February 2

Who you are

You keep a running map of everyone you know and what they need. Two friends who have never met, a colleague and the job she has not seen advertised, your cousin and the person who went through the same illness: you feel the missing connection like a small itch until you do something about it. Aquarius loves people in the plural, and this is your version of it.

You hold a few lines that never move, principles Saturn fixed in you early and you keep whether or not the room agrees. Uranus supplies the sideways idea, the pairing that makes everyone say they would never have thought of that. People bring you their loose ends because you can usually name what the fragment belongs with. Groups you touch tend to hold together long after you have left them.

Your gifts

• Sight for the pairing. You spot which two people would make each other better before either suspects it.
• Fixed principles underneath. Your inventiveness sits on a small set of rules you will not bend.
• Groups that last. The circles you build keep meeting without you having to organise them.

Your shadow

You can start treating people as pieces to be placed. You arrange friends into a pattern they never agreed to, then feel quietly betrayed when one of them wants out of it. Endings offend you more than they should. When something you built comes apart, you spend months trying to repair a friendship group that everyone else stopped attending a year ago.

Your soul work

Ask before you arrange. Find out what someone actually wants before you introduce them to the answer you picked. And learn how to let a connection end kindly, since knowing when something has finished is as much a skill as knowing who belongs together.

Days you get along with

Your sign

The eleventh sign pours water it does not drink: vision for the many, distance from the near. Aquarius carries the future, and the lesson of the present person.

Someone else

Look up another birthday

Check a friend's day, or your partner's, and send it to them.
