Today's Horoscopes:Feb 1, 2009
Aries Looking forward is your cup of tea and today you might just drink an extra serving or two. But as much as the pioneering Aries Moon encourages you to dream about what comes next in your life, you might also need to deal with the fallout of your impatience if you cannot wait. Luckily, your anticipation should settle down as the day progresses, so try to enjoy what’s happening each and every moment.
Taurus Even if you successfully stayed under the radar until now, your feelings are about ready to surface and will soon be apparent to those around you. The more you try to hide a secret, the more obvious it will be. Although some things are better kept to yourself, your smartest strategy today is to be as transparent as possible. If asked, simply report in a straightforward manner on what emotions are currently commanding your attention.
Gemini You might have so much to say today that you don’t know where to begin. Unfortunately, you could overwhelm others with your false sense of urgency. It’s not that your perceptions are incorrect; it’s just that you could react so quickly that your friends and family don’t know what to think. Take a few deep breaths and calm yourself down. Let your emotions run their course before you open your mouth.
Cancer Today you may feel like the mother hen, wanting to take care of everyone else in your immediate environment. You know what’s best for them and aren’t interested in hearing another point of view. But your overbearing attitude might inadvertently encourage all the chicks to gang up on you so they can do it their way and not yours. Fortunately, avoiding trouble is easy; just ask others what they want before assuming that you know best.
Leo You could have a sneaking suspicion that your biggest and best ideas need to be pared back a little so you can make them happen. This isn’t about negotiating with anyone else, for others might not yet realize what you are doing. It’s more about applying common sense to your plans before you initiate action so you don’t have to make the adjustments later on.
Virgo You may experience increasing waves of pragmatic realizations today that can help you to fine-tune your strategy for the coming week. You’ll likely have a lot on your plate now that your key planet Mercury moves direct and regains lost territory. Keep in mind that you don’t need to reach your destination right away. Start slowly and turn up the volume gradually for the next few days.
Libra Your little trip down Memory Lane is over. You have recently dipped deep enough into your own reservoir of past experiences and now you will be best served by coming back to the present moment. But this doesn’t mean you should set your feelings aside in favor of logic. Your smartest strategy now must include both your head and your heart.
Scorpio Although you have tried to remain focused on your duties, distractions abound. Paradoxically, it’s the unexpected little twists and turns to your weekend that allow you to slip beneath the surface and find meaning. Nevertheless, it’s time to concentrate on the simple and obvious facts. Today you can experience greater pleasure by paying attention to your senses than attempting to uncover more hidden secrets of the universe.
Sagittarius As the day wears on, it begins to dawn on you that you have some very serious work to do in the very near future and you cannot procrastinate any longer. Hopefully, you had your share of fun this weekend and are now ready to concentrate on the job at hand. Make whatever adjustments to your attitude are necessary and get busy because you really can’t afford to waste this moment.
Capricorn Others may look to you now for guidance because you seem to have your wits about you and your feet firmly planted on the ground. Fortunately, you are up for the challenge and shouldn’t miss this opportunity to demonstrate your ability to assume authority. Although this is a rather serious time, don’t lose your sense of humor. You can be effective while still having a good time.
Aquarius There’s more going on now than meets the eye. You may be lost in deep contemplation that isn’t readily apparent to anyone else, but this isn’t a time for idle fantasies. You are playing through possible scenarios in your mind so you can choose the best response to the challenges that lie ahead. Make sure you explore a wide variety of options, for once you pick a direction it will be much harder to change later on.
Pisces It’s challenging for you to tell others what you are thinking now, even if you clearly know what you feel right away. You may be afraid that you can accidentally give away a secret if you speak too soon, but holding on to your thoughts might make you seem a bit stiff or even emotionally detached. Muster the courage to push past your fears, for it could be even more difficult to say what’s on your mind if you wait.
