Horoscopes
Aries
There is strong energy this week for releasing yourself from the past in some manner, dear Aries, and this is especially so when it comes to relationships and possibly financial burdens. Even so, for others, there can be a tendency to feel stuck in the past or to romanticize it – it all depends on how you use the energy available now. You are very in touch with your compassion and your ability to forgive, and something private or secret can be magnetically appealing. You are seeing the subtler side of things and people. You may have to watch for idealizing a matter to the point of being unrealistic. Some of you could be called upon to help someone out. Making personal sacrifices seems to come naturally right now.
Taurus
You’re looking at relationships in a different way this week, dear Taurus, and today, it’s a more compassionate or idealistic perspective. It’s a good time for fixing problems or forgiving something/someone. The day is best thought of as and idea/feeling day rather than one for taking definite action. The only problem with seeing things in a dreamy way may be failing to draw the line, and seeing real life as depressing. Try not to assign inhuman traits to people today, and you’ll do well. For some of you, a friend can be a source of comfort, or you may be providing an understanding shoulder to a friend. You are especially appealing in a gentle way and possibly a little mysterious to others today, drawing people’s attention. There can be subtle improvements to a friendship or your social life.
Gemini
There can be more openness and compassion expressed and felt today, dear Gemini, although practicality and productivity may take a hit. You may be entertaining wonderful possibilities for your future, but it will be important to maintain a sense of proportion. You have high hopes about the direction you’re taking now, and more faith that things will fall into place, even without a definite plan. Fuelling you right now is inspiration. Of course, details will eventually need to be filled in. Today, it’s more about dreaming and imagining. Your mind is very open now, and at times, it may be so open that you are overwhelmed with choices.
Cancer
It’s easier than usual for you to lift yourself above the clatter of everyday life right now, dear Cancer. Thoughts turn to larger matters. New worlds are opening up to you as you expand your vision, and your imagination is running a little wild. There can be new interests and a longing for new experiences as well. Romantic impulses are very strong today, but consider that you may not be seeing a romantic interest very clearly right now. Dream a dream, but keep real-world expectations human. Escapist tendencies are powerful right now – remember that anchoring activities may not be glamorous but can help keep you feeling secure and supported. This is a strong time for forgiveness, compassion, and new understanding. Aim to make peace with the past.
Leo
Your imagination soars and you are able to see beauty in odd or simply wonderful places today, dear Leo. You’re picking up more “signals” than usual, and while they may or may not be accurate, you’re certainly seeing life in a different, dreamy, and inspiring way right now. Yearnings are powerful today, and can possibly dominate your thinking now. Your intimate world expands, there can be some drama or a mystery unfolding now that intrigues you and draws you in, and there can be great pleasure in private time or moments. A mystery can enchant you. There may also be a strong desire to merge with, or place your faith and trust in, another person. This may not be the best time to lend/borrow, however.
Virgo
It can be easier than usual for you to be swayed today, dear Virgo, as you can be yearning to feel special, to be made to feel special by someone else, and to want to believe in someone. Kept in check, this can point to a rather magical time when you might forgive someone, or yourself, and move forward. Or, you could thoroughly enjoy a relationship as you see beauty in its imperfections. It can be healing to treat others with the kind of graciousness, mercy, and compassion you’d like in return. Somebody may also be showing you special kindness. Just keep in mind that you have a tendency to romanticize people and situations now. This is a good time to set intentions to improve your relationships going forward.
Libra
With your ruler, Venus, joining Neptune in your work and health sector today, dear Libra, your inclinations to want to help out and support others are well-developed. So is your idealistic side, as you’re very prone to romanticize or glamorize your relationships or situations and people in your life right now. Certainly, you’re in need of some fantasy and escape! Ideas are creative and feelings are compassionate. People are very drawn to you, and it can be difficult saying no and drawing boundaries, but you don’t have to answer all requests. Personal magnetism, especially your mystique factor, runs high.
Scorpio
You can be especially inspired to express your feelings or emotions in unique ways today, dear Scorpio. Your tendency to glamorize, fantasize, or romanticize people, situations, and relationships can also be powerful. This can be an inspiring, imaginative day for a creative project as well. Children, lovers, a creative endeavor, or a favorite pastime can provide a pleasing detour from stress and a nice form of escape. Keep everything in proportion for best results. If you expect too much from a regular day, then you could feel a little let down. Otherwise, it’s a fine day for finding beauty in what you have; perfection in imperfections.
Sagittarius
You can have a stronger urge than usual to harmonize with others and to find comfort and understanding in loved ones or the home today, dear Sagittarius. There is certainly more sensitivity to things that may be out of synch or not quite right, but if you are willing to see the good and beauty of imperfection, then this can be a lovely, dreamy, warm day. What you are seeking is unconditional love and acceptance, and giving the same can certainly help, although it’s important to avoid expecting instant results. With expectations reasonable, this can be a good day for a bit of an escape from recent pressures. Activities, particularly at home or with family, that engage your imagination are right up your alley today.
Capricorn
Today is good for seeing the bigger picture and enjoying a stronger sense of well-being as a result, dear Capricorn. You might also find ways to communicate more effectively – in a more open, humble, and progressive manner – which can benefit you not only today but as you go forward as well. News coming in, or a conversation you have, can be inspiring, forgiving, or relieving. You thrive most when your imagination is engaged today, and you can thoroughly enjoy helping others or sharing ideas now. You can enjoy the day most if you don’t allow yourself to be too carried away by an idea, however, as there is a tendency to gloss over the facts and to see what we want to see, in people and situations. You may feel quite wonderful to adopt a go-with-the-flow attitude now – exercise patience, forgiveness, and understanding.
Aquarius
You can crave understanding and appreciation from others today, dear Aquarius, and sharing values as well as mutual respect in a relationship is what you’re striving towards. You are especially generous today with Venus and Neptune coming together in your money and values sector, but be sure to draw some boundaries and avoid going overboard or surpassing your capacity level with this. There can be a desire to forgive, forget, and let bygones be bygones. You are not seeing things very realistically now, but your imagination is engaged, and you can really enjoy a little escape from the routine now.
Pisces
People are especially drawn to you and intrigued with you today as Venus meets Neptune in your sign, dear Pisces. You have much in the way of quiet and subtle power right now, but do be careful how you use this, as there can be a tendency to play into others’ fantasies. The intention is not poor – you simply don’t want to let someone down – but in the long run, it’s best to be straightforward with others. You are getting noticed now, and making an interesting first impression. This is a strong time for romance, attraction, and the creative arts. You are radiating healing, mysterious, and warm energy.

You are such a sympathetic and understanding person that you are often caught in the role of mother to your loved ones.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 1st:
Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
