For Thursday, Feb. 7:

This year you might not be as “out there” as in the past. In fact, much that goes on will be behind the scenes. Take time out when you’re feeling overwhelmed. If you are single, you might be surprised by the many different people you want to relate to. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from time together away from your daily grind. PISCES encourages you to spend!
