Horoscopes
Aries
A friend might rub you the wrong way early today, dear Aries. What you say – or how you say it – could upset the apple cart. In fact, it may even be about what you don’t say. It’s hard to win! However, even if you’re not scoring brownie points with others just now, you can always choose to tune out distractions and interruptions to the best of your ability and let others work out their problems among themselves. The tendency now is to keep yourself busy, and particularly as the day advances, you’re in great shape for taking care of business.
Taurus
Decisions made by higher-ups may be frustrating early today, dear Taurus, as they seem to go against your plans, or indecision is the result of alternatives that seem equally good or bad! You might be reminded of responsibilities that you’d prefer not to fulfill. Nevertheless, you’re radiating good energy, particularly as the day advances. It’s a strong time for feeling comfortable and enjoying yourself. While topics of conversation should be selected carefully in the morning, very little is off the table later today.
Gemini
There can be a difference in opinion with someone that hangs in your aura early today, dear Gemini. Feeling a tad in the dumps is entirely possible now and might even help you to aim higher later. It’s a good time to check your facts and get caught up. Draw upon your ability to take it as it comes and to forgive and forget. Avoid major decision making if possible until confidence returns. As the day advances particularly, you’re in a good position to draw upon the support of loved ones or to enjoy comfortable downtime.
Cancer
There can be sensitivity to issues that might be brewing in your private life this morning, dear Cancer. Iron out these differences, but keep in mind that if there isn’t an immediate resolution, this doesn’t mean you’re not making progress. For your own sake, try to let things go and avoid getting wound up over small problems. You can get fired up about a belief or idea today, and you might be motivated to do something about it. Particularly as the day moves forward, there can be a comforting feeling of being at peace with the past.
Leo
You could feel that an important decision regarding a relationship needs to be made now, dear Leo, but in fact, you may not be seeing things clearly. Discern between feelings that come from a place of insecurity and those that come from your heart. You might feel that something is leading to a dead end, and you may want to investigate your alternatives. However, be careful not to jump into action based on current frustrations. As the day advances, it’s easier to be objective. In fact, you’ll feel particularly able to push emotions aside in order to take care of business.
Virgo
Watch for oversensitivity to what’s being said around you this morning, dear Virgo, as your ruler forms an awkward angle with Chiron in your partnership sector. Remember that responding defensively doesn’t resolve any problems. If taking care of yourself means tuning out others to a certain degree, then don’t hesitate to do so. Avoid a point of “too much information.” As the day advances, you’re in good form for creative and romantic inspiration. The Moon in your sign inclines you to seek out emotional stimulation, and you quite readily find it through recreational outlets.
Libra
Generally speaking, this is a good time for review and facing issues that you’ve neglected today, dear Libra. While a good part of you is focused on enjoying yourself and finding new avenues for recreation, another part wants to take care of business, and problems can emerge that keep you from fully exploring any one particular path. There might also be an issue with too much information that you’re dealing with now. Try not to divide your attention too much, as you may end up doing things halfway. Fortunately, those things considered to be problems now tend to have little or no staying power. The Moon stays in your privacy sector all day, boosting your need for quiet time or downtime.
Scorpio
This morning, it may be best to second-guess what you hear and avoid getting caught up in the rumor mill, dear Scorpio. Something that’s said or that you communicate can be taken the wrong way, and it may very well sting, good intentions or not. Later today is good for self-expression, however, as well as for testing the waters and going with the flow. Learning from misunderstandings is highly likely now. There is very little that you can’t talk through tonight.
Sagittarius
The tendency to reveal a little too much of your plans, or to say the wrong thing, is high early today, dear Sagittarius, and the atmosphere is ripe for misunderstanding. You could be feeling distracted or out of step right now. Simply take it easier than usual if possible. Sometimes after a disagreement, there is a strong feeling of growth and even a sense of having a new lease on life, and this is the kind of emotion you could be experiencing later today. You feel increasingly more in control and able to manage your life well. You can bring innovative ideas to your work and perhaps solve an old problem with a new method.
Capricorn
The vulnerability that you may be feeling these days can open the door to more compassion and understanding, dear Capricorn, not only with others but with your own emotions. This has the effect of building a more protective and nurturing environment for yourself. However, it can be a little tricky relating to others this morning due to sensitivity or exaggeration. Although you are in a good mood, you are slightly more vulnerable to mood swings if you don’t receive positive feedback, or you may struggle with doubts and lack of confidence in a decision you feel pressured to make. Later today, however, objectivity returns.
Aquarius
Information coming in early today may be too much or too superficial so that you’re not getting the complete picture, dear Aquarius. It may not be the best time to divulge a secret or something too personal about yourself. However, triggered areas may be revealing and could even lead to healthy conversations later today. Objectivity comes far more easily as the day advances. You’re able to talk through even the trickiest of problems tonight.
Pisces
Early in the day, there can be some frustration when it comes to decisions you feel pressured to make, dear Pisces. You can be confused about alternatives, and valuable information can be missing. Perhaps more importantly, you lack the confidence to decide. As the day advances, the comforts of a relationship or companionship can be highlighted. You could feel supported or reinforced, but more likely you will be playing the supportive role right now. Your intuition and sensitivity to hidden aspects of a situation are operating strongly now.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
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 12th:
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).
