Your daily horoscope is fierce as hell a day before the full moon in Leo. Try to microdose the charged-up vibes, or it could be too much. Even though the peak lunation won’t bubble up until tomorrow, the moon makes an early morning sextile to audacious, auspicious Jupiter in Gemini, infusing us with optimism when we need it the most. But note that with the sun and Uranus in a spat, we might be overstimulated and spill tea even when we don’t mean to. If you can’t stop nervously talking, replace that can’t-stop-won’t-stop energy with deep, slow breaths, and calmly keep some of what you know to yourself.
Groupthink might annoy you today, Aries. You’re in a rebellious mood, so if someone around you is too cautious, you could push and prod until they join whatever parade you’re currently trying to lead. Rather than trying to convince the haters, find those already on your side and strategize together.
Taurus
April 20–May 20
Professional problems can be frustrating today, Taurus, especially regarding conversations about money. You might feel like pulling your hair out if you’re trying to balance a budget or do your monthly accounting. Can you switch tasks and come back to it in a few days?
Gemini
May 21–June 20
A sweeping curiosity about how other people’s worlds work could consume you today, Gemini. You were born asking questions, but your urge to know everything right this second could end up rubbing some folks the wrong way. Whether it’s friends, family, or co-workers, just be aware of whether you’re being a touch too nosy.

Cancer
June 21–July 22
Your most intimate relationships could be alternately fun and hella frustrating today, Cancer. With your sexuality sector activated, your desires are loud, but your partner may not be cooperative in the way that you want them to be. Try to arrive at a resolution that doesn’t involve crying or slamming a door.
Leo
July 23–August 22
There’s so much going on for you today, Leo. Not only are you deep in the energetic window of the full moon in your sign (exact tomorrow), but with the sun in your relationship zone duking it out with anything-goes Uranus, everything feels heightened and dramatic—especially when it comes to partnership. Try not to push the tensions any higher.
Virgo
August 23–September 22
Stress at work might seem like it’s a bit out of control today, Virgo, and that sense of chaos could unsettle you because you don’t always do well when things are out of place. Remind yourself that you can’t always clean up other people’s messes—and instead of launching into savior mode, consider going for a walk or taking the rest of the day off.

Libra
September 23–October 22
Your creative inspiration is at an all-time high today, Libra, but someone or something could temporarily thwart you from next-leveling your big ideas. Play the long game—you don’t have to get your work in front of people immediately. Continue to tweak and play with your ideas until they take on a life of their own.
Scorpio
October 23–November 21
An unexpected event could come up in or around your home that could be temporary, but super annoying. It may have something to do with your current partner or an ex and may require creative thinking. You’re not short on that at the moment, so you’ll work through it quickly, Scorpio.
Sagittarius
November 22–December 21
The sun in your communication zone is squabbling with the planet of surprise in your work zone, and this can cause sudden and unexpected arguments to erupt, Sagittarius. Do your best not to cause any spats; if one is happening around you, consider jumping in to referee. You can see both sides more easily right now.
advertisement
Capricorn
December 22–January 19
Today is annoying, Capricorn, so try not to let it get to you. Money is likely on your mind, and a roadblock or two could be between you and your financial goal. You might feel less in control of the situation than you really are, but if you give it a few days, you’ll probably realize you wasted time worrying.
Aquarius
January 20–February 18
Your birthday season enters a new, crucial phase today, Aquarius. Your ego is being tested in multiple ways, and with a full moon in your opposite sign tomorrow, you’ll need to be willing to dance with your own shadow. What parts of yourself are you unwilling to look at? Examine them proactively so your loved ones don’t force you into a confrontation.
Pisces
February 19–March 20
Your psyche is extra sensitive today, Pisces. Being compassionate is your superpower, but this is one of those moments when someone might rely on you so much that they take advantage of your kindness and care. Create healthy boundaries so you don’t feel overwhelmed.

Expect the unexpected on February 12 at 8:53 a.m. ET under the full moon in Leo. Full moons in Leo always bring some drama and encourage you to focus on yourself. In astrology, Leo rules the heart, which can often coincide with heartfelt admissions or making decisions that align with what your heart desires. Leo is a zodiac sign full of passion, play, generosity, and charisma, and this is your yearly reminder to take up space! There is no reason to dim your light to make others feel comfortable. Under full moons in Leo, you can also benefit from listening to your inner child or teen. Checking in with younger versions of yourself or visualizing a conversation with your younger self can lead to insightful breakthroughs.

