Horoscope For Today: Thursday, February 15, 2024

We begin the day with the moon in the early degrees of Taurus, ushering in a luxurious “treat yourself” energy—so anyone who had a less-than-romantic Valentine’s Day can make up for it now by splurging on some half-off chocolate or buying yourself a little something special.

The moon is always comfortable in Taurus, but today it’s making several significant aspects: an exact sextile to Saturn at 8° at midnight, and an exact conjunction with Jupiter at 9° at 1:31 AM EST. For those of you in later time zones, you will feel this energy strongly during your waking hours. For the rest of us in North America, it will feel more like lingering background noise. When the outer planets are involved, the implications of aspects like this are far-reaching and long-lasting.

What can we expect from these aspects on a collective level? Firstly, an intensification of emotion; as the moon separates from expansive Jupiter throughout the day, this will subside, giving you the mental clarity necessary to make more reasonable decisions. But feelings, rather than objective facts, are likely to exert more influence than usual today.

The sextile to Saturn, fortunately, will act as a protective guardrail against some of our more irrational impulses, while also providing us with the ability to create beautiful things that stand the test of time.

Much later in the day, at 7:00 PM EST, the moon links up with one final planet in Taurus. This time it’s Uranus at 19°, indicating the release of information no one sees coming. Chances are, it will relate to Taurean themes, including money, banking, food, or climate issues.

Last but not least, the long-awaited pileup of Aquarius placements are lining up to kick us into revolutionary action, but things are going to get messy before they get better.

While this stellium is heavily emphasizing the importance of humanitarianism and forward-thinking action, the two most malefic planets, Mars and Pluto, are now only one degree apart in Aquarius. There’s not really any way to get around it: this is reflective of widespread violence and destruction through Aquarian means. These include technology, information, nuclear energy, electricity, and the Internet.

The best thing to do during astrological weather like this is to breathe. You are not in control of the big things; all you can do is manage your own small corner of the world, hopefully leaving it better than you found it.

Read on for more details about your upcoming day—but remember to check your ascendant, not sun sign, for the most accurate prediction.

Aries

The moon in your second house is making several harmonious aspects to the outer planets today: Saturn in your twelfth, potentially providing you with emotional and insightful dreams, and Jupiter in your second, which almost guarantees a stroke of luck financially. This windfall might seem random, but it’s been a long time coming, and you worked hard for it. You deserve the good things coming to you. You might get the best news of your life later in the day, when the moon conjoins with Uranus (again, on your money axis), but you certainly won’t see it coming. On the other hand, Pluto and Mars making a close conjunction in your eleventh house is indicative of some kind of transformation—sudden, shocking, and destabilizing—in your social sphere. Is it time to let a certain friend group go? Consider who you want to bring with you into this next chapter of life.

Taurus

There’s a lot going on in your first house today. As the hours progress, the moon will make three positive aspects with Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus, respectively, offering you just as many chances to be shocked—for better or for worse—about your public image and how you come off to people. Many of you will receive unexpected attention online, while others will start new careers that skyrocket you to positions of power very quickly. This is a transformative period for all of you, whether your job is managing a small local boutique or influencing 10M followers on TikTok. You’re about to level up and come into your own. The extra boost of fame necessary to get you to the very top comes from the stellium in your tenth house, especially Mars and Pluto—whose collective energy will throw you wildly out of your comfort zone. Someday you’ll look back on this as a good thing.

Gemini

The day begins with the moon in your twelfth house forming a sextile to Saturn in your twelfth and a conjunction with Jupiter, also in your twelfth. This is prime territory for spiritual enlightenment, or at least some type of divine insight that you receive through your dreams. Pay attention to the imagery and symbols that arise in your subconscious landscape and, if you can remember them, write them down in a journal by your bed. When the moon and Uranus form a conjunction this evening in your twelfth house, you might feel inspired to release a message to the world relating to these profound revelations. Write some poetry in your Moleskine or make a collage; do something that combines your interior world with your compulsive need to make something with your hands. The white noise running through the background of your day today is the Aquarius stellium, which is currently crowding your ninth house. Everything you do right now feels like a divine mission. Slow down and don’t make any hasty choices under the influence of the Mars-Pluto conjunction.

