Horoscopes
Aries
Today’s Venus-Chiron alignment in your soul sector suggests a sudden awareness that allows you to begin healing and moving forward, dear Aries. Close, personal relationships can get a real boost now, particularly if you are willing to be vulnerable. You can teach or inspire others with your inner wisdom, drawn from experience and possibly painful experience, if you’re willing to share. Focus on letting go, whether it’s about a project, a situation, or an attitude that’s been holding you back from grabbing happiness from life. Look to regenerate if there’s still life or benefit in any of these things. You have a strong eye for what actually works and what has outgrown its worth. You may be seeing people in your life in a new way. This applies as well to material objects.
Taurus
This is a good day for personal influence, for approaching relationships in a fresh new way, and for social or pleasurable activities that fill an emotional need, dear Taurus. You are looking to feel whole and emotionally satisfied, and people in your life can lead you in the right direction. You may be seeing new ways to revitalize or rejuvenate friendships, and could find that inspiring trust, faith, and understanding is the way to do this. There could be a bonding moment through the sharing of belief systems, opinions, or personal philosophies. You are especially open and willing now, and this trait is attractive. Some of you are attracting friends and possibly romantic feelings from a friend these days.
Gemini
This can be an interesting day for making connections and for unusual or unexpected experiences with others, dear Gemini. Openness and cooperation on your part can attract support or positive experiences from others, and these contribute to your success today. You could experience an improvement in your business pursuits as you look at things in a new way and are not afraid to think differently. In general these days, you are looking to unusual, challenging, or unique ways to do business, and today, this becomes you especially well. People are catching your wave.
Cancer
You have more courage to express your feelings in general these days, dear Cancer, and particularly today. You are drawn to situations that can use improvements, and you are braver than usual to accept the challenge and make things happen. This is a time when opening your heart leads directly to healing opportunities and resolution of problems, particularly in close relationships, but also within yourself so that you bring a healthier “you” to the equation. People you meet these days may help open you up to new ways of relating, connecting, and sharing. Some of you could be mentoring or attracting mentors into your life now.
Leo
This can be a good time for coming to peaceful agreements with a partner, about money, or concerning typically tricky matters, dear Leo. Today, you may very well get to the heart of an intimate matter. Be willing to open up and to be emotionally honest, and also to let go of outworn attitudes in order to take full advantage of this energy. There can be an emotional renaissance of sorts now. New discoveries can be faced with both sensitivity and courage. Repairing and healing are in focus, as well as reworking or recycling resources. It’s also a strong time for research, wise observations and input, and sensitivity to others’ needs.
Virgo
Romantic sensitivity is pronounced today, dear Virgo, with Venus transiting your opposite sign (Pisces) aligning with healing, wise Chiron. You may be feeling particularly generous, and your openness endears you to others. There may be an epiphany of sorts when it comes to an important person in your life – the beginning of a new cycle in which you are learning to accept and move forward. Today is also strong for financial and practical judgment – you have a natural sense for what things, people, and situations are worth. There is more openness and vulnerability now. Some of you could be attracting people into your life who are opening you up to new feelings or helping you through a difficult situation.
Libra
People are drawn to you today, dear Libra, for support, help, or wise words. You are also especially open to giving others support, particularly by way of practical tools or information. For some of you, there is an attraction to, or discovery of, an alternative health solution. There can be the beginnings of a work project. Your expressions of affection and concern are genuine, and they come across that way, finding an appreciative audience. There can also be sensitivity to poor habits and a desire to put them behind you. You are more aware of imbalances that affect your emotional and physical health now, and this awareness can prompt you to seek out solutions.
Scorpio
It’s a good day for expressing your ideas creatively and for bonding by sharing the power with a friend, dear Scorpio. You are especially sensitive to whether others are seeing your value, uniqueness, and specialness. Innate timing brings you what you need at just the right moment. Find creative outlets for your feelings if it’s not the time to express them directly – with the Moon transiting your privacy sector, you may very well prefer an anonymous route. You may in fact be finding release through creative fantasy and projects that engage your imagination. You are willing to work on a fix, if necessary, in a relationship, and you are particularly emotionally courageous.
Sagittarius
With Venus connecting to Chiron in your sector of attachment, dear Sagittarius, it’s a strong time for confronting normally difficult, buried, or otherwise hard to access feelings and emotions. Work on repairing and renewing family relations, as well as your relationship with your personal past. There is a stronger desire to feel that you truly belong on a deep level, and while this can leave you feeling rather vulnerable, identifying it can help open you up to possible solutions and a greater understanding of what’s in your heart, as well as what may be driving your behavior. You may be leaned upon for support, or you may very well decide to reach out to someone you trust for support or guidance. There is willingness to accept and understand differences with the most important people in your life now.
Capricorn
Today’s energy favors a humble approach to communications, dear Capricorn. Venus is currently transiting your communications sector and connects with Pluto and Chiron. When personal power is not an issue, conversations are healthier and more productive. While your words can be healing and inspiring, with Mercury approaching a station, be a little more mindful of what’s said. People may be seeking out your words of wisdom, and when you feel needed this way, you are at your best. You might experience renewed interest in a learning endeavor, and today you could resolve to hone your skills and learn as much as you can.
Aquarius
Today is especially strong for seeing the true value of something or someone, dear Aquarius. These days, you may be especially concerned about your finances or your talents and general worth on a practical level, and today, you may very well see these things in a new, more optimistic and positive light. Many of these concerns are unwarranted, and something or someone might help you to get over this hump. Comfortable, earthy activities can be very helpful and soothing now, helping you to feel whole and renewed emotionally. Some soul-searching and deep thought may lead you to a new definition of what you want, need, and value in your relationships.
Pisces
The path to empowerment today, dear Pisces, is through helping others. Opening your heart, accepting, and understanding come fairly easily to you in general, and today, even more so. It’s an exciting day for personal charisma – others are drawn to you and most appreciative of your natural qualities. There is healing energy radiating from you, and this draws others in. You are especially interested in overcoming limiting attitudes or problems with confidence. You are more confident about expressing your unique opinions, style, and direction, and today, people are noticing your specialness.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 8th:
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 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, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
