The beginning of February may feel kind of dicey and frazzled. We are holding a tension of extreme opposites and stress is high. You have a pie-in- the- sky dream and at the same time, the details of the daily grind are overwhelming. You may erratically hop into things and then want to jump ship. It is hard to make up your mind. Direct sustained disciplined effort to new fulfillment. Just after Valentine’s Day there is a jolt of fresh energy. Take a risk and venture into uncharted waters.

Aries
March 21 – April 20
It is hard to define, but uneasiness seems to be undermining your direction and disorganizing you. Maybe an impossible dream is beckoning you. Keep your feet on the ground; someone could be spinning a scam. Mid-month, your social life can be very active.

Taurus
April 21 – May 20
You may be busy saving the world, but pay attention to your kids. They need your support now. If you don’t have kids, your inner child has a little tear in its eye. Mid-month, cultivate an unconventional friendship.

Gemini
May 21– June 21
What your parents and grandparents taught you about work is being challenged. If you are itching to break free or get if you get downsized, aim higher and research your next step. Mid- month, use your natural humor to stay on the sunny side.

Cancer
June 22 – July 22
Take a sabbatical from those hours of e-mails and texts. It has been hard to get your message across anyway. Take a mental health day off of work and watch Oprah for some inspiration. Mid-month you can adopt a new attitude.

Leo
July 23 – August 22
Everyone may have gone from riches to rags, but you might have an idea that will swing you back to riches. Conquer any fears that keep you from focusing on careful details and pace yourself. Mid-month, cooperate with whomever Spirit puts into your life.

Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Someone out there is being ditzy and you have to play the heavy. Let their need for space give you a new perspective on your own true needs. Mid-month, change your schedule and take time to look at the sky when you are getting into your car.

Libra
September 23 – October 22
You may be feeling soul-sick and don’t know where it is coming from. Get out your corny self-help books and start every day with spiritual connection and positive affirmations. Apply the lyrics of Madonna’s song “Express Yourself” to yourself.

Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
You are outgrowing some friends and are over-extended with committee work. At the same time the kids are running wild or you might have an inappropriate crush on someone. Be judicious about which bridges you want to burn. Mid-month, visit someone who always makes you laugh.

Sagittarius
November 23 – December 21
The world is pressuring you to fame in your career. At the same time, you dream of letting everything go and opening that little bed-and breakfast at the beach. Maximize the opportunities you have now, but take as many getaways as you can. Mid-month, subscribe to a new magazine.

Capricorn
December 22 – January 20
Your whole personality is being reconstructed. If you are worrying to death, apply the idea, “Maybe I don’t have a concept for these changes yet.” Mid-month, put a personal Declaration of Independence into writing.

Aquarius
January 21 – February 19
You can be stubborn and it is particularly hard to compromise now. Remember, what you resist persists. Any trials with your body can direct you to examine what is really important in life. Mid-month, direct your burst of physical energy in an imaginative way.

Pisces
February 20-March 20
Someone is being a wet blanket, but you trained him or her to depend on you. Stay calm and practice drawing new boundary lines. “ I gotta be me” has some truth in it. Mid-month, try a new meditation method.
