Horoscopes
Aries
The emotional tone of the day is set by the qualities that come most naturally to you, dear Aries, with the Moon in your sign. You have a stronger need for comfort and pleasure right now. Family and home matters fare especially well today. Enjoy the pleasant vibes of the Moon coming together with Venus today – you’re likely to want some extra special “me time.” You are more inclined to declare your needs and feelings now, and you tend to do so quite honestly and charmingly! You have the green light for pursuing personal interests.
Taurus
You need a break from demanding situations with the Moon in the sign just behind yours all day, dear Taurus. Thanks to the Moon’s alignment with Venus, you’re likely to enjoy private time thoroughly now. Emotionally, you may be keeping parts of you to yourself. You are inclined to reminisce about the past. Slowing down and reflecting on recent events is especially appropriate now with a strong focus on this same house in coming weeks. Activities that honor your need to reconnect with your inner spirit are particularly timely now.
Gemini
Today is strong for approaching others and enjoying simple, straightforward connections, dear Gemini. The atmosphere is refreshing. It can be a comfortable, pressure-free day for relating to friends, associates, and partners. Your ideas are received well, and people are drawn to you quite naturally. Sometimes, just a little emotional detachment gives you more freedom to be yourself and not worry too much about what other people think or expect of you. It’s appropriate for you to reach out and make connections — and beneficial as well. You might discover new goals, skills, and ideas as you network.
Cancer
The day is good for staying active, dear Cancer, but comfortably so. A hectic pace is best avoided. Professional doors may open through social connections now, or you may simply enjoy stronger relationships on the job or with managers, teachers, parents, and bosses. Some might experience an attraction through work or business today. This can be a good time to enjoy the rewards of recent accomplishments and to consider or set new goals. There can be particular joy in what you’re doing or your responsibilities today. You have a good sense for business and leadership.
Leo
Today’s energies favor activity, dear Leo, but not a hectic pace. Take a break from excessive thinking, organizing, analyzing, and managing. There can be an emotional need to escape the usual routine, introducing some variety into your day, or taking a major detour — anything that helps refresh your spirit. Fortunately, this should be rather natural today. Grab opportunities to lighten up and release stress. There could be a chance to pursue a special interest, or there can be an opportunity to enjoy a change of scenery with someone special.
Virgo
There is a desire to turn inward today, dear Virgo, as you examine your motivations or to take a break from “doing” so that you can observe and strategize. You’re inclined to plan out your next move. You can experience an attraction to multi-layered situations and all that is hidden today, and you can thoroughly enjoy investigating a matter further or solving a mystery. You have a straightforward yet gentle touch in your closest relationships right now. You are not interested in simply repeating past mistakes with automatic responses and behaviors, but rather you are interested in making real changes and coming at problems from a different angle. This is a time for allowing yourself to really feel your feelings, not to detach yourself from them.
Libra
With the Moon in your opposing sign all day, you are challenged to find a balance in your life, dear Libra, and this is likely to involve including others. Some of you might seek out counseling, advice, or other one-to-one connections. Others are more active with a partner or close friend. You are received particularly well right now as the Moon aligns with your ruler, Venus, in your partnership zone. Others can be helpful now. This is also a good time for considering the other side of the coin and for weighing pros and cons. You may be in the position to strike a deal or compromise. Diplomacy is the way to go at the moment!
Scorpio
This is a potentially easy day for getting things done without too much in the way of distractions, dear Scorpio. You tend to quickly hone in on details and flaws with today’s Moon bringing increased emotional charge to those things that are not always seen or observed. Instead of fixating on them, you’re ready to solve problems at a comfortable pace. The idea now is to handle little problems before they manage to grow and take over your life, but give yourself frequent breaks if possible, and time to think, imagine, and reflect. It’s also a great day for approaching others and harmonizing with them, particularly those you deal with as you pursue your health or daily routines.
Sagittarius
With the Moon spending the day in your creative sector and aligning with pleasure-seeking Venus, social pleasures tend to trump practical activities today, dear Sagittarius. You’ll probably accomplish more if you focus on creative and otherwise engaging tasks – following your heart, in other words! Even so, you may decide you deserve a break, particularly coming out of a few busy days. Explore your needs for fun and entertainment and find ways to enjoy yourself fully. Affections and possibly romantic feelings are more easily stirred today.
Capricorn
The Moon meets Venus in your home and family sector today, dear Capricorn, and if you don’t stick close to home, you’re likely to seek out familiar faces and places now. This is a time for catching your breath and reconnecting to those closest to you or with your own desires. Inner assurance will go a long way towards meeting busier days with confidence and success. The emphasis is on finding peace and comfort–and a stronger sense of self–that you can bring with you into the next phase, which is a very creative and expressive one.
Aquarius
While daily affairs can be on the demanding side these days, dear Aquarius, this “busy-ness” is something you’re taking in stride and enjoying at a comfortable pace today. You are especially amenable right now and happy to cater to the people you care about. Others are quick to cooperate with you as well. You might gain new information at just the right time today, and what you know can help your own life and others’ lives as well, so be sure to share. Advertising and marketing may do well now. “Selling” your ideas on a personal level can also be successful.
Pisces
This is a beautiful day for enjoying creature comforts or practical and sensual, earthy activities, dear Pisces. With the Moon out of your sign and into the next, aligning with Venus here, you’re less concerned about your independence as you are your sense of security. Certainly, you can have both, but at the moment, you’re better off building what you have and picking up cues from your environment in order to figure out your next move. Novelty may be wearing off on recent ideas or endeavors, and you’re more able to see what will stay and what will go. Slowing down is good for you now. Take the time to think up new ways to protect, improve, or build your resources.

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.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 28th:
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).
