Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Feb. 2

Moon Alert

After 10 a.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” to do business. The Moon is in Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You want a change of scenery today. Ideally, you want to travel someplace exciting. Since this is the formula for your day, think how you can satisfy your urge for adventure and change. Visit ethnic restaurants and talk to people from different backgrounds.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a good day to dig into financial matters, which naturally interest you. (You are the banker of the zodiac.) Stay on top of red-tape details regarding shared property, taxes, debt and insurance. Do some future planning regarding your assets.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which traditionally means you have to compromise with others. In other words, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with loved ones and close friends. Hey — this is no biggie.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

It will please you if you set aside 15 minutes today to get better organized, at home or in your job — or even your car. Get rid of junk you don’t need. Tidy things up. Do at least one thing you have been avoiding for months.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a good day because the Moon is in your fellow Fire sign making you playful, in a good mood and ready for fun! Enjoy socializing with others. Sports events, parties, the arts and fun activities with children will appeal. Romance will sizzle!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Home, family and your private life are your focus today. Perhaps a conversation with a female authority figure in the family — probably Mom — will be significant. You will also enjoy a chance to cocoon and feel comfy in the privacy of your own home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You are a social sign, and today is a social day! Connect the dots. Enjoy schmoozing with everyone, especially siblings, neighbors and relatives. This is also a strong day for those of you who sell, market, write, teach and act because you are so articulate.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Money, finances and your possessions will be your focus today. Because home and domestic issues are strong in your mind right now, your financial matters might relate to your home or your family. However, you might also see ways to boost your income. (Money is so handy when you want to buy things, isn’t it?)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which gives you an edge over all the other 11 signs. This favorable situation will continue on Wednesday and most of Thursday. This means now is the time to act. Ask the universe for a favor to see what happens. (What’s to lose?)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Three planets are in your sign right now, which is one reason you might want to work alone or behind the scenes. In other words, this could be the day to take a breather and play things low key. By Thursday/Friday, you’ll be out there flying your colors!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships are important to you today. Specifically, a female friendship. You might want to confide in this person or perhaps this person wants to confide in you. This is also a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

With the Moon at the top of your chart today, it means you are especially visible. In fact, people seem to know personal details about your private life. Just go with this but be aware of it in case you have to do some damage control.

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV chef Ina Garten (1948) shares your birthday today. You are sophisticated, classy, high-energy and active. You also have a multiplicity of talents. You make gargantuan tasks look simple. This year is one of growth and building. Initially, this will take place quietly beneath the surface. Wait until next year to make major changes. If you can reduce your overhead, you will strengthen your financial position.
