Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

Venus enters your solar eleventh house today for a stay until March 11th, dear Aries. It’s a light, easy influence that supports your friendships, whether they’re current, new, or developing. You might enjoy some experimentation with projects, endeavors, and connections. It can be a good time for money from a business. As Venus and Pluto head into alignment today, it’s an auspicious time to make amends, make connections, or start anew. You’re getting an honest glimpse into problem areas and a window into your deepest needs–a potent combination. There can be a significant connection with someone or a powerful idea, or you could connect with a deep desire to work towards a dream or cause. This transit favors digging deep and discovering your needs and wants–perhaps ambitions you didn’t realize you had. Love feelings can dominate, and they can be about a person, idea, or project. You could be in the position to purge, release, and move forward.

Taurus

Venus begins its transit of your career and reputation sector today, dear Taurus. Until March 11th, this cycle boosts your public or professional appeal and enjoyment in pursuing your goals. Today, as Venus and Pluto head into alignment, you embrace your ambitions or longer-term goals. This transit suggests overcoming obstacles, enjoying more professional influence, or feeling empowered through your current mission. You might feel you need something (or someone) with great intensity, but love-hate feelings can be involved. Facing some truths that stimulate your fears, particularly in your career, with your work, or concerning wellness. Aim to dig deep and recognize ambitions you haven’t truly acknowledged until now. You can be exceptionally focused, which may also help attract the right resources. You might see your goals more clearly, but it’s also a fine time to explore your concerns about your position, performance, future, and life direction.

Gemini

Venus begins its transit in harmony with your sign, dear Gemini, and will stick around in your solar ninth house until March 11th. Your ideals or hopes about love and money are set high during this cycle. It’s a good time to un-complicate your life and relationships in some significant manner. Even so, Venus meets Pluto, which can be intense temporarily! You can be especially motivated and excited about an idea or subject, and others are especially interested in what you have to say, teach, or share. You’re a magnet now! It’s also a strong day for enjoying learning and developing your skills or knowledge, perhaps with or because of someone special. Connecting with a partner or your relationship needs can be exciting, or sharing a personal belief or mindset can bond you with someone. You can fill up with a desire to make profound changes that last, putting you in a position of power. It can be a time to reinvent yourself through new ideas, knowledge, and life experience. You might experience some tension or fear with these things but also a growing determination to live a more engaging life. Working with differences, making compromises, and finding a balance are essential strategies today.

Cancer

Venus enters an intimate, complex sector of your solar chart today, dear Cancer, influencing this house until March 11th. This transit can bring up important themes of passion, attachment, and intensity in your love life or relationship with yourself. As Venus heads into alignment with Pluto today, you can enjoy connecting with your more intense feelings and deeper desires. These can lead you to exciting discoveries, although there is also a chance they lead to demanding behavior! It’s important to remember to respect your boundaries while enjoying yourself. Whether with relationship issues or finances, it’s better to face problems than hide from them, as this is a day for seeking answers and digging for truths. Aim to nurture a positive attachment to a project. Creatively speaking, you can draw upon raw and deep feelings today to create something magical. It can be a day to recognize your need for more from your relationships or projects and activities. And, if your needs are unmet, aim to use your intensity for something productive. The desire to bring something to a new level can be pleasantly motivating, whether it’s an idea, project, or relationship.

Leo

Venus begins its transit of the sign opposite to yours today, dear Leo, making it a great time to pay special attention to your relationships. You seek harmony and agreement during this cycle that lasts until March 11th. It’s a good time to bring more balance to your life, make peace with people, express your interest and affection, and go to greater lengths to understand others. Today, Venus heads into alignment with Pluto, which can inspire you to throw yourself into a happy, rewarding pursuit. You may feel that you’re on the verge of a breakthrough or turning point with self-expression and interactions. You’re seeking extra emotional stimulation. It can be a vital time for making a deeper connection with someone special in your life, even if the power of emotions stimulated now can sometimes take you by surprise. If someone is pulling up strong feelings in you, consider this a chance to understand yourself better. It’s a great time to learn from differences, as this is the best route toward increased intimacy. Breaking out of worn-out relating patterns could be a goal now.

Virgo

Venus enters your work and health sector today, dear Virgo, starting a favorable cycle for bringing harmony to your daily life. During this cycle, which lasts until March 11th, you’re inclined to show your affection through help and service. You feel more joy in doing your part with your chores or work. Today, Venus is about to meet Pluto, and you can experience a moment of truth and, possibly, extra motivation to kick a habit. Your feelings are strong, and you can be emotionally sensitive but pleasantly inspired to make changes. Work and health matters may gain traction, or you may enjoy more profound ambition and determination to improve them. Interactions can be more intense than usual but also very rewarding. You can be excited to get around an obstacle–there is a turning-point feeling to this energy. The effort, passion, and love you put into what you’re doing shows, and it benefits you.

