So, we are looking at ambition, backbiting, lies, underhanded schemes, and a dire need to flee the situation. And we haven’t even had our coffee yet. This whole week is a tricky one; it’s Christmas week and that ironically always means stress and anxiety. We’re stuck in traffic, we’re going broke. We have to see people we haven’t seen in a while and just the thought of it is enough to make us loony....

While these transits don’t automatically spell out trouble, they will have our heads in the clouds. We will be so preoccupied on this day that we better be careful to not walk into traffic. In other words, that’s the kind of day we might have today. January 31, 2022, is the kind of day where we aren’t paying attention to the present moment. When we are preoccupied with ‘whatever’ we miss out on opportunities and we fail to pick up on social cues....

During this week, we’ll have the chance to see many opposing viewpoints, and for some signs of the Zodiac, there will be some stark contrasts in the making.

Well, that’s not going to happen here!

Such is the case for three zodiac signs whose fears about love come true during the Moon in Capricorn. With our Moon in Capricorn February 25 - 27, 2022, we can expect to find ourselves with mixed emotions when it comes to love. This is a very productive, very ambition-driven transit that really does push us towards business and work. For those who love this kind of stuff, they’ll be in heaven; while others may just reap the Moon in Capricorn vibe in the form of watching someone we love devote themselves completely to work, work, and only work....

Perhaps what determines whether or not an LDR will last is just luck, not how you met — either by friends or through another means. For many of us, our only form of connection comes through the internet, and that’s how we meet people, become fast friends or fall in love. We form deep friendships online, and we even get into romances with strangers we’ve chatted with long before we meet in person....

Although the stylistic meaning of rain is interpreted as sadness, these songs about rain range in genre and association to create the perfect rainy day playlist!...

I personally love the way people get excited to leave the troubles of the past behind and welcome a brighter future. Entering the New Year and making resolutions feels like we all have a universal chance at a fresh start, and that’s awesome. But on the flip side, the harsh reality remains that we’re all the same people with the same issues and facing the same situations after the clock strikes midnight and January 1 begins that we were on December 31....

If you are a stargazer you know how looking at the stars and their constellations is always a fun and beautiful experience. That’s why we have been doing it for centuries.

I mean we are smart, we are wise, we are self-confident. We should know better. Right? However, for a variety of reasons, all of those strengths can melt away and we are left at the mercy of relationships that can suck us dry emotionally and mentally. Many of these reasons are more than just cultural expectations or the influence of TV, movies and music. For many of us, it’s psychological, with deep emotional roots that can’t simply be ignored — even when we know better and want to have a healthy relationship with a healthy person....

But you just can’t just check out of life because you don’t know how to move on from grief — you have to be able to accept that this person has passed away and that they would want you to keep going. The people you love wouldn’t want you to hold yourself back because of your grief for them.

You may have dismissed it as a harmless glare from someone who wasn’t too fond of you. But you might be overlooking the power of the evil eye. In some cultures, it is believed that the evil eye is capable of causing injury, death, and misfortune. In Islamic religion, the evil eye is thought to transmit negative energy from one person to another due to jealousy or misdirected admiration. Pregnant women, children, and animals are especially at risk for the bad luck associated with a person giving them the evil eye....

Even if you’re not much into social media, your friends and family are there and Facebook is a great way to stay in touch with them. But once you’re there, it’s all too easy to “Like” and “Follow” a mind-numbing and time-sucking number of pages.
