Your lookahead horoscope: February 9, 2025

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

If you set yourself objectives and go after them with energy and enthusiasm there is no doubt you will reach them this year. Don’t tie yourself down with detailed plans or fixed deadlines, just follow your instincts and allow the universe to guide you.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If you allow yourself to believe that all you have to do is snap your fingers and the world will come running then what does and does not happen over the coming week will disappoint you. The only help you need is the help you give yourself.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Relationships are under pretty good stars at the moment but you must expect some opposition around the time of the full moon on the 12th. Both at home and at work it may take a great deal of self-control not to lose your cool with certain people.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

If a colleague makes you an offer of some kind by all means consider it but don’t sign up before you know all the ins and outs of what it might require of you. What you are expected to put in may be higher than what you get out.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

The approaching full moon will cut across the financial axis of your chart, so money matters and business issues could be a bit of a challenge. Don’t focus on them to the exclusion of everything else though. Make lots of time for the people you love.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Because Wednesday’s full moon takes place in your sign you could find yourself at odds with someone you usually get along with very well. The good news is if you do have a falling out it won’t last for long. You’re still on the same wavelength.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

There will be times this week when you don’t know whether to laugh or cry and most likely you will do both. With so many ridiculous things going on in the world, refusing to get upset is the safest course of action by far.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Something you once had high hopes for will be reduced to little more than a daydream over the next few days but that’s probably a good thing. You will need to be relentlessly rational if you are to make progress toward your long-term goals.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You must start the week in a positive frame of mind, because if you allow negative thoughts to creep in you may find it impossible to cheer yourself up again. Count your blessings, celebrate your successes, and ignore the occasional setback.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

There is no point worrying either about things you cannot change or about changes that are going to happen whether you like it or not. Put all of that out of your mind over the next few days and resolve to have fun. It’s the only sensible choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Why do bad things happen to good people? Because this is an imperfect world and even good people get caught on the wrong side of events. Bear that thought in mind this week and try not to take anything, including yourself, too seriously.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

As this week’s full moon takes place in your opposite sign a clash of wills is inevitable, but it need not be destructive. Promise yourself now that you will strive to see situations from the other person’s point of view as well as your own.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If you find that your workload increases dramatically around the time of the full moon on the 12th don’t despair. This is only a passing phase and if you work slowly and surely through what you have to do you will soon be on top of things again.
