Aquarius
The Waterbearer (Jan. 19 — Feb. 18)
You are definitely in charge, out front, or on display this week. You have an eye for what is beautiful and likely will make sure to fold beauty around you. You are persevering and will turn over every rock to insure that your bidding is accomplished.
For All Signs Venus, goddess of love to the ancients, has been retrograding since Christmas. On Feb. 3 she will go direct, representing a shift toward the better in relationships with restoration to order (if indeed, relationships can ever be considered “orderly”). During Venus’ resting period of the last several weeks, we were pressed to encounter our personal behavior and relationship values. Many had opportunities to encounter persons of the past and heal old wounds. Now we shift our attention back to the present, hopefully with deeper insight into our motivations.
Aries You may be concentrating heavily on accomplishing a communications project at this time. Another priority is the matter of reorganizing the financial picture and paying bills. There is a lot of mental chatter floating through your consciousness. Take some time to chill.
Taurus The week becomes bright and shiny, now that your ruling planet has turned to forward motion (see lead paragraph). Whatever you do is applauded this week, unless you become too controlling. Activities involving light romance, travel, education and/or legal concerns are favored.
Gemini This is a time when you can make yourself believe anything you want to believe. Your mind and heart are in the clouds, enjoying romance, creativity and beauty. Be careful about promises you want to make now. It could be hard to keep them later when reality lands on your doorstep.
Cancer You are channeling much of your energy into your career and life direction at this time. This week you will be networking among those you know and meeting new people. Sometimes Moon Children are highly energized and extroverted. This is one of those times.
Leo This is a major week for the Lions of the world. You can see so many directions that you might take. It is difficult to choose just one. You yearn to go everywhere and do everything. Now is the time to let yourself dream. If the ground underneath is stable, then take that leap.
Virgo You’ll have to work to ensure that you don’t become mired in mountains of minutiae this week. Concentrate on the big picture and keep asking yourself if you are spending your time on a worthwhile cause. The workplace is in a state of flux and reorganization.
Libra Aspects for romance are great at this time. Your energy will be improving, now that Venus is direct. You may finally get to a home/office project in beautification that has been waiting in the wings for much of the winter. Relationship(s) to children show signs of improvement.
Scorpio This is a happier period. You will enjoy siblings, neighbors, and others in your daily vicinity. You have a desire to enjoy beauty, whether you decorate your home or yourself. A new initiative from November is now arriving at a turning point. You can see it is going to bear fruit.
Sagittarius The future has a rosy glow for you during this period. You are feeling upbeat, optimistic, and generous to everyone around you. You may be exchanging small gifts and favors. A creative idea of November is now coming to a turning point.
Capricorn Venus turns direct in your sign this week. Your behavior through the winter may be reminiscent of past episodes. You thought you knew better, but now you are fully reminded one more time that the old patterns simply are not effective methods of relating.
Pisces The Fish are thoroughly at home with this week’s energies. You want to dream, to enjoy a good book, music, or poetry. Those on diets need to stay out of range of evil foods. Your self-discipline is marginal and needs the help of wide boundaries.