As a fixed fire sign, Leo’s energy also gives you the stamina, stubbornness, creativity, and determination to see your goals through to the end. This could coincide with exciting developments regarding some of your creative projects or passions and show up as a moment of manifestation. Sometimes, the full moon in Leo helps you cultivate more joy and reconnect with the present moment. The sun moving through Aquarius also highlights the natural opposition between the self (Leo) and your community (Aquarius). This is a powerful time to reflect on your unique gifts and talents. How can you leverage what makes you special and stand out to make a difference in your community and leave the world better than you found it? You’re meant to share your light with others.
When is the next full moon in Cancer?
The full moon in Leo occurs on February 12 at 8:53 a.m. ET. This brings you back to the intentions you set under the new moon in Leo on August 4, 2024.
What is the astrological meaning of a full moon?
When a full moon occurs, the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth and sit in opposite zodiac signs across the sky from each other. The moon appears at its brightest, so astrologers associate this part of the cycle with illuminating previously obscured information.
A full moon also marks the halfway point of the monthly lunar cycle. In astrology, this symbolizes a turning point, a moment of culmination or celebration, or a point of release. While a new moon is a time to set new intentions, a full moon is typically associated with intentions materializing or coming to light.
What can you expect from the February 2025 full moon?
This year’s full moon in Leo is louder than ever, thanks to a harsh connection to Uranus in Taurus. Uranus is a planet of unpredictability, breakthroughs, surprises, and innovation. There are bound to be plenty of shocks and surprises in your personal life near this full moon. This is not the best day to hold yourself to a strict schedule, as unexpected events or invites could pop up at the last minute. When the sun and moon, two of the most personal planets in the sky, come into close contact with Uranus, you might crave more autonomy and independence and be in a mood to take risks. While this energy can feel disruptive and uncomfortable, it can help you be unapologetically yourself.
The full moon will also connect events, topics, and conversations that unfolded on February 10 and February 11, when Mercury in Aquarius and the sun in Aquarius met Uranus in the sky simultaneously. Look out for intriguing developments, and remember that people are a little more on edge and reactive than usual (yourself included)!
This full moon is taking place in the third decan of Leo, which is associated with the Seven of Wands. (Each zodiac sign is divided into three decans, which adds details and nuance to that section of the zodiac’s experience and characteristics.) This tarot card depicts a figure who is in a defensive stance. This can stir up competition with others, a need to stand your ground, or represent a conflict of sorts. There could be some type of unexpected disagreement you may need to navigate under these moonbeams. However, facing these challenges can help you express a more authentic version of yourself. It’s time to put yourself first!
You’re caught up in the moment, Aries, and it feels good. The full moon lands in your fifth house of joy, pleasure, hobbies, and creativity. You could learn some lucky news or make unprecedented progress on a personal goal or passion project. You could also stumble upon a new hobby or activity that you want to take more seriously. This is also a very romantic section of your birth chart and invites you to experiment with who and what you crave in partnerships. Singles might feel more daring and be willing to go on a blind date or put themselves back out there! Couples are ready to spice up their connection by trying new things.

You could make some major personal decisions under these moonbeams that surprise your nearest and dearest! You don’t mind, though; you’re done settling and trying to live up to someone else’s expectations. This can feel like a liberating moment of showing up more boldly, confidently, and authentically. You could also learn important news about a family member or even decide to move across the country! Changes at work could also be on the horizon.

You could also land a contract opportunity when you least expect it. Others might also confide in you today, making you a magnet for secrets.

Cancer
You’re dealing with some financial shake-ups, Cancer. The full moon illuminates your second house of income, resources, and possessions. Maybe you receive an unexpected promotion or decide to quit a job on a whim. This can also coincide with you making a last-minute purchase or investment. It’s also possible an investor or influential person in your network could step up and offer you a new gig or contract. This isn’t the best energy for making major financial decisions, as you could deal with some unexpected expenses. On the bright side, you could also receive a thoughtful and surprising gift from someone today.

