The week ahead…

Monday, Feb. 2 – Sunday, Feb. 8, 2015

Aquarius: Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Friendly Mercury is inspiring you to set out on a new path. You could be thinking about moving somewhere, starting a different career, or checking out new jobs in your existing field. You’re ready to embrace great opportunities with life and with love.

Pisces: Feb. 19 – March 20
Venus and Mars are both in your sign right now, creating greater confidence than you have had in a while. It’s a great time to get into shape and sculpt that perfect body you’ve always dreamed of. It’s also a powerful time for dating, socializing, and enjoying your friends.

Aries: March 21 – April 19
It’s important for you to have a solid foundation beneath your relationship. If you’re unhappy because your partner isn’t paying his share of the bills or your girlfriend is spending more time with her friends than with you, Saturn says it’s OK to complain.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20
Remember what you learned from past romances. Don’t repeat the same mistakes. Venus is showing you that you need to adopt a clear-headed approach to love instead of acting solely on instinct. Impulsiveness will get you in trouble.

Gemini: May 21 – June 21
Your friends need you right now, and you could be super busy with social events. Mercury is creating a lot of flow for you with new people and old buddies. Enjoy sharing ideas, reflecting on your life and having some laughs.

Cancer: June 22 – July 22
Friendly Venus is increasing your desire to be with a special someone. If you’re single, you could ask somebody out or search for a new friend online. If you’re already involved, you’ll want to spend quality time with your sweetheart.

Leo: July 23 – Aug. 22
An intense full moon is bringing pent-up feelings to the surface. Maybe you’ll declare your love for someone after months of pining for him or her. Or perhaps you’ll vent your frustrations about something your honey has been doing that drives you crazy.

Virgo: Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Don’t put too much pressure on your significant other. Venus is creating a feeling of frustration, but try not to take it out on your partner. Instead, focus on self-improvement. Do things that you can easily control and achieve.

Libra: Sept. 23 – Oct. 23
You’re going back and forth about your feelings for someone. Maybe you love this person in some ways, but you’re worried that the two of you won’t remain compatible in the long run. Mercury is encouraging you to talk things out with a therapist or good friend.

Scorpio: Oct. 24 – Nov. 2
A practical moon is reminding you that relationships are a two way street. Your partner needs to be giving just as much as you are. Seek a better balance of give and take and don’t allow yourself to be drained of energy all the time.

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
You’re in the mood to get into some trouble as a sassy moon puts a skip in your step. You could say something provocative to a sexy acquaintance, daring him or her to react. Or you might flirt your socks off with someone you’ve just started to become interested in.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 – Jan.19
Don’t be too disappointed if you have troubles coordinating schedules with your honey. One of you might have to work late, or you could have an unexpected family emergency that takes up your time. The moon says the two of you will connect eventually.
