Week Beginning On February 05

Number 1 (Born on 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month)

You’ll be meeting a number of new people this week, and that will both excite and exhaust you. Though you enjoy social occasions, you can sometimes be shy. Try not to worry too much about the way you act around others—just be natural, and your lively personality will likely make you many new friends. If a loved one begins to feel jealous as others gravitate toward you, give that person extra attention to ease his or her mind. Make the most of your time at work by prioritising and tackling projects one at a time.

Number 2 (Born on 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th of any month)

This just isn’t your week—you could make the most of it if you tried, but nobody can blame you for feeling a little grumpy. Others will catch on to the fact that you might be feeling stressed, as you won’t be acting your usual cheerful self. You’ll feel especially guilty after snapping at a loved one, but that person will forgive you. Try to concentrate on events rather than emotions. Bury yourself in projects at work, where keeping busy will be key to having a successful week.

Number 3 (Born on 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month)

Though no fault of your own, you suddenly find your financial levels far lower than normal. Don’t panic—instead, weigh your options one by one. A loan might seem like the best choice, but you might be able to squeak by if you scrimp more than usual over the next several weeks, so consider that. Otherwise, your week isn’t too bad—quality time with a loved one puts you in a good mood and makes you feel much better about the worries you have. Make it a point to see that person as often as possible when you feel down.

Number 4 (Born on 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st of any month)

Your viewpoints haven’t always been popular in the past, but you’ve never been forced to defend them to the degree you do this week. An unexpected advantage to arguing for what you believe in is that you’ll have to think through why exactly you believe in it. A loved one will seem commanding this week, but that person means only to be firm. Speak up if his or her behaviour bothers you, but be prepared to hear a list of your own faults in return. Though your work generally requires more action than thought, this week will be an exception.

Number 5 (Born on 5th, 14th, 23rd of any month)

Others may perceive your actions as irresponsible this week, but you know that couldn’t be further from the truth. The problem will be convincing everyone else of that, especially a close one. That person may be very upset with you, and you’ll feel helpless to defend yourself. It may be best to let him or her cool off a bit before you approach. Work is hurried lately, and it might seem like the week is over before it even began. You can help make sure you get all your important projects done by making a list at the beginning of the week.

Number 6 (Born on 6th, 15th, 24th of any month)

This week starts off well for you, but you’ll have to field some obstacles midweek to keep the momentum going. A hot-tempered friend would like to involve you in his or her latest dispute, and it seems hard to give that person “no” as an answer. Neutral advice isn’t going to pacify your friend, so try to say whatever you can to inspire him or her to work it out independently. Communication difficulties are enough to throw others off-balance at work, but not you.

Number 7 (Born on 7th, 16th, 25th of any month)

This week is one high point after another. You’ll enjoy every moment of it, but you’ll be exhausted by the weekend. To help save your energy, use what little downtime you have to relax rather than jumping straight into the next event. A nap here and a few quiet minutes to yourself there can do wonders. Steer clear of a loved one during the times you need to wind down, though, because that person will only serve to make you more excited and anxious.

Number 8 (Born on 8th, 17th, 26th of any month)

You’ll know the meaning of “emotional rollercoaster” after this week is over—with all the extreme ups and downs you’re going through, it’s a wonder you can manage to stick to your routine at all. A low point is the unkind words you and a loved one trade—you’re able to tell that he or she is not just upset, but truly angry. There isn’t much you can do about it for the time being, but work on separating your anxiety from the rest of the things you have to do this week.

Number 9 (Born on 9th, 18th, 27th of any month)

After getting off to a rocky start with relationships, this week will finish smoothly for you. A minor disagreement with a couple of friends blows out of proportion and turns into something stressful for everyone. Attempts to play the peacemaker are quashed by your friends, but the dispute will be settled before too much ill will has a chance to brew. Keep a low profile at work this week, as you can prove renewed productivity by finishing up tasks independently.
