Libra Moon Sings ‘Both Sides Now’
The first day of February brings a lunar change and some Plutonian drama, perhaps acutely felt but of minimal consequence. The important thing to note is that feelings are like clouds, constantly changing shape, moving along, more dancer than scenery and, though we may identify with a feeling deeply, it will never be the entirety of who we are.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19). It only takes a moment to be someone’s champion. Seeing someone’s efforts, learning about their process and offering words of support will be very easy for you and have disproportionate positive impact.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20). You’re a hard and disciplined worker. When it’s time to play, you’re equally intent on getting the most out of your experience. Your ideal company will be as playful and spontaneous as you are.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 21). It’s normal for curiosity, energy, interest and drive to wax and wane. You won’t depend on the fickle forces of external motivation to get you to the goal; rather, you’ll apply yourself to create ingrained habits.
CANCER
(June 22-July 22). If you want to see what you can do on your own, the world will get out of your way with minimal direction from you. However, just know that if you want help or company for anything at all, just call out and it will come.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22). The mysteries worth exploring will not offer you easy answers; rather, they are tickets to an experience. Open your eyes, ears and heart to observe and absorb, but don’t expect any of it to make sense. It is awareness, not comprehension that will propel your growth.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You do not wish anyone to be inconvenienced on your behalf. You are already content and free to choose collaborations and arrangements of mutual benefit. If there is no joy in the transaction, it is not worth your attention.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s a day to avoid a “too many cooks in the kitchen” situation. Advice and efforts coming from too many directions will only get confusing. Trust yourself because you’ve an instinct for finding the most direct route to what you need.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For best results, choose one important task to focus on and stick with it until you finish, or until a meaningful marker is hit. Otherwise, your energy could be diffused by bouncing around in too many different directions, leaving you with a sense that nothing of note was accomplished.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22Dec. 21). You are empathetic and quick to forgive, not because you’re a saint, but because moving on makes life easier. So, you let go of everything that’s keeping you from stepping forward. Letting them off the hook lets you off too.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be getting to know new people and figuring out what you have in common and how you might work or play together. Make sure that what you want to accomplish is the same thing they want to accomplish.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Kindness is a beacon, illuminating the path of compassion for all. Your empathy will seed a supportive environment where people feel truly understood; this will be a source of great pride and joy.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20). You’re a giver, it’s true. However, it’s not always best to rush in and give everything you think would be helpful. True help is collaborative and bespoke. It listens. Let people show you what they need first.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Feb. 1). You navigate through challenges with grace and poise, giving a master class in resilience. You’ll often have a rapt audience and you’ll sometimes be surprised by who is in it. You’ll be paid and promoted. More highlights: You’ll shine in a difficult test, there’s resolution for what ailed your people, and you’ll build on a legacy and create new delights. Aries and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 9, 18, 40 and 12.
