Your daily horoscopes for Friday February 16, 2024

Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

If “FWB” is already part of your vocabulary, today’s transit of love planet Venus into liberated Aquarius and your friendship house will do wonders for your social life between now and March 11. With your ruler, bawdy Mars, already in this sign, the line between friends and benefits could get fuzzier than a baby chick. Cross it at your own peril—or passion! If you’re attached, these next three weeks are a great time for double dates, activity outings with friends and maybe even doing some high-minded work together, like volunteering at a community center or giving your inner politico some voice.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

Up, up and away! Your ruler, magnetic Venus, soars into innovative Aquarius and joins go-getter Mars in your professional tenth house until March 11. Better grab your crown, Bull, because you are officially appointed queen bee of the hive. This transit will ignite your imagination and schmoozability factor, so get some power lunches and pitch meetings on the books and see who nibbles. If you work in a creative field and want to stand out from the pack, think “edgy” instead of “same old same old.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

The world’s your pearl-bearing oyster today as charm magnet Venus twirls into pioneering Aquarius and your worldly ninth house, joining dance-partner Mars there until March 11. Single Twins should not limit your search parameters to “within 20 miles.” While of course you want local loving, this horizon-expanding transit invites you to think (and date) globally! If there’s someone in another part of the country—or planet—you can’t stop thinking about, reach out. Attached Twins, squeeze in adventures whenever and wherever you can. Make time for a baecation, even if it’s just for a night or two.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

Today, vixen Venus decamps to your seductive and intimate eighth house, giving you an intense case of the feels—and the “needs” as well! With lusty Mars already here, your physical desires will be doubly aroused between now and March 11 as the love planet reminds you just how good it is to connect on a deep, soulful level with another person. Couples might talk about officializing things (even) more; singles or newly dating lovebirds won’t be content with “maybe baby.” Move that needle!

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

Don’t let anyone tell you that fairy tales can’t come true because the next few weeks could bring some serious romantic highs! Vixen Venus vaults into Aquarius today, sambaing with dance-partner Mars through your seventh house of committed relationships until March 11. “Stay or go” issues can be tricky for your devoted sign, but really, what are you waffling over? Your heart knows what it wants, and your head can fill in the gaps of “is that doable?” Take that leap of faith—whether you’re going “all in” or letting go to make space for something more suitable.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

No more cruise control for interpersonal relationships. Today, vixen Venus vaults into Aquarius and joins energetic Mars in your sixth house of health, service and self-care until March 11. If you’ve been ruminating about your love life, this might help you get clarity around what makes for a substantial and balanced relationship. Whether you’re a longtime couple, single or just getting something off the ground, you may come to see how important honoring one’s commitments is—on both sides. And the better care you take of YOU, the more you’ll have to give to “other.” Talk about a win-win!

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

The pleasure principle may become your guiding philosophy starting today as flirty and fun-loving Venus (your galactic guardian) forays into Aquarius and joins robust Mars in your romance sector until March 11. Regardless of your status, your appetite for amour will increase as the love planet makes her presence known. (And that’s saying something for a Libra!) Brace yourself for some steamy moments and dramatic plot twists—which will keep you enraptured. “Old marrieds” can stoke the flames with a spicy getaway, sans family, kids and even friends!

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

Start bingeing HGTV shows, Scorpio. You might throw yourself into a decluttering and home-improvement project for the next three weeks as beautifying Venus glides through trailblazing Aquarius and joins make-it-happen Mars your domestic quarters. From now until March 11, your fantasy world will revolve around tidy bookshelves, rolling up your shirts and underwear and maintaining a spotless kitchen. And really, Scorpio, for your streamlined sign, having an organized—and beautiful—home and workspace is better (and cheaper) than therapy!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

As amicable Venus darts into Aquarius and joins dance partner Mars in your communicative third house, you’re quite the unabashed coquette. While you’ve probably made a sailor blush in your day, that skill is about to go next-level. Between now and March 11, flirting will be your favorite contact sport, and you could even snag an MVP! But while it’s easy for YOU to keep it casual, someone who falls for your charms might not be able to extricate themselves quite so easily. Think before you come on too strong. And if you’re the one who’s getting hooked, stay on guard for red flags, like tan lines in place of absentee wedding rings.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

Retail therapy alert! Granted, your luxury-loving sign should always keep an eye open for a high-end deal, but for the next three weeks, your desire to have the best of everything could spin into an obsession. Aesthetic Venus bolts into Aquarius and joins frenetic Mars in your materialistic second house, driving up desires and casting a potentially unrealistic haze around your finances. You might need to get a fiscally conservative friend to rein you in or schedule a meeting with a money pro to help you map out investment goals—and a savings plan to get you there!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

You won’t need to consult a mirror for confirmation that YOU are the hottest of them all. Starting today, charming, romantic Venus commences her annual tour through Aquarius and sprinkles you with her magic pixie dust. With lusty Mars already in your sign (from February 13 to March 22), your heat index began to rise to scorching temps earlier this week. With the love planets co-piloting through Aquarius until March 11, there will be a certain je ne sais quoi about you, and people will be irresistibly drawn to whatever you’re promoting. Don’t let the attention go to your head (especially if you’re single and people are swarming you). Be generous and kind, and DON’T play with anyone’s emotions.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 16

You know how much YOU give to your partnerships, Pisces, but if you’re not getting a healthy return, today’s arrival of Venus, planet of love and values, in Aquarius helps you evaluate things with greater objectivity. There’s a good chance, you’ve been fired up about this since Mars darted into Aquarius earlier this week. Now, with diplomatic Venus co-piloting through your twelfth house of introspection and healing until March 11, work on creating healthy internal boundaries instead of getting so enmeshed. That’s not to diminish your desire for closeness, but perhaps you can get your fix from more than just one person?
