Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries
Aries
Aries
The first half of the day is great for understanding your priorities, dear Aries. Practical matters can soar. It may be a good time to talk shop with associates or to run business ideas past friends. You can find real solutions to problems. There is some tendency to take things too personally later today, which can be a minor obstacle. However, teamwork is rewarding overall, and networking can stimulate new ideas. Committing yourself to a goal or pet project can help bring you down to earth and get your mind off emotional dilemmas.

Taurus
Taurus
Taurus
Today’s transits keep you on your toes, dear Taurus. There’s more color in your emotional world, and your feelings about a situation can take you by surprise. You could be nursing a desire to escape later today. Try to avoid procrastination, as there can be a solid opportunity to solve a problem if you discipline yourself to concentrate on practical priorities. Talking through emotional issues may not fare as well, with a tendency to be logical and reasonable with facts and figures and misjudging the intention behind the words when too close to a situation.

Gemini
Gemini
Gemini
Extracurricular activities can be stimulating, dear Gemini. While your exchanges are often fruitful these days, there can be some misunderstandings later today. Avoid making an offhand remark that hurts someone’s feelings, and consider that people do not necessarily mean what they say at the moment. People can be extra sensitive. With the Moon in your solar twelfth house all day, you’re nevertheless giving special attention to your inner world and perhaps looking back before you move ahead. The Moon will enter your sign tomorrow, beginning a new cycle on the level of feelings.

Cancer
Cancer
Cancer
You are relationship-focused today, dear Cancer, and it’s a good time to engage in conversations about goals and strategies. The Moon in your solar eleventh house pulls you out of your shell. Still, quiet study or research can turn up the answers you need and perhaps some great rewards. There can be conflicting desires later today, however, and it can be hard to please both your need for withdrawal and your need to perform and produce. Avoid stressing over the little things or speaking too quickly for the time being. If possible, take the time to sort out your thoughts or write them down.

Leo
Leo
Leo
You’re commanding attention now, dear Leo, and you tend to have more personal influence than usual. Your maturity is showing today, and it becomes you! You’re in a generally good position to see things more clearly and comprehensively if you take a partner’s viewpoint into account these days. Still, later today and into tomorrow, it can be difficult to concentrate with social or romantic problems on your mind. At the same time, it’s hard to socialize or enjoy yourself if you’re neglecting the work you need to do. Avoid taking mental disconnects with others to heart now, as the mind and the heart are unlikely to be on the same page temporarily.

Virgo
Virgo
Virgo
Channels for expression can be unusual but satisfying today, dear Virgo. There is generally good energy with you for work and health improvement these days. Certainly, you’re entertaining many new ideas, methods, or plans that excite you. Later today and into tomorrow, you could feel discontent with how your life is currently organized, and it can be challenging to know where to begin sorting it out. Try not to allow distractions to mess with your head, and aim to choose your words more carefully than usual.

Libra
Libra
Libra
Today’s Moon transit pulls you into observation mode, dear Libra. You’re inclined to wait and see. You could feel a little unsettled later today and into tomorrow, however. You might wish to escape routines at whatever chance you can get. However you express inner discontent, this may be a time when you itch to do something different but have a hard time envisioning what you’d like to change. There can also be a problem communicating from the heart, leading to misunderstandings. Aim to be more mindful of how you express yourself. As well, watch for quick and easy fixes that will come back to haunt you later. There can be some scattering of mental energies. However, a potentially healing or confidence-building conversation might occur with a partner or best friend.

Scorpio
Scorpio
Scorpio
The Moon spends the day in your partnership sector, dear Scorpio, and your relationships, feedback, and social life can assume more importance than usual. Conversations may be complicated when they have to do with emotional matters later today and into tomorrow. It’s best to make an extra effort to understand others before jumping to the conclusion that their intentions are poor. People may not express themselves clearly with a Mercury-Venus challenging transit in play, and there can be a general disconnect between the mind and the heart. Aim to rise above problems. Keeping your mind peaceful can lead to valuable insights into recent events or issues.

Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Sagittarius
Mercury in your communications sector is a generally strong influence for learning and connecting, dear Sagittarius, but it’s best not to skip steps today. Aim to be thorough with those things that require your full attention. Ultimately, you’ll feel more accomplished if you pay extra attention to details or duties you’ve ignored. You may be giving others mixed signals as part of you is living in the brain, and the other part is trying to tune into your intuition. Responses can be tentative. However, it’s a great time to play with ideas, whether or not they lead somewhere important.

Capricorn
Capricorn
Capricorn
You’re in a generally great place with ideas and problem-solving related to your money, resources, and practical world, dear Capricorn. There can be some misunderstandings later today and into tomorrow, however, as Mercury and Venus form a minor challenging aspect. A disconnect can be most prominent related to family or money matters. Check that you’re actually in agreement since there’s a tendency to perceive disagreement or disapproval when there is none right now. Consider that efforts put into improving home and family life can be meaningful.

Aquarius
Aquarius
Aquarius
Today’s transits encourage laying low and grounding yourself, dear Aquarius. Nevertheless, you’re not inclined to approach everyday matters in the same old ways. You’re innovating! Later today and into tomorrow, there can be some social blunders or mild misunderstandings to sort through, but excellent opportunities to learn and improve can also emerge. You are in perfect shape to concentrate in some ways, but distractions are plentiful in others. Dealing with others who are unsure of themselves can be frustrating. Still, you could find the motivation to connect with someone significant or with your own interests and paths of learning and sharing.

Pisces
Pisces
Pisces
Today’s Moon stirs your curiosity, dear Pisces. You’re enjoying your everyday life more than usual, but you’re also inclined to approach things in new ways, just to keep things fresh and interesting. You can be rather sensitive to what’s going on around you and to what’s said later today and into tomorrow with a Mercury-Venus minor challenge. It may be best to give others the benefit of the doubt. It may not be an ideal time for realistic thinking and communicating since lines can cross, and you might sense someone’s insincere. This may be a disconnect between the heart and the mind and nothing more. Fortunately, you could get the chance to use your talents in happy ways, and you gravitate to meaningful projects and activities once you’re able to focus and prioritize.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

 

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 25th:

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).
