Your daily horoscopes for Thursday February 29, 2024

Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

Are those “random coincidences” actually meaningful twists of fate? Today’s harmony between the moon in your mysterious eighth house and the Sun in your intuitive twelfth house invites you to give the universe a chance to work its magic on you. Maybe you’ll daydream about someone who winds up texting you a few hours later. Or you’ll read a rave review of a book and then come across it in the window of your favorite used bookstore. Follow the signs and ask yourself where they’re trying to lead you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

Fret not if you don’t feel completely self-sufficient today. As the Sun and moon link arms in your people houses, you’re supposed to connect with the support you need. Consult someone you know who has experience in an area you’re struggling with—and stop worrying that they’ll judge you for not having this all figured out. If they can give you time- and money-saving pointers, it’s worth putting your pride to the side. You might even decide to try a different route than the one you’ve been on.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

You’ll wake up ready to hit the ground running thanks to a supportive Sun-moon trine in your professional zones. What you can’t afford to do? Scatter your energy on frivolous pursuits today or spend hours on additional research. It’s time to be proactive, Gemini, and that means making a clear decision and moving in one direction. If you’re ready to make some vertical moves, this is a great day to apply for a job that aligns with your long-term goals or to craft a confident social media post about your latest project. Whatever you do, make it count!

Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

PSA to caretaking Cancers: Twisting yourself into a pretzel to accommodate others doesn’t serve anyone—least of all YOU! As the moon in your fifth house of personal joy gels with the Pisces Sun in your independent ninth house, the planets are sending you a clear message. Focus on your own personal fulfillment first, and the rest will follow. You may literally need to ignore a few texts as you hum along on a creative assignment or take an hour to shop a 40 percent off boot sale. Whatever it takes to curb your instinct to put everyone else before yourself!

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

You are definitely in “a mood” today, Leo, as the moon in your sensitive fourth house tethers itself to the Pisces Sun in your depth sector today. Instead of brushing your feelings aside to deal with something “more important,” plunge into the emotion ocean. What’s going on inside of you is not going to vanish into thin air, but it could be fodder for epiphanies—including one you later share with friends who are struggling through the same pain. If you’re stuck, throw yourself a lifeline and call someone who knows how to pull you up to the surface. You don’t have to (and probably shouldn’t) figure this one out alone.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

As the Scorpio moon spins into a nurturing water trine with the Pisces Sun today, don’t be surprised if half your contact list reaches out to “catch up.” There probably aren’t enough hours in the day (or the month!) to meet everyone for coffee individually, so cue the group hang. If you can pull something off tonight, nothing fancy is required. Host a potluck movie night at your place or post up at your favorite dive bar and tell everyone when you’ll be there.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

If the latest thing you’ve trying to balance is your books, Libra, then you’ll be happy to hear about today’s starcast. With the Sun and moon holding a productive summit in your money and efficiency houses, you have a chance to get things back on track. Take a methodical approach, zeroing in on details and aiming to become more organized. Maybe you need to start setting aside more for an upcoming expense. Or switch credit cards to get a lower interest rate and better perks. Prioritize the most urgent tasks, and work your way down the list one by one.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

With today’s sync-up of the self-authorized Scorpio moon and the Pisces Sun in your fifth house of stardom, the only glow you need to focus on is YOURS. Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, but stay away from the slippery slope of obsessing over someone else getting their shine on. If you have to put blinders on to keep jealousy at bay, so be it. But you might try this trick instead: Seek out inspiration in what your peers, influencers, mentors and friends are doing. Then use it as a springboard to confidently do your thing!

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

Even the most adventure-loving Sagittarius gets a pass to chill under today’s skies. The Scorpio moon has retreated into your dreamy twelfth house and is cuddling up with the Pisces Sun in your fourth house of comfort. Give in to the temptation to lie low and enjoy a mellow day. Trying to crush anything under this numinous vibe might leave your spirit in worse shape than your goals. Leave those type-A tasks for another day and refill your cup by drinking in some inspiration. And if you can do that in the comfort of your own home base, all the better!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

As the Scorpio moon clicks with the Pisces Sun in your social realms today, people can be your fast-access pass to virtually anything you want. Under this free-flowing vibe, it’s easy to meet interesting and well-connected folks who have a bounty to share. And if you have something to promote, don’t be shy about dropping it into conversation. What you want to avoid, however, is coming across as transactional. If a synergy is sparked, plan to meet up another time to further discuss it. A little pacing goes a long way.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

Have you been waiting (and waiting) for a day when you could put everything else aside and spend your time and energy on a potentially lucrative pet project? That day may never come, but could you spare a few hours? With today’s ambition-boosting trine of the Sun and moon, any window you find would be well worth it. Set yourself up for success to begin with by minimizing distractions like social media and your phone. If other work starts to take you on a tangent, jot down a quick to-do list for that project so you can pick it up later.

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday February 29

The Scorpio moon in your expansion zone trines the Pisces Sun today, inviting you to go in search of unfamiliar experiences—and maybe even a change of scenery if you can pull that off. Can you clock out for a spontaneous getaway? Do it! Not realistic? Then switch things up by grabbing coffee with a new colleague who just moved to town, or stream an educational lecture that intrigues you or try a different kind of cuisine for lunch. If it allows you to break out of your routine and learn something new, it’s a go. Especially if it inspires you and gets your creative juices flowing.
