February 2024 Daily Astrology
February 1: Rabbit! Rabbit! The new month begins with a waning Libra Moon. Two hours before dawn the Moon goes void of course, making the first part of the working day feel curiously lazy and lacking in energy. Absent-minded partners may be evasive or unwilling to commit. Give others room to roam. Noninterference is even more advisable during the late afternoon. By then the Moon is in Scorpio and testing Pluto. Thoughts and emotions can be engrossing. Sensitivity is also likely to increase. Demands made on associates are unlikely to be well received. If negotiations are under way, use subtlety and tact. With mental Mercury nearly sextile Neptune that shouldn’t be hard to do. Tonight’s dreams can be prophetic.
Moon in Libra v/c 4:03AM-3:37PM Moon enters Scorpio.
February 2: Before sunrise, a sextile between Mercury and Neptune adds layers of mystery, imagination and clairvoyance to waking minds. Expectations are also lofty. Under the light of day hopes become more in line with reality. The Scorpio Moon is busy, making aspects with Jupiter and Venus before reaching her Last Quarter stage this evening. The bulk of the day is quite lovely. Even stoic groundhogs won’t mind the attention. The afternoon hours feature many constructive conversations and fruitful meetings. Sunset, with the Moon testing the Sun, brings uneasy vibes. Don’t butt heads. Cool your jets while making the evening commute. For some souls, elevated stress levels persist into the night. Do your best to stay calm.

February 3: After a restless night, the planets sound a clear call to action. The morning hours are productive. Chores are quickly dispensed with. Conversations can be relevant, instructive, and meaningful. The mellower second half of the day is satisfying in different ways. Leisure time hobbies, creative outlets, arty amusements and mystical interests can all be pleasurable. The evening hours bring another round of stimulating discussions. Gatherings are stimulating but those who have an interest in changing the world are especially favored. Buoyed by the Scorpio Moon, Mars, Neptune, Mercury and Pluto affirm the ability to make a difference in peoples’ lives. Increase your impact by working with like-minded souls.
Moon in Scorpio v/c 10:24PM-12:00AM.
February 4: Knowledge can be a weighty matter today. The friendly and talkative Sagittarius Moon, never short on opinions, seeks truth. However, this waning crescent Moon can be too honest. Know your audience well before speaking. Hopes may be overinflated. During the early afternoon Luna is at odds with Saturn. Timing is also important. Mental Mercury is nearing a conjunction with Pluto at the final degree of Capricorn. Insights can be impressive, even liberating but a lack of heart could cause problems. Use discretion. Some facts and thoughts are meant to remain private. If you cannot be resolutely helpful and kind, keep your opinions to yourself.
Moon in Scorpio v/c 12:00AM-1:28AM Moon enters Sagittarius.
February 5: Minutes after midnight mental Mercury arrives in forward thinking Aquarius. With Mercury now conjunct Pluto, intellects gain laser-like precision. Every thought is unusually potent. Keep your mind right. Maintain a positive outlook. Emphasize the good in what you see and do. Stubbornness and pride will only limit the possibilities. A harmonizing early morning sextile between the Sagittarius Moon and Aquarius Sun sustains hopes and helps direct attention to what will be. Dare to dream and think big. More introspective moods take hold by midday. The quieter second half of the day invites forays into mind and heart opening amusements. Tonight is low key, a good time to kick back and relax.
Moon in Sagittarius, Mercury conjunction Pluto, Mercury enters Aquarius.
February 6: As the new day dawns the waning Moon slips into Capricorn. The sign change has a motivating effect. Practical ambitions are stirred. Loyalties, commitments and responsibilities are increasingly clear throughout the busy, productive hours. Lunar angles with Saturn and Jupiter, the two business planets, are exact this evening. The alignments keep primary concerns on track. After work gatherings can be informative as well as enormously entertaining. A successful mix of business and pleasure could include a fortuitous chance encounter. In any case, satisfaction caps off the fruitful day.
Moon in Sagittarius v/c 12:06AM-7:08AM Moon enters Capricorn.
February 7: Magic is in the air today. The Capricorn Moon is conjunct Venus, lifting spirits and boosting joy factors. Love is in the air. Two major planetary alignments add to the excitement. Venus and the Moon are in a favorable trine aspect to unpredictable Uranus. These mood-enhancing stars can bring love at first sight glamor, a passing infatuation, or a rebirth of an existing partnership. There is no better time to be a fool for love or friendship. This evening fiery Mars is in a sextile with Neptune. It may take a little effort, but make a dream come true, either for yourself, someone dear or a charitable cause. Relaxing in front of the television is another good option.

