Horoscope For Today: Thursday, February 20, 2025

The North Node-Neptune conjunction is still the most notable transit occurring right now, due to the fact that it involves both the karmic nodes and one of the outer planets, which rules over the collective more than the individual. Furthermore, we’re in the thick of delusion right now, with a grand total of five planets, including the sun, Mercury, and Saturn, now stationed in Pisces’ dreamy territory.

There are several other transits that will also unfold over the course of the day, beginning with the moon in Scorpio’s exact trine to Neptune and the North Node at 5:06 AM EST. This brings a cunning, investigative energy to the mix, enabling truth seekers to peer behind the veil and uncover dark and hidden realities.

Taboo, sex, black magic, and the occult are all Scorpionic, while Pisces rules over those substances that open the mind. Those who have an interest in such things will feel almost compulsively driven to engage with dark practices, whether they are of the mundane sort (drugs) or the mystical (astral travel).

A word of caution: sometimes it’s better to leave some things to the imagination. While creativity can be unlocked more readily under the influence, with this much Pisces we’re now rapidly approaching the danger zone. Many people will push themselves too far. Just because you theoretically can engage in method acting doesn’t mean you should. What’s more, a meditative spiritual high can provide many of the same advantages, without the risks.

At 7:55 AM, the moon ingresses into bright, free-wheeling Sagittarius, changing the vibe of the morning almost instantly. We’ll feel empowered to chase our dreams in a concrete, spontaneous manner, rather than sit in a trance-like state ruminating on how they might go wrong.

The moon squares off against the sun at 2° Pisces at 12:32 PM, challenging us to balance our passive and active energies. We may know, rationally, that this is the time to be patient and cautious, but our emotional sides will be primed to shoot the Archer’s arrows straight in the direction of our goals.

At 1:11 PM, the moon forms a sextile to Pluto at 2° Aquarius, providing us with the harsh reality check we may need. This is an important time to listen to your peers and your community, as their insights are likely to be helpful. You might not like what they have to say, but our collective focus should be on the world at large right now, rather than on our own individual desires.

Today is a whirlwind, but you can weather the storm if you’re prepared. Read the following forecast according to your rising sign for a little bit of preparation.

Aries

This morning the moon in your eighth house makes a trine to Neptune and the North Node in your twelfth, illuminating the shadows that you might have been ignoring. Soon after, however, the moon moves into your ninth house, encouraging you to faithfully pursue your dreams with a renewed optimism. When the moon squares off against the sun in your twelfth around noon, you’ll feel doubtful about the practical application of your spiritual practices and academic knowledge. When the moon sextiles Pluto in your eleventh house, your idealism will attract the attention—and potentially some tough love—of your wider social network.

Taurus

Early this morning, the moon in your seventh house forms a trine to Neptune and the North Node in your eleventh, revealing ways in which your relationship is impacting your friend group. After, when the moon ingresses into your eighth house, you will view things through a slightly more realistic lens, and when it squares off against the sun in your eleventh around midday, you’ll be torn between idealism and pessimism. Talk to your most trusted friends to get some objective advice. Later, the moon’s sextile to Pluto in your tenth house reflects major changes to your income and the way you show up in the world professionally.

Gemini

This morning when the moon in your sixth house makes a trine to Neptune and the North Node in your tenth, you can expect your daily habits to pay off and give you a platform through which to express your creative and spiritual impulses. When the moon ingresses into your seventh house later on, you’ll become more focused on relationships and collaboration; when it squares the sun in your tenth, you are likely to face creative differences or conflicts within an existing partnership. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your ninth house will trigger a breakthrough between you and your partner, forcing you to own up to your differences and the ways in which you are misaligned.

Cancer

This morning the moon in your fifth house trines Neptune and the North Node in your ninth, reflecting your resilient creative and spiritual energy. But when the moon moves into your sixth house later, your focus will shift to productivity, and when it squares the sun in your ninth, you’ll be torn between your desire to lock in and the existential rabbit holes you’re tempted to go down. When the moon forms a sextile to Pluto in your eighth house, you can expect transformative changes to your daily work life and how you share resources with others.

