Your daily horoscopes for Monday February 19, 2024

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

Take a deep breath, Aries, because you’re easily triggered today. Not only does the moon hover in moody Cancer and your emotionally sensitive fourth house, but it’s doing an awkward dance with the personal planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Part of you wants to stand up for your own interests while loved ones are vying for your attention. Yet in the midst of being nagged and dragged, you don’t exactly feel like baking chocolate chip cookies and being sympathetic. The challenge is to hold your ground without biting off anyone’s head in the process. Before you let the searing insults fly, think twice—you’ll regret lashing out later on.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Choose your words carefully, Taurus: Are you making requests or demands? Power struggles can erupt quickly today as the moon in sensitive Cancer and your third house of communication gets triggered by Mercury, Venus and Mars in your professional tenth house. You’re in danger of bulldozing people, so make sure that you leave room for others to weigh in and respond. By the same token, steer clear of people who are forever spinning sob stories. When you’re on a mission, as you are today, your tolerance for complainers is paper-thin.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Easy with the fact-checking, Gemini. While you may need to correct some data, you could come across as a know-it-all, thanks to a complex angle (a quincunx) forming between the moon in hesitant Cancer and Mercury, Venus and Mars in Aquarius and your outspoken ninth house. If you only focus on people’s errors, your advice could feel like a below-the-belt punch. If your personal values are at odds with members of a beloved alliance, you may need to rethink your affiliation. But don’t do anything rash. Avoid conflict, if you can, by heading out for a heart-pumping run or an enlivening, brisk walk. Channel the energy physically first…then deal with your divergent opinions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

With the moon in Cancer activating your first house of self and identity, you desire freedom to follow your bliss. The trouble is, la luna gets clipped by the personal planets Mercury, Venus and Mars, who are all in Aquarius and your eighth house of binding relationships. You just want to do your own thing, yet you can’t totally blow off your loved ones. Before this devolves into a vicious power struggle, have a conversation that includes sharing your needs instead of simply trying to intuit theirs then shapeshift to accommodate. You want to keep your people happy, but today, there’s no doing THAT at your own expense.

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Shaken and stirred? Today, you could feel a bit off center as the moon in Cancer, your twelfth house of compassion and healing, forms a tricky angle to Mercury, Venus and Mars in Aquarius and your relationship zone. If you’re asked for advice, you could be brutally honest, having zero tolerance for that person who always steps in the same (obvious) potholes. Tell it like it is, Leo, but only if you’re asked—and if you’re ready to deal with any backlash from the other party. If you can’t find any compassion, it’s better to honestly tell this person that you’re not up for playing life coach today.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Friendship friction? Today, the moon in Cancer, your eleventh house of platonic connections, forms a challenging angle to Mercury, Venus and Mars in your no-nonsense sixth house, making you feel especially on guard. Perhaps a pal offers unsolicited feedback about your love life or something else important to you, creating an awkward tension. It might be that your “amour du jour” doesn’t gel with your regular circle of peeps. Be patient, Virgo, and give this situation time. When your friends see that you’re doing fine, they’ll calm down and will probably come around. Don’t force an introduction, either—your intimate relationship is YOUR business.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Sometimes even the best-laid plans go awry. Today’s stars test your mettle as the moon in Cancer, your tenth house of structure, gets in an awkward dance with Mercury, Venus and Mars in Aquarius and your fifth house of drama. Perhaps you’re coasting along, thinking that you have one particular five- or ten-year plan in place—a move, a promotion, a family—only to learn that your S.O. or a coworker has a differing opinion. There’s a strong sense that you simply have to figure it out TODAY. Ease up on your impatient tendencies. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you won’t sort this out before sundown, Libra.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

You’re eager to spread your wings today as the Cancer moon sends warm-fuzzy vibes to your ninth house of global expansion. Yet as venturesome as you’re feeling, little details and tasks could harsh your wanderlust buzz thanks to some awkward input from Mercury, Venus and Mars. Maybe you have to think of your budget or who will take care of your dog while you’re away or spending late nights at the lab or office. There’s a solution, Scorpio, but you won’t find it by obsessing. Let go of the need to analyze and control. The universe will, one way or another, fill in the blanks—especially if you put out a call for support. Seek win-win solutions, and watch the serendipities roll in (e.g., a friend visiting from out-of-town can stay at your place while you travel, and take care of your dog,too).

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Manage your stress levels today as the moon in Cancer, your prickly, possessive eighth house, forms a tricky, tension-inducing angle to the personal planets Mercury, Venus and Mars, who are huddled in your frenetic third house. While you could do without the drama, you may also feel completely gripped by your emotions, caught up in a reactive loop that’s hard to break. Maybe a partner has stirred up your deepest hang-up or wound. Or perhaps you feel torn between telling it like it is and being sensitive to a loved one’s feelings. Don’t go firing off insults, Archer. Watch your temper, and do your best not to take things so personally today.

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

You may find it hard to relax today as the moon in Cancer, your seventh house of one-on-one relationships, gets poked by Mercury, Venus and Mars, who are all in Aquarius and your hypervigilant eighth house. You could be uncharacteristically impulsive, even prone to accidents because you’re less likely to watch your step. Stay aware, Capricorn and leave your phone in your bag while you’re walking and driving. A partnership could be the source of conflict, too. Maybe you’re impatient with your S.O. or an indecisive colleague—you just want the puzzle pieces to fall in place NOW. Channel your aggressive energy into a heart-pumping workout—and bonus points if you can bring your honey along with you.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Break the fixation chain, Aquarius. Today’s moon in your administrative sixth house could find you stuck in an obsessive thought loop or overly stimulated by worries about how to pay the bills or handle a heavy workload. Whatever the case, you’re likely to feel the signs of stress in your body. Before you lash out at anyone in your midst, release any errant aggression at the gym. Think of the emotional tightness as energy that needs to be massaged out of you. Hey, that’s as good an excuse as any for a proper session at the spa. With Mercury, Venus and Mars—the personal planets—chiming in from YOUR sign, permission to take care of yourself is not only granted but ordered!

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 19

Tension is in the air today, thanks to the moon in Cancer and your dramatic fifth house getting nudged by Mercury, Venus and Mars in your sacrificial twelfth. Friction with a loved one could tip the scales of your hard-won stability. Perhaps there’s a difference of opinion and values or you have a difficult choice to make, Pisces. Instead of channeling frustration onto your S.O. or a close friend, go talk to someone who can listen to you objectively. You need to let the simmering emotions cool instead of pouring fuel on the fire. But that won’t be easy to do if you’re inches away from the offending party.
