- The Moon is waning.
- Mercury is retrograde in Aquarius (until February 11th).

Horoscopes
Aries
You have Mars in your privacy sector, urging you to deal with endings, private matters, and behind the scenes activities that heal your soul, dear Aries, clashing with Jupiter in your expressive fifth house, stimulating your desire for drama, romance, and general fun. It’s no surprise that this can leave you sitting on a fence, not sure what to do next. Recent projects or endeavors may seem less “doable” with your extra need for alone time, rest, and privacy. Energy levels are not at their best. However, as the day advances, you’re seeing more and more opportunities through, of all things, responsibilities. Committing yourself to a goal, a cause, or a pet project can actually help bring you down to earth and get your mind off emotional conundrums.
Taurus
Today, you are likely to be feeling gung-ho about a person, an idea, or a feeling – whatever it is, you can feel especially alive and motivated, but do watch for mood swings, as there can be a slight tendency now to inflate a little too big, to the point of popping! Keep things real. Later today, you’re more able to do just that, dear Taurus. You are reminded of your commitments, in a pleasant way, and can feel especially good about working on a project or endeavor – one that’s designed to last. The famous Taurus patience kicks in, and you’re thinking in terms of what you’re building.
Gemini
This morning, you may be on the fence about a matter, as you realize that there may not be enough energy or time for all that you want to accomplish, dear Gemini. It can be difficult deciding what has to go, but you’ll be much better off if you pare down. While you are strongly motivated and competitive, you might also have some problems answering to authority. Learn when to tone things down and when to jump on opportunities. Later today, it’s a little easier to think in realistic terms. A commitment to make improvements comes easily.
Cancer
Satisfy your itch for more adventure in your life, dear Cancer, by mixing up your routine, learning new things, and reaching out to new people. These things can be free or near-free – avoid the line of thought that you have to spend to enjoy, which can be strong right now. Watch for extravagance or neglect when it comes to your money and income. Early today, circumstances may be such that you have to find a balance between responsibility and pleasure, and it may involve cutting out some activities or simply toning things down. Later today is strong for work, research, and investigation. Focusing on something absorbing can do wonders for your sense of purpose.
Leo
Today, while your aim is to see eye to eye with a special someone, as much as you try, a lack of synchronicity right now can interfere. Patience is necessary, but don’t get too worked up about it. You could be dealing with impatience or even aggressiveness in others. Take a step back if you are feeling uncomfortable. With Jupiter in your sign clashing with Mars in your solar eighth house, the need to pace yourself and conserve your energy becomes apparent now. You can be feeling energetic at times, and exhausted at others. You are optimistic, but energy and time are limited. As the day advances, you’re more inclined to find an area of focus and work towards a specific goal, and this helps your mood considerably.
Virgo
Do what you can to avoid overextending yourself today, dear Virgo. Others may be demanding a lot from you, when you really need extra rest and time to yourself. Make your boundaries clear, but try to find a compromise as well. As the day moves forward, there is good energy for applying yourself to something productive and purposeful, particularly related to work and home life. Restlessness is tamed by a pet project and something to focus your attention on. You can feel good about committing to something specific, and making headway.
Libra
You may be pouring a lot of energy into getting certain systems working well, dear Libra, and on organizing your daily life. Daily routines can be exhausting at times, and while you do want to handle this area of your life, today you may be thinking that something has to give, as the demands of friends or networking are strong as well. Something does have to give – but avoid thinking in terms of either/or or one or the other. Instead, try to cut back on both areas just a little. There is only so much time, and so much energy to draw upon.
Scorpio
You have a lot of energy for recreation these days, dear Scorpio, but you may have a sense that you’re missing out on opportunities to advance your goals as you pursue your creative and social dreams. If you don’t take extra time to consciously center yourself, you can easily be scattered and stressed out, feeling that you have too much on your plate. You can be especially enthused about a particular creative idea, but you need to pay due attention to responsibilities. As the day moves forward, focusing on family or a practical project can relieve stress, particularly if you cut out distractions and concentrate on one thing at a time, one step at a time.
Sagittarius
These days, even your home life could provide little relief from hustle and bustle, dear Sagittarius. Avoid taking on additional commitments or pushing your body too hard today. There is a tendency to say yes, fully thinking that you’re capable of handling it all, but you could be over-estimating the time and energy you actually have to fulfill promises. With all the attention on personal matters and home/family life, it can be difficult to satisfy your itch to escape or get away – even to learn new things. Finding a balance will be important, but consider that it likely means paring things down.
Capricorn
Early today, if you’ve been overdoing and scattering your energies, you’ll feel the stress, dear Capricorn. Time and energy are limited, and while you’re enthusiastic about a number of things, none of them will prosper if you can’t focus. As the day advances, you’ll come into your own. Your ruler, Saturn, is forming a pleasing angle with Vesta, goddess of commitment and dedication, and this helps you to see your priorities. When you’re feeling the self-discipline, you’re thriving, and this energy helps you to get back on track.
Aquarius
Early today, you may be running on a short fuse, dear Aquarius, so that even minor differences can grow into big problems. Try not to make assumptions prematurely, and attempt to tone things down. Impulsiveness with your money is possible now, and this may not sit well with a partner. You might also be quick to defend yourself or jump to the conclusion that you need to do so. As the day moves forward, emotions tend to settle, especially if you find a project or cause that excites you.
Pisces
You may have been feeling especially powerful and energetic these days, dear Pisces, and your love of freedom and independence is stimulated and pronounced with Mars in your sign. However, this morning, Mars clashes with Jupiter, and you could be feeling a little drained and lacking in direction or focus. Health or work needs attention, and perhaps you’ve taken on a little too much recently, and this is taking its toll. If you’ve been spreading yourself too thin, you’ll feel it now, and it may even impact your health, which of course can drain you further. Think in terms of what activities are true priorities and aim to cut out the extras, even just for the time being while you rebuild your strength and resolve.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on February 4th:
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).