Cancer

Your social life is about to be the major focal point of your day, with the moon in your eleventh house making three separate beautiful aspects: first to Saturn in your ninth, and then to Jupiter and Uranus, also in your eleventh. Have you been feeling restricted by your academic or religious institution? You’ve probably been too attached to your friends to walk away completely. Today might be the day you find safety in community. A stroke of luck, brought forth from a moment of emotional vulnerability, might bring you closer to a friend you never thought you could truly trust—or their true colors could be revealed. Remember, rejection is protection. There could be a surprise conversation later in the day that completely shifts your perspective on the situation, so keep an eye on your group chat. The Mars-Pluto conjunction in your eleventh house is drawing attention to your darker side, so some of you will be forced to reveal secrets you’ve been keeping—or learn something shocking about a debt or inheritance. Try to remain calm in the midst of the storm.

Leo

Today you’re more popular than ever, with the moon transiting your tenth house and making several very important aspects to the outer planets: Saturn in your eighth, and Jupiter and Uranus in your tenth. Your whole life—good and bad—might feel as though it’s on public display today. While Saturn helps keep your darkest secrets safe, you will receive attention from your peers and potentially level up in your career. Jupiter provides a stroke of good luck; Uranus provides shocking and disorienting information. It could be one of the most important days in recent history for your public image, so put your best face forward and show up with confidence. You know you deserve it. On the other hand, your love life might feel a tiny bit scattered as a result of all of this change; Mars and Pluto conjunct in your seventh house will instigate more than a few explosive arguments and even breakups. If you want to make your relationship work, figure out how to maintain a solid work-life balance moving forward.

Virgo

There’s a lot going on in your ninth house today, with the moon conjoining first Jupiter and then Uranus—and Saturn making a sextile to your seventh house. The focus is on broadening your horizons, whether that is through religious, academic, or autodidactic study. Go into self-isolation mode today and learn as much as you can, because this hyper-studious energy doesn’t come along every day. You’ll be feeling particularly passionate and detail-oriented today, showing up open-minded and open-hearted in the pursuit of gnosis. Those of you who have been anticipating an acceptance letter to a specific grad program or work visa might receive some very fortunate news today; later this evening, you might receive even more surprises from abroad, such as a message from a long-distance friend who wants to come visit you. Whether you’re focused on textbooks or travel plans today, one thing is for certain: the Mars-Pluto conjunction in your sixth house is about to completely shake up the foundation of your typical daily routine. Prepare for change—and fast.

Libra

With the moon in your eighth house, your thoughts are broodier and more macabre than usual, but they form several pleasant aspects to outer planets. Throughout the day, you will experience a moon-Jupiter conjunction as well as a moon-Uranus conjunction in your eighth, bringing forth surprises related to your shared resources, debts, and inheritances. The sextile to Saturn in your sixth offers some reassurance that no matter what happens, your work life will remain solid and unaffected to any extreme degree. You might receive some message that destabilizes your sense of security, such as a sibling who believes your share of a deceased relative’s inheritance isn’t fair, but you will ultimately get through it unscathed—and likely walk away with more good fortune. The conjunction of Mars and Pluto in your fifth house can cause disruption with children and short-lived partners; this could be indicative of more jealousy within the family, or a partner who is threatened by your sudden status. Decide whether this relationship is worth fighting for.

