Your daily horoscopes for Friday February 23, 2024

Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

The creative right side of your brain takes command today as mindful Mercury zips into Pisces and hovers there until March 9. With your fantasy-fueled twelfth house switched on like a lighthouse for the next couple weeks, your imagination is bound to kick in and will overflow with creative musings, divine downloads and messages from your dreams. Instead of letting your inner critic dissect all of the above, tune out the world with activities that put you in touch with your spirit and intuition. Meditate, take a walk near water or write in your journal.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Shift your attention away from pursuing your goals and focus on the trusted circle of people who love you for the next few weeks. As outgoing Mercury moves into Pisces and your collaboration court until March 9, you’ll be busy connecting with others who share your interests and aims. Don’t worry about signing a formal agreement at the outset. Get the ball rolling by exploring synergy over lunch or Zoom. And post with care! Whatever you share on social is apt to attract eyeballs during this Mercury cycle.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Big goals will be front and center starting today as your ruling planet, cerebral Mercury, rises into Pisces and your career zone until March 9. As you zero in on the next steps on the ladder of success, stack the odds in your favor by connecting with pro-level people who can mentor you and offer expert insights. Your dualistic sign will reap rewards when you shift to a much more singular focus. Keep your eyes on THE prize, not several of them—and watch how high you soar in the next couple of weeks!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Switch to a wide-angle lens today as mental Mercury exits your obsessive eighth house and segues into limitless Pisces and your expansive ninth. It may take your eyes a minute to adjust to the bright light of this visionary realm. Now you can stop fixating on what people will think of that idea you’re so passionate about and start exploring the possibilities of manifesting it. Don’t play it too safe between now and March 9, Crab. You’re meant to take chances that you’ll learn from!

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

You may think you know exactly what lights your fire, Leo, but there’s always more to discover—and what a fun assignment! As investigative Mercury slips into Pisces and your sultry eighth house today, you have until March 9 to embark on this sexy discovery mission. Sharing your fantasies is a great place to start, but first you have to be okay with making yourself vulnerable. Good timing and a chill atmosphere will make all the difference. Frame the conversation as an enjoyable, mutual exploration rather than a unilateral critique so you don’t kill the mood.

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

Maybe it feels like you can read the VIPs in your circle like a book, but guess again, Virgo. They’re just as complex as you are…meaning there’s way more to discover. With your ruler, inquisitive Mercury, zinging into Pisces and your interpersonal seventh house until March 9, treat each person you know like a fascinating stranger. What would you want to know if you were meeting them for the first time at a dinner party? Instead of assuming you’ve heard all their stories, consider a corner of their life that you’re less familiar with and ask them to tell you more about it.

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

As mindful Mercury pulls into Pisces and your fastidious sixth house today, no detail will escape your discerning gaze between now and March 9. Start by handling admin tasks that have been piling up. Make medical appointments, file papers, get a jump on your taxes and organize your workspace. Then give your body some love. With sociable Mercury in the mix, you can recruit a wellness buddy who will hold you accountable (and vice versa). Work out together, share healthy recipes and check in to compare your progress.

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

Live a little, would ya, Scorpio? Today, social butterfly Mercury sails into Pisces, lighting a fire in your fifth house of pleasure, passion and creativity. This expressive, extroverted circuit, which lasts until March 9, inspires you to wear your heart on your sleeve and let people fall all the way in love with you. No need to huddle with your inner circle only. Challenge yourself to get out to social events that pique your curiosity. Film festival? Open mic night? Be a “yes” to anything that sounds remotely intriguing. And with your glamour zone illuminated, you’ll be happy to have an excuse to make the style bloggers start snapping.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Don’t be surprised if you start to feel more introspective today as mental Mercury dips into Pisces and your sensitive fourth house. Between now and March 9, you might notice you’re pulling away from people who feel “judgy” or “unsafe” while simultaneously gravitating toward familiar faces and quiet spaces. Leave room in your calendar for peaceful downtime so you can tune in to your rich imagination—the realm that Pisces rules. What’s YOUR truth, Archer? The answer lies within, so make sure you have enough quiet, meditative space to be able to hear it.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Lift your nose from the grindstone—and lift any gag orders you’ve placed on yourself while you’re at it. Messenger Mercury sails into Pisces today, revving up your communication corner until March 9. This sociable cycle will bring eye-opening discussions, kismet-kissed encounters and interesting opportunities. Don’t waste time deconstructing your experiences; let your curiosity lead the way into more and more of them. And keep an open mind. The more possibilities you allow in, the more exciting options you’ll have!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Can you monetize that, Aquarius? That question will be top of mind starting today as savvy Mercury buzzes through Pisces and your fiscal zone. Between now and March 9, you’ll benefit from thinking strategically in an effort to boost your bottom line. You might develop a new income stream or pitch a lucrative freelance gig. If your finances are crying out for a better system, download apps that will help you budget, save, plan and handle transactions.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 23

Listen to you, Pisces! Everyone will be doing just that starting today as silver-tongued Mercury marches into your sign for three weeks. You’ll be blessed with the gift of gab until March 9, so don’t be surprised if total strangers slide into your DMs or start talking to you while you’re waiting for your taco order. This is also the perfect time to refresh your branding. Whether you home in on your social profiles or your clothes, the idea is to project the vibe that you’re feeling in 2024.
