Horoscopes: February 4th-8th
Aries: Aries are known as the leaders of the pack. They prefer to initiate rather than complete. They are independent, have an upbeat personality, and bring excitement into other people’s lives.
- A misunderstanding with a family member or friend could determine your attitude for the week. One of you is less communicative than usual making the turmoil even more aggressive. It might take some effort to bring the issues into the open and work them out. Both you and the other person are apt to be stressed out and a little on edge. Cut yourselves some slack and try to talk it out as soon as possible. Nothing gets easier the more you put it off.
Taurus: Tauruses are all about reward and enjoy psychical pleasures, as well as material goods. They have an eye for beauty, tend to be good with finances, self-indulgent, and a little possessive at times.
- This will be the perfect week to stay inside, turn off your phone, and have more personal “me-time” than usual. Friends and relatives can be stressful, and phone conversations could touch off some misunderstandings and cause unnecessary hurt feelings or headaches. If you must talk to people, keep the conversations light and brief. This week is about making yourself feel better.
Gemini: Gemini love to talk. They are expressive, quick-witted, sociable, ready for fun, but can also be known to be two-faced at times.
- Recent stress could leave you wanting to spend the week doing things that are detrimental to your psyche. Even though it sounds like a good idea at the time to take a 3-hour nap after school, this may not be the best or most efficient way to spend your time. It is important to take care of yourself, however, there are better ways to do it that can not only make you feel better mentally, but physically. Going for a run or reading a book are both ways to relax while still keeping your mind active.
Cancer: Cancers take pleasure in the comforts of home and family. They love to nurture others. They are also known to be sentimental, emotional, sensitive, and to get attached very quickly to others.
- This week you will be feeling more confident than usual and you could be thinking in terms of starting new friendships. You could also grow closer to those who mean the most to you- family, friends, romantic partners. Your new sense of self-confidence should pull more people into your circle and make you feel better in the long run- don’t fight the companionship.
Leo: Leos love being the center of attention and have a desire to be loved. They are known to be impatient and egotistic, yet passionate.
- Some harsh words spoken carelessly could make you feel hurt and insecure. They may not have been intentional, but even so, bear in mind that they’re only words. They tell you far more about the one who said them than they do about you. Spend the evening talking with people who love and respect you.
Virgo: Virgos are picky, critical, and have great attention to detail. They are seen as innocent, dedicated, and witty, but can also be overbearing, self-destructive, and preachy.
- This is likely a week when you want to reflect on your past successes. As your professional or school success continues to skyrocket, your sense of self-confidence follows suit. So do your relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners. Your mind is especially sharp, and your personal innovations should continue to progress. Life is good and likely to stay that way for a while.
Libra: Libras are kind, gentle, and lovers of beauty, harmony, and peace. However, in their effort to keep everyone happy, they find it difficult to say ‘no’ to anyone, and as a result, they end up getting stressed.
- Surprising developments in your life might bring new relationships. You could host a party or other sort of gathering to commemorate these new found friends. This is likely to keep you very busy throughout the week, but you will have fun all the same. This is the time to relax and enjoy your good fortune. Use it to your advantage.
Scorpio: Scorpios are seen as serious, known to keep their emotions hidden, are very intuitive, mysterious, and intense. They are known to have brilliant minds and be very controlling of the people and situations around them.
- Someone who’s a little belligerent and abrasive could interrupt your flow this week. This won’t sit well with you, but you aren’t the type to be confrontational. Don’t worry. Let the person have his or her say, then let everyone else debate. Enjoy yourself and learn from all the ideas, but also do not become completely passive.
Sagittarius: Sagittariuses are seen as being curious and energetic. They are one of the biggest travelers among all zodiac signs. Their open mind and philosophical views motivate them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life.
- An argument between you and a friend might cause you to wonder what you did wrong and whether you will ever be friends again. Chances are you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your friend may be having problems that they are too embarrassed to talk about. Wait a few days and call to see how things are. Your friend will feel more like talking, and all should be okay between you two.
Capricorn: Capricorns are all about hard work. They are very ambitious, determined, conservative, helpful, and practical. They are good team leaders, are known to have a single-minded focus, but can also be resentful and suspicious of others.
- Happiness is the mood of the week as you enjoy the fruits of all your hard work over the past few days. You’re able to pursue a few things that you’ve never been able to before. You’re likely surrounded by new friends and new romance. If all this sounds too good to be true, wake up! It’s happening!
Aquarius: Aquarians are shy and quiet, but on the other hand they can be eccentric and energetic. However, in both cases, they are deep thinkers and highly intellectual people who love helping others. They can see without prejudice on both sides, which makes them people who can easily solve problems.
- All the success and good fortune you’ve enjoyed over the past several months may have freed you from the grind enough to concentrate on spiritual or artistic interests. There may be a few surprises in store for you. You may meet some new people who share your interests and what you learn from them could improve your progress in the arts.
Pisces: Pisces are very friendly, so they often find themselves in a company of very different people. They are selfless, and always willing to help others without hoping to get anything back. They are characterized by empathy and expressed emotional capacity.
- Today you could experience a strong desire to clear your psyche of past traumas that limit you. You may decide to register for a seminar or workshop of some kind to try and make yourself more mindful of the now. If you sign up today, all signs are that you will not only attain the results you want but you will also meet some interesting new people. Go for it, and try to get the most out of it.