Scorpio

Your relationship sector is about to get really interesting, with the moon, Jupiter, and Taurus all conjoining at different points of the day in your seventh house. There’s also the sextile to Saturn in your fifth, which could pull lonely exes back into your realm. You can’t blame Mercury retrograde for this one, but you can blame the commercialism of V-Day. If you’re happily partnered and have no time for entertaining old flames, block their DMs and be done with it. Those of you who are in solid relationships just might end today engaged: the stars are perfectly aligned for it, with Jupiter offering a boost of luck and joy, and Uranus setting the stage for a totally chaotic yet Hallmark-worthy extravaganza, complete with drone footage and Instagram-ready photos. Those of you who are single will be pleased to know that they are also lucky in love today, potentially stumbling upon the one completely by accident. The downfall? Mars and Pluto are closely conjunct in your fourth house, meaning your familial relationships likely aren’t doing the best right now. Wait it out, give them grace, and don’t instigate any arguments if you can help it. The foundation of your literal house might be facing some issues, too: make sure everything is winter-proofed, just in case.

Sagittarius

Your work life is about to go through a seismic shift, with your sixth house overcrowded today. The moon, Jupiter, and Uranus are conjunct at different phases through the day and there is a pretty little sextile to Saturn in your fifth house, offering your creative and romantic life some protection from the outside. A lot of you will get promoted today, but others will learn they’re being moved to another department—or to an office in another city. There will be some unexpected and potentially unsettling news sent your way this evening, but don’t let this put a damper on the positivity you’re feeling. The stellium in your third house indicates you’ve been going through major change in your community or in relationship to your siblings, but the Mars-Pluto conjunction will bring challenges and chaos to this area of your life. Everything you have come to recognize as familiar is about to change, but remember that home can be more than just a physical place. You will find your people as long as you are dogged and persistent about doing so.

Capricorn

Your fifth house is on fire today, with the moon, Jupiter, and Uranus hanging out there—and the moon forming a sextile to Saturn in your third. The theme of the day is communication: between romantic partners, children in your life, and yourself, as you try to navigate your deeply repressed artistic side. If you have been trying to conceive, you very well might receive a positive pregnancy test today with Jupiter lending you a healthy dose of joy and luck. Uranus, too, is representative of big surprises. You’ll be more strategic as you speak with the most important people in your life, using tact and diplomacy rather than your typical Type-A persona. You’re learning to leave that at work—and relax into yourself when you’re at home. The stellium of planets in your second house, particularly Mars and Pluto forming their very close conjunction, indicate massive, potentially nerve-wracking changes to your finances, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Recognize that you are in control of managing your budget, and there are always luxuries you can cut back on. Parents-to-be, you will especially need to start sacrificing your personal desires. This could be the turning point.

Aquarius

There is an explosive stellium of planets in your first house, but we’ll get to that in just a moment. First, the moon in your fourth house—conjunct first Jupiter, then Uranus—and its sextile to Saturn in your second is calling your attention to your home and family life. In particular, you’ll feel as though you need to either start or stop spending so much money on your home; rather, this is a wakeup call to budget, cultivate a spirit of humility, and learn to appreciate what you already have. Now, the Aquarius stellium. There’s no easy way to say it: you have a target on your back right now in the form of Mars and Pluto, the two most malefic planets. People are projecting on you left and right. You will walk around today feeling persecuted, and probably unfairly. Stand your ground and decide whether it’s worth defending yourself. The truth, as they say, always comes out. You may just want to wait this one out. The storm will not last forever. Your personal identity is undergoing a transformation right now, but diamonds are only formed through extreme pressure.

Pisces

Today, the moon in your third house links up with several significant outer planets today: conjunctions with both Jupiter and Uranus in your third and a sextile with Saturn in your first. Planning to take a short-distance trip today? Buy a car? Maybe just get out into your local community and meet some new people? Today is a fortunate day to do all of these things. You’ll have a more serious and mature edge to the way you present yourself today, so if you network with potential clients (or even romantic partners), you can be sure you’ll make a good impression. By the time the evening rolls around, you can expect to receive some surprising yet fortunate news—be it a business proposal in your inbox or a match on Raya from your favorite actor. There’s no telling what can happen under this astro weather, but your communication skills will be effective enough to get you pretty much anything you want. Beware of overthinking yourself into a paranoid spiral, though; the Mars-Pluto conjunction in your twelfth might instigate stress dreams or mental health relapses as so much change happens around you. Sometimes you have to trust that you deserve your blessings.
