Weekly Horoscope: February 1 – 7

On Monday, February 1, the sun clashes with fiery Mars at 5:33 AM and something that’s been simmering comes to an unstoppable boil! There is a focused, persistent effort to address conflict, and to do something about it that is lasting. Something is being changed, or a second initiation is taking place, with the future in mind. People are probably not the most hyperactive or enthusiastic about addressing this change, though, since Mars is in chill earth sign Taurus. It’s more like a slow and sustained action to address something that happened last summer.

The planet of love and desire, Venus, enters air sign Aquarius at 9:05 AM. We are thinking about what love means, and how relationships are structured within social norms. This doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone is going to want to be in an open relationship all of a sudden, but there will be more discussions about what defines relationships in a dystopian hellscape.

Interpersonal boundaries are being hammered out over the weekend as Venus meets with Saturn, the planet of commitments, on Saturday at 2:06 AM. This is a time to talk about your standards and how they’re not being met, and what your cut off point is. Even outside of relationships, this is a favorable time for long-term agreements. It’s hard for anyone to fake their commitment right now, and whatever agreements are being made have Venus there to sweeten the deal. There is some nervous energy to them, however, as Venus the clashes with Uranus at 10:33 PM. Whatever foundation you are laying right now is to avoid the shocks and instability to come, putting up walls so that they can be shattered. It’s as though things are being tested as soon as they are put into motion.

All times ET.
