Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, February 22

Aries

With the Waning Crescent Moon, this is a time for winding down rather than revving up, dear Aries. However, there can be continued tensions to deal with today, making it a real challenge to relax. Work or duty demands your attention, but there can be many different distractions as you struggle with where to devote your energies. Your responsibilities and reputation are prominent in your mind today and continue to be sensitive topics. While you should concern yourself with what others expect of you to some degree now with the Moon at the top of your chart, there is no need to overdo this beyond what you can do at the moment. Try to turn competition or criticism around by using it to fuel your motivation to improve.

Taurus

Today, you’re thinking in bigger terms than usual and larger issues that concern you come into play, dear Taurus. You are prompted to think about your long-range goals and plans. Looking at the bigger picture often soothes and comforts you, but today, you may feel a little tense about what might lie ahead of you. Uncertainty can prevail, and it’s a good idea to resist the inclination to attempt to control situations to compensate. Focus on what you have to do and save important conversations for a better day. Others may be promising more than they can deliver today, so keep that in mind before you count too much on something. A wait-and-see attitude is best.

Gemini

You can be a little secretive or protective of your plans and feelings today, dear Gemini. You are not feeling very trusting right now, and this may be a sign that you are not secure about your own decisions. Even so, there is certainly a fair amount of subterfuge going on now so you may have good reason to keep some things to yourself. Think more carefully before going forward with important projects. The Moon moves into its waning Crescent phase, and this points to the need to wind down in the days before the Solar Eclipse on the 26th. Superficial interactions are likely to feel especially awkward and unappealing now, as you are craving more intimacy and depth to your experiences. Work on emotional self-control today, but do listen to what your feelings are telling you. Try not to waste your time worrying about those things you can’t control.

Cancer

Be more on guard than usual about gossip or misrepresentation today, dear Cancer. Confront your fears about past matters so that you’ll be better equipped to handle them if they do reappear in your life. Your larger focus today is to help foster a sense of balance and peace with others and in your personal environment. However, it can take a lot of frustrating trial and error getting to this point – it’s a tall order right now, so don’t get down on yourself if you can’t quite achieve it. It takes two, as they say! Maintain a strong sense of identity while you tend to the needs of others to avoid resentment. If you feel too dependent on others’ schedules, plans, and needs, take steps to change this, but keep in mind that it will take time, so don’t put all the pressure on to do so immediately.

Leo

Make sure you get all the facts before making commitments right now, dear Leo, or hold off on the big issues for a while longer. There is a tremendous amount of tension in your communications sectors these days which can play with your reasoning powers. You have a stronger than usual desire today to be useful and helpful, but if you are not appreciated for all that you do, you might feel resentful. The trick now is to do it for yourself first. Even if the task is about helping others, do it because you feel good about helping. While there can be a tendency to scatter your energies, you might end up getting a lot done, largely because you can be quite worked up about things that aren’t going well for you and motivated to set things right again. Today requires some form of clean-up.

Virgo

This is not the most open or trusting of days, dear Virgo. The Moon in your solar fifth house of heartfelt pursuits clashes with a number of planets, stimulating doubts, fears, and a sense that you’ll encounter blocks if you go after what or who you want. Signals can get crossed in love matters, and emotions are up and down. Be mindful of what you’re taking on, particularly new projects or commitments, as there may be a reason to regret them later on. There can be intensity in your personal life today, and possibly some moodiness. It can be difficult making a definitive decision, but it may be wise to wait, particularly as we approach a Solar Eclipse which will bring new energy into our lives.

Libra

Buried resentments continue to pop up today, dear Libra, and you’ll be in the best shape if you can nip those in the bud as soon as possible. People around you are dealing with their own issues and are less likely than usual to intuit your needs, so you may need to find ways to take care of yourself. This is not the most outgoing of days in the lunar cycle, and while you are more emotionally invested in your personal life, it’s an area where there is likely to be more intensity than usual. If excess energy is used positively, feeling frustrated with your domestic situation can light a fire under you to get things sorted out. Look for ways to unburden and simplify your environment and think in terms of lightening your load.

