Horoscopes
Aries
The harmony you crave in your relationships is rather easy to come by today, dear Aries. People are more cooperative than usual, and you are tuned into others’ needs and points of view. As the day advances, you can feel particularly directed and ready to take on a challenge. You share your ideas and discoveries with enthusiasm, and you could help someone put a plan into motion or resolve a problem. Conversations are lively and motivating. You quite readily and bravely face issues that need to be settled, and you communicate frankly. Choose today and tomorrow to get things done, particularly those activities that you may have put off. You can be particularly excited about personal plans and dreams or goals, although perhaps a little hasty. With Mars in your sign these days, you often act independently. Nevertheless, brainstorming can be very effective today.
Taurus
This is a favorable time for you to advance practical, work, and health goals, dear Taurus. You’ll find co-workers and people you deal with on a daily basis in cooperation, or at the very least, not standing in your way! You seek out practical ways to be of service. This can be a good time for discovering ways to heal or to improve health. Later today, you may open your eyes to something that you are now ready to see. This can be a time of dealing with problems hands-on and enjoying yourself in the process. Business affairs tend to work naturally and instinctively. Being direct and open leads to increased success right now.
Gemini
Cooperative energy is with you today, dear Gemini, and this leaves you feeling confident and even buoyant. Creativity is blossoming, and you’re looking at life with a sense that you can take on anything that comes your way. Clarity and objectivity increase even further as the day advances. Conversations can be spirited and motivating. Competitive activities tend to thrive. This is a good time for working on projects you want to publish or otherwise share with others and for expanding your understanding of a subject. You attract others through your words and ideas even more than usual today.
Cancer
Your emotional or personal life is in focus today, dear Cancer, and quite gratifying. You can feel particularly supported and content now. A sense of belonging or connectedness is something you seek today. While you can feel quite good simply spending time with others, as the day advances, you communicate with more clarity and confidence. You crave hands-on experience and want quick results. If you’ve been procrastinating on a matter, this is a time for putting it behind you once and for all. Talking strategy about business or financial matters can be successful. You might be valued for your shrewdness or opinions right now. You are perceptive now, and you can quickly discover the best thing to say or do to get where you want to go.
Leo
This is a potentially excellent day for cooperation and harmony with others, dear Leo, as well as productivity. Communications are rewarding. You can talk through almost anything, although you may be a little short on details, perhaps due to haste and enthusiasm. Travel or education plans can come together nicely. This can also be an intense time for connecting with others, shared ideas, and animated or action-oriented conversations. You can be inspiring now, and your enthusiasm is infectious. Today is especially favorable for negotiations and dealings with others, particularly on a one-to-one basis. Shared activities can thrive – intellectual ones even more so than others.
Virgo
The day is supportive of your practical affairs, dear Virgo. With your ruler, Mercury, in harmony with Mars, you are in a great position to be heard and understood, as well as to apply yourself to projects that excite you. Especially as the day moves forward, you can find things to do that are absorbing and motivating. Research, analysis, and other involving tasks can figure strongly now. You are communicating with more confidence and courage, although possibly quite curtly in haste. Long-term goals are clear. Today’s energies support quick decisions, solving problems, and frank discussions. You can be especially productive with your work and could be enthusiastic about pursuing a health program or fitness routine. You want results today, and you’re likely to get them!
Libra
The Moon is in your sign again today, dear Libra, but today, you’re likely to feel more in your element. There can be a sense of relief or good news coming in now. People in your life can be the source of valuable information today. Relationships can be strengthened through conversation or shared activities. Helping one another put an idea into action can be a theme now. Brainstorming helps the bonding process along. It’s a potentially fabulous day for creative work and social events. Quick, confident connections can figure strongly now. You may be a little flirtatious or particularly courageous about saying what you feel and pursuing your desires. If you need to, you can talk your way out of or into pretty much anything right now.
Scorpio
The Moon in your sector of rest and anonymity all day points to the need to regenerate your emotional “batteries,” dear Scorpio. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll be taking it entirely easy. In fact, a Mercury-Mars sextile influencing today can find you actively solving problems related to work or the home and family. You’re particularly enthused about investigating problems from their source – no cosmetic fixes for you right now! Decisions are quick and your sense of timing excellent. The learning process is exciting for you today. While a lot is going on behind the scenes, you are also quite driven and ambitious.
Sagittarius
This is a potentially advantageous day for friendships and communications, dear Sagittarius. Your conversations and interactions are more animated and energetic than usual. Community, network, and neighborly activities can be in focus today. Your social life can step up a notch now, or you may be starting conversations and making connections that you never expected to make. You are in a good position to make predictions and quick assessments, and discussions can be spirited. Extend help and watch how you expand your knowledge in the process. Communications may be more frank than usual, but refreshing as well, which is right up your alley.
Capricorn
Today is likely to be upbeat, dear Capricorn, with clarity in both your personal and professional lives increasing many times over. Sorting out problems comes easily and naturally with your determination to get things done. Focus can be on practical, financial, and domestic matters. What you can do with knowledge is more important to you today than knowing just for the sake of knowing – you want to produce something tangible. This is a time for pouring your energy into projects you care about with less focus on pleasing others and more concern for what builds your self-esteem, within reason of course. You might be investing in something for the home, or you may learn something that gives you a competitive edge in your career or business. You’re more aware of who’s watching, and people are noticing you more than usual, as well.
Aquarius
There has been quite a bit of attention to your personal needs, independence, and personal initiatives recently, dear Aquarius. Today, you are ready to put your ideas into motion. This is a day for cutting to the chase. Especially as the day progresses, you feel closer both to others and to your own heart. Insecurities are more easily put aside or even conquered. You are communicating frankly and perhaps broaching complicated subjects with ease and courage. You’re seeing opportunities and grabbing them. Even so, personal interests tend to compete with your duties and obligations today, and this can divide you and create a rather chaotic atmosphere.
Pisces
Revealing a secret or personal burden can be purging today and tomorrow, dear Pisces. Alternatively, you feel particularly directed and purposeful today, ready to get things done. Somebody important to you can come through in a pinch. Problem-solving is easy today. You thoroughly enjoy accomplishing something measurable, spending less time on thinking and talking about things and more time doing. Enthusiasm fuels your energy levels, and your mind is working at top speed. You’ll find people more cooperative than usual, or they leave you alone to do what you want to do! Your mind is investigative – you’re seeking out the hidden, and even if you aren’t, you find it anyhow. You might also retrieve a memory that has been eluding you recently.

BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
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.
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
CARDINAL STRONG

MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
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 15th:
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).
