Your horoscope from February 4 to 10, 2016

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday? Or do you have something else in the works for your weekend? Even though the days before a new moon are usually quiet, a number of planetary contacts keep the energy well sparked.

      On Friday, Venus conjoins Pluto in the sign of Capricorn. This completion transit dovetails nicely with the end of the workweek and also with the end of the lunar-calendar year. It’s ideal for contract matters, actual or karmic, and for official wrap-ups and undertakings. Venus/Pluto also underscores the importance of time passages, goal posts, deadlines, and finish lines. A now-or-never feel accompanies the moment. Mortality, survival, border issues, and legal rulings also get our attention. Watch for a significant set-it-in-stone action from those who govern, rule, protect, own, or manufacture.

      The weekend’s stars are also on a springboard trajectory. Sunday is game day, but Saturday has more going for it; sun/Uranus, Venus/Uranus, and Mercury/Jupiter keep the energy fresh, upbeat, lucrative, and stimulating. Make money or spend it; explore new ideas, products, or hot spots; enjoy the show or the party; catch up with friends. Try a first date and/or get to know someone a whole lot better.

      The betting pools lean toward a no-surprise outcome for Super Bowl Sunday. No matter who wins, we’ll certainly get our entertainment fill.

      Monday’s new moon (6:39 a.m.) ushers in the Lunar New Year of the Fire Monkey, suggesting that it’s wise to stay sharp, curious, and informed. That mental agility, a quick wit, and creative smarts are the best tools for meeting the year ahead.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      You’ll get good and perhaps even great value out of this one. Setting the future into play, Friday’s Venus/Pluto begins a new nine-month build-it-better and/or build-more cycle. Social, romantic, or on your own, Saturday/Sunday delivers the goods. Let the weekend unfold or fire it up yourself. New-moon Monday through Wednesday is particularly smooth, productive, and lucrative.

      Taurus
      April 20- May 21

      Set a goal, aim for a high bar; you’ll cover substantial ground and make great gains, especially Friday/Saturday and Tuesday/Wednesday. Sign a contract, say “I do”, spend, get what you want and deserve. Venus/Pluto and Venus/Jupiter can bring reward, recognition, results, an event to attend, or an opportunity to meet with someone of significance. A presentation, an exhibition, or an interview should net a favourable response.

      Gemini
      May 20 - June 20

      Friday/Saturday the stars aim to get it settled, finalized, or finished. Feel confident signing a mortgage or making a major purchase or commitment. You’ll learn where you stand with another and they with you. While Saturday is your best day to communicate or connect, it isn’t your only window. Sunday/Monday also lights a good spark. Tuesday/Wednesday keeps it flowing easily and well.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Now through Sunday is especially productive for a work-it-out, talk-it-out, or think tank. Connect with friends, hire an agent, bargain-hunt, seek advice, ask more questions, bring yourself/it up to speed. Regarding the money chase or matters of the heart, Tuesday/Wednesday is also optimal, perhaps even luck-generating. Stay open-minded and openhearted. Give a lot and you’ll get plenty in return.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Thanks to Friday’s Venus/Pluto working through a completion program, you should feel that the workweek has come to a successful wrap-up and that you’re sorting out what’s necessary. Saturday/Sunday is great for socializing and/or checking out the local action. Sun, Venus, Uranus, and Monday’s new moon set you on a fresh-page quick start. Tuesday/Wednesday, you can be easily swayed, impressed, or romanced.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      A sense of accomplishment or relief (perhaps both) finishes off your workweek. You deserve a reward! Enjoy an evening out or buy yourself a treat. Saturday/Sunday, socialize or try something new on for size. You’ll find no lack of interesting conversation and topics. Tuesday/Wednesday, your imagination, attention, or heart can be easily swept away; your budget or practicality can disappear too.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Friday can put the finishing touch on something important; it could be something actual and material, a state of mind, or a state of heart. A special event or occasion keeps the weekend busy and upbeat. Along with Tuesday’s Venus/Jupiter, the Lunar New Year’s new moon can boost your creativity, social life, love life, and career prospects.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      What’s simple or easiest is also best. Straightforward is the way to play it on Friday. Saturday through Monday, it goes “pop”. Don’t you just love it when it comes so easily and works out so well? A profitable week lies ahead. A new project, goal, and/or lifestyle change is favoured by Monday’s new moon. Venus/Jupiter benefits money and love-life prospects.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Thursday/Friday, you’ll nail it down well. Saturday/Sunday is ideal for a fresh infusion. Mercury/Jupiter keeps the fun and the good ideas going strong. You’re sure to get great mileage out of recreations and conversations. A social or romantic spark is quick to light. The Lunar New Year’s new moon could see you hit a faster upswing and/or get you out of the gate unexpectedly.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      By the end of the week, you’ll have made a great touchdown. Rustle up something social, aim for fresh air, or wait for the moment to deliver; the weekend’s entertainment stays on a ready dial-up. The earlier the better on Monday, but there’s no need to sweat or strain. Venus/Jupiter makes for a smooth sail through Wednesday.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      Friday’s Venus/Pluto and Saturday’s Mercury/Jupiter are both confidence and security boosters. They should simplify decision-making and give you a sense that you’re moving in the right direction. Planned or not, an upbeat, on-the-go, and entertaining weekend lies ahead. A fresh spark signals the start of a whole lot more. Tuesday/Wednesday keeps it rolling well.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      Friday is an ideal day to sign it, seal it, or deliver it. Make it business, pleasure, or mix the two together: the weekend delivers the goods and then some. As well, Saturday through Monday can spark a new perspective, love interest, or creative track. Tuesday/Wednesday, the Pisces moon loans you the Midas touch.
