Horoscopes
Aries
People may be seeking your advice on business, work, and leadership matters today, dear Aries, and while communications have been tricky, you’re learning much about your capabilities and entertaining some exciting new ideas in the process. Consider strategies for rolling things out in good time, even though you’re enthusiastic about putting your ideas into motion. Emotionally, there can be insight gained that helps you break free from a feeling of being restricted or limited. Communications tend to be supportive, which is a nice change from the abruptness of recent days. The Moon is in your sign all day, energizing you and inspiring a fresh start, and as it connects to Mars as well, you’re itching to get going.
Taurus
You can inspire people with your ideas and encourage them to speak about their dreams and hopes with your willingness to listen, dear Taurus. You’re an excellent counselor or guide as you quite naturally share what you’ve learned from personal experience. Emotional blocks can loosen through sensitive communications. The Moon is in your sector of rest and recuperation all day, but while this often stimulates a desire to take a break from an active pace, you have Mars in this sector as well, and you can feel especially motivated to figure out a problem or handle unfinished business.
Gemini
Your ruler, Mercury, is getting in the middle of a conflict between Jupiter and Uranus this week, dear Gemini, and this can lead to some frayed nerves and problems trusting your perceptions. However, today, Mercury harmonizes with Chiron, giving you a key to handling this temperamental energy. You are in a good position to heal yourself or a relationship through the insights you gain now. You may readily identify destructive habits or attitudes that have been holding you back. The better you know yourself, the better your choices will be, and today holds breakthrough energy for self-understanding. In fact, it may be through conversations with others that you gain this insight. Your ability to hone in on exactly what a person is looking for and for seeing through the layers is attractive now.
Cancer
These days can be a little tense as you attempt to break free from rigid thinking and discover new interests and attitudes, dear Cancer. However, today’s energies may offer some respite. There can be sensitive conversations that help heal and build your confidence. Shared ideals or beliefs can be discovered and may be a genuine source of comfort. Your willingness to listen is in demand now. The Moon is at the top of your chart today and aligns with action-oriented Mars, energizing your ambitions and stimulating your desire to initiate and pioneer – you want to be first, act independently, and shine as you do. This is an enterprising time – and month ahead.
Leo
Your intuition for research is strong in general, dear Leo, and is pronounced today as you seem to gravitate to the right information you need. As well, you are excellent at honing in on others’ vulnerabilities and helping them feel a little more comfortable. Today’s conversations can be supportive and revealing. You may be privy to information about healing or alternative health methods now, as you seem to have a particular interest in getting well or improving from the inside out. With an increased willingness to listen, there can be meaningful insights into a partner or your inner workings now. There is also good energy for taking the lead, venturing out, and activities with a partner today. Your adventurous, exploratory side emerges and demands attention now.
Virgo
This can be an excellent day for understanding and connecting with someone special, dear Virgo. There can be the chance to forgive or heal a sore spot with someone now, and opening up is the key. Plans can come together in an almost magical way now, and your words or willingness to listen can heal. A romantic bond may be enhanced, or a connection can move to a new level. Your sensitivity to others’ troubles comes from your own struggles, and your personal wisdom can help others. You may be attracting people into your life, or attracted to people, who have unusual ideas and opinions, or alternative lifestyles.
Libra
There is wonderful charm in your approach to others today, dear Libra. It’s a time for being direct and forthright, as this is the path that goes over particularly well with today’s energies. You can also be especially interested in helping out others today. Conversations about work and health can be positive and productive, leading to substantial changes. There is good energy for interactions with family and loved ones, as well as for organizing home and work affairs. Problem-solving skills are tremendous now, and conversations can be open, accepting, and supportive.
Scorpio
The day can be powerful for tapping into your intuition and for mental wellness, dear Scorpio. Self-expression comes easily and naturally. A sincere desire to help and guide is with you today, and you’re particularly good at helping others understand themselves because you relate so well to their troubles. There is a sensitive, open, and positive energy that softens your guard just enough to share things with others that you previously kept to yourself. As well, the Moon is in your work and health sector all day, stimulating your desire to get things into order, and with Mars here as well, you’re raring to go. Increased energy is with you for getting organized.
Sagittarius
These days can be tricky when it comes to communications, dear Sagittarius, but some relief can come today, so take advantage. Use this time to make your intentions known. People are willing to listen and are more humble than usual, which is essential for learning from one another. There can be more clarity or insight into a matter related to business, money, valuables, or ownership. Communications are effective today because they are working on more than the literal level – emotional layers help flesh things out and add meaning to our conversations. The day is also strong for sharing ideas and affection, reaching out to others, and romantic expression.
Capricorn
You have special emotional insight into others’ problems today, dear Capricorn, and you can help others understand themselves and their lives more clearly. It’s a good time to smooth over differences, but also to gently push boundaries so that you can move beyond small talk towards topics that lead to growth. Natural talents with writing and teaching can emerge today. You might gravitate towards information that turns you on to a new and exciting interest or hobby. With the Moon in your family and home sector, you’re inclined to focus on domestic and personal themes, and with Mars here, actively solving problems or participating in activities related to family and home life are favored.
Aquarius
This is a strong day for communicating, dear Aquarius, and getting your message across, which comes at a good time sandwiched between two days in which it can be a struggle being understood. While you can be feeling sociable and outgoing, there is much going on inside you, and there is a forgiving, easy energy to the day that supports speaking with less guardedness or fear. You might decide to talk through a problem or dilemma, and helping someone may end up helping you as well. Humble confidence is necessary now, and truly pushes things forward. This is also a good time for healing methods that involve body work, such as massage or yoga.
Pisces
You are more confident than usual about your talents and worth today, dear Pisces, and business can get a boost as a result. Even so, this is also a potentially strong day for your personal life. It’s an excellent time to bring up a topic that’s dear to your heart with someone you care about. There can be support from or for a friend. Relationships can be up and down this week, but you’re also coming to a better understanding of someone and your own needs from your connections. Your natural talents may be on show in some way today. Others are finding you attractive, and they’re particularly impressed with your ability to follow your own code and think outside the box. Your originality is appreciated today.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
PISCES STRONG
Compassionate, sensitive, self-sacrificing, gentle, intuitive. Can be escapist, impractical, hyper- sensitive, gullible.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and we can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
LUNAR PHASE: CRESCENT
Moon 45 to 90 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an eager, impulsive, and progressive time. We are motivated and ready to take on challenges.
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 involving inner planets 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 involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
