Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, February 4, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's important to keep in mind that in the next few weeks, you can benefit by talking to friends and groups. Speak freely about your hopes and dreams for the future. It's surprising where your next helpful feedback or hot tip might come from. Listen to what others have to say.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Don't be afraid to accept increased responsibilities for something. People are easily impressed with you now; they believe in your abilities. It's natural to secretly doubt whether or not you can pull something off. (Join the club. We number millions.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You adore travel. You love novelty and you have a genuine interest in other cultures. If you can possibly get away -- anywhere -- in the next six weeks, you'll be in seventh Heaven. Well, maybe at least third. This is also a great time to register for courses or begin any kind of new study.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the perfect time to clean up loose details about shared property, jointly owned possessions, and the shared responsibilities for someone or something. Put it down in writing. Make it clear where you stand (or sit, if you prefer.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Once a year, each sign has an opportunity to become more self-aware -- primarily through the feedback of those who are closest to them. It's your turn now. Observe how others respond to you. Those who are closest to you can act as a mirror for your behavior. (Scary, eh?)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

All your Virgoness is in its glory now! It's time to alphabetize your CDs. Well, at least do the laundry. According to Feng Shui, your surroundings affect your health, your love life, your productivity in the world, and your ability to choose a decent deodorant. Get rid of clutter. Neaten things up.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're one sign that knows how to schmooze with style. The month ahead offers lovely opportunities to enjoy yourself with others, explore the arts, take a vacation, flirt with juicy bon bons, and express your creativity with flair. Count on lots of fun ahead!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You definitely have to focus on family and domestic matters more than unusual in the next six weeks. This is the ultimate reality check. (Babies on television never spit up on Ultrasuede.) Expect to deal with a parent more than usual. Expect to deal with them all more than usual. (Groan)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because you have a strong desire to express yourself to others now -- especially siblings and relatives -- this is exactly what you should do. Spill the beans. Come clean with whatever's on your mind. Put your cards on the table.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

In the month ahead, while you're focusing on buying things, and how you can earn more money, what you are really dealing with is your own personal sense of self-worth. This can be a fuzzy, confusing area. We can equate what we own with who we are. Not. (Well, maybe your stemware.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It's all about you, babes. The Sun continues to be in your sign until February 19. This means it's your turn to have the controller. "Be yours to hold it high!" Now we all have to watch what you want.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Even though you're charging around with lots of energy lately, you actually need more rest. Grab every opportunity to stay in the sidelines, or have downtime. The next few weeks are also a perfect time to contemplate your life direction in general.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Tibetan Buddhist teacher Chogyam Trungpa (b. 1939) shares your birthday. You are lively and entertaining. You are also extremely unconventional. You always have an original, unusual way of doing things. You are most sincere in your beliefs, and like to share them with others. You enjoy many hobbies. Important choices present themselves to you this year. Choose wisely
