Horoscope for Feb. 4
Thursday, Feb. 4, 2021
ARIES (March 21 to April 19): Quarrels and disputes about money and possessions might arise today. Be careful, because you have a quick fuse. Stay chill.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20): Today the Moon is opposite Mars in your sign, which can create irritability with others. (Of course, they are irritating!) Take this in stride.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): You might be frustrated because people at work are a bit annoying today. Or perhaps it’s people who are involved with a pet or your health. Either way, stay calm so you have nothing to regret later.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22): Parents must be patient with their kids today because conflicts will erupt. Similarly, it might be tough dealing with a friend or a member of a group. (Hey, these things happen.) Be cool.
