ASTRO ADVICE WEEKLY by Eugenia Last

FEBRUARY 2, 2025 – FEBRUARY 8, 2025:

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Trust your instincts on the 2nd and 3rd. Follow your heart and pour your energy into doing something that helps others and makes you feel good about yourself. Refrain from letting idol time turn into anger and resentment. Stay active, challenge yourself, and concentrate on health and well-being. Impulse purchases will fall short of your expectations on the 4th and 5th. Try before you buy, and you’ll save yourself aggravation and time to reverse the situation. Take notes and ask questions on the 6th and 7th. Being informed will help you make better choices and avoid being misled by someone trying to harness your skills for self-benefit. Take better care of your emotional and physical well-being on the 8th. Stick close to home and rejuvenate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Step outside your comfort zone on the 2nd and 3rd and initiate a change requiring you to challenge someone or something to complete your mission. Recognizing what makes you happy and following through will pay off. Keep your eye on the ball on the 4th and 5th and move in a direction that opens doors and helps you follow proper protocol and make better choices. Choose the path that offers positive change instead of giving in to someone else’s needs. Change is up to you on the 6th and 7th; if something excites you, do your diligence and make it happen. Stick to the truth on the 8th. If you inflate your version of something, expect to be held accountable. Tell it like it is if you want to know where you stand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pent-up energy will require an outlet on the 2nd and 3rd. Volunteer for something that will keep you out of trouble and encourage you to learn something that helps you advance or promotes a positive attitude. Be careful when making choices on the 4th and 5th. You must gather all the pertinent information first to avoid falling victim to benefiting someone else when you should be looking out for your best interests. Opportunity is apparent, but it doesn’t mean upheaval is necessary to achieve your desired outcome. Proceed with caution on the 6th and 7th. Taking on too much or making unrealistic promises will compromise you. Only spend what’s necessary on the 8th and refuse to let anyone tempt you to indulge or take risks that pose physical, emotional, or financial risks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You are overdue for a change on the 2nd and 3rd. Start negotiations and conversations. Searching for something new and exciting that raises your income or allows you to use your skills more enjoyably is favored. You can lend a helping hand on the 4th and 5th but offer your time, experience, or abilities, not cash. Physical input will allow you to use your skills to promote what you do best. Keep your thoughts and feelings to yourself on the 6th and 7th. You’ll find it easier to take care of any bureaucratic business if you listen to authority figures. An open mind on the 8th and willingness to lend a helping hand will put you in a good position when you want something in return.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Partnerships will bring out the best in you on the 2nd and 3rd if you are open to discussing and clarifying your objective. Use your imagination and point out the possibilities. A change on the 4th and 5th will emotionally impact what you do, how you react, and your reputation. Pay more attention to self-improvement instead of trying to change others. Your insight on the 6th and 7th will help you recognize when someone is unhappy with you or your choices. Do whatever you can to rectify the problem with the least fuss. Kindness and consideration are your best bet. You may have to back-peddle on the 8th if you share your secrets or desires with others. Avoid situations that put you in a vulnerable position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22): Go about your business on the 2nd and 3rd, and don’t stop until you are satisfied with the results. Ignore criticism and those trying to mislead or throw you off your game. Discipline will be necessary if you want to maintain momentum. A change you undergo on the 4th and 5th will become a valuable learning experience that can help you avoid being taken advantage of by a fast talker. Too much of anything on the 6th and 7th will drag you down. Overspending, overeating, and overdoing it may help you get ahead initially, but the long-term effects will take their toll. Distance yourself from wishy-washy people. Participate in events that concern you on the 8th, and you’ll connect with someone who shares your likes and dislikes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are best to take a pass if force is necessary to get what you want on the 2nd and 3rd. Spend your time and energy on self-improvement, learning, and updating your skills and qualifications. Feeling you must overspend on the 4th and 5th to impress someone will have the opposite effect. Divvy expenses up evenly rather than picking up the tab yourself. You’ll get the green light on the 6th and 7th. Take the initiative; if you hesitate, someone eager to get ahead will push you aside. Participation is the name of the game. Do your best, and don’t look back. A break on the 8th will help you collect your thoughts and determine your next move. Time spent with someone you love will bring you closer together.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Finish what you start on the 2nd and 3rd and do your best to ward off an argument. Your objective is to achieve your goal and impress onlookers. Participate in events that help open doors on the 4th and 5th and discover what you must do to reach your expectations. A positive change will require give and take. Strive for equality, fair play, and getting along with everyone regardless of differences. Refuse to let temptation lead you astray on the 6th and 7th. Know when to decline an offer or say no to temptation. Focus on creative endeavors you can achieve yourself instead of agreeing to a joint venture. Pay attention to detail, lifestyle, and domestic environment on the 8th and fix what troubles you. Romance is favored.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Explore the possibilities on the 2nd and 3rd, and the people you encounter will enrich your life. Refuse to let someone’s uncertainty or drama ruin your plans. Keep the peace and choose love over chaos. Go with the flow on the 4th and 5th; you’ll learn something new. Be a friendly observer and use what you see to help you advance. You’ll gravitate toward situations that offer information and excitement on the 6th and 7th. Play an active role in what unfolds, and you’ll attract attention and interest from someone you’ll enjoy getting to know better. Shared expenses won’t turn out as planned on the 8th. Keeping your money and plans separate is best to avoid loss or being scammed. Be direct and honest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be a good listener on the 2nd and 3rd, ask questions, and be blatant regarding what interests you. Leading someone on will result in discord, which can hurt your reputation. Focus on creativity, innovation, and doing your own thing. A change at home will brighten your day on the 4th and 5th and make you aware of what and who is essential. Nurture what matters most. Someone will take advantage of you on the 6th and 7th if you are naïve. Question, follow-up, and testing what’s proposed will keep you out of harm’s way and help you say no to temptation and excess. Refrain from letting emotions interfere with truth on the 8th. Recognize what’s possible and what’s best to avoid. Protect your status quo.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Playing favorites on the 2nd and 3rd will leave you open to criticism. You are best to observe and size up situations carefully before taking sides. Anger and emotions will escalate if your words or gestures are controversial. You may not like a change that unfolds on the 4th and 5th. Before you complain, consider your options. Sometimes, it’s better to walk away than argue for something nobody wants. Put domestic issues to rest on the 6th and 7th by being open to suggestions, willing to meet other’s demands halfway, or prepared to distance yourself from something you cannot condone. Pay attention to how you look and present yourself to others on the 8th. A new look will boost your confidence and your enthusiasm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have more power than you realize on the 2nd and 3rd, so hit the road and be the one to make things happen. Trust and believe in yourself and your ability to turn a negative into a positive. Focus on love, personal improvement, and sticking to a budget. Keep money, legal, and emotional matters to yourself on the 4th and 5th. Share less, and you’ll get things done without interference. Aim to make your life easier. You’ll become confused on the 6th and 7th if you listen to too many opinions. Go to an expert, get the lowdown, define what matters most, and proceed to do what’s best for you. Let your gestures be your voice on the 8th when dealing with changes you hope to bring about.
