JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Thursday, February 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be just landing from yesterday’s Full Moon eclipse. Give yourself some time before making any decisions about recent events. You will want to squash a display of arrogance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you need some time off to recharge your batteries, try to make it happen. Your anger doesn’t usually come to the surface; however, given the present circumstances, you might be concerned about saying something you won’t be able to take back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You would prefer to avoid a difficult situation. Know that if you bypass the issue, you will just be prolonging the inevitable. You might be best off clearing the air as quickly as possible.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to have a discussion about your choices after you balance your checkbook. Until you do that, you will not have a valid concept of what is possible. Do not negate a possibility until you have given it adequate consideration.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Use the morning for any matter that appears to be critical. You could be distracted in the afternoon, and will want to handle other issues. You might want to approach a financial matter differently.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your energy level rises in the afternoon as you wonder what you need to do in order to maintain the pace that you desire. You are likely to be surprised by how much spontaneity invigorates you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could be in a situation that needs to be completed ASAP. By the afternoon, other matters take a high priority and could be distracting, to say the least. You even might want to retreat.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Zero in on a high priority in the afternoon. You seem to be able to elicit others’ feedback more easily at that point. Deal with an older person you have been meaning to respond to. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Accepting responsibilities dropped on you from out of the blue might be difficult. You come from a place where you need to recharge your energy while still having to push to meet demands.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to someone at a distance whom you care a lot about. The unexpected occurs when dealing with a group of acquaintances. Take an overview, if possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating draws a strong response. The unexpected seems to mark your day. Stay open to someone else’s perspective. See what is going on with a boss who could be unusually vitriolic.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others want control, and you will be much more content if you let them run the show. Your finances have an unpredictable quality to them, so reach out to an expert who knows a lot.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1) This year you will be more active in creating your own reality. The unexpected often occurs when dealing with others.
