Daily horoscope for February 17, 2023

Making practical progress can currently inspire us. The Moon in realistic Capricorn harmonizes with innovative Uranus, helping us improve upon what already works. Attentive Luna also supports perceptive Neptune, picking up on subtle needs. As visionary Mercury encourages expansive Jupiter at 9:13 pm EST, today’s success can encourage future dreams! That said, once the Moon meets withholding Pluto, we may need to look within and conquer our inhibitions before we move further. Having a goal in mind should at least be useful motivation.

March 21-April 19

Sharing your recent goals with your friends can build your confidence. You probably already have some sense that your ideas are reasonably solid, but having that validated by others may put your lingering anxieties to rest — and give you the motivation you need to push forward! Even so, there might still be parts of your vision that you can’t quite put into words yet. Focus on what is clear and certain, and let the cosmos help shape the rest over time.

April 20-May 20

Bringing a long-held dream of yours into reality could finally work out. As detail-oriented Mercury in your ambitious 10th house supports unrestrained Jupiter in your fantasy sector, you’re equipped to take a broad idea and convert it into an achievable step-by-step plan. Although this effort might change how people see you, it’s probably the product of a shift that’s been brewing within you for a while. Try to calmly respond to any shock from others with the insights you’ve developed over time.

May 21-June 20

The answers you’re looking for can likely be found through the people around you. With articulate Mercury in your 9th House of Beliefs supporting extroverted Jupiter in your networking sector, clarity about your own views should be an excellent guide toward others who are on the same page. That said, agreement on the big issues isn’t everything in a relationship. Cautiously opening up on a more personal level will help you start to build healthy intimacy a little bit at a time.

June 21-July 22

Working together can help you reach your professional goals at this time. While thoughtful Mercury in your 8th House of Mergers harmonizes with expansive Jupiter in your ambition sector, clearly identifying what each collaborator is responsible for should prevent trouble from popping up later. If you’ve previously known a new business associate in a social or family context, you may need to resist any temptation you experience to view them through the limits of the other role. Give them space to surprise you!

July 23-August 22

Pursuing an intellectual passion with a pal can be exciting today. As chatty Mercury in your relationship sector reaches out to curious Jupiter in your philosophical 9th house, you’ll probably enjoy a good book, movie, or lecture more if you have someone to thoughtfully analyze it with. At this moment, you run the risk of getting stuck on minor details that take you away from understanding the main point of the content. Let your companion talk you out of that tendency.

August 23-September 22

Your to-do list is likely longer than usual. While clear-thinking Mercury in your responsible 6th house nudges hearty Jupiter in your sharing sector, you’re capable of securing help from others if you ask for it. Still, your assistants may not do the tasks in question exactly the same way that you do. Although you might wish they’d try a little harder to match your level of artistic flair, consider the possibility that getting things done is more important than getting them done perfectly.

September 23-October 22

Kicking back and having fun could bring just the rejuvenation that a close connection of yours needs right now. While you’ve potentially been putting in hard work to deepen your emotional intimacy, your efforts don’t have to be as solemn as you can possibly make them. When witty Mercury in your playful 5th house eggs on celebratory Jupiter in your relationship sector, enjoying a good laugh together can help you discover new sides of each other. Don’t put it off any longer!

October 23-November 21

Putting in work to improve your home environment could be fruitful today. As logical Mercury in your domestic sector supports energetic Jupiter in your productive 6th house, you have both brains and brawn on your side. Rather than taking everything on yourself, though, think about looping in others who have a stake in the situation and asking them to pull their weight. Make an effort to recognize when to stop talking and start acting — sometimes overanalyzing just makes a problem more dramatic!

November 22-December 21

Bringing a touch of playful wit into any upcoming routine conversations can make your life more fun. With the aid of clever Mercury in your communication sector inspiring fun-loving Jupiter in your creative 5th house, your jokes will likely be on point! However, you’ll still need to know when to stop goofing around. Humor overused to cover up a shaky sense of self-worth eventually becomes awkward for everyone involved, so muster the confidence to deal with your real issues in an appropriate way.

December 22-January 19

You may currently have an especially clear view of how you could use your money or other resources to make life comfortable for your family. No matter how much you want to help, don’t forget to analyze your motivations before springing into action — especially as the caring Moon meets controlling Pluto in your sign. Although a dramatic gift is noticeable, simply asking for the connection you seek might work better than you expect. Giving is more fun when there aren’t strings attached!

January 20-February 18

Dominating the conversational airspace may come easily to you today. Be wary of the possibility that you’re talking a lot without really saying anything. Perhaps you’re going off on long, rambling tangents to prevent people from asking uncomfortable questions about a topic you don’t want to discuss. They might not be as interested in that issue as you think they are, though — and, if it does come up, they’ll probably respect a polite deflection. Don’t let your anxiety make your problems worse.

February 19-March 20

Spending money on a private dream could be appealing to you now. However, peer pressure may also be playing an outsize role in your thought process. With discerning Mercury in your 12th House of the Subconscious moderating extravagant Jupiter in your finance sector, it’s probably worth your time to step back and sort out which of your desires are truly your own — and which possibly belong to other people. Be realistic about the limits of what any purchase can give you.
