Daily Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You can feel a little divided today, dear Aries, as you have many social inclinations or desires to experiment, explore, and change, while you also feel a strong call to enjoy quiet, non-demanding situations. One side of you is chatty, the other pensive and observant. This shouldn’t pose too much of a problem as long as you find ways to satisfy both needs. The Moon spends the day in your intimacy sector, and you’re drawn to experiences and activities that help you better understand your inner workings and the motivations of people around you. Getting in touch with our deeper selves is essential work from time to time, as very often we are going through life on autopilot. This year, with Jupiter also in this sector, it’s a particularly enlightening process. Today, you might learn of something helpful that was previously hidden or private.
Taurus
The Moon is in your opposite sign all day, dear Taurus, and this puts your emotional focus on others, especially a close relationship, partnership, or another one-on-one scenario. It also stimulates sensitivity to those things in your life that feel as if they’ve become out of balance. It’s a good time to turn to others for help, support, or advice, but it’s important to “own” any decision that comes out of this process. Ideas generated with or about relationships are winners today. Relationship and practical goals may seem to clash in the first half of the day, but as the day progresses, you’ll find it easier to enjoy both.
Gemini
The Moon spends the day in your work and health sector, dear Gemini, and you’ll be motivated to handle details, deal with practical affairs, and get some work done today. Instead of dwelling on flaws, which you see more clearly right now, you are inclined to make good use of your time by fixing problems and feeling accomplished as a result. Jupiter as a long-term guest in this same sector of your solar chart generally makes more fun out of routine for you this year. Keeping yourself busy and willingness to play a supportive role seem to be the best strategies at this point in the lunar month. If you throw your energy into something that truly pleases you now, you’re likely to feel stronger and happier for it.
Cancer
While good energy continues for your inner world, depth emotions, and intimate connections, dear Cancer, today is a time for remembering to have fun, entertain and be entertained, and get creative. You’re likely to wrestle with this earlier today but own it as the day progresses. As the Moon aligns with Jupiter today, you can enjoy happier moods and a stronger ability to take daily affairs in stride. There is a sense that you are more in charge of your happiness, and of course, this is the case. This transit amps up emotions surrounding the joys of romance, love, entertainment, and creative activities in your life.
Leo
The Scorpio Moon today highlights the sector of home and family in your solar chart, dear Leo, encouraging you to slow down rather than rev up. You might prefer to stick close to home or regular, familiar routines as a result. Your heart may be with family or you are more introspective than usual. There is very sociable energy with you these days, and this continues some more as a general, but today you’re likely to require more time to regroup, renew, and relax. Soulful moments or everyday activities are in the spotlight. As Mercury and Neptune form a semi-sextile, there can be some tendency for conversations to bother you on a deeper level if someone’s not getting you today. Verbalizing your wants may help.
Virgo
The Moon aligns with Jupiter in your communications sector today, dear Virgo, expanding your sense of emotional satisfaction from learning, connecting, and communicating — areas of general increase and good fortune in recent months and for many months to come. Jupiter has a way of magnifying feelings, whether they’re good or bad, however, so if there are problem areas, you may feel them more acutely. The Moon first clashes with the Sun today, and you may feel you have a little too much on your plate, but as the day advances, you’re likely to find a happier balance. It’s a busy day, and the trick will be to keep your head on straight! The lines are open for communications, particularly with a partner or for other one-on-one interactions. Multi-tasking is okay for you right now, and can even benefit you.
Libra
The Moon aligns with Jupiter in your solar second house today, dear Libra. This can have the effect of expanding your feelings of emotional satisfaction surrounding your level of comfort or security, talents, or current financial situation. It’s a time for appreciating what you have and looking for ways to boost your feelings of security and comfort. Certainly with much planetary activity in your outgoing, creative sector these days, you have been a little more willing to take a risk, but today, you crave and need some predictability. Any activity that reconnects you to the physical world of the five senses can be helpful and healing now. You continue to experience many new and exciting developments in your life, and it makes sense to center yourself for the sake of clarity and calm.
Scorpio
The Moon transits your sign all day, dear Scorpio, and for the most part, you’re in the position to set the pace, although not everyone is following your lead today. Your emotional desires and personal needs are upfront and center. Allow your emotions to report to you rather than rule you for best results. You can find an active channel for expressing your feelings through communication mediums today. Romantic energy is also in good form. This morning, you may have trouble integrating your need to trailblaze and your desire to stick with what’s familiar. Later, the Moon aligns with Jupiter, pulling up your feelings of emotional satisfaction for review.
Sagittarius
The Moon spends the day in the sign just behind yours today, dear Sagittarius, and will enter Sagittarius tomorrow. This is not a time when you’re unusually forthcoming or expressive with your feelings, as you can be a little guarded, but it’s also a time when you are processing recent experiences, and it can take a bit of time to get in touch with your innermost feelings. Some tension is possible this morning as the Moon clashes with the Sun, and your needs to connect and communicate seem to conflict with needs to wind down. Tackle areas of guilt that may be preventing you from getting the break you need and deserve. You might thoroughly enjoy a breather or healthy escape from the demands of daily life, especially as the day advances.
Capricorn
Today brings a stronger desire to be around people, dear Capricorn, and the need to diversify, experiment, and enjoy new or unusual experiences, thanks to today’s Moon transit. The Sun in your predictable, middle-of-the-road second house clashes with the Moon in the first half of the day, and it can take a bit of time to figure out how to manage these things. However, the Moon also aligns with Jupiter in your social sector, pulling up strong feelings about friends, goals, hopes, and dreams. Common philosophies and beliefs are apparent now, perhaps because you’re seeking to see them! You’re embracing the idea of gently pushing the usual boundaries and seeking out different experiences. Your more inventive and innovative side can blossom now.
Aquarius
The Moon spends the day at the top of your solar chart, dear Aquarius, highlighting your career and reputation sector, and will continue to do so until tomorrow morning. If you feel things heating up in your career or your public life, you’re very much in tune. This morning, the Sun in your sign clashes with the Moon, and you can feel a tense pull between needs to perform and desires for independence. However, the Moon aligns with Jupiter, and it becomes more comfortable and natural to follow your goals, and possibly even the rules! There can be a boost to your reputation, public life, or career. You may be feeling more appreciated for the work you do, and with the feedback positive, you are motivated to do an even better job. You may be in a position to shine through meeting a responsibility, or simply to enjoy recent successes today.
Pisces
While there is undoubtedly a time for concentrating on details, dear Pisces, today you need to take a step back to see the bigger picture. As well, doing something entirely different than the usual can be a goal now. This energy seems to clash with the Sun currently encouraging you to take things easy and relax, but you may very well find that taking a step out of your routine allows you to refresh yourself emotionally. With Jupiter, a long-term guest in your solar ninth house, opening up and broadening your perception of the world, and today, the Moon tapping into this energy, this broad, expansive theme is reinforced. You might be attracted to a cause that inspires or expands your worldview. You might have a pleasant conversation, hear news, or read something that makes you feel hopeful or encourages a new idea or interest.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
BALANCE OF SIGNS
SCORPIO STRONG

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: 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 7th:
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).
