Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday February 21, 2024

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

Give bad boys and drama queens a wide berth today, Ram. The Leo moon is filling your head with romantic notions, and its face-off with Venus and Mars in your unruly eleventh house can lure you into the orbit of troublemakers. You can appreciate their appeal from a distance, but don’t fall under their spell. Are they thrilling to hang out with? No doubt. But since you tend to fall fast and hard, you’re better off steering clear. Get together with your crew tonight and stick to the same rules. If someone loves to stir the pot, they don’t make the cut!

Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

With the heartfelt Leo moon opposing lovebirds Venus and Mars, sweet gestures will make all the difference in your professional life. Trying to score points with your boss? Show that you see her as a human being, not a stepping stone, by asking her opinion on something you’re working on. DMing a potential mentor? Be sure to mention what you admire about their work. Sincere flattery will get you everywhere.

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

Don’t be so literal, Twin! The changeable moon in your cognitive third house glides into an opposition with Venus and Mars in your enlightening ninth house today, opening the door to fascinating, open-ended discussions. You could plunge into a deep convo over major theoretical matters (the meaning of life, perhaps?), and you’ll get more out of it by relishing the quest rather than rushing to declare the answers. After work, drop by an educational event, like a lecture at your local library. You might bond with a smart someone to grab a drink with after.

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

When your ruler, the moon, in your resources zone goes toe-to-toe with Venus and Mars in your investment sector today, your attention shifts to money matters. Have you been living beyond your means or ignoring your stagnant bank balance? Here’s your chance to stop the bleeding and plot your way back into the black. There’s something strangely satisfying about dangling a carrot for yourself way off in the distance instead of giving in to the urge to splurge. Start saving now for the stunning bag you have your eye on and give it to yourself as a birthday present. It might even be on sale by then!

Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

The Leo moon edges into a stressful face-off with lovebirds Venus and Mars today, which might ratchet up the tension in relationships. The good news is you can get a clearer view of some of the most important connections in your life. While la luna is coaxing you to prioritize your own needs and feelings, Venus and Mars in your interpersonal realm want you to examine your role in a close bond. Instead of counting on others to make you feel more secure, take responsibility for your fulfillment, Lion. It’s more empowering that way!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

That sharp critical mind of yours cuts both ways, Virgo. Although you’re constantly striving to improve yourself, sometimes your standards are a little too high. When the moon in your subliminal sector opposes Venus and Mars in your analytical sixth house today, you’ll see your own self-sabotaging behaviors in a clear light. Maybe your fault-finding brain is working against you. Make a decision to give someone a real chance to prove their worth. Feel frustrated with someone close to you? Stop fuming and start talking. Asking for what you need is always more effective than expecting them to read your mind.

Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

Today’s dramatic Leo moon faces off with lovebirds Venus and Mars, which could set off all kinds of sparks for you, Libra. The twist? You won’t have much control over when and where they ignite. The moment you stop ruminating over a crush is when you get stopped by an attractive stranger with a line that’s actually not cringey. (And of course, you pull out your phone after that to see a missed call from your crush.) There’s also a chance that someone else who’s oozing charisma will send you swooning. Rather than riding the wave just for the thrill of it, try wading slowly into the water and seeing what happens.

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

With the Leo moon lighting up your determined tenth house, you’re focused on what you want to achieve. But today’s opposition between la luna and Venus and Mars in your foundational fourth house could leave you torn between crushing your professional goals and attending to matters closer to home. Devote a big chunk of your time to that work project, and then cut yourself off at a certain point to deal with the bullet points on your personal list. You could spend the evening fulfilling a family duty, fixing something in your house or tackling another domestic task you’ve been putting off. Feeling inundated? Reach out to a friend who can pitch in or lend moral support.

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

It might be necessary to get a little granular with your wide-ranging schemes if you’ve been painting in broad strokes. With the moon in your expansive ninth house opposing Venus and Mars in your communicative third, stop and ask yourself if a smart ten-year-old could get the gist of what you’re pitching. Since the ninth house rules long-distance situations, scan the horizon for opportunities rather than assuming they’ll pop up close to home. And be proactive. DM a faraway influencer you want to collaborate with. You can never predict who will be pumped about your genius plans.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

You’re usually a cool cucumber, but with a dramatic Leo moon activating your intense eighth house, close encounters could turn volatile. Fortunately, personable Venus and Mars are gliding through your grounded second house, and their opposition to the moon could save you from blowing your stack. Pull yourself back from the brink of coming on too strong and laying down the law. If someone doesn’t seem game, let them off the hook. You don’t want a collaborator who feels manipulated into working with you. Make room for one who’d jump at the chance.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

Today’s face-to-face between the Leo moon in your partnership realm and lovebirds Venus and Mars in your sign can increase the magnetic appeal of someone quite different. Don’t get all up in your head about this! If you’re single and find yourself falling for a person you wouldn’t expect to be drawn to, just go with it. Whether you’re attracted to their online charisma or in-person wit, let your chemistry develop instead of looking too far down the road. Admit it: Not knowing exactly what the future holds is exciting!

Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday February 21

Do your level best to stay centered today, Pisces. With an opposition between the romantic Leo moon and Venus and Mars in your dreamy twelfth house, you could get lost in fantasyland. If you’re unattached, sound judgment could go straight out the window when captivating players turn on the charm. Maintain a healthy amount of skepticism during this rose-colored-glasses transit so you don’t see only what you want to see. Enjoy a brief daydream, then return to planet Earth and channel the powers of your imagination into a creative project.
