Daily horoscope for February 24, 2023

Getting any heavy stuff out of the way ASAP could free us up to relax later. The active Aries Moon supports serious Saturn, but her tense square to controlling Pluto may provoke power struggles and guilt trips. After Luna enters grounded Taurus at 3:29 am EST, we can likely ditch the drama. Emotions do need to be heard out, as the Moon then collaborates with the sensitive Pisces Sun, but having this conversation honestly rather than manipulatively is the key to reaching a productive outcome.

March 21-April 19

An authority figure could seem to be crushing a brilliant plan of yours today. Even more frustratingly, they’re probably not giving you a straightforward denial. Instead, they’re likely raining on your parade with endless vague complaints — perhaps in the hope that the “no” will finally come from you rather than from them! Identifying what you can afford to do by yourself may prove decisive. If you’re able to pay your own way, there’s less that anyone else can do to stop you.

April 20-May 20

Your limiting beliefs could potentially be holding you back. As the Moon in your neurotic 12th house provokes powerful Pluto, consider the idea that your personal anxieties and the tenets of a philosophy you hold dear can combine into an oppressive structure that’s worse than the sum of its parts. Checking in with peers can help you get out of your own head and reconnect with reality. Although life has legitimate constraints, try not to make them any bigger than they truly are!

May 21-June 20

A political debate among friends has the potential to get out of hand without warning. It’s possibly about more than simply how solid your ideas are — even if you’re right, you could hit someone else’s sore spot. Understanding what you believe is important, but maybe it’s best to process that by yourself for the time being. After the Moon drifts into your contemplative 12th house, you might not even want to share your philosophies with others. Look within to identify what really matters.

June 21-July 22

Power struggles could currently make a close relationship difficult — especially if you don’t want to openly acknowledge that one person tends to be top dog. Although making your partnership conform to community norms isn’t necessarily the answer, researching what’s common for others in similar situations can give you useful perspective. Sometimes you must learn the accepted rules in order to break them in a way that’s constructive. Your bond undoubtedly has its unique qualities, but the limits of reality still affect everyone.

July 23-August 22

Conflict over the correct procedure for a routine task could become explosive today. Who really has the right to unilaterally decree what the rules are, if anyone? Perhaps you and whoever you’re arguing with need to figure out what truly works right now, as opposed to what anyone might have been formally taught. Past teachers don’t have to be wholly wrong for something else to be a better solution. Your experience is a valid form of authority, so don’t be afraid to reference that.

August 23-September 22

Closeness could currently be suffocating for you. As the sensitive Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy clashes against subversive Pluto in your expressive 5th house, you might pull back from connecting if you feel like it doesn’t give you enough space to be yourself. It’s plausible that your beliefs about what’s necessary for a healthy relationship are out of date. Giving each person more breathing room can ultimately make your bond stronger, so try to ask for that openly instead of just ghosting someone.

September 23-October 22

Playing out a parental dynamic with someone else in your life is possible at this time. You may be taking care of their responsibilities as a way to keep them close to you or maintain control over them. As the Moon moves into your regenerative 8th house, seize the opportunity to reboot your relationship in a way that recognizes the independence of each person. A connection chosen freely will ultimately be stronger than one held in place by feelings of guilt and obligation.

October 23-November 21

A passive-aggressive request for help with chores has the potential to backfire on you now. Your right to pursue your personal passions instead of taking yet another one for the team is valid — and you might be the last person to know it! Still, others you share responsibilities with may not be aware of how imbalanced things have become. They’ll probably be willing to correct that if you ask them in a reasonable way. Sniping, however, will mainly create additional conflict.

November 22-December 21

An impulse purchase may presently seem like a way to fight back against powerful forces that are blocking you from your larger financial goals. When there’s never quite enough to go around, a piece of low-hanging fruit can be a reasonably satisfying consolation prize. In the meantime, you might look critically at your regular domestic routines. Picking up and performing a task you’ve been outsourcing could free up funds for other purposes — and give you pride in a job well done.

December 22-January 19

You may want to give the impression that you’ve got everything covered at the moment, but your vulnerable emotions could still make their presence known. Instead of trying to deny reality, you might be better off choosing to share at least some of your concerns with the people around you. Making an intentional disclosure should help you maintain control, as opposed to letting the tension build until you explode. You can’t avoid having feelings, but you can minimize the mess they create.

January 20-February 18

A significant secret could sneak out in your speech at any moment. While the impulsive Moon in your communication sector goads sneaky Pluto in your 12th House of Self-Undoing, you might blurt out information that ties you to a potentially scandalous deed you’d wanted to keep quiet. If you don’t truly regret whatever you did, maybe having it known won’t be that bad! Living in line with your own values can give you a sense of security that stabilizes others as well.

February 19-March 20

Throwing money at a problem in your community could currently seem like the most efficient way to relieve whatever emotional discomfort it causes you. After the intuitive Moon arrives in your articulate 3rd house, talking things over with someone else should help you come up with a more sustainable solution. You’re probably correct in your instinctive reaction that change is necessary. That said, take care to avoid the sort of quick fix that doesn’t do much beyond making you feel good about yourself.
