Your weekly horoscope: February 1 – 7, 2017

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18 When you choose to invest in something (or someone), you do it because you believe it’ll make you happy. Buyer’s remorse is real though; you may think you want something, but you might end up feel burdened instead of better once when you get it. This week, you may have a bit of that to contend with. Look for the bigger picture at play under the surface. Investigate your ideas about happiness, Aquarius. Better understand what you think is possible, how you go about getting it, and what you do once you’ve got it.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20
The world is currently a place of tumult and it’s destabilizing for everyone, but especially for those like you, who are sensitive to the energy of people around you. Be mindful of who you spend time around this week. You’re in need of serious self-care, and if someone is making you feel shaky or worse, you don’t need to spend time with them. Don’t wait until you hit a wall to enact your boundaries. Acknowledge your need for calm this week.

Aries

March 21 – April 19
This week is a great time for reflecting, but that’s not what you’re most likely to do. Be careful of being a know-it-all. Even if you’re right as rain in a dry spell, no one wants to be preached. Let the truth inspire your imagination and direct your plans, and try not to give into the desire to force others to drink your Aries Kool-Aid. Stay emotionally present when people don’t agree with you. Once you’ve said your piece, it’s your turn to be an excellent listener.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20
How well you’ve put your life together is a debatable topic, Taurus. It all depends on your metrics. If all you do is consider the external checkpoints of success, you may be dealing with low-key anxiety while losing track of why or where it’s coming from. Pretend that you’re your own best friend, and give yourself the advice you think you really need. How can you be happier with your life? If you pay attention, this week will reveal what is and isn’t working for you.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21 This week will give you the energy boost you need to get yourself into gear. Your synapses are on fire, and you’re making connections that work. The trick is to stay focused and not spread your efforts over too wide a landscape. You’re capable of so much, but you ultimately have to make a choice: Do you want to do a bit of everything or go deep into one or two things? The choice is yours, Twin Star, and it’s time for you to decide.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22 Things are settling but not necessarily in a pleasant way. You have to answer for your actions, Moonchild. Even if you think you’re innocent, you don’t get to decide for others how you make them feel. Get ready to eat some humble pie this week, my love. There is nothing wrong with making mistakes or going through a learning curve in your development. Just own where you’re at, and moving forward, strive to do better when and how you can.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22
Love is perplexing. There’s how you feel, and then there’s how you act. It’s not enough to mean well, you have to act right too, Leo. You may be feeling great when someone comes out of the woodwork with a backlog of complaints. But don’t be so cavalier with other people’s feelings, even if dealing with them harshes your mellow. If you’re willing to be honest, you can have clarifying conversations that bring you closer to the people you care about. Step up, my love.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Watch your spending. If you have a tendency to shop your feelings away, you can expect to feel like you just have to get that fake fur centrepiece, but trust that you don’t. Stay with the restless parts of your feelings that make you want to go out and collect. What you really need is some meaningful time with your friends or Dear Diary to get deep about what’s been going on inside of you. It’s time to unpack your issues, not add more distractions.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
You have the right to think or say whatever you want, Libra, but so do others. This week you may be feeling uncharacteristically mouthy, and while I like it, others may not. Make sure that you don’t say your piece with defensiveness or without first checking to see if the other person is open to hearing it. This is a great time for getting to the heart of matters, but you may find other messy parts while you’re there. Don’t be scared of the truth.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
You’re likely to have some feelings about your lifestyle this week, Scorpio, and it’s right on time. Take an honest look at your work-life balance: are you getting joy value from the things that you devote most of your time to? If not, this is the time to confront what isn’t working and to visualize a plan. If you’re making compromises with your life, strive to have them be intentional and purposeful. This is your one life to live, and you deserve to do it right.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
There’s a fine line between excitement and anxiety, and sometimes it’s hard to tell them apart. The chatter in your head may be extra all over the place, and it’s important that you take the time to find your center. If you indulge nervous thinking, it will leave you feeling exhausted and confused, which will only make matters worse. Use your body as a tool for finding calm: hit the gym, dance till you drop, or get out in nature. Connect with the material to find peace this week.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
You may be feeling extra chatty this week, and that’s awesome. In fact, it’s a great time for connecting with friends, doing any kind of networking, or making plans. The only downside is that you may be so busy having genius thoughts that you miss out on the little things. Pursue big-picture thinking, but then rein it in, Cappy. Make sure to listen closely to what others are saying and to double check your work, especially if you’re feeling extra excited or distracted.
