Over the next few days, the Sun in your sign will make a series of productive and useful aspects to important planets, among them Saturn, Jupiter and the Uranus-Eris conjunction. That means you get to raise your profile and, in a sense, play in a league much higher than you’re usually accustomed to. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, conduct yourself appropriately: dress properly for every occasion. Treat authority figures with respect, without kissing ass. And most of all, make sure you know what you’re talking about before you open your mouth to speak. That means being wholly conscious of the limits of your knowledge (which is not exactly the specialty of those born under your birth sign). Also, you’ll soon become privy to inside information, which you must treat with the utmost confidence.

If Your Birthday is Feb. 7
(The Day of Utopia) | Aquarius Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
When your intellectual mind is telling you one thing but your body or emotions seem to be telling you another, which do you prioritize? That is, do you tend to camp out on one side of the equation without allowing the other side to influence you? It would seem that the wisest among us strive to take all sources of internal understanding into account, without letting just one set up an unquestioning blockade. If you can consider, question and integrate both your head and your gut, you may find that reality-checking yourself becomes a more informed process.
Written in the Planets
When the Moon enters Cancer today, it places added emphasis on emotions. This heightened sensitivity could dovetail with Ceres, which is in Venus-ruled Taurus and is making the body-emotion connection more palpable. Yet the sky is also offering a dose of slightly detached intellectualism via the Sun in Aquarius and Mercury, which enters Aquarius today. The setup suggests a classic question: do you let your mind or your emotions guide you? However, it’s a false choice; both elements of your awareness and experience are valuable. The question is not so much about pitting them against each other, as it is about recognizing whether you are only considering one while discounting or ignoring the other. Once you can see the proportions for what they are, you can sidestep stubborn myopia and use all the tools at your disposal.
