Your daily horoscopes for Monday February 23, 2026
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Is your generosity actually coming from a selfless place, Aries? No one wants to admit that they have a hidden agenda, but we’re all human. Take a long hard look at your motivation and ask yourself whether you’re unconsciously doing things like picking up the tab to keep the upper hand. As the moon gets checked by competitive Mars, reflect on where you might be throwing your weight around. If your largest investments of time and dollars aren’t creating the sense of parity and partnership that you desire, some changes could be in order.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Take control, Taurus, before things spiral out any further.
You’ve got a crystal-clear vision of how a situation should be handled,
and you could easily water it down by requesting everyone’s feedback.
Typically you prefer a more thoughtful approach, but under today’s
moon-Mars clash, bureaucracy could put the brakes on progress. Don’t
second-guess your vision. Present your action plan with confidence and
trust that others will get on board.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Relationships
SHOULD be a two-way street, but is the traffic flowing in only one
direction? If you notice an imbalance in a friendship or a romance, do
what you can to restore the equilibrium. You may feel restricted in
expressing your own opinion, or perhaps you sense that someone is going
along with your plan but resenting you every step of the way. Use your
sense of humor to lighten the vibe, but don’t sidestep any difficult
conversations that need to be had.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Brewing rivalry on
Team Cancer could jeopardize a promising group effort. Although your
sensitive sign generally avoids conflict, this competitive vibe needs to
be diffused under today’s stormy moon-Mars square. If you pretend
nothing’s wrong, this could morph into a full-blown drama, undoing all
the headway you’ve struggled to achieve. Whether you’re giving a pep
talk or calling a summit, do whatever it takes to get everyone back on
track. After that, you’ll be able to tackle the mission at hand.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Is it better to be liked or respected? As the moon spins into a stormy
square with assertive Mars today, set aside your need for validation. If
you want to get to the finish line, you may have to forgo a little
popularity in the name of achieving a larger victory. While your
unwavering stance may draw complaints, trust that this tension will
pass. Soon enough, people will recognize the genius of your
foresight—and thank you for the courage it took to lead the way.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Anxiety alert! As the moon locks horns with agitating Mars, a complex
emotional situation demands attention. Try not to reach for an unhealthy
vice to self-soothe. Sugar, caffeine and other stimulants will only
intensify that “stomach tied in knots” feeling. Move the energy with a
walk or a massage. Before you face the challenging situation, call in
emotional support. Having a friend tag along on an overwhelming errand
or appointment can make it all feel more manageable.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
The green-eyed monster could make an appearance under today’s
competitive moon-Mars square, lifting the veil on feelings you’ve
concealed from the world (and possibly from yourself!). Someone you
perceived as an ally might veer into frenemy terrain. Instead of
allowing jealousy or rivalry to consume your bond, connect with the real
emotions that have sparked this envy. Consider opening up and having an
honest conversation about what you feel is missing. It could help you
create a more balanced dynamic in which you both feel appreciated.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
It takes you a while to warm up to people, but once they’ve passed your
loyalty tests, you let it all hang out. But today’s feather-ruffling
square between the moon and prickly Mars cautions you to be a bit more
circumspect. It’s not that you can’t trust this person, Scorpio. But
they may be too preoccupied with their own life circumstances to listen
with the sensitivity you desire. Nope, it isn’t personal—but since you
may take it that way, it’s probably best to set a time to talk that
works for BOTH of you.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Injecting playfulness into
conversation comes naturally to you, Sagittarius, and it’s always been
your go-to strategy for easing tension. But hold the stand-up
monologues. Under today’s tricky square between the moon and firecracker
Mars, people’s prickly sides are bound to make an appearance, and your
humor could go over like a lead balloon. Hold back the impulse to fight
fire with fire. Your snarky retorts could start a war (razor-sharp
though they may be, Sagittarius.) The more even-keeled your response,
the better!

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
You’re ready to show your true colors,
Capricorn, so don’t just stick to a “neutral palette.” As the moon gets
elbowed by passionate Mars, you could lose your audience by being too
cool and understated. That said, you don’t have to turn it up SO much
that you oversaturate people with intensity. Share a little more of your
personal side and let others do the same. Make sure your interactions
don’t revolve around negativity. Even if you’re fed up with a mutual
acquaintance or exhausted from work, be aware of how long you’re harping
on the topic.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
What issue has been occupying prime
real estate in your head lately, Aquarius? Under today’s clash between
the moon and feisty Mars, it’s time to get off the fence. Either take
clear and direct action or put this topic in the parking lot. If you’re
worried about making a wrong move, give yourself a breather. Turn your
attention to something that you can actually control—which may include
helping out a friend. We’re not advocating denial here, but a timeout
from ruminating can do wonders to refresh your perspective.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday February 23
Take a breather from “full-action mode” today, Pisces, and get your RDA
of introspection time. You operate at your absolute best when you use
your intuition as a guide. Minimize the distractions so you can tune in
to your gut and get a clear read on your best next moves. Meditate or
even free-write in the tub of a candlelit bathroom. Slowing down might
trigger a release of pent-up emotions. Don’t hold back. A good cry or
primal scream can be incredibly healing today.
