Your daily horoscopes for Saturday February 28, 2026
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Your fast and furious sign can’t always find the off switch, but hitting your limit might actually be a good thing this Saturday. As convivial Venus gets snared by backward-spinning Mercury in your internally focused twelfth house, you may finally need to put your pedicured foot down—with yourself if nothing else. You’ve got enough on your plate without heaping more obligations onto it. There’s wisdom in setting boundaries, Ram. Remaining aware of your limits might be easier said that done on Sunday, when the moon sweeps into “more is more” Leo. This maximizing effect puts stars in your eyes, so know that you won’t have the best impulse control in the face of shiny things (and shiny people). Find ways to get your fix. For example, if you’re on a budget, invite friends over to make brunch at home. Opt for thrifting—or a clothing swap—instead of the pricey boutiques.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
A thought: Before you invest too much energy in new acquaintances, why not harness the best you’ve got for your loyal crew? On Saturday, as amicable Venus (your ruler) bangs into a backward-spinning Mercury in your friendship zone, you’re served a reminder that there’s only so much of you to go around. Wherever you send your attention is where your energy goes. So why not channel your best self toward people who always bring an ROI? Given how easy it is to exhaust yourself under today’s skies, that’s probably the soundest strategy. Sunday’s moon in Leo gives you carte blanche to putter around your lair or just laze around all day like a Regency-era royal. Don’t be surprised if the muse raps on the window or opens the door to a creative project that consumes you all day. Focus on making art for art’s sake instead of ending up with a “perfect” final outcome. The joy is in the process today!
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Don’t quit five minutes before the miracle happens, Gemini—or even five seconds! You might struggle to get your creative juices flowing this Saturday, but it’s a momentary loss of motivation, which you can blame on a collision between Mercury retrograde (your ruler) and Venus. If you’re short on inspiration, turn yourself into a sponge for other people’s artistic compositions. After meandering through a museum or enjoying “a night at the theatah,” the gears will start turning again. On Sunday, a playful productivity partner can help you whiz through any weekend tasks you’ve put off. Invite a chatty friend along on your errand runs and bake in room for a few spontaneous detours. Should you drive by an antique mall or farmer’s market along the way, you owe it to yourself to stop. Plus, with the moon in Leo all day, there’s no telling what luxe treasures your keen eyes will radar in on.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Expansion is on your mind this Saturday, whether you do it in the literal sense or the metaphoric. With imaginative Venus aligned with a backward-spinning Mercury in your ninth house of journeys, adventure and expansion, your deep curiosity could lead you on a voyage of discovery. You may not be able to hop a plane, but you CAN take a horizons-expanding webinar or drop in on a fascinating lecture. At the very least, have a video catch-up call with a distant friend! And if you do jet off, plan carefully to avoid Mercury retrograde hiccups. A sensual Sunday is in store as the moon glides through Leo and your second house of comfortable luxury. Meet a favorite friend or a date for brunch—ideally somewhere that serves a more elevated fare. Book a massage or hang out at home and read a novel in the tub while doing an indulgent skin care routine. Know that you’ll be feeling quite tactile all day, which could make anything from crafting to cuddling an enhanced experience.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Before you say yes to the first tempting invite that comes your way this Saturday, stop and really think it through. Sure, it sounds like fun, but is that really the best use of your time and energy? As convivial Venus gets snared by Mercury retrograde in your intense and soulful eighth house, you might develop a new metric for assessing how to best utilize your “me time.” Is there someone or something even more deserving of your attention? That’s the thing to do! The self-sovereign energy only grows stronger on Sunday when the moon sweeps through Leo and commands you to put yourself first. This isn’t narcissistic, Leo, it’s actually in the best interest of everyone around you that your tanks be filled. That said, don’t expect others to be your on-demand “charging station.” Venture out on your own if your favorite playmates aren’t available on your timeline. You’ll enjoy your own company greatly.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Your normal farsightedness may fail you on Saturday as disruptive Mercury retrograde drops a veil over Venus in your partner relationship realm, driving you to distraction! In your heart of hearts, you know what you want, but under this “all that glitters” mashup, you might be blinded by something shiny and new. There’s no right or wrong here, Virgo—but before you act, consider whether this might possibly derail you from important relationship goals. No? Then the only question is, why NOT? Keep boundaries and guardrails in place on Sunday, though, as the Leo moon drifts into your gullible twelfth house. The power of fantasy is far stronger than your better judgment today, which could put you in a compromised situation. Hang close with trusted, supportive allies. And when they flash a caution light about one of your edgy ideas, listen! They aren’t trying to spoil your fun, Virgo, they’re helping you save face.