The fury of Krakatoa is nothing compared to the pressure building up inside you. Your burning desire to say something clouds your own good judgement, dear Rams, as people born under the sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. All that tempestuous energy might come out sideways and scare off friends. Let the fire burn itself out.

You may need to poke your nose into the affairs of friends and family, dear Bulls, as people born under the sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called. But it is all for their own good, so go ahead and poke away in February. Try to get your friends and family to see that you are there for them, even if they can barely see past their own problems.

Honesty is the best policy to clear the air. You are in a bit of a bind when it comes to your friends, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called. Heightened emotions don't justify ugly words and mean actions. If you are angry with someone, spit it out. Don't hold back, and do speak your mind.

Ease into the background and blend in with the masses. There you will meet someone else who's attempting to do the same, dear Crabs, as people born under the sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called. When your eyes meet, you will know what it is really like to click with another fellow traveller. It may be a good time to help without being asked.

Try to look more deeply into February's strange beginning, dear Lions, as people born under the sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. This is introspection time. Buy something big or beautiful for yourself. Even if it means adding a bit of debt. You deserve it, and should be able to handle it without owing too much to the banks for too long.

February is full of promise, and this is an especially lovely week for enchanting paramours,dear Virgoans, as people born under the sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. Your family dynamics hold the answers to your current problems. You are trying to fulfil a need or earn some approval you didn't receive from your family and friends.

Verbosity and sarcasm will get you nowhere, dear Scales, as people born under the sign of Libra (23 Sep-23 Oct) are sometimes called. Cheek actually works against you right now. So take a good look at yourself and examine your online profile. If it is long, dull and full of deadwood then take some time to tighten it up and update the photo.

Your latest romantic attraction is watching from afar, dear Eagles, as people born under the sign of Scorpio (24 Oct-23 Nov) are sometimes called. So be on your best behaviour and in tip-top shape. Watch your tongue. You don't have to hold your tongue, either. However, you are better off sitting this one out. This is surely part of the answer you are seeking.

Characteristically, you dig in your heels, dear Centaurs, as people born under the sign of Sagittarius (24 Nov-23 Dec) are sometimes called. Someone else is equally stubborn about the situation. This conflict could actually have a higher purpose. The problem is in your head, so let it out. At any rate, this is a good week to get started on something new.

There is another way of keeping as many people as possible happy. It doesn't matter if things don't make sense now, my dear Sea Goats, as people born under the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn (22 Dec-22 Jan) are sometimes called. You will put all the pieces together in the days ahead. Just go along with the situation as it moves ahead and you will be fine.

Your life has been a vortex of activity right now. Start thinking further ahead, my dear Water Bearers, as people born under the Fixed Air sign of Aquarius (23 Jan-19 Feb) are sometimes called. Climb ashore and make some serious changes to your life. Take it easy for the time being as things will heat up again in the second week of February. The Stars will guide you.

You have floated in the stream of life for so long accepting where it takes you. And you are on a roll this week, dear Dolphins, as people born under the sign of Pisces (20 Feb-21 Mar) are sometimes called. Keep it going through the week ahead. Cosmic forces will guide you. True happiness is at hand. A huge opportunity to have peace of mind beckons.
