Today's Horoscopes: Feb 04, 2009
Aries- Although self-restraint may not come naturally to you, you’ve been doing a pretty good job of it lately with your key planet Mars in conservative Capricorn. Now, however, all bets are off as impulsive Mars enters independent Aquarius, feeding your natural instinct to lead by example, rather than follow by duty. Reckless behavior in the days ahead may be tempting, yet it’s smarter to save some energy for later on when you will need it most.
Taurus- Getting ahead at work becomes more important to you now that assertive Mars is in your 10th House of Career. In fact, you could become so driven toward success that other areas of your life might suffer. Don’t let your finances go unattended or they could quickly create problems for you. Handling a situation before it grows out of control is much smarter than untangling a mess after the fact.
Gemini- You normally bounce back quickly, yet now it’s even easier for you to feel as if everything will work out. Paradoxically, the Moon in your sign encourages you to wear your emotions closer to the surface, so others may pick up on your moodiness, rather than your growing optimism. Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks; just stay focused on your long-term goals. Success is probable if you don’t let yourself get distracted.
Cancer- You have been traveling through some pretty deep emotional spaces recently and today’s entry of Mars into your 8th House of Sharing can remind you that establishing clear boundaries is critical to your continuing growth. Fortunately, you aren’t as likely now to lose your perspective because your analytical powers are strong. Rational thinking is fine, but don’t use it as a way of avoiding your true feelings.
Leo- Although you aren’t overly sensitive today, it still may appear that someone is more aggressive than usual. The truth is that others might act more assertive around you and resisting this energy will only feed it. Instead of heating up a conflict, aim your intentions at a positive goal and keep moving in that direction the best you can, no matter what anyone else says.
Virgo- This is a time of paradoxes for you as you try to maintain your focus on what’s most important. But there’s so much happening that you are pulled off course more easily now. Part of the problem is that you are tempted to take on more than you can do in the amount of time you have available. Don’t try to be everything for everybody. Do a little less, but do it well.
Libra- You are walking on the sunny side of the street now and even if you run into a problem, it won’t likely bring you down. Your creativity receives a boost as Mars enters your 5th House of Spontaneity today. Don’t over-analyze anything. Instead of weighing and balancing every decision, let your gut reaction be your guide. First thought, best thought.
Scorpio- You are a bundle of contradictions these days. Although you have an uncharacteristic sense of emotional detachment now, your feelings are profoundly deep, giving you a sharp perspective on what’s happening. You won’t likely let others know about your internal process today, for you’re not really seeking anyone else’s point of view. Nevertheless, a conversation with a close friend is still a good idea, even if it’s simply for the camaraderie.
Sagittarius- Hang on to your hat, for no matter how busy your life has grown, it’s about to become even busier. It may be futile to think about canceling appointments because whatever you don’t do today will simply be added to tomorrow’s calendar. Even if you cannot avoid responsibilities at work, you can make smart use of your time at home by relaxing so you don’t burn yourself out too soon.
Capricorn- Even if you are attracted to the idea of starting a new project, it’s more sensible now to build on something that already exists. Enterprising Mars is now in your 2nd House of Finances, encouraging you to invest your resources, instead of going out and spending money on things you don’t really need. Nevertheless, you may be fighting against your own boredom today, so be careful about purchasing something impulsively and then regretting it tomorrow.
Aquarius- Today feisty Mars moves into your sign for a six week stay and your blood runs hot while the warrior planet is in your 1st House of Self. However, it’s important to find ways to constructively express your excess energy, rather than letting it turn into anger or resentment. On the positive side, you have more stamina now, so start a project that requires a lot of hard work, especially if you have been putting it off. You’ll feel better once you have something physical to do.
Pisces- The contradiction of your current situation might require you to be outgoing and expressive, even if you feel like withdrawing. The idea of solitude may be very appealing now, yet circumstances probably won’t allow you to pull away from your social commitments. Keep in mind that you can still go traveling within your fantasies as long as you show up in the outer world as required.
