2005-02-01: Sharp Tongue
Someone has rather a sharp tongue and they're not afraid to use it today. It will be quite painful if you're on the receiving end of all these gibes and sarcastic digs, especially if deep down you know you deserve them. The truth always hurts! On the other hand, you may be the one who's dishing out the barbed comments, in which case you should ask yourself whether there isn't a more positive way to get your point across. Advantageous colours are cinnamon and platinum. Lucky numbers are 9 and 62.
2005-02-02: Love And Travel
Love and travel go together this month, so you know what to do if you're currently searching for Mr or Ms Right! If you're about to go on holiday you could lose your heart, either to someone you meet while you're away or to the destination itself. Travel of the mind could have the same emotional impact, perhaps when you fall for a fellow student or you become besotted with the subject you're studying. Auspicious colours are basalt and cherry. Lucky numbers are 20 and 25.
2005-02-03: More Sensitive
It's a strange day and you're feeling much more sensitive than usual. This will have one of two effects on you: either you'll feel completely in tune with the people around you and will be open to all sorts of spiritual insights, or you'll want to escape from harsh reality and disappear into a little world of your own. If it's the latter, you'll benefit from practising some sort of meditation or creative visualization. Lively colours are mother of pearl and obsidian. Lucky numbers are 12 and 7.
2005-02-04: Tuned In
You're still very sensitive, and today it helps you to get along well with the people around you. You may find that you know what someone is going to say before they open their mouth, or that you have a complete understanding of what they're talking about because you've experienced the same thing yourself. Inspirational colours are striped agate and caramel. Lucky numbers are 40 and 48.
2005-02-05: Relationships Go Well
Relationships will go really well today provided that everyone is feeling as upbeat and go-getting as you. But things will soon come unstuck if you encounter someone who seems to be holding you back or dithering. You want action and energy, and you'll quickly get impatient if people fail to fulfil your expectations. It sounds as though you need to calm down! Fortunate colours are ginger and ultramarine. Lucky numbers are 10 and 37.
2005-02-06: Avoid Extremes
During the next few weeks you'll be happy to expend a great deal of energy on pastimes and people that mean a lot to you. You may even become totally dedicated to them. However, it will be a very different story with anything or anyone that fails to grab you in this way, because you won't want to waste your time. Do your best to avoid such all-or-nothing extremes. Propitious colours are hazelnut and copper. Lucky numbers are 2 and 15.
2005-02-07: Spring In Your Step
What a marvellous day! You've got a real spring in your step and you're feeling fantastic. It's one of those encouraging days when a positive attitude gets positive results, so you won't have anything to complain about. Keep your eyes peeled for a fabulous opportunity that comes your way, especially if it arrives courtesy of a loved one or someone who lives abroad. Advantageous colours are ebony and avocado. Lucky numbers are 9 and 19.
2005-02-08: New Moon
Life has so much to offer at the moment that you feel spoilt for choice. Well, today's New Moon is encouraging you to be selective about the projects you're going to tackle, and then to concentrate on making them a success. Travel is especially favourable for you during the coming fortnight, so consider arranging anything from a short trip to the journey of a lifetime. Propitious colours are silver and cherry red. Lucky numbers are 3 and 42.
2005-02-09: Hard To Concentrate
Be careful if you're dealing with people in authority or power today because things won't always go according to plan. You'll also struggle to concentrate on anything for long, so ideally you should introduce plenty of variety into your day so you can chop and change from one task to the next as the fancy takes you. However, this classic Gemini behaviour may puzzle onlookers, so be prepared for some odd comments. Favourable colours are blackberry and claret. Lucky numbers are 23 and 40.
2005-02-10: Big Ideas
You've got some big ideas and you're really excited about them, but the question is whether they're feasible or more like pie in the sky. It's no good telling you to keep your feet on the ground because that won't appeal in the slightest. Instead, you can't help getting carried away by enthusiasm and by the power of your own vivid imagination. So dream on today and assess your ideas tomorrow when you're more level- headed. Lively colours are raspberry and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 22 and 45.
2005-02-11: Nasty Atmosphere?
A certain person is being very demanding and controlling and it looks as though they want to wrap you round their little finger. You won't want to let this happen, but standing up to this person could be quite difficult because it will lead to a nasty atmosphere in which they try to make you feel as guilty as possible. Don't fall for this trick! Steady colours are aubergine and sepia. Lucky numbers are 6 and 9.
2005-02-12: Analytical Mood
You're in a very analytical mood today, so turn your attention to your relationships. Think about which ones are doing well, which ones need some tender loving care and which ones, if any, should be allowed to quietly fade into the background. You also need to consider how you can improve the atmosphere between you and certain people, and then take action. Expressive colours are apricot and bondi blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 11.
2005-02-13: Chatty, Not Catty
Enjoy your social life whenever you get the chance. You're feeling chatty and exuberant, and you'll also get a big kick out of making people laugh. If you can spare the time you'll enjoy immersing yourself in a favourite hobby that allows you to forget about any worries that may be currently bugging you. Beneficial colours are burgundy and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 12 and 17.
2005-02-14: Happy Valentine's Day!
You're terrific company at the moment and this Valentine's Day is no exception. Being so popular is doing wonders for your ego and you'll blossom whenever you're under the spotlight. You're also in a very chatty frame of mind and will happily ramble on for hours, but try to let other people get a word in edgeways every now and then. Auspicious colours are mauve and dark tan. Lucky numbers are 5 and 8.