Libra

Venus enters a compatible sign to yours today, dear Libra, moving into harmony with your sign until March 11th. This cycle is good news for your personal appeal, enjoyment, and love life. It also improves your ability to see and judge value, benefiting you on both personal and financial levels. With the pleasant intensity of a Venus-Pluto transit influencing today, you can enjoy fantastic insight. You’re ready to embrace activities that are absorbing or demanding. You’re exceptionally close to your desires, wants, and needs, which can be disconcerting at first but enlightening. If you aim to manage your reactions, it can be a fine time for creative or romantic endeavors that stand to benefit from commitment, depth, and focus. You can tap into or draw upon your deeper feelings and apply them to whatever you are doing now, with great success. Facing a truth or acknowledging desires or ambitions empowers you now, and it can be a positive turning point. Create something from the heart for the best results now.

Scorpio

Venus enters your home and family sector today, dear Scorpio, for a stay until March 11th. It’s a time to bring more harmony, diplomacy, balance, or beauty to the home environment. You’re a little more protective of your heart in the weeks ahead. You might take this time to connect with and learn about your inner needs. Aim to build up your confidence rather than push your boundaries during this period. Today, however, Venus heads into alignment with Pluto, and you can learn much about the people you care about and your own needs. Revealing interactions with family members or those very close to you can occur–your affections magnify with this transit. Feelings of love can intensify, and if your relationships are satisfying, you can feel on top of the world. Similarly, if they’re missing the mark, you can feel the lack more deeply than usual. It can also be a time for going the extra mile for a stronger sense of security. Your appeal is powerful, and your drive and determination are strong.

Sagittarius

Venus moves into your communications sector today, dear Sagittarius, for a stay until March 11th, and you’ll take more pleasure in daily affairs, connecting with old or new friends, exploring mental interests and topics, and learning new things. Love and communication tie in strongly with one another in this cycle. Today, Venus approaches alignment with Pluto, and close relationships can thrive with special attention and intensity. You can be in an excellent position to communicate your feelings or persuade and delight with what you say. You’re seeking inspiration but also some passion and intensity. Making important changes or putting effort into a personal plan or project close to your heart can figure strongly. Conversations, interests, projects, and matters to do with the mind can bring you together with someone, or you’re enjoying these things more thoroughly.

Capricorn

Venus moves out of your sign and into your values sector today, dear Capricorn, where it will transit until March 11th. Affections stabilize during this cycle, and, more than usual, you value simple pleasures. Circumstances seem to frame your natural talents nicely. Today, with Venus heading into alignment with Pluto, new insights into money matters or business affairs can emerge, and so can deep feelings about what you have and don’t have. Ideally, you’re motivated to get over a hump related to money, time, ownership, or respect. You’re more willing to seek and face the truth, helping you reach a place where you’re ready to make vital and meaningful changes. There can be an opportunity to make full use of a resource or talent. You can discover ways to make more of what you have, and it’s a turning-point moment. For best results, look for where you may be overly attached and aim to let go even a little to get yourself into a healthier place. It’s a vital time for connecting with your desire for improvement.

Aquarius

Venus moves into your sign today, dear Aquarius, for a stay until March 11th. This transit brings on a fine trend for feeling comfortable in your own skin and attracting what you want into your life. You’re freer with your feelings and more inclined to pamper or enjoy yourself more fully in the weeks ahead. With Venus and Pluto heading into alignment in your sign today, you may want to move a personal plan forward. Gaining self-understanding can be in focus. Attracting what or who you want comes more readily. There can be a competitive, possessive, and emotional tone to the day, mostly pleasantly so, and an inherent need for change is with you. In truth, the internal changes you make now can be defining. You can feel pleasantly ambitious.

Pisces

Venus moves into your solar twelfth house today, dear Pisces, where it will travel until March 11th. This move can mark a winding-down period with your affections or a period when you’re reconsidering specific projects, attitudes, or attachments. You seem to need time to get in better touch with your own feelings in the weeks ahead, and with much activity in this area of your chart already, this can be the case in many life departments. Today is strong for epiphanies and discoveries as Venus and Pluto head into alignment. You can experience a meaningful review of your feelings or relish a powerful moment. Those things that leave you feeling insecure or guilt-ridden need to go, but first, you need to uncover their source, and doing so now is within reach. There may be recognition or reward for past actions, a pleasant surprise from the past, or good feelings and happiness in your inner or private world today. Desires are strong and can overpower you today, making channeling them constructively especially important. There can be sudden, revealing moments.

Signs, Elements, Modes, & Lunar Phase

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes

Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac

TAURUS STRONG

Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

AQUARIUS STRONG

Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.

Today’s Elemental Balance

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.

AIR STRONG

Air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. 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.

Today’s Modal Balance

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

The Fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. 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.

MUTABLE WEAK

We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.

Today’s Lunar Phase

LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER

Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.

We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 16th:

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 the Moon 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).

We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely.

(Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
