Sorry for the absence of BitchScopes last week. But the bitch is back and just in time to save you from yourself, because this week could be a bit tense. Relationships could experience some friction, and not the pleasurable kind. Generally, most people will be in their ego and focused on their own feelings. So it isn’t a good time to ask your partner for something, to have a difficult conversation, or to ask your boss for a raise. Just try to have a quiet week. Next week should be quite a bit lighter, even with Mercury retrograde.
It’s also a pretty Venusian week. Give yourself a facial, work on your budget, organize your collection of $2 bills, find some art to browse online (hopefully museums will open soon!), take a hot bath, get a massage, write some love letters... you get the idea. Get your Venus on!
2/1 Sun square Mars - competition and ego conflicts
2/1 Venus enters Aquarius - relationships can be unconventional and interesting. Things will need to be executed on “my” terms. Desire for freedom
2/5 Venus conjunct Saturn - isolation, sadness, difficulty expressing love
2/6 Venus square Uranus - unexpected urges and the need for freedom, change and excitement
2/8. Sun conjunct Mercury Rx - focus on thinking and communication, perhaps more introspective
ARIES - you are likely to find yourself reflecting on old friendships and the good ol days. You may even experience a re-do of something from the past. When that happens, use it as an opportunity to heal whatever this brings up. You can make significant progress in the present when you heal the past.
TAURUS - this week may find you just plain ol’ pissed off. Rather than a situation or circumstance, this may be directed at a particular person that you feel has misled you. Your ire toward this person is likely valid, just stick to the facts. Try writing out your feelings before you confront them. Your ruling planet is on your side, particularly if you remain cool.
GEMINI - the end of a confusing period is coming. This could be something regarding a romantic relationship that has been unclear lately. Interestingly, this is likely more about the ending of an illusion you’ve held. Mercury is your ruler, and in retrograde, you can gain a new perspective. You’ll be grateful to see the reality of the situation so it’s nothing to be scared about.
CANCER - while the world sulks this week, you could have a great business week. If you have a new idea or “recipe” of some sort, keep it to yourself for a bit. If a potential helper or benefactor appears, you will know if you can trust him. Chances are you can, just don’t share info with anyone who might be in competition with you. A prosperous week for you could bring out jealousy in others
LEO - when an opportunity shows up this week, no one will have to tell you to jump on it. You’ll be already on the road! There is a potential sudden change in some area you’ve felt stuck about, and you’ll be very pleased to see this movement. Stay flexible and don’t crowd your schedule this week.
VIRGO - the law of cause and effect will be in full effect for you this week. So if you’ve been waiting for an outcome about something, it could show up this week. If it seems harsh or unfair, just remember that what goes up must come down, and other cliches about physics. Take this outcome, regardless if it’s hood or bad, and know that this annoying chapter is ending with this. Onward and upward.
LIBRA - keep your expectations in check in this cosmic weather. You may have already experienced the trickery of Mercury. If and when it shows up for you, don’t let overwhelm or discouragement take over. Setbacks and glitches in your plans will be temporary and surmountable. Check your work this week.
SCORPIO - while you may be really inspired to start a new project (or relationship), sit on it a while You can definitely take care of some research and leg work now, and that will make your launch that much smoother. Even if you were to try to push through and launch now, you are likely to find speed bumps. If this is a new relationship, take your time getting to know them. This week is a little weird for love.
SAGITTARIUS - pay attention to your dreams and intuition this week...they could hold the info to your next venture or adventure. Despite Mercury retrograde you may feel pretty confident, abd that’s good. Just be aware of over doing it as a means of either coping or celebrating. Good financial planning will literally pay off in the coming weeks and months.
CAPRICORN - stay light on your feet, as the path may change right under you. Try not to be too attached to how things go this week, because your plans are likely to fluctuate. The old adage about one door closing and another blah blah blah holds very true this week. So if you encounter some “no”s this week, shake it off and keep moving.
AQUARIUS - the help you need will show up, if not this week, then very soon. This could come in the form of advice, which Aquarians tend to loathe. Take what is offered because it is likely to benefit you. You have the green light to proceed with plans that are either already in motion, and even new ones (no other sign has that message this week!)
PISCES - your best bet this week is to organize and sort through information and possibilities. You may need to make a decision that you feel unprepared for. The answer to the question involves some kind of sacrifice, but it will be worth it. Have faith!
