Your horoscope for January 31 to February 6, 2019

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      On Friday, Mars squares off with Pluto. In so doing, a holdup, block, or wall is surpassed. Ditch the pressures of the week just past in favour of some well-deserved me time. When it comes to working it out and choice-making, Mars in Aries makes the front-runner a more obvious pick. The one gains a significant lead over the rest.

      Venus ends her five-week tour of Sagittarius on Sunday, but before she does, she gains an energy boost from Uranus in Aries. Aim for something social, entertaining, athletic, or sports-oriented. Take it on in whatever way appeals to you best. On Sunday, Venus begins a four-week stint in Capricorn. Quality over quantity is where it’s at. Aim to get it better organized and under control, to evaluate and prioritize in more practical terms. For the rest of the month, a cautious approach to spending time, heart, and hard-earned money is wise, but if you/we hold back on the investment, you/we also hold back on the potential reward.

      Monday delivers a new moon in Aquarius, loaning more fuel to ruling planet Uranus, and to social politics, contemporary trends, and the roller-coaster experience. Personal reinvention, innovation, ingenuity, new projects, involvements, and initiatives are favoured. Tuesday begins the Chinese Year of the Earth Pig. The year ahead is wrapping up a long-in-the-works chapter, while at the same time it is shaping and accelerating the future course. Stay up to speed with reality; have courage; be a maker, a doer, a builder. Aim to get ahead of the change; don’t let it get the better of you.
