourself some freeform thinking now. Your bigger-thinking skills are strengthened so that you may be thinking about the long term and the overview. Petty problems may be seen as tiny hiccups in a much bigger plan, and with this perspective, you’re in great shape. The Moon is in your sign all day, but is also void much of the day, indicating a need to take things easy rather than begin all-new projects.
Scorpio
The Moon in your privacy sector all day signals an emotional need for more time to yourself so that you can recharge, dear Scorpio. Getting extra time to think and muse is especially helpful with a Mercury-Uranus aspect occurring now that stimulates creative, progressive thinking. There’s great energy for letting go and moving forward. You can talk through almost anything now, and you can be very persuasive. Being especially open and forthcoming with family can be rewarding. Your thinking is forward-looking and positive, and you can approach domestic matters and routines or work in a new way. You might hear or discover news about a health issue, possibly an alternative approach, that benefits you now and in the future.
Sagittarius
People are attracted to your unique perspective today, dear Sagittarius, as well as your personal convictions. Strive to be as open to a new idea as possible right now, as you have something to learn from a friend, sibling, or partner now. On the flip side, you’re also in great shape for providing some guidance to others. People may be hanging on your words. There is a strong ability to express yourself in positive and even inspiring ways now. Open and honest conversations with others, particularly a partner, lover, or child, can be in focus today.
Capricorn
Today’s energies are strong for money and practical matters, dear Capricorn. Family matters are also in good form, and progressive ideas about how to make yourself feel more secure (or comfortable) can be easy to come by. Your ideas can be marketable today. Your thinking is creative, particularly along practical, financial, and business lines. Conversations with family members can be productive. Focus on the broader goals rather than the details now, as the energies of the day don’t especially favor pesky little details, which can be saved for a later date. You can talk a friend or family member through a difficult stretch right now with inventive solutions. The atmosphere is open and honest.
Aquarius
Your ruler, Uranus, influences our thinking and communications today, dear Aquarius, with a harmonious aspect between Uranus and Mercury. Mercury happens to be in your sign, so this can be considered an extra boost – a very strong time for communications. You are especially charming and your your intelligence is marked and obvious to others. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now. There could be good news coming in, or a matter that has been stuck moves forward. Personal appeal is powerful.
Pisces
Our minds are more tuned into progressive ideas today, dear Pisces. There is light, creative energy to the day, and while you may not be especially productive, you can come up with great ideas or insights. This can be a powerful day for letting go of outdated or dysfunctional behaviors and attitudes, and identifying and holding on to elements of your past that truly work for you. You may reconcile with a family member, or grow a close relationship now. You can be privy to some interesting news or revelations today. At the very least, you’ll hear about something previously hidden and this helps jump-start your own thinking processes.

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.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 26th:
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).
