Horoscopes
Aries
There is a real tendency to focus on the details today, dear Aries, but while you may forget to see the big picture this morning, later today, you’re likely to get to a better balance. This is an active time for studies, collaborating on projects, shared activities, or organizing a group endeavor. The practical side of your friendships, group associations, and projects benefits from your attention to detail now. People in your life show their support through their actions and help you to feel more secure. A realistic approach to your relationships is favored as overblown expectations never lead anywhere pleasant in the long run. Your standards are high for yourself today. You might decide to downsize in order to thrive – perhaps to focus on priorities or to put some of your ideas on hold so that you can spend time on something more fruitful.
Taurus
You’re taking some things quite personally this morning, dear Taurus, and in truth, you may not even know for certain whether you want to joke around or get serious. As the day advances, you’re clear about wanting to be productive, and fortunately, you have cosmic support for this. Your ambition is pleasantly stimulated, and you might be especially motivated to work on details that you usually prefer to avoid, particularly if these promise to further your cause. This is a great time to see your priorities and, while you need some frivolity in your life, some things can be cut out for your own good. Time wasters are good up to a point, but beyond that point, only seem to bring you down. Today, you can quickly hone in on what needs to go. You’re focusing on what makes you feel accomplished. Business benefits from using strategy in your planning.
Gemini
The Moon continues to transit your home and family sector, dear Gemini, and you seek both comfort and familiarity. However, from mid-afternoon forward, you’re encouraged to connect, share, and take a few personal risks. A Sun-Saturn aspect influences the second half of the day and puts you in a practical frame of mind. Since Saturn has been transiting your partnership sector, close relationships may have felt restrictive. Today, however, you see the benefits of this transit. You may be learning to live with fewer (not lower) expectations of others. Ideally, you’re expecting that others meet you halfway, and not expecting inhuman efforts as you attempt to put excessively idealistic views of partnering behind you. Today is strong for patience with others and for restoring faith through practical displays of affection.
Cancer
The Moon in your communications sector forms a square with Saturn in your work and health sector, dear Cancer, and there can be some frustration juggling personal interests and duties. This afternoon, you seek out more quiet time and freedom from over-thinking. There is excellent energy with you for being productive and focusing on priorities. Research and digging for answers can be appealing and rewarding now. You’re in a long-term cycle that puts more demands on you for effort in your work and accomplishing daily goals. Today, opportunities for you to work on building your health, both mental and physical can emerge. A mature approach is necessary with Saturn in your solar sixth house. This is a time for making your daily routine work for you.
Leo
The Moon in your resources sector encourages you to take stock of what you have, dear Leo, and to make the most of it. However, its square to Saturn this morning can serve as a reminder of what you don’t have, which can be temporarily discouraging. You’re able to pick yourself up, perhaps with the determination to make changes and improvements. Your ruler, the Sun, is approaching a harmonious aspect with Saturn, and friendly energy is with you for accomplishing something important to you, especially with or motivated by someone. Some of you might strengthen a love relationship or creative partnership. Your more dependable side is in the spotlight and attractive. Demonstrating yourself as reliable and prudent can bring rewards. For some of you, this can be a good day for partnering up with someone and organizing an area of your life, coming to a decision, or editing a project.
Virgo
The morning’s energies can be on the discouraging side, dear Virgo, primarily due to your duties getting in the way of the spontaneity you’re craving. However, as the day advances, you feel more and more comfortable putting in the work. For one, the Moon moves out of your sign and into a more patient sector of your chart. For another, the Sun and Saturn are moving to a harmonious aspect, encouraging you to see and work towards your priorities. Putting your domestic life in order may be the key to long-term happiness. Small changes can meet with success today and can make you feel more organized, in control, and on top of things. Your sense of tomorrow is healthy, and working on making today more secure will help you down the road. This is a time for seeking out ways to feel anchored and grounded.
Libra
The Moon continues to transit your sector of endings until mid-afternoon, dear Libra, after which it enters your sign, pulling you out of your protective shell. You crave more interaction and a real feeling of being alive and part of the action. A Sun-Saturn influence grounds you, however. Saturn does bring some challenges, but they are necessary and useful ones for the long-term. The Sun shines a positive light on responsibilities and discipline today, offering you the chance to see the benefits of hard work, planning, and effort. Fulfilling responsibilities helps make you feel useful and organized today. You have a stronger appreciation for order.
Scorpio
The Moon in your social sector until mid-afternoon encourages your sense of community and a desire to seek out like-minded people, dear Scorpio. However, its square to Saturn this morning can suggest blocks to your plans or an inability to get things moving smoothly and forward. However, as the day advances, a Sun-Saturn influence stimulates a strong desire to be on top of things, especially regarding money, home, family, and security matters. A desire to feel secure and grounded is with you. Small efforts to connect with family can go a long way towards strengthening ties. Slowing down can improve the quality of your work, and also your appreciation of the simpler things in life. This is a time for conserving energy and building strength. The Moon’s move into your privacy sector this afternoon can pull you into yourself for a couple of days.
Sagittarius
The Moon continues to transit your career and reputation sector until mid-afternoon, keeping you on your toes, dear Sagittarius. However, your heart may not be behind being on show or in demand this morning. As the day moves forward, however, the role of the responsible one grows more useful and becoming. Steady energy is with you for productivity on any number of routine tasks. When you feel overwhelmed, your best bet is to direct your attention to small but important tasks one by one, and today’s energies support this. The focus should be on those things that you’ve neglected that can now use your attention. This is a good time for being taken seriously and communicating with authority. As well, getting organized comes easily now.
Capricorn
With the Sun and Saturn, your ruler, moving into harmony today, dear Capricorn, you’re in a great position of authority. People respect you for your sterling qualities, and they see your value more clearly. There is steady, productive energy to the day that you, more than most, appreciate. You may be motivated to complete a project you’ve left unfinished. There are benefits to looking into ways to improve your finances, business, or practical affairs. Simplifying makes the most sense right now – as you clear the decks, you discover that you can be more productive and organized. Conserve energy and approach your tasks one at a time, step by step for best results now.
Aquarius
The Moon continues to transit your solar eighth house, and you’re inclined to observe and take notes, dear Aquarius. From mid-afternoon forward, however, you are raring to go and ready for action. A Sun-Saturn aspect influences the day, encouraging organization and a focus on the practical elements of any venture. You’re appreciating a logical, orderly approach to whatever you’re doing now. Especially regarding friendships and projects, you’re seeking out dependability. People may be helping out in practical, tangible ways. You might be leading a group or sharing your expertise with others quite successfully. Team efforts work well. Friendships work well because you can see them in a realistic light and appreciate them for exactly what they are.
Pisces
The Moon transits your partnership and then intimacy sector today, dear Pisces, and relationships are a strong focus. You may not be seeing eye to eye with a partner on long-term goals and methods, however, which can be a little discouraging. Even so, there is a stabilizing aspect influencing the day that helps you see the value of putting more order into your life. Eliminating waste in your professional life can be particularly useful to you. You are well-equipped to spot problem areas, and your mindset is geared towards self-improvement. You see your goals and performance in a realistic light which helps you make better decisions.

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 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 lifetime).
