General Daily Insight for February 20, 2025
Big ideas could be everywhere we look at the moment. As the intuitive Scorpio Moon aligns with visionary Neptune, we may have an almost psychic view of possibilities within our grasp. Once Luna slides into adventurous Sagittarius, we’ll probably want to try some of them out. Once creative Mercury in Pisces squares overconfident Jupiter in Gemini at 3:13 pm EST, it’ll likely become apparent that we’re missing a few key details. Learning things the hard way is still valid progress!
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Doing what you said you’d do could currently seem like an urgent challenge. You may not even know what led you to make an over-the-top boast! As energetic Mercury in your 12th House of Self-Undoing goads arrogant Jupiter in your communication sector, perhaps you’ve unwittingly invited the world into a fight you’re carrying on against yourself. Given the opportunity, you are capable of rising to the occasion. See how far you get with your best effort — you’ll potentially be surprised.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Seeing a social situation clearly could be particularly difficult. While calculating Mercury in your 11th House of Community challenges puffed-up Jupiter in your self-worth zone, you may be looking for a fight, regardless of what anyone else is actually doing. Although you have the right to your own insecurities, don’t draw others into them needlessly. The current status of a key relationship might not be what you want it to be, but that doesn’t mean there’s a grand conspiracy against you.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Making a big splash may currently be tempting. When observant Mercury in your 10th House of Reputation engages with theatrical Jupiter in your sign, however, you might receive a few questions that you find difficult to answer. Sometimes you just have to start somewhere, even if you haven’t figured out all the details yet. In that case, you’d be better off admitting what you don’t know rather than spinning fake facts on the spot. Honesty won’t muddy the waters any further, at least.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Sinking into an intense debate could command your mental energy today. In truth, it’s possible that your heart’s not totally in it. As detail-oriented Mercury in your intellectual 9th house conflicts with powerful Jupiter in your 12th House of Contemplation, you may know there’s more to the story than you’re letting on. You don’t have to tell others everything that’s on your mind, but at least keep it straight in your head — avoid taking out your personal doubts on anyone else.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Sharing a secret might seem like an easy way to obtain the attention you crave. Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily be able to control what happens once you let the information out. Although you may have a specific audience in mind, any spicy news you release is likely to disseminate much further than that as broadcaster Mercury in your 8th House of Taboo Topics riles up boisterous Jupiter in your community zone. Be realistic about the potential for blowback.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You’re likely to be especially sensitive to pressure from others today. As verbal Mercury in your relationship sector provokes bombastic Jupiter in your ambitious 10th house, you might take dramatic and potentially public action in response to a critical comment. If someone has been goading you for a long time, they may have this coming, no matter how surprised they act. Still, you can’t count on them to come to the appropriate conclusions, so make sure that there’s something else in it for you.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Your attempts to plan a grand adventure are likely to frustrate you today. While frenetic Mercury in your 6th House of Responsibilities conflicts with expansive Jupiter in your travel sector, it may be harder than you expect to extract yourself from your daily routines. This is at least a good way for you to take inventory of all your commitments. If too many have crept in over time, you might need to think about setting aside a few less vital tasks.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Scheming to make more money may be appealing in the moment. However, you’re wise to be wary of any plan that requires you to surrender too much control to another person or institution. While crafty Mercury in your speculative 5th house grapples with overbearing Jupiter in your 8th House of Big Money, someone promising dramatic returns might secretly be seeking power over you. Getting as far as you can with your own effort is harder, but less likely to blow up on you.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
The amount of activity in your home or family life could be wearing you out right now. As whirring Mercury in your domestic space catches the attention of pretentious Jupiter in your relationship realm, someone might enter the fray with advice on how you should be handling it all differently. Initially, you may be cowed by their claim that they have good intentions, but you’re allowed to listen to your anger at their intrusion. Defend your right to make your own decisions.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Your carefully crafted to-do list has the potential to run off the rails at any moment. While clever Mercury in your 3rd House of Short Trips agitates ambitious Jupiter in your productivity zone, you’ll probably be tempted to cram one too many items into your agenda. When something inevitably doesn’t wind up happening as scheduled, you may need to think about whether your frustration is coming from your dashed expectations or the reality of whatever happened. If it can wait, it might as well!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Playing it too safe could leave you wondering about the alternatives at present. As careful Mercury in your 2nd House of Resources gazes at cocky Jupiter in your speculation sector, you might start to suspect you’d be richer if you took a few more risks. There may be some truth to the overall idea of this, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the specific scheme you’re actively contemplating will solve all your problems. Don’t be afraid to ask a friend for a reality check.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Speaking out could be worth the trouble at present. As articulate Mercury in your sign engages with abundant Jupiter in your 4th House of Roots, knowing that you have a secure foundation might give you the confidence to make a bold statement you otherwise wouldn’t. You aren’t guaranteed to come out of the situation without any pushback at all, but you do have the stability to recover from whatever happens. Maybe the hard things in life aren’t meant to be easy.
