Daily Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
Both Mercury and Venus in your friendship and community sector form easygoing aspects today, dear Aries, and you can find yourself in a good position with a friend, network, associate, or regarding an enjoyable pursuit. Cultivating relationships, not only with friends and networks but also in partnership, can be as simple as trying something new together. A Venus-Uranus aspect can bring a pleasant element of surprise to the mix. There is a good spirit of openness, adventure, and progress that becomes you. This can also be an active time for inventive new ideas, dreams, wishes, plans, and possibilities. Look to friends and group activities for opportunities to mingle with someone special. Inviting energy is with you for all things romantic and social, but also for shopping and finances. You are attracted to new-fangled, improved, and progressive objects, people, and ideas today! You’re in a good position for sound choices and hard work related to publishing and communications projects, as well. It may be a good time to talk shop with associates or to run business ideas by friends.
Taurus
Your personality is more progressive and open than usual today, dear Taurus, and you may have a nice bounce in your step as you don’t feel weighed down by problems. This is the nature of Uranus as it looks to the future and is anxious to grow, improve, and move on. Your ruler, Venus, forms a pleasing aspect with Uranus today, and is presently at the top of your solar chart, benefiting your professional or public life. You are in the position to charm superiors, and perhaps a few people in your personal life as well. There can be an opportunity to draw upon your inner wisdom to solve a problem. You’re bringing inventiveness and unique insight to the day, and you may very well get credit for it. You’re not abandoning traditional ways that have served you well, but you’re trying out something new now, and it’s working for you! Financially, your ideas can be golden right now. You might thoroughly enjoy pouring concentrated energy into some research or a special project.
Gemini
Experimenting with ideas can bring you opportunities now, dear Gemini, and so can networking. Learning, sharing, promoting, and publishing can be in good form today as Mercury and Venus, both in your sector of the higher mind, form harmonious aspects to Vesta and Uranus, respectively. You seem to intuitively know future trends, enabling inventive, timely ideas and solutions. New friendships are possible for some of you, and refreshing or renewing current connections can be in focus for others. In fact, this is one of the best times of the month for connecting and sharing. This can also be a time for putting substantial effort into your projects and making real progress. Intellectual exchanges are not only enjoyable, but they’re even fruitful now.
Cancer
With a Venus-Uranus connection today, dear Cancer, people tend to move past problems more readily and embrace new attitudes. Take advantage of this for letting go of frustration or insecurity and trying something new, yourself. Negotiations can be successful. There can be a happy intimate connection, a financial advance, or a workplace or reputation improvement that puts a spring in your step. People on the job may be seeing and appreciating you for your unique input. Problems can be solved, not necessarily through great effort or focus, but through a general willingness to let things go and put things behind you. Some of you might enjoy surprise freedom from an obligation. However, with a Mercury-Vesta aspect also active today, you may very well enjoy pouring extra energy into organizing, working, or researching something important to you. You can be excited about finding solutions to problems or for making life a little better or more comfortable.
Leo
You’re in a great position to see things more clearly and comprehensively if you take a partner’s viewpoint into account today, dear Leo, as well as for advancing and growing a close relationship. It’s a promising time to consult with someone special in your life or to put your heads together to come up with inspiring ideas. What emerges in a partnership or friendship today can be very productive, and if not, at the least you feel you can move past problems. This is a good time for connecting with others who inspire you mentally, or there may be a mind-expanding experience today. Relationships are enlivened and refreshed with an especially open approach to one another or sharing different experiences and activities. You may be attracted to someone with an interesting mind or drawing people to you who appreciate your unique way of thinking.
Virgo
This is an active period for work and health improvement, dear Virgo, with a strong showing in your solar sixth house. Today, Mercury and Venus in this sector connect well with Vesta and Uranus, respectively, facilitating tangible progress and a gently motivating spirit of looking forward and moving on. New methods and plans for self-improvement, work, wellness, or routines are exciting now. Solutions to problems are unlikely to be traditional ones, or they aren’t arrived at from a conservative mindset right now. Positive vibes while pursuing your daily routines or in your work are likely today, and to some extent this week, and quite possibly, social opportunities can emerge. You may have new ideas — or discover alternative methods — related to health, nutrition, the organization of your daily life, or fitness. Relationships benefit from an open, accepting approach to desires and needs, and cooperation comes naturally today.
