Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday February 9

No one crushes life alone, not even a self-reliant Ram, and today, the Aquarius new moon offers some eye-opening reminders. With this fresh-start energy firing up your eleventh house of teamwork and technology, look around and see who’s pulling their weight and lending inspiration to the squad—and who’s dragging others down with their toxic attitude?

You shoot, you score! Today, the only Aquarius new moon of the year fires up your tenth house of professional ambitions and could send you on an accelerated trajectory to the top of the food chain. Tonight is Lunar New Year’s Eve—and it’s Wood Dragon time—so you’ll be ready to soar to new heights. That’s all well and good, but what, exactly, are you aiming for? You won’t be able to measure success if you’re not clear on your goals and desired compensation.

If you’ve been feeling uninspired, today’s new moon in Aquarius and your curious third house can revive your spirits. You can bust out of any rut by dabbling with a new DIY project, teaching yourself something from a YouTube video or even signing up for a class. This new moon fires up your social life—and in experimental Aquarius, you could find your soul squad by dabbling in different spaces, both IRL and virtually.

Today, the Aquarius new moon stokes your second house of money and security, putting you on a mission to increase your bottom line.

Start putting out the word about whatever you’re seeking: freelance opportunities, a new gig, investment advice. You’re ready to step up to the next level of prosperity, and as a future-oriented Capricorn, you are innately strategic! Fortunately, you’ll get an extra dose of magic for any money moves starting tonight—Lunar NYE—when the magic-making Wood Dragon takes command for the rest of 2024.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday February 9

Ready, set, update your operating system! The year’s only new moon in Aquarius spreads some major manifesting seeds that will sprout over the coming six months. But don’t underestimate the power of this fresh-start energy, especially since tonight is Lunar New Year’s Eve, and the powerful Wood Dragon begins to soar. While you might only be sowing seedlings today, by the Aquarius full moon on August 19, they could be mighty beanstalks. Over the next two weeks, refine your master plan, revising as necessary. But then be ready to hit the ground running as you pursue this grandiose dream.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday February 9

Focus, Pisces! You’ve been barreling ahead at a way-too-manic pace lately, and today’s Aquarius new moon in your restorative twelfth house will come as blessed relief. You prefer to mull ideas and really FEEL your way to an answer, and you’ll finally get that chance over the coming two weeks. While you’re meditating, journaling or taking long, bundled-up walks, consider whether it’s also time to let something or someone go. That’s the first step before the deep healing process can begin in earnest. Think of it as “toughening up your scales,” which is an appropriate metaphor as tonight’s celebration of Lunar NYE ushers in the Year of the Wood Dragon. You’ll be in demand, making it essential for you to learn when to say yes and when to say no, thank you.
