Horoscopes
Aries
This is another strong day for resolving problems with friends, business, and even computer problems, dear Aries. However, there may be something that you missed in previous days that resurfaces for attention. This is about tying up loose ends and making important adjustments. If you’ve been overdoing attention to work recently, you may feel it affecting your social life and personal time more intensely now and look for a solution to the imbalance. The Moon moves into your solar eighth house this morning, putting you in an investigative, observant emotional state. You can learn important things about the people around you and your own motivations today and tomorrow.
Taurus
With the Moon entering your partnership sector this morning, dear Taurus, doing your relating and interacting well gives you the most satisfaction on an emotional level. Put the focus on significant people in your life for best results now. With Mercury at the top of your chart these days, you are rarely short of ideas related to business and long-range, life-path goals. However, filtering them is not quite so straightforward. It can be difficult to know where to begin, let alone put all of them into action. Take steps to narrow things down, pace yourself, and prioritize. Wait a couple days before launching new projects or buying big items, just to be sure these things are still viable.
Gemini
You are eager to learn and experience new things these days, dear Gemini, with an emphasis on your adventure sector, but you can also often be house-bound as Jupiter in your home and family sector this year can convince you that sticking to familiar places and people is the way to go. In truth, you need both in approximately equal measure. Even though you’re enjoying time at home more than usual, there are times when you can feel quite restless, wanting to spread your wings and experience new places. Allow your thoughts to wander, but take more care when making decisions about practical matters, as you might find the details boring or perhaps depressing. Plans may not get off the ground just for now, but this is a temporary condition. The Moon moves into your work and health sector this morning, which can help motivate you to take care of business.
Cancer
The Moon moves into your pleasure, romance, and entertainment sector this morning, dear Cancer, and this can have a freeing, pleasing effect on your emotions. It brings you out of your shell as you become more willing to share yourself with others. Mercury forms a minor but challenging aspect with Jupiter today, and interactions with others may not go smoothly as a result. You may need to be discreet with what’s communicated, or sidestep tricky topics for now. This is a time for adjusting your expectations if you’ve been overshooting. Even if you feel like you can take on the world now, try not to take on more than you can handle on a regular day.
Leo
The Moon moves into your home and family sector this morning, dear Leo, and immersing yourself in familiar situations with familiar people may lead to the greatest emotional satisfaction today as a result. Communications can suffer a little from off timing right now with an awkward Mercury-Jupiter aspect, and there could be a disagreement about values or money matters in the mix. Try not to nurture an idea that you may regret putting “out there” later on, such as a commitment or promise. Keep things open and free just for now, as there can be a strong tendency to overestimate our capabilities today. It may be wise to avoid big purchases or business decisions for now.
Virgo
The Moon moves into your communications sector this morning, dear Virgo, and for a couple of days, you are especially open to making connections, learning, and sharing. Today, your ruler, Mercury, forms a minor clash with Jupiter in your sign. This can pit work and personal needs or pleasure against one another. While your mind is geared towards work and duty, another part of you is looking for ways to free yourself from details and problems. You can be in an indulgent mood today, often feeling more like relaxing than working. Feeling good might in fact interfere with your judgment on a work or health matter, so take things slowly.
Libra
The Moon moves into your values and resources sector this morning, dear Libra, and you have a tendency to take into account, and hopefully appreciate, all that you have. Look for ways to enjoy the moment. News that comes in today may not be entirely accurate, or could be misunderstood. Some might suffer a feeling of too much information or mental stimulation that leads to a slight feeling of chaos and tension. Avoid talking too soon or too much about a plan. Otherwise, look for simple, healthy, and healing activities to boost your mood. Clarity will come in your personal life within a couple days.
Scorpio
The emotional Moon enters your sign this morning, dear Scorpio, making it a good time to really listen to what your emotions have to say. Even so, sometimes this happens in a pressing manner and you can feel quite impatient about getting your needs met. Try not to treat emerging feelings as emergencies. You have time! Today may not be especially productive, but possibly quite enjoyable at times. A disagreement may turn into something more today, however, so try not to take things too personally, and avoid getting caught up in drawing strict lines between right and wrong. For some, there may be a conflict experienced between friends and family.
Sagittarius
The Moon moves into your privacy sector this morning, dear Sagittarius, and will only emerge in your solar chart in your sign on Monday morning. This gives you a couple of days to think about emotional needs that may need to bite the dust so that you can move forward a lighter, happier, freer person. Jupiter, your ruler, forms a minor challenging aspect with Mercury today, which can lead to some misjudgments or misunderstandings. Try to postpone major decisions or commitments. Something you say may be exaggerated or misunderstood, so you may want to be a little more vigilant with your words today. Look for details that you may have missed in your larger plans that require a second look.
Capricorn
The Moon moves into your wishes, ideals, and friendship sector this morning, dear Capricorn, where it will spend a couple of days. Applying yourself to socializing, networking, connecting, and planning can be especially satisfying on an emotional level. Even so, there is some need to watch for miscommunications today as Mercury and Jupiter form an awkward angle, and our short-term thinking may not jive well with long-term goals. While some of your ideas about money and business are doable, wait out those that come to you now, as double-checking facts and figures before moving ahead with a project is wise.
Aquarius
The Moon moves to the top of your solar chart this morning, dear Aquarius, and this can turn your attention to matters related to reputation, distinction, leadership, career, and duties. Emotional satisfaction improves as you attend to these matters well. There can be some need to watch what you communicate today. You might want to take on a new challenge or project that eventually becomes a burden or you might find your motivation and interest fizzle over time. Even well-meaning promises may not be kept, so try not to invest yourself in promises made to you, and think twice about making your own commitments, just for now. While timing can be a bit off, the day is good for getting into better touch with yourself, even if it’s done through a bit of trial and error.
Pisces
Be a little more vigilant with your communications today, dear Pisces. It’s a day when timing can be a bit off and impatience can get the best of you. Even so, there is something to learn about the past or an old problem today – it just may not be obvious at first, so avoid jumping to conclusions. You could have a guardian angel type of experience with a friend today. Tame expectations so that good moods can be based on reality rather than an unattainable fantasy. If you are not truly in touch with your feelings, you could be unintentionally taking others on a ride with your vacillations. The Moon moves into your adventure sector this morning, and this can help you to get perspective, raising your spirits and keeping you focused on long-term goals.

Event: Tr-Tr Ven Cnj Pal
Description: Transiting Venus Conjunction Transiting Pallas
We are especially concerned with being fair to one another. We seek out balance and peace in our relationships. The platonic elements of a relationship may be emphasized now. This can also be a very creative, artistic time.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
AQUARIUS STRONG
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
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
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.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
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: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 27th:
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).
