Your lookahead horoscope: February 2

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The message of your birthday chart is that you need to make more of the talents you were born with. Yes, you’ve done well up until now but deep down you know you could be doing ten times better, so spread your creative wings and soar.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Values planet Venus moves into your sign this week, so anything to do with love and beauty will go well for you. Disputes and disagreements will also be easier to handle as you become more laidback about life and its trials than you usually are.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The message of the stars for the week ahead is that you need to slow down and maybe even switch off altogether for a while. If you continue racing ahead at your current speed then sooner or later you are going to hit some kind of wall.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You will be in a party mood over the next few days and no matter what your chores and responsibilities may be you can and you must find time to get out and about and have a good time with your friends. Life is supposed to be fun.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

The best way to move up on the work front is to impress people in positions of power and the best way to do that is to show them you can be central to their plans. Be ambitious this week but be a great team player as well.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The more you are on the move over the next few days the more you will enjoy yourself and the more opportunities to shine will arise. Don’t sit at home or spend endless hours in the office, get out into the world and show what you can do.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

According to the planets you have a secret admirer and at some point this week they will drop some pretty big hints that they want to get to know you better. If your nose is stuck in your work you may miss those hints, so look up occasionally!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Your ruling planet Venus moves into your opposite sign this week and that is a very good omen for one-to-one relationships. If you make a point of smiling at and being nice to everyone you meet they will respond in heartwarming ways.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The fact that you disapprove of someone’s lifestyle and values is irrelevant when it comes to doing business with them. Put your personal feelings aside this week and find ways to maximize your profits. You can go your separate ways after that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

It is of the utmost importance that you bring other people into your plans over the coming week. If you insist on going your own way and doing your own thing you won’t get far but you will annoy colleagues who should be your friends.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

With love planet Venus moving into the domestic area of your chart this week your No. 1 aim must be to spend as much time as possible with partners and relatives. Yes, of course, your work is important but it will never come close to family ties.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If other people want to wallow in misery that’s up to them, but you are under no obligation to join them. The world is a wonderful place and it won’t take much of an effort this week to find reasons to smile, and maybe laugh and sing as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

As some kind of burden is lifted from your back this week your first impulse will be to get out and about and have the time of your life. And that is exactly what you should do. Try not to spend every last cent of your money though.
