∴ Tim Stephens ∵January24th-30th

Expect good results in travel, love, intellectual pursuits, higher learning, legal affairs and cultural venues now to mid-February. (To do so, you might have to abandon anything started in the last 3 weeks.) You're at your intellectual peak, but it's a smooth, calm peak.

The weeks ahead also emphasize ambition, prestige relations, and your community standing. Show the boss your skills, accomplishments. Relationships remain volatile. If you're young, everything that is restrictive, negative, even frightening about your bond, or about the other person, shows now (Jan./Feb.) –on the plus side, this is the worst. I mean, don't freak or react impulsively. (Nor in June/July, when this state will return.) Everything that you don't want exposed (including your fears) might be exposed. The solution is not more secrecy, nor, probably, to run from this relationship. The solution is to love and be vulnerable, so the one you love can understand and help. If you're unattached, think twice before starting a new significant relationship before March 5, and between May 27 and August 2. All that aside, this is one of the best years for romance and physical bonding in a long time, so skip the difficult times (above) and plunge in otherwise. (Guard against STDs.) Sun./Mon. are for home, kids, recuperation. Love, romance, beauty and pleasure Mon. night to Thurs. dawn (PST). (Avoid Tues. night.) Tackle chores and protect your health Thurs. to Sat. eve – proceed carefully, observe safety rules.