February 8: A predawn square between the Aquarius Sun and Uranus could precipitate a last minute change of plans. Shocking news may also arrive. Under a waning, void of course Capricorn Moon the day gets off to a tenuous start. Concentration and senses sharpen by late morning, when Luna arrives in Aquarius. Trust first impressions. This is the final day off the lunar cycle, usually a time of completion and if possible, resting. This month though, the Moon in Aquarius naturally steers thoughts towards the future. Afternoon planning sessions can be useful, provided distractions are held to a minimum and new initiatives are launched after tomorrow’s New Moon. Carefully avoid taking on more than you can handle tonight.
Moon in Capricorn v/c 2:52AM-8:59AM Moon enters Aquarius, Sun square Uranus.
February 9: This evening’s New Moon in Aquarius is an interesting proposition. The conjoined Sun and Moon are at odds with unpredictable Uranus. Adding to upcoming challenges, mental Mercury is in a testing square to loquacious Jupiter, warning against expecting more than is sensible. Thus the new activity cycle is hopeful but fraught with detours and surprises. Proceed with caution. Uranus invokes fate and surprise circumstances that outweigh individual will and personal powers. Current plans will no doubt be subject to change but the promise of a significant breakthrough remains. Saturn does lend its stabilizing and pragmatic presence. Stay grounded yet be quick to seize opportunities during the next few weeks.
New Moon in Aquarius 5:59PM, Moon in Aquarius v/c 5:59PM-12:00AM.
February 10: Happy Chinese New Year of the Dragon! Mercury’s morning square with Jupiter has some early birds feeling carefree and whimsical. More practical minds wrestle with decisions while pride can seduce other folks. Optimism may be justified but don’t exaggerate, or be too trusting. The Moon’s mid-morning arrival in Pisces suggests that instincts are a viable source of guidance. Clarity of purpose increases all through the daylight hours. Meeting up with long time associates can be rewarding, especially during the late afternoon and evening. This is an auspicious day for trading life stories and reminiscing. Priorities are crystal clear tonight, an excellent time for both making merry or entering into a commitment.
Moon in Aquarius v/c 12:00AM-8:42AM Moon in Pisces, Mercury square Jupiter, Lunar New Year (Dragon).
February 11: The waxing crescent Pisces Moon boosts intuitive as well as emotional awareness. Some souls are more thin-skinned than usual. Others feel on edge. The afternoon’s lunar sextile to Uranus favors intuitive knowing as well as relaxed social gatherings. Meeting new people or visiting a place you’ve never been before nourishes the soul. If the motive includes serving a cause, some higher calling, or artistic or spiritual development, it’s all the better. Premonitions and hunches can also open doorways. A loving vibe continues well beyond nightfall. The Moon cozily aligns with Venus as midnight nears. Share tonight with dearest friends and romantic partners. For night owls, creative juices are flowing.
Moon in Pisces.
February 12: Because the late Pisces Moon is handily aligned with Mars and Pluto, no one misses a beat early this morning. Get a prompt start if you can. By late morning the Moon is in Aries, sustaining the lively atmosphere. Courage and independent thinking are promoted. Spark plug Mars sits at the consequential last degree of pragmatic Capricorn. The fiery Red Planet is conjunct both Venus and Pluto, a powerful stellium. Invest in your karmic bank account. The trio of planets supports meaningful, heartfelt connections and richly fulfilling work. Folks looking to make progress in any endeavor, personal or professional, have life-changing energies at their disposal. Have the welfare of others at heart and the next two days hold impressive potential.
Moon in Pisces v/c 7:32AM-8:26AM Moon enters Aries.
February 13: An hour after midnight feisty Mars enters Aquarius, joining Pluto at the first degree of the sign of team spirit, friendship and community. Acting with and for others is a passion during the next few months. Heads are clear as the morning light breaks. Hearts are at lofty altitudes. Venus’ sextile to mystical Neptune casts a charming spell. Life can seem dreamlike. Tenderness permeates relationships. As the conjunction of Mars and Pluto draws closer all through the day, it is a good opportunity to be thoughtful. Use your time, energy and personal power wisely. Accomplishments can be impressive but misuse of the formidable energies could lead to disastrous consequences. Follow the Golden Rule for the best results.
Moon in Aries, Venus sextile Neptune, Mars enters Aquarius.
February 14: Happy Valentine’s Day! The post-midnight conjunction of Mars and Pluto accentuates the unlimited potential as well as the liabilities of working closely with allies. Shared goals, cooperation and compromise are necessary in order to bring out the best in this pairing. Romantic feelings are minimal this morning. The Aries Moon is void of course and also at odds with Venus, Pluto and Mars. Almost any activity can feel like an uphill struggle. Noon brings a huge change of atmosphere. By then the Moon is in stabilizing, sensual Taurus. Her late night sextile to Saturn and imminent conjunction with optimistic Jupiter, turn moods around. Work is fruitful. Patience and faith pay off. The stage is set for celebrating in good spirits tonight.
Moon in Aries v/c 5:21AM-10:02AM Moon enters Taurus, Mars conjunct Pluto.
February 15: Easy does it. The Taurus Moon, moving slowly and steadily past Jupiter and into a conjunction with Uranus, is also in a testing angle with mental Mercury. The future may appear clearly within reach but Uranus is something of a Trickster. When you least expect it, anything can happen. Given the high level of unpredictability, it’s best to move forward step by step. Communications are challenging during the afternoon. Tenacity is fine but where humility is lacking, stubbornness can be a liability. Be ready to improvise this evening. Informal get togethers and rendezvous with longtime pals are favored.
Moon in Taurus.
February 16: Mixed and complex trends alternately fill today with amazing grace and frustrations. The early going is sweet. A lunar sextile to Neptune softens rough edges. The late morning First Quarter Moon in Taurus follows. The stressful Sun/Moon square dominates much of the morning. Free spirits tend to butt heads with more materialistic folks. It may be challenging but this could be an opportune time for figuring out how to finance plans. The Moon then travels void of course until early afternoon. Venus arrives in Aquarius during this mellower period. A lengthy lunch break with friends suits some. The Moon’s mid-afternoon arrival in Gemini ushers in a productive few hours. Desires are intensely felt. Communications and schedules are dicey tonight. Air travel and driving can also be tricky. If you’re traveling be extra careful.

