Horoscope For Today: Sunday, February 18, 2024

Today is marked by two important transitions. Both of the luminaries ingress out of air signs and into water signs, shifting the dynamic, broadly speaking, from detached intellectualism to raw emotionality. We’re walking into quieter and more peaceful territory; the days ahead will be infused with an introspective and creative energy that is ideal for turning dreams into reality.

The bad news is that, for most of the day, the moon is hanging out in restless Gemini. This may make it difficult to commit to a single task, and you might find your mind racing with ideas. And there the moon will remain until 10:25 PM EST, at which point it moves into the sign where it is naturally most comfortable: Cancer.

More importantly, at 11:14, the sun also changes signs. If you can believe it, we’re already almost at the end of the zodiacal year. Yes, Pisces season officially begins tonight!

While the transition from Aquarius to Pisces season is always a bit of a relief, reminding those of us in the northern hemisphere that the Saturnian bleakness of winter is behind us, tonight’s shift might not feel quite so tangible.

This is, of course, due to the massive Aquarius stellium exerting its eccentricity upon all of us. The pile-up includes Pluto, Venus, and Mars all within several degrees of each other, plus Mercury. There’s no avoiding it: relationships will struggle under these transits. But if you and your partner can navigate this difficult terrain, you will definitely come out of it stronger—emotionally, mentally, psychologically, and spiritually.

What’s in store for you individually? Read your forecast for your rising sign for the most accurate insight into how today will play out for you.

Aries

For the majority of the day the moon will be illuminating your third house, so it’s a good day to work on a writing project or communicate expansive or complex ideas to anyone in your immediate circle. Spend time with siblings or neighbors, or drop into a new coffee shop to journal or read—you might just meet someone new who you connect with. The world will feel large and full of promise today. The Aquarius stellium in your eleventh house elevates your chances of broadening your social group, especially if you are involved in activism or advocacy; you are likely to connect with people who are truly aligned with you and committed to the same vision. If you’ve struggled with shallow, surface-level friendships in the past, this is a new era for you—one in which you finally begin to meet your intellectual and ideological peers. Tonight, the sun ingresses into your twelfth house, so put on some white noise and keep a dream journal by your bed.

Taurus

With the moon in your second house for most of the day, you might find yourself over-thinking your finances or window-shopping online when you know you need to save instead of splurge. Text your most fiscally responsible friend if you need to be talked off the ledge, or schedule an appointment with a financial advisor in the near future. You might feel out of control and anxious about your spending habits, but don’t spiral into paranoia. Give it a day or two and your mind will feel clearer. Your tenth house is occupied by a major Aquarius stellium, giving you a boost of popularity pretty much everywhere; if you have suddenly and unexpectedly shot up into a higher tax bracket, it’s not a huge shock. Plenty of you are becoming overnight success stories right now, and everyone loves a rags-to-riches story. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. The sun enters your eleventh house tonight, ushering in a season of further growth in the public sphere and cultivation of a supportive network.

Gemini

The moon in your first house might trigger some emotional projection from others around you, or it might make you weepier than usual. Don’t be afraid to wear your heart on your sleeve. It’s a good day to catch up with old friends over coffee and allow yourself to just talk. The most trusted people in your inner circle, after all, are those who provide both intellectual and emotional stimulation. The Aquarius stellium is currently occupying your ninth house, causing many of you to undergo faith crises, international moves, and new academic programs; whatever the case is in your life, you’re likely feeling totally overwhelmed by the instability. It’s okay to admit you don’t have all the answers. Tonight, the sun ingresses into your tenth house, kicking off an exciting new season in your career and giving you a chance to pursue leadership positions.

Cancer

The moon in your twelfth house today might make you feel a little out of it, but you can easily channel this energy in a healthy way. Rather than taking an edible and a midday nap, paint something or curate the perfect Sunday playlist. You’ll feel like you need to self-isolate, and on the last day of the weekend, this is always a good idea anyway. Prepare for the week ahead by unburdening yourself in your journal or talking to your therapist. The Aquarius stellium currently weighing down upon your eighth house is bringing the darker themes of life, including your fears about death, to the surface in a major way. Don’t hide from these emotions; allow yourself to feel them so they do not control you. Late tonight, the sun moves into your ninth house, marking the beginning of a new chapter in your life filled with spiritual abundance, learning new things, and potential long-distance travel.

Leo

The moon in your eleventh house makes you feel extra sociable today, desiring the closeness and camaraderie of a large group. Call a friend, meet someone for coffee, or host an impromptu casual wine night at your apartment. This is the time to gather your tribe and keep them close, and you will happily take on the role of leader if no one else is active in the group chat. Sometimes people just need a little encouragement. Some of you have recently gone through a seriously destabilizing breakup, and others are secretly getting cold feet before your weddings. Relax: this is totally normal. With a stellium in your seventh house including destructive Pluto, it would be a bigger surprise if you weren’t experiencing some rocky relationship drama. Rely on your friends right now if your partner isn’t showing up in the way you need them to. Only the most fated relationships will survive this period; remember that sometimes the universe has a way of sorting these things out for you. Meanwhile, the sun enters your eighth house tonight, starting a season of solitude. All the more reason to end this one on a very social note.