Scorpio

You have a tendency to read so much into situations today that you put yourself into a funk, dear Scorpio. It can be difficult to pull your mind out of a spiraling loop today, but it’s important to try to do so. Obsessing over things that have already happened can only serve to bring you down. However, if you need to sort something out, take the time to do so. Keep in mind that this is not the best time to speak your mind – wait until you are in a clearer headspace. Gentle physical exercise may be just the ticket for soothing an exhausted nervous system. Streamlining your work is important now, and it’s likely to become abundantly clear that you need to tune out distractions.

Sagittarius

Emotions do settle a little with the Moon in your solar second house, dear Sagittarius, but the day is not without conflict. There can be some crankiness to deal with today, as well as concerns about your income or money situation. In all likelihood, your fears are blown out of proportion, and the sooner you get perspective, the better. Your appetite for material comforts increases today, but so does your desire to bring in more money. As long as you can find a healthy balance between these two drives, you will come out ahead. You’re fine with going your own way, but things are much easier when others are cooperating, so you may want to wait it out.

Capricorn

Aim to be as flexible as possible today, as difficult as that may be, dear Capricorn, to avoid letting small things get to you. The Moon in your sign brings unacknowledged feelings to light, which can be illuminating, but with the Moon’s challenging aspects today, watch for overreaction. Pushing or working too hard could be an issue now, and taking on far too many lofty goals at once can wear on your patience. Relations can be a little tense with or among family, and the matter may be about power and control rather than the surface topic. You are especially sensitive right now, and your emotions can swing dramatically. Aim to take undue pressure off yourself now.

Aquarius

Try not to rush matters to a quick conclusion due to impatience today, dear Aquarius. With the Moon in your private twelfth house all day, you instinctively withdraw from challenging or demanding situations. You may be seeking some alone time or extra rest. However, truly relaxing today can be difficult, and demanding people or circumstances may very well find you! Learning, communications, and partnering are areas of big opportunities these days, but you may be jumping ahead of yourself, and in the process, creating unnecessary tension.

Pisces

You can feel particularly impatient if left waiting for others today, dear Pisces. At the same time, you shouldn’t be entirely excluding people, as this is the time in your lunar cycle to recognize the value of the team. Instead of waiting for people to sense what you want or need, express yourself and take action. While today can certainly be difficult with cranky energy around you, frustrations experienced now can be lead to new strategies that truly work for you. Try not to jump ahead on new projects if you haven’t yet completed the ones already in place. Give thought to your finances and how you can make important changes that free you from worry and limiting attitudes.

Your Personal Daily Tarot Card

The World

Like The Sun, The World brings good blessings. The World appears where all is in balance. It allows you to act effectively not only as an individual but as a member of a group too. The World promises contentment, fulfillment and completeness to those under its influence. It doesn’t guarantee there will not be moments of strife or discord in your life, but it does indicate that your trials and tribulations will be overcome; that ultimately you will know inner-peace and contentment. The World suggests you have found or will find your place in our Universe—that place where all is as it should be.

Learn The Tarot

General Meaning

Traditionally, The Magician is one who can demonstrate hands-on magic — as in healing, transformative rituals, alchemical transmutations, charging of talismans, and the like. A modern Magician is any person who completes the circuit between heaven and Earth; one who seeks to bring forth the divine gold within her or himself.

At the birth of Tarot, even a gifted healer who was not an ordained clergyman was considered to be in league with The Devil! For obvious reasons, the line between fooling the eye with sleight of hand and charging the world with magical will, was not clearly differentiated in the early Tarot cards.

Waite’s image of The Magician as the solitary ritualist communing with the spirits of the elements — with its formal arrangement of symbols — is a token of the freedom we have in modern times to declare our spiritual politics without fear of reprisal. The older cards were never so explicit about what The Magician was doing. It’s best to keep your imagination open with this card. Visualize yourself manifesting something unique, guided by evolutionary forces that emerge spontaneously from within your soul.

