You start the month focused and wanting to be taken seriously. You will need to make finding the right game and wining strategy your goal this month, if winning at the casino is on your to-do list. You will find this to be particularly important on Friday and Monday, which will be the days when your focus will be at its lowest point. Don't try to play any highly strategic games this week, because you will be too distracted to achieve the results you want and will have a greater chance of losing than wining. Therefore, stick to the simple and fun game you enjoy, because staying comfortable while you play is important to your success. You need to work on building your self confidence back up and scoring a good win will provide you with the positivity you need. Others will be convinced by your methodical approach making this an ideal time to deal with officials like bank managers, accountants and bosses. Things will soon lighten up for you, an encounter with someone who 'lights your candle' perhaps. Expect life to get really hot when your ruler Venus teams up with fiery Mars and Pluto promising fireworks mid February. You can be sure this situation will remain steamy and by the end of the month when Venus links with unpredictable Uranus you could find yourself acting in a way that surprises everyone as well as you.