February 17: Today’s astrological action occurs during the overnight period. Venus is conjunct Pluto and the Moon tests Saturn. Love may have strings attached and longings can seem impossible to fill. News of intriguing partnerships or a scandal could come to light. With the Moon in Gemini, applied reason restores inner peace. This is the last full day of the Sun’s stay in visionary Aquarius. Try to see past current challenges. Imagine the best possible outcome. Things may take more time than you’d like but don’t underestimate the power of positive thinking. Objective analysis paves the way for making truly new choices.

February 18: Mercury dazzles minds and stimulates imaginations. The future seems hopeful. Uncertainties multiply as the afternoon hours pass. The Moon is in a testing angle with mystical Neptune. Resilient artists feel motivated, others are simply confused or grow lazy. Evening brings another, more positive mood swing as the Moon’s orbit carries her into a harmonizing trine with the Aquarius Sun. Nightfall brings freedom from worries. Later tonight the Moon enters her own sign of Cancer and the Sun goes into Pisces. Emotional tides rise. The comforts of familiar people, pets, things and places are the proverbial icing on the cake tonight.

February 19: Splashdown! Both the Sun and Moon are in water signs, Pisces and Cancer, respectively. The focus is on feelings and instincts. Protective urges as well as loyalties and responsibilities are highlighted. The Moon’s afternoon trine with Saturn inclines most people of good conscience to do right by others. This is an appropriate time for reviewing goals and responsibilities. Making commitments is also favored. Optimism rises as the Sun dips towards the western horizon. A celebration could be in order, or perhaps an exchange of gifts. Conversations and other forms of communication bring good news and warm smiles. Stick close to home tonight.

February 21: There’s good dreaming after midnight. The Cancer Moon is in a trine with Neptune, opening pathways into the subconscious mind. Messages received can be timely, and seemingly divine. By dawn the Moon is void of course and the early hours may feel sluggish. The Moon’s mid-morning arrival in Leo ushers in a noticeably different mood. Whatever situation you are in, give it your full attention. The Leo Moon is opposite Pluto. Use critical reasoning. Work with partners but resist those who simply try to dominate. Later in the day the Moon opposes the conjunct pairing of Venus and Mars. For many partnerships, a lot is riding on today’s interactions. Needs may be extreme. Pride can become an obstacle. Financial negotiations could also be a delicate proposition. Finding middle ground is a significant step forward.
Moon in Cancer v/c 1:38AM-8:40AM Moon enters Leo.
February 22: The wee hours of the morning conjunction of Venus and Mars is an amorous pairing. Enjoy the warm vibes, night owls. During this overnight period a nearly full Leo Moon enlarges appetites as well as imaginations. Day breaks with the Moon heading into a square to unpredictable Uranus. Give yourself permission to change your heart or mind repeatedly, throughout the day. The square won’t be exact until late tonight. Plus, the emotional pitch is rising with the Moon’s growing light. Temperamental types easily become frustrated. Stay fully present and be extra careful if you are driving. A computer or phone could be balky. Mercury’s position at the last degree of Aquarius brings to mind numerous friends and past adventures. A reunion is also possible.
Moon in Leo v/c 11:18PM-12:00AM, Venus conjunction Mars.
February 23: Mercury is in flux. Shortly after midnight, while most people sleep, the Winged Messenger arrives in mysterious Pisces. Minds grow more impressionable and imaginative. Unfathomable dreams can be stimulated. The waxing Leo Moon is void of course most of the day. Don’t allow overwrought emotions to get the better of you. Use the potent energies that are now available. Stay calm and dive into creative projects. Put your personal touch on your work or play. The Moon appears full as she rises tonight. Her evening entry into Virgo sets the stage for tomorrow morning’s Full Moon. A late night lunar opposition with Mercury fires up minds and provokes discussions. Be a good listener.