In the Advice Position

Trust your inspiration. You are smarter than you think.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

Have faith in your innate creativity. The Magician advises you give your questioning nature and free-associating mind plenty of room to explore the subject at hand. Behave just as if you were an open-minded and curious scientist. Through this process, you may bring freshness and clarity into the situation that is both stimulating and catalytic.

You do not have to understand it all intellectually. Besides, intuition is your ace in the hole. Respond in a spontaneous manner to what is right in front of you. There is no reason to hold yourself back. Your natural urges are exactly what is needed, and, your ingenuous timing and elegant style will help smooth over any awkwardness.

Your Lucky Tarot Card for the Week of February 20th

This card represents elements that favor you.

This card represents the dreamer in you, the idealist, the mystic. The Fool desires to do great things, but is often unaware of just how difficult great things are to do. He must always be very careful of the choices he makes, and remember knowledge is his ally. The Fool often symbolizes a new beginning, unrestrained optimism, and curiosity that hasn’t been dulled by time. While The Fool may well indicate a lack of experience or grasp of the pitfalls along the path he is taking, it is equally true that his lack of experience leads him to believe all things are possible, which brings even impossible goals within his grasp.

When The Hanged Man or The Star are among your personal cards, the influence of The Fool may be increased. Having The Devil in your personal cards may diminish the influence of The Fool.

Shuffling The Cards, Your Influences for the Week of February 20th

Let’s Talk Witch – Divining the Future

Tarot Cards

Tarot is one of the most popular forms of divination. A tarot deck consists of seventy-eight cards: twenty-two Major Arcana and fifty-six Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana represent archetypes and reflect the life cycle. When they appear in a spread, they are considered to have a stronger influence than the Minor Arcana cards. The Minor Arcana has four suits, and roughly corresponds to a standard deck of playing cards. The four original suits were coins, staffs, wands, and swords, but many modern decks have updated the suits as pentacles, wands, cups, and swords. Each suit is related to specific attributes, and has the numbers one through ten, plus an ace, page, knight, queen, and king.

Polar Ring Galaxy NGC 660
Image Credit & Copyright: CHART32 Team, Processing – Johannes Schedler

Explanation: NGC 660 is featured in this cosmic snapshot. Over 40 million light-years away and swimming within the boundaries of the constellation Pisces, NGC 660’s peculiar appearance marks it as a polar ring galaxy. A rare galaxy type, polar ring galaxies have a substantial population of stars, gas, and dust orbiting in rings strongly tilted from the plane of the galactic disk. The bizarre-looking configuration could have been caused by the chance capture of material from a passing galaxy by a disk galaxy, with the captured debris eventually strung out in a rotating ring. The violent gravitational interaction would account for the myriad pinkish star forming regions scattered along NGC 660’s ring. The polar ring component can also be used to explore the shape of the galaxy’s otherwise unseen dark matter halo by calculating the dark matter’s gravitational influence on the rotation of the ring and disk. Broader than the disk, NGC 660’s ring spans over 50,000 light-years.

Your Charm for Today

Today’s Meaning:
This aspect of your life will be strongly influenced by a person who is determined, forceful, emotional, intuitive, powerful, passionate, exciting and magnetic. This person is probably an acquaintance you made at work.

General Description:

Those born under Scorpio were believed to be energetic, strongly determined, persistent, and thorough in their undertakings, with inflexible will-power, of magnetic personality, affable, just, affectionate, and powerful convicting speakers. The Scorpio gems aare the Aquamarine and Beryl. The Aquamarine has always been reverenced in the East as all emblem of purity, and was given at marriage for increasing mutual love. In Rome worn for cheerfulness, curing distempers and internal complaints; by mariners to protect them from sickness and danger at sea.

