Before you take another mouthful, are you really hungry? Or are you using food as a way to temper your mood? Tension with relatives or coworkers could lead you directly to your favorite fast-food joint or the indulgent pastry shop across the street from your office. By all means, get the curly fries or almond croissant, but dont use them as a sedative, Aquarius. When youve eaten everything in sight, your problems will still be there. Deal with the dilemma more directly, but first, connect with a confidante who can lend an ear (or a shoulder). Physical exercise also helps you gain perspective, so take a power-walk through the park to clear your mind instead of stuffing your face. (Recommended reading: Women, Food, and God by Geneen Roth.) On Friday night, cozy up with your nearest and dearest. With the Taurus moon settling into your domestic sector until Sunday afternoon, youll opt for an intimate vibe instead of the party scene. Got the energy to play host? Invite your inner circle over to Chateau Aquarius for a healthy home-cooked meal or to watch a conversation-spurring documentary. Alternatively, find out if a relative or close friend feels like having some laidback company for the weekend. As long as theyre cool with you doing your own thing, the change of scenery might do you good. On Sunday, youre baaack! With the Gemini moon illuminating your festive fifth house, youre feeling like your supersocial self again, ready to clink mugs brimming with green ale. Double bonus: troublemaker Mercury turns direct in your financial sector after a stressful three-week retrograde. Money woes melt away. Keep your ear to the ground for a job opportunity next week or a chance to rise through the ranks at your current gig!

General Characteristics of Aquarius

Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and chances are, you've got plenty of pals. Although you may look like the boy/girl next door, you love to be around unusual people and ideas. You know how to step back and find the perfect solution to any problem. And you can make friends with almost anyone! Aquarius rules surprises and originality, and you love to shock people. Just when they think they've got you figured out, you change the game. Practical jokes are your specialty. People love to be around you, because you're so accepting and fun. Remember to give some of that love to yourself, too. You make a great leader and can really stand out from the crowd. Your sign is ruled by Uranus, planet of revolution and electricity. Aquarians are ultra-modern, always into the latest gadget or concept. Like unpredictable Uranus, your temper can flare out of nowhere. When you're pissed, Aquarians can deliver a trademark lightening bolt that strikes with a force shocking even to you.