Leo

Early this morning, the moon in your fourth house forms a trine with Neptune and the North Node in your eighth, encouraging you to put on your saddest playlist and cathartically release some pent-up emotion. Once the moon moves into your fifth house, you’ll be hit with a spark of creative passion. Midway through the day, when it squares off against the sun in your eighth, you’ll be able to utilize this inspiration in a productive way. Later, the moon’s sextile to Pluto in your seventh house brings the drama to your relationship sector, solidifying some casual flings into something deeper and more committed while serving as the breaking point for other couples who are on rocky ground.

Virgo

This morning the moon in your third house trines Neptune and the North Node in your seventh, creating the ideal landscape for thoughtful communication with your partner. Once the moon has ingressed into your fourth house, you’ll be feeling like a total homebody, enjoying the comforts of domesticity. However, around noon, when it squares the sun in your seventh house, your simple pleasures are likely to be interrupted by your partner’s needs. Later on, when the moon sextiles Pluto in your sixth house, you can expect to hear some major news regarding your work situation that inevitably impacts your home life too.

Libra

This morning the moon in your second house forms a trine with Neptune and the North Node in your sixth, indicating powerful possibilities to increase your net worth if you think outside the box. When the moon makes its way into your third house, your communication skills and sociability will be on point, while the square-off against the sun in your sixth house suggests some difficulty getting through to coworkers. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your fifth house might bring an abrupt end to a casual fling or a creative project you’ve been banking on, but you must trust that it is a blessing in disguise.

Scorpio

This morning, with the moon in your first house forming a trine with Neptune and the North Node in your fifth, you’ll feel empowered to action on a creative project or to shoot your shot with your crush. However, once the moon ingresses into your second house, your focus will inevitably turn to your finances and values, and when it squares off against the sun in your fifth, you’ll be left wondering how to stay true to your convictions within casual relationships—and how to speak the truth through your art. Later, the moon sextiles Pluto in your fourth house, triggering potentially painful events in your home and family that may require you to analyze your spending habits and what you’ve been prioritizing.

Sagittarius

When the moon is in your twelfth house this morning, forming a trine with Neptune and the North Node in your fourth, you can expect to feel intimately attached to your home and the life you have built with your family. Once the moon ingresses into your first house, however, you’ll be required to show up in the world with more confidence than you’re actually feeling, and when it squares the sun in your fourth house, you’ll be torn between choosing your public reputation and the people who love you behind closed doors. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your third house delivers some brutal honesty from your extended family or local community about how you’re being perceived.

Capricorn

In the early morning hours, the moon in your eleventh house makes a trine to Neptune and the North Node in your third, reflecting your active group chat and sociable mood. However, the moon ingresses into your twelfth house soon after and puts you in a more introspective state of mind. Midday, the moon squares the sun in your third house, encouraging you to journal your feelings or consult a trusted friend or sibling. Later, when the moon forms a sextile to Pluto in your second house, you can expect radical changes to your mindset about money, potentially triggered by an external event that humbles you.

Aquarius

Early this morning, the moon in your tenth house trines Neptune and the North Node in your second, putting your reputation on blast and demanding you take your finances more seriously. The moon’s ingress into your eleventh house brings the help of your larger social network, but once it squares off with the sun in your second house, your current financial difficulties might drive a wedge between you and your friend group. You’re not on the same page right now, and that’s okay. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your first house encourages you to seek out new counsel as you reinvent yourself in this chapter of your life.

Pisces

This morning the moon in your ninth house trines Neptune and the North Node in your first, offering you an opportunity to view your religious or cultural community with new eyes and analyze your place within it. Once the moon moves into your tenth house, you’ll be feeling as though all eyes are on you; around noon, when it squares the sun in your first house, you might receive negative attention or a reminder not to challenge the status quo. The moon’s sextile to Pluto in your twelfth house demands deep self-reflection and contemplation about what you actually stand for.
