Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.
Happy Birthday for Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025:
You create activity around you. You like to be fired up by an idea, which you pursue with fierce intensity. This is a year of service, perhaps to family. Therefore, take care of yourself so you can be a resource for others. Family and friends will look to you for support.
ARIES
(March 21-April 19)
★★
Disagreements about financial arrangements, shopping, difficulty in buying something, dissatisfaction with earnings or perhaps a dispute about the ownership of something — all of these could arise today. These disputes could be minor or major. Handle them with a minimum of fuss. (For your own sake.) Tonight: Patience with others.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20)
★★
Today the Moon is in your sign at odds with Mercury, which means your feelings might get hold of you before you have a chance to think. You have a strong need to communicate, but your emotions will rule. Others might feel the same way. Keep disputes to a minimum. Tonight: Show respect.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
★★
Avoid touchy subjects today, because they will lead to arguments and disagreements. In fact, people have an inclination to argue today and might even change sides just for the perverse pleasure of fighting. Who needs this? Not you. Tonight: Avoid controversy.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
★★
You might end up bickering with someone about shared property, differing values or even the cost of something. Perhaps one party thinks they are carrying an unfair share. This dispute also might be about inheritances or how to divide something. Be honest and cope as best you can. Tonight: Stay calm.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
This is the classic day for a disagreement with a parent, boss, teacher or any member of authority, including the police. This could happen, because you will feel compelled to speak up about something even though it might do you no good. However, it might be your chance to air your grievances. Tonight: Listen.
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Steer clear of controversy today. Nevertheless, discussions at work might get out of hand because you have strong feelings about something. Or you might feel personally offended. Instead of reacting to others, use this energy to be productive and get something done. You’ll be happier doing this. Tonight: Get organized.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★★
You might have difficulty dealing with your kids today. Likewise, romantic relationships might be strained. Discussions about shared property or differing values will also be problematic, because conversations will be based more on feelings rather than facts. Tonight: Socialize.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★
Avoid important family discussions today, because very little will be resolved. They might become heated and lead to emotional arguments, especially with partners and spouses. Avoid this; there is no upside. Look for ways to be productive and get things done. This will make you feel better. Tonight: Relax.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Be accommodating in discussions with neighbors, relatives and siblings today. Make a point of listening to others. Very likely, you’ll have an emotional reaction, but is this disagreement worth it? What do you gain? The better choice is to entertain yourself with sports or social outings. Tonight: Discussions.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Seek out your own ways of having pleasure today or enjoying some fun outings. Avoid financial squabbles with others or the dispute of ownership of something. Don’t let arguments ruin your chance to socialize in a lighthearted way. Alternatively, you might entertain at home. Tonight: Check your belongings.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★
Avoid squabbles with others today, which might be difficult because, for starters, people are eager to argue. And secondly, they are driven by their emotions and feelings, and not by logic. This could lead to silly disputes about practically anything. Steer clear of tension with others. Tonight: Restraint.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
Resist the urge to wind up in an argument. You don’t have to waste your time doing this, even though you’ll be tempted. You will be happy to shop for beautiful things today, especially because you have been entertaining ideas of reinventing yourself, and this might involve a new image. Tonight: Solitude.
