Aries

Perceptions are coming back to earth today, at least on practical levels, dear Aries, but you’re also feeling enthusiastic. The Moon’s move into your sign tends to loosen you up, and a Venus-Jupiter transit boosts your mood further. A Mercury-Saturn aspect reminds you of the benefits of keeping on top of things and getting organized. In some ways, you are in excellent shape to concentrate, but in others, you allow yourself some pleasant distractions. There can be a nice channel for expressing yourself and your personal interests. A new level of respect or reliability in a relationship can be achieved now. It’s a time for making changes that shape your life in empowering ways. This is an excellent time to make a first impression or to get noticed, so do make sure it’s a good one! Venus in your sign certainly highlights your attractive qualities, and Jupiter’s support brings benefits from this, making it easier than usual to gravitate towards what your heart wants.

Taurus

Today’s energies are excellent for thinking and processing, dear Taurus, and strong for drawing upon experience and wisdom to apply it to a current problem. Quiet study or work can be beneficial now. You’ll find it easier to focus on your priorities more attentively than usual. It’s a great time to notice and handle details. Dealing with responsibilities rather than hiding from them is satisfying, but it’s also a fine time for some play or pleasure. There can be magic in the air, and your kindness can be rewarded in unexpected ways. Staying open, honest, and generous can be the perfect strategy or approach with Venus and Jupiter harmonizing. You can take some real pleasure in setting goals for yourself and basking in a confident feeling that you’ll reach them in due time. You may come to a new understanding of a past matter that helps you move forward more confidently.

Gemini

You’re in perfect shape for communications projects, publishing, and smart thinking today, dear Gemini. It may be a good time to talk shop with associates or to run business ideas by friends. You can find real, reliable solutions to problems. At the same time, today’s astrology is strong for personal enjoyment. Consideration and cooperation are in the air. You can take care of the details and logistics of a plan and sort out clutter and connect with your spirit of fun. These transits are particularly welcome after an unfocused day behind you. Others can give you much food for thought at this time, and your own ideas can be more impactful. While elevated moods can sometimes lead to overestimation, today’s energies seem to even things out. People pull through for you, and this kind of support is just what you need at the moment.

Cancer  

Aim to engage your more creative or spiritual needs today rather than taking on too many projects or commitments, dear Cancer. A Mars-Neptune square can point to some temporary deflation or discouragement. There can be some dashed hopes or moodiness to manage. The desire for something more exotic can be strong and the need for some form of escape is persistent. Schedules seem off, and so does timing in general, and aiming to be flexible is a good strategy under these conditions. You may very well end up enjoying the space and freedom delays or others’ unavailability affords you to do your own thing. Later today and into tomorrow, you feel less overwhelmed, particularly as you focus on those things that are manageable.

Leo  

Today’s Venus-Saturn transit is supportive and steadying, dear Leo. While there may be some reserve in your relationships and connections, there can be an excellent feeling of constancy. Attention to strengthening projects and relationships can have long-term benefits. It’s a good time to dedicate yourself to a project or activity that requires your strong attention. You’re likely to enjoy a pleasant, steady atmosphere around you that is comfortable and satisfying. Clarity may come to a relationship, or you benefit from a helpful and constructive conversation. Old wisdom or experience may come into play. Focus on strengthening ties in the long run and be as patient as possible with others for best results now. It can feel good to consider your commitments and how you might honor them. It’s a day for recognizing the importance and value of trust in our relationships.

Virgo  

The Moon heads into your communications sector for a couple of days, dear Virgo, and you seek mentally engaging activities. However, with Venus and Saturn harmonizing today, it’s a good time for realistic assessments related to your health, work, or financial matters. You can more clearly see what needs to be improved or changed, and making adjustments comes with few if any regrets. Meeting responsibilities feels satisfying, and you might apply wisdom or good advice with success. It’s a good time to repair or boost relationships in simple but effective ways. Showing affection through loyalty and reliability is well-supported right now. Work that requires analysis or research is likely to go especially well.

Libra

Mercury moves into harmony with your sign after spending time tucked away in your home sector, dear Libra, and it can feel quite liberating as you become less guarded. With Mercury now in your entertainment, romance, and pleasure sector, it’s more comfortable and natural to express your ideas and opinions. You’re more communicative and friendly during this cycle that lasts until March 15th, and you’re inclined to seek intellectual entertainment or mental stimulation. There can be a stronger need for communications and movement in a romantic relationship. Later today, a theme of impatience or disagreement can emerge, although it’s rather quick to evaporate. It’s best not to speak too soon or without thinking while it lasts, as what you say may not represent how you feel. Disruptions now can stir up new ideas, but it’s best to watch for abrupt moves to avoid complications. If you are impatient with others instead of assertive and direct, then you run the risk of unnecessary stress.

