Horoscope: Friday, Feb 6

An intense conversation with a close friend or romantic partner could bring you closer to this person. You probably share a number of goals, Aries, and discussions could lead to how you could work together in order to make them happen for both of you. You're more likely to take the lead, however, since your communicative abilities are particularly high right now. Put your heads together and move forward! Enjoy!

A creative project, perhaps one that could earn you some money, might well be the primary focus of your attention today. Perhaps you've been doing some writing or intend to teach a class. You might want to give the idea some thought, Taurus, if you haven't already. Your physical and mental energies are high. Success is strongly indicated if you start the ball rolling.

You could be startled to find that your artistic talents, although dormant for a while, are called into service today. A particular undertaking of those around you could benefit from your gift in this area. Don't panic, Gemini, you won't be expected to do this alone. Others will pitch in and help. One thing to be careful of today is not let your emotions run away with you. It could spoil everything.

There will be times today when you wonder if people who claim to be your allies and supporters are truly on your side. You may be tempted to go it alone but the planets warn that is probably not a good idea. Don’t give up on friendship.

It might be a smart move to keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself today, especially if they go against the grain of what the powers that be regard as acceptable. There will be a time to speak up but that time is not yet.

You need to rise above petty disputes and let friends and loved ones know that you don’t hold any grudges for what recently went wrong. Even if you are convinced that you were no way at fault don’t try to place all the blame on them.

Emotional discussions with your partner could move you to tears, Virgo. You've overcome any difficulties and probably reached a new understanding. Any relationship or friendship started or advanced now shows promise of being strong and lasting. Your basic inclination will be to control your feelings, but don't be afraid to show them. It's OK at times like this.

You may be tempted to gloss over information that does not fit the way you want to look at the world but that would be a mistake. The truth is what the truth is and not what you choose to make it. Time to wake up to reality.

You may be tempted to end a partnership that no longer seems to be worth much but don’t be hasty. According to the planets there is still some life in it yet and after today’s eclipse has done its work a more positive phase should begin.

Your actions may go against your rational thinking, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, Scorpio. Thoughts and feelings are apt to aggressively clash today, but that doesn't mean you have to be a victim of the resulting demolition. Note the big pieces that survive after the initial impact. Recognize these as your strengths and work to build them back up while leaving the smaller pieces behind.

Don’t try to hide your anxieties from friends and family members. They are so used to seeing you as super optimistic that they may find it hard to believe you are hurting inside. They will, of course, assist you – but first they need to know you need help.

Sometimes you get so attached to the past that you find it hard to move on but that won’t be a problem now. On the contrary, you will be so determined to transform your existence that you may leave too much behind! Find a sensible middle way.

It doesn't seem fair that your workload has increased these last few days. Never mind that you still have all of your normal tasks to do, your boss expects you to finalize a new budget and write a proposal as well? Enlist the help of others if you can. If you can't, simply do the best you can without sacrificing time with your family and loved ones. Ultimately, Aquarius, the latter is more important.

A clash of egos is likely over the next few days and if it takes place on the home front there may be some angry words exchanged or, worse, long periods of furious silence. Whatever the issue, let it go. It’s really not worth the aggravation.
