Aries

While you’re laying low to some degree, your mind is busy today, dear Aries. You are driven to be productive or to take part in constructive activities, but you’re not necessarily seeking attention. The Moon spends the day in your privacy sector, and you have a natural need to pull back a little as you need a break from demanding situations. Still, Mercury and Chiron are heading into alignment in your sign, sparking especially creative, unique, and helpful ideas. You want to free yourself from ideas and attitudes that have limited you in the past and distinguish yourself from others, discovering what makes you special. People tend to see you for your unique mind or viewpoint right now–you are going your own way. Interactions can be progressive and revealing today, although perhaps a little sensitive, as is often the case when we are encouraged to grow. It’s a potentially excellent time for clearing away problems or at least getting a better handle on how to resolve them.

Taurus

You’re focusing on the human element of problems and situations today, dear Taurus. Mercury and Chiron are heading into alignment in your privacy sector. This transit can prompt an inventory of your feelings, a new approach to understanding a tricky situation, or the playing of a supportive role to others. You might open up about a personal issue, or someone else’s big reveal is significant to you. Either way, an open mind helps. Unloading a mental burden may figure strongly, and it feels good to purge and clear the air. Generosity and compassion are in larger supply, and you enjoy following your own path with your thoughts and ideas. An open or helpful conversation can be significant and in the spotlight. It’s a good day for friendships as well as work on longer-term projects, as your intuition and vision are strong.

Gemini

While today is good for bringing more creative elements to what you do, dear Gemini, you can be in a great spot to receive the information you need or the perfect encouraging words. There could be a resolution to (or liberation from) a problem that has been weighing on your mind. A pleasingly open atmosphere with friends can figure strongly, even if there is some upheaval involved. Airing things out can be a tad messy but ultimately helpful and even healing. Conversations can be revealing and especially honest and intriguing. If there have been differences with a friend, this is an excellent time to work through them. However, deeper problems over long-term goals may need more time for resolution.

Cancer  

This can be an excellent time for both guiding and learning, dear Cancer. Your intuition enhances your business sense, and the desire to improve, grow, and learn is a driving factor today. Positive reinforcement is important today, in addition to an open, honest approach. Take full advantage of any opportunity that emerges from understanding yourself and your “place” in the world–you have much to gain through listening and observing today. At the same time, you are likely to have something valuable and wise to offer others. You may feel that you’re turning over a new leaf when it comes to communicating more openly. With ideas, yours are uniquely your own, and you’re not afraid to go your own way with them. Your words of wisdom stand out. You can feel that you’re ready to move forward on a matter that may have held you back.

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.