Scorpio  

Mercury begins its transit of the sector of your solar chart that rules heart, home, and family, dear Scorpio. Thought processes are inward and intuitive during this cycle that lasts until March 15th. There can be a lot to learn about (or through) family and close loved ones in the weeks ahead. Thoughts and conversations often turn to domestic affairs, family concerns, or the past. You are not as communicative in the outside world, and you may not feel quite as understood or “heard” at this time. You may be a little more guarded than usual with your thoughts and ideas. However, it’s another story in your personal life, which is far busier. Later today, there can be some tensions if you give in to pressures to push a matter or to rush through things. There can be some abruptness in communications or actions, which might lead to unnecessary complications. Kept under check, you may find ways to break out along a new path of expression. Try not to rush things, and don’t let others boss you around, and you’ll have a better chance of resolving problems.

 

Sagittarius  

Mercury completes its transit of your resources sector, dear Sagittarius, and now enters your communications sector. As the planet of communications, it feels right at home there! This cycle that lasts until March 15th helps you make sharper assessments and gain some mental clarity. It encourages reaching out, making connections, picking up new interests and skills, and sharing your ideas. Learning, teaching, studying, and conversations flow naturally now. Later today, Mercury forms a hard aspect to Mars, which can generate some tension if you give in to pressures to rush something through. Impatience can be a problem, particularly with ideas. Simplifying or focusing on one thing at a time may help. Watch for hasty moves and jumping too quickly to conclusions. Slowing down just a little can ultimately get you where you want to go, if not faster, more smoothly.

 

Capricorn 

Mercury moves out of your sign and into your resources sector today, dear Capricorn, where it will stay until March 15th. This influence is beneficial for your practical affairs–you’re bringing more intelligence and attention to matters related to finances, valuables, possessions, and security or comfort. These very things can also be strongly on your mind in the weeks ahead! You can pick up useful, practical information, mainly because this is the kind of information you seek most. Later today, Mercury and Mars form a challenging square aspect, and it’s best not to rush conclusions or statements. It’s far easy to say something you later regret under this influence. It may not be easy to relax temporarily, but tension might push you to take care of something you’ve let go. Taking something as an intellectual challenge may be your best bet. Moderation and patience are key, even if they’re difficult to put into practice.

 

Aquarius 

The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, inclining you to nurture your ambitions today, dear Aquarius. You’re especially aware of your influence and reputation now. Also today, Mercury enters your sign, and until March 15th, you’re finding your voice and making snappier decisions. It’s a self-starting and sometimes restless cycle. You may need to put a little extra effort into making time to relax. Otherwise, it’s a strong period for mental clarity. You prefer to take the lead when it comes to mental or intellectual tasks rather than consult others or collaborate. While Mercury transiting your sign is a mostly helpful influence, it forms a square to Mars today, and you should watch for the tendency to jump the gun. It’s best not to rush now — problems may result from pushing something too quickly. Try not to give in to pressures to say or do something in haste. It’s also possible that family or home matters can conflict with your plans, or people close to you may be annoyed by your attention to other things. There may be a disagreement that requires putting egos aside to resolve.

Pisces 

Mercury begins its transit of your privacy sector today, dear Pisces. Until March 15th, your decision-making skills and thought processes tend to be more intuitive, inward, or solitary. It’s a good cycle for processing recent experiences, as well as for reasoning your way through issues that you’ve left unfinished or pushed to the side. You can arrive at a greater understanding of your life, and you might help others with words of advice and wisdom. You’re looking at the past from a new perspective and paying more attention to your private life. Even so, Mercury forms a challenging aspect to Mars later today, and it can fire you up to take care of a problem area. However, it’s better to avoid rushing words or actions now. Unresolved matters can weigh on your mind, which can distract you or incline you to rush through communications. Tense or rushed speech can, in turn, lead to unnecessary complications or misunderstandings. There might also be competitiveness with others that irritates rather than motivates. Try not to put plans into motion because you’re impatient–wait until you’re confident and have time to put more thought into them.
