Jupiter's working to make this week easier for us. First, it forms a trine with the Sun on Monday the 7th, and everything will just seem to go smoothly. Then it trines Mercury on Thursday, and all those phone calls and emails will suddenly become quite pleasant. On Tuesday, in the middle of all this activity, the new Moon occurs in Aquarius. 'Expect the unexpected' will quickly become the phrase of the day.
February 7: Sun trine Jupiter

It's all good, no matter who you are or what you're doing. The bright, shiny, proud Sun is about to join hands with generous, benevolent Jupiter, the King of the gods, who's always been famous for his mercy. You, too, will be merciful, happy and outgoing -- but you won't have to worry about being cheated. Your tender mercies will be reciprocated, by anyone and everyone who can do anything for you. Go ahead and pull out all the stops. You can certainly afford it.

February 8: New Moon in Aquarius

An invisible new Moon is in the heavens today, all done up in quirky, eccentric Aquarius. This means you're due for at least one surprise -- and that you'll be delivering a whole host of unexpected treats to the ones you love. Try to keep things quiet for as long as you can, but when the suspense becomes too much, just let it go. Tell whomever 'the man behind the curtain' happens to be to step out and make his presence known. After all, you can only wear that poker face for so long, right?

February 10: Mercury trine Jupiter

Reaching out to someone far away won't be a chore now -- it will be a pleasure. You may even be moved to contact someone who's been refusing, or seems to be refusing, your calls. If you're not willing to take no for an answer -- and that's probably going to be the case -- give it one more try. Send an email or leave a message to let this lost friend know you're ready to let it go. Then, let it go. If you get an answer, wonderful. If not, forget about it. You can only do so much.
