The Week of February 5
By Flo Higgins
When you march to the beat of a different drum you often find yourself in intellectual trouble. You are often confronted with the fact you are different than everyone you know. Unless of course the people you know are all Aquarians and that is totally unlikely. So here you are faced with feeling unique, living a life that is totally different. You often feel like a misfit. But fear not this is your style, when you really think about it you love being independent and not like anyone else. Anyone born this week enjoys the rhythm of a different dance. When you try relationships you must know they are difficult for you because you are at your best with groups of people, not with one on one adventures. You need your freedom and plenty of personal space. You are a great friend, companion and lover, but you need plenty of room to move around freely, otherwise you start feeling fenced in and then you run. Try explaining this to your next BFF and if he understands then you can move on with the relationship otherwise move on. It will be really tough.
Birthdays celebrated this week: Jennifer Jason Leigh, Feb. 5, 1962; Natalie Cole, Feb. 6, 1950; Chris Rock, Feb. 7, 1962; Gary Coleman, Feb. 8, 1968; Mia Farrow, Feb. 9, 1945; Greg Norman, Feb. 10, 1955; Jennifer Aniston, Feb. 11, 1969.
One star of two new political books Game Change and The Politician is John Edwards, a Gemini, born on June 10, 1953 Both books tell all about Edwards and how is romance with his girl friend and mother of his child Rielle Hunter, an Aries born on March 20, 1964 tore his bid for President, a friendship and his marriage apart. The author of The Politician is Andrew Young, an Aries born on March 23, 1966. And then we have another star of both books, Elizabeth Edwards, a Cancer born on July 3, 1949. This is a lethal astrological combination of people. When you take Aries and Cancers and put them together you are asking for trouble. And Edwards certainly got his share. He betrayed his wife and in turn was betrayed by his political aide, Mr. Young. And the entire explosion with Edwards finally admitting Hunter's baby is also his took place when emotions were high as the Moon was full just last week. You want to read about life in the fast lane of politics get a copy of either book. The new moon this month will hit on Saturday, February 13 and the full moon is on the 28th. Mars remains in Leo and is certainly pushing to pressure around the President. If you celebrate a birthday in Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius or Taurus just take it easy right now and don't get caught up in nonsense.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) In the blink of an eye you could find yourself in the middle of a good time this week. As Mars slowly makes its way thru Leo you can be the winner in any game. So take advantage of the good vibes and get work done that you have been putting off. Don't take on more than you can do now, but finish up what you have started.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) Now would be a good time to avoid trying to save anyone and just get your own act moving along. Because you are so maternal you often take on the lost and lonely. This week it would be wise to find some pals without chaos and have a good time with them. You need a change of pace.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Since you are great at spotting a problem in others it might be wise to start spotting some in you. Realize that because you are often busy and forget to interact with pals you sometimes come off as distant and distracted. Change your tune and you will love the new you and so will everyone else. The time has come.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) You may have been forced to change your style because of the actions of others around you. Try looking at the entire situation from a high point of view and you will learn plenty from the events of this week. The more you change your attitude the better you will feel, and your family will love the new you.
Leo (July 21 to August 20) Try looking the other way and don't get caught up in the problems of others. You need to work at putting some distance between you and some friends who are negative. The more you can just look the other way and ignore the nonsense the better you will feel and you will become the winner.
Virgo (August 21 to September 20) Saturn is about to move back into Virgo for its final push through the sign, so it might be wise to gather up all of your unfinished projects and or relationships and put closure to them. This week will offer some golden opportunities to do just that so take advantage of it. A phone call will liven up your week and put a smile on your face.
Libra (September 21 to October 20) This is a fine time to put all your ducks in a row and get rid of anything that isn't working - that means relationships and work projects. Organize your life and get rid of what you no longer need. In other words, get ready for more responsibility, which you will love, and more good adventures. But first finish up what you don't need.
Scorpio (October 21 to November 20) Mars remains in Leo square your sun sign offering you plenty of energy to finish up a few odds and ends so you can start some new ventures. The new moon on the 13th is a perfect starting date for anything new. That means relationships, work projects or making new money. Avoid any secret alliances because they just won't work well.
Sagittarius (November 21 to December 20) You are in the right place now if you want more responsibility and structure in your life. A new relationship could add just the right ingredient to your life so make some moves. If your projects are delayed for any reason just put them off and wait. Your time is coming for some excitement. Making more money should get top billing in your life.
Capricorn (December 21 to January 20) You should be facing some decisions, and it would be wise to wait until the new moon on the 13th before making a move. If you reorganize the drama you have been experiencing will some to a close. Otherwise get ready for more of the same thru this month. A new friend could prove helpful.
Aquarius (January 21 to February 20) The atmosphere around you should be improving as you review your emotional needs with a keen eye. You could stop depending on others to meet your needs and start leaning only on yourself. You will feel and be 100 percent happier. One phone call could really turn your attitude around, so make sure you answer the calls.
Pisces (February 21 to March 20) Just because there is often a certain amount of frustration now don't let go of your latest projects. Just know you will get out of this venture exactly what you put into it. With this in mind it would wise to stay to the end. Just know that life can change in a moment and change is coming your way.
