The Cosmic Connection 

Rising sign horoscopes for Feb. 5 – 11

Aries: Tension may arise between your values and aspirations for your future. Put your thinking cap on with less focus on the material world and more on dreaming and visioning.

Taurus: The clash between your profession and your authentic self may become too big to ignore. Begin or continue directing your efforts into greater alignment between the two.

Gemini: Despite your best efforts, expressing yourself fully may be stunted by someone or something beyond your control. Consider new or different outlets that support your talents.

Cancer: Something deep within you can be the roadblock to loyal, reliable community. A little soul-searching and keeping your mind and heart open can go a long way.

Leo: If there’s a relationship in your life holding you back from your dream job, it’s time to take action. A potential resolution could come from putting more faith into sharing resources.

Virgo: An unconventional approach to health and wellness can challenge beliefs. Explore options and find assurance in connecting and communicating with those you trust.

Libra: Eccentricity is your muse, and you are an artist. Push through any fears about your creations by meditating with them every day. The relationship you build sets the balance.

♏  Scorpio: The most solid foundation you have is within yourself. Don’t let anyone rock your world. A calm inner compass is essential to your imagination and intuitive flow.

Sagittarius: A disturbance in your immediate surroundings or from a family member may interrupt your usual day-to-day. Keep calm and carry on, prioritizing self-care and inner peace.

Capricorn: It may be time to shed some possessions. Joy can be found in making donations or selling that which no longer serves a purpose. Release every item with love and gratitude.

Aquarius: Fitting in may become a prevailing theme, but your path is opposite. Appreciate your uniqueness, especially relative to your roots, and accept yourself wholeheartedly.

Pisces: Recognize the power and vibration of your thoughts and your voice. Tune into the feelings and receptivity in your body. Positivity will energize you and enhance your overall being.

Weekly astrology summary:

Magician Mercury and value-focused Venus hold the cosmic reins this week as they both create tension before ditching Aquarius for the welcoming Piscean waters. The tension will arise as they each square off with wily Uranus, currently finalizing its journey through Taurus, in a configuration that won’t occur again for another 80-plus years! Take advantage of how conflict can be a great motivator, as this is the last chance to address what surfaces. You may notice some repeating themes. The cosmic tension will be present all week as Mercury shifts into Pisces on Feb. 6, followed by Venus on Feb. 10.

It’s an incredible time to tap into the love language of Mercury in Pisces, which is through art, imagination, intuition, and poetry. This week’s shift sets the stage for the first retrograde of the year, and the themes of which will begin to brew on Feb. 11. Mercury will tread in Pisces until mid-April. Mercury and Venus will remain close to each other all month long, which gifts us the opportunity to tap deeply into the alignment between our mindsets and our hearts, as well as everything we love and value in our lives.
