Horoscopes
Aries
The Moon moves into your stable second house this morning, dear Aries, but you’re still raring to go. While good fortune may be coming to you today, you are more likely to be making your fortune now by taking definitive action on a matter. Resolution of a problem or the discovery of important information can be empowering. There can be a special project you’re working on that now advances. Settling old disputes can figure for some of you. Mercury moves into your social sector late afternoon, renewing your interest in making connections, as well as reawakening enthusiasm about a dream or project that may have been put on the backburner in January.
Taurus
A relationship, romance, or creative project can advance today, dear Taurus. You are making your own luck under a Mars-Jupiter connection that encourages you to follow your heart with courage. You may be going out on a limb to express your affections. Even if the reception seems a little cool right now, you’re likely to make a good impression. Someone in your life may be boosting your confidence in yourself. Pairing up with somebody can be beneficial now. While cooperative action is favored, you can also do well in friendly competitions. The Moon moves into your sign this morning, and your own mood tends to set the tone of the day.
Gemini
The Moon moves into your privacy zone this morning, dear Gemini, and you are drawn to activities that heal, replenish, and renew your spirit. Even so, a Mars-Jupiter connection tends to encourage taking action on a matter that’s important to you, or resolving a problem that’s been tripping you up. Work and home life are areas of special interest on these lines. This is a good time for finding ways to improve and advance your projects. You are more determined than usual to make things happen, and people around you either step out of the way to let you do your thing, or help you along now.
Cancer
This can be a time when a confident and courageous attitude makes things happen for you, dear Cancer. You’re attracting solutions, support, and opportunities now. You have a stronger than usual ability to express yourself powerfully yet warmly, which can open up new possibilities, connections, and interests to you. You might be able to move a creative or communications project forward. It’s easy to gain others’ cooperation today. You can be quite ardent about pursuing your desires and projects, as well as moving past obstacles that now seem less intimidating. The Moon’s move into your social sector this morning reinforces your need to connect with others, as well as with some of your cherished dreams and ideals.
Leo
The Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart this morning tends to nurture your ambitions, dear Leo. You’re more aware of your influence and reputation now. Mars and Jupiter connect today, helping along a home, family, business, or money matter. You’re inclined to want to make things happen now, rather than simply think about your next step. It’s a good time for home and family-related projects, as you are especially resourceful right now. Enthusiasm runs high for making money and taking care of personal possessions. Anything that improves your sense of safety and security will appeal now. Creative projects can be published or launched.
Virgo
The Moon’s move into your adventure sector this morning tends to pull you out of a state of heart-searching and into the mood for life experience. Energy today is strong on this front – you are a little braver, more willing to go out on a limb in order to move something forward, and inclined to express yourself confidently. It’s a good time for solving problems related to a communication matter or for breakthrough thinking in learning. You could have an “aha” moment now as the puzzle pieces come together. You are open and direct now. You might find the courage to approach someone you’ve been shy about contacting.
Libra
You can feel strongly motivated now, dear Libra, enough to take action aimed to improve your current circumstances, your sense of security, and your income or resources. You more readily identify sources of waste or fear, and take steps to put them behind you. Volunteer work or some other behind the scenes activity can be especially rewarding. This is true of the year in a general sense, but today, you’re more inclined to not only think it, but also do it! Mercury moves into your romantic and creative sector today, perhaps reawakening an interest in these things that first seemed to emerge at the beginning of the year. A relationship might advance at this time.
Scorpio
This is a great time for reaching out and connecting with others. Both cooperative and competitive efforts can thrive now, dear Scorpio, as Mars in your sign connects with Jupiter in your social sector. The key is taking some form of action to make improvements, to grow, and to advance. Sharing activities with others can lead to something very special and quite enterprising, or you may be gathering up a team/group or drawing upon the resources of an associate in order to move a project forward. Some of you may be launching a new money-making endeavor now. The Moon’s move into your partnership sector helps to balance out your me-you focus.
Sagittarius
A Mars-Jupiter connection today can fill you with a little more courage and energy, dear Sagittarius, so try to apply this well. You could be taking action on a personal or professional matter, solving a problem, or moving a project/plan forward now. Your own personal charisma is strong, although with Mars in your privacy sector, it’s a little more mysterious than usual (you’re keeping some things to yourself, or at least coming across that way!). Late afternoon brings Mercury into your communications sector – one of the best places for this planet to be – where it will stay until March 5th, increasing your desire to learn, share, and connect.
Capricorn
The Moon’s move into your sector of fun and showmanship this morning can bring you out of your shell, dear Capricorn, while Mercury turns your attention to practical matters and more serious affairs for a longer period, until March 5th. You can be especially clever with money and resourceful in your endeavors in the coming weeks. Today’s Mars-Jupiter connection boosts confidence, particularly on a social level. You can be feeling especially passionate or enthusiastic about a dream, belief, or idea now. This can be a strong time for publishing a work, joining a group or workshop, furthering a cause, or making a new friend. There can be a connection made with someone who will play a big role in your future.
Aquarius
This is another good day for pursuing your goals directly and with confidence, dear Aquarius. People are more inclined to lend a hand, offering moral or financial support more readily. and you’re getting in good with people in a position of authority or who have the ability to help you advance your interests. This is a time for combining energy with action, and looking out for opportunities where you may not have seen them before. Timing is quite good, although it’s important to watch your communications, as there is some tendency to come across as more serious or critical than you actually feel. While there is good energy for “outside world” matters today, the Moon moves into your home and family sector this morning, and you’ll relish any chance to cocoon and unwind.
Pisces
Today is very strong for reaching out to others, dear Pisces, although you may need to battle some moodiness or wavering confidence on this front. Sharing ideas and beliefs can be magical right now, and so can non-routine activities. A mini adventure can figure strongly and can be empowering as well. The Moon’s move into your communications sector boosts your curiosity, but Mercury’s move into your privacy zone late afternoon, where he will stay until March 5th, tends to pull you inward. It’s a great cycle for tapping into your inner wisdom. You might return to a fantasy or line of thinking that first emerged in the first week of January, and becomes more relevant now.

Event: Tr-Tr Mar Sxt Jup
Description: Transiting Mars Sextile Transiting Jupiter
We are enterprising, looking for opportunities, or creating them. Projects that require taking decisive action and enthusiasm are favored now. We may want to set things right and solve problems.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
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 STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 13th:
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 life time).