Libra
Others are unlikely to turn you, or your plans, down today, dear Libra. You can make good headway in a creative or communications project, and studies are likely to go well, particularly if you apply yourself in a step-by-step, traditional manner. You are more focused and willing to put in the effort necessary to make substantial progress. At the same time, there is a cheerful spirit of growth to the day that feels good. Others are drawn to your quirkier, more unique qualities, which you’re happy to share. There can be lively exchanges with a love interest, friend, or child. You can turn around most any problem or boring situation with a fresh and fun approach. This can be a day of a surprise invite for some. In some way, you are breaking out of an old pattern now, and new approaches to people and projects in your life bring rewards today.
Scorpio
You’re in an excellent position for arriving at happy agreements with others today, dear Scorpio. A Venus-Uranus sextile adds a pleasant element of surprise and perhaps a bit of genius to your interactions. You instinctively know how to approach situations in the best way possible. Family, home, and work matters can move forward pleasantly, particularly if you are open to new ideas for improving your situation as well as trying out new and improved ways of relating and integrating. New or alternative methods of approaching health, domestic, and work matters are likely highly useful to you now, deserving a second look. Venus-Uranus is also helpful for getting over things or moving past grudges, insecurities, and resentment. Practically speaking, this is also a beautiful day for problem-solving. An organized, loyal, dedicated, and committed mindset helps you get through pretty much anything now.
Sagittarius
You’re in excellent form today both socially and practically, dear Sagittarius thanks to Venus-Uranus and Mercury-Vesta sextiles. Vesta in your sign suggests a stronger ability to concentrate and focus on what means the most to you. While the Moon points to some need to keep a low profile to catch up on rest (or healing) today, whatever you do now tends to work out for the best. This is a good day for romantic matters, learning, sharing, and connecting in general. You feel freer and more spontaneous as you interact with others, whether in person or through writing. There can be interesting things to learn from a sibling, classmate, child, or friend. There can be much enjoyment derived from learning endeavors. Updated technology or new gadgetry can open up a new channel of communication for you. Even the most casual of mingling can lead to good things. You’re making smart decisions and seeing your priorities. You are likely to give good advice and to be specially regarded as someone who knows what they’re doing or is committed and focused.
Capricorn
With openness to new ways of doing the routine, dear Capricorn, you can have some fun and make progress today. Both Mercury and Venus in your finances and values sector receive harmonious aspects, pointing to opportunities. It’s a good time for financial matters and even for shopping or acquiring new things. You might discover a fresh interest. Home improvement efforts can be successful now. You are a little more daring and willing to experiment with designs, ideas, and ways of relating to others. Practical, business, and financial affairs can benefit from some fresh thinking. Inventive solutions to problems are yours to discover. You can find yourself pleasantly committed to a money-making project or to enjoying and taking care of what you own.
Aquarius
This a potentially excellent day for personal plans and personal appeal, dear Aquarius, with both Mercury and Venus in your sign forming harmonious angles to Vesta and Uranus, respectively. Venus in your sign in harmony with your ruler, Uranus, increases your powers of attraction, mainly through your communications. People regard you well right now, appreciating your unique qualities more than usual. There can be good news received, but it’s also entirely possible that something you communicate, or how you deliver your message, is helping you achieve what you desire. Using the power of words to attract what you want or for furthering your interests and goals can work well for you now. As well, your thinking is especially sound. There can be minor social blunders or mild misunderstandings to sort through, but excellent opportunities for getting organized emerge now. You’re in a good position to speak with authority, focus on something important to you, and throw extra energy into a project you love.
Pisces
Energies today are both practical and freeing, dear Pisces. Through interactions with others or pleasurable pastimes, you can let go of some inhibitions and enjoy yourself more thoroughly. This is a time for growing and improving situations, relationships, attitudes, and projects through a spirit of openness and with a progressive approach. With increased freedom and respect, relationships flourish now. However, good things may come instead as the result of moving past something, letting it go, and moving on with Uranus involved. This is a great day in a strong week for thinking and processing, as well. Sound energy is with you today for doing some solo or quiet work. Reorganize or sort through something that requires concentration, or pour extra energy into an enjoyable hobby, some research, or a pet project if possible.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED STRONG
We are thinking about the long view, seeking out security and stability rather than change. We may be committed, focused, resistant to making changes, and stubborn.
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 6th:
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).