Make a budget. Maintaining your finances will help you feel more grounded and on track.
Leo
You might feel like you’re living in a movie, Leo. The full moon lands in your first house of self, identity, personal goals, and new beginnings. This energy can feel personal, but also liberating. There could be major shake-ups in your relationships, career, or living situation. Today, your life path and direction can take unexpected turns and experience rapid change. You’re also feeling more empowered to show up authentically and ditch any people-pleasing tendencies. A personal goal you set for yourself could also manifest in the tangible world, or maybe this coincides with sharing a shocking personal decision with others.
Your full moon self-care practice
Take up space and take a risk!

Virgo
You’re ready to wind down, Virgo. The full moon activates your 12th house of subconsciousness, closure, and healing. This part of your chart can stir up big feelings, as you close out cycles and move on from situations, patterns, and people that no longer serve you. You could also crave extra rest today as you navigate these emotional changes. Give yourself time to surrender to what you can’t control or change. You could also learn some interesting news today—or even a secret! Working with your intuition and seeking guidance from a mentor, trusted spiritual advisor, or tarot deck can be revealing and illuminating.
Your full moon self-care practice
When you feel the urge to push yourself and power through your to-do list, opt for a nap or some self-care instead.
Libra
Your alliances are experiencing some shake-ups and turbulence, Libra. The full moon moves through your 11th house of friendships, allies, community, and hopes for the future. A friendship could abruptly end, or someone unexpectedly steps up and shows up for you when you need them most. This could also coincide with a goal you set for yourself starting to take shape or receiving some felp to make your dream a reality. Secrets are also on the menu today, which can be fun and light-hearted, but try to avoid gossip.
Your full moon self-care practice
Surprise a friend by sending an unprompted text expressing gratitude for their presence in your life.
Scorpio
You’re ready to give a new goal your all, Scorpio. The full moon resides in your tenth house of life path, career, and recognition. This could show up as a moment of manifestation. Something you’ve worked hard for could finally pay off. It could also serve as a moment of redirection—maybe there is a new calling or path you want to take seriously and pursue. You could also land a new job, accept a raise or promotion, or even have a contract or role end abruptly. There’s a little bit of instability in the air today, and while sudden changes can unfold, ultimately, these shifts will help you find more alignment and enjoy a more fulfilling future.

Your full moon self-care practice
Take a risk and tune out the noise—as long as it feels authentic to who you truly are and what direction you want to pursue next!
Sagittarius
Conversations are unconventional, Sagittarius! The full moon lands in your ninth house of communication, perspective, wisdom, and travel. You could learn news that catches you off-guard, or maybe you’re the one sharing something unexpected! News you learn today could also change your routine in some way—like maybe you’re considering signing up for a night class or a weekend workshop. This is also a powerful time to speak your truth—even if it disturbs other people’s peace. You deserve to share how you really feel.
Your full moon self-care practice
Spend some time with a pen and paper. Journaling your feelings and ideas can help you process and lead to unexpected ideas and solutions.
Capricorn
It’s time to feel your feelings, Capricorn! The full moon illuminates your eighth house of vulnerability, shared resources, and your shadow side. Emotionally, you could feel courageous enough to address some feelings you’ve avoided. While this may be temporarily uncomfortable, you can experience a moment of catharsis that feels liberating. This is also helpful energy for addressing feelings of resentment, jealousy, envy, or shame that have been simmering. If you’ve struggled to compare yourself to others, this energy can help you clear that and remember that comparison is the thief of joy. Practically, this can also show up as big finances shifts—like paying down debt, a seemingly random new contract opportunity, or the abrupt end of a contract or commitment.
Your full moon self-care practice
Dive deep and schedule in a good cry—it can help you release the past and create space for new beginnings.