Your Ancient Symbol Cards for the Weekend of February 17th

The Eastern Dragon

The Eastern Dragon derives its symbolism from eons of rich, Asian culture. The Eastern Dragon is a revered creature who brings good fortune and power to those under its influence. It influences situations by supplying courage, nobility and perseverance. The Eastern Dragon is the most Yang of creatures in Chinese mythology, and represents the male character at its strongest and best.

The Cat

The Cat represents the need for stealth and the freedom to act without restrictions. Acting stealthily in no way implies the need for underhanded behavior. Instead the suggestion here is to move quietly towards your goals and reach out for them when they are within range. It also denotes a need to free yourself from restrictions imposed by others.

Your Weekend Influences for February 17th – 19th

Tarot Influence

Ten of Coins Reversed

You and your family may suffer through some misfortune. Be wary of high risk ventures.

Astrological Influence

Virgo Reversed

Virgo reversed signifies a lack of honor and settling for the superficial.

Element Influence

Earth Reversed

Earth reversed denotes a lack of positive connection with the life spirit–a lost soul. If you are not careful you may miss much of what life has to offer you.

Integrate two potential realities or let go of one of them.

General Meaning

Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally The Lovers Tarot card reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.

Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.

Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

In the Advice Position

Creative compromise helps you accept your commitments fully.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Lovers card advises that you study your options and make the wisest choice. Carefully consider your long-term interests. There is no judgment on what you choose to keep from the array of possibilities before you. Just watch out for choices that will produce dissatisfaction and discontent.

Be willing to make some compromises, then stick with the commitments you finally make. Trust your intuition along with your rational intellect, and once you make your choice, carry it out with conviction.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, February 17th

Aries

The Sun moves into your privacy sector this morning, dear Aries, launching a yearly month-long cycle in which you require more rest and time for reflection before you begin a brand-new cycle in March. It’s the end of the solar year, and you’re in good shape for reviewing recent events and completing some projects that have outgrown their use. You can benefit from some extra time to yourself and relative anonymity. Healing, restful activities are helpful now, particularly if you’ve gotten yourself into a state of overload. The Moon moves into your adventure sector this afternoon, however, and conflicting urges are likely. On the one hand, you’d rather withdraw into yourself, and on the other, you crave new experiences. This is only a state of mind and is temporary. In fact, the friction created now can prompt you to find creative solutions to your dilemma.

Taurus

The Sun’s move into your social sector today launches a month-long cycle in which social opportunities increase, dear Taurus. Your performance and material goals begin to take on less importance to you going forward. Friends may come out of the woodwork, invitations come in, and chances to connect with your “happiness goals” emerge in the weeks ahead. You enjoy group activities or teamwork now. You are more experimental in your approach to the world as you come out of a cycle in which you followed the rules more carefully than usual. This is a light-hearted, somewhat detached cycle so that when the Moon moves into your deep, intimate solar eighth house early afternoon, you may feel quite conflicted. However, once you get over this hump, you’ll discover ways to satisfy both your need to feel attached and your desire to branch out.

Gemini

The Sun moves to the top of your solar chart this morning, dear Gemini, representing a yearly peak of sorts. This can be a time to perform or make announcements for some. In the coming month, the Sun’s transit of your career and reputation sector encourages you to play by the rules more carefully, to fill your responsibilities, and to nurture your ambitions. It’s a goal-setting time of year. You may be leading or managing others now, or you could be outshining others in your career. You receive more attention, and perhaps a little scrutiny. The Moon moves into your partnership sector this afternoon, encouraging you to focus on your relationships or social life, however. Your need for reassurance and your drive to succeed seem to be at cross-purposes now, but with some creativity, you can manage both.

Cancer

With the Sun now traveling through your solar ninth house for the coming month, dear Cancer, you have a taste for adventure in some form, whether physical or mental, and you’re inclined to search for ways to broaden your horizons and your understanding of the world. You seek out truths and answers to the bigger life questions. This is a time for entertaining ideas for your future and for getting a larger perspective or overview of your life. There tend to be fewer obstacles in your way, in general. Today, however, with the Quarter Moon in your solar sixth house challenging the Sun, you should avoid taking on too much or promising more than you can deliver. The desire to take care of details conflicts with your urge to expand your experiences. You find problems hard to ignore right now. Look for solutions rather than allow tension rule your day.

