Your lookahead horoscope: February 1, 2026 | Canada Voices

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You’re not much for inner conflict – you are generally happy with who you are and what you want from life – but there will be times this year when doubts start creeping in. Use those doubts to push your expectations to a much higher level.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Anyone who suggests that you might like to try a different method or routine is going to wish they had kept their mouth shut. You are in no mood to take advice or admit that you don’t know it all. Your ego won’t allow it.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If you have to make allowances for a loved one’s erratic behavior that’s the price you must pay for keeping things sweet on the home front. You can though be a positive influence on them by showing how to get things done without losing your cool.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You may be searching too hard for a solution to a problem that isn’t really much of a problem at all. The more others say you need to do something drastic the more you should ask yourself why they seem so desperate to get you involved.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

The current full moon could make you a little bit crazy, especially when it comes to spending money. You don’t have to splash out on fancy food and clothes to have a good time. There are plenty of ways to have fun without breaking the bank.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

It’s not like you to get overly emotional but the full moon seems to be tugging on your heart strings. It’s good that you can feel other people’s pain but you don’t have to blame yourself for what they are going through. Focus on your own situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

The more demands you make of people the less inclined they will be to assist you. That may seem unfair seeing as how often you have helped them in the past but if it forces you to stand on your own two feet it’s a very good thing.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. You may not want to draw attention to yourself but you can’t move up in the world if you are stuck at the back of the crowd. Make full use of the talents you were born with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You have a reputation for toughness but there is a softer side to your nature as well and that is the side you need to show now. It doesn’t matter what others may have said or done, it matters only that you are willing to forgive and forget.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Someone you thought you knew very well will surprise you with some of the things they say and do over the next few days. It won’t affect you in any adverse way but maybe in future you should look more closely at other people’s motivations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Money is always important but it isn’t in the same league as love, so if you find yourself having to choose between making a profit or making someone happy this week choose the latter without hesitation. Not everything has a monetary value.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

The current full moon will make it easy for you to get to the bottom of why a friend or loved one has been in such a miserable mood. Most likely it’s because of something they thought you said. Make it clear to them they were mistaken.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Physical activity may be good for you but it could also cause problems if you go too far. The moment you feel that you are overstretching yourself you must slow down and step back from what you are doing. Stay within your comfort zone.