2005-02-15: Perfectionist
A strong yearning for perfection and impossible ideals sweeps over you today, and you'll feel quite dissatisfied with anything or anyone that doesn't come up to your high standards. You might as well accept that you're being completely idealistic and that messy real life very rarely matches your dreams. If you really need to escape, why not watch a romantic film or read a fascinating book. Advantageous colours are primrose yellow and dark green. Lucky numbers are 16 and 41.
2005-02-16: Expanding Horizons
You've enjoyed expanding your mental horizons recently, so why stop now? From today, you're being encouraged to think about ways to increase your job potential and achieve some of your goals. How about retraining for a new career or adding to your existing qualifications? Don't be shy about seeking expert advice if you think it's necessary. Ideal colours are dusky rose and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 4 and 40.
2005-02-17: Looking Sweet
Life is looking pretty sweet from where you're standing, and you want to celebrate. If you can't think of any other reason to raise a glass or go out on the town, celebrate the fact that it's Thursday! You certainly won't need much encouragement to go out and have a good time, but the only problem will lie in knowing when to stop, especially if you're with someone very special. Fortunate colours are copper and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 28 and 56.
2005-02-18: Goals And Ambition
During the coming four weeks you need to think about your long- term aims and ambitions. How are they coming along or have your virtually ignored them recently? Try to set yourself a goal and work steadily towards it, because when you've achieved it will be a fabulous boost to your ego. You may also be given more responsibility during the coming month. Stabilising colours are pale green and toffee. Lucky numbers are 27 and 64.
2005-02-19: Bad Mix
Love and money don't go together today, as you'll soon discover. A shopping trip with your other half could turn into a slanging match when you disagree about what to buy or how much you should spend. There's also a possibility that an argument about money may be the outward expression of an underlying problem connected with sex or jealousy. Beneficial colours are smoky quartz and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 25 and 10.
2005-02-20: New Light
You see someone in a totally new light today. The more you respect them, or the more fixed your opinion is of them, the more surprised you'll be when they reveal a completely different side of their personality. You might also hear some surprising or unexpected news about your job or about someone you work for. Receptive colours are bright orange and cream. Lucky numbers are 23 and 59.
2005-02-21: Bringing You Closer
This is a wonderful day for talking to a partner about the things that really matter to them, because the conversation will bring you closer together. If you meet someone for the first time today, it could be the start of a very intense relationship that will teach you a great deal about yourself. What's more, you may get the distinct impression that you were meant to know one another. Positive colours are jade and silver. Lucky numbers are 1 and 23.
2005-02-22: Plenty To Say
There's no need to worry if you're taking part in a discussion or important meeting, or you're going to a job interview, today. You'll have plenty to say for yourself, without hogging the conversation, and you'll also be able to stand up for yourself if necessary. Even when chatting with older friends, parents or your other half, you'll be able to express yourself with clarity and vigour. Favourable colours are dark purple and bright red. Lucky numbers are 18 and 39.
2005-02-23: Good Time
You're looking for a good time today and you won't be satisfied with anything less. You certainly have no interest in work, nor in anything else that feels like a chore or which stops you enjoying yourself. It will do you good to get out of the house and, preferably, to visit somewhere that you don't know very well. Take a chatty companion with you. Auspicious colours are dark pink and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 7 and 32.
2005-02-24: Full Moon
Your home life will be affected during the coming two weeks by today's Full Moon. Any problems that you've been refusing to face up to will now make their presence known, creating a slight sense of crisis and agitation. Try not to get sucked into other people's emotional dramas in which you have to do what they want in order to keep the peace, but instead be prepared to compromise and talk about what's wrong. Opportune colours are jet black and plum. Lucky numbers are 33 and 34.
2005-02-25: Restless Gemini
You're gripped by restlessness and boredom today, and it feels as though your life is very restrictive, even if that isn't really the case at all. You need to give yourself as much room to breathe as possible, otherwise you'll want to do something outrageous simply to express your frustration. Keep away from anyone who's a real stick-in- the-mud because they'll make you feel worse. Fortunate colours are raspberry and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 1 and 32.
2005-02-26: Influential People
The next few weeks provide a chance to improve the atmosphere between you and your elders and betters. Make a point of talking to them as fellow human beings so you can find out who they really are. There's also a chance that you might become emotionally involved with someone who's much older or more influential than you. Harmonious colours are teal blue and tan. Lucky numbers are 4 and 21.
2005-02-27: Practical And Sensible
You're in a very practical and sensible frame of mind this Sunday, so it's a brilliant day for tackling tasks that call for logic and clear thinking. You'll excel at dealing with paperwork, whether this means sorting out some red tape, filling in official forms or writing important letters. You'll end the day with the quiet satisfaction of a job well done. Opportunistic colours are persimmon and olive. Lucky numbers are 25 and 48.
2005-02-28: In Demand
It's a great day for Gemini, because everyone wants your company, and it seems that they all want to be your friend. If you're taking part in a social event you'll find plenty of people to talk to even if you didn't know a soul when you walked through the doors. Don't be surprised if someone asks you out or makes a pass at you - it's that sort of day! Sociable colours are crimson and ivory. Lucky numbers are 11 and 76.