Virgo

The moon in your tenth house puts you in the spotlight today, offering you both confidence and popularity. It’s a great day to take a prospective client for coffee or post on social media if one of your 2024 resolutions was to make it as an influencer. All eyes are on you and your career has the potential to level up, taking you places you didn’t expect. Use this energy constructively and strategically; you might feel a little scatter-brained, especially if you’ve got multiple projects on the go right now, but a good rule of thumb is to prioritize the most important tasks first and rest before tackling the smaller ones. You won’t feel content to sit still today, especially with the Aquarius stellium in your sixth house, but workaholism leads to burnout—and right now you need to be managing your health, mental and physical. Pluto’s disruptive energy has likely left quite a few of you laid up in bed sick, and the rest of you are probably starting to experience a wakeup call regarding the limitations of your body. You are aging, and this is a gift—but different stages of life come with different challenges, and in order to live a long and healthy life, you have to treat your body like a temple. Meanwhile, the sun is about to leap into your seventh house of relationships, bringing the potential for a very serious new love affair—or a surprise springtime engagement.

Libra

For most of the day, the moon is transiting your ninth house, placing greater importance on your personal religious and spiritual beliefs. Watch an interesting lecture on YouTube or listen to a podcast known for its erudite hosts; you’ll be in the right mental space to process big ideas today. You might also be studying hard for an exam if you’re currently in school, or perusing grad school programs if you feel like you should be. The Aquarius stellium in your fifth house is causing a lot of ruckus in your romantic and creative life, potentially causing you to feel a little helpless. If there’s simply no time in the day to indulge in simple pleasures because you’re so burnt out at work, it might be time to consider making one of your hobbies your career—or at least start a side hustle. It’s never been an easier time to monetize your passions. If your love life is a mess, consider whether your current approach is working. If you keep attracting the wrong type, try reflecting on what toxic patterns have been present in all of your past relationships. The sun moves into your sixth house tonight, so you’ll spend Pisces season working on improving yourself: your body, your health, and your work habits. Right now, you need to prioritize you.

Scorpio

The moon in your eighth house will cast a bit of a somber energy over your day, unless, of course, you enjoy wallowing a bit. Listen to some sad music and go wandering through a graveyard. This energy is quite familiar to you; it’s in the Scorpionic water you swim in. If you’re also worrying about your shared resources with a partner, commit to talking to them about it. No one likes to think about death and taxes, but they are both, unfortunately, part of life. It’s better to tackle the hard conversations head on, getting them out of the way before any bitterness has time to take root. The Aquarius stellium in your fourth house suggests a lot of uncertainty surrounding your home and family. For some of you, this will mean a literal death that takes you back to your hometown; for others, a big, life-changing move is on the horizon. The sun moves into your fifth house tonight, so you might spend the next several weeks purging your pain through art—or distracting yourself with a tantalizing short-lived affair.

Sagittarius

Whenever the moon is in your seventh house, your thoughts inevitably drift to romance—or the lack thereof. If you’re partnered, spend time with your person today and make the best of this quality time. If you’re single, you might re-commit to finding someone. Don’t turn down the blind date or offer to be set up. If someone offers you a Raya referral code, get on there. If nothing else, you might have some funny new dating stories to share with your friends. You won’t find it hard to view it as an adventure, because everything has the potential to be in your eyes. The Aquarius stellium in your third house is causing your community to change dramatically all around you; many of you are having conflicts with siblings and extended relatives, while others are moving away from family. Even if it’s just a short distance, it might feel like a big deal because of the closeness and familiarity you share. Trust that you’re making the right decision. Furthermore, the sun enters your fourth house tonight, presenting you with the golden opportunity to start looking for your dream home.

Capricorn

You’ll be in workaholic mode today with the moon in your sixth house, but even if you’re OOO, you can channel this energy into home organization or decluttering your closet. Hit up the gym for a good, solid workout and get those endorphins flowing. You have the power to make today highly productive. If you can, avoid making any major financial decisions or huge purchases right now, since the Aquarius stellium in your second house is destabilizing your entire relationship to money. You might suddenly have a lot more coming in, but be careful of “lifestyle creep”—you don’t want to start taking your luxurious dream life for granted and forget where you came from. This is an excellent time to invest in a financial advisor to help you learn how to navigate this changing landscape. Meanwhile, the sun enters your third house tonight, emphasizing the importance of communication over the next several weeks.

Aquarius

Kids and romance are on your mind today with the moon transiting your fifth house, but if you aren’t ready to do something about your baby fever quite yet, you can always spend time with beloved nieces and nephews. If you’ve been in the talking stage with someone new, this might be the day you get some clarity on where things are headed. If it’s meant to become more serious, that’s great; if not, that’s a bullet dodged. The Aquarius stellium in your first house has been famously putting you through it this weekend, and your sense of identity is likely feeling just a little unstable with so much transformation going on. If you feel tempted to change your appearance drastically, at least consult a friend beforehand. Don’t give yourself bangs or box-dye your hair at home without the approval of at least one friend who will be brutally honest with you. (Do you know any Aries? Give them a call.) The sun moves into your second house late tonight, indicating the beginning of a new season that will be hyper-focused on your possessions, money, and values.

Pisces

Stay home today and binge Netflix. The moon in your fourth house encourages self-indulgence and everything associated with cozy domesticity. You might also feel the sentimental tug towards your family, and if you have a good relationship with them, it’s a good idea to indulge this. Call your mom and have a good gossip—or cry—session. You’ll likely feel refreshed afterward and she’ll be glad you took the time to reach out. With the Aquarius stellium dauntingly lingering in your twelfth house, your sleep habits might be a bit disturbed; if you need to take a nap midway through the day, go for it. If you’ve been struggling with addiction in any way, your unhealthy and toxic behavior will be highlighted in a big way—and you’ll have to own up to it. Schedule an appointment with your therapist. The sun enters your first house late tonight, putting the focus on you and giving you the ideal chance for a glow-up this spring.
