For Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2021

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Welcome this chance to hear from old friends or members of groups who you have not heard from in a while. It's good to have history with others.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Many of you are in touch with parents, bosses and authority figures from your past at this time. Perhaps this is a chance to clarify things.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Travel delays and cancellations are happening. However, this is an excellent time to study history or do research. It's also a great time to finish papers, manuscripts and big projects.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

While Mercury is retrograde until Feb. 21, it's a great time to wrap up loose details about shared property, insurance issues and inheritances. Get things clarified.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Ex-spouses and ex-partners as well as old friends from your past are back in your world again. This will continue for the next three weeks. Make use of this, if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

The best way to be efficient during this Mercury retrograde (until the 21st) is to finish old work instead of beginning new projects. Nevertheless, delays

and goofy errors are likely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Old flames are back on the scene. (Oh my.) Since you never know who you will run into, take care with how you look and dress.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Family and relatives might be camped out on your doorstep, eating out of your fridge for the next few weeks. Be prepared for this. It's just what it is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Transportation delays, car problems, missed buses as well as mixed-up communications will dog your footsteps for the next few weeks. Grin and bear it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Checks in the mail will be late in the next few weeks. Likewise, financial transactions will be stalled or even reversed. Double-check money-related details for errors.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Mercury is retrograde in your sign, which means you will misplace items, forget things, have mixed-up communications with others, to name just a few. Fortunately, it's all small stuff.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

This is a marvelous time to do research because it's easy for you to go "into the past" because of Mercury retrograde. Use this to your advantage!

YOU BORN TODAY: You are peace-loving and easygoing. Nevertheless, you have determination and willpower, which is why you are a high achiever. This year, let go of what is no longer relevant or useful and move on to something new and different. This is not a time of loss. Au contraire! You are lightening your load to make room for new beginnings!
