Daily Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Venus is now in your privacy sector, dear Aries, where she will stay until March 6th. There can be less clarity with your feelings or your social/love life during this cycle, but it’s a time to explore your own emotions and get more in touch with your true, deep feelings. Private moments with a partner, or yourself, can be particularly cherished now. Taking these periods as a chance to reflect, either by yourself or with someone close to you, can be particularly beneficial and lead to some impactful soul-searching about your love life. Take it easy and open yourself to reflection. Financially, it is a good time to comb through past projects for patterns that could give you clues that benefit current or future ventures. The Moon meets with Saturn at the top of your solar chart, reminding you of your work duties or outside obligations. However, a Mercury-Jupiter connection encourages you to learn, share, and absorb new information from your networks and associates today.
Taurus
Venus is now transiting your friendship sector, dear Taurus, and will stick around here for just over three weeks. Venus, now in Pisces, is compassionate and boundless, and you can be feeling complicated and warm feelings for friends or wistful regarding your social life. During this cycle, you value freedom and space in your friendships and social life, allowing you to enjoy a carefree, energetic social life without feeling bogged down by too many expectations and demands from and for others. Forming new friendships can come easily during this cycle due to your unusually open and personable manner, leading to an enjoyable sense of variety in your social life. On any regular day, by nature, you are always exceptionally helpful with your friends, and this trait is particularly prominent now. Today is a good time to expand your mind and open up to discoveries, especially regarding goals for your future. The morning may bring a small wake-up call or a need to fill a responsibility, but you feel pleasantly busy and needed now.
Gemini
Venus is now transiting your career and reputation sector, dear Gemini, where she will bring benefits until March 6th. Social opportunities in professional settings are plentiful during this cycle, along with a particular concern for how you present yourself to others. During this approximately three-week period, you come across as very personable, charming, helpful, and attractive to the people around you. You may are unafraid to express yourself professionally and showcase your abilities and talent, which can accumulate in successes through your managerial qualities or artistic expertise, as well as recognition from your peers and superiors. Therefore, this is a great time to network and make personal contact with people in positions of authority, as it can contribute good things to your career and image. This cycle also provides an opening for some of you to meet a potential love interest in a professional setting. Today, your ruler, Mercury, aligns with Jupiter, and you’re in a beautiful position to make a happy agreement or enjoy good interactions with someone special. It’s also a fine time for enjoying your work and learning something new while you do.
Cancer
Venus is now transiting a fellow Water sign, Pisces, until March 6th, dear Cancer. After a period of deeper reflection on your feelings and needs, it’s now time to share your light with the world. This transit results in powerful attraction towards you, wherein desired things and outcomes are brought to you instead of having to pursue them actively. Venus, after all, attracts rather than chases. This transit stimulates a craving for new experiences and diversity in your life. The people, places, food, and experiences you seek out may be more exotic than usual during this three-week period. Be sure to share your ideas and philosophies with others, as doing so can enhance your relationships or attract new ones altogether. Today, there is much to learn and enjoy through games, entertainment, leisure time, and conversations. Casual interactions can lead to exciting and possibly even profound discoveries today.
Leo
Venus has just entered the sign of Pisces, where she will transit until March 6th, dear Leo. This transit stimulates a stronger need for reciprocity and more harmonious sharing experiences. Working on some of the more complicated aspects of relationships is beneficial at this time, as well as the sharing and building of intimacy within your relationships. Your love nature runs a little deeper now, which makes it an intense period for exploring some of the feelings and attractions you may have pushed to the side. Financially, this can be a time when money comes to you more fluidly or is shared with you in unexpected ways outside of your regular income. You may find support from others is readily available and you more easily come to satisfying agreements in the coming three weeks. Today, the first half of the day brings a responsibility to mind and you’re anxious to take care of business. It’s also an important day for exchanging ideas with others, particularly related to improving home or family life. Warm conversations are likely.
Virgo
After spending a few weeks in your work-and-health sector, Venus is now moving through your partnership sector, dear Virgo, where she will transit until March 6th. This cycle brings a strong desire to improve close relationships in your life as well as opens you up to more pleasing social situations. You are particularly open, cooperative, and kind at this time. This is an excellent cycle for communication and compromise when it comes to your affections and relationships, as you are collaborative and open-minded. In fact, people in your life have something valuable to show you, assist you with, or teach you now. This extends to business, where negotiations can also benefit from your positive and cooperative energy. However, do not forget to think of what you want from others as well or you end up being a doormat to the needs of others. Let yourself be treated as kindly as you are treating others. The Moon aligns with Saturn in your creativity and romance sector this morning, and you’re inclined to give these things serious thought. You want to be productive now. Mercury and Jupiter form a parallel, and conversations can be super helpful. Learning something useful or hearing relieving news can figure strongly now.
