You are wound so tightly today that you should seek ways to blow off some excess energy. You might think you’ll be able to remain cool in an interaction with a friend, but engaging in a heated discussion is inevitable if safely defined roles break down. Unfortunately, flaring tempers won’t make anyone happy. Consciously back down to avoid an unnecessary battle without trying to justify your position.

You know that you have a specific job to do, but you might not be able to figure out exactly what it is. You can lose focus today, but you don’t need to worry about regaining it yet. Don’t bother trying to make sense of your dreams; just let them reveal what you want to do in the world. It doesn’t matter now if your newly discovered goals are practical or not. Just let them grow and develop a life of their own.

You may let a philosophy or a belief override your common sense now, without even knowing it. This obsession can be a major source of trouble with those around you. Most often your ideas are useful, but today they tend to alienate you, reinforcing your differences and not your similarities. Fortunately, your good intentions may be enough to lift others out of their doldrums. This positive energy reflects back to you by motivating you and giving you an instant boost of confidence.

You may think that you can instantly change your old habits today, especially if you see the outcome of your present situation in your mind’s eye. Unfortunately, you could become overly possessive and try to hold on to your own past, if it appears that someone is attempting to take something away from you. Give yourself permission to relax while enjoying the present moment, no matter what happens.

You cannot understand anyone else’s motives very clearly today because you are looking at the world through rose-colored glasses. Your eagerness to aggressively defend yourself or someone you love is admirable, but your current intensity can complicate things even more. Don’t be so quick to fight for your beliefs. Wait a few days to see if your point of view changes before escalating a difference of opinion into an open conflict.

It’s easy to keep your energy focused today because the Sun and Mars both fall in your 6th House of Details. Even with the clearest of intentions, it’s nearly impossible to know why you are heading on your current path. But this isn’t a time to question your motivation. Simple action is all that’s required now to make progress toward your goal.

The Moon’s visit to your sign today reminds you to stay connected with the sources of inspiration in your life. The Moon symbolizes the matrix of support that flows through family and creates intimacy. If you’re overly idealistic about love now, you might experience disappointment. However, maintaining your integrity is more important than anything else.

You are living under a magical spell that could date all the way back to your childhood days. Unfortunately, it’s hard to tell which memories are based upon truth and which ones are fully fabricated from the depths of your unconscious mind. It can be helpful to be a detective when it comes to your heart because once you get to the bottom of the situation, your feelings are a lot easier to sort out.

Slowing down and establishing a sustainable pace enables you to accomplish a lot more than you expect today. However, before starting a new project now, it’s imperative to have your thoughts in order. Take time to think your strategy all the way through before you do anything at all. You can save yourself from a headache by doing your homework first.

You want more clarity to make an important financial decision today, yet, thankfully, your current window of opportunity will last for a few more days. It’s challenging to respond to a professional dilemma because a temporary loss of self-confidence can muddle your thinking even more. There’s no need to worry; your optimism will surely return again. In the meantime, don’t make any major decisions until you’re sure that you are ready.

You may feel a strong rebellious streak within and wonder if you’ll be able to keep it in check. Your desire to be impulsive increases through Feb. 4, as the Sun-Mars conjunction reaches fruition. Meanwhile, action-hero Mars comes to your rescue; even if you are having a tricky time knowing what to do with your physical energy. A high-intensity workout today could make all the difference in the world.

The Moon forms a sweet trine to your key planet Neptune today, placing you in touch with the depths of your imagination. However, you are also receiving an energetic boost from Mars, operating behind the scenes from your 12th House of Secrets. Other people may not even know that there is magic brewing within your mind. Let your fantasies run wild; your creativity will break through the surface soon enough.
