Whether you're off for President's Day (USA) or on the job, the nurturing vibes from the transiting Cancer Moon makes this an excellent day to do something that will nourish your mind, body or soul.
Since this influence is also a sentimental one, you may feel prompted to reach out to family or anyone that you consider part of your tribe.
Whether you're at home or off from work, this home-loving influence suggests you're more likely to shop the sales from comfort of your home or office rather than deal with the crowds.
Tuesday, February 20
No matter what your plans are for the day, it should be pleasant thanks to the continuing support of the transiting Cancer Moon.
If you're involved in a real estate matter or focused on a home-related project, it should be a productive one as well. On that note, if you're scanning the real estate listings, the early afternoon hours could coincide with an unexpected opportunity.
Wednesday, February 21
The Moon goes void at 1:38 AM, and as soon as it enters Leo at 8:41 AM, it engages in an intense confrontation with Pluto that sets the tone for an emotional and potentially dramatic morning.
No matter what happens under this influence, you can expect to react strongly to it (no middle ground here!). In extreme cases, you could feel bullied by someone (or vice versa), and if so, the willful side of the Leo Moon suggests that you're not going to take it.
Emotions are also likely to run high this evening as the transiting Leo Moon opposes the Venus-Mars conjunction (exact tomorrow), which could trigger feelings of irritability and anger. Such a scenario is more likely if you feel that someone isn't appreciating, valuing or supporting you (or vice versa).
Thursday, February 22
Today's Venus-Mars conjunction could coincide with a strong attraction to someone, because whenever the planet of love and the planet of passion embrace, it arouses strong attractions and a desire for physical unions.
However, since this one takes place in Aquarius, romantic sparks are unlikely to fly unless there is also a strong intellectual connection.
Although this aspect is closely associated with romantic unions, the reality is that Venus rules all types of relationships, which means some of you could click with a new friend.
The transiting Moon goes void at 11:19 PM.
Friday, February 23
Transiting Mercury enters Pisces at 2:38 AM, and while that could make the day a little fuzzier for some of you, the bigger story is the lengthy void moon in Leo (from 11:19 PM yesterday until 8:38 PM today).
During this time, it's best to avoid scheduling important meetings, starting a new venture or taking any type of action that requires a definite outcome because the odds are that nothing will come from it. Instead, it favors working on routine tasks and matters that don't require a specific outcome or concrete outcome.
That said, this period of time is considered a very fortunate one for biopsies or any action where you want a negative result.
At 8:38 PM, the transiting Moon enters Virgo, where in less than 12 hours it will become a full moon.
Saturday, February 24
The Virgo full moon occurs at 7:31 AM, and it includes a Venus-Jupiter square. Details below.
Sunday, February 25
If you're paying the price this morning for following the Venus-Jupiter square's indulgent nature, the good news is that today's transiting Virgo Moon will help you get your act together and if need be, clean up the mess.
On a different note, if yesterday's full moon left you feeling discouraged, a beautiful mid-day (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM) connection from the transiting Virgo Moon to Uranus (breakthrough) offers an opportunity to solve a new or long-standing problem.
For everyone else, this is a productive day to focus on any changes you want to make to improve your health and overall efficiency, as well as projects that involve cleaning or organization.
And last but not least, this is a very good day to spend quality with your pets! | | TRANSITING MERCURY IN PISCES FEBRUARY 23 - MARCH 9, 2024 | | Just like the fish swimming in opposite directions, one heading down to murky depths and the other ascending to clearer waters, while Mercury is in Pisces he can be the epitome of enlightenment or the epitome of confusion.
It depends on his filter.
If he chooses to viewi life through an analytical eye, he experiences confusion as the murky waters that the Fish calls home blurs his vision.
However, if he views it through an intuitive eye, he experiences enlightenment as the translucent waters that the Fish also calls home illuminate his vision.
And that's when the magic happens.
Not only does he inexplicably know what he needs to know at this time, but he has no doubt that it's true.
So where do you have an opportunity for enlightenment while Mercury is in Pisces?
Look to the life areas ruled by the house that Mercury in Pisces is visiting in your chart. If you don't know where Mercury is visiting in your horoscope, you can read your rising sign if you know it, or you can refer to the list below to find out where it falls in your solar (sun-sign based) chart.

| | | FULL MOON at 5°23' VIRGO
FEBRUARY 24, 2024 • 7:31 AM EST
With the Virgo Moon opposing the Pisces Sun, this month's full moon suggests a need to balance tough love with compassion.
This theme is reinforced by the Virgo (judgment) Moon's opposition to Saturn (accountability) and Mercury (information), which represents a sobering look at you have have fallen short and why.
Although such a reality check could be disheartening, the full moon's trine to Jupiter infuses this one with optimism that success will come from understanding your missteps and learning from them.
Also lifting the mood of this full moon is the pleasure-loving Venus-Jupiter square, a self-indulgent influence that isn't known for self-reproach or self-discipline.
Rather, it's known for promoting excess, such as overspending, overeating and enjoying an inflated sense of self-worth. For most of you, this will soften the influence of this full moon.
However, depending upon your current circumstances, you could feel discouraged now. If so, you need to be mindful of the excessive influence of the Venus-Jupiter, which could inspire you to drown your sorrows by overindulging in alcohol, sweets or retail therapy.