February 24: The Full Snow Moon in Virgo is exact early this morning. The Moon stands opposite the Pisces Sun, Mercury and Saturn. Clearly, the Pisces side of the scale hold more celestial weight. Here is an invitation to live fully within the constraints of everyday life. It is time to face responsibilities gracefully, whether a major life change is under way or the house needs cleaning. Clarify priorities. Rewrite the rules. Revisit your definition of success. Abandon outworn ideas and things. End fruitless relationships and engineer new, more meaningful commitments. With Jupiter lending a helping hand, many changes are happily made. However, disagreements are also likely as Jupiter is simultaneously tested by Venus, Mars and Pluto. Let others think and say what they will. Do what you know is right for you.

February 25: The now waning Virgo Moon makes a midday trine to Uranus, promoting friendship and community spirit. Lunchtime conversations are lively. Enjoy a few good laughs. Irony will not go unnoticed but take it easy with sarcasm. The continuing square aspects between Mars and Venus in Aquarius to Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus induce volatility. The four planets are in fixed signs. Passions are high, tempers can quickly flare. Opinions are closely held and stubbornly guarded. Fortunately, the Pisces stellium of Mercury, the Sun and Saturn is a cosmic pressure relief valve. Show you care today. Try to be understanding of differing opinions. Offering another point of view may be helpful. Saturn is the ultimate guide to common sense solutions and wisdom. The nighttime atmosphere is at last more relaxing.
Moon in Virgo.
February 26: The void of course Virgo Moon can have some souls singing the Monday blues early this morning. Last night’s dreams may be tough to shake off and minds can be slow to focus. The inertia eases with Luna’s entry into Libra during the mid-morning. Here she jumpstarts the day via an empowering trine to Pluto. Suddenly it feels good to dive in and tackle challenges. Resolving problems is even better. Research is favored, as is working in groups. The imminent square between Mars and Jupiter can be inflammatory. Hotheads are prone to going off. Be respectful of those you disagree with. If harnessed, the potent energies can be used to encourage and inspire others. Just be careful not to push or prod too hard.
Moon in Virgo v/c 2:35AM-9:29AM Moon enters Libra.
February 27: The morning is likely to be the most fruitful part of the day. The waning Libra Moon forms a pair of nifty alignments, trines to Mars and Venus. Camaraderie is warm and friendly. Most people are happy to help one another. This is a superior atmosphere for meetings and brainstorming sessions. Lunchtime gatherings are entertaining. A blast from the past enlivens conversations. Planning ideas are topnotch. A job promotion may even be in the works. By early afternoon the Moon embarks on a lengthy void of course period. As a result, the second half of today feels less compelling. Relax and go with the flow. There are many interesting things to ponder, although for now conclusions may be elusive.

A significant ending could be happening, clearing the way for a new stage in life. The stars lend themselves to decision-making. Just be sure commitments you make are ones you want to keep. Luckily, the Pisces stellium is in harmony with Jupiter. If you look for it, an unobstructed pathway forward appears.

February 29: Happy Leap Day, the extra day added to the month of February once every four years. There’s nothing astrological about it. Blame this quirk in our time keeping on a not terribly accurate calendar. The waning Moon is in Scorpio where she harmonizes with the Pisces stellium of Saturn, the Sun and Mercury. Mercury is also in a faith building sextile to Jupiter early this morning. Optimism remains strong during the first half of the working day. Solid efforts are facilitated into the evening. A more festive mood takes hold in time for dinner. It’s a fine moment to celebrate a friend’s good fortune. Appetites tend to be overindulgent as the Moon is at odds with Jupiter. Outlooks remain upbeat until late tonight. Midnight ramblers are advised to use caution.