Leo

The Sun enters your solar eighth house this morning, dear Leo, launching a month-long cycle in which you pay considerable attention to your private world. You desire a little more intensity from life than usual – this is a time for really diving into your projects, relationships, and endeavors. There can be some feelings of discontent with life as it is, and this can prompt you to make deep changes. Matters related to power dynamics, money, and sharing can be bigger themes in your life until March 20th. You’re inclined to strategize and plan rather than jump into action during this cycle. Today, the Moon’s move into your solar fifth house clashes with these themes, creating some friction, as it encourages you to seek out lighter, more playful and spontaneous experiences.

Virgo

The Sun moves into your opposite sign this morning, dear Virgo, where it will transit for the coming month. This can be a time of year when a close partnership comes into stronger focus. You’re more relationship-focused than usual now, and you’re inclined to seek out one-on-one activities. You are putting more of yourself and your energy into your relationships with others. If you’ve been focusing too much on your personal plans or if your life has become a little out of balance, this is a time to create more harmony. Today, the Moon moves into your sector of home and family, however, and you can feel a strong tug towards familiar activities and perhaps keeping to yourself. Some tension is possible as a result, but can also stimulate you to seek out creative solutions.

Libra

The Sun’s move into your solar sixth house today brings a new theme of work and health into your life for the coming month, dear Libra. This is a time for really digging into the details of your life, solving problems, and getting your life in order in key ways. You’re particularly good at adjusting to life’s circumstances and making small changes that help you get on track. This is a great time for perfecting skills and projects, although there can be times when you find it hard to feel satisfied, which can lead to tension. Watch for a tendency to worry, fret, and otherwise overthink. Use this period well for stepping up your routines and taking care of unfinished business. Today, the Moon moves into your solar third house and clashes with the Sun, however. While you can be equally interested in personal pursuits and duties, it’s important not to overdo. Life can be a little too chaotic.

Scorpio

The Moon continues its transit of your sign until early afternoon, dear Scorpio, and emotions are heightened. The Sun moves into harmony with your sign, and this month-long transit brings a certain smoothness to your activities that you should enjoy. Until March 20th, you’re likely to take a stronger interest in your creative and romantic pursuits, and you’re investing more of your pride and energy than usual into these areas of life. You are seeking out channels for expressing yourself and your affections. Heartfelt pursuits are in high focus now. While this cycle encourages you to take some small personal risks, the Moon’s move into your comfortable solar second house quickly clashes with the Sun, posing a dilemma: to play it safe or take a chance, that is the question now!

Sagittarius

The Sun moves to the bottom of your solar chart today, dear Sagittarius, and will spend one month here, encouraging you to get in better touch with your inner needs. This is a time for touching base with loved ones, paying particular attention to family, and working on making your home a place that supports and comforts you. This is a great time for considering long-term plans for security. You are looking to take care of your fundamental needs and seeking emotional sustenance now before branching out. It’s a favorable time for investing creative energy into your personal life and domestic environment. However, with the Moon’s move into your sign this afternoon, you’re seeking validation outside of yourself, and its clash with the Sun today can present a dilemma. You’ll figure out ways to satisfy your needs for both independence and safety in due time.

Capricorn

The Sun moves into your communications sector this morning, dear Capricorn. During its month-long stay in this house of your solar chart, you crave more connection with the world around you. Your curiosity is bigger than usual, and your need for mental stimulation motivates a lot that you do. You might find that you’re often on the go, even if this is figuratively speaking, and that while you’re not always focused and concentrating, you’re branching out and learning a lot in the process. You may be motivated to express yourself more clearly in your communications. You can be excited to share your ideas and opinions. The Moon moves into your privacy sector this afternoon, however, and quickly clashes with the Sun, creating an inner conflict. You can be divided in your desires and needs, with your head telling you one thing and your heart another. In truth, you need both quiet time and interactions with others, so aim to get both without overdoing either.