Libra
Venus is now transiting your work and health sector, dear Libra, where she will transit until March 6th. This cycle is an excellent time to restore balance to your everyday life, including professionally. You may feel a strong desire to work on your working relationships and tweak your daily routines to better yourself. With these changes, you can open up new social opportunities through your work or in pursuit of new personal goals. Although this transit is not particularly love-focused, attractions may arise from your increased charm in professional settings, or platonically through improved relationships with coworkers. Although you may sometimes feel at the whims of others or that you too often serve rather than be served, this can also be a time when you more thoroughly enjoy your work or what you do. Be sure not to forget about yourself and your needs, and you’re more inclined to benefit from this useful cycle. The Moon spends the day in your home sector, reminding you of domestic responsibilities but also of your need for personal space and security.
Scorpio
With Venus now in Pisces until March 6th, dear Scorpio, your natural charm is particularly enchanting to others. You are especially joyful and attractive, and others are noticing, including love interests. This cycle has you radiating positive energy, and this results in a feel-good, comfortable time. It is a good period for dabbling in activities and hobbies that you find enjoyable but that you may not have given yourself the opportunity to enjoy recently. Enjoy this comfortable, carefree energy, dear Scorpio, and allow yourself to appreciate and notice its gifts. Creativity can soar now. The Moon spends today in your solar third house, and this is a mental position. Its sobering alignment with Saturn this morning can get you in a productive frame of mind. Today is excellent for learning, teaching, and sharing.
Sagittarius
Venus is now transiting your family and home sector, where she will transit until March 6th, dear Sagittarius. This cycle brings calm, pleasing energy to your domestic life. It’s easier to bring comfort and peacefulness to your home life and with your family, mainly because you value these things more than usual. This makes it an excellent time to spend some quality time with your family and close loved ones, and even to redecorate your home or add some pleasant accents that enhance beauty, comfort, and enjoyment. If you’ve been wanting to throw a dinner party or have a gathering at your home, this is the time to do so. Although your heart may be closing itself off to new people during this time, love might be found closer to home. Today’s Mercury-Jupiter alignment is terrific for your communications. It’s a great day for coming to a happy agreement with someone or for receiving good news.
Capricorn
Until March 6th, Venus is in favorable aspect to your Sun, dear Capricorn, and is transiting your sector of communications and transportation. This is a time where you’re more mindful of coming across as fair and kind in your interactions with others, which can boost your communication skills. The powers of your words to attract positive situations and people into your life are lovely now. You are better able to persuade and think on your feet. It’s a good time to show your loved ones that you care with small gestures, such as letting them know you are thinking of them with texts, emails, or pleasant conversations. Spending that additional time to reach out can enhance relationships, especially as others are finding your ideas and intelligence particularly attractive during this cycle. This can extend to your career where your communication skills can also come in handy. Today, the Moon is in your sign, and you’re ready to make a mark or take the lead. People notice you more than usual. Good news about money or business can make its way to you now.
Aquarius
Venus moved out of your sign yesterday, dear Aquarius, and into your values sector, where she will stay until March 6th. This is a time to settle down and think about your own desires and needs. This calmer period will awaken you to the value of the simple pleasures in your life. You can be expressing more patience in your life and love, and this can benefit you greatly at this point. There is less of a desire to seek out new experiences as you value those who you are currently close to and with whom you’re comfortable. Financially, your relatability with others may lead to enhanced personal finances, with money or gifts potentially coming your way. This is also a time when you feel a desire to treat yourself to something luxurious or indulgent. Today, the Moon is in your privacy and soul sector, inclining you to take a back seat or enjoy some downtime. A Mercury-Jupiter connection, however, suggests it’s a fabulous time to arrive at useful conclusions or learn something valuable.
Pisces
Venus has just left your privacy sector and is now in your sign, dear Pisces, where she will stay until March 6th. There is a focus on pleasure and attraction in your life currently, with your charm coming out in full force. You are more open to expressing your affections and emotions, which attracts positive energy from the people around you. Rather than actively seeking out experiences and people, you are inviting them into your life with your casual, but compelling, personal magnetism during this cycle. You’re feeling a little more worthy of attention, good about yourself, or open to new pleasures. Today, the Moon is in your social sector, and a Mercury-Jupiter alignment encourages big thinking, positive communications, and grand ideas.

LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 11th:
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 the Moon 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).
