February 5: Your daily horoscope The more you tie yourself down to specific aims, the more you limit your possible routes to success. Have an overall aim for the coming year, but leave yourself plenty of room to change. Try not to plan more than a week in advance. The world around you may be chaotic, but you are a vision of calm. It may be unusual for you to be this laid back, though if you are smart you will do whatever it takes to make it last as long as possible. Changes in your place of work may be causing you all sorts of problems at the moment, but there is really nothing to worry about. In fact, in the longer term these changes may be just what you need. Be dynamic. Be different. The more chances you take between now and when the sun changes sign in a couple of weeks" time, the more options you will have later in the year. Dare to follow your dream. You need to confront your fears head on. The planets urge you to be brave and face up to what has been worrying you these past few months. Make this the day when you seize back the initiative. No one has the power to burst your bubble. The more others spin tales of despair and destruction the more you will laugh in their faces. Quite right, too. Life is good and getting better by the day, the hour, the minute. Your attitude seems a lot more positive now, especially where relationships are concerned. No doubt it has something to do with Mercury's move into your opposite sign. It signals a more upbeat approach to life in general. Cosmic activity in your fellow air sign of Aquarius urges you to be adventurous. You can be a star over the next few days, if you have the guts to go out there and make a spectacle of yourself. So, do you? Go along with what your friends suggest today, even if your heart is not really in it. Chances are it will develop into the kind of situation where you not only have a lot of fun but make some money as well. If you have not yet made up your mind about where your next vacation is going to be, you must get on it straight away. The sun moves out of the travel area of your chart two weeks today - make a decision by then. Because you can see both sides of an issue you may find it hard deciding who to support. But what makes you think such a decision is necessary? Stand back and let your rivals fight among themselves. The sun remains in your sign until the 18th, which means you have plenty of time to make your mark. Whatever successes you have enjoyed or failures you have endured, put them all behind you and do something remarkable. Mind planet Mercury moves into your sign today, making it easier for you to see things as they really are rather than how other people want you to see them. You'll realize that most of your fears are unfounded.
