Your daily horoscopes for Friday March 1, 2024

Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

How much soul-bonding communion can you handle, Aries? With today’s moon in Scorpio, you’ll crave intensity. But as la luna locks into a testy square with Venus in liberated Aquarius, too much intimacy could send you running for the hills. Since most people don’t take kindly to the pursuer-distancer dance, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Limit your interactions to a set amount of time—and when it’s time to go, don’t linger!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

Taurus plans, Cupid laughs? Practical Bulls can be rigid romantics who want love to unfold on a predetermined timeline. But as you’ve likely learned (more than once), every relationship moves according to its own rhythm. Under today’s eye-opening clash between the moon and Venus, your best attempts at controlling love may backfire. And if you don’t rein that in, you could push away the very person you want to draw close. If you’re feeling anxious, hit the gym, meditate, call a friend—anything to distract yourself from sending that anxious text.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but that’s not going to stop a Gemini from “wondering” today. Trouble is, your imagination could veer off the rails under today’s tricky moon-Venus square. Those “what if” scenarios COULD happen, yes, but there’s no guarantee they will. Should you catch yourself spiraling, message the most levelheaded friend in your contacts. You may indeed have some direct questions that need to be answered. But before you set up any meetings, get yourself into a calm and centered place.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

Oh, the irony! When you finally let yourself care about something, it can set off alarm bells. What if you love it then lose it? Be warned that today’s moon-Venus square could churn up this type of catastrophic thinking. Your mission, Cancer? Do not retreat from your desires! Loss can never be completely averted. But life is richer when you follow your heart—and enjoy what shows up for as long as it’s meant to last.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

You’ll catch more flies with a purr than a roar under today’s testy moon-Venus square. Although people will easily provoke your ferocity, a little emotional regulation goes a long, long way. Catch yourself before you rake anyone over the coals. Rather than assume people should “just know” what you want, see what happens if you sweetly spell out your desires. And be sure to pose them as a request, not a demand!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

Haste makes waste today, Virgo, so follow the pace of your intuition—and do your best to NOT succumb to pressure to “hurry it along.” As the incisive Scorpio moon spins into a tricky square with decadent Venus, it’s almost too easy to overlook essential details. But you know better than most signs that “the little things” aren’t always insignificant. Flag anything that feels like it needs a second (or third) look, and don’t stop digging until you can confirm its accuracy.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

You’re an incorrigible romantic, Libra, and that’s putting it mildly. But as the moon locks horns with your ruler, dreamy Venus, watch out for romanticizing. Your desire to feel passion could spin you so far from reality that you lose sight of your own compass. The roller-coaster ride is thrilling, but you know the drill. Those giddy highs are generally followed by a crash. See if you can get your hands back on the wheel today—and maybe the emergency brake!

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

News alert, Scorpio: Your needs are important, too! With the moon drifting through your sign, you may become deeply aware of all the places where you’ve compromised a little TOO much of yourself. But that’s no excuse for unleashing your stinger. With tender Venus squaring the moon, extend the benefit of the doubt to loved ones who have enjoyed your generosity. Since you offered it up, you can’t blame them for accepting. Now for the real challenge: Asking THEM for support in return. You can do it!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

If it feels like a friendship is slipping from your grasp, there’s only one thing to do: Let go! Although that may feel counterintuitive, space is needed for this to heal. With the Scorpio moon in your twelfth house of surrender squaring people-pleaser Venus, even the most noble gesture of reparation could be perceived as “pressure” or, worse, desperation. Step back and hold your own today, Archer. When you respect your value, others are quick to remember it, too.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

How much do you REALLY have in common with the people in your daily life? Surface connections just won’t cut it when the deep-diving Scorpio moon lands in your community corner and squares Venus in your values zone. It may feel like “poking the bear” to bring up certain topics. But if these issues matter to you, Capricorn, they’re worth getting out on the table. Don’t look for instant consensus. Instead, view this as step one of a fascinating discovery process.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

You’re so close to hitting your goal that you can taste the sweet success. But as the driven Scorpio moon gets checked by seductive Venus in Aquarius, don’t force your way to the finish line! The victory will be a hollow one if you alienate people whose support is essential to your next steps. Better you should come in second or third but with key relationships intact. Remember: Life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday March 1

Be on high alert for your people-pleasing tendencies, which could make an unceremonious appearance under today’s conflict-avoidant moon-Venus square. It may seem easier to keep it “all love” than to point out someone’s mistakes. But the feel-good vibes could devolve into resentment fast if you don’t communicate honestly. Pro tip: Point out the action that needs correcting (e.g., “You left the front door unlocked”) but leave OUT any character judgments (as in, “You clearly don’t care about our safety”).