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Been pushing yourself a little too hard lately, Libra? Saturday’s planetary formation gives you cosmic permission to beg off on a few non-obligatory tasks and reshuffle your priority list so YOU float to the top. As your ruler, serene Venus, merges with Mercury retrograde in your self-care sector, you might get some physical hints that you’re taking your body for granted. Pause for a cause: your own sanity and stress reduction! Sunday’s moon in Leo invites you to “get metaphysical” with your favorite high-vibe crowd. Is there a sound bath or sauna meditation you could attend? Maybe you drop by a New Age bookstore that has an in-house tarot reader or break out the cards over brunch with friends and all do a pull for each other. It’s important to remember that there’s something beyond the 3D world to tap into, especially when answers aren’t appearing immediately before you.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
It’ll be easy to get swept up in a flirtatious frenzy with friends and potential dates this Saturday, but keep your eyes wide open! A hazy hookup of seductive Venus and Mercury retrograde in your romance zone could limit your field of vision. That sweet-talking partygoer or officious VIP who seems SO impressed with you might have a selfish agenda. You don’t have to don your skeptical spectacles; just use your well-honed intuition to see people for who they really are. Sunday calls for strategical socializing as the Leo moon holds court in your prestigious tenth house. We’re not suggesting snobbery, Scorpio, but if you want to spend time with people who share your level of ambition, you’ll be in good company. Someone greener than you might be looking for a mentor and you may get the hit that you should nobly oblige. What goes around comes around and your generosity could attract someone higher on the ladder who wants to do the same for you.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Blurt alert! Keep your private feelings to yourself on Saturday, Sagittarius. (That’s why they’re called “private.”) You might feel comfortable enough with a colleague or new friend to share something deeply personal, but a dicey merger of guileless Venus an Mercury retrograde urges restraint. It’ll be easy to veer into oversharing territory, and leaking too much intel to an inappropriate party will ultimately be awkward for both of you. Need to vent? Call a long-standing friend or find someone who is far enough from the situation to be 100 percent neutral. Sunday’s Leo moon invites the opposite energy! At last, you can let your hair down and run wild and free, as long as you DO heed the Mercury retrograde warning flags about trusting the RIGHT people only. And by “right” we mean folks who have already earned their loyalty points with you. Get out and explore some fresh scenery together: hiking, snowshoeing or anything outdoorsy will be restorative.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
It’ll be easy to get overwhelmed by the barrage of brilliant ideas that flood your mind this Saturday, so have a strategy mapped out ahead of time. With visionary Venus getting snared by retrograde Mercury in your house of ideas and communication, you probably don’t have a clear enough perspective to know which notions are actually doable. And you definitely don’t want to work on anything that needs to be “final.” Use the day to envision and invent, but save the grind work for another day. Sunday’s Leo moon puts your sharp focus on one person, place or thing—and yes, Capricorn, you might get a little obsessive about whatever it is you’re hoping to accomplish. Maybe it’s a long overdue conversation, a cleanup mission or hunting down the perfect sconce to light your dining area. Build in some flexibility if you’re dealing with another human. People won’t take kindly to a commanding or demanding attitude.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Regroup! If you’ve been juggling a dozen balls and know you’re about to drop ALL of them—hit pause! There are better, less stressful ways to handle this, Aquarius. Today, as serene Venus bangs into Mercury retrograde, you get a chance to stop the forward motion and reflect on where you’ve landed. In reverse, Mercury can help you RE-think the situation from a different perspective. Could you outsource certain aspects of the job? That alone could take a huge weight off your mind. Helpful people come out of the woodwork on Sunday, some who might even be mentor-grade advisors. With the moon in Leo, the spirit of magnanimity is in the air, and you may feel energized enough to step in to support someone who could use some words of wisdom. Pairing up is the shortcut to productivity all day, so see who’s got a complementary skillset and invite them to try out the buddy system with you.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday February 28
Yes, Pisces, there really is such a thing as too much compassion. And you may bang up against its outer limits today as generous Venus in your sign merges with Mercury retrograde. This could trigger an overload of generosity—which doesn’t SOUND like a bad thing, but when you allow someone to mope and complain (ad infinitum), you’re enabling their dependent behavior. Unless you’re actually their therapist, end the “session” and let them know you have full confidence in their ability to figure this out on their own. Sunday’s Leo moon rolls out the red carpet to self-care. Whether that leads you to the day spa or your cabinet full of home treatments, you’re invited to treat your body like the royal temple it is. Simple stretching can get your kinetic energy flowing and might inspire you to meet a friend for 3PM yoga or a vegan brunch—or both!
