Horoscopes (Jan. 31-Feb. 6)

By Cal Garrison

By Metro Times editorial staff

AQUARIUS: Jan. 21 – Feb. 20 The next few months will see a lot of action in your work arena. It will help to tone down the drive to push yourself too hard. If you wind up getting sick from the daily grind, alternative healing therapies will do more good than the standard fare. Inside all of this there are other issues feeding the fire. Your relationship story is a double-edged sword that goes up and down. Keep an eye on it. In some cases the two-for-one special drives you to overwork as a means of avoidance. You can’t see what’s up if you’re preoccupied. Being clear about where others are coming from is mandatory.

Horoscopes (Jan. 24-30)

by Cal Garrison

By Metro Times editorial staff

AQUARIUS: Jan. 21 – Feb. 20 There is some third-party interference that is making it hard to get the job done. Either that or it’s making it hard to get your needs met. Whatever this is about, it’s time to figure out how to be a grown-up about it. The ones who seem to be stepping on your toes are too out of touch with what works to know better. At times like this there’s no way to confront people or approach things directly. A good strategy is in order. It may even be time to split. Detach yourself from the situation, assess your options, and stay cool enough to deal with their insecurities.

SAT, 2/10 Cupid’s Undie Run @ Fillmore Detroit Started in 2010, Cupid’s Undie Run encourages runners to strip down for a cause. Chad Leathers, one of the nonprofit’s co-founders, was inspired to start the one-mile fun run after his brother was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis. Runners raise money to go toward scientific research to cure the disease, and then dash around downtown Detroit before returning to the Fillmore for an underwear party. Runners are encouraged to keep it PG-13, but underoos are required to participate in the event. Starts at noon; 2115 Woodward Ave., Detroit; cupidsundierun.com; Registration fee starts at $35.
