Feb. 3-9: Whatever your fears, if they ever come true you’ll have plenty of time to stress out about them later
By Jessica Lanyadoo
ARIES
March 21-April 19
No matter how chivalrous your motives, all bending of the truth can backfire and create more problems than it solves. There is no way around the stuff you’re dealing with, so take a path straight through it. Just remember to temper your realness with some levity so you don’t come off like a pushy jerk.
TAURUS
April 20-May 20
There is no way to go back in time to correct past mistakes, my bully buddy, and creating distractions won’t work either. Rather than obsess on what you can’t control, learn from your troubles by being humble and emotionally checked-in. Pry yourself away from the pity party, pal.
GEMINI
May 21-June 21
It’s hard to find your place in these fast-paced and abstract times. Look around and see where your trusted people are. Do you find them virtually, or are they people you can touch and see? You are in need of some tender human contact right now, and that will be rough if you don’t have a good social foundation.
CANCER
June 22-July 22
All things have their ebb and flow, which is a comfort in the tough times, but a total bummer when things are fierce. Endeavor to really enjoy your blessings while they are present. Whatever your fears, if they ever come true you’ll have plenty of time to stress out about them later.
LEO
July 23-Aug. 22
The thing about relationship troubles is that they always reveal some problem within yourself. Whether it’s your fear of being the “bad guy,” your resistance to confrontation, or a need to manage your temper tantrums, it’s time to figure out what you’re resisting. Look at yourself instead of the other person’s faults.
VIRGO
Aug. 23-Sept. 22
You have to have faith in yourself, Virgo, because you are on the right track — no matter how winding it may seem. Look directly at your issues without side-stepping the sticky stuff. Your anxieties tend to multiply when you go into avoidance, so clean up your messes and get on with it.
LIBRA
Sept. 23-Oct. 22
With Pluto in Capricorn and Saturn in your sign, it’s time to deal with time. Pay attention to how you pace yourself through good times and bad. Your tendency to rush around or skip over things is likely to get you in trouble, so try a little patience. Allow circumstances to reveal themselves to you.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23-Nov. 21
Relationships are so freakin’ complicated. You’ve got to keep hold of yourself while you let another person in, which is hard for a sign that prefers it all-or-nothing style. Practice being available yet grounded. You don’t have to be perfect. The key word here is practice.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22-Dec. 21
Emotional growth is tops, Sag, and you are one for heights. Watch out for taking a good thing and loving it so thoroughly that you wear it (and yourself) out, though. You are burning the good vibes candle at both ends, and you’re likely to get burned. Try taking a tiny time out and recharging. If you don’t, things are about to get really confusing.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22-Jan. 19
The more present you are emotionally, the more in control you’ll be. Kinda paradoxical, if you think about how unmanageable pesky emotions tend to be, but it’s true. You’ll find your greatest independence by being checked-in with your emotional integrity. It’s where all of your best decisions will come from, Cappy.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20-Feb. 18
Now is not the greatest moment in Aquarian history to start a new enterprise or get a new haircut, because you are a bit of a mess on the inside, honey. Get your worries together and tuck them into bed with a story about a better tomorrow. Strike out firmly and fiercely when you wake up and feel more solid, but not a moment sooner.
PISCES
Feb. 19-March 20
Nobody wins when you play the blame game, Pisces — least of all yourself. You need to let go of worrying over what others think about you, and figure out what you think. Now is not the time to follow others’ leads just because you don’t know what’s right. Reflect on what’s brewing in your insides and make some much needed changes.
