Horoscope for the Week beginning Feb. 2
By Michael O’Connor
Month number two of year #11 begins. Eleven is the primary Master Number in Numerology and can be understood not only as a metaphysical number but, more accurately, as the Number of Metaphysics. Generally, 11 can be understood as a number symbolic of higher levels of intelligence and creativity. This can be understood as the balance and dynamic interaction of the right and the left brain. This is the high side of 11.
This is not to say that every person who has 11 in their birth date or astrology is a creative genius. In fact, 11 can also be understood as ‘a number to be mastered.’ People born on either the 11th day or, perhaps to a lesser extent the 29th day, or month (November) or during an 11-year, such as 2009 and 2018, or who have the sign of Aquarius strongly activated in their chart or with the Sun, Moon or several planets in the 11th House are, or will be (children born in 2018), challenged to learn to listen deeply and pay closer attention to what others are saying and doing.
This is important to overcome the pitfalls of making assumptions based on subconscious overconfidence in their interpretation, which has the tendency to produce fixed convictions and polarized perspectives which often result in interpersonal conflict and subsequent frustration and insecurity when others react to these strong assertions. In other words, they may be guilty of creative thinking that is fabricating reality or fudging the facts without realizing it and then assumes an attitude or stance of certainty and conclusion in their convictions. This may also prove to be generally true for us all in 2018.
Feb. 2 – 8
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Social involvements with friends of late are a source of entertainment and new realizations. You are inspired to take action on some of these, which could include travel plans. Financial interests and/or concerns remain prominently on your mind. You yearn for a breakthrough or is it a breakaway? Adventure is calling.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
You yearn to shake-things-up in your public and professional life. Your ambitions are strong these days and increase and expansion are topping your list. Brainstorming for new ideas and strategies may feel necessary. Adding to your tool list or implementing fresh approaches and strategies is likely. Meanwhile, measurable changes in your usual approaches are brewing.
Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
Some rather serious and sobering events last month have shifted to give way to more exciting and enjoyable times including cultural events. Big changes continue to percolate, however, and represent a deep process of change – a veritable metamorphosis. The process will continue for many months but you may already be able to detect it.
Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
New commitments that began as early as December have required more discipline, patience and commitment than perhaps anticipated. These are all a feature of big changes in your overall public status. Positively, these have produced some pleasant, unexpected turns. One thing seems certain; everything feels different somehow.
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
New developments are stirring on relationship fronts. Experimenting with new approaches is a source of excitement. These may be linked to innovative and technological strategies. You have recently entered an important cycle linked to knowledge and the cultivation and refinement of latent skills and talents.
Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
If noticeable changes are not unfolding in your life, you may want them to be and they likely will be soon. It may take until later in February, however, before they become really evident. So, anticipate that and make your preparations accordingly. Covering a lot of ground implies multi-tasking and/or having a variety of projects on the go.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are in a creative cycle and it just got a boost of inspiration, which is serving to ignite your intuitions. You are on a search for new talents, skills and investment opportunities. Dreams of activating new financial streams linger day and night. Contending with inner resistance, perhaps linked to hidden fears, is important for success.
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Gathering facts, outlining a plan and setting clear and strong intentions, continues as a central theme. Whether in your actual lair or the lab of your mind, the drafting process is underway. A learning curve is implied, but the pace is slow and steady. This is an expansive time and your ambitions are strongly set on achieving a breakthrough.
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You are beginning to see the world as with new eyes. The currents of change are pushing you to achieve new perspectives of both yourself and the world and yourself in the world. If you have fixed convictions about these things you may be undergoing a lot of internal conflicts. Focus to identify fears causing you to reactively control and trust the flow.
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Many fresh starts are underway. These come on the heels of many changes and probably of endings that culminated late last year. The pace of change since has been fast and you may have and continue to feel challenged to catch-up. Positively, you are excited regarding the prospects of exploring new possibilities and on a variety of fronts.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
The coming Solar Eclipse New Moon in your sign on February 15 is certain to activate measurable changes in your life. This is especially true if you were born on or between February 11 and 19th and probably even more so if between the 14th and 16th. As ever, there are many factors to consider. In any case, enjoy the current pace and get ready for things to accelerate.
Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
A busy time behind the scenes continues. Things have probably taken off early for you this year. A push in your public and professional life is indicated. By now, it has lead you to do the work. A steadily changing financial picture is motivating your focus, either by inspiration or necessity, or both. Persevere patiently by working on your core strengths and foundation-building projects.
