Venus and the Groundhog by Holiday Mathis

The arrangement of Venus and Pluto casts a ceremonial profundity over crowds gathering at Gobbler’s Knob for the appearance of Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of Prognosticators and Weather Prophet Extraordinary. “Silly things cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people.” — Jane Austen

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One perk of making mistakes is the dose of humility that often comes with the gaffe, which is usually enough to inoculate a person from the disease of self-seriousness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The reason you are so drawn to the music is that you can hear your own soul in there and feel its determination to dance in that world with or without the rest of you, like a date that’s gotten away from you at the nightclub of life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you’re wondering why people tell you their problems, it’s because you look them right in the eyes and make them feel seen, like they belong and like there’s hope where they’re headed.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s like everyone on the planet was put here to teach you something. You’ll learn 10 things by lunchtime. By midafternoon, you’ll be ready for the recess bell to ring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re starting to see how your life would be different if you changed a certain set of daily behaviors. This block will change together because each action is a cue that triggers the next action.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Amusement lives outside of expectation. Where the outcome is predicted, there is no delight. So you’ll include a surprise — nothing big, and the size isn’t the point. The point is that they don’t know it’s coming.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The to-do list is long. Choose fun ones to cross off first. Activities must be very satisfying for you or you’re not going to do them with any kind of regularity, if you do them at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re purchasing life with life, trading effort for result. You need evidence (preferably sensory evidence) that you’re headed in the right direction. Ask for it! Get a “receipt” you can feel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Once things get rolling, you’ll have no problem keeping up with them. So don’t worry your pretty head about the future. Just start building something to put on the wheels.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Time is a multiplier. Whatever you feed it on a regular basis, it will get to work on making more of that. Sometimes what you’re feeding it is less, and, in that case, the same rule applies only in negative numbers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whether you run this day via a system of logic or you run it with the intuition of your gut, you’ll end up in the same place. Though you’ll get there much faster with intuition.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you think about it, you’ve known love galore, and still, like a royal who never wears the same gown twice, love shows up in new ways. Sometimes, it’s a celebration in your heart. Other times, it’s a prayer or a sweet, soft song.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 2). A few layers deep (and you’ll dig down and get there in the next 10 weeks) and you discover your soul’s most aligned desires. You have everything you need to bring this into being! Because your intentions of so pure this year, even arbitrary action will help you make your dreams come true. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 11, 18 and 40.

FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: As far as velocipedes go, most of the vehicle’s mechanical parts are useless on their own, but even the smallest pin or link or rubber patch is essential to the smooth-gliding miracle of bicycles.

Such is the emergent property of the human race, which could not ride the same without you. And why doubt any person’s role? Even obstacles key into the design. One never knows which impediments serve to keep the perfect timing, tension and propulsion of living moments.

These days in the Aquarius sun hit the message home: When we hurt ourselves, we hurt each other. When we hurt each other, we hurt ourselves. Mercury moves into Pisces and our powers of empathy become more pronounced.

Venus entering Aries adds some beginner’s luck to the mix. Consider adding more skills to your bag, especially the sort of cornerstone skills that make other skills easier to learn. For instance, learning itself, reading, effective communication, creating rapport. Many don’t dedicate the time and focus necessary for mastering basics like this because we mistakenly believe these skills come with the package of being human and we should somehow automatically know them. Quite simply, nope! Working on these sorts of endeavors will enhance all of your experiences.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Columbian born pop star Shakira was just 12 years old when she released her first record, and her tenacity finally paid off in Grammys. The dancing Aquarian diva has been honored by the United Nations and other organizations for her extensive charitable contributions. Her natal moon in soulful Cancer reveals a strong intuitive sense and a powerful bond with family.
