Happy Birthday for Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024:
You are multitalented. You are original, witty and quick to size up a situation. You have your own way of thinking and doing things. This is a slower paced year. It’s time to rejuvenate yourself. Explore meditation, yoga, tai chi or whatever discipline helps to ground you.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★★
Be aware of the limitations of the Moon Alert. Meanwhile, this is another day where people are pushy and prickly. Instead, go with what’s working, and what is working is that you’re popular. Everyone wants to see your face! Get out and flash your pearly whites. Tonight: Check your finances.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★★
Today is another challenging day, because issues with others might trigger power struggles. Nevertheless, you’re in the middle of a four-week window when the Sun is at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. You look good to everyone! Make your pitch. (Check the Moon Alert.) Tonight: Cooperate.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Power struggles and arguments about politics and religion continue today. However, you can sidestep these and think about future travel plans or what you can do to enrich your daily world. Maybe you can explore your own city. What can you learn that is interesting? Tonight: Get organized.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★★
Money squabbles as well as arguments about territory, boundaries and responsibility might continue to be a drag. Before you agree to anything important, check the Moon Alert, because it lasts for 12 hours! Fortunately, relations with friends and partners are supportive. Tonight: Socialize!
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★
Get more rest. Avoid power struggles with partners and close friends today. This is a good day to relax at home among familiar surroundings. However, don’t get caught up in family squabbles. Chill out and enjoy yourself. If shopping or making decisions, check the Moon Alert. Tonight: Cocoon at home.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
This is a productive time for you, and yet, it’s also a playful time. Oh yeah, work hard, party hard! However, this week (including today) you have to dodge quarrels and power struggles with others. Don’t get involved. Protect your peace of mind. Be aware of the Moon Alert today. Tonight: Conversations!
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You might be redecorating, tackling home repairs or entertaining because you’re energetic and sociable. It’s the perfect time for a vacation! Unfortunately, tension with kids and romantic partners still continues. Sidestep these if you can. (See the Moon Alert.) Tonight: Maintain your belongings.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Later today, the Moon will move into your sign, which could make you a bit excitable, especially when dealing with parents or family members. Don’t lose your cool. (And remember how intimidating you can be even if you don’t think so.) Check the Moon Alert today. Tonight: You win!
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
This is a fast-paced time for you, and you’re eager to learn as well as communicate with others. In part, this is why you might get caught up in a power struggle with someone. Before you go off on a tangent, ask yourself if it is worth it. Don’t lose friends by squabbling. Be cool. Tonight: Solitude.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★★
Disagreements or power struggles with friends and members of groups might arise today, especially about financial matters or different values. Let’s face it, we all have different values. Some prefer bread; some prefer rice; some prefer vodka (oops, potatoes.) That’s life. Tonight: Be friendly.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Be aware that later in the day, when the Moon changes signs (see the Moon Alert), you will suddenly become high-viz. People will notice you. Meanwhile, you don’t need a public argument in an elevator. Or anywhere else. Take the high road. (The view is better.) Tonight: Show respect.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Later in the day, you might find yourself embroiled in political or philosophical arguments or power struggles. Is this how you want to spend your day? Instead, you can enjoy the company of younger, creative and artistic people and have fun. (No-brainer.) Tonight: Explore!