Aquarius
Your relationships might feel a bit unpredictable, Aquarius! The full moon activates your seventh house of one-on-one partnerships and contracts. You could decide to elope or maybe you’re ready to call off a long-term relationship that feels boring or restrictive in some way. This could also bring someone with long-lasting potential into singles’ lives or encourage couples to spice things up. With Uranus involved, all you can do is expect the unexpected! Remember that this can also affect any of your relationships—from BFFs to family members to roommates. If love isn’t a priority, this can also bring changes to some of your contracts or client relationships. A new collaboration or opportunity could show up when you least expect it.
Your full moon self-care practice
Push yourself outside your comfort zone in your closet relationship and soak up some new experiences together!
Pisces
You’re ready to change things up, Pisces! The full moon moves through your sixth house of daily routines, responsibilities, and well-being. This could align with the ending of a major project or obligation you’ve poured a lot of your time and energy into over the past few months. You could also receive a promotion or move on from an old role. This might also arrive with some surprising news or conversations. You might also have a sudden urge to set a boundary or step away from any commitments that leave you feeling drained and underappreciated in favor of pursuing some personal ideas that light you up. If you’ve been wanting to change a habit, this is helpful energy for disrupting any long-established patterns.
Your full moon self-care practice

There are approximately five thousand days in the month of January—and yet somehow February (and its mid-month celebration of *all things love*) always creeps up on you. But don’t panic: The latest TikTok trend has you covered this Valentine’s Day, whether you’re showering your romantic partner, all your besties, or yourself with TLC.

At 1.2 billion TikTok views and counting, bae baskets are making a major splash, and for good reason. The concept isn’t complicated: Put together a care package of sorts, filled with simple-but-swoon-worthy goodies that feel unique and personal to your recipient. It’s a super thoughtful (not to mention low-effort) way to show your A team you notice and care about the things that bring them joy—and the best part? It can be totally wallet-friendly, and definitely doesn’t seem like you waited until the last possible second to grab them a gift.
To get you inspired to build your own Valentine’s Day gift basket, we scoured the shelves at CVS—because nothing can beat the convenience of CVS if you’re a last-minute shopper—and rounded up eight essentials that anyone on your love list is guaranteed to appreciate and *actually* use. Think: cozy pillows for your favorite homebody, candles and beauty products for the self-care connoisseur, and plenty of sweet treats for, well, everyone.
Bonus: They’re all under $25—which you can brag about to your friends who love to budget, or keep as your best-kept secret (we won’t tell)—and with CVS ExtraCare, you can get additional savings and Extrabucks back on tons of Valentine’s Day finds. So grab a wicker box, a shower caddy, or a canvas bag, and start filling bae baskets for every love in your life (reminder: that includes you).
Start your bae basket with a festive and romantic base (extra points for one that fills up some space). This white, faux fur pillow is a fun seasonal add to any couch, bed, or cozy chair, and serves as an understated invitation to snuggle.
You can never have enough candles, and this soy blend—made with rose and tonka for a warm, sweet, and spicy scent that’ll linger in any space—serves as a reminder to relax and relish in a little self-care. Mood lighting, activated.
Keep the self-care session going strong with healing bath salts that help relax the body and moisturize the skin (and they smell like summertime). The hibiscus and berry extracts form a soothing foam and give the tub a red tint that feels *very* seasonally appropriate. Feeling fancy? Toss in some rose petals to really give your bath-themed basket some extra pizzazz.
There’s no greater love than BFF love—and adding friendship bracelets to your bae basket is a sweet way to acknowledge that. Gift your #1 this pack of eight, dish them out to your closest crew, or stack them all on your own wrist (because, ICYMI, it’s very cool to be your own best pal).
The TikToksphere loves bae baskets almost as much as it loves Stanley tumblers. Skip the investment and nestle this heart-fluttering dupe into your care package for better hydration on Valentine’s Day and beyond. Toss in a couple boxes of Sweethearts Conversation Hearts to round out the theme.
A new tube of lip tint will have all your beauty-loving besties blowing kisses. This long-lasting formula from Maybelline glides on smoothly and leaves a soft, matte finish on your pout—and it comes in 10 buildable and blendable shades. From February 9 to 15, you can get $6 Extrabucks when you buy two tubes, so go ahead and grab one for yourself.
No bae basket is complete without chocolate (yes, even for the S.O.s who claim they don’t like dessert). From coconut, to raspberry velvet, to sugar cookie, there’s a surprise filling for everyone in this box of 14 truffles.
No need to choose between chocolate or gummies this Valentine’s Day (or, um, ever). Instead, pair your Godiva chocolates with this heart-shaped carton of classic Haribo bears. With ExtraCare, you can buy one and get the second box 50 percent off. How sweet is that?
