Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, February 20, 2026

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Worry less about what others think of your professional dreams. If we all wanted the same things, then life would be pretty boring. Dare to be the original you are. Don’t hold back on spending money on your health this month, or it could cost you more than double in the long run.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

I want you to make more time for guilty pleasures, as you need to know that your wants and needs are important too. Beware telling tales about family when the lack of loyalty you show is likely to outweigh any gain.

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

It’s only by stepping away from the situation which is causing you so much stress that you will be able to understand it. To say others know how to get under your skin is an understatement. Use today to restore the balance needed.

Cancer (June 22– July 23)

I know you don’t want to get others into trouble, but you could end up causing problems for yourself if you continue to let a close one get away with their thoughtless actions. To say a line has been crossed is not an exaggeration. Friends you make by accident today bring good luck to your career.

Leo (July 24 – August 23)

You realise now who you want to spend less time with and what and who you want to make a priority. You find it easier than you thought to move on and not look back. The sun blesses a family reconciliation you never thought you’d see, but which time and location has made possible.

Virgo (August 24 – September 23)

Saturn meets Neptune in Aries and you begin to build up from what was knocked down. You’ve been affected both mentally and physically, but from today you’re ready to find your mojo and to do things your way. Those to whom you gave more than one chance finally realise your cut-off point.

Libra (September 24 – October 23)

It is a more experimental Libra that I write to today. You’re no longer worried about looking the fool, you are excited by the chance to use your imagination more in your work. What is required of you professionally is what you have naturally in abundance.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Don’t feel guilty for making you a priority. You’re not used to being the star of your story, due to the supportive role you’ve had to play to everyone else for what must seem like an age now. Jobs you consider from today are heaven sent.

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

You’ve had to ride a lot of changes and look at you, you’re still here! You enter a period of healing now, where you come to terms with whose choices you could not guide. Saturn adds structure and someone you thought would disappoint is about to pleasantly surprise.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

You ease your worries by having a plan. You realise who’s been holding you back for their own needs, but you also see that they didn’t do it from a bad place. That doesn’t change the fact that what you do next has to be a step towards what is right for you, does it?

Aquarius (January 21 – February 19)

Education and training come to the fore and not only can you learn skills without having to pay over the odds for them, but you can also get professional help for free you had not expected. Beware taking on debt for someone who would never do the same for you.

Pisces (February 20 – March 20)

Tying up loose ends sees you more nervous than you thought you’d be. You realise that what you’re doing will have an effect on more than just your life. You also see that what you missed out on professionally last month was actually a blessing in disguise.