Aquarius

The Sun completes its transit of your sign today, dear Aquarius, not to return until next year. This move tends to shift your focus away from personal plans and towards building the resources you have or building upon new ideas and projects. The month-long transit beginning today encourages patience and thinking in the long term. Ideally, you’ve gained some confidence in the last few weeks, and you’re now ready to focus on developing what you have and earning what you deserve. This is an excellent time for exploring and understanding what you value, as well as for getting a strong sense of what you have to work with. Developing talents and using your resources creatively are themes now. While you’re focused on comfort and security during this cycle, the Moon moves into your solar eleventh house this afternoon and encourages you to experiment with new concepts. You can feel a little tense and divided until you discover ways to satisfy both needs.

Pisces

The Sun moves into your sign this morning, dear Pisces, and will transit Pisces until March 20th. This is a time for gaining a clearer sense of yourself. Your personal presence is stronger than usual – others notice you and tend to follow your lead. It’s a great time for feeling in control of your life or for making changes and getting results. You are more self-focused than usual, and this is a good thing to a certain point, beyond which you can run into problems, of course. Otherwise, take this time to work on asserting yourself successfully and for improving your image or attitude to new beginnings. The Moon moves into your career and reputation sector this afternoon, quickly clashing with the Sun in your sign. This can point to some tension as you crave independence but also wish to fill your responsibilities to others. Once sorted, you’re raring to go.

Your Birthday Year Forecast

You are a responsible, success-oriented, and driven person who rises to most any challenge that comes your way. Your staying power is tremendous, and others are generally in awe of your ability to overcome obstacles. Your professional life is extremely important to you. You need to be careful that your worldly ambitions don’t take over your life. Others admire you for your cool and collected approach to the world, and although you enjoy this reputation, it can come at a price–you don’t always open your heart to others and might feel alone even if you are surrounded by people. Famous people born today: Rene Russo, Lou Diamond Phillips, Michael Jordan, Denise Richards, Billie Joe Armstrong, Paris Hilton, Margaret Truman.

Mental pursuits, new learning, and all forms of intellectual activity are especially favored in the year ahead. There can be animated discussions, debates, lectures, and travel in high focus. You are quick to take the initiative and to put your thoughts into action. You may enjoy increased activity with younger people or friends. Once you get going on an area of study or project, you bring great energy to your endeavor.

You have Uranus transiting in harmony to your Sun this year, and exciting changes and new interests characterize the period ahead. It’s easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, a new love affair, or an entirely new hobby, it’s something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. It’s a good time to join organizations and groups and to attend meetings or social events. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Flexibility is the key to success under this influence. Your personality is sparkling this year, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life.

Another strong influence that enters the picture this year is also beneficial in a different way. You receive practical support from a harmonious Saturn transit to your Sun. You are practical in your choices (for the most part), keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. You have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side during this period. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off – not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work.

This is a year in which you put your life in order in some significant manner. Improved concentration, a more realistic outlook, and a practical awareness of the limits of time all help you to make steady progress, particularly in your career. Your concern for your future this year is stronger than usual, and you may find that projects you start, or investments you make, this year will benefit you for years to come.

This is a time when you’re more likely to be doing what you enjoy, and enjoying what you’re doing, particularly related to career, work, and life path matters, but extending to other areas of life as well. This can be a time of breakthroughs and new structures in your life. There is an opportunity to combine stability and improvement or excitement with good results. The same can be said of innovation and tradition.

There can be romantic excitement this year. There is more spontaneity in your social life. In business, you’re tuned into future trends and your innovative side emerges strongly.

This is a powerful year for putting your ideas into motion and for turning dreams into reality. You enjoy making long-term plans and learning about a variety of subjects.
