For Wednesday, February 21

Everyone is likely to demand their own way today. As the individualistic Moon bursts into flamboyant Leo and proceeds to oppose subconscious Pluto and sensual Venus, we may be tempted to manipulate others to get what we want. If that approach doesn’t produce results, we might assert our desires more aggressively as Luna goes on to oppose pushy Mars. Finding compromises probably isn’t realistic at the moment. Perhaps prioritize personal space.

ARIES

MARCH 2 1 -APRIL 1 9

Sharing something personal with your peers could backfire on you now. Although you might be hoping for positive attention or a sense of validation, it’s possible for conflict to erupt. Make sure that you are communicating clearly with friends to avoid any unneeded misunderstandings.

TAURUS

APRIL 2 0 -MAY 2 0 You may currently feel like someone more powerful is picking on you. It might be true that you’re on the righteous side of this particular dispute, but be careful about drawing conclusions that are too broad. Acting as though your victimhood gives you the right to turn around and bully others isn’t a good look.

GEMINI

MAY 2 1 -JUNE 2 0

The temptation to bring up a hot-button issue may be hard for you to resist today. If you can’t stop yourself, at least be realistic about the likely consequences. Don’t act like a victim when you receive the reaction you had coming. Take time to check yourself and respect everyone’s feelings.

CANCER

JUNE 2 1 -JULY 2 2

Feeling vulnerable about your finances could provoke you to consider desperate measures now. Even if your bank balance isn’t what you’d like it to be, there are different ways of looking at the situation. Try to postpone any major decisions until you’re feeling more grounded.

LEO

JULY 2 3 -AUG. 2 2 Conflict in a close relationship is likely today. You might feel the need to tiptoe around a temper. Are they the only one whose emotions are out of control? Perhaps you simply need to get away from each other to break a negative loop that has developed.

VIRGO

AUG. 2 3 -SEPT. 2 2 You probably need rest now, but you could find it difficult to stop pushing yourself to get things done. It’s likely that your own insecurities are driving your desire for constant productivity. Do what you must to feel at peace, but don’t blame others for overloading. Try giving yourself a physical and mental break.

LIBRA

SEPT. 2 3 -OCT. 2 2

Social media could be a battlefield for you today.

Perhaps you’re defending a cause dear to your heart or it could be some heated gossip swirling around. Regardless, remember how surface level social media can be. Do not let it take away from your inner peace.

SCORPIO

OCT. 2 3 -NOV. 2 1

A family problem could become public now. Although disclosure might be embarrassing, letting others know what you’re dealing with can also be a relief. Admit the complexity of your own desires — you don’t have to make anyone else the scapegoat. Sometimes vulnerability is key.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 2 2 -DEC. 2 1

You might need to find a kind way to tell people something they don’t want to hear today.

The unpleasant parts of your message are obvious, as much as you might try to cover them with sweetness. Make sure your intentions are good before speaking words that could hurt.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 2 2 -JAN. 1 9 Using money to throw your weight around could be tempting at this time. Your desire for control might be more obvious than you suspect though. Only offer what you’re able to release without strings attached, and recognize that true gifts sometimes cost no money at all.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 2 0 -FEB. 1 8

Dominating someone else just because you can get away with it is a risk at the moment. Perhaps the other person reminds you of a vulnerable part of yourself that inspires shame. Admitting that you have a softer side doesn’t make you weak but rather the opposite.

PISCES

FEB. 1 9 -MARCH 2 0 Someone could be causing trouble for you behind your back at this time. Perhaps they weren’t where they said they were going to be, or maybe they left telltale items lying around. Physical evidence can help you confront them, but make sure you’re emotionally up for the challenge before entering this conversation.
