Daily Astro Highlights/Horoscopes for each Sign:
Aries
Early hours are great for applying yourself to a pleasurable pursuit, dear Aries. The Moon spends the day in your creative sector, and you can be in a playful, celebratory mood. However, Juno has recently moved into your privacy sector, and you can be in a particularly strong need for extra rest and time to process recent events in your life. While you’ve been empowering yourself through your connections to others recently, you now feel a stronger need to build your inner resources. You can be especially productive in activities behind the scenes, and you may seek out some extra silence or time to yourself, during this cycle that lasts until April 28th. Activities that help you heal and release pressure are especially useful during this period.
Taurus
You can enjoy good conversations today, dear Taurus, and listening as much as you contribute is especially important now, as you can hear something that truly benefits you. It’s a good day for feeling sharp, motivated, and optimistic for the future. You might be thinking about traveling or higher education today. You’ve also entered a cycle, lasting until April 28th, that can find you especially invested in your friendships and sensitive to any power dynamics that seem to be off in your social circle. This is a time for gathering up more strength through your connections to others, and also through your long-term plans and happiness goals. Dreams, wishes, and hopes can be in stronger focus now.
Gemini
A love relationship may be enhanced by your willingness to communicate and allow someone to be themselves today, dear Gemini. It’s another powerful day for research of almost any kind – there are treasures to be found when you dig a little deeper, and help tends to be available when you need it most. The Moon spends the day in your communications sector, and this can encourage you to reach out and make connections. In the months ahead you take particular pride in your ability to handle your responsibilities and obligations as Juno transits your solar tenth house until April 28th. You’ll find that a vital key to feeling powerful and in control is through your attention to business, performance, and career. You can be especially sensitive to imbalances of power with a boss, parent, or authority figure at this time, and quite motivated to make things right/even. You may want to excel in your work, and you could be in the position to manage and lead, which you take more seriously now.
Cancer
Strategy is essential now, as it’s not the time for extraordinarily bold or flashy moves, dear Cancer. Show your integrity, faithfulness, and reliability as a Venus-Pluto aspect perfects this morning. Others are appreciating these qualities right now, and fortunately, they come naturally to you! Today is strong for connecting with a special someone. In other news, Juno is now transiting your ninth house and will continue to influence this area of your chart until April 28th. This supportive transit encourages you to gain more personal power through learning and developing your skills, which will be in focus for a couple of months. Look for ways to learn and study, not only for personal enjoyment but also for practical advantages. You’ll find that your ability to recall and absorb information is strengthened during this cycle.
Leo
With Juno’s recent entry into the sign of Pisces, dear Leo, you’re in a cycle that is particularly compelling for research of virtually any kind as well as understanding your close relationships and their power dynamics. You may be extra sensitive if you feel that people are not treating you with respect and equality, and it will be especially important to address areas of imbalance instead of letting the tension build to the point of eruption during this cycle that lasts until April 28th. Today, you can manage to get others to open up just by sharing your own experiences. It’s also a potentially potent time for money matters. The trick now is to share, as it continues to be a favorable time to build alliances. The Moon spends the day in your sign, and this tends to stimulate a sense of emotional urgency, although it may not feel like there are many channels for expressing yourself quite yet.
Virgo
The Moon spends the day in the sign behind yours, dear Virgo, pointing to some need for extra rest, anonymity, or time to yourself. Today, anonymity may be working against you in some way, however! You may be overlooked, for example, when you’d prefer to have a turn at something. Juno’s transit of your partnership sector, lasting until April 28th, encourages you to loosen your grip on routines and work and look for ways to bring a better balance to a partnership. Inequality simply won’t be tolerated now! There may be some battles along the way, but this is a good cycle, lasting a little over two months, for sorting out issues of give and take.
Libra
The Moon spends the day in your social sector, dear Libra, and you’re in the mood for something a little different, for branching out, or connecting with like-minded people. This morning’s Venus-Pluto sextile is good for personal appeal, strategic thinking, and work-related activities. You may feel especially valued for what you do. As Venus gets closer to leaving your work and health sector and Juno is now a guest here for two months, it will be less about pleasing and harmonizing, and more about bringing equality and fairness to your work environment. Issues of justice and equity can emerge on the job. A vital key to feeling empowered in the months ahead involves getting a handle on your daily routines, work, and health, as well as improving habits.
Scorpio
Juno has been spending time in your sector of home and family, dear Scorpio, and you may have had a compelling need to explore your deeper connections and build your feelings of safety and comfort. Now, however, Juno is encouraging you to share yourself more fully with others in a cycle that lasts until April 28th. When it comes to romantic relationships, you can be increasingly more invested in what’s fair and equal, but with Venus moving out of this same sector by early March, you’re less inclined to please at all costs. You’re also particularly sensitive to imbalances of power. You can feel powerful, however, as you develop a hobby or creative project in the months ahead. Today, a Venus-Pluto sextile aspect continues to favor one-on-one relationships and influence related to your communications and projects.
Sagittarius
It’s a good day for new insights into your own personal income, and into practical matters in general, dear Sagittarius. It can be a fine time to make out of what you already have, and feel quite accomplished as a result. The Moon spends the day in your sector of spirit and adventure, and you’re likely to crave a change of pace or a break from the usual routine. You’ve entered a cycle that lasts until April 28th and encourages a particular interest in improving your family and home life, however, especially the ways that these things empower you. Power dynamics in your family relationships can be in stronger focus, and you are especially sensitive to imbalances in your home environment. You should certainly watch for a tendency to want to rule the roost. Otherwise, you have plenty of opportunities to set yourself right in areas of comfort and security in the coming two months.
Capricorn
As Venus and Pluto connect via a harmonious aspect this morning, dear Capricorn, you may be recognized or shown appreciation, and circumstances are such that your energy flows naturally with minimal interruptions. Until April 28th, you’re in an excellent cycle for gaining a feeling of self-mastery through specialized learning and skills development. There has been some focus on your resources and natural talents, but now you’re giving your mind and personal interests more attention and importance. The desire to contribute something of value or to specialize and learn a topic more deeply can be active now, and a major motivator.
Aquarius
This is another good day for financial planning and for tending to your resources, dear Aquarius. As Venus and Pluto harmonize, you’re in especially good shape if you work on building relationships. The desire for companionship today may be stronger than usual. Juno has recently left your sign and began its transit, lasting until April 28th, of your resources sector. There can be some relief if you’ve felt the need to take the lead a little too often in recent months. In this new cycle, you’ll want to take charge of money and business matters that have fallen out of view. Feeling on top of your practical affairs will contribute to a stronger sense of balance and personal power.
Pisces
This morning is strong for personal magnetism, dear Pisces, as well as for winning favor. Good energy is with you now for dreaming, wishing, and planting a few seeds for the future. Juno recently entered your sign and will continue to transit Pisces until April 28th. This cycle encourages a more visible expression of personal power after a period in which you may have been tending to your inner stores of courage or power. You’ll want to take the lead and prove your independence now and in the coming two months. Watch that you don’t put a wall around you in the process, but do experiment with ways to improve a sense that you’re in charge and control. A desire to reinvent yourself in some way can be strong now and in the weeks ahead.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
LEO STRONG
Self-confident, generous, warm-hearted, powerful leader, dramatic. Can be overly proud, vain, extravagant, arrogant.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
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 WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 27th:
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).
