You’re currently in a longer-term cycle that’s excellent for building strong foundations that will benefit you for years to come, dear Aries, particularly in your relationships and your work. Today’s energies might give you a hint of this energy. There is a stronger desire to play it safe right now, but at the same time, you’re unafraid of a little change and innovation if it serves a good purpose. The Moon heads into your sign today, and the emotional tone around you feels natural, encouraging self-expression. Expressing your feelings is a way of nurturing yourself at this time of the lunar month.
Taurus
Today’s energies support a mature and responsible attitude towards your life that feels great, dear Taurus. You’re likely discovering that by getting some basic structures in place, you’re freeing yourself from old, negative patterns. People respond positively to your responsibility and reliability, especially people in positions of authority relative to you. With the Moon’s move into your solar twelfth house for a couple of days, it’s a time to seek quiet moments and possibly some solitude in order to rejuvenate yourself emotionally. It makes sense to honor your need for chances to rest, process, and digest. New insight into old problems can come to you in this state. While it’s a strong time for regrouping and refreshing, it’s not ideal for getting noticed. Fortunately, you prefer a bit of anonymity right now.
Gemini
You could be a stabilizing force for people in your life right now, dear Gemini, and this is especially true of your friends and associates or group associations. Building strong bonds is important to you right now, as there is more sustenance coming from your networking activities, and it feels good to contribute. You’re finding that expressing yourself more authentically is most satisfying. You have self-control and self-discipline to draw from, and you can make real progress, no matter how big or small, towards your goals. The less expected of you, the more naturally you contribute, share, and connect with others. You’re likely to find the day gently stimulating. Whether you want to get close with or keep some emotional distance from someone could be a question later today, and the answer might not be straightforward.
Cancer
You’re in a more practical frame of mind today, dear Cancer, with the Moon’s move into your solar tenth house for a couple of days. Your priorities or long-term goals are in stronger focus. It’s a good time for working on projects that truly matter and for taking care of business. Restructuring and organizing efforts can pay off as the Moon harmonizes with Jupiter and Saturn–patience wins the day. Others’ expectations might pull you in a particular direction. You may be more aware of the rules, and you tend to want to put in the necessary effort to make life a little more orderly. You’re motivated to do your best.
Leo
Enthusiasm runs high today, dear Leo, although you can feel somewhat in limbo. Mercury begins its transit of your opposite sign, and until March 15th, intellectual companionship is a fun theme. You seek out or attract people who help stimulate your thoughts and decisions. Input and feedback tend to jumpstart or rev up your thinking. Conversations can be particularly interesting, and ideas generated through these exchanges can be beneficial. It’s a good transit for helping to restore some balance in your life. Later today, there can be an edge to communications as Mercury forms a square to Mars, however. If others are pushy or pursuing you too adamantly today, you may need to draw some boundaries. Instead, you could feel pressure to do too much or to make everything perfect, which can also lead to problems. It may be that you’re a little too impatient to get something done or to achieve a goal, and everything else becomes a distraction as a result. Try not to overthink things. If you need a push to get going, tension generated now might do the trick, but do avoid hasty words and moves.
Virgo
The Moon’s transit of your busy solar third house today stimulates your curiosity, dear Virgo. Mercury, your planetary ruler, moves into your work and health sector today. Until March 15th, you might frequently focus on and perhaps fret about the details of your life. Your thoughts and conversations often turn to work, health, and practical matters. It’s a decent time to learn new skills, particularly practical ones, and seek information that helps you improve your work, health, routines, and habits. Haste makes waste later today, as Mercury and Mars form a square. This transit might convince us we need to rush our actions or words when we may only need to think differently. Differences of opinion can escalate quickly, or disagreements can occupy too much space in your mind. On the other side of the coin, problem areas may be so glaring that you’re ready to do something about them and finally resolve a long-standing issue. Just be sure not to move so quickly that you trip over yourself. It’s best to avoid rushing conversations, trips, or projects.
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.
