Daily Horoscopes for 2/20

Your attempts to hold on to a faulty assumption today are futile as an unscheduled reality check quickly grabs your attention and pulls you from your reverie. It’s challenging to find a graceful way out of a difficult situation if you are caught up in your own idealism. It will take courage to be open enough to receive assistance from a close friend or partner. Don’t be afraid of trying a different approach.

It’s not easy to contain your dreams about your career today. Even if your goals seem to be just within reach, something can happen that forces you to see yourself in a new light. It’s hard to maintain your balance because it feels as if you are on an emotional seesaw. Fortunately, the ride will stop soon and you will have a more realistic view of what you need to do in order to keep your plans moving forward.

Your key planet Mercury joins angry Mars and dreamy Neptune today, lifting your thoughts above the usual limitations of communication. Even your most mundane ideas can now be woven into a creative vision that leads you into the future. And the best part of this surprise is that you are able to materialize your fantasies if you are willing to work hard and then patiently wait for your rewards.

It’s challenging for you to share your innermost thoughts now, even if you think they are very close to the surface. A collection of planets in your 8th House of Intimacy tempts you to keep your desires to yourself to avoid judgment by anyone else. Although remaining quiet seems like the easy way out, you’ll be better off by revealing enough about yourself so that others are interested in knowing more.

A friend might tell you a story today and you won’t even realize that the truth has been exaggerated. Although you don’t like being told lies, the larger issue is about how you can mislead yourself into believing anything you hear. It’s crucial to be able to dream, but it’s also necessary to discern when facts are stretched so far that they become a work of fiction.

Although you may choose to concentrate on activities that have to do with self-improvement today, you could end up having to put more effort into relationship issues than you originally planned. Telling a friend or partner what you want can lead to problems now because you may appear ungrounded at first. Keep talking; your persistence will pay off and eventually you will be taken more seriously.

You may be looking at someone you love through a pair of rose-colored glasses today. However, you can quickly tire of idealistic perceptions, especially if they aren’t practical enough to make real. Thankfully, there’s no need to force something to happen; you are able to float along in your dreams without negative repercussions. Instead of searching for something to complain about now, indulge your fantasies while you still can.

You might not fully understand everything that’s going on at home or within your family now, and you may not be all that eager to figure it out. Sometimes it’s smarter to just leave things alone. Unfortunately, it may be too late for you to remain uninvolved, especially if you’ve already shown your reaction. Don’t pretend that nothing is happening at all. Instead, be honest; keeping your heart open can set the stage for a more meaningful interaction.

You may appear more courageous than you actually feel today because your curiosity is so strong that you can’t sit still. However, you’re probably more concerned than others realize, especially if you are unclear about what you should be doing now. Thankfully, your clarity should begin to return in the next day or two. In the meantime, do what you do best by inspiring others with your contagious enthusiasm.

You want to tell others how to overcome their own fears now, yet first you may need to face a few of your own. You prefer a stable atmosphere where the clouds of illusion are not interfering with your work. Now, however, don’t be afraid of your fantasies; you have the power to make your dreams come true. If you lead by example you won’t have to say anything at all.

Even if you are lost in your fantasies, stern Saturn brings you back to Earth today as someone with authority tells you what to do. However, you won’t likely let others ruin your day and will probably find a way to avoid taking on extra work now. Although you like the idea of being productive, don’t relinquish control to anyone else. Instead, meet your obligations while also expressing your own creativity.

Your imagination is fired up in such a way today that you feel at one with your desire for spiritual enlightenment. But this isn’t only about inspirational ideas or metaphysical studies; it’s about embodying a practice that brings more meaning into your life. Set aside some time for meditation or prayer because you won’t be satisfied now by just knowing the facts. Grab the chance to connect with your own heart in a more soulful manner.
