Horoscope for Monday, Feb. 1, 2021

Moon Alert

After 5:30 a.m. Chicago time, there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Don’t get your belly in a rash when talking to friends or members of groups because it’s easy to do! Fiery Mars, your ruler, is at odds with the sun, which is why everyone is ready for bear. Be a prevailing voice of sanity. (Take this leadership role.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

There’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is you’re ready to defend yourself when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and the police. The bad news is that you might go overboard and be too pushy. Be smart.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are opinionated today, which is why you might be at odds with someone if you discuss politics, religion or racial issues. You might even be opinionated about travel issues or something to do with higher education? Stay chill.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be involved with disputes about shared property, taxes, debt or financial exchanges with others. Or you might have an argument about clarifying your responsibilities for someone or something? Tread carefully because people are testy today!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Patience is the antidote to anger. Quite likely, today you will need to rely on patients to avoid arguments with those who are closest to you — partners, spouses and close friends. That’s because people are very opinionated today (not you, of course), and you will have to deal with them with class and diplomacy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because you have strong ideas at work today, or when doing anything related to what you want to do, you might be critical, overbearing or a bit pushy when dealing with others. Or perhaps you will meet someone who is this way? Either way, stay chill. Be reasonable.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents have to be patient with their kids today — definitely. Likewise, you have to be patient with romantic partners because almost everyone has strong feelings today. This will be apparent in sports, the entertainment world, and anything to do with fun, social diversions. (Yikes!) Stay cool.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be smart and avoid family arguments, especially with parents and older family members today. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. Therefore, don’t even go there. If you do, you will regret it later. Mum’s the word.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You have such strong opinions today you’re tempted to try to coerce others into agreeing with you. It’s as if you want to “sell” your ideas to others. Lighten up. Everyone is not going to agree with you, just as you are not going to agree with everyone else. Factoid.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Money disputes are likely today. This is because people identify with their ideas, needs and wants today, especially when it comes to money, cash flow and belongings. (People are always touchy about money.) Ideally, never borrow money from a friend. Or an enemy!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the sun is in your sign at odds with fiery Mars. This can trigger ego conflicts with others because it makes you want to win. It can also make you impatient if things don’t flow the way you want them to, especially if they don’t flow quickly! Oh yeah.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might feel irritated with others today because something going on behind the scenes has set your teeth on edge. This means the first negative thing that parachutes into your world could cause an explosion. However, if you overreact, what will it gain you? Nothing. Chill out.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Julia Garner (1994) shares your birthday. You are impulsive and strong-willed. People easily admire you. Happy news! After 28 years, you have now reached your time of harvest, when you will start to reap the benefits of the seeds that you planted in the last several decades. You deserve this time of success! As a result, you might enjoy increased influence and leadership in all your relationships.
